Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 291 Killing two birds with one stone

"What is Fang Jing doing?" Qin Moshi put down the brush in his hand and asked a hundred households of martial arts guards.

"Master Fang seems to have gone out of the city." The hundred households respectfully said, "It is said that the price of food in the city has skyrocketed, and Lord Fang may not be able to afford it."

"Understood, you go down." Qin Moshi waved him to go down.

When the hundred households went down, the corners of Qin Moshi's mouth twitched slightly.

He was laughing at Fang Jing, mocking Fang Jing for being too naive.

Fang Jing must go out of the city to buy food and grass in the surrounding counties, but he will be disappointed, because even if the food and grass in the surrounding counties are cheaper than Luoyang, it is not much cheaper.

It is absolutely no problem to buy 600 million shi for 100 million taels, and it will be much cheaper if the quantity is large

But now the quantity is too large to kill.

Wanting to buy 600 million shi with 100 million taels is just a dream.

Fang Jing is now on the next task, if he can't complete it, it will be a serious crime.

At that time, the Fang family business will be over, and the First Prince will be able to take over the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

With the financial support of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, the First Prince's power will be greatly improved.

He can basically conclude that Fang Jing can't complete the task. Even if the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce is rich, the price of food around Luoyang is not something they can afford.

At that time, the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce will probably part ways with Fang's firm.

But two days later, Qin Moshi received news from Mingzhou Mansion, which surprised him.

The news is that the new town governor of Mingzhou Prefecture and other four prefectures, that is, the town governor who also serves as the governor of thousands of households in Mingzhou Prefecture, explained that the State Chamber of Commerce has recently purchased grain in Jiangnan East County.

After getting the news, Qin Moshi immediately rushed to the First Prince's residence.

The eldest prince didn't see it, but what he saw was Yang Bailue, the eldest prince's trusted subordinate, who was the first counselor of the eldest prince.

In the past, he was the one who took care of the eldest prince's affairs.

After listening to Qin Moshi's words, Yang Bailue smiled lightly and said, "Lord Qin, don't worry."

"Mr. Yang, this matter has to be urgent." Qin Moshi shook his head and said, "It's easy for that kid to buy grain in Jiangnan Dongjun for 100 million shi."

"So what if I bought 100 million stones?" Yang Bailue opened the folding fan in his hand with a 'shua' and smiled.

Qin Moshi knew that although the guy in front of him didn't know martial arts and had a pockmarked face, he was as ugly as he could be, but the trick was really powerful.

The First Prince's power has grown rapidly over the years, and this person deserves the greatest credit.

He is a person who speaks for himself on the side of the eldest prince, and he has to be respectful in front of him.

"Also ask Mr. Yang for advice."

"Time limit." Yang Bailue smiled.

Hearing this, Qin Moshi slapped his head and said, "Oh, why did I forget this? Yes, in two months, it is difficult to transport 100 million stones of grain and grass to the North Camp~~ Tsk tsk tsk~~~"

"I think they definitely want to take the canal."

"The canal?" Qin Moshi's face darkened, "Mr. Yang, if that's the case, if Fang Jing doesn't care about the price, he can go a lot faster. Maybe he can deliver the food and grass in time."

"There are thousands of miles of canals, it's not easy to do something?" Yang Bailue laughed and said, "It doesn't mean that all their food and grass will be destroyed, as long as they can't move forward and delay the deadline, Fang Jing that boy I can’t afford to suffer, why don’t we obediently buy grain and grass in Luoyang and nearby?”

"That's right. In fact, you don't need to directly deal with their food and grass. You only need to sink a few ships in a few narrow river sections, and Fang Jing's fleet can be delayed for several days." Qin Moshi also laughed.

"That's right." Yang Bailue nodded and said, "It seems that the kid is still too tender, and this matter must be kept secret. If the news leaks, he will not be able to deliver the food in time. This time, Fang has to give up on the food. The firm paid a huge price, and they must pay the money."

Qin Moshi laughed twice.

He knew that the grain merchants near Luoyang had teamed up this time, and this guy in front of him was threading the needle.

Can earn several times the usual profit, how can those people not agree?

Even some people who usually have no friendship with the eldest prince have become enthusiastic.

This is a feast. If everyone joins hands to kill a pig, the Fang family business will be a fat pig. Even if there are so many people sharing it, each family can get a lot of benefits.

Qin Moshi knew that after this incident, the First Prince would be able to win over a lot of people's hearts and expand his influence a lot.

The money earned here by the two princes must be the big ones, and they can gather a lot of forces to join them.

And all of these are the means of the old guy in front of him, only with such ability can he become the real confidant of the First Prince.

"Mr. Yang, leave this matter to me." Qin Moshi said.

"No need." Yang Bailue raised his hand and said, "The old man heard that Yao Xumang was getting close to this kid, and I believe he intervened. If you make a move again, you will definitely give someone a handle, which is not right."

"So that's how it is." Qin Moshi said in a daze, "No wonder Yao Xumang's subordinates left the city two days ago. At that time, I heard that they were heading south. I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that they should go Escort Fang Jing's fleet?"

"Yao Xumang wanted to pull Fang Jing to his side, and it took some thought, but unfortunately, this matter can't be done." Yang Bailue smiled, "Master Qin, you just need to keep an eye on Fang Jing." Of course, pay more attention to the news on the other side of the canal, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.”

"Yes, I understand." Qin Moshi said respectfully.

He knew that Yang Bailue must have sent someone to make the move.

Qin Moshi paid more attention to Fang Jing's whereabouts.

Every time I heard the news, Fang Jing kept running around the prefectures and counties around Luoyang, bargaining with those grain merchants.

Qin Moshi sneered in his heart.

If I hadn't gotten the news a long time ago, I would have been fooled by this kid.

Who would have thought that this kid was brave enough to raise food and grass from Jiangnan Dongjun.

Transporting food from such a far place is full of variables, even if the eldest prince does not take action, there will be accidents on the way at any time.

Qin Moshi knew the inside story, but the other people who commanded the yamen didn't know.

They still had some sympathy for what happened to Fang Jing.

But just to sympathize, no one dares to come forward in this kind of thing.

This is designated by the imperial decree above, who dares to speak nonsense?

In their view, Fang Jing was finished, and the Fang family business was about to collapse.

Who those grain merchants are, they still know more or less.

Taking advantage of this time, they naturally opened their mouths like a lion.

In order to complete the errand assigned by the imperial court, Fang Jing could only admit it in the end, even if he lost all his wealth, he had to buy 100 million shi, otherwise it would be a serious crime of copying the family.

"Sure enough, it's a river transport." Qin Moshi looked at the information in his hand and chuckled, "As expected of Fang's business, rich and powerful, more than 500 boats, dragged by trackers, almost all the boats in Hangzhou are rented by him, Tsk tsk tsk~~"
