Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 504

Just then, the people sent by Qin Yu arrived.

"Sir! They're not grain merchants from the Southern Territory, yet they're selling grain in the Southern Territory. We're here to stop them!"

The merchants said hurriedly.

"Humph! They're certainly not grain merchants from the Southern Territory, but they're here to rescue the people of the Southern Territory. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to you to sell grain, offering a high price of sixty coins per pound. Didn't you say you had no grain?"

"You won't sell, and you won't let others sell. Do you want Your Highness to watch helplessly as the people starve to death?"

The officer scolded coldly.

"this!"

The merchants were speechless.

However, they had no choice but to think that if they continued to let foreign grain merchants sell their grain, their grain would just be piled up in the warehouse and rot.

"Sir! We actually have food, and we're willing to sell it to the people at 25 coins per pound. Please, sir, drive these people away!"

"That's right! We have food in our house, and in large quantities. Please help us, sir!"

The merchants said hurriedly.

"You guys are going too far! We came from afar to save the people, and you wanted to starve them to death. Now that you see we're making money, you're selling at a low price. You're trying to kill us!"

The grain merchants were immediately furious.

If these people had not maliciously hoarded grain, they would not have run so far to sell it. Now that they have suffered so much and just earned a little money, these people want to sell grain at a low price. How could they agree?

"I think it's you bastards! We are local grain merchants, we can sell it however we want!"

"Haha! Even if we take a step back, isn't it shameful for you to come to someone else's territory to make money?"

"Even if you take a step back, aren't you coming to the Southern Territory to sell grain because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is buying at a high price? Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince isn't buying anymore, you're stealing our business. You're truly despicable!"

......

The merchants started arguing directly with the grain merchants.

"Shut up, everyone! Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has allowed these people to sell grain in the city and cannot collect taxes, then there's nothing wrong with them selling grain!"

"But, as grain merchants, there's nothing wrong with you opening your doors to do business. As for the price, that's your business!"

"If anyone continues to make noise, I will arrest them immediately!"

At this time, officials from Fengcheng came with their constables and stopped the quarrel between the two sides.

Afterwards, the merchants left angrily and the grain merchants continued to sell grain.

The officials asked Qin Yu's people to leave and hosted a banquet for them!

They lost the food war completely this time. If they don't please these people, and they cause any more trouble, they will lose their heads.

The same thing happens in every city!

Qin Yu bought grain at a high price, which led to merchants maliciously hoarding grain. The people were grateful to Qin Yu and became dissatisfied with the merchants!

However, the merchants lowered the price of grain to 25 yuan per catty, which did benefit the people. What Qin Yu did not expect the most was that the grain merchants also began to lower the price of grain!

In the end, a pound of grain only cost fifteen cents per pound, so Qin Yu naturally chose to take action and stockpiled another batch of grain, bringing the total amount to as much as 25 million pounds!
