Chapter 807 - 217 Chen Jie: Laugh, you will soon be unable to laugh_6
Chen Jie pondered this, took a sip of tea from the table, and Yelu looked at Chen Jie, always feeling this fellow was scheming against him!
But he didn’t know what Chen Jie was scheming after all, he frowned, but soon he spoke: "Chen Jie, you just said you have nearly 200,000 Stones of grain stored?"
Chen Jie replied: "About that, what guidance does Lord Yelu have?"
Yelu said: "Then why don’t you open it for sale, but limit the amount of grain each person can buy?"
Chen Jie replied: "Lord Yelu, isn’t it obvious? I’m afraid someone will take advantage of me. If I don’t set limits and sell grain on a large scale, I think someone might buy it all up and resell it at a higher price to the common people, and ultimately, they would still be eating expensive grain."
"Also, Mianshui County is currently in short supply of at least 300,000 Stones of grain, everyone should be aware of this, and I only have 200,000 Stones, which isn’t enough, if I sell without limits, wealthy families might hoard grain, and the common people still won’t be able to afford it."
"Therefore, at Antai Grain Store, we only sell two jin of rice per household per day, to effectively prevent anyone from hoarding and cornering the market."
Zhao Ya, listening on the side, said: "Good, Guild Leader Chen, you truly have great wisdom."
Hearing this, Yelu looked at Chen Jie and said: "Guild Leader Chen, with so much grain, where is it stored? Could it be washed away by water?"
Chen Jie replied: "It’s in the highest east warehouse, where water can’t get in, it’s a great place to store grain!"
Everyone hearing this said in unison: "Guild Leader Chen is indeed farsighted."
