The matter has reached this point, no matter how Lin Chujiu and Su Cha struggle, they can’t change the fact that they have to go against the Zhang Family of Central Empire. Lin Chujiu and Su Cha were no longer entangled. After finishing their breakfast, they discussed how to deal with it.
“Wangfei, this is the news that I asked people to find out. This time when the price of food increased, in just 7 days, the Zhang Family earned more than 1 million” More than 1 million was not a normal income, the normal income was after the profit before the price hike was removed.
“Fortunately, wangye came out in 7 days, otherwise, the price of food will change every day. The Zhang Family will eat people alive.” Lin Chujiu looked at the data that Su Cha gathered and couldn’t help but shake her head.
Their movement was faster than printing money. Apart from the Zhang Family, other merchants were not that bad. If their earnings added up, they only earn up to 200,000 liang. Even Su Cha only earned more than 300,000.
However, Su Cha earned much more because he has more supplies. The price of their grains was lower compared to the other shops. So a lot more people prepare to buy in their shop. And so their profit was not small.
“These businessmen have become accustomed to making a fortune. After every war, people must live a tight life for a few years. Even the imperial court budget must be tight. If a serious case arises, they will be forced to borrow money to the Central Empire. In fact, the four countries are afraid of fighting. They don’t want to fight. But every few years, they fight several battles. The East Country manages to stop going into war for 3 years, so the state treasury saved a sum of money. But because of this war, I’m afraid they spent 10x more than that.” Aside from the profit in 7 days, Su Cha also investigated the huge profit made by grain merchants in the past few years.
“Wangfei, you see, when the East and North Country fought 3 years ago, the Zhang Family nearly earned 10 million liang. Aside from the grains, they also sold salt and iron.” Su Cha was fully prepared this time, whether it was useful or not. He checked things out first before he talks.
This time, their situation was so dangerous that he didn’t dare to take things lightly.
Su Cha took out another piece of paper and handed it to Lin Chujiu: “This one is the report that the Zhang Family earned from the battle between East and West Country 4 years ago.”
Su Cha was a businessman, who also sell grains, so he was very sensitive to the price increase of grains. He usually collects this kind of news. When the price of grains or salt rise, Su Cha habitually record them. contemporary romance
“Your collection is complete.” Lin Chujiu looked at the data one by one and then looked at Su Cha with great admiration.
It’s not only the East but also the price hike in the North, South and West Country. Su Cha recorded them one by one. However, Su Cha cannot find out the total sales of the 3 countries. However, according to the demand of each country, and the total price increased in food, it can be seen how unscrupulous the Zhang family was, during those wars.
Lin Chujiu didn’t use the abacus, she calculated things with the use of charcoal. After calculating, Lin Chujiu was dumbfounded: “In the 3 countries, those grain merchants earned over 200 million liang?” They were simply grabbing the ordinary people’s money.
“Terrible, isn’t it? Without careful analysis, we only think that they earn 1 to 2 million at most. Especially because the price increase was only a few pennies, when in fact, they were sucking people’s blood.” The emperor must have learned this, so he made a move and used Xiao Wangfu as a gun.
He wants Xiao Wangfu to fight against those Central Empire merchants. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, the emperor is the winner.
