Chapter 22: The new version of the super fast growing farm (21)
After listening to these gossips, Ding Yun immediately sent someone to other places to inquire, and then he realized that the relevant news had already spread and caused a lot of controversy.
Many people even discussed it.
Some people sympathize with Jia Mu and think that what she does is reasonable. Every day, she sees that the son she is not born takes the position of the head of the family, but her son can only be a fifth-rank idle official, how can he balance his mind?
Some people think that what Jia Mu did is too unkind. Because the Zhang family was in trouble, they killed the daughter-in-law who had married the Zhang family, which was even more vicious and unkind, and they were too close to interests.
Some people think that Jia She is unfilial. Even if Jia Mother is not his biological mother, she is also a legitimate mother. No matter how excessive the parents do, children should not disobey, let alone expose what their parents do.
Everyone stands on their own.
Enthusiastic discussion.
Those who sympathize with Jia Mu are basically the family mistress.
Those who hate Jia Mu are all daughters-in-law, daughters at home, and those who simply can’t stand others doing evil.
As for what I think Jia She is unfilial.
Of course, they are all old pedantics, and they may even be in a bad position, dancing happily.
In short, one person has one idea, and different people pay different attention to it. Some people pay attention to Jia Mother who harms his daughter-in-law's life, watches his second daughter-in-law kills his eldest grandson, and some people pay attention to Jia She being raised by his grandmother and not being married to his legitimate mother.
There are also those who pay attention to the registered names of the concubine's son.
Ding Yun not only listened to the stories with relish, listened to different people discussing each other, but even had red faces and ears because of different ideas in certain aspects, and was also relished, hoping to come to the scene and participate in the argument in person.
But that's all.
She did not have the idea of seeing Jia She or helping Jia She. No matter how the other party was doing, it had nothing to do with her anyway. It would neither affect her completing the task nor her doing gold finger tests. She was more concerned about her daily life, and that was just that Ding Yun liked to watch the fun.
But she was just happy to watch it.
Not happy to be involved in it.
Outsiders are much more comfortable than those in the game.
...
Let’s talk about those large grain merchants.
After three months of tightly blocking the grain purchase channels, they finally found that what they did seemed to have no effect on the boss behind the so-called affordable grain shop, which still had enough grain to sell outside at a lower price.
This made them very confused and did not know where the affordable grain shops came from, but they had to take the next steps to target the affordable grain shops.
That is, I send someone to rob and burn it.
Send people to investigate the source of food, and send people to investigate who the owner behind the affordable food shop is.
It was not until this time, after the other party did this, that some of the grain transported by Ding Yun was stolen, and even some of the grain storage points in some shops were burned, Ding Yun realized that he seemed to have been targeted.
Although she was robbed and burned, she was not too distressed, but the other party's behavior was undoubtedly targeting her, let alone the damage caused by the other party's actions. If we cannot find a way to stop revenge.
Who dares to work for her in the future?
Besides, she has more food.
That can't stand being robbed and burned.
So after discovering the relevant situation, Ding Yun immediately began to send someone to investigate, and at the same time analyzed it based on the existing information, and also contacted his own connections, and then he could easily draw a conclusion.
I also know who is targeting her.
However, knowing who the other party is does not mean that Ding Yun can easily deal with them. The most important thing is that Ding Yun is not willing to join them.
Follow the unspoken rules of grain merchants they set.
This makes it difficult to reconcile between them.
At the same time, the major grain merchants probably found Ding Yun's body, but only found the shallow surface.
I only know that Ding Yun is a woman from a wealthy family.
And now he has been admitted to the Taoist priest and has a certificate of vassal.
I don't know the others.
The result of knowing each other a little, but not reaching a negotiation is that the battle between them has become more and more serious. Ding Yun directly began to cooperate with the official yamen, asking local government offices to protect them, and transport a large amount of grain to those places where famine occurred.
Don't sell, donate directly, and provide relief directly.
Donate as much as you lack.
If it is really not enough, reduce the supply of grain shops that have stabilized and have no famine.
In addition, all the land on the farm is converted into wheat and rice, and no other planting is available.
Ding Yun transported grain to other places. Those grain merchants may have dared to rob the burn without any bottom line, but transported it to the disaster area and donated the grain to the yamen for free directly. They really didn't have the courage to do this, because robbing the grain of an ordinary merchant is a completely different concept of robbing the grain of a burning businessman and robbing the grain of a donated to the yamen.
Grab things from the yamen.
So what's the difference between direct rebellion?
After Ding Yun made this happen, their operations in the famine-related areas were naturally even more impossible. In addition, local officials from all over the country were a little dissatisfied with them and admired Ding Yun very much.
There are even some regional local officials who are particularly prone to various natural disasters, but have not yet occurred, and have begun to enthusiastically invite Ding Yun to spread affordable grain to them. In this way, if there is a disaster in their future, they can provide timely relief.
Maintain their relatively good political performance evaluation.
For this reason, they even did not hesitate to assure Ding Yun.
It will definitely protect the safety of affordable grain shops.
Never destroy anyone.
People can also be sent to protect the food transportation route.
Ding Yun also refused these enthusiastic invitations. Anyone who is willing to invite or protect them will go to the place first. At this point, although it cannot be considered a complete breakthrough.
But at least there was a tough counterattack.
However, Ding Yun was not satisfied with this.
Because she knew very well that the current situation was that she was willing to spend all her money and food. In fact, the other party’s losses were not particularly large, so after completing the previous operations, she quickly contacted officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War through her own connections.
And expressed willingness to be at a very low price.
Provide food to soldiers stationed in various places.
She didn't look for those greedy officials, all of whom were young, had never been cold, and had not become the ones they had originally hated.
So the relevant news finally reached Shengting directly.
Delivered to the current emperor's table.
Even Ding Yun was summoned because of this.
Afterwards, Ding Yun successfully obtained the imperial merchant qualifications of grain merchants, and the price she paid was to supply all the troops all over the world at a price that was half lower than the normal grain sales price on the market, which was similar to the price of many grain merchants going to the countryside to purchase grain. At most, it was a price of one or two cents and one stone higher.
How much food can ordinary people buy, not to mention that there are also their own landlords and grain merchants in various places. Generally speaking, if there are no natural disasters or other things happening.
There is no need for foreign grain merchants to sell grain.
There are only two channels that can really take out food in large quantities. One is a large city with land output near large cities that cannot support so many people. The other is a real big deal, which is to sell grain to the Ministry of War and sell grain to soldiers stationed in all parts of the country.
In order to give those soldiers enough food to eat.
The Ministry of Revenue allocates millions of taels of silver every year.
In order to make grain merchants willing to transport grain.
The Ministry of Revenue even had to take out a large amount of salt to serve as a temptation to indicate that they would be willing to give them how much salt to the border.
Therefore, the families where those large grain traders are located basically take into account the salt traders' business while selling grain. Compared to the little money earned by selling grain, the real huge profit is actually the money they earn by selling salt.
The grain merchants’ business is just for finding ways to obtain enough food and during famines.
It is just a means of annexation of land.
Making money is actually second to them. The most important thing is that they can control the price of grain. This is the means and purpose of those big families, and it is also the main reason why those big families do not allow others to break the rules of their grain business community. This is not only breaking the rules, but also destroying their monopoly pricing power.
Monopoly pricing power is not only their amulet.
It was even more so when they were in troubled times.
It is used to stabilize people's hearts and even choose the Qianlong support they recognize, and to fight for the world.
And what Ding Yun does now.
It is undoubtedly just cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
Not only do they snatch their biggest deal, but they also directly break their monopoly pricing power.
Chapter completed!
