But it was only early in the morning, in front of the Dexing grain number outside the Desheng gate, there was already a long queue, and these people who carried a few pieces of broken silver that they didn't know what they had pawned in exchange for looked at the gate of the grain number.

"Hey, I really don't know when this hard day will come to an end!"

"But no, God forbid, don't open the door, the price of this grain has risen again!"

"God forbid, it can't go up anymore, I've finished all my daughter-in-law's jewelry!"

In front of the grain number, the sound of your conversation is all about the price of grain, and these days, the people of the capital can be said to be suffering from high grain prices, but this grain cannot be eaten!

No matter how expensive the food is, you have to eat it, not eat it...... It's going to die!

As for the government's soup kitchen!

It is said that it is given twice a day, but how can it be rotated every time? That thin porridge like water, even if you drink a bowl a day, it's just hanging for your life.

If you want to survive, you still have to buy food, no matter how high the price of food is!

Gotta buy it too!

After waiting for a long time, when the grain store finally opened, just when they wanted to see how much the grain price was today, they saw a sign hanging up in the grain store.

"No rice today!"

When everyone saw it, they all scolded indignantly.

"Profiteer, what a ** businessman!"

No rice!

The so-called "no rice" is just an excuse, selling rice every other day, or selling rice every other day, this is a means for grain merchants to raise prices, and the people don't know how many times they have seen this.

"Oh, old people, look at what you said, there is really no rice to sell in this store, no way, who let Nanmi not be transported in, let's let Jiannu kill a circle here in Beizhili, there are still people selling grain there, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Wow......"

The guy in front of the rice shop, while talking, rushed to accompany the big guy, but everyone knows that it is just a show.

"You ** businessmen, if you raise the price of grain so high, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? With such a high price of food, we still want to continue to raise the price, do we still want to live......"

"That is, if Lao Tzu can't live, you also want to live, believe it or not, Lao Tzu robbed you of this grain number!"

"Robbed it, robbed it and didn't have any food......"

Just as they were shouting, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

"Don't buy it, don't buy rice, the grain from Shandong has arrived in Zhangjiawan, and I will be in the capital tonight at the latest, the government said, one stone and two taels, one stone and two taels, open the grain ......"

At first, everyone thought it was a rumor, but soon there were officials from the government who beat the gong and shouted similar words, and for a while, the indignant people who were still gathered in front of the rice shop asked one after another.

"Is this true?"

……

Since last year, it has been almost four or five months of hard work, and the situation of seeing the sky-high grain prices and the inability to buy food has made many people in the capital, and even the Beijing officials who are not in the flow of money have fallen into anxiety, and the thing that everyone is most concerned about is food, so these people's remarks were quickly spread throughout the capital.

After hearing the news, people felt a lot more relieved, and the crowd around the grain store began to decrease, especially when they saw the notice posted by the government, their hearts were finally calmer.

Bear with me, endure it for another day, and tomorrow you will be able to eat low-priced food!

When the time comes, you can eat it on your belly!

While the people were thinking like this, others were in turmoil,

"Master, master, it's not good, it's rumored outside that Song Xuezhu, the governor of Shandong, has transferred grain to Beijing, and our grain is basically not sold, and when the grain over there comes, we will lose a lot."

In the inner house of one of the grain stores, the director of the Taixing grain store was reporting to the master the news he had heard on the street. As the head of the store, he naturally knew that the master had just bought more than 100,000 taels of silver, which was bought at a high price of almost five taels and one stone!

I was thinking that I could make a fortune, but I never thought that I would encounter such a play!

"How is this possible! How can there be surplus grain in Shandong? Didn't the surnamed Fang say that they collected all the grain in Shandong? ”

Although Master Xu of the Taixing was very anxious, he still felt that there was something strange in it.

"Master, this matter is also strange to the villain, Shandong has not been a big grain province over the years, and it has already broken the sky to get a million stone of grain, this, how can this surnamed Zhu have surplus grain to send to the capital? But no matter what you say, now that the people are spreading it, along with the government, what should we do? ”

The steward's words made Master Xu's brows furrow, and then said.

"There is so much grain in Shandong, I don't believe it, Shandong can conjure up grain, you first find a few people to go to Zhangjiawan to keep an eye on it, and then inquire about the news."

After thinking about it, Master Xu said again.

"I'll go to Fang's house first!"

This situation occurred in most of the grain merchants in Kaifeng City, and almost everyone's reaction was the same, sending men to Zhangjiawan to inquire about the news and contact the grain merchants with good relations to discuss countermeasures.

While most of the grain merchants were panicking, the Fang family, the largest grain merchant in the capital and also the general merchant of the Chamber of Commerce, was not calm, and Chen Tong, as the steward of the grain store, reported the situation outside to Fang Dezheng, the head of the Fang family.

"Master, the general situation is like this, now there are more than 30 boats parked in Zhangjiawan, and the ships are loaded with no less than 10,000 stones of grain, I heard that there are hundreds of boats behind, I am worried, I am worried, I am worried about ......."

When Chen Tong spoke, he stammered, and he couldn't speak, after all, he was the one who took the lead in this matter in the first place. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Fang Dezheng said.

"Don't worry, there isn't so much grain in Shandong, if my guess is correct, it must be that the imperial court has issued an order to Shandong and let them send tens of thousands of stone grain to the capital, just to make us mess up, they are just bluffing! Shandong's grain is in our hands, what are you afraid of? Chen Tong, you go and find Li Delin to come over......"

Just as Fang Dezheng's words fell, his son's shouts came from outside the door.

"Daddy, daddy, no, no!"

Before the person entered the house, Fang Xianqi said loudly.

"Dad, Yu, Yude pressed, according to two taels per stone, open, open to sell grain! Son, my son heard that he, he had already transported hundreds of thousands of stones and grains into the city......"

"What!"

Standing up suddenly, Fang Dezheng opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Chen Tong deadly, his face changed uncertainly, and he screamed for a while.

"It's over, it's over, we're fooled!" Finished!

It's all over!

At this moment, there was not the slightest trace of blood on Fang Dezheng's face, the Fang family had eaten a total of 100,000 stone grain this time, this, this was 500,000 taels of silver......

"Li Delin, the old man, the old man and you swear that you will not be separated!"
