Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

While Hu County was busy with infrastructure construction, the grain merchants finally arrived as the county magistrate had been waiting for. The first wave of grain merchants started purchasing grain just two days after the grain price started to rise.

"There's food, look. A large amount of food is coming in. Go buy some." The first group of people who saw the grain merchants entering the city began to follow the grain team.

"Can you sell it to us first? Then you don't have to go in and it saves energy." Someone said eagerly.

"No, no, everyone, please make way. We will deliver the goods to the store soon. We are Su Ji Grain Store. You can go to the store and queue up first. First come, first served."

"Hurry up." When the people who had followed the grain team heard what the leader said, they hurriedly ran towards Su Ji Grain Shop, fearing that they would miss the queue if they ran too slowly.

Soon, another group of grain teams came in through the city gate. They were Li's grain company, and they had even more grain. When people at the city gate saw them, they hurried to Li's grain company, and some ran home to get money and bags.

The last grain team today was from Pang's Grain Shop in the city. When they came in, the crowd began to calm down and went home to get money to prepare to queue up to buy grain.

As soon as the grain team entered the city, the gatekeepers came to the county government office to report that three waves had arrived today, and Magistrate Tian was finally relieved because the porridge distribution had been stopped everywhere this morning.

Now the grain merchants are coming to the city. The county has grain supply again. This is the first wave, and there will probably be four or five more waves of grain merchants coming in later.

"County Magistrate Qian, notify the grain merchants in two days to lower the grain prices. If they refuse to lower the prices, the county government will buy them out at the original price and not allow them to sell at a high price." County Magistrate Tian gave the order.

"It's an adult."

The arrival of the grain merchant finally made Magistrate Tian feel relieved. He was in a much happier mood today and left the yamen early to go home for dinner.

As soon as he got home, he called his daughter to the study. Now, only Tian Xing'er is busy with him at home. The other sons and daughters are busy with their studies and cannot help.

"Xing'er, come and sit down opposite your father. The grain merchants are coming to the county today. In a couple of days, you should set an example and lower the prices of grain in your own grain shops. You don't have to lower it too much, just lower it by 100 wen per stone. I will unify the price with the county magistrate and others, and then we can lower it to the normal price after all the grain merchants have arrived. It is estimated that their latest batch will not arrive for another 5-6 days." County Magistrate Tian said immediately when he saw his daughter coming in with the servants.

"Okay, Dad. By the way, I also want to tell you about our celebration. The food street here will be ready in three days. I will start recruiting people tomorrow. If there are not enough people, I will send my own people. But I don't think this situation will happen. In the past two days, some people have started to ask Uncle Tian Gui about the shop. Our news has also spread, and many people have been talking about it recently. The shop owners on both sides of the street also want to move in."

"Why do you want Tian Gui to do this? Don't you want people to know that these shops belong to us?"

"I asked Uncle Tian Gui to tell everyone that we were helping a wealthy businessman in Beijing do this according to your request. Later, they will send a steward to sign the contract with everyone."

"Well, this is fine, but I'm afraid it won't stand up to scrutiny. Dad will ask Tian Fu to clean up the mess for you. Do you have anyone in Beijing?"

"Well, I asked my mother to buy me a group of people. One of them used to be a steward. He lives in the farm arranged by my mother. My mother has already found someone to teach me the rules. I have also tested his ability before. I originally wanted to put him in my dessert shop as the shopkeeper, but it was a bit of a waste of his talent. Now it is just right for him to supervise both sides. With his ability, he will definitely be able to do it.
