Chapter 1107: Price Reduction

The people who escorted the grain and grass were all soldiers, and the grain traveled from the south to the north, first by cargo ships, and then by ferry, and it took four days to go, and the whole process was escorted by officers and soldiers!

These generals all came from the capital, and they only knew about the situation in the north when they entered the north. They also understood that this batch of grain and grass was bought by Princess Jing herself with dowry silver, and their general Wu asked for a holy decree to help transport it.

The soldiers who escorted the grain and grass had military orders and could not reveal the items they were escorting, but when they saw the expectant eyes of the people and the slight smile of the soldiers, the eyes of the victims instantly brightened.

It's food, sure enough, the eldest lady didn't lie to them, this food really came, and it came so quickly, they were really relieved now.

And these grains did not stay at the gate of the city, after all, it is impossible to really put them outside the city, there are too many. The victims couldn't believe it when they watched the grain being transported into the city, hundreds of truckloads, and the rough calculation of these grains was enough to weigh a million catties.

"With so much food, we have been able to eat it for a long time. One of the victims said.

"Yes, this food is enough for us to survive this disaster year!"

"Great, we can go home!" said someone excitedly, if they will be able to go home tomorrow!

Some of the victims followed into the city, and they saw that all the grain had gone into a large grain store, which seemed to be very angry, and it was very surprising that it could store so much grain.

This grain store was obviously also opened by Lin Xi, and the people of the whole city saw this grain when it was brought in. Then they saw the owner of the grain store come out and put a red piece of paper on the door, which said that today's grain was cheaper than before.

Seriously, although the price of grain in Jinping City was very stable, it had doubled in the course of a year.

If the price of a pound of wheat was about 10 wen and a pound of rice was 15 wen, then since last year, the price of this wheat has reached 20 wen, and this rice has also reached 30 wen.

In this way, it is twice as long, and there is naturally no problem for wealthy people, but ordinary people have to reduce their expenses. You know, it's not easy to make money now, and food is naturally saved.

Originally, the price of grain in other merchants in the city has risen more than the Lin family, and the Lin family's grain store has always been a few cents cheaper than others. Don't look at a few pennies, so that other grain stores have no business. For ordinary people, a few pennies a day is a lot of money in a year.

Because of this, as soon as the price of the Lin family's grain store dropped, everyone had to follow the price reduction, and only when the Lin family's grain store had no grain to sell, they could increase it a little. However, it can't go up too much, because I don't know why, the Lin family's grain store can always have grain to sell.

It is precisely because of this grain store that the price of grain in Jinping City, and even the price of grain in the entire northland, has not really skyrocketed. Because most of the cities in the entire Northland have the semicolon of the Lin family's grain store.

And although the businessmen were dissatisfied with the Lin family, they didn't dare to really do anything to the Lin family. Besides, this businessman who has suffered a little conscience now really wants to make some money, and he has not reached the point of madness. And those who took the opportunity to raise the price of food, Zhou Zhifu did not relentless at all, and directly put people in prison, no matter what the crime, anyway, they had to go to the prison to make money.

It is precisely because of the good cooperation between the Lin family and the Zhou Governor's Mansion that this year, Jinping City is very stable, even the price of grain, doubling is not high.

And the surrounding cities have also spent their lives peacefully, and the entire northland, where there is a Lin family grain store, has not seen a soaring price of grain.

"Everyone take the token in their hand, as long as you have a token, you can buy a pound of food today. "It's a philanthropic person," he said, with a smile on his face.

"The shopkeeper can rest assured, we know the rules, and we will never let those who sell high-priced grain take advantage!" said someone with a smile on his face.

"It's good for everyone to understand, the grain in our Lin family grain store is all transported from afar by the eldest lady, and speaking of which, the cost is higher. However, in order for our people to have enough to eat, our eldest lady not only does not make money, but also loses money, and we can't let people exploit the loopholes!" said the shopkeeper.

The Lin family's grain is sold low, and some people have to buy 100 catties of grain at a time, so there are two, and those in line behind can't buy food.

And these people are not for their own food, many of them are guys from other grain stores, who go here to buy cheap grain, and then sell it at a high price when they turn around, and the people and the Lin family grain store are deeply affected.

Later, Lin Xi came up with the idea that each person could only buy one catty at a time, the so-called purchase limit, so that it was impossible for those merchants who wanted to store grain in large quantities to do so anymore.

Later, some people still didn't give up and hired a group of people to line up, so Lin Xi asked to issue the token of the bamboo, one for each person, and put it away after buying food. Moreover, the pattern of this wooden skewer is different every day, and it is not so easy to imitate it. In this way, those who have to queue up repeatedly to buy food have no way to do anything.

"This is natural, we are all the people of Jinping City, how can we do such a thing that lacks morality!" someone said, with a look of resentment.

"That's right, those people are not good people!" Everyone followed and said, this Lin family is doing this for their good, and these people are still helping those profiteers, which is simply hateful.

The Lin family was selling grain, and the victims felt a little uncertain when they saw it, because the grain was not for them! At this moment, the victims were a little worried.

This grain was given to the people of Jinping City, so what should they do? It is not that they are selfish, but they obviously need this grain more than the people of Jinping City, who have food, drink, and home.

However, they received a lot of help from Lin Xi, how embarrassed they were to ask these words, they were chattering with their families in private, and they didn't dare to really bother Lin Xi.

Cherry smiled at the worried expressions of the victims, and then said to the old lady closest to her: "Auntie, don't be in a hurry to pack up your things, these grains are for the grain store, and everyone's grain is in the back." ”

"Hehe, the girl smiled, everyone is homesick!" The old man naturally couldn't say anything, and the worry in everyone's hearts said so, but Cherry's words had already attracted everyone's attention.

"Don't worry, we have to say hello to the barracks before someone escorts us, and besides, we have to find good carriages and horses, otherwise it will be difficult for us to transport so many things. When this batch of grain arrived, the cart and horse happened to be empty, and they took everyone home, and there was still food behind.

To tell everyone, the grain in the Lin family's grain store is all transported from other places, and this kind of grain transportation must be at least once a month!" Cherry said, and everyone's hearts relaxed.

Yes, how can grain stores do business without grain coming! They think too much!
