Chapter 240 Food price increases by 30%

Most of the victims in Sankou County basically had some food.

But, it won't last long.

Because there is not much grain in the granary.

I have to rely on the money for disaster relief to buy it.

The county magistrate and chief clerk of the county government did not want to die.

After seeing Chen Xiao's decisive means of killing, he immediately went to do business.

That night, more than a dozen large grain merchants from Sankou County came to the yamen.

The back yamen, in the hall!

The candle is bright!

Chen Xiao sat in the upper position, and several other doctors and others sat on the left one after another.

The row on the right is the local large grain farmers!

As a large grain household and a grain seller, their grain storage is sometimes even more stored than the standard grain stored in a county.

Moreover, there will be no situation like the yamen granary that does superficial work.

To put it bluntly, the food storage at the yamen was requested by the court.

If a corrupt official has greedy for money and fails to make the food in the grain storage meet the standards. If something goes wrong, it will cause the people to suffer and the court will find a way.

To put it bluntly, if you get a fire as an accident, you can get some punishment for a long time of embezzlement, and most officials will do it.

But big grain producers are different from merchants!

They make a living by food, so they will definitely store grain as hard as possible in their warehouses.

That's what they make money!

Therefore, the grain they own in the dozen major grain farmers in this county is enough for countless disaster victims in Sankou County to eat for a period of time.

Today, Sankou County is basically all victims of disasters. Only these large local merchants with strong background can protect themselves.

So, it is not easy to get them to take out their food!

Even if you buy it for money, it will definitely be more expensive than usual!

Looking at these big grain farmers, Chen Xiao had no expression on his face and said lightly:

"As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! Everyone here is a wealthy family. Now, my hometown is suffering from disaster. I wonder if you have ever had the will to do your part?"

His words were a bit of moral kidnapping, but they were harmless!

A large grain tyrant in the lead laughed dryly: "My lord... let us wait, open the warehouse and release grain, and provide relief to the victims?"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Now, Sankou County is at a time of disaster. You are strong and have extraordinary wealth. As the saying goes, take it from the people and use it for the people.

If you are willing to release food and disaster relief, I believe that you will not only receive praise from the court, but also respect from the people. Your business will inevitably receive support and help from the people in the future!"

This is clever and actually reminds the rich people present.

The meaning is very simple. Only with the people can you be considered rich.

If these Sankou County have been affected by disasters, no matter how rich you are, what?

This is a big picture view, and in the modern businessman’s way of doing business, it is an entrepreneurial pattern.

There were also many such merchants in ancient China.

When many local people are affected by disasters, the local rich people will open warehouses to release grain to provide relief to the victims.

There are even many strict business families who will set rules. If the location is affected by disaster, they will inevitably disperse all their wealth as soon as possible to reduce the harm caused to the people by the disaster!

There were quite a lot of such businessmen in ancient China.

He was also highly respected by the ancient people!

However, Chen Xiao was thinking too much at this moment.

Obviously, what he met was not someone with a big picture perspective on the entrepreneurial landscape.

Most businessmen are quite selfish.

Just like these in front of you.

The businessman led the way: "What the lord said... Most of the millions of people in Sankou County were affected by the disaster. How can we have a way to save them?

This is the matter of the court. If the court can solve it, it is best. If the court cannot solve it, we will naturally find a way to move out of here and go to another place!"

Chen Xiao was stunned and thought to himself that this is what a person said?

Co-author, the people in this place are starving to death, it doesn’t matter. Do you change the place, or are you rich?

This made Chen Xiao speechless.

Sure enough, businessmen still have the most interests. No wonder merchants have the lowest status among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Because each one only has interest!

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and continued to try to convince them:

"As the saying goes, businessmen do the world with kindness and faith. In fact, opening a warehouse and releasing grain is not an investment? Your behavior will make the people who survived your release of grain grateful.

In the future, they will definitely take care of your business. In this way, you may get greater returns and gains. From your point of view, you will make sure to make a profit!"

More than a dozen businessmen looked at each other, but Chen Xiao's words did not impress them.

Male. But what Chen Xiao really said makes sense. This is very important to win people's hearts when doing business.

But, they just don't want to do this good thing.

So, a businessman said, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to help, but we are really the landlord's family and there is no surplus food..."

The others nodded, as if they had no choice but to eat!

Chen Xiao's expression was slightly unfavorable and said, "Everyone, let's do this, I'll buy it according to the market price, how about it!"

Now, the merchants' eyes lit up.

Why store grain? Isn’t it just for sale?

The disaster is serious now and the people have no food to eat. It is the time when they make a lot of money, so they are willing to release food to provide relief.

Isn't it good to make money?

However, it is usually sold, but it is also sold during disasters.

But if it is a disaster and is sold at the usual level, how can it highlight the meaning of the disaster?

"Sir, we don't plan to sell this grain. However, in order to help the victims, we can only bear to give up our love. But at the usual price, it will definitely not work."

Chen Xiao was stunned: "What does it mean!"

"In this special case, you have to add 30%!" said the rich man in the lead.

Chen Xiao's face turned pale immediately!

To be honest, Chen Xiao was not angry if they did not agree to let these people open their warehouses and release grain.

As for businessmen, they are profit-oriented and cannot force them to be like those businessmen with morality and righteousness.

During the disaster, you don’t help and make money, that’s right.

But you know it was during the disaster, but you deliberately raised the price of food to save people. Isn’t this too nasty?

This is not a human blood steamed bun. It is a bite-by-bite of the meat of these victims with their blood.

Chen Xiao even thought to himself, these guys stored food on such a large scale, wouldn’t they just wait for disasters to make a profit?

In fact, I guessed it right.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Xiao said:

"This is the money from the court, this is the money to buy food for the victims. What we are talking about now is a business that saves countless lives! You tell me, it is 30% more expensive than usual?"

The businessman in charge smiled and said, "This... After all, now, we only have food in the entire Sankou County. Master, will you buy it?"
