Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Master Meng laughed, shook his head, slowly walked back to his position, sat down, took another sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then explained to passers-by.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Use my own money to let people buy food to eat?" asked Master Meng, who had that kind of heart, nodded straightly, and found that he was not good at doing this, doesn't it mean admitting that Master Meng is stupid?

"No, Brother Meng, that's not what we meant. Who is Brother Meng? Don't we still know! How could you make a loss-making business? If this is the case, how can you save such a large family business?" Boss Li said this, Master Meng nodded, this sycophant was comfortable.

"Indeed, if I were a fool, I would not have been able to save such a large family business. Master Meng said smugly, with compliments on everyone's faces and a cold smile in their hearts.

It seems to be true, don't, I thought we didn't know, you are just a person who keeps the family business, this property of the Meng family, but it was handed down by the old man of the Meng family back then.

"Later, this matter was also simple, do you know how much silver I used to buy food at that time?" Meng Lao also asked, everyone naturally shook their heads, how did they know the details of this? But they were very curious, how much silver did the master use to buy so much military food?

"It's just heavy grain, and it's impossible if the price is too high, I bought more than 300 catties of silver for one or two pounds. Master Meng, smiled and stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of everyone.

In this way, when he first bought grain, he only needed three copper plates for one pound of grain! But what is the price of grain now? Even if they sell it themselves, they can only buy sixty or seventy pounds of grain for one or two pounds of silver! The price has directly increased by more than five times!

"Brother Meng is really a master, I admire him. Old Li also said the same and arched his hand at Master Meng, and so did everyone.

"So you guys follow me, don't worry, you have your sweetness. Master Meng said with a smile, and everyone naturally complimented him, but in fact, there was a faint disdain in his heart.

What about the old grain, it is clear that it is the new grain that the people have harvested this year, which is black-hearted, and it should be bought as pure grain. What a risk it takes to do this, it was his luck that he met a greedy General Lei, if he met Han Yuchen, hehe.

After all, this time the food is too wide-ranging, and many people have already been implicated, so I don't know if this Master Meng will also be unlucky.

Although everyone thought about it in their hearts, they didn't say anything, after all, it was their business, as long as they made money, they didn't care about anything else.

After coming out of Master Meng, everyone was also firm in their determination to hoard food, after all, the Meng family is the big one, and there are always those who are more unlucky than them. After thinking about it, their hearts settled down, and everyone went back to their own grain shops, transferred the grain, and left only a small part to continue to sell at a high price.

Because most of the grain merchants in the entire Northland are waiting and seeing, the grain in the Northland is now showing two extremes. On the one hand, there is the Lin family, whose volume continues to be sold at the previous price, and some of them are some large grain shops, who have directly doubled the price of grain.

After all, the Lin family's daily supply of grain is limited, and even if they buy it with silver, they may not be able to buy it. And what about those who can't buy it?

Therefore, the small grain merchants followed the big grain shops, and they also raised the price of their own grain, but not as hard as the big grain shops. In this way, the small grain shops made a lot of money, but their food stocks became less and less, and the bosses only hated themselves for not saving more food in the first place, and not making enough money.

After all, the price of grain is getting higher and higher, and if they don't go, what should the Lin family do if they buy grain? Therefore, rumors about the price of grain in the north will rise like this began to spread everywhere.

I don't know where the source of this comes from, but the people in the north know that the Yang family is going to rise, and if you don't buy it now, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it in the future. They can't be satisfied with the life-saving food that the Lin family distributes every day, they have to hoard food, because no one knows how far the price of food will rise, and no one knows how long this drought will last?

It is not a difficult thing for people to follow the clouds, but in just three or four days, the people began to become panicked, and one by two, they all ran to the door of the Lin family's grain store, wanting to buy more food, which made the guys in the Lin family's grain store anxious.

There was food in their shop, but it couldn't be sold out at once, or someone would go hungry. So the guys try to be patient and explain to everyone over and over again.

Although most of the people were persuaded to leave, there were still a small number of people who were restless, who refused to leave anything, and who were at the front of the queue every day to ensure that their families would be able to buy enough food.

As a result, there are those who cannot buy food and can only eat high-priced food, so the contradictions are becoming more and more intense, and even conflicts have emerged.

The Meng family was naturally happy to see such a scene, and when the news came, Lin Xi frowned slightly and glanced at Han Yuchen.

"Is this someone making trouble behind his back?" Lin Xi asked Han Yuchen.

"I think there are some businessmen who are restless and want to make a lot of money. Han Yuchen smiled slightly, said so, and took a bite of food for Lin Xi by the way, nothing is as important as his daughter-in-law's meal.

"Since they want to make money so much, then we'll do it for them. Lin Xi smiled slightly and said.

"You can do whatever you like, and if something happens, I'll be in the back. "Han Yuchen's spoiling of Lin Xi has reached the point of being uncontrollable, as long as his daughter-in-law is happy, what if he takes the entire northern land to play!

"Don't worry, I'm measured. Some people you don't beat them hard and don't let them know that it hurts, and they will come to provoke next time. In that case, it is better to solve it all at once. Originally, I didn't want to do this, but they actually sent it to the door, so why should I be polite?" Lin Xi said so, and took a bite of braised pork with a smile, they wanted to eat meat, so she let them not even drink the soup.

Seeing Lin Xi's expression, Han Yuchen sighed, of course, he was lamenting the grain merchants who were about to be unlucky. People should do what they can, so why should they always do things that are beyond their ability? Too much greed is not a good thing. As soon as the daughter-in-law was furious, he couldn't stop it.
