Of the three largest grain-producing counties in the territory, two are adjacent to the fiefdom of Prince Guanghuai. It is hard to say whether the grain from these two counties can be transported to all parts of the territory as smoothly as before.
The grain output of the three major counties has been supporting the counties that have insufficient grain production. If the grain of two large counties must be used for war first and the surplus grain cannot be transported out normally, the priority of the major national granaries will probably be to stabilize the grain supply and rice prices throughout the territory.
If we want to lower the price of rice in Pyeongchang County, we can't wait for the national granary to release grain, as they might not be able to take care of us. Here, it's just a matter of high and low prices, while in other counties, it's a matter of whether there's enough or not.
We are a major grain-producing county. Previously, the Shi family was solely a grain farmer, never selling rice. Later, we signed a contract with Lord Shang, and our grain went into the newly built temporary state granary, Huai Granary. We also have these grain stores, but our surplus is only used for business within the county. Selling grain to other counties has always been someone else's business.
Judging from the information we have received so far, all companies dealing in rice from other counties have also suspended shipping. It is not known whether this is because they want to wait for the price to go up before selling, or whether Lord Shang has ordered that the rice be stockpiled first.
Although Huai Granary is not one of the several existing large granaries, Your Majesty and Lord Shang originally built it to deal with King Guanghuai.
But the grain in Huai Granary is basically the grain produced by our two neighboring grain counties. It is probably mainly used to supply the army for the war. When the war situation is unclear, Lord Shang will not open Huai Granary to release grain, so the price of rice will not fall in the short term, and I am afraid it will rise. "
Geng Dazhu said, "Then why don't we raise the price a bit? We're just watching other grain stores make crazy profits?"
Sun Yannan said: "When I came back, grandma came to Shili Pavilion and told me to do my best to protect the person.
Even if the price of rice only rises by 10%, it is not a big deal for the rich, but for the common people, especially those who are living in hardship, it is like a mountain pressing down on their heads.
The fire at the city gate affected the innocent people. While there was a war over there, the people here could not eat enough and would starve.
If prices go up by 20%, I'm afraid some people won't be able to afford food. Grandma saved lives during famines, so we can't let anyone starve to death now.
According to the figures reported to me by Xiaonian and Xiaotian, the other four, in various major grain-producing counties, with our master's existing granary, if we stick to this price and make a steady income, selling at 70% of the usual daily sales volume, we can last until the new rice comes in.
As long as the Shi family is a large grain farmer in Pingchang County, they will be charged this rice price for one day.
Moreover, many wealthy families also strongly support the Shi family. The shopkeepers in various counties have reported to me that some local wealthy families consciously avoid going to the Shi family grain store to buy the low-priced rice, and instead buy the high-priced one.
Sun Yannan talked carefully with Geng Dazhui, asking him to fully understand the Shi family's intention as the owner. All the rice shops in the county depend on the county chief, and the daily affairs of the 27 rice shops in the county chief depend on Geng Dazhui. He must understand the Shi family's intention.
