"I said, I want to sell my one hundred and fifty shiploads of grain to sir at half price!"
Song Changji repeated it again, and this time he deliberately raised his voice.
"You want to sell all the grain to me? For half the price? Song Changji, what are you planning?"
Lin Xu subconsciously felt that this was a trap!
"I didn't have any special intentions, I just wanted to do a business deal with my husband!"
"Stop talking nonsense! You sold all the grain to me, how can you buy fields?"
"I don't want to buy any more fields."
"Don't want to buy the land?"
When Lin Xu looked at Song Changji, he didn't seem to be lying. Then something must have happened. Otherwise, Song Changji would never have sold the grain for no reason!
As for what happened, Lin Xu had no way of guessing, so he asked directly: "Tell me, what happened."
Song Changji remained silent.
"Haha, if you don't want to say it, then just leave. Now that the whole province is hit by a disaster, food is the most scarce material. You don't have to sell it at half price. You can sell it at double the price without worrying about selling!"
Lin Xu saw that he didn't want to say anything, so he just retreated into advancement.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you are buying a large amount of grain recently, and you are even willing to pay several times the price to buy it from other provinces. Now, I have one hundred and fifty ships of grain parked on the Grand Canal. They can all be sold at half price.
If I give it to you, why should you abandon the near and seek the far?"
Song Changji continued to persuade.
"This is not a hundred and fifty ships of food, but a hundred and fifty ships of gunpowder!"
Lin Xu didn't mean what he said, he just said it casually. But after Song Changji heard this, his expression suddenly changed!
Because, he immediately thought of the boatload of black powder used to blow up the dam!
"Okay, everyone is very busy. Since the deal has not been concluded, I won't let you have dinner. Go back."
Lin Xu is now eager to buy grain. It is impossible to say that he is not at all tempted by Song Changji's 150 shipments of grain. But until he understands the inside story clearly, he will give it away for free, let alone half price.
Won't want it.
Because as he just said, maybe, these 150 ships of food will really turn into 150 ships of gunpowder!
Song Changji was silent for a long time, and finally decided to tell Lin Xu the truth!
Because except for Lin Xu, no one in Jiangsu has the ability to eat these 150 ships of food at once, and no one has the courage to eat these 150 ships of food!
After making up his mind, Song Changji said, "Can I sit down and talk?"
Lin Xu understood that Song Changji was preparing to have a long talk with him.
"Okay, you can sit wherever you like."
Lin Xu said lightly, and then emphasized: "However, I am really busy and don't have much time to accompany you in circles."
As expected, Song Changji did not beat around the bush. After sitting down, he said directly: "The incident in Jiangsu has been spread in the capital. The emperor has sent people to Jiangsu to investigate the case. The King of Wu has also sent people over to destroy the dikes and flood the fields.
I'm afraid things can't be suppressed anymore, and converting rice into mulberry has become a dead end! I don't want to die, so I want to sell all the food to Mr. to get out of this muddy water."
"In addition, I have 30 workshops, 3,000 looms, 60,000 acres of mulberry fields, and 128 silk and satin shops in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Jinling and other places. These assets alone add up to
The value is more than three million taels of silver."
"In addition, I have a total of seven houses in Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places. The value of just one villa on the outskirts of Beijing will not be less than 300,000 taels of silver."
"Calculated according to the market price, if all my assets are put together, I dare not say that it will be more. Five million taels of silver should be fine." This chapter has been completed!
