After a quick exchange of glances, several sober merchants decided to tell Wang Zhong the truth: "Master Qianhu, we will indeed sell grain at a low price, and we will sell it with great fanfare!"

"Don't give me that. Tell the truth."

"Hehe," a businessman laughed, "There is a limit on the amount of low-priced grain sold every day, and those who can buy low-priced grain are our own people. No matter how the higher-ups investigate, selling grain at low prices is an indisputable fact!"

Wang Zhong sneered in his heart, but pretended to be surprised on his face: "You mean to find someone to help you?"

"Master Qianhu is indeed wise. He immediately saw through my little thoughts!" The businessman began to flatter him.

Having said that, Wang Zhong stopped pretending and said to all the sober people, "I can sell the grain to you. Name your price!"

The businessmen quickly gathered together to discuss in a low voice.

The price of grain in Shaanxi is 2 taels and 8 cents per dan. It is impossible for them to buy Wang Zhong's grain at the price of 2 taels and 8 cents per dan, otherwise there will be no profit.

Don't bid too low either.

Although Wang Zhong was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he was only a captain.

Since they dare to do such a thing, it means they have someone above them, and that person needs to use money to build relationships.

After several discussions, the merchants determined the price for purchasing the grain: two taels and four cents per stone!

Wang Zhong's eyebrows twitched when he heard this number.

This grain was purchased from Fujian, and the total cost was two taels per stone.

The merchant’s purchase price was actually two taels and four cents, and he could earn four cents for every dan of grain.

A total of 80,000 taels were earned from 200,000 shi.

After all, it’s still business that makes money!

Looking at the merchants who had taken the bait, Wang Zhong suppressed his inner excitement and said, "Everyone, it doesn't matter if the price is high or low, I have one more request!"

"Master Qianhu, please speak!"

"I just want silver!"

The merchants looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "No problem! The capital only recognizes silver, and the request of the thousand households is not excessive at all!"
