I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 346 The transaction is completed
Seeing the grain merchant's expression, Jia Sizhen frowned slightly, and said, "I heard that shopkeeper Liu is one of the most powerful among the many grain merchants in Gusu Mansion. Could it be that he can't even get a hundred thousand shi of grain?"

Hearing this, the skinny merchant hurriedly waved his hands and said, "The treasurer Jia misunderstood, although there is a lot of food in the amount of one hundred thousand shi, but I can still get it together if you give me some time!"

Jia Sizhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked unhurriedly, "I don't know how long shopkeeper Liu refers to as a little time?"

The thin merchant hesitated for a moment, and said, "Half a month, at most half a month!"

"If I can have half a month, I won't come to shopkeeper Liu."

Jia Sizhen still looked calm, looked at the grain merchant in front of him, and said calmly: "There are so many grain merchants in Gusu City, which of them can't make up [-] shi of grain in half a month? The purpose of coming down to shopkeeper Liu is to raise food in the shortest possible time!"

Hearing this, the skinny merchant seemed to realize something, lowered his voice, and asked, "I don't know why shopkeeper Jia suddenly wants so much food and is still in such a hurry?"

Jia Sizhen glanced at him and said, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with our business."

The thin merchant opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

Jia Sizhen waved her hand and said, "If shopkeeper Liu finds it difficult, then don't do it. I will find someone else who can do it."

After speaking, without the slightest hesitation, he stood up and was about to leave.

Before leaving, he threw a stack of big Wubao banknotes on the table, and said calmly: "I invite you for today's tea."

Seeing this, the thin businessman hurriedly stood up, stopped Jia Sizhen, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "The shopkeeper Jia is supercilious, so I just asked casually, and the shopkeeper Jia didn't want to say anything."

Hearing this, Jia Shuangzhen stopped in her tracks, looked at the well-known grain merchant in Gusu Mansion, and said, "Treasurer Liu, give me a correct word, how long will it take to get [-] shi of grain together? "

The skinny businessman showed hesitation on his vicissitudes of face, opened his mouth after a while, and said, "If everything goes well, it will be seven days at most!"

The so-called everything goes well means that the people behind him allow the business.

Even in the country of Wu, which is full of fertile fields, food is the most important material.

All of a sudden, he sold [-] shi of grain to people of unknown origin.

If the backer behind him didn't nod, he wouldn't dare to sell it no matter what.

If something goes wrong, he must be the first to take the blame!

How could he not understand this truth.

"Seven days."

Jia Sizhen was silent for a few seconds, stretched out her palm, and said, "Five days!"

When the thin merchant heard this, he looked embarrassed, and was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Jia Sizhen say:

"If Shopkeeper Liu can collect [-] shi of grain within five days and hand it over to me, I'm willing to buy it at a price that's [-]% more than the market price!"

One hundred thousand stones of grain.

[-]% more than the price.

That is more than 1 taels of silver!

The thin merchant's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but agree to the deal immediately.

Fortunately, in the end, rationality prevailed over sensibility and made him shut up.

After calming down, he said just now: "Okay! I'm going to set off right now. Can I get together a hundred thousand shi of grain? I can give you an answer to Shopkeeper Jia in two hours at most!"

When you're done, leave.

at this time.

Jia Sizhen stopped him again: "Wait a minute!"

The thin and thin shopkeeper showed doubts, and turned to look at Jia Sianzhen.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him say:

"It was agreed in advance that before coming down to Gusu, all the silver will be exchanged for Dawubao banknotes, so when the time comes to buy food, we will also use Dawubao banknotes, and there will be no cash."

"Big Wu Baochao"

Hearing these four words, the Qingshou shopkeeper showed hesitation.

Although the imperial court has ordered that the banknotes of the Great Wu Bao can be exchanged for gold and silver at the Bank of Great Wu, no merchant shall refuse to accept the banknotes of the Great Wu Bao.

However, it has been less than a month since the big Wubao banknote came out, and whether it is as the court said is still a question mark.

However, the Dagan banknotes issued by Qianguo before are indeed no different from gold and silver. As long as you get the ticket number opened by Qianguo, you can easily exchange them for gold and silver.

It's a pity that the imperial court forcibly banned the use of Qianguo's banknotes and expelled Qianguo's banknotes in order to open the way for the Dawubao banknotes.

Even so, before Qianguo's banknotes left, everyone was allowed to exchange the Dagan banknotes in their hands for gold and silver.

It can be seen that the people of Qianguo really did it, equating Dagan banknotes with gold and silver!
"It would be nice if there were a lot of paper money."

Thinking of this, the skinny merchant couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Hearing this, Jia Sizhen frowned slightly, and said, "What is Shopkeeper Liu talking about? The Dawu Treasure Banknotes are issued by the imperial court, and they can be exchanged for gold and silver at the Dawu Bank. This is His Majesty's will! Could it be Shopkeeper Liu? Do you think His Majesty will make fun of this matter? Don’t shopkeeper Liu know, are you kidding me?”

The skinny merchant saw Jia Shuangzhen looking like he was on the line, and hurriedly said: "I have absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just that the big Wu Bao banknote has just been printed and issued, and it's hard to use it after getting it."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Sizhen.

"The imperial court has clearly ordered all shops not to reject the big Wu Bao banknotes. Why is it so difficult to use them?"

"This"

When the thin merchant heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

That's what it says, but who knows if it's true.

The previous copper plates could also be exchanged for gold and silver.

But after a long time, will there be fluctuations?

After all, this big Wubao banknote is just paper, not the same as copper plate, and the court can print as much as it wants.

If it is worthless by then, what should he do?
I am hesitating.

I heard Jia Sizhen's voice sounding again.

"I only have the big Wubao banknotes in my hands now, so it's not impossible to go to the bank to exchange them for gold and silver, but these few days, I have important things to do, and I really don't have time.

Of course, I can also understand shopkeeper Liu's concerns. In this way, if shopkeeper Liu is really worried, on the day of the transaction, shopkeeper Liu can invite a few more guys from Dawu Bank to check the authenticity of Dawu banknotes. How about directly changing it to gold and silver? "

Jia Sizhen looked at Shopkeeper Liu in front of her, and she was quite sincere.

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a few seconds when he heard this, nodded without hesitation, and said, "Okay, just do as Shopkeeper Jia said!"

After a pause, he said again: "Then I'll go and see if I can get one hundred thousand shi of grain within five days!"

"it is good."

Jia Sizhen nodded.

The two bowed to each other.

Shopkeeper Liu turned around and left.

After half an hour.

Jingbei Hou Mansion.

Shopkeeper Liu, a slender grain merchant, sat on a chair cautiously, looking at the Jingbeihou in front of him, who was dressed in rich clothes, and did not dare to make a sound.

Although this Marquis of Jingbei had never been on the battlefield, he did not waste his martial arts on weekdays, so he seemed to have a somewhat decisive temperament.

As the core of Hu Song's faction, he earns money in various ways, among which reselling grain earns the most!
Dawu is full of fertile fields and rich in products, which has led to the maintenance of grain prices at a moderate level. It is not low, but it is definitely not high.

As long as the grain is transported to the three kingdoms of Zhou, Qian, and Yan in the north, the price will skyrocket!
Especially during these days, the Three Kingdoms in the north are constantly fighting, and there is an urgent shortage of food, and the price can even double.

After tossing back and forth, the money will flow into the account like running water.

"According to the market price, [-]% more is not much more."

Jingbei Hou picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely.

Shopkeeper Liu heard this, and hurriedly said: "Returning to Master Hou, the market price that man said is based on the price on the black market, which is already double the price charged."

Jingbei Hou's eyes lit up, he put down his teacup slowly, and said, "So, do you add [-]% to the doubled amount?"

Shopkeeper Liu had a respectful face, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to Lord Hou, it is true."

"One hundred thousand shi of grain, doubled, and 7% more, can earn [-] to [-] taels by going back and forth. Why don't you do such a business and come to ask me for instructions?"

Jingbeihou glanced at him, and said in a neither cold nor indifferent way.

Shopkeeper Liu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "If you go back to Lord Hou, the most important reason why I come to bother you is that this person has an unknown origin and is anxiously waiting to prepare food. look.

Moreover, although he spoke with an accent of the Yue Kingdom, he looked like a person from the Three Kingdoms in the North. Therefore, a little deduction, he was most likely sent by the Three Kingdoms in the North to prepare military rations.

The younger one thought that the imperial court was now preparing to fight against the Qian State in the north. If this person was from Zhou and Yan, it would be fine, but if he was from the Qian State, the younger one would have made a big mistake. "

When the Marquis of Jingbei heard this, he still looked calm, glanced at him, and said leisurely: "The Qian Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom have now formed an alliance, don't you know?"

Shopkeeper Liu was slightly taken aback, opened his mouth, and was about to answer, when he heard Jingbei Hou continue:

"Between Yan State and my Great Wu are Qian State and Zhou State. Don't think about it. This Marquis knows that the grain cannot be sold there at all. Yan State cannot be sold, and Qian State and Zhou State cannot be sold. This grain is still there. Who can you sell it to? The country of Yue?"

Shopkeeper Liu probably understood what Jingbeihou meant, and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

The country of Yue is also rich in products, and the grain sold there does not earn much money.

Therefore, it can only be sold to Qian and Zhou.

Seeing that shopkeeper Liu was silent, Jingbeihou waved his hands and said, "Go down."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Shopkeeper Liu got the cue, stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

Halfway through the walk, thinking of the gossip I had heard, I hesitated again.

He stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at the Marquis of Jingbei, mustered up his courage, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm really terrified. If that person is really doing it, Zhou sent him to raise rations."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jingbeihou.

"This Marquis is not afraid, what are you afraid of!"

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Liu hurriedly saluted: "Young one knows I'm wrong, I'll do it now!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left quickly.

After walking out of the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

The sun shines on him.

Instead of feeling the slightest bit of warmth, he felt a burst of chills hit him, making him shiver uncontrollably.

If there is no accident, if the imperial court wants to make a northern expedition to Qianguo, Jingbei Hou is one of the candidates for the commander-in-chief.

Even if he is not the coach, he is also a martial artist, and he will go to the battlefield to fight the enemy at that time!
Such a person is undoubtedly very important to the imperial court!

But it was such a person who actually sold grain to the enemy in order to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver!

How could shopkeeper Liu not be afraid of this.

At this moment.

He had almost expected it.

If the imperial court goes to war with Qianguo!
Defeated!

And it must have been a fiasco!

At that time, people like him are destined to take the blame for people like Jingbeihou!
Thinking of this.

Shopkeeper Liu has already made a decision in his heart.

After getting the money from the business last night, he packed up his belongings and left Gusu City with his family, walking as far as he could.

It's better to hide your name and go to Qianguo to be a rich man!

"Hey"

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but let out a sigh, and walked towards the teahouse.

Another half hour.

Shopkeeper Liu saw Jia Sizhen who was still enjoying music in the teahouse, and said with a smile:
"Treasurer Jia, good news, you can get the hundred thousand shi of grain you want within five days!"

Jia Sizhen was appreciating the music, when she heard this, she turned her head to look at shopkeeper Liu, also with a smile on her face, and said: "It is said that you can never go wrong with shopkeeper Liu when you buy grain in Gusu Mansion. It really lives up to its reputation!"

After a deal is made.

Both of them were more enthusiastic.

After greeting each other a few words, they ate together, enjoyed music together, and strolled around the brothel together.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

One hundred thousand shi of grain has been sent to a certain place in the suburbs according to Jia Sizhen's request.

After receiving the message, make sure there is no ambush around.

Jia Sizhen also took out the big Wubao banknotes for buying grain and put them on the table.

Looking at the big Wu Bao banknotes stacked together.

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes lit up, he looked at the guys behind him, and said with a smile: "Please take a look, how many big Wubao banknotes are here, and all of them will be exchanged for gold and silver."

These guys are all from Dawu Bank.

They have the final say on the authenticity of the big Wu Bao note.

Of course, they have also received strict training, and if there is a problem with the banknotes, they will copy the property all over the house.

Therefore, every treasure note is read carefully, not daring to make any mistakes.

Shopkeeper Liu also took care of the stewards of Dawu Bank and just lent them out.

The guys nodded, without saying a word, they stepped forward to check the big Wu Bao banknotes on the table.

Picked up one, observed carefully for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual.

He took out the big Wu Bao banknote for comparison and compared it carefully, and there was still no abnormality.

"real."

The buddy said lightly.

After finishing speaking, he put this treasure note worth one tael of silver into the wooden box.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up another treasure note and compared them carefully.

"real."

"real."

"real."

Time passed minute by minute.

Each wooden box was filled with big Wubao banknotes.

Three full days and three nights!

The few guys didn't have much rest, and finally verified all the big Wubao banknotes, and they were all true.

So far, the transaction has been fully concluded.

Shopkeeper Liu greeted Jia Sizhen with a smile.

Jia Sizhen also responded with a smile.

Several guys are exhausted enough.

Someone couldn't help complaining:

"What's going on these days, why are so many people exchanging treasure notes for gold and silver?"
