Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 2594: Chapter 2594: Do You Have a Counteroffer?

"Master Ji? Just a mere adviser, yet he possesses such great skills?"

The Governor showed interest in this Master Ji. Someone like that with such capabilities, finding a powerful backer despite merely being an adviser.

And this backer must be formidable; otherwise, where did so much grain come from, and how could it be quietly transported to Guangye City?

"I don’t quite understand where Master Ji acquired such skills. Should I send someone to investigate?" Master Hao asked cautiously.

Of course, he knew the Governor would never let him investigate, as it might ruin things.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the Governor raised his head to stop him from continuing.

"No need."

There’s always a time to investigate someone, but the key issue is the grain.

The master behind him has spent so much effort and time yet hasn’t procured so much grain. Transporting it to the Northern Lands is still a problem.

Yet Master Ji managed to transport two hundred thousand shi of grain into Guangye City.

This capability is certainly not small.

"Then... my lord, should we take the entire batch of grain?" Steward Hao knew the deal was on, and the Governor would surely want to take all the grain.

Upon hearing his words, the Governor took a deep breath.

With so much grain, he would undoubtedly want to take it since there are so many people in the northern territory waiting for life-saving grain.

When there is no grain to eat, they might be willing to buy it at any price.

"100 copper coins, that’s too expensive. Did you bargain?" he asked.

"I did not."

Steward Hao shook his head bluntly.

"You did not?"

The Governor was furious.

That’s money. Doing business without even bargaining, what are you doing?

"Little Hao, can’t you even negotiate now? Is this how you manage affairs in Guangye City?"

"Uh."

Steward Hao was taken aback and lowered his head guiltily.

Even though he didn’t know why he felt guilty, was this really about him not bargaining?

"My lord, it’s not that I didn’t want to bargain, but Master Ji felt emboldened by holding onto the grain, and his attitude was exceedingly arrogant, not willing to budge on the price at all.

I really tried my best, but if we haggled, I’m afraid the deal wouldn’t go through."

"Nonsense! Would I, the Governor, be afraid of a mere prefectural adviser’s audacity?" The Governor, enraged, slammed the table, glaring at Steward Hao.

"This..."

Steward Hao was speechless. Was this just about a mere prefectural adviser?

It’s clear that there were people behind Master Ji, meddling might be possible, but it wouldn’t get the grain into our own hands.

Moreover, it might provoke the people behind Master Ji and cause them to miss out on the grain.

What could he do? He felt quite helpless.

"My lord, there are actually people behind Master Ji," he reminded.

Upon hearing this, the Governor took a deep breath.

He knew there were certainly people backing Master Ji; otherwise, how could a mere adviser acquire so much grain?

"Phew!"

He exhaled heavily.

Two hundred thousand shi of grain, at 100 copper coins per pound, that’s two million and four hundred thousand taels of silver.
