Chapter 18 It wasn't me who killed them, it was greed(2/2)

Yu Wenhua and said with a wry smile: "They have all the families, and tenants, let them exchange people for money!"

The migration and resettlement fee is to avoid the people who migrate outside the pass, so as not to have no food and clothing. If the migration path is full of flesh and blood, this is not what Chen Ying is willing to see.

The migration arrangement fee of each household is a tax-deduction method, which is paid from Tongli Money House. Of course, all of them are money, which does not hinder circulation.

At this time, the average population of one household was four. In fact, there were a little more than one million households in Guanzhong, and it was planned to migrate out 330,000 households.

Of course, the Guanzhong nobles have large households, and there are many. Take the Wei family as an example. The Wei family has more than 8,000 households and more than 10,000 slaves.

Yu Wenji's method is actually not a solution. Just drink the dove to quench thirst. If the major families can raise 20,000 yuan, they can get 200,000 yuan from the court. These families of major aristocratic families will carry food on the road, so they will not have to starve to death.

...

Since the food famine, grain merchants in Chang'an have cut off their food supply. They rely entirely on Chang'an's warehouses to close their warehouses and sell their food.

On June 27th, more than 60 grain stores appeared in Chang'an City at one time.

These grain stores are listed for sale.

"A dou of wheat with sixty coins!"

"A dou of eighty rice!"

"Seventy-five cents per dou!"

“Never limited!”

Soon there was a long queue at the entrance of these grain stores.

Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying dressed up as ordinary people and followed the crowd.

At the beginning, because the price of the grain market is slightly lower than the price of Changping for sale, it has attracted people to rush to grab it.

Theirs bought one stone, while some pushed deer carts and bought three or four stones.

But more are those who are capable and dressed in new clothes. The food they buy is larger, the most are more than ten stones, and the fewer are five or six stones.

There was a boy and a girl in front of Li Jiancheng. She looked not old last year, and both of them were pale and thin. They stuttered in front of the food shop staff: "Can you give me a pound of chestnut?"

The guy said: "Five big money!"

The boy said with a sad face: "We have no money!"

The guy was so stern: "If you don't have money, get out of here and go back to get the money!"

The girl cried with a sad look on her face and said, "We have no money at home!"

Although this food war could make Chen Ying a big profit, the hardships were still ordinary people. Thanks to Chen Ying opening too many workshops in Chang'an City, and the workshops built by the imperial court, the people could do odd jobs during the slack farming period and earn three or five jin of money every year.

Otherwise, even the price of 50 yuan for rice is generally unaffordable.

Chen Ying took out a banknote from his arms, even if the smallest denomination is always the same.

"Thank you...My husband rewards you, little... The villain bought a pound of rice and came back. Ah sister, kowtow to your benefactor again!"

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "When will this situation end?"

Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "It's almost done!"

The price of grain rises very quickly, but the decline is also faster.

From the highest peak, the price is ninety yuan per day.

It took only four days to drop from ninety cents to fifty cents.

The grain traders in Guanzhong have been watching and hope that the government’s grain can be sold.

But they were disappointed, and the food in the government seemed to have no end.

The prices of grain are falling rapidly, and Guanzhong grain merchants have no money to sit in the empty grain market. They have to watch the people buy a large amount of grain at a price of fifty dollars per dou.

On the first day of July alone, no less than 200,000 stones of grain were sold in the Guancang of Chang'an and the grain shop in the city.

On the second day of July, grain continued to fall for five consecutive days, and this time the decline was relatively large, and it directly reduced another twenty yuan from the original basis.

Thirty coins per bucket!

This also means that the grain originally worth more than 4 million guan in Guanzhong Food and Commerce Group shrank by two-thirds in just five days.

Qian Changgeng couldn't stand him anymore.

He was originally a shopkeeper of the Yuan family, responsible for the management of grain and farms. Over the years, he was also a wealthy man with a wealth of wealth.

He originally wanted all the major families in Guanzhong to join forces to short the grain market. He could also make a big profit from it. He pledged his house and land and borrowed 4,000 guan, plus his own 6,000 guan, a total of 10,000 guan. At the peak of 80 guan, he privately purchased 12,500 guan, ready to make a big profit.

However, in just a few days, his wealth was less than 4,000.

Heavy losses and lost all his money.

Qian Changgeng couldn't stand it anymore and the grain market collapsed. With Yuan's mean nature, he must have taken the blame.

Thinking of this, Qian Changgeng immediately poisoned himself.

The whole family of thirty-seven people, none of whom were spared, were all poisoned and died.

Qian Changgeng is not the complete example of the accident, nor is it even the first one.

With the collapse of grain prices, more and more merchants who are dressed in bright clothes and have big ears will either hang themselves, wipe their necks, hit the walls, or jump off buildings.

Li Xiuning followed the news and said with some difficulty: "It's so miserable... it's so miserable!"

While calculating the accounts, Chen Ying smiled and said, "It's better for a family to cry than cry all the way, not to mention that it's not me who killed them, but their greed!"
