Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 253 Bianliang Grain Merchants Don’t Sell Grain

One thousand yang-strengthening pills, one pill of ten taels of silver, is 1 taels of silver, which is converted into RMB to reach 1000 million.

It seems that the total amount is not much, but you must know that Chen Buer has almost no cost, and the money is all his own, so why doesn't he make money if he has money?
And as soon as the Liao country's market is opened, the future orders can only be described as massive, and it's almost like a rush.

The key point is that Zhuangyang Pills are not antibiotics, and this medicine will not save people. If you use too much, it will only make you addicted to women, and you will not want to work, and you will not have the energy to go to work.

The upper-level officials of the Liao Kingdom are all drunk and dreaming. This is also good news for Da Zhou, right?
So trying to earn money from the people of the Liao Kingdom, Chen Buer felt that it could be considered. Anyway, there are plenty of medicines in his space hospital. Many medicines are magic medicines in this era, and he is not afraid that no one will buy them.

You must know that the goods in circulation in ancient times were mainly copper coins, and large transactions were paid with gold or silver, and silver bills (Jiaozi) were also available, but they were generally limited to intra-city transactions, and old acquaintances were required.

Throughout Dazhou, there is no "bank account" that connects the whole country. Universal deposit and withdrawal is a dream in this era.

But in ancient times, in the era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, silver and gold were relatively "shortage" currencies because they were not easy to mine.

If Chen Bu'er obtained a large amount of gold and silver from the Liao Kingdom, he would not spit it out or return it to the past for transactions.

Gradually, there will be fewer tradable currencies in the Liao market, and the economy will fall into crisis. In the end, "vicious deflation" will occur properly. This can contribute to the Great Zhou.

Chen Buer got excited when he thought of this, and felt that he was indeed a reborn person, and that he would use trade wars to hit the economy of other countries, which was simply too powerful.

It's a pity that what Chen Buer is thinking about now is how to calculate economic accounts, but he doesn't have a political account.

Liao's economy is really going to collapse, and there is no World Bank, no International Monetary Fund these days, and Liao has no place to borrow money from international organizations, so what will happen next?it goes without saying.

People have no money, what should I do?Of course it is a robbery.

The surrounding countries of the Liao Kingdom are all poor ghosts, and the only rich country is Dazhou. One day, the Liao Kingdom will definitely invade the south with all its strength, and Dazhou will be really miserable.

Yelu Dedu left satisfied, and brought in a lot of gold as a deposit before leaving, which made Jing Shitang very excited.

Chen Bu'er hummed a ditty and went back to the study. When he was thinking about how to use his golden fingers to quickly become a rich man, Huang Yi also came back.

"Master, I, I won't finish what you told me."

Chen Buer blinked his eyes, a little confused. He told Huang Yi and the others to purchase a large amount of food. It was a waste of money. How could they fail to complete the task?

"What's the matter? You can't even spend the money? You're so stupid."

"Master, those grain merchants are not willing to sell grain now. Apart from retailing, we want tens of thousands of shi of grain at a stretch. They refuse to ship, not even one family."

Ten thousand shi of grain, converted into the weight of later generations, is almost 600 tons, which is equivalent to the load of ten train wagons, and can feed 200 to 250 soldiers for a year.

Of course, the soldiers are all old men with a good appetite, so for ordinary people, 300 shi of grain can feed about 400 to [-] people for a year.

There are still nearly a hundred people in Chen Buer's family and medical clinic. In addition, he has relatives and friends who must take care of them, so he wants to buy more food.

Besides, his space hospital covers an area of ​​more than 500 mu, where food is randomly piled up, and there is plenty of space.

So what he proposed to Huang Yi and the others at the beginning was to buy more than 5 shi of grain.

Now that he has money and no place to buy food, Chen Buer fell into deep thought.

It's a bastard to have money but not make money, unless those grain merchants have formed an internal alliance and are ready to hoard it, causing a shortage of food in the market and taking the opportunity to raise prices.

It seems that this drought is inevitable, and it will happen soon, but I don't know how big it will be.

Chen Buer is not the Holy Mother either. He never expected to seek welfare and find food for the people of the world. This is what the court should do. He is an ordinary person to support the whole world?
This is not the Holy Mother, this is the idiot, is it because I am afraid that the Chai family's knives are not fast enough?
Buying people's hearts is a very taboo thing in feudal society.

It's all right now, people don't sell food, what can you do?If you have money, you can't buy it. Will the gold and silver be eaten at that time?
Chen Buer was a little anxious. His space hospital had 6000 taels of silver to buy ingredients, which were mainly cooked food, and he had already eaten a lot during the month of fleeing in Liaodong.

Now that I have no food in hand, I feel panicked.

Suddenly, he thought of an idea: "Huang Yi, I've given you a task to investigate where the warehouses of the major grain merchants are. Do you understand?"

Huang Yi lifted his spirits, "Master, what do you mean..."

Chen Buer chuckled: "You guessed right, they don't eat the toast, so let's get it ourselves."

Bianliang City is located in the north. For a huge city with a population of one million, the daily food demand is very large.

However, the grain production in the north is not high, so it is necessary to use the canal to transport a large amount of grain produced in the south of the Yangtze River to the capital.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zhou Taizu Guo Wei established Kaifeng as his capital, which is the convenience of luck.

If the capital is Luoyang or Chang'an, the cost of transporting grain alone will be astronomical.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a famine in Guanzhong, and the emperor had to bring all the civil and military officials, and his wives to Luoyang to "eat". It was because Chang'an was too far away from the canal that food could not be transported there in large quantities.

The places where the big grain merchants in Bianliang City store grain are very easy to find. As long as you go east along the Bian River, there will be warehouses where there are docks. Just ask around and you will know where the grain warehouses are.

In "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", there are migrant workers carrying grain to the warehouse, and a steward next to them is distributing chips to facilitate subsequent settlement of wages.

The next day, Chen Bu'er didn't bother to endorse the book, and ran around for the food and clothing of the whole family. He felt that he was very great.

He quietly took the fat man, the thin man, Huang Yi, and Huang 24 out of Yangzhou Gate, all the way east.

Walking all the way in the autumn, it looks like a son-in-law traveling. In fact, Huang Yi has been introducing whose granary it is and how much grain it has.Whose warehouse is this again, and how many stone grains are there?

Chen Buer also saw with his own eyes a large number of boats leaning against the shore, and countless migrant workers carrying food ashore, which looked like swarms of ants from a distance.

In this way, these life-saving grains are concentrated in the hands of a small number of grain merchants, and behind these grain merchants, there is often a big dignitary that no one dares to offend.

A country that only wants to pluck the wool of the people is actually the so-called "prosperous age"?
