"The grain prices in other states have increased, yet they're still selling it so cheap? So you can rest assured, they won't last long. Once the grain prices in other states rise, they'll have to sell it expensively too, then will those disaster victims and people still be willing to buy?"
The man curled his lips in satisfaction as he noticed Xia Mingqun's expression clearly relax, and he immediately added more fuel to the fire.
"The court's relief funds amount to only fifty thousand taels, coupled with the silver everyone has donated, how much grain can be bought? As long as the grain prices rise, we can completely afford to wait it out. Not to mention, among that silver there's the disaster victims' wages and the silver for redirecting the river embankment, soon Mr. Gu will find himself struggling to cover expenses."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingqun's heart relaxed instantly. Indeed! What Qin Shengting said made sense.
The Xia Family has plenty of silver, they can afford to wait.
