Chapter 418: Truth in Hand, Peace in Heart.
Binh Duong City is along the river, and the river water originates from the western mountains and flows into the sea in the east. This brought great freight convenience to Pingyang City, and also fed countless traffickers and pawns in Pingyang City.
Binh Duong City is not a traditional large grain producing area, and every year during the grain harvest season, there is only an inflow of grain, and there is no reason for it to flow out. But this year, the guys of Binh Duong City Cao Yun have seen a scene that was difficult to see in previous years. Pingyang City was actually transporting grain! After careful inquiry, it turned out that the surrounding counties had ordered grain from Lizhuang.
Speaking of Lizhuang, the people of Pingyang County don't know that it is the private property of Gao Li, the king of Yannan, who uses a kind of machinery called a tractor to drag all kinds of magical machines to cultivate the land, and no one who has been to see it is not shocked by the magic of those machines. It is obviously such a bulky machine, but it is better than ten ploughing oxen! A while ago, many people went to watch the grain harvest in Lizhuang, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt sad in their hearts.
At this time, there are many grain merchants' men coming and going, because this is the time of year to transport grain. However, this year, the grain production of the surrounding counties is not high. Very few are shipped, and the price is on the high side. Because many landlords exchanged their land for cotton in order to seek greater profits. For a time, cotton was put on the market on a large scale, and cotton prices began to fall slowly, while food prices in the world began to rise because of food shortages.
Therefore, under this background, there is grain to be transported out of Pingyang City, which makes many grain merchants feel inexplicable. Then I found out that this was the grain of Lizhuang, and these grain merchants were even more strange.
Lizhuang's grain, even selling?
It turned out that the grain merchants in Pingyang City knew that there was a shortage of grain this year, and they also went to Lizhuang to ask if the grain was taken out, and the reply given by Lizhuang at that time was that Gao Li needed to be consulted on this matter. As a result, the first batch of people who went to inquire were timid, recalling Gao Li's terrifying pricing habits, coupled with the current name of King Yannan, the gang ran back directly. As a result, somehow, there were rumors that all the food in Li Zhuang would be used by Gao Li himself, and no food would be taken out. So after that, no one even asked.
However, while they were still waiting for foreign food, Lizhuang's grain was about to be transported away!
How can this work!
Which stupid pigs came out and said that Lizhuang's grain was not sold!
In less than an hour, several big grain merchants in the city gathered together, and one of them took out a bag of rice, handed it to everyone, and said, "Look, this is the rice produced in Lizhuang." ”
Several people grabbed a handful from their pockets, put it in front of their eyes to distinguish carefully, and then exclaimed: "The grout is full, the harvest is timely, and this will be a first-class good rice in the future!"
When you came, I had already sent someone to Lizhuang to ask, and those foreign grain merchants wanted to buy the surplus grain from Lizhuang, and Lord Gao agreed, and now those people are mobilizing ships to come here to pull grain!"
"What!" one of them widened his eyes, "That's worth it? We don't have enough food ourselves, how can we give it to them! Especially these rices, but they are all top-quality goods, will they eat them?
"That's why I urgently summoned you to come here just to keep our own food in Pingyang City! Colleagues, even if we are intrigued on weekdays, we must advance and retreat together today. My people have already asked, there is not much grain signed in the first order in Lizhuang, and this time it is only the first batch of grain merchants who come, and they can't eat too much, but if they wait until they bring back these grains, the grain merchants over there will see that the price of such good rice is not much expensive, I am afraid that all the grain in the entire Lizhuang will be eaten by them!"
"Say it, how do we!"
"In my opinion, now we will immediately gather the funds in our hands and go to Lizhuang to take down all their surplus grain! When the second-class rice from other counties arrives in the future, these first-class rice produced by Lizhuang will definitely be sold at a good price!"
"That's it!"
As a result, a war for food defense began vigorously.
Gao Li didn't know about the follow-up, but after he heard the news in Yannan City, he sighed at the sluggishness of these Pingyang businessmen, and everyone had already come to your door to buy food, and you didn't even know about our food takeaway.
It's a bit incredible, but it also reflects the name of Gao Li, the king of Yannan, from another side, which still has some weight.
Gao Li doesn't really care who the grain is sold to, as long as it doesn't cause famine, the market will naturally have its own means of dispensing. If there is a real problem, there is still the official family. After all, this year is not a disaster, but a decrease in planting area. Although food is more expensive, it will never go to the point of starvation.
This year's bumper grain harvest made Gao Li's heart happy, which meant the victory of mechanization. With the further spread of mechanization, the area of land that each farmer can manage will become larger and larger. They will evolve from farmers to farmers, and at that point, they will be contracting huge areas of land on a household basis. Then, the grain of Li Zhuang will quickly monopolize the entire market at an incredible price.
That's right, the whole market!
The weather is getting cooler, and the sugar beets of the northern bear demon are gradually entering the harvest period. Of course, Gao Li has not forgotten the agreement with them, of course, if the beet is used to make wine, it will be too wasteful after all. The biggest use of this thing is, of course, sugar. However, if it is developed into a dish, it may become more marketable. Of course, none of this is a problem. As long as the bear demons can be allowed to support themselves, form a virtuous circle, and no longer invade the territory of the wolf demons, Gao Li's goal will be achieved.
Gao Li naturally did not forget his promise to the bear demons, their favorite liquor is made from sugar cane, compared to grain wine, sugar cane wine does not have such a strong aroma, but has a more chilling feeling. But the bear demons don't really care, what they care about is whether the wine is strong or not! This kind of thing doesn't need Gao Li to worry about, everything has been arranged in an orderly manner.
Just when Gao Li thought that everything was going to be smooth, news suddenly came from Shangjing. Yun Qingyang and Yun Wu returned, while the rest of the Snow Eagle Demons were gone, and the sky-breaking warriors sent by the Emperor were also gone.
It was Lu Sinan who sent the news to Gao Li, he was going to leave Yannan, but not long ago, the Eighth Prince came here and told him that the emperor and Gao Li had reached a tacit understanding, and they would not be threatened in the future, so let him stay here with peace of mind. Therefore, Lu Sinan stayed nervously, and after a period of time, there was no danger, and he gradually reintegrated into the role.
Now, he met with Gao Li and brought a letter from the emperor himself. Gao Li opened it, and when he looked at it, his brows furrowed.
"Thank you, I won't leave you to eat, please. "Gao Li Dao.
"The prince is polite, and the villain retires. Lu Sinan hurriedly ran away. Just kidding, it's good to eat, it's good not to eat people!
There is not much information in the letter, only that Yun Qingyang and Yun Wu are both seriously injured, their meridians are broken, and even the top famous doctor in the rivers and lakes, known as the 'living dead' Yi Yiyi, is helpless, and he must let Gao Li go there in person.
After receiving this letter, Gao Li immediately called Noroka and Ling Long to his side, and Nonoka said: "If this matter is true, then it must be going, but I am worried that the emperor is not well." ”
Gao Li nodded and said, "After all, this matter is too sudden, and you are right to worry." However, since I have reached a trust with the emperor for the time being, he probably won't put on such a grand banquet for me. ”
"What feast?" Ling Long and Nooka looked at Gao Li at the same time.
Oh yes, there is no such allusion in this world.
"The red door banquet, the door is bloody, which shows that this trip is dangerous. Gao Li forcibly explained.
"It's okay, I'm with you. Ling Long said.
At this time, Ling Long is a super martial arts cultivator, because she has surpassed the martial pole, beyond the martial arts extreme in the perception of ordinary people, and I don't know what rank she should be called now. But what is certain is that if nothing else, there should be no match for her in this world.
"Of course, just in case, let's take this with us. As soon as Ling Long raised her hand, a green night pearl fell into her hand, and then handed it to Gao Li. Gao Li looked at the open mussel shell in the fish tank and seemed to be able to understand its helplessness. Looking down at the night pearl with a little fishy smell in his hand, he suddenly felt that the truth was in his own hands, and his heart was infinitely peaceful.
