Chapter 304: Hoarding Food
Generally, the price increase of grain will only happen if the harvest in the field is not good or there is some disaster, but now Feng Shencai has not heard any rumors in the court, but the price of grain has increased inexplicably, which really does not make Feng Shencai not doubt.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, this is all ordered by the owner, if you want to buy it, just do it as soon as possible, or don't delay the people behind to line up, the small shop still has to do business." Although Xiao Er said sorry, he was still very polite, the higher the price of food, the more people robbed him, and at this time, there was already a long queue behind him.
"I'll buy it, I'll buy a hundred catties first." Feng Shencai decided to buy some to see what the situation was, but as soon as he said it, he was rejected by Xiao Er, "I'm sorry, our owner said that you have to buy all of them with a limit of fifty catties per person, what should the people in the back do?" ”
As a last resort, Feng Shencai could only buy fifty catties first and send them to his newly bought house, he observed here for a while, and found that everyone went back after buying ten or twenty catties.
There is no way, although the price of food has suddenly increased, but it is impossible for everyone to pay so much money to buy this rice immediately, and we have to see if it will go down next.
After observing it with a bright face, he pretended to look for medicinal materials in various pharmacies on the street, and then returned to the Wei Mansion empty-handed.
"Oh no, the situation has changed, the price of rice in the capital has suddenly risen wildly, and the price of other things has also risen a lot, I just asked outside, and no one knows what the situation is." As soon as Feng Shencai came back, he quickly found Wei Rong and Bai Feng and told them about this matter.
And Wei Rong and Bai Feng actually happened to be talking about this matter, because Mo Jiang also discovered this situation when he was checking outside, and he had already reported it to Wei Rong before Feng Shencai came back.
"Feng Shencai, you came back just in time, I was just waiting for you to come and tell you about it, someone is buying rice in the capital, but what the specific situation is, what is the purpose, we haven't found out, we don't know who this person is." Wei Rong also told Feng Shencai the news he had gotten.
"So what should we do now? Do you want him to stir up trouble in the capital? If there is not enough food to eat, the capital will definitely be in chaos. Feng Shencai was very worried, "Otherwise, I'll go back and tell Emperor Changming about this matter, no matter what, the capital is also at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there can't be chaos here." ”
"Haha, tell him, I'm afraid he did it, what if you say it, he will think that you are deliberately trying to go against him?" Bai Feng put forward an idea, "If you want me to say, we might as well start first, let's buy it if he buys it, and see what he wants to do in the end." ”
"Okay, anyway, it's useless for me to ask for this money, it's all rewarded by Emperor Changming, and I use the money he gave to buy grain to stabilize his country, which can be regarded as worthy of him." Feng Shencai directly took out all his net worth and handed it to Wei Rong, "Wei Rong, it's inconvenient for me to come forward, I have to ask you to do it." ”
Wei Rong and Bai Feng saw that Feng was so bold, and they both took out a lot of money, and they decided to go to the street to buy rice and grain.
"It's just easy to buy it back, where do we put it when we go back? According to this look, we don't have to buy a little bit, Wei Mansion doesn't have such a big place. Wei Rong had a little headache, he couldn't all the people in the house huddle together to make way for the rice to get out of the room. Lewen
Feng Shencai took the initiative to give up his house, "It's okay, I bought a mansion next door to Wei Mansion, now let it out and put rice grain for you, I can live in Wei Mansion." How about I'll trade a whole house for a room in your house, you won't feel a loss, right? ”
"Hahaha, okay, you are welcome to come and live, my Wei Mansion lacks everything, but there is no shortage of rooms." Wei Rong was also very relieved when he heard Feng Shencai say that the grain could be placed next door to his Wei Mansion, because it would be convenient for him to send someone to guard it.
And Feng Shencai was also very happy, although he took out a large amount of money, but he was not distressed at all, just like he said, anyway, it was rewarded by Emperor Changming, and it was very good to use it for the people, not to mention that he could live in the Wei Mansion openly and honestly, and he was closer to Wei Ruhua.
You must know that he was very jealous of Bai Feng before and had a reason to live in Wei Mansion, and now he can finally live in it himself.
So Wei Rong took the money and told Mo Jiang and Mo Feng that the two of them hurriedly went to the street to stock up on food, buy as much as they wanted, and it was best to buy more vegetables and oil that were not easy to spoil.
The next day, the court rested, and Feng Shencai took Yun'er and Haohao to Xiang Taifu's house in a low-key carriage, Xiang Taifu received the letter, and waited for someone to pick up someone at the mansion early.
"Weichen see the emperor's grandson, the emperor's grandson is a thousand years old." Xiang Taifu recognized Yun'er at a glance, thinking that when the first emperor was alive, Yun'er accompanied him in the imperial study, and these old ministers all knew him.
"You don't have to be polite to Taifu, I am out of the palace in Weifu, and it is not appropriate for everyone to know my identity, please teach Taifu Xiang as an ordinary child, don't worry." Yun'er's face tightened, learning to remember the appearance of the emperor's grandfather.
It's just that Hao Hao was very surprised, he didn't expect that his playmate was actually the emperor's grandson, and he waited until he was in the room, and Hao Hao didn't even slow down.
"You, you are the emperor's grandson? Then I'...... Will we be able to play together in the future? Hao Hao was a little scared, he felt that he would definitely look down on him with such an identity as a relative of the emperor, but he was very reluctant to Yun'er as a good friend.
Yun'er took Haohao's hand and said to him, "Of course we are friends, otherwise how would I bring you to study." Haohao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that if my identity is known by too many people at the beginning, it will easily lead to murder, and I was assassinated by Emperor Changming before. ”
"No, no, I don't mean to blame you, no wonder you suddenly changed the yard, and there are a lot of guards guarding you, it turns out that you were assassinated, how about it? You didn't have an accident, did you? When Haohao heard Yun'er explain this, he didn't have the slightest sense of blame in his heart.
Yun'er was very happy to see that Haohao still didn't have any trouble with him, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Haohao, it's great if you don't get angry with me, I've been hiding it from you, I've always felt guilty, we'll always be good friends! Study together and grow up together! ”
