By the time Jiang Pengji began to take measures, the price of food had skyrocketed to more than nine times that of peacetime.

The family has its own granary, which is rich in grain storage, and does not worry about eating and drinking at all, but can take this opportunity to sell the old grain hoarded in the granary at a high price. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, grain prices rose fiercely, and many people expressed their sorrow for this.

Many women wandered in front of the various grain stores, waiting for the food to be cheaper, but they did not want to increase the price every time.

"Alas, if you don't buy it again, I'm afraid I can't even afford a bucket of rice with the little savings at home......"

“…… You can still afford rice, our man broke his leg a while ago, and he has spent all the money in the family to catch medicine for him, and now he slaughtered the only hen that can lay eggs and stew him in soup...... I really don't know how to live this day......"

"I don't know what's going on, why food is so expensive. If this happens, the cubs in the family will go hungry......"

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if they are all hardworking and capable, they have no money in their hands, no food at home, and a few people in the family will be hungry.

The grain shop is not a good hall, where will the price drop because they are poor?

"This world is getting sadder and sadter day by day!" a woman sighed and said, "Some time ago, I was helping to wash dishes in the Chengkou tea shop to earn change, and I heard several military masters talking, it seems that there is a big mess in Cangzhou, and it is close to the river......

The proximity means that there is a possibility that the flames of war will burn here, and it also means that countless displaced people will flee here.

Fighting a war or something, which family is not scared when they hear it?

If his young strong man is drafted into the army, he may have no return.

As for the homeless...... If people reach that point, burning, killing, looting, what can't they do?

It may be more ruthless than robbing a house by bandits, and many women feel trembling just thinking about it.

They have money in their homes, and they can go to the grain store to buy food at this time.

Other poorer families can only go to the mountains to dig weeds and peel tree bark to send, and the food is not as good as the old sows in the pigsty at home.

"Why don't you go to other grain stores......?"

A woman in a dark linen dress hesitantly held the vegetable basket and looked hesitantly at the grain shop not far away.

There are many grain shops in the city, and there is always one cheaper.

"I knew this earlier, I went to buy it early...... At that time, I thought it was expensive, and who knew that the price of food would be higher every day......"

"Isn't it? Before, my family still thought that my hair was long and my knowledge was short, but this year the wind and rain are good, and the food will be cheaper than before, so wait a few days...... It's good now, it's so expensive, and I don't know how to spend this day......"

Several women walked hand in hand, talking without a word.

At this moment, a child in a patched coarse coat ran from the corner of the street laughing, shouting loudly.

A woman raised her hand to stop the child and asked, "Eh, what did you just say?"

It seemed that this was not the first time that the child had been stopped, and he replied very naturally in a loud voice.

"The grain shop in Dogtail Hutong on Zhuque Street is the cheapest, and it is 20% cheaper than other shops. ”

"How much cheaper is 20% cheaper?"

The child shook his head, "I don't know, the owner of the grain store said so, it's two percent cheaper!"

After all, they were just naughty children, Xu Ke knew that those children couldn't remember the price of food, so he simply let them remember the shortest "advertisement".

Several women looked at each other.

"Why don't you take a look?"

Now I can save a penny, even if I go around most of the city.

"Let's take a look, it's not far from here. ”

In a few words, several women had already decided where to go.

In order to attract these customers even more, Jiang Pengji specially divided the area where the three grain stores are located into three parts.

Radiate around the area where the grain store is located, and the "mobile advertisement" hired in this area will focus on calling this grain store.

By the time the women arrived, there was already a long queue in front of the grain store.

Listening to the talk of the people next to me, the price of grain is still high, but it is indeed much cheaper than the few grain stores I have seen before.

"This ...... If it's cheap and not good, will the food they sell have worms...... Or mixed with other ......"

With pointed ears, you can also hear the discussion coming from the crowd.

Someone immediately jumped out and said, "Someone bought two buckets before, and after seeing it, it's white, it's good." ”

There is not only one person who is worried about the quality of the grain sold by the grain store, but after hearing this, he is even more worried.

"That's weird...... Everyone else is rising, but they are falling...... Don't they all say that businessmen are black-hearted......"

A man who was queuing up to buy grain quit and shouted, "What do you know? Don't you know who the proprietor of this grain shop is? But the well-known county guard of Hu County, I heard that there is so much grain in Hu County that it can rot on the ground, so what's wrong with selling it cheaply, don't buy it if you don't like it." ”

"Hey, why are you so impulsive when you talk? How do I know that the owner of this grain store will be Liujun Shou......?"

Ordinary people may not have heard of who Liu She is, but when it comes to the county guard of Hujun, the first impression is that he has money and food, and his heart is good.

With the promotion of "advertising", the long queue in front of the grain store is getting longer and longer, and many people who come late are worried that they can't buy food.

Outside the crowd, Jiang Pengji and Xu Ke sat in the carriage.

The latter looked at the crowd with apprehension.

With so many people buying grain, he was really worried that he didn't have enough food in reserve.

The power of advertising has also exceeded his expectations, and the queue for food is growing.

Jiang Pengji could see his concern at a glance.

"For the people, the price of grain is still too high, and most of them are just waiting and seeing, and will not buy in large quantities, so our grain reserves can definitely last." By the way, the person who asked you to prepare, did you prepare?"

Xu Ke arched his hand, "Back to Langjun, Ke has already made arrangements." ”

"Well, when there are more and more people watching from the grain store, you let those people out. ”

Jiang Pengji's purpose this time was to curb grain prices, not to sell the thousands of stones of grain in her hands at today's high prices.

She not only asked Xu Ke to hire children and ruffians to do "mobile advertising" for the grain store, walking the streets and alleys shouting, but also asked him to prepare a few trusts, which naturally did not fool the people who bought grain, but shook the shopkeepers of other grain stores.

Jiang Pengji put on a price war, creating the illusion that there is no bottom line for grain storage on the first day, and other grain stores will naturally be nervous.

Without the patronage of the people, to whom do they sell the high-priced grain in their shops?
