I, the strongest poisoner, am called the living king of hell by the empress

Chapter 20



The old man was so angry that he was not happy.

"I know!"

"This Gao Yang kid is so sinister and vicious!"

Old Lin's face changed wildly, and he was heartbroken.

The other three heads of the family realized that something was wrong and suddenly became anxious.

The head of the Qian family asked anxiously, "Old Lin, what do you know? Tell me now."

Old Lin closed his eyes in pain.

At this moment, he completely understood Gao Yang's intention.

Insidious!

Too insidious.

"I have been playing with eagles all my life, but in the end, I was blinded by an eagle!" Old Lin sighed.

Old Lin's words made the other two anxious.

"Mr. Lin, please stop keeping us in suspense. What exactly does this Imperial Censor Gao want to do?" The head of the Han family said anxiously.

Mr. Lin said with a grim expression, "Posting a notice, forcing us to sell grain at a price lower than 150 wen per bucket, do you think that Gao Yang kid really gave us a huge fortune for free?"

The three heads of the family were all stunned. They still haven't figured it out.

Is there really someone in the world who works hard but doesn't get any thanks, and even doesn't hesitate to bear the infamy and give them a huge fortune?

At that time, there was only huge greed in their eyes, but now, when the grain price plummeted, they also realized that it was unusual.

This move was very wrong.

They all looked at Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin took a deep breath and said, "When the grain price is as high as 150 wen per bucket, who else will be attracted except us?"

As soon as these words came out.

Buzz!

The head of the Qian family almost blurted out, "Foreign grain merchants from the counties around Linjiang City!"

"Gao Yang wants to raise the grain price in Linjiang City and attract foreign grain merchants to sell grain."

The other two heads of the family looked grim.

They all understood.

"The price of grain in Linjiang City has increased from 50 wen to 100 wen per dou, but the grain price in Guangyang County is similar. In the severely affected areas, the price is about 100 wen per dou, and in the better areas, it is around 80 wen per dou!"

"But when Gao Yang arrived in Linjiang City, he directly raised the grain price to 150 wen per dou, and it may rise further. The profit of 50 wen per dou or even 80 wen per dou will surely attract these jealous foreign grain merchants to rush into Linjiang City!"

"Then, when it was almost time, he ordered the county government's granary to open the warehouse and release the grain, selling it at a price of 105 wen per dou, causing the grain price to plummet!"

"It's a pity that we haven't realized this yet, but instead accepted the old grain in the county government's granary at a price of 105 wen per dou!"

The head of the Qian family looked ugly and slammed the table.

"Gao Yang is so vicious!"

The faces of several people were gloomy, and they regretted it very much.

If they had sold the grain at 150 wen per dou when the county government just posted the notice, they would have made a lot of money.

But they chose to continue to hoard grain and seek huge profits!

As a result, they are now in a very passive position.

The grain price in Linjiang City has plummeted. Will they continue to hoard grain or sell it off?

Soon, another servant came in hurriedly.

"Mr. Lin, the county government posted a notice saying that the granary has sufficient grain. The censor sympathized with the people and ordered the granary of the Linjiang City County Government to sell it at 90 wen per dou, which is 15 wen per dou lower!"

The head of the Han family wailed, "The censor is trying to kill us!"

The servant continued, "Not only that, I also saw people from the county government wearing casual clothes and buying a lot of grain at the price of 93 wen per dou..."

Mr. Lin also looked ugly and distorted.

"We bought grain from the county government's granary at a price of 105 wen per dou, and the county government used our silver to buy grain at a price of 93 wen per dou, and then sold it at 90 wen. He could make a profit of 7 wen!"

Thinking of this, Mr. Lin couldn't hold it anymore.

Puff!

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This Gao Yang, I underestimated him!"

The servants saw this scene and came up to support Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin was so angry that he vomited blood!

He was the leader of the four major grain merchants, and the Lin family had the most grain in stock. If the grain price plummeted!

The Lin family would be the first to suffer!

Elder Lin didn't care about the blood boiling in his heart. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "This battle is far from over!"

"Foreign grain merchants can lower the price of grain, but there must not be so much grain in just seven days. The county government's granary is full of sand. As long as we work together and stick to the bottom line, even if the price of grain only returns to 100 wen per bucket, we can still make a lot of money!"

"But if we sell, Linjiang City will really be finished!"

Elder Lin looked at

The other three heads of the family.

The three looked at each other and nodded in unison.

The head of the Qian family said proudly, "Mr. Lin is right. This clumsy plan is full of loopholes in our eyes!"

"The four major families of Linjiang City advance and retreat together. As long as we hold the grain, we may not lose this battle!"

"I will go back to the mansion and order that no grain will be allowed to flow into the market!"

"Goodbye!"

The head of the Qian family strode away after saying this.

The heads of the Han family and the Zhao family also bowed their hands, "Mr. Lin, don't worry. Our four major families are like brothers. How could we do such a thing that harms others and benefits ourselves!"

"Goodbye!"

Several people left one after another.

Mr. Lin stared at their backs with deep eyes.

The housekeeper of the Lin Mansion said, "Mr. Lin, I will go and tell the Lin family's shop to not give up a penny!"

As soon as the housekeeper said this, Mr. Lin slapped him.

Bang!

"Idiot!" Old Lin scolded.

The housekeeper covered his face, and was stunned.

"Old Lin..."

Old Lin scolded, "If I don't sell, what if they sell secretly?

"By then, the only way waiting for me is bankruptcy."

"The first to strike is the strongest, the last to strike will suffer."

"Don't sell it openly, sell it privately as quickly as possible, and sell it to me at a price of 90 wen per bucket, no, sell it at 87 wen per bucket!"

The housekeeper was shocked, "Sell it at 87 wen per bucket?"

Old Lin nodded, "If this amount of grain is left in my hands, it will be a big loss."

The housekeeper widened his eyes and hurried to do it.

Outside the Lin Mansion.

Inside the carriage.

The head of the Qian family sat in the carriage and sneered, "Go back to the mansion, whoever doesn't sell is a fool! "

"In seven days, who knows how many grain merchants from other places have poured into Linjiang City. We must act as quickly as possible."

The eyes of the head of the Qian family flickered.

He spent too much silver, and almost the entire Qian family's granary was full.

He can survive this year, but what about next year?

Daqian has suffered from disasters and droughts for several consecutive years. Who can guarantee that next year will not be a good year?

Once it is a good year, the price of grain will normally be around 30 wen. It will be really miserable then.

For a time, the four major grain merchants in Linjiang City said on the surface that they would not sell, but they sold it privately.

Lin Mansion.

When Old Lin heard the news, his face was full of anger.

"These bastards, I knew they were unreliable. Fortunately, I also kept a hand, otherwise it would be over!"

"Pass my order, all the major rice shops of the Lin family will reduce their prices accordingly, even if they lose money, they must sell it to me. This battle, I lost! "

Lin Lao's eyes were complicated.

He had been in the martial arts world for his whole life, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Qin Yu in the end.

He couldn't afford to gamble. Once the grain price in Linjiang City stabilized, he would be hit by a thunderbolt.

If next year is not a disaster year, the entire Lin family's accumulation of a hundred years will be destroyed!

He must not be the sinner of the family"

With the end of the four major grain merchants, the grain price in Linjiang City plummeted again.

In just one hour, it plummeted from 93 wen per dou to 80 wen per dou!

This is already two wen cheaper than Cui Xinghe's 82 wen per dou!

And the most terrifying thing is that it took less than an hour for the price to drop from 220 wen per dou to 80 wen per dou!
