Hearing this news, Tong Xue felt a little incredible, and was shocked for a long time to digest the news, and then asked curiously, "It's only been snowing for a day, and Yuzhou is not a hard-hit area, how could it be so sudden." △ ↗ Said "

Tong Xue can understand the matter of cotton, but the price of grain is so outrageous, it is a bit exaggerated.

Shopkeeper Liu sighed, "I don't know where the rumors came from, it's going to be a whole month later, and many places in the north of Yuzhou can't even get out." So the sooner you stock up on food, the better. There are really people who have a few extra money in the family who believe it, and they squat at the door of the grain store every day, waiting for the market to open. ”

Although I don't know where the news came from, but to see who can benefit from this matter from behind, it must be who did it. It's a bit like the old days, when there were some rumors, the supermarket would run out of water and salt.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Tong Xue frowning slightly, and then said, "But these grain stores have some background behind them, maybe they want to make a stumbling block for Lord Xu, if Lord Xu is useful to Liu, I will be duty-bound." ”

Tong Xue sincerely thanked, "Then I'll thank Shopkeeper Liu first." ”

The Zhou family also has a grain store, but in the Yuzhou generation, it is not the strongest grain store, and it is faintly squeezed out by several other grain stores. The reason why it is doing more now is also because Tong Xue needs a lot of food to make wine, mainly to provide food for Tong Xue's side.

Of course, this time the price increase, the Zhou family grain store was not involved, but looking at the messy situation in the city, it will not sell grain to the outside world for the time being, if it can have their help, Xu Wenda will be very beneficial if he wants to stabilize the price of grain in the city now.

Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand, the price of grain has risen, and there are really other grain stores that have hinted to him that raising the price of grain for a while can certainly get a little benefit, but this kind of crooked and evil way, how can there be the benefits of cooperating with Mrs. Xu's wine.

Which is more important, Shopkeeper Liu will naturally weigh it himself, "Madame is polite, some time ago, the owner also came to the news that the distillation method that Madame gave us before is particularly effective, especially after the winter in the north, the wine sells very well, and we are people on the same boat." Nature should support each other. ”

Tong Xuetou felt a little more identified with the cooperation alliance with the Zhou family in her heart, "I will mention this matter to my husband." ”

Shopkeeper Liu knew what was going on, so he got up and left, looked at the gray sky, and sighed, "I hope this disaster will pass as soon as possible." ”

After Tong Xue sent the shopkeeper Liu away, she also stood at the door, looking at the sky that was still snowing, her heart was a little heavy, although she had received many years of modern education, her insights would indeed be more advanced, but in the end, she was just an ordinary person, and she did not become smart because she came to ancient times from modern times, and she still felt a little empty in her heart about the handling of this evil thing.

This panicked in his heart, so he stood at the door, waiting for Xu Wenda to come back.

So when Xu Wenda came back, he saw Tong Xue standing at the door alone, looking at the snow in the yard, Xu Wenda hurriedly walked over, took off the big scarf on his body, and draped it on Tong Xue's body, "It's still snowing, it's a cold day, what are you doing standing at the door?" Is the snow in the south more beautiful than ours, I can see it so amazingly. ”

Tong Xue saw Xu Wenda's face, he hadn't looked at Xu Wenda carefully for several days, he always came back late in the evening, and left very early in the morning, it was only a few days of effort, Xu Wenda looked a lot of weight loss, Tong Xue felt distressed for a while, I wanted to wait for you at the door, but when the words came to my mouth, it changed, "There is a charcoal fire burning in the house, it's a little stuffy, I came out to take a breath, why did Xianggong come back so early today." ”

"If I come back later, you'll be standing under the eaves as a snowman." Xu Wenda glared at Tong Xue dissatisfied, when he put on Tong Xue's coat just now, when he touched Tong Xue's cheek, he felt that it was too cold, and now holding Tong Xue's hand, he felt extremely cold, cold to the bones.

Thinking that Tong Xue is still taking medicine to nourish her body every day, but she doesn't pay attention to maintenance so much, how can a woman's family stand outside for so long, what should she do if she gets cold, so the tone of her words has a sense of lesson, Xu Wenda said sternly, "You are out to breathe, your hands are so cold." ”

"Hurry into the house." Xu Wenda hugged Tong Xue's shoulder, pushed Tong Xue into the room, reached out and took Tong Xue's hand and held it in the palm of his hand, in fact, Xu Wenda's hand was not very warm, after all, he came back from outside, but Tong Xue still felt that Xu Wenda's big hand holding her hand was extraordinarily warm, and some stiff fingers rushed into a burst of warm current, only to feel that not only did the hand begin to warm up, but also the heart was as if it was irradiated by the warm sun, warm and sweet.

Xu Wenda held Tong Xue's hand, put it to his mouth and sighed several times, "You are such a big person, you really can't take care of yourself." ”

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenda, wanted to argue a few words to herself, and finally thought about it, but still didn't say anything, let Xu Wenda talk, Xu Wenda chattered for a long time Tong Xue will not take care of herself, Tong Xue actually feels very happy to listen to it, Xu Wenda is often very busy, she hasn't heard Xu Wenda with a straight face for a long time, and now looking at this expressionless face, with these trivial things, Tong Xue feels that the whole person is going to float warmly.

Xu Wenda felt that Tong Xue's hand became warmer, so he let go of Tong Xue's hand, "You don't have to worry about me, the affairs of the yamen have already been decided, and it will be fine after a while." ”

At this, Tong Xue pouted a little dissatisfied, "Shopkeeper Liu is here today." If it weren't for him, you still wouldn't sue me, and several grain stores would join forces to raise prices together. ”

Xu Wenda curled his index finger and flicked it lightly on Tong Xue's forehead, "I knew that you had been standing outside for so long, because you were hiding something in your heart, sure enough, I already have an idea about this matter, these mercenary people who take advantage of the difficulty to make a fortune, how they rise, I will let them fall back." ”

Tong Xue's eyes suddenly brightened, and she looked at Xu Wenda with admiration, "What solution have you thought of?" ”

"There's no need to do anything, it's not the trickiest problem." Xu Wenda said, "Yuzhou's grain market, in fact, is not short of grain, scarce is expensive, if Yuzhou is really very short of grain, it is not easy to do, but now, only people are taking advantage of the current disaster situation, speculation and high prices, as long as a batch of cheap grain pours in, you can curb the current trend of price increases." ”

Tong Xue naturally knows the laws of the market, and the government's macroeconomic regulation and control can naturally control prices very well, but the problem is that now that it is snowing in Yuzhou, several provinces north of Yuzhou must be more severely affected, and it is impossible for Yuzhou to apply for disaster relief money and grain in this situation.

Even if the application is down, the water far away can't quench the thirst of the near, the capital is too far away, and when the money and food for disaster relief arrive, it may be next year, so now you can only rely on the county government of Yuzhou, but this Zhizhou Mansion looks poor.

In fact, Tong Xue described it as a little optimistic, the yamen is not a little poor, very poor, if you want food, you can take out some, but it is far from being able to fight with a few grain stores, and the grain in the yamen is put on the market, and there is not much splash.

Tong Xue asked with some concern, "But is there so much grain in the granary of Yuzhou?" ”

Xu Wenda headed, "You can rest assured about this, I have found a few wealthy businessmen who are willing to help Yuzhou get through the difficulties this time." ”

Tong Xue asked with some curiosity, "How did you convince them, I always feel that the merchants here in Yuzhou are more difficult to deal with than ours, maybe it's because I have seen more business outside the fan." ”

"Yuzhou granary naturally does not have, but there is a reserve granary, which is the reserve granary for the army to prepare for war, if it is not at the very critical juncture of life and death in the city, it must not be activated. I encouraged a few wealthy local businessmen to jointly build a private granary. Xu Wenda said with a smile, "I will wait with them for this time, I wrote an excerpt to let the saint know their merits, these rich merchants, some are rich, but there is no way to go further in many things, and they will also pay special attention to these things, several major grain stores do not listen to my words and raise the price vigorously, because there are people behind, but there are merchants who do not have a background behind them, and naturally need to be recognized by their identity." ”

Tong Xue frowned slightly, "Our Yuzhou is not the hardest hit area, but this credit, can Your Majesty put it in your eyes?" ”

"You used to be not usual, women frown easily, do you tend to get old, but now you always like to frown." Xu Wenda touched Tong Xue's forehead and smoothed Tong Xue's brows, "What they mean is that this granary has become a long-term granary, if these things are leaned on the soldiers of the three armies on weekdays, Yuzhou happens to be infested by the pirates, and it is also used on the right path." If there is a disaster year, the grain will be released to the people, which is equivalent to an additional grain reserve warehouse, which is not a sum of money over time. ”

Tong Xuetou, if it is really successful, it is indeed worthy of praise.

"But what should I do if there is grain at a low price, as soon as the market opens, it will be bought by other grain stores?"

"When the time comes, this grain will not reach the hands of those who really need it, and everyone will feel that Yuzhou Cheng will not be able to buy food."

"The price of the Zhou family's grain store did not increase before, but the people couldn't buy it at all, and as soon as the grain came out, it was bought by people from other grain stores, so the Zhou family's grain store was temporarily closed."

"I am also thinking about this problem, I plan to follow the approach of other grain banks, restrict purchases, and each person can only buy a certain amount."

"But even if that's the case, those grain stores can send more people to rush to buy it."

"Anyway, there are a lot of them, and they buy all the daily portions, and the effect is still the same."

"How about buying with your household registration?"

"It's a solution, but it won't be too much trouble."

"It doesn't matter if it's troublesome, there are quite a few people in the city right now,"

"I looked at it, and there are many places in the city where the houses have to be rebuilt, otherwise if the snow continues, there is a high risk of collapse. It just so happens that the snow in many places in the city also needs to be cleaned up, so I plan to make a porridge shed, if the people involved in the snow disaster treatment can lead the porridge water for free, by the way, it also shows that our Yuzhou City is not bad for food. ”

"It's a big project, where does the money come from?"

"Naturally, whoever needs to repair the house will pay a part, and the rest will be subsidized by the government, after all, it is not that the house has collapsed, and most of the people in the city have no property loss."

"Yes."

“”

The reason for raising the price vigorously is because there are people behind them, but there are merchants who do not have a background behind them, so they naturally need to be recognized by their identity. ”

Tong Xue frowned slightly, "Our Yuzhou is not the hardest hit area, but this credit, can Your Majesty put it in your eyes?" ”

"You used to be not usual, women frown easily, do you tend to get old, but now you always like to frown." Xu Wenda touched Tong Xue's forehead and smoothed Tong Xue's brows, "What they mean is that this granary has become a long-term granary, if these things are leaned on the soldiers of the three armies on weekdays, Yuzhou happens to be infested by the pirates, and it is also used on the right path."

"Yes."
