The Peasant Girl’s Concubine’s Name Moves the World

After everyone left, Nalan Jinnian said, "What is the price of grain in Beiming Kingdom now?"

Lu Shu: "Polished rice has already reached 40 yuan a catty, ordinary rice costs 30 yuan, brown rice costs 20 yuan, refined white flour costs 42 yuan, ordinary rice costs 32 yuan, and black flour costs 20 yuan. Erwen, now the price of food in various countries is soaring, and the price of rice and flour in Beiming country is rising every day, and the price is different every day. Moreover, the government is very strict, and because of the increase in taxes and the war, ordinary people have already I dare not sell grain anymore. It is very difficult to buy.”

Lu Shu is Lu Ye's son. Since he was twelve years old, he followed Lu Ye to Beiming Country and opened rice shops. Over the years, five millet shops have been opened in different cities of Beiming Country.

Every rice shop is operated in a calm manner.

The money earned is not much, and of course the purpose is not to earn money, but to stockpile food.

So the customer group is very clear, common people.

Therefore, the price of the shop is not set high, the quality of the grain is not the best, and there is no polished rice, so the people who come to buy rice are all living in civilian areas and poor areas, and farmers in villages outside the city are not attractive at all. attention.

Not only in Beifeng County, but also in several counties, there is such a calm rice shop, the purpose is to buy grain openly.

Although they didn't dare to buy too much and wanted to sell it, they had secretly stockpiled a lot of food over the past few years, enough for a hundred thousand troops to feed Beiming for a month.

But it's only one month, it's not enough!

He was anxious about how to buy as much grain as possible. Now that Beiming State's taxes have increased, and the government's management of grain has become stricter, it is very difficult to store more grain, and more and more money is needed.

Nalan Jinnian said again: "Starting tomorrow, you spread the word that we have a batch of grain seeds with a yield of one thousand catties per mu to sell."

Lu Shu was taken aback when he heard the words, there is a batch of grain seeds with a yield of 1000 jin for sale?

Lu Shu thought he heard it wrong.

Or Nalan Jinnian was wrong.

Nalan Jinnian continued: "It's not about selling silver, but about exchanging grain seeds for grain. One catty of grain seeds is exchanged for two hundred catties of grain. If it is for silver, one catty of grain seeds costs ten taels of silver. You spread some news out , this matter should be done more covertly and secretly."

Only by doing it secretly, and the more careful you do it, can you dispel the suspicion of the monarch of Beiming Kingdom.

Warm in my heart, if the price of ordinary rice is 30 Wen a catty, 200 catties of grain would only cost 6 taels of silver. Given the choice of grain type, of course everyone would choose 200 catties of grain.

The price is fairly reasonable.

Lu Shu was sure that he had heard correctly, and he quickly thought of the benefits of it.

He said excitedly: "Master, don't worry! This subordinate will definitely handle it properly!"

Wen Nuan wanted to hear Lu Shu's method, so he said, "We brought five hundred catties of grain seeds over here this time. How do you think it should be replaced with grain, which is safer."

Five hundred catties of grain can be exchanged for one hundred thousand catties of grain.

Although there are 100,000 catties of food, if they are full, it can only feed a 100,000 army for five days.

But five days is enough to decide the victory of a battle.

Lu Shu thought for a while and said, "I'll let the regular customers know a little bit about it recently."

Lu Shu said what he thought of.

Nuan nodded: "This method is good!"

Lu Shu was still a little worried: "It's just that two hundred catties of grain is not a small amount. I'm worried that few people will believe it. I'm afraid we will have to wait for the spring grain to be planted and see the difference, or the autumn harvest, when everyone really harvests a thousand catties of grain. More people are willing to exchange."

Now the food in the hands of the people of Beiming is really tight.

Last year, there was a drought in the north of Nalan Kingdom, floods in the south, and drought in many places in Beiming Kingdom. The grain production was already reduced, and taxes were increased.

That's why the price of food has risen so fast. It is estimated that the polished rice will exceed 50 Wen a catty by the end of the year. After all, the polished rice is eaten by rich people, and there are many rich people in Beiming Country.

Wen Nuan: "Don't worry about this. The grain seeds with a yield of one thousand catties per mu are different from ordinary grain seeds."

Lu Ye was relieved when he heard that.

Wen Nuan thought of something and then asked, "Is there a black market for grain trading in Beiming State, or is there a black market auction in Beiming State?"

Lu Shu's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Yes! There is a black market auction. Exactly two days later, there will be a black market auction in the evening."

If the grain seeds with a yield of one thousand catties per mu are auctioned, the grain in exchange will be more.

Nalan Jinnian immediately said, "Make arrangements."

"Yes!" Lu Shu replied immediately.

Afterwards, Lu Shu reported some more things and then withdrew.

Nalan Jinnian looked at Wen Nuan: "Do you want to go back to the room and sleep for a while?"

Wen Nuan actually slept quite well in the carriage, after all, he was taken care of so well by someone.

But she glanced at the dark shadow under Nalan Jinnian's eyes, and nodded: "Okay, can you sleep with me?"

"Um."

So the two went back to the house to catch up on sleep and didn't wake up until lunch.

For lunch, Nalan Jinnian ate in a restaurant outside with warmth, the eighth princess, and Amber.

The next day, Lu Shu whispered to a regular customer who came to buy rice: "Boss Lin, I got some grain seeds from Nalan Country that can produce a thousand catties per mu, do you want it?"

Boss Lin's eyes widened when he heard the words: "Shopkeeper Lu, you lied to me, didn't you?"

"Why am I lying to you! Don't you buy enough rice noodles from my shop? You can't trust me because of our friendship! I worked so hard to find someone to get it secretly in Nalan Kingdom. I was transported back at great risk! I was almost discovered by the officials of Nalan Kingdom, and I couldn't come back!"

Boss Lin is the owner of a noodle shop, and there is a village in his family. There are tens of acres of land in the village. It is considered a small rich family. It is still powerful to exchange a thousand or several hundred catties of grain for a few catties of grain seeds, so Lu Shu will talk to him.

"Really? What a catty of silver, give me ten catties!"

"Ten taels of silver a catty!"

Boss Lin's eyes widened when he heard the words: "Ten taels of silver a catty? Why don't you go grab it!"

"Boss Lin, I don't want to, but the risk of transporting these grains from Nalan Kingdom is higher! And you also know that these grains are not sold in Nalan Kingdom. It is not easy to get them out. The quantity is not much! Grain prices are rising every day now, and one catty per mu can produce thousands of catties of grain, won’t you earn back if you plant thousands of catties of grain in the coming year?”

"It's too expensive, why don't you make it cheaper, besides, how do I know if the grain is real?"

"I promise it's true! It's not true, you come to me tomorrow to give you your money back! I have to open this shop, right?! And the grain is different! You'll know it after you've seen it! Come on, I'll give it to you." Take a look!" Lu Shu patted his chest and promised.
