Chapter 467: Shopkeeper Jin is finished
Fan Yuexi held the bag of money and felt a lump in her throat.
As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome this difficult time.
Once the flood control is successful, everyone will be able to live a good life and no longer have to endure the cold, hunger, and displacement.
Jin family.
"Master, as far as I know, Fan Yuexi doesn't have much food left." The servant replied.
A smile appeared on Mr. Jin's lips.
The woman from the Shen family is also stupid. She didn't sell the food to him, but gave it to the victims.
Mr. Jin holds a grudge. This woman is going against him. From now on, the rice business in Yizhou will have no share for the woman from the Shen family.
But so what?
The Shen family's food supply can only last for a few days, and the entire Yizhou's food supply is controlled by him.
Fan Yuexi still had to come and beg him.
Mr. Jin guessed that Fan Yuexi would come to him for help soon.
"If Fan Yuexi comes to see me, tell her I'm not here and ask her to wait for a day or two. It's urgent for her." said the shopkeeper Jin.
"Yes, sir."
"Master, something bad has happened!" At this moment, a man rushed in and shouted.
"What's wrong? I, your master, am fine!" Master Jin said unhappily.
"Master, food, plenty of food!" the man gasped.
"What food?" Master Jin frowned.
"A lot of food was transported into the city, supposedly for the disaster victims."
How could there be food?
All the food in Yizhou is in the hands of him and a few of his friends!
Shopkeeper Jin didn't believe it.
"You must have seen it wrong?" said Mr. Jin.
"They all say it's food. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself," said the servant.
This is related to the Jin family's business. Whether it is true or false, Mr. Jin has to go and take a look.
Mr. Jin hurried out and headed towards the Chunmian Villa.
The huge team transporting food just arrived at the gate of the villa.
The person leading the group was Tang Li.
Master Jin looked at the carriages and bags.
If it is really rice, there will be fifty or sixty carts with at least a thousand bags of grain!
impossible!
Master Jin rushed over.
Tangli also noticed Master Jin.
"Isn't this Master Jin? Master Jin, you've arrived just in time. Could you please help me take a look at the quality of our grain?"
Tang Li deliberately opened a bag and let Master Jin see it.
Master Jin widened his eyes. It was really food!
And it is high-quality food!
Master Jin pounced on them and touched each car one by one, and all he found was rice!
It's all rice!
Where does this rice come from?
"Master Jin, this is rice from Liangzhou." Tang Li saw Master Jin's confusion and kindly told him, his eyes suddenly turning cold. "Master Jin, you have a monopoly on rice in Yizhou, can you monopolize rice in the entire Great Zhou?"
Rice from Liangzhou?
He is actually from Liangzhou!
How did they find the rice merchants in Liangzhou?
Mr. Jin sat down on the ground, feeling cold all over.
Tang Li was in a very good mood as he looked at Mr. Jin, who had been so arrogant a few days ago and now looked so depressed and desperate.
This is called——
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end!
Those who do evil will eventually perish!
Fan Yuexi also ran to the door, and when she saw the rice being carried in, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
All the food in the warehouse had been eaten up, and she had no choice but to go to Jin An to buy more food.
Tangli really found the food and did it.
Very good!
Fan Yuexi rushed to Tang Li and hugged her tightly.
Tangli felt his neck was wet. The girl was crying.
In fact, one can imagine how worried and stressed this girl has been these days.
Thank you for your hard work.
"Okay, we've found food, the problem is solved, and no one will go hungry anymore." Tang Li comforted softly.
Fan Yuexi sniffed, her voice a little hoarse as she cried.
"Um."
Fan Yuexi let Tangli go.
"This food is..."
"It was sent by Mr. Zhou, a grain merchant from Liangzhou..." Tang Li introduced Mr. Zhou to Fan Yuexi.
A grain merchant from Liangzhou?
In such a short time, Tangli actually found a grain merchant from Liangzhou?!
In fact, Fan Yuexi also wanted to find grain merchants in Liangzhou, but even if he found a small grain merchant, the small grain merchant had less grain, and it was not cost-effective to transport it to Yizhou. They didn't know the big grain merchants, so they couldn't get in touch with them.
Tangli is so amazing!
"Master Zhou, please come in."
Tang Li and Fan Yuexi invited Mr. Zhou in, and the three of them discussed the cooperation in detail.
"The price of grain in Liangzhou is eighty wen per dou, plus the transportation fee, so the selling price is ninety wen per dou. How about it?" said Mr. Zhou.
Tang Li and Fan Yuexi looked at each other and were both happy.
Before Jin'an raised the price of grain, the price of grain in Hegu County was already one hundred wen per dou, so the current price of ninety wen per dou is even cheaper than the original price!
"Very good!" Fan Yuexi said, "Thank you, Master Zhou. Master Zhou, you are truly our benefactor."
"Miss Fan, don't make me sound so great. I can make money from business," Mr. Zhou said with a smile. "Besides, Miss Fan's efforts in providing relief to disaster victims truly earn my respect. She's truly a heroine."
Fan Yuexi felt embarrassed by Mr. Zhou's praise.
Mr. Zhou looked at Tang Li and said, "I heard that the imperial envoy in charge of flood control this time is Miss Gu's husband. I have something else I would like to ask Miss Gu for help with."
After all, Yizhou and Liangzhou are two counties. When he came to Yizhou for business, he was worried that the local government would make things difficult for him, so he wanted the imperial envoy to issue a pass to facilitate his business.
Tangli agreed readily.
"Mr. Zhou, we have business not only in Hegu County, but also in other places." Tang Li said.
Jin An and others raised the price of food, making life difficult for the people.
If Mr. Zhou could establish his business in Yizhou, he would be able to lower the price of grain and make life easier for the people.
"Thank you, Miss Gu, for the reminder." said Mr. Zhou.
This was agreed upon by both parties.
When Fan Yuexi returned home, she told Mr. Fan the good news.
"That's great, God has eyes." Mr. Fan said with emotion.
"Dad, it's Madam Wu who is amazing." Fan Yuexi said.
"Yes, the Imperial Envoy and his wife are the saviors of our Yizhou!"
Naturally, this matter also reached the ears of Shopkeeper Shen.
Shopkeeper Shen thought of that day, and the girl's confident look, it seemed that she was not bragging, but was really capable.
The next day, Tangli came to see her.
"Thank you, Manager Shen, for the food. It solved our urgent problem." Tang Li said.
"You're welcome. It's just a bet. You win." Shopkeeper Shen said.
"Shopkeeper Shen, can I introduce someone to you?" Tang Li asked.
Tangli introduced Mr. Zhou to Shopkeeper Shen.
For Shopkeeper Shen, this is a network of connections, worth more than a thousand taels of silver!
She sowed good seeds and eventually reaped good fruits.
As for Mr. Jin, the hard times have just begun.
In order to stockpile food, he and a few friends bought most of the food at high prices.
Now that food is cheaper, naturally no one is interested in the food he stockpiled.
He originally wanted to make a fortune during this period, but now this idea has been completely shattered.
