Chapter 245: Material Prices Rise

The autumn harvest season has finally arrived, all the people who have land at home have prepared tools, and those who have enough hands will do it themselves, and if they are not enough, they will ask for help or hire someone to help, the price of grain will rise again and again, there is a note from the Zhangjia Distillery there, and a bucket of wheat has risen directly to thirty-five Wen.

Let the other people who are collecting grain miserable, either the Zhang family will collect all the grain, or they will raise the price later, now it's good, all the people who farm a lot have been found by the Zhang family, but the Zhang family has no money, so they have to wait for the autumn harvest to be harvested a month later.

As a result, the price of their own side can not be suppressed, and the people who have food, even if they have not been found by the Zhang family, have learned to be smart, do not sell, just wait for the price to rise, even if the family is in urgent need of money, they will not let go, and the cost of acquisition has been increased by half at once, and there is still no market.

The most annoying thing is that Zhang Zhong led people to grab the grain and put it in Yizhou Changping, only to help harvest the labor money, but not to give the grain, the salary is very small, only ten cents a day per person, even so, those fools who follow the harvest still feel that they have taken advantage, saying that what is the army action.

What is particularly helpless is that the officials of the adjacent state governments of Jiannan Province did not speak up, and they did not stretch out their hands to Yizhou Changping at all, and they all complained about it. Isn't it just a group of officials? Now he's not, as for being so afraid of him?

With the increase in grain prices, the price of livestock has also increased step by step, especially in the autumn when there is less grass to feed, and a horse that used to be a five-dollar horse in the perennial scene is now not available for eight dollars.

The only thing that hasn't changed much is the price of salt, Zhang Zhong has specifically consulted with officials from various provinces around the local area, and I don't know what he said to the officials, the price of salt has been stable and stable, and the same is true for oil prices, which have only risen slightly by less than one percent.

At this time, the whole Jiannan seems to be a small wooden building in the coming tense of the mountain rain, giving the smart people a feeling of shaking.

The merchants who collected the grain had to find the Qi Dong family who cooperated with them again.

"Qi Dongjia, the grain can't be harvested, the price is getting higher and higher, and the people are reluctant to sell." A grain merchant said to Qi Dongjia.

"If the price is high, the price will be high, 35 wen a bucket of wheat, 50 wen a bucket of rice, how much you will collect." Qi Dongjia gave a price equal to Zhang Zhong's.

All the merchants shook their heads, and another businessman spoke: "Qi Dongjia, the same price can't be collected, the people are willing to keep it for Zhang Zhong, and they all say that the Zhang family's baby is fighting desperately on the front line, and he can't chill the hero's heart." ”

"Then raise the price, 40 wen for wheat and 55 wen for rice, wait for me to write a letter to discuss with someone, collect it at this price first, and more money will be delivered soon."

Qi Dongjia has joy and worry in his heart, the joy is that the grain is still high, and the worry is that the things that are mortgaged by fraud are about to come to time, and they originally thought that this money was enough to collect more grain and livestock, and raised the price of Jiannan Road, but now the price is high, and the things that need to be collected have not reached a sufficient quantity.

The plan made above always feels a little wrong, what went wrong?

Qi Dongjia, who was skeptical, couldn't think of it, so he had to write a letter and let people send it away secretly.

Zhang Zhong can also feel the current form of Jiannan Dao, but he is not in a hurry, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, just waiting for the final blow, in this process, some of the people's interests will be lost, but it is nothing, it does not need to be over, and it can be compensated.

As for the businessmen who have received greater losses, then it doesn't matter, the merchants are so smart that they don't understand how much damage their actions will cause to the place? Since you can help the flames with your conscience, you must be prepared to suffer the consequences, and if the merchants in the border land don't clean up, they may be in danger in the future.

Zhang Zhong, who was waiting for things to develop, began to work hard to improve the affairs of the ski resort, and the three of them also followed Zhang Zhong to help, faintly expecting that the Zhang family had not yet told them what the means were.

It's not just Zhang Zhong and others who are busy, Xiaobei is also very busy, the house has changed, the original three-story house is short, the little baby grows fast, put away the house made of agarwood, put it into the big warehouse, and made a three-story house for them with ginkgo wood.

This time, the height of each floor is five feet, and a little higher is the same as the usual door height, just after a short time, the glass is installed, a new batch of toys, and there are protective measures such as carpets inside, and there are no bedding yet.

Xiaobei nine people found straw to fill in under the leadership of the eldest brother Xiaoman, and asked the subordinates to dig a pit under the house.

The straw that was filled in the house was secretly sent to the pit by Xiaobei and them, and one of Qianghu's sons and a daughter were also busy, but unfortunately the two of them spoke late, and they could only say one or two simple words until now, and the expression was not clear.

Even so, Qiang Hu is also very happy, talking earlier than his first two older babies, the eldest one, two and a half years old to speak, of course, compared to the two babies of Zhang Wang's family, it is incomparable, in his mind, this is the father and mother are powerful, and the baby is also powerful.

Only people who know the real situation understand that this is the gap between nutrition and infant education, Xiaobei They have been able to express their ideas with others very well, can understand simple stories, and can interject when others are telling stories.

The maid who was in charge of taking care of them knew that they had stuffed all the straw into the pit below, and at night they had laid it out while they were not paying attention, but they still had to pretend not to see it.

It took two days for Xiaobei nine people to finally pave all the pits with straw, and this day happily pulled the maid to stand outside the house, and they went into the house, closed the curtains from the inside, trotted to the bottom, drilled out, circled outside, stood behind the maid, touched the maid, stared wide-eyed and waited for the maid's reaction.

The maid was still looking at the house intently, and after being pulled on her clothes, she turned her head and was surprised, "Ah! Becky, why did you run outside? ”

"Giggle~!" Xiaobei and the others laughed proudly, shaking their little heads and not saying it, Qianghu's two babies wanted to say it, but they couldn't say it, they were in a hurry.

"Xiaobei, tell me quickly, what's going on? It's amazing. The maid continued to ask curiously.

"Ground, tunnel warfare, ambush, millions of divine soldiers, fighting bad guys with brothers and sisters, do you dare?" Xiaobei said with a small fist.

"Don't dare, don't dare anymore, Xiaobei is amazing." The maid looked frightened.

"Giggle~!" Xiaobei laughed happily again, laughing and laughing, and suddenly his mouth deflated, and said, "I haven't come back yet." ”

The maid also looked dark, and comforted: "It's soon, it's soon, when the little boy and the little lady come back, they will bring Xiaobei something delicious." ”

"Don't, hit the bad guys, come back alive." Xiaobei seems to know that there is danger over there, and there is only one request.

Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao didn't know that their younger siblings had been thinking about them all the time, and they had already entered the desert and stayed in the desert for a day.

The two Tubo sergeants who came with them did not come in, opened a certain range to ensure the depth of the defense line, and while waiting for the supplies behind, they wanted to see when Wang Juan would come out.

Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao are not in a hurry at all, the desert here is not as difficult as other places, there are grasslands, lakes, and many oases, if the two of them can die of thirst and starvation in this desert, it will be hell.

"Xiaobao, I used to travel here, and there are pearls to sell, this is a lake pearl, find more, go back to Xiaobei to play with them, and it can also be used as cosmetics, ah, this is Cistanche, also called Cistanche, fast, picked, a lot, take it back to make food, hurry up and help, don't look at it, they don't dare to chase after it."

Wang Juan, who regarded entering the desert as a tour, found a good thing, cistanche, really wild cistanche, and greeted Zhang Xiaobao who was still looking at the road when he picked it.

"I didn't look at them, I thought, the desert here is good, if one day the railway can be repaired, and the resources here can be used, when will Tubo be completely annexed?"

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the yellow sand in his eyes, felt very comfortable, and came over to pick Cistanche and said.

Wang Juan glanced at the resting soldiers, "You can fight if you want to, economic warfare, unconventional warfare, give me another 100,000 Tang troops, and I will be able to swallow the entire Tubo in two years.

I have to help you, whether it's ***, or economic means, in the end it takes force to maintain, the Jews are so powerful, and the means to make money are good, but they also spend money to hunt down and kill the specific people who killed them in the first place, but they can't destroy other countries, but force is not enough.

The oil country wants to fight an economic war with other developed countries, but the result can only be sent by others to change the regime, I will help you improve the plan and let Tibet lose more. ”

"It's okay, my plan this time can only swallow the money sent by Tubo to operate, if you can lead troops to help, I can hurt Tubo's muscles and bones, war is always the most direct means to solve contradictions."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't refuse, who made him unable to lead the troops to fight.

Wang Juan picked all the cistanche in front of her, spread it on the sand to dry, she herself lay on the sand, squinted her eyes, touched her face and said: "After days of fighting, my skin is not good, I have to go back early to maintain it, what else is there?" You can't come for nothing. ”

"There are all kinds of medicinal herbs, you won't be a temporary truce and let the soldiers help you collect medicines, right?" Zhang Xiaobao turned over the sand around him, found that there were no insects and shelled things, and gave up the plan to find soil snails to cook soup.

"I'm going to take a few days to train the team again, and I've been running and fighting, and I've been working hard, and the next battle is really to see the ability, get up, and move forward."

Wang Juan said something to Zhang Xiaobao, and beckoned the soldiers to continue marching, why should they go to a place where there is a lake first.
