"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Pang Tong didn't dare to disturb him.
He stood aside very respectfully, not daring to say a word.
He didn't even dare to cough loudly, he had to try his best to suppress it, he just didn't want his own existence to interrupt Jiang Chen's thoughts.
"Cough cough!"
"At this moment, the only way is to open our granary first, take out the grain inside to balance the price, and we can't let the price rise any further!"
"As long as we release enough grain, those grain merchants will definitely be afraid, and they will not dare to hoard grain anymore, and the problem of short supply will be solved."
Jiang Chen said to Pang Tong.
"But, my lord, the grain in that granary is all prepared for war!"
"If too much is released this time, it may be bad for us when it comes to war!"
"After all, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first!"
"If there is a problem of grain and grass during the war, it may shake the morale of the army. Is it possible not to use the grain in the granary? The current price is still in a controllable area."
Pang Tongtong said to Jiang Chen with a worried face.
"War matters, there is still a while!"
"The key issue now is to curb the rise in prices!"
"If we don't deal with it now, when the price becomes uncontrollable, it will definitely make us more passive than fighting a war!"
"Because those capitals will be gathered in the hands of those few people again, which is extremely detrimental to the overall development of the country. Therefore, food must be released!"
"Not only that, but some of the country's reserves are released!"
Jiang Chen shook his head and said firmly.
"My lord is right, the old minister will arrange it immediately!"
"It is absolutely impossible to damage the interests of the people, and it is impossible to make those businessmen cheaper!"
"They want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, and the veteran will never watch them succeed."
Pang Tong also understood Jiang Chen's thinking, that is, when the capital shows signs of emergence, they must be suppressed, so that they will not sprout.
Otherwise, if you want to destroy them after they grow up, you will have to pay a huge price.
Those businessmen are playing a money-rolling game. If more and more money is allowed to roll in their hands, it will always be ordinary people who will be hurt.
They are like a magnet, attracting all wealth to their side.
"Well, hurry up and deal with it!"
"Tell Rong'er, let her try not to accept mortgage loans from merchants during this period of time, especially those who hoard goods, and absolutely do not approve!"
"We can't let them lend us money to cause trouble for us!"
"Isn't that lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot?"
Jiang Chen said to Pang Tong.
"Yes, my lord, this subordinate will make arrangements now!"
Pang Tong nodded.
Soon, everyone discovered that the government issued a new announcement!
That is, ordinary people can go to the government's granary to buy grain. The price of grain is the usual price before, which is at least three times cheaper than it is now.
Seeing this news, all the people were ecstatic.
On this day, all the people ran there to line up.
The doorways of those grain stores immediately became deserted and deserted.
However, there are also some businessmen who feel that this is Jiang Chen's trick, and he just wants to deliberately lower them so that they won't be fooled.
They felt that even if Jiang Chen wanted to open a warehouse to release food, how many days would they be able to store it?
When the grain in the granary runs out, they will be able to take the opportunity to increase the price of grain. At that time, they can still take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Some shrewd businessmen even asked their servants, nurses and others to line up in front of the government's granary to buy grain, planning to buy more and stock up.
Take it out when the time is right.
They all knew that Jiang Chen was always very cunning, so they couldn't be fooled by him.
This time, whatever they say, they will do a speculative business.
After the first day, they didn't respond, and even asked people to buy a lot of food.
The next day, they were still asking the family servants and maids to buy food, and even invited those who had nothing to do to line up to buy food for them.
Those who bought food could get a queuing fee of ten cents, which made many rangers join the queuing ranks.
They are idlers who don't want to work, but want to get rich.
Therefore, they are most willing to do such a thing.
You only need to queue up to get so much money, which is enough for them to live a very luxurious day.
On the third day, they were a little anxious
On the fourth day, when they thought that the food in the granary was about to run out, a heartbreaking scene happened. They actually saw a large amount of food brought in from outside the city.
It is estimated that it was transferred from the surrounding granaries. The ruts are very deep, and you can tell that it is real grain at a glance.
Moreover, they also sent people to follow up and found that some of the bags had grains falling out, possibly due to wear and tear, which caused the bags to break and a lot of grains were exposed.
This discovery made those merchants who had been hoarding goods suddenly terrified.
If this continues, the next batch of grain transported from the south of the Yangtze River will arrive in Hanzhong City. At that time, their grain will not be sold.
I don't know if anyone will ask for it, because their food is all old food from last year.
No one is willing to spend the same price to buy last year's grain, and now those merchants are in a hurry.
No, I can't just sit around like this anymore!
If this continues, they will definitely be locked up.
Thinking of this, those grain merchants had no choice but to open warehouses to release grain, hoping to sell the hoarded grain. In order to make a fortune, they had already invested all their wealth in it.
This time, it was a big loss. Although there was money to be made, but the amount they imagined was nothing like cloud and mud.
According to the current trend, if they don't sell the food, they can only keep it for raising mice.
He really didn't expect that this time Jiang Chen actually made them all miserable.
In order to be able to sell the food, they began to collectively lower the price, which was the same as Ye Xingchen's.
"No, boss, their prices have dropped again!"
However, Jiang Chen obviously didn't intend to let them go just like that. After they lowered the price uniformly, Ye Chen also immediately asked Pang Tong to lower the price of grain, directly driving his opponents crazy.
"No, you must follow suit!"
"Otherwise, our food will really become a display!"
"Follow and drop!"
