C247 Indulge
On the Green Mountain Manor.
After the discussion was completed, each family sent out their stewards to bring a large amount of banknotes to the various Buping House to carry out the final purchase of grain in their hearts.
It was different from the past. Throughout the entire process, whether it was the payment or the payment, they were all extremely excited, as if there was a great opportunity for them to develop their plans.
The managers took the money and went down the mountain. Behind them were the excited and expectant gazes of the various Patriarchs and Patriarchs. No one chose to leave. They all waited here for the managers to reply.
After waiting for a long time, the stewards hurried back.
"How is it? Did Buping House agree?"
The patriarch of the Tang Family, Tang Chen, immediately asked.
"If we return to the family, the patriarch. . . "
The steward took a deep breath and said, "Buping House didn't agree to this deal. They said they were short on food and couldn't sell it to us at such a price. If they really want to sell it. . . "
"What do you think?"
Tang Chen frowned and asked immediately.
. . . "I need more money. "
The manager replied, "It was originally fifteen taels of silver per catty of grain, but now it's going to rise to twenty taels of silver per catty of grain. Now, all the managers are waiting for news from below. Master, are we still going to buy it?"
“. . . ”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Their expressions were very complicated, and they felt like they could not hold back the urge to curse.
They had been waiting on this mountain for such a long time. Their hearts were surging with excitement.
In the end, after waiting for such a long time, they were told that they were going to pay more. It really made them want to greet the ancestors of Buping House.
However, Liu Hanshan's face revealed a faint smile and said, "My brothers, the reason why Buping House made such a decision is precisely because they don't have any rations left, right?"
"But it's a little too much to increase the price by five taels of silver in such a short period of time. Originally, they only needed forty and fifty million taels of silver to buy thirty million kilograms of food, but now they needed thirty million taels of silver. A total of sixty million silver. . . The extra ten million and fifty million silver is not a small amount! "
A family head with a tight budget could not help but say.
Many people around also revealed a troubled expression.
The large quantities of grain purchased during this period of time had truly exhausted the cash flow in their hands.
In order to gather 30. 05million silver this time, they had already been doing all sorts of things to gather and think of all sorts of methods. And now, it was at this critical juncture. To actually need to increase the bid by 10. 50 million taels of silver was really a little too much.
"But we still have to pay this sum of money. Otherwise, if we keep 30 million kilograms of food in Buping House, they can still delay it until ten days or half a month later. We can't afford to suffer such losses. "
The patriarch of the Tang Family, Tang Chen, sighed deeply and said.
"We have to pay for it. "
Sun Zhipeng said with a cold expression.
Liu Hanshan's eyes swept across every face in the crowd. He slowly exhaled and said, "My opinion is the same with Brother Sun and Brother Tang. Everyone, don't make a big mistake because of a small mistake!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the patriarchs and guild leaders present understood this principle. However, when it was time to take the money, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
Not long after that, the steward took the silver he had gathered and went down the mountain once again, arriving at Buping House to complete this final transaction.
As usual, he paid on the first day, and received the goods on the second day.
And on this night after he returned, no one was destined to sleep.
The next day, early in the morning.
At the entrance of the Green Mountain Manor, the stewards pulled a long empty motorcade down the mountain. With great ambition and an imposing aura, they drove towards the Buping House.
Their owners all watched them leave with incomparably fervent eyes, waiting for them to squeeze out the last grain of food in the Buping House and turn the Cangnan Domain into a land of famine. They, who held a large amount of food, would become the only god in this land.
It was late in the morning, and the sun was scorching hot. On the horizon in the distance, many loaded carts of grain drove towards the Green Mountain Manor. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the entrance of the mountain from the mountain road.
Looking at the carts of grain that were more than ever before, Everyone on the scene became excited.
"This is the last batch of grain stored in Buping House. . . "
A patriarch said with mixed emotions. He looked at the mountain of food. He really couldn't imagine what kind of method the Buping House used to obtain so much food in such a short period of time.
But. . . Although it was unbelievable, it didn't matter at all at this moment.
Because they had finally bought all the food in the Buping House.
From now on, the Cangnan Domain would be their world.
But was that really the case?
Sun Zhipeng strode to a steward and asked, "What's the situation down there?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary is out of the ordinary for master. Porridge Providing Shack and the food sales office are operating normally. There are no announcements. . . "
As the steward spoke, he saw that Sun Zhipeng's expression was getting uglier and uglier. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and knew the answer. It must not be what Sun Zhipeng wanted to hear, but he could only tell the truth. Then he added, "Maybe it's because there is no food supply today, and Buping House is not in a hurry to make an announcement. At this time tomorrow, the Buping House naturally won't be able to bring out any food. "
After saying that, Sun Zhipeng's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true.
At this time, Liu Hanshan walked forward and gently patted Sun Zhipeng's shoulder. He said, "Brother Sun, don't be anxious. It will be a good time for us to make a grand plan tomorrow. Hahahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter.
Sun Zhipeng laughed as well.
All of a sudden, the mountain path was filled with all kinds of laughter.
This was bound to be an unforgettable night. Just like the first day they came to Cangnan Domain, a grand banquet was held in the Green Mountain Manor as a celebration.
Ever since they came to the Cangnan Domain, the Buping House was like a huge mountain, pressing down on their hearts.
Now, they had worked together to buy all the remaining food in the Buping House, and had finally gotten rid of this damn mountain.
Now, they only needed to celebrate to their heart's content. Then, when they saw with their own eyes that Buping House would not be able to take out a single grain tomorrow, they could just leave Cangnan Domain with their tails between their legs.
And just before the banquet began, they had already carefully inspected the last batch of 30 million kilograms of grain. They did not find any problems and stored all of it in the granary.
And all of the stored grain in the granary was the same as usual, unchanging.
Looking at the mountain-like piles of grain in the granary, what they saw was not food. It was like resplendent gold, silver, and jewels, wealth and power. It was the groveling of countless lowly people.
That feeling was intoxicating.
But in the end. . .
It was just a dream.0
When the sun rose, the first ray of sunlight would shine down, and all the bubbles would be shattered by reality and by Buping House.
