After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Chapter 14: Raising the price from the ground up

Mu Qing looked at everyone and opened the box directly.

All of a sudden, all the light in the room jumped here, and the dazzling glass cup lay quietly on the smooth cloth.

Most of these landlords and businessmen had never seen colored glass. Colored glass was popular in the scholar circle of Shengjing. The production of colored glass was low and almost all of it was monopolized by high-ranking officials and wealthy families in Shengjing. It was difficult for colored glass to flow out of Shengjing to other places.

Hu Yin was a big landlord and had seen many good things, but he had only seen colored glass a few times at his friends' houses. He suddenly exclaimed and looked at these colored glass cups in disbelief:

"Liu Li!"

Hu Yin shouted, and everyone present came back to their senses from Liuli's astonishment and changed their expressions.

"I have never seen Liuli, but Liuli is a treasure. Even the emperor likes it very much."

"This is colored glass. I actually saw it today. It is indeed a divine item."

The beauty of the colored glaze was even more dazzling. Once they connected the colored glaze with the things before their eyes, their gazes towards the colored glaze became unusually hot.

Even Huang Rende, who had just been hostile to Hu Yin, couldn't help but be attracted by Liuli.

Before everyone could get a closer look, Mu Qing had the lid of the box closed.

Mu Qing came to ask for food today. She spoke again:

"Glass is highly sought after by scholars in Shengjing. I believe you have all heard of it. Its value is obvious to all. I accidentally got a batch of glass. I want to exchange the glass for grain. It is up to you whether to make this deal or not."

Mu Qing didn't originally want to take out the box of colored glaze, but she had other uses for the money.

She originally planned to trade slowly in the future.

The disaster was imminent, so Mu Qing had no choice but to take it out, but she didn't intend to give it a good price to these short-sighted landlords and businessmen.

Four glass cups sold for five hundred taels in Shengjing, but in Huangxian, Mu Qing dared to sell them for over a thousand taels, double the price to these landlords and merchants.

After all, Mu Qing came here to take away their assets, not to do business with them.

As soon as the price of the colored glaze was announced, the crowd started to make noise again.

Just because these merchants and landlords have never seen colored glass doesn't mean they don't know its price. Although colored glass is indeed in short supply, the price seems inflated no matter how you look at it.

Hu Yin squinted at the glass, and he probably knew what was going on.

This county magistrate doesn't look like a child as his age would suggest.

They have no choice whether to buy this glass or not.

Hu Yin raised his hand silently: "I offer two thousand taels for the glass pot and four glass cups."

"Okay, the glass pot is yours."

Starting with Hu Yin, more and more merchants made bids, but there were still some people who had reluctance written on their faces.

One tael of gold is equivalent to about ten taels of silver, or about 10 strings of coins, or copper coins.

One tael of silver is worth about 1000 wen, and the price will fluctuate depending on the market conversion.

One stone of rice is equal to ten dou of rice, and one dou of rice is about twelve jin. In the Tianchi Dynasty, the price of one stone of rice has risen to around 400 to 1000 or 1500 wen.

But now in Huang County, one stone of rice costs 2000 wen!

No unscrupulous businessman is as unscrupulous as these grain merchants.

Mu Qing used the silver earned by Liuli to exchange for food from these landlords and merchants. She did not hide this matter and told them directly.

Huang Rende's eyes rolled around. He was unwilling to exchange food for the colored glass. No matter how good the colored glass was, he would still have to sell it for silver in the end. He didn't want to go through so much trouble.

Huang Rende glanced at another small landlord who usually served as a vassal of his family, and his dissatisfaction was clearly written on his face.

The small landlord received the master's signal. He had no trading channels and was unwilling to exchange the glass, so he also understood Huang Rende's meaning and started to grumble:

"Liuli is good, but I still want to exchange grain for money. I won't do this business!"

The small landlord and Huang Rende and his group were unwilling to change.

Mu Qing curled his lips.

"Really, that's such a shame."

Mu Qing brought dozens of his men with him on his way to Huang County.

On the surface, these people are not considered to be in the Mu Mansion. Mu Qing has never lacked food and clothing for them. In addition, after several years of training, they are all strong and tall. It is not an exaggeration to call them warriors.

After experiencing the refugee riots, he became even more murderous.

When inviting these landlords and businessmen, Mu Qing asked his troops to "invite" these people's families to come together.

Mu Qing clapped his hands.

A group of soldiers came up, escorting Huang Rende's wife and several children.

Huang Ren De looked at his wife and children in astonishment.

Mu Qing asked his soldiers to remove the cloth from their mouths. Soon, crying sounds were heard.

"you!"

Huang Ren De was furious.

Not only Huang Rende, but also the grain merchants who were unwilling to exchange grain for Liuli looked at Mu Qing with fear.

The soldiers' knives were pointed directly at the necks of Huang Rende's wife and children.

Xu Zezhou was stunned. He originally thought that Mu Qing was planning to have a good discussion with these landlords and businessmen today.

These people valued their own interests very much, and he had decided that if Mu Qing couldn't persuade them, he would step in and help persuade them to allocate food to the people.

did not expect.

Xu Zezhou looked at Huang Rende's wife and children silently.

Sure enough, I underestimated this kid.

Mu Qing was still smiling, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes.

If there weren't a whole county or even more people who needed food to save their lives, Mu Qing wouldn't bother to bother with these landlords and businessmen.

"I'll buy it. I'll pay two thousand taels for it."

Huang Rende looked at Mu Qing angrily, his mouth almost bubbling with anger.

"I'll also offer two thousand taels." Scattered voices were heard.

Mu Qing stopped smiling and looked indifferent.

"Oh? Two thousand taels is not enough. Hu Yin's set is now priced at three thousand taels."

She just stood there, and the words she said made Huang Rende and his group fall into an ice cellar.

"You are raising the price!"

"Yeah, I raised the price, what's wrong?"

Mu Qing's tone was flat, she turned sideways and looked in the direction of her troops.

Seeing that the knife was very sharp, it cut the skin of Huang Rende's eldest son, and blood flowed out all at once.

Huang Rende's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth:

"I have made this deal. I will bring the grain to the county government office today."

Mu Qing took out a stack of papers, on which the details of the transaction were written.

Mu Qing didn't let go of their relatives until everyone present had signed their names.

Hu Yin was the last one to leave. Fortunately, he spoke early, otherwise Huang Rende would have been the one to leave.

Xu Zezhou still watched in silence as Mu Qing put away the receipt. He didn't expect that he had also witnessed a good show today.

He didn't hate Mu Qing's methods. On the contrary, if Mu Qing or Mu Shanyue could control the situation, the people here would have a better chance of survival.

Xu Zezhou left Huangxian a day later.

Mu Qing officially took over Huang County.

Mu Qing was really worried about leaving the affairs of Huang County to her father who studied all day, so she simply took over Huang County.

Huang County has a population of about 8,000 people, which is not large. After obtaining grain from landlords and merchants, Mu Qing quickly issued a series of decrees.

Of course, it was stamped with her father’s seal.
