Chapter 382: The First Food Festival in Yizhou

And the food prices of the entire Jiannan Province, and even most of the Tang Dynasty, began to rise.

The grain in the grain store began to be supplied in limited quantities.

These, of course, are controlled by the five surnames and seven hopes.

Because this involves almost the entire grain industry of Datang, other small families do not have this ability at all.

Of course, the other small families, even those grain sellers, also happily followed these families with the five surnames and seven wangs.

Watching the five surnamed Qiwang families eat bones, they followed and drank soup.

In the face of this situation, Li Shimin and those ministers also felt deeply helpless.

Although they had anticipated this situation and even made countermeasures in advance.

However, after the actual grain harvest fails, there will still be a situation where food prices will continue to rise.

What national interests, in the eyes of these families, are not worth mentioning at all.

In their eyes, there is only the interests of their family.

The lack of food is just another opportunity for the family to continue to strengthen itself.

Not only can they buy grain in advance, but they can also annex large amounts of land cheaply.

For them, the lack of food is just a gluttonous feast for them.

And the most severe place is Yizhou.

Because in other places, it's just that the price of food is rising.

Grain stores began to supply limited quantities of food, but at least there was food.

And what about Yizhou?

The grain store here in Yizhou is directly out of grain.

And in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to buy grain from other countries.

This is not even a matter of how much money it costs, and it is definitely impossible for the people of the five surnamed Qiwang families to sell them food.

Once the food in the hands of the people is eaten up, then the entire Yizhou will definitely starve to death because of the lack of food.

In this case, it is not known that there will even be a riot.

In either case, the King of Shu would be in an extremely dangerous situation.

Now, the five surnames and Qiwang, as well as many officials, the crown prince and Li Tai, are waiting to see the jokes of the King of Shu.

……

The people of Shu are panicked, and even many people have no intention of working.

At this moment, the Shu Wangfu responded.

Next, you can work without receiving wages and directly receive food.

Moreover, it is still to receive food at a low price, and at any time, the price will never increase.

What the?

work, can you actually receive food directly? And is it still parity?

If that's the case, then they don't have to worry about being scared at all.

If other officials had made such a promise, most people would probably not have believed it.

But since it was the King of Shu who made the promise, everyone would not be worried.

The credibility of the King of Shu is absolutely trustworthy.

In the following time, when I was working to receive my wages, I could really receive food directly.

Of course, these grains are some of the grains hoarded in the Shu Palace.

There are not many of them.

Fortunately, the people have great trust in the credibility of the King of Shu.

There are many people who still have food at home, and they are not ready to receive food until the food is almost exhausted.

However, the food hoarded in the Shu King's Mansion is still decreasing little by little.

It doesn't take long to see it, and it's going to be consumed.

But at this time, there is also good news, that is, the crops he planted will be ready for harvest soon.

In August, sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts are harvested.

And in August, Li Su sent out an invitation again to hold the first international food festival in Yizhou.

The Governor's Office of Yizhou announced that this year's international food festival will introduce three new delicacies that they have never tasted before.

Moreover, these delicacies are pure green, additive-free and pollution-free healthy delicacies.

These words, although those rich people can't understand what they mean, feel very powerful.

Well, if they knew the true meaning of these words, it is estimated that they would be able to hit Li Su's green.

If you can't beat the green, it's all considered that Li Su didn't eat the leek box.

And these rich people, when they heard that Yizhou was going to hold the first food festival, and that there would be three kinds of food that they had never seen before, let alone eaten, they couldn't help but look forward to it.

These rich people, but few of them are not gluttonous.

Their goal in life is almost synonymous with eating and waiting for death.

In addition to food and beauty, their pursuits are really not much.

Now they are actually launching three new delicacies in a row, which makes them, how can they not look forward to it?

Of course, like Songtsan Gampo, like people from the five surnames and seven wang families, they are more interested in the timing of the food festival launched by Li Su, the king of Shu.

It was held when the food was about to run out.

If there is no connection between the two, they really won't believe it.

However, why did this Shu King Li Su choose this reality?

What bad idea did he have in his heart?

Anyway, in the eyes of people from families such as Songtsen Gampo and the five surnamed Qiwang, this King of Shu didn't have any good intentions.

……

In the expectation of everyone, the day of the first food festival in Yizhou officially began.

And this time the food festival was held not in Yizhou City, but outside Yizhou City.

Luxury carriages pulled these rich people to the fields outside the city.

This makes these rich people curious and suspicious.

Could it be that the king of Shu is preparing picnics and game?

But what game they've never tasted before?

With such doubts, soon, the group was pulled to an open place in the middle of heaven and earth.

The open space had been cleaned up and covered with a tarpaulin.

There was a large cauldron on the ground, and most of the pot had been filled with water.

This scene can't help but make these rich people compare again.

What kind of delicacy is this?

Is it boiled in water?

Can you really eat the food cooked in this way?

And they didn't even see what the new cuisine really was.

Just when this rich man couldn't help frowning and being puzzled, there was one person in the crowd who couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face.

And this person is Songtsen Gampo who mixed in again.

Songtsen Gampo's gaze couldn't help but drift to the nearby farmland.

Sure enough, more and more farmers began to arrive and start harvesting new crops.

At this time, these rich people finally came to their senses.

According to what the King of Shu said, what they have never eaten and never seen are these new crops they planted?

However, although they have never eaten these crops, can they really taste good when they are boiled in clean water?

All of a sudden, these rich people felt deceived in their hearts.
