Chapter 364: It’s hard to make money for the country
"Everyone has a different temperament and different ideas. You are not rich, so you can't be liked by everyone. Sometimes you have to take more care of yourself."
Mrs. Du raised her head and looked at the trust in her mother-in-law's eyes, feeling indescribable warmth in her heart.
"Mom, I know, don't worry, I will definitely be a good sister-in-law."
After talking about the business, Baiyunxi asked everyone to sit down.
"Mom went to town today and heard about a big event. This matter affects the price of our grain sales, so I have to discuss it with you."
When Bai Anyan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, "What's going on?"
What will affect their food prices?
Bai Yunxi looked at everyone's curious eyes and narrated the story of the war to everyone. Seeing the shocked looks on their faces, Bai Yunxi sighed helplessly.
"Although I just heard about it, I think it must be right. No matter whether the war will spread here or not, we must take precautions just in case."
"Mom is right, you do need protection. War is no small matter."
Bai Anyan had a heavy look on his face. Why did he go to war when he was doing well? The day was just a little better.
I heard from the elders in the village that fighting a war is like encountering a catastrophic disaster. There will be refugees doing evil and disturbing the peace of the village.
"What are your plans, mother?"
As soon as Bai Anyan said these words, several pairs of eyes were fixed on her.
"Ahem~, fighting is not a trivial matter. Fortunately, our family's fields have harvested well, so we don't have to worry about food and drink. Mom originally planned to keep some rations and sell the rest to make money to build a house. But now I want to wait. I guess the food will be
Price increase.”
Seeing everyone's confused looks, Bai Yunxi didn't hide anything and directly stated her inner plan. They were all members of the family, and any decision she made would not be hidden from them.
Now that we are the eldest, everyone must participate in any decision-making in the family.
"So, Mom wants to wait until the price of food rises before selling it. In this way, we don't have to worry about the money to build a house."
As soon as Bai Yunxi finished speaking, Xiao Si next to him slapped his thigh fiercely.
"Mom, that's right, we have to take the opportunity to make a fortune."
This is a rare business opportunity. Seize the opportunity and turn around in one day.
Listening to Xiaosi's tone, Bai Anyan's face was a little tangled, and he looked up at Baiyunxi,
"Mom, isn't this good? Why does it feel like you're taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune?"
Seeing Bai Anyan staring at him with a troubled expression, his eyes full of disapproval, Bai Yunxi knew what he was thinking without even listening to his thoughts?
"What's wrong? Do you think my mother wants to take advantage of the country's crisis to make a fortune? In your heart, this is the kind of person my mother is?"
"I...I didn't mean that..." Bai Anyan blushed, a little at a loss.
Seeing the embarrassed look on his second brother's face, Bai Yunxi snorted softly,
"My idea is very simple. Once a war breaks out, the price of food will inevitably rise. Instead of buying it now at a low price, why wait a few days and sell it at a high price?"
"Also, our grain is sold to grain dealers, not to the people. Even if you sell it at a low price, who can guarantee that the grain dealers will not increase the price to the people? By then, the price difference earned by the grain dealers will be
Isn’t it bigger?”
"We know that there is going to be a war and food prices are bound to rise. Why should we sell to grain merchants at low prices?"
Listening to his mother's question, Bai Anyan opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to defend himself.
But I just couldn't turn around. If they sell grain at a high price, wouldn't it be even more expensive for the people to buy rations?
