The capital city, the He family residence.
The grain merchants from Jiangnan also gathered together to discuss what to do.
At this moment, Heshen had lost his temper, and with red eyes, he kept roaring in the hall.
He's like a gambler now, desperately trying to salvage everything he's about to lose.
“We’ve already invested over ten million taels of silver; all of these costs are money.”
“I don’t believe Li Chang’an has so much grain. It must be fake. He must be lying to people.”
"We'll hold on, we'll hold on, we won't be fooled, we absolutely will not lower the price of our grain."
"Believe me, even if you turned the entire Ming Dynasty upside down, you would never find this much grain."
"We must not back down. To succeed, we must first go crazy and charge forward regardless of everything!"
A grain merchant reached out and asked, "Was it transported from Lingnan?"
When Heshen saw him, he looked at him like he was an idiot.
“Lingnan is a desolate place. They don’t even have enough grain to feed themselves every year, so the Ming Dynasty has to send grain there to help them.”
"How could they possibly have any food supplies to send over? Are you crazy? How could you say such a thing?"
Everyone thought about it and realized that this made sense.
However, they still felt some panic and couldn't help but start making their own plans.
As a result, many grain merchants began to hold onto their money and refused to spend any more money to stockpile grain that afternoon.
Some people even started releasing grain in hopes of salvaging some of the losses.
Upon hearing the old servant's report, Heshen was furious.
Then, he slumped back into his chair, as if his bones had been removed, and couldn't help but sigh, "The situation is hopeless!"
Since I and someone else were born, why was Li Chang'an born at all!
However, Heshen always believed that his deduction was correct.
He refused to believe that Li Chang'an actually had grain to sell.
The people of the Marquis's residence have always stayed within the city, and no large-scale caravans have entered from other places.
Where did he get the food?
Thinking of this, Heshen felt a glimmer of hope again, and he decided to take his men tomorrow to expose Li Chang'an's deception.
If this continues, there is still a possibility that grain prices will rise.
After all, this rain won't stop for the rest of the year.
The grain supply in the capital is far from sufficient, so the price of grain will ultimately be determined by them.
What he didn't know was that Li Chang'an was also furious.
Damn it, the grain warehouse is bursting at the seams.
His mind was filled with the absurdity of last night; too much grain had been released, an extra zero had been added, and the granary had burst.
All the guards in the Marquis's mansion were busy repairing the warehouse and moving the grain inside to other rooms.
They moved the grain from one warehouse until late at night, but they still hadn't finished moving it.
Li Chang'an's backpack can only be given out, not received.
Because once it's taken out, it's no longer considered an item by the system.
With no other option, Li Chang'an had to send others directly into the military camp to transport grain to the shops.
This was Yang Wenguang's first time entering a military camp to transport grain. He was dumbfounded when he saw the grain that was as high as a mountain.
He also escorted the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue last year.
The palace has stored one million dan of grain.
A full 100 million catties of grain, piled up into a small mountain, opened his eyes to a whole new world.
Now, compared to the warehouse in front of us, that 100 million jin of grain is nothing, like a small fry compared to a big fish, or a hill compared to a small hill.
There are ten such warehouses in the military camp.
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Hu and ask, "How much grain do you have stored in this warehouse?"
"not much!"
While directing his men to transport the grain, Zhao Hu said, "It's only three billion catties of grain."
"There are three million people in the capital. If each person eats a thousand catties, the city will be completely consumed."
Yang Wenguang was stunned when he heard this.
Ten warehouses, 30 billion jin of grain.
My God, out of the three million people in the capital, each person could get ten thousand catties.
How long will it take to finish eating this?
The next day, the people of the capital went to the grocery stores to buy grain as usual.
Although grain prices have been reduced in various parts of the capital, people still prefer to shop at Pinduoduo's general stores.
After all, they understand why the price of grain has come down.
Rather than doing business with other unscrupulous merchants, it's better to give the money to the Marquis.
At least, the Marquis has the people in his heart.
At eight o'clock, Pinduoduo's convenience store opened its doors.
Pangolin, the shopkeeper, dressed in silk, stood at the door and cupped his hands in greeting to everyone.
He then instructed his men to begin work.
The people lined up as usual to buy grain, but when they looked up, they found that the sign indicating purchase limits was gone.
Several people couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper, can we buy more grain today?"
The pangolin replied with a smile, "Gentlemen, there is no limit to the amount of food you can buy today. Buy as much as you want."
Countless people cheered upon hearing this.
The fact that there is no limit to the quantity that can be purchased means that the Marquis has enough food on hand and no longer has to worry about running out of food.
As the pangolin watched them cheer, it couldn't help but shake its head and smile. It then took out a sign from behind its back and hung it up.
This is the daily price list, and the price of each item is written on it.
All general stores under the Marquis's name must sell their goods at this price.
Otherwise, your dividends will be deducted.
In severe cases, cooperation privileges may be revoked.
Bai Zhantang looked up at the price and couldn't help but exclaim, "My God!"
