Chapter 345: Food must be sold at a fair price

Jing Chunxi shook his head. At this moment, he felt that Liu Guangfa was too honest. He seemed to have completely given up and no longer had the shrewdness of a businessman. "It's best for you all to get together and discuss it carefully before making a decision. If you all use your shops, or use familiar faces that you already work with, to distribute the food, you will be tied up in the future. There is absolutely no need for this."

Good things should be done, but Jing Chunxi never wants to drag innocent people into the water and let them suffer unnecessary disasters.

Therefore, we always have to think of a way out for them and try to avoid suspicion as much as possible.

After hearing what the little girl said, Liu Guangfa couldn't believe it anymore. The person sitting in front of him was a little girl. He was full of admiration: "Thank you Miss for considering us. I understand.

Many people have fled Xunyang City, and many houses in the city are empty. The worst that can happen is that we can just change the locks after we use them."

Finally, Jing Chunxi finally understood. He nodded, but still instructed, "Don't let the owner of the house suffer any loss."

Liu Guangfa nodded quickly: "We know this. We try to pick people with clean hands and feet."

Seeing Chunxi looking at him with anticipation, Manager Liu continued, "Many of the farmhands we originally used for hard work like firing the kiln and moving things around were hired from outside the area. We also have mountain folks who dig for us, and they can all be used.

Of course, the shopkeeper and the accountant will also need to use it, but they won't use it openly. Also, to prevent any trouble, we have to mix some family members with the people who receive the grain, so that the grain won't be stolen."

Jing Chunxi nodded, but then said slowly, "You know that many people don't have money right now. Even if the price of food is not high, they may not be able to afford it."

Liu Guangfa nodded quickly: "This untouchable knows that if there is so much food, we are not afraid. We can spread the word that we can exchange them for the porcelain or tea in their hands. These things, even if the people don’t have much at home, will not be lacking, and can always cope with short-term food and clothing.

If that doesn't work, I can work with the shopkeepers in the city to provide some porridge."

In fact, Jing Chunxi had already given him a thumbs-up in his heart, but he still looked at him calmly. Liu Guangfa quickly said, "Don't worry, miss, we will definitely not cheat the people. We will definitely exchange it at the price you mentioned."

Then he looked at Jing Chunxi again with embarrassment and said, "I wonder if Miss will still accept the ceramics I exchanged for?"

Jing Chunxi nodded. She only remembered talking about ceramics and completely forgot that Jiujiang County also had tea, but not as much as Jian'an County.

So he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I forgot to mention the tea. I know you guys are also involved in the tea business. The quality of this tea still needs Mr. Liu to help us check it. We will give you 10% higher than the annual tea price as a reward for your hard work."

She could have pushed the price even lower, but Jing Chunxi didn't want to. The people had already suffered for two years, and if she peeled off another layer, she would be left with nothing. If she wanted to make money, she should have started with the corrupt officials.

Jing Chunxi then instructed, "Every day when we sell grain, we have people patrolling among the people. Make it clear to everyone so they don't harbor any ill intentions, otherwise, your boss will be the only one to suffer."

Liu Guangfa wanted to crawl on his face, and repeatedly assured us, "I absolutely wouldn't dare. You guys have done this and let us earn some hard-earned money. You've become our adopted parents. If the person in charge dares to have such thoughts, we won't tolerate it unless you punish him."

The young lady has to do so many things in five days and also bring so much food to them. Just think about how many people and vehicles it will take. The task is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than what they have been told.

Now they only need to provide manpower to distribute food, but if they can't do it, they will be really sorry for the people of Jiujiang, and also feel guilty towards the young lady and the kind people behind her.

Liu Guangfa added, "If any of us dare to sell grain at an inflated price or pocket the money, we will be punished by the young lady. We can even behead or drown them in a pond. We will make this clear in advance."

Having said that, Jing Chunxi felt much more relieved.

Jing Chunxi added, "And the most important thing is, where are all your porcelains stored? I have to take my people there to take a look today."

"That's fine. I just want to send someone to notify the other big bosses to come over for a meeting. We can go together. Who do you think you should send?"

Jing Chunxi thought about it and didn't answer him immediately.

Suddenly he reached into his sleeve pocket, took out a small cloth bag, and slapped the coffee table between the two of them with his hand. Suddenly, there was a clanging sound of metal colliding on the coffee table.

Jing Chunxi gently pulled the cloth open. Although Liu Guangfa had seen a lot of gold and silver, he was still dazzled by the brilliance. There were four golden ingots.

"This is a reassurance for the four of you. I don't want to embarrass Master Liu. Without any tokens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize the other three families."

This time, Liu Guangfa didn't refuse at all, but there wasn't a trace of greed in his eyes. He just breathed a sigh of relief and said directly, "Thank you."

With these four gold bars, things will be much easier. I'll have the confidence to handle the other three jobs.

Otherwise, with no evidence, would he dare to say that the person who came to discuss business was an eight or nine-year-old girl? Even if he dared to say it, I'm afraid others would not believe him!

Just now, relying on his own strength and decades of experience in judging people, he agreed to everything in advance, simply because Jing Chunxi promised that the grain would not be taken away until it reached Taoci.

Between people, there are brothers and sisters. Who dares to say that there is absolute trust?

Jing Chunxi added, "Once Jiujiang County opens up, prices in the city will surely gradually drop. If you feel it's not worthwhile to take the gold now, you can return it to me later. The grain will be converted at a good price anyway, so no one will suffer any loss."

Liu Guangfa thought about it and was a little hesitant. After all, it was not his family's business.

Jing Chunxi was not in a hurry, but said calmly: "You four big bosses should meet and decide later, there is no need to rush right now.

Besides, this is not a big deal. You can figure out the specific amount of ceramics and the silver they can be converted into, as well as how much grain they can be exchanged for.

However, someone must be sent to deliver it to the East Gate on time at 9:00 PM the day after tomorrow, and the captain of the guards will come to pick it up in person.

If it can't be delivered by then, I'll just assume you don't want to do this deal."

After saying that, Jing Chunxi put his feet on the ground and wanted to go out.

Liu Guangfa was so frightened that he stood up and said repeatedly: "The person we sent will arrive sooner rather than later, Miss Jing, don't worry."
