Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 144 Chapter 144
The grain merchant is not stupid. His long-term trading experience with Yuanshan Town made him understand the influence of the old mayor on Yuanshan Town.

As long as the old mayor expresses his attitude, more than [-]% of the people in the town will obey the old mayor's attitude, and the remaining [-]% are people who really have no spare money and cannot afford food.

The old mayor nodded, "We must live up to the sincerity of the caravan."

As much sincerity as the caravan has, Yuanshan Town has some sincerity.

Yuan Dang, the person in charge of the Yuan family caravan, bid farewell to the old mayor, his expression changed as soon as he left the house, and he ordered his men to go down to find out more information.

The subordinates were puzzled, "Didn't you send someone to inquire before? Didn't the mayor also negotiate here? Why do you want to inquire about the news?"

Yuan Dang said: "The attitude of the mayor shows that he has a strong support and is not afraid of offending us. However, the small caravan that we heard about from some corner of the mountain did not have this ability. There must be other strange things in the town. You go and find out first. Don't let go of any news."

So the subordinates scattered a wave of food in the town again, and found out a lot of news, including the mayor and Muyu.

The subordinates reported the news to Yuan Dang, Yuan Dang thought for a while, and then suddenly realized,
"That's the way it is. I said, why is the grain sold by Muyu so expensive? Only some people can afford it. Most people must still be hungry. Someone should buy our inferior grain.

But no, it turned out to be like this.

It's not uncommon to make money by accepting women, but it's rare to not pick anything.

It's not like marrying a daughter-in-law, but I can't guess what the purpose is for a while, so pay more attention, and I will see them when they arrive.

Now, let's meet the mayor's other grain merchant friends. "

Yes, during the dry years, not only the Yuan family's grain merchants were selling grain in Yuanshan Town, but there were other grain merchants as well.

It's just that those scales are far worse than Yuan's family, and they are far less profound than Yuan's family. As the disaster and time go by, most of them can't protect themselves, let alone help Yuanshan Town provide food.

For example, the grain merchants in Huangsha City were wiped out.

However, there are always some small grain merchants, and there are merchants wherever there is interest.

The old town mayor has won over a group of small grain merchants. These merchants provide a certain amount of grain to Yuanshan Town on a regular basis. Caravans used to provide as much as half of that every month.

With the food provided by these grain merchants, plus the food provided by Muyu of Nashan Village who popped up recently, even without the Yuanjia caravan, Yuanshan Town can continue to operate.

Yuan Dang felt threatened by these peers.

The drought year is coming to an end, and the profiteering period of the grain business is only this year at most, and this year is definitely not as good as in previous years.

Although the rain came late, the harvest was poor, but in the end there was a harvest, which would definitely affect their business.

This is impossible, but there is still a solution to peer competition.

Yuan Dang intends to settle this matter first, and then go to meet Mu Yu after this matter is resolved.

However, coincidentally, Mu Yu had already arrived in the town that day, but he arrived later than the person who inquired about the news, so he was not noticed.

……

When Mu Yu and his party arrived in town, they first went to Li's Inn.

Because of what she had done in the town before, the guys and guests at Li's Inn were more friendly to her. As soon as she arrived, someone approached her and wanted to sell her news.

She has never been stingy about money in this kind of thing, not to mention that this person only needs five catties of grain.

So she got all kinds of news about the grain merchants from the Yuan family from the south, including the detailed information about what kind of food Yuandang, the person in charge of the grain merchant, likes to eat. The five catties of grain are worth the money. .

As soon as Mu Yu digested the news, Sun San came over and told her the same.

"The members of the Yuan family caravan raised the price of food earlier, but no one bought it, and today they changed it back in despair.

I have dealt with Yuandang in the early years, and he is a businessman with means and scheming. This time he suffered such a secret loss, I am afraid that he will not just swallow it. "

Mu Yu thought for a while, "Let's put this matter aside for now, how about the thing I asked you to do last time?"

Sun San came back to his senses, raised his face, and there was a bit of pride on his face, "It's all done."

Mu Yu knew it was done just by looking at his expression.

Originally, they planned to wait for other matters to be dealt with before doing this, but a southern grain merchant who might target them came out halfway, and some things had to be reconsidered.

"Take us to have a look, you can check in directly after paying the money."

"of course."

"Let's go then."

So not long after the group unloaded their things, they packed them back up and prepared to leave. Fortunately, Li's Inn is well-known for its reputation, and all the accommodation money they just paid for a few days ago was refunded except for today.

Sun San took Mu Yu and his party to a second-class mansion not far away.

Although it looks desolate and old, but if you look closely, you can still see the splendor of the past. Some knowledgeable villagers in the same company said that the house was made of good materials, and it was solid and reliable.

Sun San was still introducing her to the house, saying that although all the valuables in it were almost sold out, there was still everything that should be there, and she could live in it at any time.

Mu Yu was very satisfied, and asked casually, "Whose house is this?"

Sun San smiled wryly, "My family."

It's such a sad story.

Mu Yu told his companions to settle down here in the familiar house, and then handed over the [-]-jin cartload of grain to Sun San.

"This car is about [-] catties, you can see if it's enough."

Sun San's face was full of joy, "Enough, of course it is enough."

This time Mu Yu asked for those house and shop properties, and his family has ones that meet the requirements.

Although it has rained a few times now and the grain that has been planted is about to be harvested, anyone with a discerning eye knows that until this time next year, they will still have to rely on buying grain to survive, at least most of it.

As for whether to buy after next year, it depends on how the rain will fall next year.

In short, a lot of food is needed.

Needless to say, the little property left in the family had to be sold to exchange for food.

Originally, according to the calculation of those unscrupulous people in the town, he estimated that there would be nothing left in the end. At this time, Mu Yu proposed to buy property.

In particular, Mu Yu's price was [-]% higher than the price in the town, and he was given a [-]% commission. Calculated in this way, he can at least keep one-third of the property in the end.

Moreover, he had a hunch that if he continued to help Mu Yu, his income would be considerable in the future, and in the end, more than one-third of the property would be left behind.

From Sun San, Mu Yu obtained a contract for two houses, one large and one small, two shops, and thirty mu of land. After delivering a cart of seven hundred catties of grain, he sent someone to pull another cart of grain. Come here, and prepare to wait to visit the old mayor to find out.

Everything on her side was proceeding in an orderly manner, but someone at the Li's inn came after her.
