If there was no grain service for the people, Zhu Youxiao would not dare to collect grain retail tax. He could think of it with his butt. Those grain merchants would definitely pass the cost on the people.

However, it is different with Jimin Grain Bank. As long as Jimin Grain Bank can ensure the supply of food, it can maintain stable grain prices. The fundamental purpose of levied grain retail tax is to squeeze out those grain merchants from the market and achieve the goal of monopolizing the market.

As long as it monopolizes the market supply of grain and maintains grain production, Zhu Youxiao can control the stability of grain prices and make profits.

When the scale is small, the profit may not be considerable. However, as long as the scale is large, the profit will be extremely considerable. Moreover, if you have food in your hands, you can provide relief to the victims and will not force the people to rebel.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao only collects grain retail tax in places where Jimin Grain Store can care about, and puts it in places where you don’t care about it first. If you really catch it all in one go, those places that you don’t care about will lose the market regulation ability of grain. At that time, the food in the hands of farmers will not be sold, and problems will arise.

The Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty has now acquired more than tens of millions of taels of deposits, but grain is a commodity, and it is not something that can be sold in a short while. The backlog of funds is a bit powerful, so Jimin Grain Bank has only energy to monopolize the three areas of the government for the time being.

Cao Jinyu is undoubtedly the busiest. There is no problem with every link of grain dispatch and capital transfer in various places. Fortunately, he has hired many experienced shopkeepers and has begun to train a group of apprentices.

In order to ensure sufficient supply of grain, the Jimin Grain Bank offered a grain purchase price of 0.8 taels of silver per stone during the summer harvest, basically sweeping the commercial grain produced in the Jingji area. Many farmers and landlords sold the grain to the Jimin Grain Bank. It is indeed not easy to have such a price during the summer harvest.

The reason why the food prices during summer harvests were so low was mainly due to the impact of the government's discount on grain.

First of all, many grain banks used the funds they had in their hands to buy the grain they had in their hands, and there was no urgent demand for the grain they had in their hands. Another thing was that even if the grain merchants who could not buy the grain they had in their hands would be at a higher price to buy farmers at this time, the food they had in their hands would be much less competitive.

Another thing is that some farmers urgently need money, and they may still owe the landlords a lot of debts! At this time, a price alliance is formed, and grain merchants will always receive a portion of the food.

Therefore, the sharp fluctuations in grain prices are actually a big factor in the government’s discount on grain.

This year, the northern grain discount was swept away by the Jimin Grain Bank, leaving only some remote prefectures and counties that were not inviting, which made other grain banks not prepare in advance. When it was time to purchase the grain discount, the Jimin Grain Bank suddenly caught off guard. When they started to purchase the grain from farmers and landlords, the grain in the Jingji area and surrounding areas had been swept away by the Jimin Grain Bank.

At this time, the grain merchants who reacted had to purchase the grain from farmers and landlords at a higher price.

Because governments were disposal of grain in the north, the local grain purchase prices have increased significantly, and farmers and landlords have benefited.

However, only the purchase price has risen sharply in the Gyeonggi region. The emergence of Jimin Food Bank has broken their price alliance.

The real huge profit in the grain business lies in low-priced grain. If those grain merchants can buy low-priced grain, even if the retail tax of 2 cents per stone of grain is levied and maintained at a retail price of 1.5 taels, they will still have money to make, but they are not so profitable.

The real huge profit is waiting for the disaster year to appear. Once the disaster year arrives, the food will rise exponentially and exponentially.

Cao Jinyu has studied the grain business very thoroughly, and he is commonplace to obtain huge profits, but Cao Jinyu understands more clearly that the emperor does not want the grain business to be too profitable. What the emperor wants is a stable grain price. The food business of the people can make money, but everything is based on the stable grain price.

After Xia Sheng finished all the things he should be busy with, Cao Jinyu immediately went to the palace to report the business situation to the emperor and handed Zhu Youxiao a satisfactory transcript.

The Jimin Grain Bank is expected to earn about 1 million taels through official discounts and completes official orders. However, the official orders are not all in a hurry. A lot of this grain is still in hand. It will take half a year to a year to a year to be delivered.

In addition, there are still 2 million stones of official grain left and stored in warehouses in various places.

"Your Majesty, I think that if you want to stabilize the grain prices in various places in the north, it is better to use these two million stones of grain as a basis. If the grain price in a certain place is increased, it will be transported to the land to stabilize the grain prices. Although these grain storage places are a little remote, the cost is lower. Even if it is long-distance transportation and then sold at a fair price, the capital can still be guaranteed." Cao Jinyu suggested to Zhu Youxiao.

"I am very pleased that my dear thoughts." Zhu Youxiao was really pleased. Cao Jinyu was so conscious that he was not so happy that he would not get into money like the Donglin Party.

This time, the Jimin Grain Bank did a good job. The on-site liquidation of land taxes and discounts not only saved a large part of the agricultural tax losses of the court, but also made local officials unable to weigh the heads. They also understood the local land taxes so that they would not be intercepted by local officials.

This may be the year when local officials in the northern prefectures and counties felt the most heartbreaking. In the past, they could conceal part of the land tax, or even directly intercept it, and drag it on. If the court did not urge, they would not give it to it. The court urged him to pay it back, and then he would slowly surrender part of it, and then continue to challenge the court's patience limit.

This year, when Jimin Grain Bank purchased discounted grains, it was clearly counted how much agricultural tax was levied by local governments.

However, before the local government paid land taxes to the court, many officials were not sure about it. However, this order has been reported to the Jinyi Guardian, so it will be up to which SB dares to intercept taxes.

"This is how I will let the Jinyiwei keep an eye on the prices in various places and then pass them on stations. Whether you can make money depends on yours." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said that information circulation is not developed these days. If the official makes this time difference, it will obviously be able to make huge profits.

The history of the Rothschild consortium's success relies heavily on fast intelligence systems, through faster intelligence than others, and then transporting goods from other places to areas lacking certain goods.

The court obviously had this condition because the court had post stations.

After hearing this, Cao Jinyu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Cao Jinyu, who has been in business trafficking for a long time, has a very deep understanding of information. Learning about the market one step earlier than others means huge benefits.

The price of a certain product in a certain place has increased. If you can know the news at the first time, you can quickly transfer a batch of goods. If the price of a certain product in a certain place is low, you can also rush over and eat it and then sell it to a place with a high price.

As long as there is a fast intelligence system, this is a sure profit and the benefits are huge.

Obviously no one's news will be faster than the court. The court has a post station to deliver messages. If necessary, it can even be expedited for 800 miles.

This business intelligence system is also what Zhu Youxiao needs, making money is second to him. The most useful thing for him is to rescue disasters and stabilize food prices.

If you want to avoid being stockpiled by those black-hearted grain merchants, you must have the ability to respond quickly.

After Cao Jinyu left, Zhu Youxiao immediately explained the problems of the intelligence system and divided the areas, allowing Jinyiwei and Dongchang to be responsible for collecting and summarizing commercial intelligence in a northern area, and then handing it over to Cao Jinyu for operation. The benefits from operation are still the same as those of the grain business, and 82 are divided into 82.

Just less than two days after Cao Jinyu reported on the development of the grain shop, Cao Jinyu reported another news that the Jimin Grain Shopping Company was burned in the granary in Tianjin in the middle of the night. About 30,000 stones of flour were burned, and the loss reached 45,000 taels of silver.

"There are really people who are not afraid of death." Zhu Youxiao sighed. Needless to think, it must be done by the grain merchants in Tianjin. Because they could not compete head-on with the food merchants in Jimin, they began to use violence. But the country is the largest violent institution!

"Come here, the Beijing camp immediately dispatched a battalion to Tianjin to cooperate with the Jinyiwei to search the grain stores in Tianjin." Zhu Youxiao didn't have to think about anything and directly issued an order.

If I dare to burn my food, then I can only use violence to fight violence.
