Chapter 2580: Chapter 2580: How Much Money Will It Cost?
If there’s more grain, one person here definitely can’t eat it all, he has to report to the higher-ups and let them think of a way to get money to buy the grain.
Who knows, because of this batch of grain, he might gain favor in front of the master, and truly become valued in the future, isn’t it possible?
…
When Steward Hao arrived at a well where some people were fetching water, there were a few individuals asking questions in front of a grain-selling stall, each seemingly wanting to buy grain to take home.
At the stall were several men dressed in black clothes, who at first glance seemed full of menace.
“So much grain?”
Steward Hao didn’t pay much attention to those selling and wanting to buy grain.
But he noticed the stacked grain behind the stall, which at first sight would make anyone want to go in and buy grain.
“Yes, Steward, they really have a lot of grain. I went and secretly checked; those bags are all full of grain!”
They came to Stone’s stall, which had a ‘flood’ the other day.
Stone whispered closely into Steward Hao’s ear, having just gone over to check himself. To find out if those bags really contained grain, he risked being chased away and went to look at them.
Those who deal with grain daily like them can tell just by patting a bag.
Of course, when he said secretly, it wasn’t really sneaky, because after he looked, he was discovered and rudely thrown out, covered in mud.
Luckily, the soil over there was extremely dry, so it didn’t stick much, and a few pats got rid of the dust.
Steward Hao looked at the grain, and it was impossible not to be envious. This much grain, if it were all theirs, wouldn’t that be great? Unfortunately, it wasn’t theirs yet.
Even if they get it in the future, they’d still have to spend money to buy it.
“So much grain, how much money will it cost,” he said, holding his chin thoughtfully.
“Steward, why spend money? Can’t we just trade it for water?” Stone suggested, they could use water to trade for grain, as they’ve always done.
Why should they spend money when they have water? That’s not reasonable.
However, as soon as he said this, Steward Hao smacked the back of his head hard.
“You fool, you don’t understand anything.”
Steward Hao didn’t stop at hitting Stone; he also gave him a fierce glare.
“Those people have so much grain, do you think they would lack water? People who can bring out so much grain to sell at this moment certainly don’t lack water!”
Lack water? What they want is money, money!
“This… Steward, it’s my stupidity, please forgive me,” Stone, having been hit, didn’t dare say anything but had to apologize.
It seems those people have strong backing, daring to sell grain right next to them, clearly intending to compete with them.
But he didn’t dare say this to the steward.
After all, the steward’s current thought was how to bring all that grain into their own fold.
“Steward, what should we do now, should we investigate?”
“I’ve already sent people to investigate.”
Steward Hao said, once again focusing on the bulging sacks, happy at the thought of soon receiving information.
