Chapter 158 Price increase

After much persuasion, Li Kui was relieved, but he carried the wild boar and wanted to leave. He shouted: "You are bullying me as a wild man and don't understand the market. I'll go to another store to sell it."

The manager had no choice but to add three guan to Li Kui before he asked Li Kui to agree to sell the wild boar to him. He also said to Li Kui with pain: "The six or seven rice shops in the city are all at this price. Although three liters of rice are not much, it is enough for a family of six to eat for a day. But you, the wild boar, can only be sold at a high price for me, and you can't sell this price at other families!"

Li Kui was not happy and went out cursingly: "Three liters of rice can only be made into porridge, and I ate a lot of clear soup and water. What's the strength?"

The manager's eyes fell on Li Kui's back with contempt, and suddenly spat: "Bah, don't look at your identity. If you eat every meal, it's your life?"

However, what the manager didn't know was that Li Kui did not try his luck in other rice shops.

Instead, he met Gao Qiu and Li Yun directly and went to the dock.

Li Kui took off his straw raincoat and threw it to the ground. Gao Qiu and Li Yun looked at each other and thought to himself: "Who is not open to your eyes and offends you, the old man!"

Facing Li Kui, Gao Qiu was much stronger than Li Yun. At least he dared to block Li Kui and ask clearly the reason. Li Yun could only squat in the corner and guess it randomly, and after his thoughts were clear, he suddenly realized.

Li Kui had nothing to say, but he was disgusted by the grain merchant's response: "No, these grain merchants are just thieves!"

"Did they make things difficult for you?"

Gao Qiu felt that it was not like that. Li Kui carried the wild boar over and took out the money. He could not see any signs of being deceived!

Li Kui raised his hand and pointed to a small bag taken out of the rice shop and asked, "Don't you know that all the rice shops in the city only sell food for one day?"

"Is it enough for three liters to eat for two days?"

Gao Qiu felt that Li Kui was a bit consuming food and had too much stomach, so he was not the kind that people could afford.

But are Li Kui and Gao Qiu talking about the same thing? He was a little angry at Gao Qiu's short-sighted eyes and stared at: "These grain merchants want to raise prices, but they dare not release food. They all stared at the little grain in our hands. The rice shop sold thirty bulls of grain, just to prevent us from selling grain tickets to raise money to buy food elsewhere. These people are waiting for us to take the initiative to reduce the price?"

"What are their benefits when the price is reduced?" Gao Qiu was puzzled.

Li Kui was angry and said unconfrontation: "Believe it or not, I just need to lower the price of food coupons to 400 cents per stone, and within a day, tens of thousands of stones of food will be consumed."

"Isn't this impossible to make money?" Gao Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yun, however, despised Li Kui and said greedily: "Why don't you sell forty-five cents? You can make a lot of money."

"Prosperity!"

"What's the point of earning five cents in one bucket?"

"How much does it cost to earn in one stone?"

"You go to Yizhou to ask, is my Master Li's name very useful now?"

"The rich young master, I'm trying hard to come to Yingzhou's most expensive business? Will I make people laugh when I go back?"

...

After complaining, Li Kui felt that the unruly people in Yingzhou were more and more disgusted. He looked down on this business. Of course, he looked down on him but could only continue. After all, the grain prices in Yingzhou were already linked to Su Shi's political achievements. He refused to let him go, and his teacher Zhou Yuan would not agree.

However, the practice of Mi Shang was beneficial to Su Shi.

If the rice price has been running around 30 cents, the big players in Yingzhou would not agree.

But Li Kui was acceptable to this result. He thought for a while and told Gao Qiu: "Go and withdraw everyone... No, wait first. Just let our people buy all the food coupons at the original price. I guess some of the people who bought the food coupons are beginning to regret it."

"I met a customer who wanted to refund the money yesterday. If the rice price does not rise, our food coupons will probably be thrown into our hands!"

Gao Qiu didn't care. He just felt sorry for his busy life during this period. After a while of busyness, he did not get the reward he deserved, and he was a little helpless to be fooled.

Li Yun said: "Li Kui, this is not good! Does it cost a lot of money?"

Li Kui opened his mouth and his tone made people frown: "How much is this? Even if it fails in the end, I will admit it. It is all mine. Even if the grain purchased by Jiangning, I will pay it all together. If you don't have any money, I will give it to everyone in Yingzhou, which will anger the thief to death!"

Even Gao Qiu felt that Li Kui was confused by anger.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can figure out that the biggest reason why the rice price of grain merchants is probably to collect the grain that they always close from Su Shi at a low price.

At this time, I let go, and I was blackmailed by grain merchants.

It would be strange if Li Kui could tolerate it.

At this point, Gao Qiu no longer had the intention to persuade him, mainly because he had no good idea. Li Kui also believed that as long as he could stabilize the food price, it was not a bad thing for Su Shi, or at least one good thing.

However, Li Yun was a little troublesome. He was born in a head-catching family. His father Li Qing also wanted to be a good man in Yishui County. However, this person who worked in the yamen all year round made Li Yun look a little bit like a person. This is where Li Kui looked down on Li Yun the most. He was originally a good guy, but the woman was not a man at all.

Li Yun said: "Li Kui, you can't go straight to everything. If you do this, you may cause trouble to the master. Although you were too domineering when you were in Yishui, you bewitched my father from his career as the captain. But since I came to Yingzhou, I found that you are not too bad?"

What is this?

Praise yourself?

Li Kui was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Yun with a weird look, and shouted, "Does he still feel wronged for you if he praises men?"

Praise Li Kui?

Li Yun really couldn't say anything, mainly because Li Kui didn't seem to have any advantages, at least for Li Yun. After scrambling for a while, Li Yun said in a dilemma: "Look, since you came to Yingzhou, you have asked Gao Qiu to give me pocket money every month, which means you are not bad-hearted!"

"Me?" Li Kui pointed to his nose and sneered: "I'll give you pocket money. Are you my son? Is my head kicked by a donkey?"

Li Yun looked at Gao Qiu in shock, Gao Qiu covered his forehead and said helplessly, "It's Aunt Wang, she asked me to say that."

Li Yun was stammering his neck. If he hadn't thought that he and Li Kui would die if he fought to the death, he should have thrown himself out and fought with Li Kui.

The next day.

The ground in Yingzhou was safe and sound, and the rice shop still sold food at a price of 30 cents per bucket. However, each person could only buy three liters.

The only thing that makes people funny is that when the government saw that the food stamps could not be sold, the price actually increased, and the price of the food stamps was reduced by 600 yuan per stone. In a blink of an eye, it rose to 650 yuan.

Everyone is mocking the government for not being able to do business and doing business so well.

However, in a large mansion in the city, more than a dozen luxuriously dressed men lamented with grief and looked at the main seat from time to time.

Bang-

The man in the main position slapped the food table and said angrily: "Su Shi is so insincere, this is forcing us to the dead end!"
