Li Zhengyan and Qin Weiwei went out and went directly to a silk village. The Qin family's business is all over the world, but there are many businesses, many shops, and few businesses, for example, here in Yancheng, only five or six are the Qin family's business, and there is a whole row of shops.

The silk village is engraved with the pattern of double phoenix buckets, which is an industry of the Qin family.

No one was shopping in the store, there were homeless people everywhere, and it was extremely unlucky to look at it, Qin Weiwei opened the curtain and said, "Is the shopkeeper there?" ”

The shopkeeper poked his head out from behind the counter, and when he saw that the two of them were dressed, he hurriedly came out and asked, "Two, are you buying materials?" We have here the finest silk from Hangzhou. The stores are also nationwide chains. ”

Qin Weiwei was silent, and directly took out a card of double phoenix fighting color carved by Xiaoye Zisandalwood, the boss was stunned, took it with both hands, and knelt down directly after a while, "See Miss." ”

Qin Weiwei was surprised, this is Venus Xiaoye Rosewood, the best in the wood, only the people of the Qin family can use it, maybe someone else was sent, she asked, "How do you know that Miss is here?" ”

The shopkeeper was still kneeling, and said: "The little one is called Qin Zhe, he is the head of the Qin family here, and the flying pigeon who just arrived this morning passed the book, and the young master said, you are coming, let me be ready to wait for you." ”

After that, Qin Zhe went to the back and took a page of paper, and said: "After receiving the flying pigeon message, I went to ask the price of rice, the grain distributed by our family was sent from the Qin family, and the price of rice in Yancheng is too expensive." ”

Qin Weiwei and Li Zhengyan took a look and were directly surprised. Now one tael of silver is equal to about 2,000 yuan, and one tael of silver is equal to one thousand yuan, which means that one penny is equal to two yuan now. The price of rice in Kyoto is only about one to two pieces per catty, but here, one catty of rice costs about 200 yuan!

One or two pieces of silver can only buy five catties of rice, not to mention vegetables or others. No wonder even the price of pre-meals and accommodation has increased so much.

Now it's a flood, everything has been washed away, where can these people have money to buy this rice!

The price of rice has risen a hundredfold, and under such circumstances, I am afraid that the price will continue to rise. No wonder the merchants are coming to sell rice, it turns out that this price difference is really easy to sell.

Qin Weiwei said: "No wonder these people are here, it turns out that the price of rice has risen wildly, and the black money that these people make is really not easy." ”

Qin Zhe bowed down and said, "Miss, do you need to continue to do something?" ”

Qin Weiwei looked at Li Zhengyan, and Li Zhengyan groaned: "There is a very important matter that needs to be handed over to you to do. ”

"Prime Minister Zuo, please command." Qin Zhe bowed.

"If you raise the price of rice, you can go up as high as you can." Li Zhengyan took out twenty silver tickets of one thousand taels from his sleeve and said, "You take this money first, and then go to the Yuelai Inn to find a book to get it when you run out." ”

Qin Zhe stared at the twenty silver tickets with wide eyes, he originally wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't refuse with so much money, a full twenty thousand taels, not a small amount, Qin Zhe could raise the price of rice, but he would definitely not be able to take out the money.

"This money, Zuo Xiang can rest assured, the small ones will definitely be used where they should be used." Qin Zhe made a guarantee.

Leaving the Silk Village, Qin Weiwei and Li Zhengyan went outside for a turn.

I was in a hurry to settle down and deal with other things before, and I didn't have time to look at these things, but now that I have time, Qin Weiwei and Li Zhengyan took a good turn in the city.

The sheds built in the open air were full of these homeless people, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, and there were many more people lying down than last time. Zhang Hang has already said that those who moved last time went to the cave, and there are many more people who have nowhere to go.

So these people can only lie here one by one.

Qin Weiwei didn't understand and asked, "With so many people here, the Yellow River is constantly flooding, so the emperor won't send someone to deal with it?" ”

Someone grabbed Li Zhengyan's trouser legs, Li Zhengyan was not in a hurry, he pulled it out directly, and continued to walk forward with Qin Weiwei, saying: "It's not that someone was sent to deal with it, the Yellow River will be flooded every year, but this year's rainy season is a little more, and the flood is extraordinarily large." If it is not treated, it will only spread even more. ”

Qin Weiwei rolled her eyes, stopped in front of a steamed bun shop, and asked, "How much is a steamed bun?" ”

The boss sat on the chair with a fan to hit mosquitoes, and said boredly: "Ten cents a piece." ”

Qin Weiwei was taken aback, she really couldn't afford it.

"You don't buy it, don't buy it, don't get in the way of it." The boss waved them with a fan, trying to drive them away like mosquitoes.

Qin Weiwei was just about to get angry, but Li Zhengyan raised her hand to stop her, pointed to the cold one on the other side, and asked, "How much is your cold steamed bun?" ”

"I thought it was to eat steamed buns, but I didn't expect it to be cheap." The boss muttered and fanned his fan, "Five cents a piece, whether you like to buy it or not." ”

"What kind of steamed bun are you, it's just cold, and it costs five cents?" Qin Weiwei just wanted to touch this cold steamed bun, but a fan in her hand directly hit herself, and the boss shouted: "Don't touch it if you don't buy it!" ”

"You're really hard to talk to, aren't you just a steamed bun?" As soon as Qin Weiwei spoke, she felt that there seemed to be a feeling of hunger and thirst around her.

There are a lot of victims around the steamed bun shop, and if the boss drops one or two steamed buns, they can all die happily.

The boss smiled, "Don't look at it, my steamed buns, I didn't sell them, and the cold steamed buns that have been put away for three or four days are already as hard as a stone, even if I pay five cents a piece, someone will still buy it." ”

"You ......" Qin Weiwei was just about to speak, but Li Zhengyan had already stopped her, took out ten yuan to throw to the boss, and took two steamed buns and left.

The steamed bun is very cold and hard, and there is a rancid taste on it, I don't know how many times I have steamed it repeatedly, but it really tastes, and it is only sold for five cents.

The owners of these grain shops are obviously cheaters.

Qin Weiwei sniffed it, and put a small bite into her mouth with her hand, almost throwing it out, "My mother, this is really not for people to eat." ”

Li Zhengyan also tasted it, it was hard and swishing, it was really not eaten by people.

Qin Weiwei took Li Zhengyan's steamed buns, "Don't eat it, I used to eat everything in the mountains, I'm not afraid of a bad stomach, so don't eat it." Let's go back first. ”

An old man in gagged clothes came over and pulled Qin Weiwei's sleeves, her eyes were blank, her lips were dry, and she was already hungry. The old man was very afraid of offending Qin Weiwei, but he was also hungry, and said, "Girl...... Are you not going to eat this steamed bun anymore? If you don't eat it, can you give it to me...... I haven't eaten in a day. ”

As soon as Qin Weiwei's hand stretched out, the people lying behind her all stood up, Qin Weiwei's hand stopped, and asked Li Zhengyan in a low voice: "What should we do next?" ”
