Xue Yao¡¯s keen judgment impressed the prince.
The reason he agreed to buy the 50,000 shi of grain was because Xue Yao said that the purchase price of Zhejiang merchants was 20 yuan higher than this price. Even if it was the grain merchant's boast, the actual situation would not be much cheaper. Accepting the 50,000 shi of grain should not be much cheaper. deficit.
Now that Xue Yao showed insight, the prince began to seriously think about what he said about driving up food prices.
Worried that the problem was as serious as he said, the prince asked Xue Yao to go to the study alone to discuss the matter.
The two discussed several countermeasures regarding the possible rise in food prices.
The response strategy is to defeat them one by one.
Xue Yao believes that there is more than one Zhejiang businessman collecting grain, which avoids the problem of a monopoly.
There are always Zhejiang businessmen who are relatively weak-willed and worried about losing food in their hands, so they will take the initiative to make concessions.
The strategy given by the prince is to attack the heart.
When you arrive in Zhejiang, visit all the major grain stores. If the prices are too high, pick one of the grain stores and go there frequently.
This is to deliberately ignore other grain stores and make other grain stores suspect that that grain store is lowering prices privately in an attempt to monopolize the business.
"As long as the suspicion and competition among the grain merchants are stirred up, it will be the prince's side who will profit.
Xue Yao was impressed by the prince's cool and unrestrained manner in winning the battle of thousands of miles. His eyes were shining brightly at the prince's tall and straight figure.
The prince turned his head, and his pair of sleep-deaf eyes met Xue Yao's wide-open eyes.
Xue Yao hurriedly lowered his gaze, his face slightly red with embarrassment.
The prince thought that the study room was too stuffy for his companion, so he walked around and opened the carved wooden window.
Originally planning to leave for Zhejiang immediately, but thinking that if someone really revealed the news that they were eager to buy grain and rice, they couldn't seem to be in a hurry, so they simply stayed in Jinling City for two days.
The next day, Xue Yao went to various grain stores alone to talk with the major owners. However, he was not lucky enough to meet such a far-sighted shopkeeper as the first grain store. The prices offered by other grain stores were not low. In six hundred and ten articles.
It seemed that there was no chance of getting any cheap food, so Xue Yao started to enjoy the scenery of Jinling with peace of mind.
Originally, he planned to accompany the Sixth Prince to the Qinhuai River to taste the local delicacies, but the Sixth Prince declined on the grounds that he was "unaccustomed to the local environment and had no energy to go out."
Although this little brat pretends to be the same thing.
But Xue Yao knows very well.
The kid is ashamed and blaming himself for being fooled.
There were a total of thirty bags of grain, less than ten taels of silver, which was not enough for the little prince to chew for a few days, so the sixth prince blamed himself for being like this.
Xue Yao also became melancholy with the Sixth Prince.
In the situation that day, he had no choice but to reveal the truth about the Sixth Prince being tricked. Otherwise, he would no longer have any say in this grain collection and would become a joke in the eyes of the purchasing eunuchs.
"It's true that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one's own family is beating one's own family."
Who made the Sixth Prince hit the muzzle of the gun?
The prince had to discuss the specific implementation details of disaster relief loans with his advisers every day, and he also had to take some time to comfort his sixth brother. He was exhausted.
The reason why I agreed to take my sixth brother to collect grain is to make this little guy who always likes to "spread money out of charity" understand that money is hard-earned.
¡°I want the Sixth Prince to see with his own eyes the appearance of ordinary people working hard for one or two copper coins.
Unexpectedly, this little guy first experienced the treachery of the common people
"There are good people and bad people in this world. You must be wary of strangers." The prince said comfortingly: "It's not a bad thing to waste a little money and learn a lesson. I have sent someone to track down the person who sold the grain to you. Old man, he can't escape the county government's trial, so don't worry about this."
"I'm not nervous." The sixth prince looked up nervously at his elder brother: "Brother, don't arrest that old man. He is so old and came from other places to push such a heavy cart just to defraud me of ten taels of silver. I think he has already We¡¯re at the end of our rope.¡±
The prince was stunned for a moment, his eyes became helpless but softened.
This sixth brother can always touch the softest place in his heart.
The prince asked: "Don't you blame that old man?"
The Sixth Prince shook his head.
"Then who are you losing your temper with these days?"
"I'm not losing my temper, brother, I'm just acclimatized."
The prince stared at him with penetrating eyes and said nothing.
The Sixth Prince had no choice but to lower his head and admit: "Say it, brother, please don't".
"What's wrong with you?" The sixth prince tilted his head in confusion.
"It's okayit's okay." Xue Yao said sadly.
What¡¯s wrong with this little fat guy!
During this timedidn¡¯t the palace maid give milk on time?

I followed the prince to Hangzhou, but the grain ship had not yet followed.
This is also Xue Yao's idea. If the rush to collect food has been leaked, it will be even more careless.
On the second day after landing, we officially went to the grain store to explore the road.
This time, Xue Yao was still traveling with the eunuch, and the prince had to wait until the final decision on delivery was made before he came forward.
Just like the trip to Jinling, the group first picked a medium-sized grain store to inquire about the price.
Hearing that there was a big deal to be discussed, the clerk immediately invited the shopkeeper out.
Eunuch Liu still has his usual mature attitude: "My old man, I want to transport a batch of grain to the north. I heard local friends praise the reputation of Gui Grain Store, so I came to visit and want to negotiate a big business with the shopkeeper."
Xue Yao thought about many possibilities. These Zhejiang businessmen might act indifferent and deliberately quote a high price.
But the reality still exceeded his expectation.
"Big business? How much food do you need?" The shopkeeper's attitude was very humble, and he said sincerely in the northern dialect that he was not very proficient in: "What a coincidence, some time ago businessmen from Beijing came to our place to collect food, and now all the food in stock has been ordered. , the inventory is only enough to be sold in bulk until next year. Our grain store is afraid that we will not be able to negotiate other big business this year, and we can only look forward to the patronage of our distinguished customers next year."
Eunuch Liu¡¯s expression changed and he turned to look at Xue Yao in surprise.
Xue Yao also looked at him with the same surprised eyes.
"Are there any other Beijing merchants purchasing grain?" Xue Yao asked.
The shopkeeper answered truthfully: "Yes, I don't know the specifics. The guest officer sounds like a businessman from the capital."
"How much grain did they collect?" Liu Eunuch asked urgently.
The shopkeeper smiled. This was a guest's privacy and could not be disclosed. He could only reply: "Those two merchants from Beijing were in a hurry to collect a large amount of grain. Not only did they patronize our grain store, the owners of some grain stores even sent people to Jiangsu to collect it. A batch of grain is supplied to those two businessmen."
Eunuch Liu suddenly turned pale.
The situation was completely different from what he expected!
If this group of Zhejiang businessmen want to hoard grain and drive up grain prices, that's fine.
If all the food is taken away by others, it will be over!
Last year, many areas suffered from natural disasters. All the harvests in the Huguang area of ??Henan were confiscated by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Only the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas had surplus. It would be terrible if this was also confiscated!
"You just said that the grain was ordered by a merchant from Beijing. In other words, the merchant hasn't paid you the full payment yet?" Eunuch Liu panicked and asked directly.
"Oh" The shopkeeper smiled politely again, because the business has been negotiated and the customer has paid a deposit. He has to keep the specific details of the transaction confidential for the customer. It is inconvenient to talk more, so he just said vaguely: "It has been handed over. Part of it is there, but the cargo ships haven¡¯t arrived yet.¡±
Xue Yao felt that things were completely different from what he imagined. He couldn't get into trouble at this time and had to go back and renegotiate.
However, Eunuch Liu was impatient.
Afraid that the errand assigned by the emperor would fall into his hands, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Eunuch Liu gritted his teeth and said to the shopkeeper: "Why hasn't the cargo ship arrived? I think he doesn't have enough cash and wants to take it first." Goods! Our master brought all the money to Hangzhou to collect grain. Tell me, what price will you give them?"
"Oh." The shopkeeper smiled without concealing it, and made a gesture: "Six hundred and ninety coins per stone."
Eunuch Liu was startled: "What they bought are high-quality grains?"
The shopkeeper returned: "It's middle to lower class."
"What a joke!" Eunuch Liu was so angry that his mouth twisted, and he shouted: "You bought a large amount of medium-sized rice, and you sell it more expensive than the market price? Do you think we are fools?"
The shopkeeper also stood up and said: "To put it in perspective, this transaction is indeed unexpected, and the inventory of our grain store is indeed insufficient. If you still need it next year, you are welcome to patronize me."
"You" Eunuch Liu wanted to ridicule, but was stopped by Xue Yao.
Xue Yao whispered in his ear: "Go back first, father-in-law. This matter is by no means simple. We have to find out before we can act. The more it is like this, the less we can mess up."
Thinking that he couldn't even afford the 570 cash for medium and high-grade grain in Jinling, and now the Zhejiang merchants actually raised the price by more than 100 cash, Eunuch Liu's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he was too embarrassed to talk to Xue Yao anymore. argue.
