Chapter 406: A wealthy family who cherishes feathers
"What to do? What to do now?"
"I won't sell eleven months yesterday, and today the 10-month Royal Chamber of Commerce will not collect it. We have stocked up so much food. What if we continue to drop it, what should we do?"
"This damn Jiang Chen, he sincerely won't give us a way out!"
Jiang Zhiqi, Wang Zhonghe, Wei Bozou and others were so anxious that their mouths burst into bubbles.
In a panic, several people came to Cai Tao directly. After all, Cai Tao and Cai Jing and his son encouraged them to do this, and they believed that Cai Jing and his son should be responsible.
After Cai Tao dealt with them and encouraged Wang Zhongkui to continue to persevere, he came to Cai Jing's study.
First, he explained what Wang Zhonglu and others meant, and then said, "Father, Jiang Chen is crazy, we can't be foolish! You know, the food we collected is not counted as freight or consumption, but it's 12 cents per liter. If you sell it, you will lose a lot!"
Cai Jing shook his head calmly and said, "At this point, do you still have the heart to worry about profits and losses? Remember, as long as Jian is in the Emperor's heart, what you lose today can be earned ten or a hundred times the time in the future.
Besides, why should our Cai family care about this little money? You need to take a long-term view!"
"But, but what if Jiang Chen continues to lower the price tomorrow, what should we do? Are we going crazy with him? Isn't this equivalent to helping him? How can I be content?"
Cai Tao looked unwilling and muttered with some annoyance: "If I had known, I would have heard my father's words yesterday and I would have sold them to him."
"hehe."
Cai Jing looked at his favorite son and smiled: "Everything in life is between gains and losses. Sometimes a step back may not be a vast sky."
After pausing, he tasted the tea and said, "The official family stayed alone after the small court meeting today, and admitted that the price of grain will not only continue to drop, but will also be sold nationwide with the promotion and pilot of Yuqing Villa..."
"What? Sold nationwide? Is Jiang Chen going to be an enemy of landlords and gentry all over the world?"
Cai Tao exclaimed in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"You underestimate him!"
Cai Jing shook his head and explained: "He wanted the landlords and gentry to give up their obsession with land and become offline members of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. He would use business channels, such as spinning mills, to make up for the losses of those people! Of course, it also includes our Cai family!"
"Give up your attachment to land?"
Cai Tao was stunned, then said incredible: "Father, are you saying that Jiang Chen's fundamental purpose is land? Want to prevent land mergers by suppressing grain prices and developing offline members? Expand business channels?"
"Well, the official told me that the first condition for becoming an offline member of the Royal Chamber of Commerce is to accept the re-measurement of land.
This little treacherous is really…”
Cai Jing wanted to praise Jiang Chen for a few words, but he held it back with a grudge. After shaking his head with a wry smile, he said to Cai Tao: "In addition, you have asked me to stock up on how much food you have stocked up. The official told me today."
"Ah? He really knows everything in the official family?" Cai Tao was so scared that he immediately burst into cold sweat.
"Don't panic! Since the official is willing to inform me, he will not pursue it again.
Of course, the purpose of the official family is to let the father agree to preside over the remeasure of the land."
As Cai Jing spoke, he glanced at his son with a funny look.
"Did you agree to the father? This is a chore that offends people!" Cai Tao frowned.
"Your life is held by the official family. Do you dare not agree to it for your father?"
Cai Jing glared at Cai Tao and said with a mocking look on his face: "However, after careful consideration for your father, this is not a bad thing. If Jiang Chen could comfort the landlords and gentry, he would have received this credit for his father!
If he causes any trouble, he will have his own way to deal with it as a father.
No matter what the situation is, as long as this matter continues to be carried out, I don’t have to worry about being implicated by that waste Zhu Jie!”
"The father is wise! The child knows what to do!"
Cai Tao gave a gift with relief, and after going out, he asked the Cai family's grain store to sell grain at a lower price.
...
The news spread quickly.
When Wang Zhonglu, Jiang Zhiqi and Wei Bozou learned about it, they became depressed!
"What does Cai Xiang and Lord Cai mean?"
"They were the ones who asked us to stock up on food at the beginning, and now they were the first ones to surrender. How could they do this?"
"What should we do with our Wei family? I have replaced all my belongings for food!"
"Who isn't!"
"Oh! What a frustrating mom!"
Wei Bozou, Jiang Zhiqi and Wang Zhongqi were full of resentment and almost vomited blood.
...
However, after Han Xiaozhou, Chen Zixi and others sold the grain to the family of the Royal Chamber of Commerce for eleven cents yesterday, they were all extremely lucky and their resentment towards Jiang Chen was eliminated a lot.
Even their sons Han Zizhi and Chen Song laughed: "Everyone praised Jiang Chen for being unparalleled in intelligence. I don't think he is a fool! Yesterday, he collected our food for eleven pennies, but today he was sold for 10 pennies. Is it because his brain was kicked by a donkey?"
"Stop, ignorant child!"
Han Xiaozhou glared at them and said in anger: "The food in Jiang Chen's hands had been sold out at fifteen or fourteen.
It means that we have collected his grain at a high price and sold it back to him at a low price. Do you think he may lose money? You are still too students, and you can't even see these basic tricks clearly!"
"If you want me to see, you must have been blinded by the hatred created by those who are in Confucianism!
As long as Jiang Chen sticks to his promise and allows us to continue to participate in various businesses of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, we can make up for the losses in food ten or a hundred times in the business.
What does it have to do with us whether the price of grain rises or falls? What's the point of whether the Kong family is rising or falling? Don't be used as a gun again!"
Chen Zixi frowned in displeasure and said in a stern tone: "You have been thinking about me at home recently. I have not told me to go out unless I told my cousin and I to not go out, nor to participate in the dispute over Confucianism again! Otherwise, be careful to interrupt your dog's legs!"
Um-
Chen Song and Han Zizhi were immediately stunned when they heard this.
After looking at each other, Chen Song raised his neck and said, "We, Han and Chen, have been from Confucian families for generations. How can we watch the master sect be humiliated and watch coldly? What's the difference between betraying the master sect?"
"That's it! How do other fellow disciples view us? How can we call ourselves Confucian disciples in the future?" Han Zizhi expressed dissatisfaction with righteousness.
"Are you two stupid to study? The Kong family's reputation in Bianjing is so bad, so you still have to come forward? What is the attitude of the official family? Can't you see?"
Chen Zixi was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "Come here, lock up these two evil deeds for me. No one can let them out of the house unless I ordered them!"
"Sir, (uncle), are you here really?"
Han Zizhi and Chen Song were furious.
