Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

Early in the morning of the next day, hundreds of wealthy businessmen gathered outside Taiyuan City!

They received the letter from the governor Chu Xiong, so they naturally did not dare to neglect it and came to wait outside the city early! Looking at the military camp outside the city, they were uneasy, not knowing the governor's intentions!

Ye Haoran, dressed in white, walked up to the group of people, followed by Yang Wei and Wu Zhang!

"Greetings to all the shopkeepers in Taiyuan! I am Ye Haoran, and I invited you all here today because I want to do some business with you!"

As soon as Ye Haoran finished speaking, the faces of hundreds of people suddenly became gloomy. They were all smart people and naturally understood that they would be the ones who would suffer if they did business with officials!

Seeing everyone's careful thoughts, Ye Haoran continued:

"Don't worry, everyone. Just make the profits you deserve. But if you are too greedy, you might end up in trouble!" He used both kindness and force, and the merchants looked at each other in bewilderment!

"Sir, what kind of business do you want to do?" an old man in gorgeous clothes asked cautiously!

"It's actually very simple. I have 10,000 taels of gold granted by the emperor that can be exchanged for silver! The ratio is 1 to 10! Who is willing?"

A dozen merchants stepped forward hesitantly. The exchange rate of the imperial gold in the market was about 1 to 11! This business was profitable!

Ye Haoran ordered people to take the gold from the carriage and let these dozen merchants check it first!

After the inspection was completed, more than a dozen people returned to the city to get the silver!

Ye Haoran continued:

"Excuse me, everyone. How much is the price of rice per dan in Taiyuan City now?"

"About one hundred and eighty wen!"

"Well then! I'll give you two hundred coins and hope you can help me buy rice! The more the better!"

It turned out that this young man wanted to raise military rations! All the merchants put aside their worries and hurried to the grain store in the city!

Making twenty cents from one stone of rice is higher than exchanging silver for gold!

Seeing that the merchants agreed to leave, Ye Haoran turned to Li Xian and said:

"Master Li, please find some clerks to help keep the accounts!"

"Don't worry, Marshal Ye, I will do it right away!" Li Xian agreed!

Just like that, the price of rice in the entire Taiyuan city rose rapidly. After Ye Haoran purchased 200,000 dan of rice, the price of rice also rose from 180 wen to 195 wen. Excluding labor costs, the profit was already very low! Ye Haoran also stopped purchasing!

There were a few unscrupulous merchants who mixed moldy and spoiled rice into the food. Chu Xiong found out and punished them with thirty military sticks! After that, everyone put away their little tricks!

In one day, 10,000 taels of gold were exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver, of which 50,000 taels of silver were exchanged for 200,000 dan of rice!

"General Yang, General Wu, each of you send 100 cavalrymen to notify the refugees within a 100-mile radius of Taiyuan City to collect rice outside Taiyuan City tomorrow!"

"Yes, sir!" The two of them took the order and went to make arrangements!

at night!

In the military tent, Taiyuan Governor Chu Xiong, Fu Mu Li Xian, Zhechouwei commanders Yang Wei, Wu Zhang and Ye Haoran were sitting around the table!

"Thanks to all of you for your help today! I would like to thank you all here!" Ye Haoran picked up the wine bowl and drank it all!

"Marshal Ye is a man of great benevolence and righteousness. We are just doing our best! I'm glad Marshal Ye doesn't despise us! Hahaha!" Chu Xiong is a generous man! He picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Ye Haoran!

Yang Wei and Wu Zhang were both military men, so naturally they didn't mind drinking with each other!

Li Xian was a little reserved at first, but after three rounds of drinking, he completely let go! He admired Ye Haoran's actions from the bottom of his heart, but his education since childhood told him that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall!

He is like most people, cautious and trying hard to live!
