The price of rice since ancient times, is extremely unstable, take the Tang Dynasty as an example, Zhenguan in the early years, rice is only two money, more than ten years later, the price of rice began to rise, the lowest rice is 100 yuan, maintained for decades, until the Kaiyuan period, has been the image of the prosperous era, the price of rice has fallen back to about 20 money.

Until the late Tang Dynasty, chaos arose in various places, during the Qianyuan period, the price of rice in Chang'an and its vicinity had risen to 1,000 yuan of rice, not to mention the three years of Guangqi, the war in Yangzhou, there was no grain in the city, and the price of rice rose exponentially, it was 10,000 yuan of rice, and later it reached 40,000 yuan.

It can be said that in the event of war, this rice grain has reached the point where there is nowhere to buy it.

Gao Yang's account books she had a few cursory glances, most of them were the same as the price of rice in the same rice shop, before Zhu Chao mutinied, the price of rice was still the same as usual, and the rice was only twenty yuan, but since Zhu Chao's mutiny, the rice rose to 100 yuan all of a sudden.

She didn't know when Yao Bing saved the white rice, but she thought that it must have been before Zhu Chao's mutiny, and Zhu Chao's mutiny must be said to be because of Lu Qingli, Yao Bing is Lu Qingli's person, and the news should have been learned earlier.

It is estimated from this that the white rice purchased by Yao Bing will only be lower than twenty yuan, and the poor thing is that those merchants who were purchased white rice missed such a good opportunity in vain, and I don't know if those merchants will regret it after the price of rice rises like crazy.

Naturally, even if you regret it, it's useless.

Sister-in-law Wei stayed in Hengtong Rice Shop to help Gao Yang, and would return to this house every evening, and everything about Hengtong Rice Shop was reported to her in detail, such as the price of rice from the beginning of 100 yuan, continued to rise to 200 yuan, and then grew more and more intense, I don't know what the situation is.

At this time, Wang Zheng had been besieging the city for two months, and the food that the people should have in their homes was close to running out, and there were beggars everywhere on the streets, some of them were only one person, and some of them were dragging their families, their faces were like vegetables, their bodies were thin, and their eyes were blank and empty, and this was the consequence of the war.

And since the last time she arrived at this house, she has not gone out, and this situation is still obtained by Hongying, who went out to listen to the news.

This is already the case in the city, and the soldiers who defend the city may fill their stomachs again.

She paused, maybe this is the timing that Yao Bing said!

She was thinking about it, Hongying welcomed a person in from outside, that person was an ordinary appearance, and she couldn't necessarily find it in the crowd, but the cleverness revealed in her eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed.

The little guy didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, stepped forward respectfully, took out a letter from his arms, lowered his head and offered it with both hands, "Lady, this is the letter from the shopkeeper who asked the little one to bring it to the lady, please burn it after the lady reads it." ”

Hongying took the letter from the little girl's hand and handed it directly to Su Fu.

Su Fu opened the envelope, the first thing that came into view, first was Yao Bing's signing, she was not very familiar with Yao Bing's words, but last time she signed the deed paper written by Yao Bing himself, so it was not far from ten.

The letter began to say that it was inconvenient for him to go out now, let alone contact her, so he wrote a letter to explain the matter.

It is said that the 600 stones allocated to Hengtong Rice Shop have already returned to their places half a month ago, and the remaining 1,800 stones have been sold to the dignitaries and nobles of Changle Mansion yesterday, and it is only necessary to let Gaoyang start to open a porridge shed in these few days, but don't be greedy, so as not to arouse the jealousy of the nobles.

The remaining 1,800 stone of white rice was sold for 300 yuan of dou rice, and the income was 5,400 yuan, and after the cost of these 3,000 stones, the net profit was 4,800 yuan, which was exchanged for silver, that is, 4,800 taels.

If it is three or seven points, what she will get is 1,440 taels, but Yao Bing said in the letter that if she is auspicious, she will divide it into an integer, which is 1,500 taels.

This amount of money is not a small amount, and now that the war is raging, he naturally has to raise his light and wait for the matter to subside.

She put the letter in the candle flame and burned it in front of the little guy, and then told the little guy to bring a message to Yao Bing, saying that she knew.

Regarding the opening of the porridge shed, she had already told Gao Yang that she only needed to let Sister-in-law Wei notify her at this time, but she was not allowed to show up, and this matter could only be handled by Sister-in-law Wei and Gao Yang.

As for Su Zhao, she no longer has much restriction on where he goes, just a word of instruction, not allowing him to cause trouble, so he will also go.

Changle Mansion can't be attacked for a long time, but Zhu Chao is not better, he is busy with the war, and Jiang Yan, the head of the household department, comes to report that the war at the city gate is tight, and the surplus food is less than five days.

Zhu Chao made it on the dragon chair, but he added a lot of anger.

Wang Zheng attacked the city, and he couldn't attack it for a long time, but he could only defend it without attacking, basically he was already staying here, and he could stay up for as long as he could, but it was absolutely impossible.

Today's household secretary Jiang Yan stood in line before Zhu Chao mutinied, so Zhu Chao was also at ease with him.

Zhu Chao looked at him with a dark face, "Do you see where else there is a lot of grain in this city?" ”

Jiang Yan frowned, and said cautiously, "A month ago, Xia Guan sent someone to the rice shop in the city to investigate, and other rice shops happened to be in the time of purchase, the city gate was sealed, so there has been no rice, or a few days ago, Yao's tea shop donated all the six hundred stone grain stored in its own house to the soldiers guarding the city, but these six hundred stones for 30,000 soldiers can only support five days." ”

Since the rice shop doesn't work, the only way to do it is to hit these dignitaries and nobles in Changle Mansion.

Zhu Chao had already planned that when he arrived at the morning of the next day, he would definitely take out the pockets of those dignitaries and nobles in the city.

The poor thing is that those nobles, the dozens of stones of grain bought with a few hundred taels of silver were not yet hot, and they were looted by Zhu Chao again, but there were words of suffering, and the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.

At the same time, the porridge shed built by Hengtong Rice Shop in the west of the city was built three days later.

When the suffering and hungry people saw these porridges, they stopped close to the side, and although they wanted to pour the white porridge into their mouths, they did not dare to rush forward when they saw the big man at the porridge shed.

I can only scramble for a long queue.

There are a lot of people in Changle Mansion, and these 600 stones can only last for 20 days at most.

It's just that this porridge shed has been open for three days, but people are not used to it.

This person who is not used to seeing it is Jiang Yan, the head of the household.

When Jiang Yan collected grain for the army, this Hengtong rice shop still came, there was no rice in the warehouse at that time, Jiang Yan also saw it clearly, but did not understand, it was only a month, Hengtong rice shop actually had rice to set up a porridge shed.

Jiang Yan's face was angry, and with a wave of his hand, he took Gao Yang away, and he also had to go to Hengtong Rice Shop to take away the remaining grain, but Jiang Yan's order was ineffective.

There were nearly 1,000 people gathered at the porridge shack, and when Jiang Yan wanted to take away the white rice used for the porridge, he immediately turned red-eyed, and pressed the dignified household Shangshu to the ground and punched and kicked it to relieve the hatred in his heart.

If there is a long drought and the joy of rain, anyone who destroys this joy will become the target of the people's anger and punches and kicks, and the result will be extremely tragic. (To be continued.) )
