Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

The steward understood Yelu’s intention upon hearing the words and immediately sent someone to notify these people.

Upon receiving the news, Shen Wansan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hmm, it’s only 100,000 stones, so the problem isn’t too big."

The rest of the Suzhou merchants also agreed with Shen Wansan’s wait-and-see policy. It turns out that the handler in Mianshui was trying to deceive them a bit. If they were really in a hurry to sell the grain in their hands,

the market impact at night would have likely caused the grain prices in Mianshui to plummet beyond help.

Now, there is still hope. The other party only has 100,000 stones of grain. So, as long as they wait for this batch to sell out, the grain prices can rise again, and we can still profit.

Everyone immediately regained their confidence.

Meanwhile, local scholars like Zhou Peng from the Beggar Sect and Liu Rong from the Firewood Guild remained unsettled after a shocking night. After all, whether the grain in their hands could be sold at a high price was still unknown!

And when Yelu’s men came to inform that there were only 100,000 stones of grain, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mianshui needs at least 300,000 stones of grain to relieve the famine. 100,000 stones is not of much use; it might not be a drop in the bucket, but the gap is still huge, so the grain prices can still go up.

So they held back and didn’t sell grain overnight, making this night in Mianshui calm and peaceful.

Everyone thought that grain prices wouldn’t change much tonight.
