Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine: Clouds and Rains(1/2)
Chen Zhengtai seemed calm and calm, summarizing all the massive information.
Land prices have begun to loosen.
But...this is within a controllable range.
He murmured the surnames of the aristocratic races that owned a large amount of land.
At this moment, Chen Zhengtai was like a hungry wolf hiding in the darkness.
He slowly licked his minions, waiting for the opportunity to rush out and give someone a fatal blow.
After two days, countless messages were marked on the map, so... I had to change the map again and copy the latest messages.
According to the continuous collection of information by dozens or hundreds of people, all the land information in Guanzhong was collected.
Teeth row is an important indicator.
Of course... this indicator may not be completely useful, because real bulk transactions will never be conducted in the tooth.
People who own a large amount of land will never rush to sell the land just because of one or two news.
Obviously... these are just dreams for the time being.
The aristocratic races have enough resources, so they can always calmly deal with most risks.
When the news that the annual output of thousands of acres of grain began to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many landlords and aristocratic races also received the seedlings from the Chen family, many people began to believe that the world would only have a surplus of food in the next few decades, and it would never be possible to have a food shortage.
The food prices finally began to loosen.
The first responders were the grain merchants.
Those grain merchants who heard about the great disaster in Guanzhong and transported grain for several months later and made a fortune, realized that if they did not sell the grain, it would be very likely that a huge deficit would occur, and the grain would begin to plummet.
"It fell by 30%." All of this was obviously within Chen Zhengtai's expectations. While marking, he said to Li Chengqian: "Young brother understands what this means?"
"The land price is about to fall." Li Chengqian said without thinking too much.
Chen Zhengtai nodded and smiled, "It seems that my junior brother is still very smart, but... it's not enough. We are now making a big bet with the aristocratic people in the world, and this big bet... is betting on people's hearts."
"Human heart?" Li Chengqian thought about these two words.
He always felt that Chen Zhengtai would have some inexplicable knowledge.
It took Li Chengqian a lot of days to barely understand something, but now... he is confused again.
Looking at Li Chengqian's confused look, Chen Zhengtai said: "Owning land is the inherent thinking developed by everyone in the world. After all, our ancestors have been through this for generations. The world has experienced countless cycles of governance and chaos. However, in people's inherent concepts, only those who own land can be invincible."
Chen Zhengtai paused and said, "And this... has become the belief of most people. This belief is much more reliable than what gods and Buddhas they usually worship. To break this superstition, it must be bit by bit, like a drop of water and a stone to break their confidence. The yield per mu is one, and the annual output of several thousand kilograms is also one, but this is not enough."
Li Chengqian couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, what are the benefits of this?"
"Of course there are benefits." Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Chengqian with a smile: "Do you like the money?"
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "I like it."
This guy actually had to think about it. Chen Zhengtai had to roll his eyes with contempt and said, "It's not just money, the key is... we need to break these to create a new world, um... I mean... to eliminate the ills of all dynasties, money is a secondary thing. You can understand this."
Li Chengqian actually thinks that the goal is not important. Anyway, he doesn't care about the big deal when watching the fun. He hopes that the world will be in chaos.
This is the greatest wish of young people.
Next, the plummeting grain prices... finally began to make people panic.
At least the Wei family is starting to become a little worried now.
The Wei family has two granaries in Chang'an.
Although grain production has been reduced this year and has encountered disasters, the land in the west of the city has been used to exchange for a lot of food.
How can the Wei family eat so much grain with just a few mouths? The storage of granaries is essentially cost-effective.
And... Once the grain harvest is bumper in the future, especially the promotion of this potato, it is almost foreseeable in the future that more and more grains will be stored.
This made Wei Xuanzhen start to have a headache.
Because he now faces two difficult questions.
Huang Chenggong, who was standing in front of him, said with a sad face: "Owner, the village has urged the owner to make a decision as soon as possible, saying yes... say yes... if he doesn't make a decision early, in the future... I'm afraid... I'm afraid there will be big problems. The food for the next year will not be stored. Moreover... this granary must be built in large quantities, and the manpower, money and grain required... I'm afraid it's not a small amount."
yes.
next year……
What should I do if I collect the grain next year?
Now that the grain prices have fallen to the bottom, the market conditions next year will probably only be worse.
If you have so much land at home and you can grow so much grain every year, and you are reluctant to sell your grain at a low price, you can only continue to store it.
To store, you must build a position immediately, and this... all require money.
Wei Xuanzhen had a headache: "It's better to sell some of the old grain next year..."
"No." Huang Chenggong immediately shook his head and said, "The grain merchants are reluctant to collect grain now, and they are too late to sell it. If they really want to sell it, I am afraid that the price... is not enough for the benefits of hiring manpower to farm?"
Wei Xuanzhen was so angry that he said irritably: "This warehouse is built and it costs money. If it is not built, the grain will rot in the field. After all, it is all the blame for the hateful Chen Zhengtai. If he hadn't made that potato, why would the Wei family be like this?"
Huang Chenggong didn't say anything anymore.
Because he had already planned, Chen Zhengtai was a conspiracy rather than a conspiracy. Anyway, potatoes were made. Is it wrong to promote a high-yield crop?
Now, who dares to say that this is wrong? Once you say it, I am afraid that yourselves will not spare you easily. Even if all the people in the world will have to spit and drown you in one mouthful.
They are doing good deeds!
But if you can't swallow this, I won't plant this potato if you say it's a potato.
But the problem arises again. If you don’t plant it, others will plant it. What will be the result?
Thinking about it this way, you will suffer a loss at all times.
Who would have thought that the farming that could have made great profits is now suffering the heavier it is.
However, although this will face such a terrible situation for the aristocratic races, it will not suffer any losses for ordinary people!
Because they have no surplus food and everything is self-sufficient. Once they can grow potatoes in the future, just a little land will be enough to support themselves.
Wei Xuanzhen took a deep breath and suddenly choked up: "The ancestors left so many ancestral properties, but now... they are going to be defeated by me. Chen Zhengtai... is really harmful. I... I can't swallow this."
Huang Chenggong couldn't help but say, "The boss, there is another thing that was reported from the village."
"What's the matter?" Wei Xuanzhen said sternly, and he raised his eyebrows, feeling that it was not a good thing.
Huang Chenggong said: "I heard that many farmers in the village are making trouble now, saying that the food is not valuable now, and the farm hires them to farm. They hope to use money to hire them without sharing the food."
"They think well. Where is such a good thing in the world?" Wei Xuanzhen cursed.
Now everyone knows that copper coins are valuable because there is a lot of food on the market and there will only be more food in the future. Of course, those tenants do not want to help their landlords collect food when farming, so they naturally hope to use money to hire them.
Although the tenants are stupid, this stupidity is only in terms of long-term insights. After all, they do not study and have never seen a bigger world.
But... in the face of immediate interests, they are still very smart. Now fools are farming for food, so they ask you to give money, brass.
Huang Chenggong said with a bitter face: "Students are afraid that they will cause trouble in the future. Even if they don't cause trouble, they are afraid that many people will escape in the future. Now they are very excited. The few people sent to manage can still maintain the situation now, but once it takes a long time, it will..."
Without Huang Chenggong's words, Wei Xuanzhen's face was already terrible.
OK, all the problems are really entangled.
"Will people still let people live?" Wei Xuanzhen became more and more irritable and cursed: "I can't live anymore."
Suddenly... Wei Xuanzhen suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "My nephew... Wei Jieyi... He said he sold the land... Now he thought about it... it may not be unreasonable."
Wei Xuanzhen thought of that stupid nephew and suddenly felt a little regretful!
If you sell a batch of land at that time and get a lot of money while the land price is pretty good, it may not be a good idea.
That guy looks stupid... but in fact...
"Owner, you don't know that Wei Jieyi had already sold his private property." Huang Chenggong said.
"What?" Wei Xuanzhen widened her eyes.
There are two types of land in the Wei family. One is the clan land provided by the head of a family like Wei Xuanzhen. However, although the other houses are not separated, they will also allocate some land to them. The number of this land will range from hundreds to thousands of acres!
For example, the fourth house where Wei Xuanzheng and Wei Jieyi are located has more than 7,000 acres of land.
Wei Xuanzhen said in surprise: "When did his family sell it?"
"It's not that little madman was caught in the ancestral hall. After returning, he was like crazy, and he insisted on struggling and saying that the land could not be kept and sold. His father Wei Xuanzheng refused, so he wanted to hang himself and seek death. You know, who is the four masters? He treats his son as a treasure. When he sees his son like this, he doesn't care about anything. He actually sells all the private lands of their four families. I heard..."
Speaking of this, Huang Chenggong swallowed his saliva, a little envious: "I heard that he sold it for a good price."
"This beast." Wei Xuanzhen cursed: "He didn't even call me if he sold the land!"
"The owner...this..."
Wei Xuanzhen seemed to think this was inappropriate, so she changed her words: "This little beast, he doesn't feel bad for selling his master's land. But... the most urgent thing is to sell some..."
"No." Huang Chenggong shook his head: "This is not the best time. In the past few days, the price of land has dropped by more than 10%. If you sell it at this time, you will suffer a great loss. What's more, the Wei family has accumulated so much land over the years. This is the foundation of the Wei family's career. The owner...you should think twice."
When Wei Xuanzhen heard this, he calmed down slowly, paused for a while, and said, "Yes, yes, you must not sell it at this time. If you sell it, you will be really unworthy descendants, just like the fourth house. Mr. Huang is really a good word, and I am almost confused."
Huang Chenggong immediately showed his wise appearance. He knew a truth well. In front of his boss, it doesn’t matter whether he is wise or not. If a person wants to find a good job, the most important thing is that he must appear wise.
