He Tongyuan had also finished organizing the auction results and, with the documents in hand, went to the private room on the second floor to meet Li Xin.

"Your Highness, you have reaped a great harvest!"

As soon as he entered, He Tongyuan said with a smile, "I just calculated that the total amount of grain obtained from this auction is 1.73 million shi."

That's enough for everyone in Dongning to live on for a year!

"That's about it!"

Li Xin smiled and nodded, saying, "From now on, we won't have to worry about food anymore."

"We shouldn't be worried; it's these merchants who should be!"

Zhao Bingzhang frowned and said, "With so much grain, I wonder how many places they will have to buy it to accumulate enough."

"If there were a big grain merchant now, hoarding grain, he could make a fortune!"

"That's a great idea!"

He Tongyuan nodded and said, "Your Highness, why don't we have Qingyu Trading Company and Sunji Trading Company sell some of the grain they purchased in Southeast Asia and other places?"

"By transferring money from one hand to the other, we can make a lot of money!"

"That's enough!"

Li Xin shook his head slightly and said, "We still need to ensure the food supply for the soldiers on the front line and the people of Dongning."

If you have enough, you can sell some.

It's estimated that food prices in Southeast Asia and the West will skyrocket soon!

Li Xin never expected that his actions would cause fluctuations in grain prices in other regions!

In the future, perhaps we can wage an economic war!
