Chapter 210: Food Prices

"How? Any news? ”

"It seems that he has been targeted by the dog officer. But don't worry, they won't be able to track us down! Those profiteers probably don't know that we are behind the scenes! ”

"That's good! Operate this matter carefully, don't startle the snake! We're going to ........ Well! You know! ”

Someone in the secret room said this.......

......

The time has moved to May.

The flustered time at the end of April doesn't seem to be leaving. It seems to continue to volatilize in the air until it explodes completely.

Chuantou Street, the country's largest economic area, is also starting to be unstable. Many merchants and tooth people are asking people everywhere what it means. And obviously, Qin Cang, who was about to cuddle the grass and beat the rabbit, would not let go.

To this day, all known is that the king is now storming Wallachia. Today Buzeu is broken, tomorrow Bucharest is broken, it seems that everything is fine.

On May 1, the messenger brought news of Qin Fusheng. He had completely swept away all the feudal landlords, redivided the land, emancipated the serfs, and gathered a group of middle-class yeoman farmers with good families as the foundation, and he could be regarded as a foothold in Moldavia.

As for how many people were killed and how much money was robbed, Qin Fusheng did not say it explicitly, and Qin Cang did not ask.

"Order: More Suchava is Suva County, more Bati is Ba County, more Kishinau is Wu County, and more Yasi is Yasi County. Moldavia is San'in. Ren Qin Fusheng is the governor of San'in Prefecture! Discretion! The Kamenets fortress was under Qin Fusheng, and Qin Fusheng had the right to dispatch half of the Cossack regiment. ”

This news, which was supposed to cause a sensation among the whole people, was quickly extinguished in the surging public opinion. People want to feel safer.

"What are they instigating?" Qin Cang asked everyone in the conference room.

"What kind of demands are they eager to stir up?" Qin Cang continued to ask.

Ignorance.

Of course, no one can do it.

"Then keep waiting! Wait until they show their fox tails before closing the net! ”

.......

May and a half.

The war went well in Italy, and the Neapolitans were driven back into the mountains; Wallachia had already been pushed to Argesh, relying on the Wallachians in Qin Fusheng's army to lead the way, and the number of resistance was small.

Therefore, Qin Cang's patience is even greater now. He wanted to know who was going to fight his idea on his land.

"Your Majesty! The latest data! Got it! ”

Pan Daoquan rushed in happily! In his hand is an up-to-date market order. And there is also a year-on-year increase table compared to previous periods.

"We searched the market list everywhere! It turned out that the price of grain, except for sweet potatoes and potatoes, is rising! Barley is up 11 percent, wheat is up 32 percent! Oats also rose by 26 percent! Obviously, we are just stabilizing prices, and the price of food should be falling! ”

Got it!

Qin Cang also thought of this question in an instant!

To be sure, the current Han dynasty is a standard vast and sparsely populated country, with the latest survey of 700,000 Han Chinese, 600,000 Tatars, and more than 300,000 other Greeks and Jews combined. In addition, there were more than 200,000 serfs or something.

Such a population works on the vast black soil, and the yield per mu has reached two stones. That is to say, millions of stone of grain and tens of millions of sweet potatoes are produced every year.

Such large-scale production has reached the point where grain can rot into the granary, how can there be a problem of rising grain prices?

"What's going on~! Hurry up and check! Who is buying grain, who is spreading rumors! Qin Cang said fiercely: "Focus on checking the Han people!" Especially those who are said to be from a family of literati! Damn, how can I say that this method is so familiar, it's really the same as the Donglin Party! ”

Qin Cang had a feeling that it was a group of literati operating things behind their backs!

Pan Daoquan immediately ran out with people. They began to thoroughly investigate the parity warehouses in various places, as well as the various official warehouses for export.

As a result, he found out that these warehouses had been eating grain! Due to the large population of the Ottomans, the food supply was insufficient, as well as the Egyptians, and parts of Egypt were also relatively short of food. Therefore, the official warehouse and the flat warehouse are eating a lot of grain.

And the official warehouse and the parity warehouse are basically in the black soil of Ukraine. There are fewer native ones.

Pan Daoquan immediately returned to the mainland, and after the inventory, he found that the local warehouses were basically slowly starting to put grain in preparation to stabilize prices.

Meng Zhuoyan's face didn't look so good. "Rest easy! Then I will excuse myself and put things in order! ”

This is the scope of Meng Zhuoyan's work, but apparently, Meng Zhuoyan's audit court did not notice the difference in food between the north and the south.

"Ordered the Cao Yuan to deduct the benefits of the public servants of the Audit Yuan for one year. Let's talk about it again. They're about to start exerting themselves. Prime Minister Meng, you go to the warehouse in the north to mobilize grain and prepare to stamp the market! I'm going to make them have no way to escape! Qin Cang said.

Since Meng Zhuoyan didn't realize how amazing the output of the northern farms was, these ridiculous guys must still think that they could manipulate public opinion, control the market, and finally make a profit.

Sure enough.

Not long after, the price of food in Chijing skyrocketed! And the rice grain stores are constantly collecting grain outside, but the news that the rice grain is sold out is hung in the store!

Subsequently, Pan Daoquan investigated and found that all the shops that continued to open warehouses and sell grain were basically robbed by other stores, so that there was no grain to sell!

After this news was confirmed, Taige could basically determine that someone was preparing to secretly manipulate and operate his own grain shop to the leading position in the industry.

Remembering those shops that were secretly making trouble, Pan Daoquan began to wait for their last wilt.

May 21.

Early in the morning, almost all the rice shops in Chijing hung out wooden planks with rice and grain sold out! The price of the rice shop in Chikyo tripled overnight!

Obviously, the behind-the-scenes bosses of the rice shops who are ready to join forces as harvesters can no longer sit still.

They were ready to start setting the mood and building up strength for the final sprint.

"Why is there no food?"

"Where did you put your food?"

People couldn't make trouble in the grain store, so they rushed to the parity warehouse. However, the officials of the parity warehouse are not easy to mess with. On weekdays, they are sharp-tongued, but this time they got the instructions from above, so they scolded the people without stage fright: "Let your mother's bullshit!" You've bought all of our food! Didn't you all sell your grain to rice shops to make money? Go ahead and let those rice shops spit it out for you! Damn you're a shame! ”

In an instant, Chijing seemed to have suddenly changed from a grain-producing land to a grain wasteland........
