Chapter 287: Food Prices Rise
After this matter was decided, every two days, Zhao Yunling ordered this matter to go down, and now the restaurants in the capital and the surrounding restaurants are all managed by Jiaochan, but if you want to buy food, you still have to let Uncle Zhao and Zhang Wenqiao go together, Zhang Wenqiao has been in the capital since he came back from the north, and now he is going to do this matter.
After Zhang Wenqiao and Uncle Zhao went to buy food, Zhao Yunling relaxed a little, and the rest of the time went out of the palace from time to time, Rong Yan could only relax a little for a day or two, and when those two days passed, he began to get busy, plus there are still things in Yunzhou.
Yunzhou has not come up until now, it is determined to pay attention to the matter of this time, Rong Yan called the melon garden to go to Yunzhou to investigate, and the news from Zhao Yunling's side has come over, and the drought over there has been confirmed.
On this day, Zhao Yunling just took advantage of Rong Yan's busy time to come out of the palace with Cuizhu, and when she arrived at the restaurant, Jiaochan came over: "Miss, you are finally here, I just received the news here." ”
Outside, Jiaochan naturally called Miss.
Zhao Yunling listened to Jiaochan's words, followed them inside, and after entering the room and sitting down, he asked; "What's the news?"
"It's the news from Uncle Zhao and Mr. Zhang, as well as the information we have collected here, that the price of rice has risen in many places now, and those places around Yunzhou and Yunzhou have the most serious price increases."
After Jiaochan finished speaking, Zhao Yunling couldn't help frowning.
"The price has already started to rise?"
"Yes, the price has already increased when the news came back before, and it will take a certain amount of time for the news to come back, and my base, that is, in the middle two days, may have increased the price again." Jiaochan said: "Niangniang, at this time, these rice merchants will raise the price of grain like this, I have experienced it once, and when the disaster is really uncontrollable, and the people have not eaten, these rice merchants will sell these grains at a high price, and once before, when the emperor was still there, the imperial court went to collect the high price of grain, so that the treasury would also lose some unnecessary." ”
"These people really deserve a good lesson."
Zhao Yunling said.
It is inevitable to be opportunistic in business, but in times of crisis, these people who blindly raise food prices and only know how to make black money are too hateful.
"What are you going to do now?"
Zhao Yunling glanced at Jiaochan, retracted his gaze and sat there thinking about it, and then arrived: "Now this matter is not a top priority, those rice merchants coaxed up the price of grain, just press it down, take advantage of this opportunity to put away the grain first, and then send it directly to Yunzhou, otherwise it will be too troublesome to solve this matter at that time." ”
"So what do we need to do?" Jiaochan said.
"Don't worry now, I'll call someone to inform you when I think I'm ready, but I don't need to do anything from here for now."
"Yes."
After coming back from the restaurant, Zhao Yunling told Rong Yan about it, and it happened that the officials who went to Yunzhou from Rong Yan had also returned, and told Rong Yan that the disaster in Yunzhou had already begun, and many people found that the price of grain was on the rise when they began to buy grain.
Fortunately, the official Rong Yan was looking for would have a little kung fu, and when he was chased and killed by the officials over there in Yunzhou, he hid in the woods, and escaped while those people were not aware of it, and was protected by the local people to get out of the territory of Yunzhou and return to the capital.
Rong Yan was furious after hearing this, and directly sent someone to Yunzhou to ask the officials over there for the crime, and then sent someone to take over Yunzhou, but in this way, the disaster in Yunzhou broke out all of a sudden, including the rise in food prices, and these things were also exposed, and Rong Yan had to stop these problems with an iron fist.
On the other side, the king of England had already been paying attention to the movements in Yunzhou before, and after the matter of Yunzhou broke out completely, the king of England called the person who had gone to inquire about the news to come in, and then asked, "What have you found out?" ”
"Lord Wang, the rest is nothing, this matter in Yunzhou has not broken out so far, the emperor doesn't know why he found it in time, so he patted the officials to investigate, and now it is even more direct that the officials in Yunzhou have been replaced, so Yunzhou can't do anything for the time being, but the queen's mother, it was estimated that it was to prevent disasters, so people were buying a lot of grain, and the price of food that was coaxed up was suppressed by the queen."
"The queen has suppressed all these price increases?" King Ying was shocked for a moment, and saw the people below nodding, he came back to his senses, thinking that this Zhao Yunling is really a good skill, it is estimated that he has already gotten the news from the beginning, and he really deserves to be a businessman, at this time, he can find out these keenly, and he doesn't know what means are used to suppress the price of grain.

Now Rong Yan has handled these things very well, and he can't find anything to make a fuss about, but Zhao Yunling did these things, although they were all out of good intentions, but those people didn't know the truth in them, if they could operate it, maybe those people would believe it.
But there are a few things to prepare before that.
When the king thought of this, he asked people to come forward and give orders about these things.
In just a few days, the price of some rice shops in the capital suddenly increased, and even the price around the capital increased, Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan just learned the news, and before they had time to suppress it, it suddenly spread in the capital again, it was Zhao Yunling who deliberately purchased grain at a low price, and now that the disaster in Yunzhou has just broken out, he deliberately raised the price of grain when there was a shortage of grain, and took the grain in the treasury to buy and sell privately.
As soon as such a rumor came out, it was like the wind, and it spread in the capital in an instant, and when I went outside, I could hear people talking about these things everywhere, and what they said was the same, and the two days in the restaurant were not very good, although those people did not dare to make trouble, but there were many people who pointed fingers in private.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhao was still in Tianyuan Town at this time, Zhao Yunling first asked Wang Erquan to go to Tianyuan Town to appease Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao was old after all, and suddenly heard that if he was angry about this matter, it would not be good if he was angry.
Zhao Yunling came outside by herself, went to those rice shops to check, and found that the price of those rice shops really rose a lot all of a sudden, she was dressed up in disguise, Cuizhu pretended to be a scholar and followed Zhao Yunling's side, seeing that the shop in the rice shop was arrogant, and many ordinary people came to buy rice, but after seeing the price, they looked sad.
"Do you like to buy it or not, this is the queen's order, you don't want to think about it, what is the queen's task, and who can change the rules she has set?"
"But this price is too expensive, forget it, I'll go to other places to see." The young man who came to buy rice waved his hand and was about to go out.
Shopkeeper continued: "It's the same when you go to other places, we are now in charge of these rice shops by the queen's mother. ”
"Childe, this person is too much."
Cuizhu frowned, and without waiting for Zhao Yunling to speak, he stepped forward, stopped the young man who was leaving, and then yelled at the shopkeeper: "How are you talking, what do you mean that this is all locked up by the queen mother?" You are doing these things with the chess pieces of the queen mother, do you think the queen mother doesn't know? Talking nonsense with empty teeth about everything, be careful to catch you into the big guy and pull out your tongue! ”
"Little Brother ......"
The young man in the back pulled Cuizhu, wanting to let Cuizhu stop making trouble, after all, they would endure these things and pass, but if they really made trouble, maybe they would really have to suffer a crime.
Cuizhu shook off the man's hand and said hatefully: "You too, how can a big man be so soft and glutinous, and you will believe what others say?" As he said, what kind of character is the queen mother, how could she do such a thing? It is clear that these unscrupulous businessmen took advantage of the famine in Yunzhou to make black money, and they also wanted to take advantage of the reputation of the queen's mother! ”
Zhao Yunling watched from the side, and the shopkeeper listened to Cuizhu's words, and his eyes were flustered for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, stepped forward and said in a tough tone: "Don't talk nonsense about you, this is clearly the will of the queen's mother, if you talk nonsense again, I will call someone from the government to come over." ”
"You!"
Cuizhu was about to speak, Zhao Yunling put the folding fan forward, stopped Cuizhu, and let Cuizhu retreat behind her, she put away the folding fan and took two steps forward, looking at the shopkeeper: "It's just right, I also want to meet the people from the government, you go and call people now." ”
The shopkeeper's face was black and white for a while: "You guys are here to make trouble, okay, I'll call someone from the government to come!" ”
"Go ahead."
Zhao Yunling smiled, and then went directly to the side and sat down, took a sip of tea and frowned, put it aside and didn't touch it, and then asked Cuizhu to pull the young man to sit down next to her, she put the folding fan on the table, and then said: "This brother seems to be here to buy rice, and the price of rice in the capital has indeed risen too fast, which is unbearable." ”
"Eh, but what's the solution, saying that these are the will of the queen's mother, I didn't believe it in my heart before, but yesterday there was a person who didn't believe that he was beaten out of the rice line by the people of the government." The young man sighed.
It seems that the people of the government are also colluding in it, and I don't know who is behind this. Zhao Yunling narrowed his eyes.
