Chapter 2579: Chapter 2579: Someone Is Actually Selling Grain

That’s grain, you know. If they could buy it and then sell it at a higher price, they’d make quite a profit.

Especially since those people obviously have more than just a little bit of grain. Look at their stall with piles stacked behind them, and this is just what they can see. Who knows how much grain is in places they haven’t seen?

Stone heard the question from his servants and his eyes darkened.

When the drought continues for another two months, the scarcity of grain will be even tighter. By then, forget fifty or sixty coins, even five or six hundred coins will be achievable.

If they can really buy back the grain from those people, it will be quite an achievement.

“Go back and tell the steward to come quickly to see the situation,” he whispered a sentence in that person’s ear.

“Okay, Brother Stone, I’ll go report to the steward now.”

The person received the order and quickly ran towards the small courtyard’s direction, striving to bring the steward over to see the situation as soon as possible, to prevent the city’s households from all buying and storing grain.

Once the grain is in their hands, it can be sold at a higher price.

…

Before Stone’s subordinate went back to report, Steward Hao had already received the news because there wasn’t just one stall selling grain. Instead, they, like others, had set up stalls to sell grain at various points in the city.

“There are actually people selling grain, and there’s so much of it.”

As the guards came to report one by one, Steward Hao felt disbelief.

When did Guangye City have such a large-scale grain seller? With so much stored grain? He distinctly remembered that the grain in the city’s stores was bought out by his team in the name of Governor Mr. Cai.

“Setting up four points simultaneously to sell grain, did you hear who is behind them?” he asked.

“Steward, we saw the grain sellers and immediately came to report. We do not know who is behind them,” one of them replied.

Another showed a face of shock and looked at Steward Hao.

“Steward, do you mean the people selling grain at high prices all have the same person behind them?”

If that’s the case, how much grain does this person have? If they could purchase all of it, wouldn’t they make a huge profit?

“Does someone really have that much grain?”

“Steward, should we send someone to investigate?” someone asked.

“Nonsense!”

Steward Hao cursed at the guard who spoke.

For such a big thing, of course, he would send someone to investigate. Now it’s only fifty or sixty coins per grain, and soon it won’t be this price.

This batch of grain must be in his hands. Otherwise, if the people have grain, even if they trade water for grain, in the future it will likely be wasted in their hands.

“You all go back first, the person selling grain, this steward will send someone to scout,” he instructed.

“Yes, steward, we’ll take our leave,”

Several people left upon hearing Steward Hao’s words.

“This Guangye City truly has talented individuals,”

Steward Hao squinted slightly, turned to look at a painting in the room, and said in a deep voice.

“Someone come here.”

“Steward, what orders do you have?” A man in Black Clothes asked as he entered from outside.

“Go investigate where the grain vendors are from, ideally find out how much grain they have,”

Steward Hao said.
