The two of their masters and servants cried to each other, and Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei walked out without disturbing them.

"Xi'er, I heard Qinghuan and them say that you are sick, but now you are all right?" Except for complaining that Jiang Xi didn't take her out with her at the beginning, Li Xuemei was not really angry, and she also cared about Jiang Xi.

"Alright." Jiang Xi nodded, "Actually, it's not a serious illness, it's just a little cold." ”

Li Yunlan and Qiao'er finished crying, and they heard such a sentence as soon as they came out. Jiang Xi's words were fluttering, sounding as if there was no serious illness, and only Li Yunlan knew that if it weren't for his good health, he would not be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half months if he wasn't in good health.

She didn't open her mouth to poke Jiangxi, but just asked Yinling beside her to take out a list from her baggage, handed it to Qing Huan, and whispered: "Your girl is not well yet, but she is afraid of taking medicine, I secretly took it back from this pharmacy, you go to the pharmacy to grab some for her to boil, and coax her to drink." ”

Qing Huan took it, she knew how afraid her girl was of taking the decoction, and it was difficult for Miss Li to work hard.

After giving the medicine to Qing Huan, Li Yunlan came over and joined Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei in the conversation.

The Yang family, because of the last private detention of people, was arrested by Song San, and now they have been stripped of their official positions, and the main culprits are still locked in the prison waiting to be disposed of. This time, the Yang family is really finished.

……

The autumn harvest lasted for more than half a month, and the grain was almost harvested, because of the reason that the imperial court controlled the price of grain this year, those merchants in the grain store did not dare to reduce the price indiscriminately. As long as they dropped a little, the peasants sold their grain to the imperial court. Not only that, but they are the same price as the imperial court, and most people are willing to sell to the imperial court, who let them pit people too much before.

When Jiang Xi proposed this idea of harvesting grain, he thought that it would take at least a year or two to use it, but he didn't know that it would be used after half a year.

At that time, Jiangxi was thirteen years old, and Li Xuemei had already said that he was a grocery store in the town. The son of that family has been studying for two years, can read a few words, works as a bookkeeper in his own house, and thinks that in the future he can spread groceries to the county seat.

This marriage was in Li Xuemei's own photo. Coincidentally, on the eve of her brother's wedding, on her way back from the provincial capital, the carriage accidentally broke down.

At that time, even the coachmen were in a hurry, they just walked to the middle of the county and the provincial capital, no matter where they went, there was a long distance, and they couldn't walk on their legs.

At this time, the carriage of the grocery store purchased things from the provincial capital and was walking back, when the young man lifted the carriage curtain and saw Li Xuemei at a glance. Then the young man invited Li Xuemei to get into the carriage, and helped to report it in the county seat, so that the coachman and the carriage who were trapped on the road could successfully go back.

In this way, the two formed a fate.

Later, the two met again in the town, because of the relationship of helping to prepare for the wedding, Li Xuemei had been living in Zhenshang during that time, and they both had a friendship with each other when they met often.

Jiangxi's second aunt and the proprietress of the grocery store both noticed the changes in their children, and the two met to talk, and the matter was done. Subsequently, it was the exchange of Geng Ti to set up a family.

When Jiangxi and Li went back to attend Jiangxi's cousin's wedding, they learned that Li Xuemei was also about to have a good time. Jiang Xi naturally teased Li Xuemei, and did not forget to send blessings at the end. Two silver concentric locks, a jade bracelet, and two glass bead ornaments.

Of course, the Jiangxi family's congratulatory gift for the marriage of Li Xuemei's brother and the Zheng family girl was not light, and they directly sent a tailor shop in the town out, and the wine at the wedding banquet was all from their family, and the Li family also sent a quilt sewn by themselves, and a gold ornament and two silver ornaments to Miss Zheng.

After Li Xuemei's brother's wedding, Jiangxi and Li soon returned to the provincial capital, while Qin Hao was still studying in the county seat.

Time flies, it's more than half a year.

At the beginning of summer, it was as if a big hole had been pierced in the sky, and it began to rain heavily.

At first, the rain was not too heavy, but it became worse and worse day by day for more than half a month, because of the rain, there were almost no people on the streets, and many shops in the provincial capital were closed. Only Jiangxi's liquor shop and hot pot restaurant are still open, and business is also good.

However, it is not the merchants who are really worried about the rain, but the farmers who depend on the weather for food.

The rain fell a month before the wheat harvest, and it did not stop for more than 20 days, and the wheat in the field was not easy to find even a good one.

Fortunately, last year, Song San ordered the people of the Wei family to repair the river, and this year there was no big flood. Otherwise, as the year before last, several towns may not be flooded.

It is fortunate that there was no flood, but the failure of the grains made countless people feel difficult.

The people in the countryside who rely on the land to eat have long shown a bitter face.

"Don't even think about a little harvest this year, what can you do?"

If you want to say that the disaster is not counted, everything in the house is still there, and tightening your belt can still last until the second half of the year of corn or rice. The key thing they are most worried about is the rise in food prices.

Last year, although it was said that the imperial court had received grain, it was also said that it would be sold to them at a low price when it was difficult. But many people did not report hope, last year's bumper harvest, the court can buy grain without reducing the price, which has made them very content. This year, it was sold to them at an affordable price as in previous years, but don't think about it.

Almost everyone thought so in their hearts, but when the grain store had just raised the price, the imperial court opened a warehouse.

The price of grain, exactly the same as the price they had bought from the grain merchants, did not increase in the slightest.

For a while, many people rushed over to buy food.

However, this time is different from before, the most obvious thing is that the price on the grain merchant's side has not been suppressed, but there is still room for rise, even if no one goes to their shop to buy it, it is like this, so that many people are confused.

Jiang Xi and Song San sat on the teahouse opposite the grain warehouse, looking at the people who were robbing below, and their eyes focused on one person.

"This is another Qiao Zhuang dressed up." The corners of Jiang Xi's mouth hooked up and mocked.

Song San smiled lightly and poured himself a cup of tea.

"They think that they can buy all the grain and then sell it at a higher price, so I will let them taste what it means to steal chickens and rice."

Last year, Song San harvested a lot of grain, not only in the province, but also outside the province. And this year, the rain has only affected ten counties, and the grain in the granary is enough to cope with it, and it is several times more.

If those grain merchants really bought them all, in this rainy weather, it would cost a lot of manpower and financial resources just to store them. to the end. It will also cause grain to pile up and cannot be sold.

He wanted to see what the grain merchants would do when the time came.

Those who came to buy food in disguise were recognized by the soldiers, but they did not break it, but sold it at the original price. And they sell as many as these people want.

Song San had already instructed them before not to pay attention to these people, just sell them.

At this moment, when I saw the disguised person, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, and I wanted to be opportunistic in front of the imperial court, those grain merchants really used their cleverness in the wrong place.

The granaries of the imperial court were open every day, and a lot of grain was sold, and after more than ten days, there were fewer and fewer people buying grain. Many people have already bought enough food to eat between now and June, when the corn is ripe. And some of them didn't buy enough, seeing that the court was opening positions every day, they were not in a hurry to buy them all.

Grain merchants in several disaster-stricken counties not only did not sell grain this year, but bought a large amount of it and piled it up in warehouses. If this had been put in the past, a lot of people would have laughed at it, saying that they didn't make a draft when they lied. But such a thing happened this year.

Seeing that the grain in the imperial court had not yet been sold, many grain merchants were afraid and did not dare to buy it again. Others have already started selling them secretly.

There are also some grain merchants who do not believe in evil and are still buying, probably because they feel that their financial resources are enough to confront the imperial court.

Such days lasted for about half a month, and those grain merchants who did not believe in evil before and were still highly motivated are now gone.

Since last year, they have not made any money collecting grain, and this year they have used the price they would never pay to go to the imperial court to buy a large number of them and pile them in the warehouse.

The rain had stopped, but their mood was even worse. Who are you going to sell so much grain to?

If you can't dare to sell it before the autumn harvest, after the autumn harvest, the imperial court will have grain again, and the old grain will not be the price of new grain until next year. Old grain will be more difficult to sell than new grain, and they can't sell new grain, what do they have to rely on to make money?

Many grain merchants began to complain about themselves, why do they want to fight with the government, isn't this looking for death.

And some grain merchants who have stopped buying grain a long time ago and secretly sold the grain have stopped their losses, and they also secretly warned themselves that now is not the era before, if they don't want to lose money, they can only keep the same price as the imperial court, make small profits but sell quickly, make some small money, and can no longer speculate on the common people.

It was originally likely to cause a major incident, but because the imperial court took action from it, not only did it not make a big incident, but it didn't even make a splash.

This matter was soon played to the imperial court. How fast, before Song San's recital was handed over, the saint over there issued an edict to let all regions of Daliang do the same as their province.

At the same time, he also gave the Song family a lot of rewards, and transferred Song San from the provincial capital to the capital.

Although there is no change in the grade, it is still the third grade, but the difference between the three grades of Jingguan and the three products released is very big.
