Before the Chinese New Year, Gao Shun made a decision based on the information sent from all over the country, and notified the counties under his jurisdiction that starting after the year, the purchase price and sales price of grain in all counties and counties would be raised by 50 wen per stone at the same time, and thereafter, 30 wen per quarter would be raised to maintain such a growth rate, and by 193, the grain price would double; In addition, it is forbidden to transport grain out of the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and only enters, not leaves.

The four counties under the jurisdiction of Fang Liang should strictly implement the policy; The area under Zhou Fei's jurisdiction can only be sold to Liangzhou, and grain cannot be sold to other states and counties.

Gao Shun's move is to drive up the food price of the entire Han Dynasty and allow the poor people to move to the area under his jurisdiction.

He is not short of money now, he can exchange copper money for grain, and in the future social turmoil, the price of food will only rise, not fall, and he will not lose money. If he buys too much grain, he can exchange it for the system without worrying about loss after a long period of storage.

In order to manage the grain well, Gao Shun divided the labor for everyone, let Zhang Shiping Youzhou's grain trade, let Zhen Yu be responsible for Jizhou's grain trade, and Su Shuang was responsible for Sili, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou's grain purchase; Fang Liang is in charge of Qingzhou; Zhou Fei was in charge of Hedong County and Liangzhou; The Mi family is in charge of Xuzhou.

Gao Shun estimates that this move will definitely require a lot of money to balance market supply and demand in the early stage. To this end, he was prepared to increase the sales of bedding, cotton cloth, and refined salt, and to use the profits earned from these three materials to buy grain, and if there was shortage, to transport money.

Zhen Yu is very supportive, he is most familiar with the Jizhou grain market, and knows how to speculate on food prices, as long as there is enough money, he can easily raise the price of food to sky-high prices.

Su Shuang came into contact with the grain trade as early as the beginning of his defection to Gao Shun, and tasted the sweetness from it, Gao Shun increased the intensity of the grain trade, he was very happy; After all, grain is different from wine, Shanggu Jiajiu has a high profit, only the rich can drink it, the market demand is limited, and food is needed by everyone, if the price change is estimated by Gao Shun, he can definitely become one of the richest people in the Han Dynasty.

Zhou Fei and Fang Liang unconditionally obeyed Gao Shun's decision.

After the Chinese New Year, grain prices in various places were adjusted at the same time, which shocked the Han Dynasty.

Grain sales have plummeted, while the amount of grain purchased per day has increased dramatically.

At the same time, the amount of bedding, cotton cloth and salt was increased to the market according to the plan, but it took a process to exchange all of them for money, and Gao Shun had to urgently send a large amount of money to various places for the purchase of grain.

The sudden rise in the price of grain has little impact on the big landlords and the great families, and some people even secretly rejoice that the price of grain, which has been stable for several years, has finally risen, and they take the opportunity to sell the old grain that has been stored for two years, and if the price of grain continues to maintain the original price, they will also sell it at a low price, which undoubtedly gives them a windfall; Some large households, even the finest grain, have taken the opportunity to sell it, fearing a sudden drop in market prices.

For this kind of low-quality grain, Gao Shun also did not refuse, but the price was lower.

The adjustment of grain prices had little impact on the officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Gao Shun forces and the civilian personnel of the government and government, whose salaries were originally mainly grain, and they could meet their family needs without having to go to the market to buy grain.

People with small families like it in their hearts, and if they sell the surplus grain, they can get more copper coins, which is equivalent to a salary increase.

Dong Zhuo and the Wei family were in charge of the grain trade in Liangzhou, Gao Shun suddenly raised the price, and the price of other states and counties increased together, even if they had no choice, they could only passively accept it, but the number of purchases was reduced a lot.

The sudden increase in the price of grain has the greatest impact on the ordinary people outside the jurisdiction, and most of them are caught off guard, resulting in many families cutting off food, or can only compress the daily rations, which were originally expected to meet the family's food for a month, but now the amount purchased has been reduced; Fortunately, the price is not very high, and it is still within the tolerance of most people, but the days are more difficult.

Originally, Gao Shun also wanted to push glass and tea to the market to balance the balance of income and expenditure, but helplessly, the news from Luoyang made him dispel this idea; Ma Gui even suggested that the sales of bedding, refined salt and cotton cloth should not be expanded for the time being, and the quantity must be controlled and the high-end route must be taken in order to collect more money from the hands of the family and avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion.

Emperor Liu Hong was very vigilant about Gao Shun, his strength was too strong, and he could affect the grain prices of the entire Han Dynasty, which was equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the country and had to be guarded against; In addition, he was full of curiosity about Gao Shun's financial resources, could he be richer than him, the emperor? However, for the time being, he still needs to resist the Xianbei people, and he has to rely on Gao Shun to recover Wuyuan County and Shuofang County, so he can only continue to endure for the time being.

Zhang Rang learned of His Majesty's attitude, and promptly passed the news to the steward of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and quickly passed it back to Gao Shun, asking Gao Shun to keep a low profile and not cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction again.

In addition, some families are afraid of Gao Shun's strength and are more wary of Gao Shun.

There are many big families who estimate that Gao Shun will definitely not do stupid things, otherwise there will be no achievements today, and there will definitely be follow-up actions, so they followed Gao Shun's pace and began to purchase a large amount of grain, which undoubtedly promoted the continued rise in grain prices.

Although glass and tea are not sold to the outside world, it does not prevent Gao Shun from doing preliminary work.

For example, on the basis of making flat glass, craftsmen made rudimentary glasses, glass plates, glass bowls, etc.

The Eastern Han Dynasty popular boiled tea, for Gao Shun, it was more like a soup, which was very unaccustomed; After more than two years of hard work, the craftsmen sent to Huiji County finally succeeded in roasting green tea in the spring of 187, although the quality has not yet reached the level of the previous life, but for the current Gao Shun, it is a rare delicacy.

When brewing green tea, the use of transparent glass cups complements each other even better.

The tea leaves slowly stretch, swim and change in the water, and you can see it very clearly through the glass.

Watch the tea automatically sink slowly, but some first and then later, some sink in a straight line, some linger slowly, and some sink up and down and then fall to the bottom of the cup; Tea absorbs water, gradually unfolds the leaves, showing a bud, a leaf, two leaves, a single bud, a single leaf of the raw leaf color, the bud is like a gun, a sword, the leaf is like a flag; The water vapor of the soup noodles rises with the fragrance of tea, like a cloud steaming in the clouds.

Smell the aroma of tea soup while it is hot, which is refreshing.

Observe the color of the tea soup, or yellow-green and clear, or milky white and slightly green, or light green and yellow...... Looking through the sunlight from the next cup, you can also see the fine fluffy floating in the soup, sparkling, and starry.

When the tea soup is cool to a suitable taste, taste the taste of the tea soup, take a small sip, swallow slowly, let the tea soup and the tongue fully contact, and appreciate the charm of the tea. At this time, the tongue and nose can be used together, and the aroma of green tea and tender tea can be tasted from the tea soup, which is refreshing.

Tea drinking first spread in Taoyuan Fort, won the welcome of Li Qiang, Ma Gui and others, and then, Gao Shun sent people to Tian Feng, Cheng Li, Zhou Fei, Fang Liang, Zhao Xiong, Wen Chou, Yan Liang and others respectively to send a set of glass teacups and a few catties of tea, so that tea drinking gradually became an honor, a fashion, and a culture in the jurisdiction.

Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Xu Rong and others even wanted to use the glass rewarded by the lord as an heirloom, which was a more precious object than a golden bowl and a golden cup.

For the promotion of glass plates, Gao Shun's method is simpler, for each Taishou level to build a greenhouse villa, as a place for Taishou office and reception of guests, I believe that this move can make more people aware of the advantages of this kind of building, to be introduced to the market in the future, it will definitely come naturally.
