Two Hundred and Forty-Fifth: The Battle of Grain Shops (6)

Although there is cheap food, many people feel repulsed and disgusted by the purchase restrictions. "The place in Hejian County is not big, but it is not small. It is really troublesome to go to the grain store for a day or two of rations.

"Is there no food in your shop? If you have money but don't make money, why buy restrictions?"

A man's voice sounded from the crowd. The man was dressed in coarse linen and his head was tied with straw ropes. He looked like a very ordinary farmer.

At this time, the common people around the grain store seemed to have been instructed, and suddenly became enlightened, chatting about it.

"If there is no food, there will be no food. Why do you make such a fuss? Your family doesn't sell food. There are other shops in Hejian that sell food. It's not safe in this world now. I go all the way to get some rations. If you meet those people What about the bad guys?"

These words touched the minds of many people, and they became even more worried.

That's right, isn't it harmful to go out for such a little food?

"...That is, whether there is food or not, give me an accurate word. If there is, sell it as soon as possible. If not, don't waste our time, so we can go to another place to buy. If you delay the time, when the time comes It’s gone up again, is your shop responsible for it?”

"You're black-hearted, and I haven't seen how much cheaper you are selling than others. You're trying all these tricks... Whether you sell it or not, or if you don't sell it, you will leave!" There were many sharp voices from the crowd, pointing at the grain shop every sentence. , Shake the hearts of the people.

Qi Guan asked the old god to stand aside, so others couldn't hear it, but he could hear those people who were sowing dissension, their tone sounded aggressive but they didn't have any malicious intentions...It's more like stirring up the atmosphere than sowing the crowd. Guide the people to watch and listen.

Therefore, he did not stand up to explain the benefits of the purchase restriction, but with a little playfulness on the corners of his lips, his eyes fell into the grain shop.

He wanted to see what Liu Langjun had left behind.

Seeing that many people had been provoked into a rage, and the crowd was passionate, the shopkeeper of the grain store hastily lifted the hem of his clothes, crossed the threshold, his face was full of fear, and made a round bow to the crowd, and the crowd Only then did the noise cool down a little.

"Fathers and folks,

The small shop operates on a small budget, and it can gain a firm foothold here in Hejian, thanks to the care of everyone on weekdays. "

The shopkeeper was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but the common people liked to hear such good words, and their emotions were once again appeased.

"Who wouldn't say good things, let's be honest. Do you have any food here? I managed to scrape together the money and plan to buy more, so you just toss about purchase restrictions. Sincerely offend people, right?" The crowd didn't know who it was. Open your mouth, with an outrageous attitude.

The shopkeeper was so busy that there was still sweat on his forehead, and he said with a wry smile, "Folks, this is really embarrassing. The small shop made this purchase restriction for the benefit of everyone. Why did it come to you? It's just looking for trouble." What about food? Naturally, there is plenty of food..."

"Then why are you restricting purchases? Can the business still be done!"

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was interrupted by that voice again. At this time, the crowd felt a little sympathetic to the shopkeeper.

His service attitude is quite good, and his attitude is also low, but when he meets someone with a bad temper, he is forced to be pitiful at the moment.

"Of course this business is done, but you can't stop doing it with restrictions on purchases." The shopkeeper bowed again, and said solemnly, "Nowadays the world is not stable, who wouldn't want to fill their rice tanks to the brim? But in recent days, food prices have skyrocketed , the folks also see it..."

"I know that I sell it expensively, but I don't know how to sell it cheaper. Who are you bluffing!"

Qi Guanrang almost laughed out loud when he heard the back and forth conversation between the shopkeeper and Tuo'er.

Liu Langjun is indeed a wonderful person, the other party dared to resort to such a harmful method.

The shopkeeper patted his chest and said to the crowd, "You can't say that, open the door for business, who doesn't want to make money?"

The crowd listened quietly, and the shopkeeper had already memorized the manuscript in his heart, speaking impassionedly.

"It's just that there is a way of doing business, and the small shop doesn't even bother to do such an act of taking advantage of the fire. But why is it marking such a high price now? It's really a last resort! Think about it, guys, if the small shop still sells It was cheap, did the villagers buy more, or those who took the opportunity to store up food and wealth bought more? Yesterday, the small shop, together with the other two, sold a total of 2,000 shi..."

Sell ​​two thousand stone?

This business is good. Since there is still so much surplus food, why don't you show off some purchase restrictions?

Everyone was confused when they heard it, but some people had already understood.

It is estimated that the two thousand stones were mostly bought by those who stockpiled grain, not by the people who really needed it!

"...If we continue to sell at this rate, within seven or eight days, the store's grain depot will be emptied..." The shopkeeper's words were a bit false, not to mention seven or eight days, but even two or three days. Unable to bear it, "Master, the master, after much deliberation, came up with a way to limit the purchase, so that the people who really need it can buy food. After the purchase is restricted, the price of food will be lower than it is now..."

No amount of rhetoric is enough to say, "The price of food will be lower after the purchase restriction"!

The food in the grain shop is indeed much more expensive than usual, but it is much cheaper than the food that is often nine times or ten times more expensive.

Gritting your teeth, many people can afford it.

Having said that, many people's hearts began to waver, and they turned to the grain shop.

The shopkeeper took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and said in a loud voice, "Folks, although the world is difficult today, but God blesses you, there should be a small harvest this year. In two or three months, you should also start preparing for the autumn harvest. By then, the food will also be available. Slow down, everyone will not worry about hunger. Small shops have limited purchases. To be honest, you can’t make much money, but if you can make the big guys survive until then, earn less and earn less. At least you can feel at ease. Do you think this is the case? In business is business, and business has its way!"

Qi Guan raised the feather fan in his hand to cover the curve of his lips.

Liu Langjun's hand is really beautiful.

Purchasing restrictions to curb food prices, others may be tossed to death secretly, after all, this move has touched the interests of many people.

It's a pity that Liu Langjun himself is also of noble birth, and he is the only son of the second wife of Liu's mansion.

As long as Liu She does not fall, the gentry in Hejian will fear "him".

So what about the loss of many unscrupulous merchants who are eager to make a lot of money due to the purchase restriction?

If he wanted to move Liu Xi, he had to see if Liu She agreed.

The business of the Liufu Grain Shop is still booming, and there is an endless stream of people buying grain.

For them, even if they had to travel an hour or two longer, as long as they could buy cheap food, it would be worth it...

"This is the real businessman!"

Many people expressed their feelings from the bottom of their hearts, especially when they found that other grain shops raised their prices instead of reducing their prices, they were even more admirable.

"Lanting is called fame and fortune!"

Qi Guan let him watch the play, and then went to visit Jiang Pengji in the Liu Mansion.
