Chapter 124: Soaring

There was a great drought in Guanzhong.

It's an absolutely terrible thing.

What does this mean for the people in this temple?

First of all...... The imperial court must find a way to solve the upcoming situation of Guanzhong's lack of harvest.

Can it be solved?

So what happens if you can't fix it?

On the other hand...... Now that the price of food has plummeted, I am afraid that it is also about to move.

Everyone knows that there will be a shortage of grain this year, and there will be a shortage of a lot of food, and it is even polite to say that in the Guanzhong area, there will be a situation of 'hunger and cannibalism'.

Well, whoever masters the grain controls everything.

Food is about to skyrocket.

I'm afraid that countless grain merchants will die of laughter when they sleep.

And as for what will happen after the food price skyrockets, then...... Only God knows.

At least...... It's not just the terrible situation in Guanzhong, what will happen to the lives of the people in this capital and other parts of the world?

Countless questions have come one after another.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely depressing.

"I regret not listening to Zhang Qing's words." The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly stood up and said with a stiff face: "Zhuqing, what should I do now?" ”

"Your Majesty, you should immediately transfer the granary of the state and try your best to transport it to Guanzhong to relieve the people's hardship, otherwise, the situation is critical." It was Sun Chengzong who spoke.

Huang Liji also nodded: "I'm afraid that some grain needs to be put in to stabilize the price of grain in the capital." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was in turmoil, if he had ......

Pity...... There is no such thing as it was at the beginning.

Who would have thought that this was really expected by Zhang Jingyi.

He immediately glanced at Li Qiyuan, the head of the household.

As soon as this Li Qiyuan Shangshu heard the drought in Guanzhong, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and several eunuchs rushed forward to support him.

And Li Qiyuan's face was like earth, and his lips lost their blood, which made the Emperor of the Apocalypse emotional: "Li Qing's family is really a minister who seeks the country." ”

Li Qiyuan: "......"

He doesn't want to talk now, he doesn't want to say anything.

Food has been ...... Sold.

Not to mention selling it at this stall, it also makes people pay on credit.

It was just a credit account, but it was sold for seven coins of silver and one stone.

What is it? This is a loss to make people earn.

Li Jianai is a big landlord in the capital area, he is a native of Nanhe County, Shunde Prefecture, Beizhili, his family has a lot of land, and most of the clansmen operate in the Beizhili area, because there is a lot of land, so the business is mainly in the business of grain and oil.

In fact, relying on this family business, Li Qiyuan is still very upright as an official, and basically in the process of being a eunuch all his life, he did not be greedy for much money.

However, it is also a fact that his family is thriving as his official becomes higher and higher.

In other words, the family saved so much grain, and as a result, it was sold for seven dollars of silver, and then learned that the price of grain was going to rise sharply, and it was estimated that he would want to die.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse saw that Li Qiyuan was silent, but he was stunned by this terrible news.

As the head of the household, he was worried about the people and the country to vomit blood, and at this time he couldn't take care of his body, and he was still thinking about how to deal with the aftermath and solve the food problem in Guanzhong.

This had to make the Emperor of the Apocalypse can't help but favor him.

At that moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered the Tongzhou granary to allocate grain, on the one hand, to stabilize the price of the Jingshi, and on the other hand, to transport Guanzhong in case of contingencies.

Li Qiyuan and others retired one after another.

As soon as Li Qiyuan left the palace, he didn't have the heart to go to the ministry, so he only took leave and hurried back to the house.

In the Li family, someone had already come to visit, and the news of the drought in Guanzhong had already spread, and Wu Wenlong, a grain merchant, immediately asked to see him.

This Wu Wenlong was originally a slave of the Li family, because he knew how to operate, so the Li family asked him to come forward to take charge of the grain business.

Over the years, Wu Wenlong has made a lot of contributions to the Li family, and the agreement reached with the Zhang family was the one he tried his best to promote.

He had expected food prices to plummet, and he thought it would be better to do his best to clear the bill.

Who would have thought that this morning, the market would go crazy and the price of grain began to move, Wu Wenlong felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly rushed to Li's house.

"Li Gong." Wu Wenlong said with a sad face: "The villain is really a crime of death, I really didn't expect that there would be a once-in-a-century drought in Guanzhong." ”

Li Qiyuan sat down and took a sip of tea, at this time he had come to his senses and said, "It's not your fault, hey...... Now, what is the price of food? ”

"It's already a couple of dollars and someone is buying it."

It's only been an hour, and the price of grain has risen directly by one penny of silver, but in fact, it has not only risen by one penny, because the previous one, two, and two cents were the retail price, but now people are one, two, or three cents, but it is a large purchase.

Obviously, the prophet of the spring duck, there are already people who can't bear it.

"Have we sold all our grain to the Zhang family, and there is nothing left?"

Wu Wenlong said with a smile: "At the beginning, I was afraid that the Zhang family would regret it, so I desperately transported the grain, and our Li family alone sent 50,000 stones, and other families were also sending it at the beginning, and everyone was rushing to sell it, so the villain was a little anxious, and now he ...... It's all sold. ”

This Li Qiyuan almost turned his back on his anger, but he still counted on the last bit of hope and said: "Even if the grain is delivered to his house, the delivery is completed?" ”

"It's settled." Wu Wenlong said: "It's too late to regret it." You see, this is their Zhang Jiali's note, and it is the money they owe us on credit......"

Li Qiyuan slowly closed his eyes, just holding the tea cup, constantly shaking.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, and there was a deep pain in his eyes!

What kind of iniquity has been created!

Wu Wenlong sighed: "What should I do now? ”

Li Qiyuan frowned and said, "What do you think should be done?" I'd like to hear your thoughts. ”

"Why don't we hurry up and collect some food now? This year's grain prices will definitely not be able to be suppressed, and they will definitely skyrocket. Master, if you can collect some food at this time, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money by the end of the year. ”

Li Qiyuan said with a stiff face: "The old man is really unwilling, the old man just sold the grain for seven yuan of silver, and now he is going to collect the grain at a high price?" ”

"Master......" Wu Wenlong cried.

Li Qiyuan glanced at him, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, it's all at this time, what else can you say?" Originally...... It's a moment of confusion, right now...... Go and collect the grain, how much can you collect. ”

"Whoa."

………………

The price of food in the capital...... Started to go crazy.

At least here in Qingpingfang, as soon as Zhang Jing heard the news, he immediately took the officials to inspect the grain stores in the workshop.

Outcome...... The grain store closed directly.

Zhang Jingyi: "......"

As soon as Zhang Jing looked at the closed door, her eyes immediately widened, and she scolded angrily: "Fuck, what are these grain merchants doing when they are closed?" Out of business? Come, go knock on the door. ”

The street chief behind him immediately went to knock on the door.

The guy inside reluctantly opened the door.

Zhang Jing split his head and covered his face and said: "What do you do when you close the door, what does it look like!" You closed the doors, and the people went to eat the northwest wind? ”

The guy smiled bitterly: "This is the owner's order, saying that the current grain is not to be sold, and if it is sold today, it will be a loss, and if it is sold for a catty, it will lose a catty, so I instructed the little ones, we are not allowed to sell grain now, we will not sell grain now, only accept grain." ”

Zhang Jingyi really didn't know what to say.

These grain merchants are really black-hearted enough.

This is expected to rise sharply, but I am afraid that I will start hoarding goods.

Zhang Jingyi sat down with a cold face and asked, "How much is the price of grain now?" ”

The guy said: "Now there is no accurate number, in fact, no one knows how much, an hour changes once, half an hour ago, I heard that the bulk purchase has been one or two or three dollars, and now I am afraid that one or two or five dollars is also possible." But the price is ...... It's just talking, even if someone really offers one or two or five dollars, no one sells it. ”

Zhang Jingyi sneered: "You continue to hold on, and the imperial court will release grain to stabilize the price of grain later." ”

The guy smiled, in fact, although he was in awe of Zhang Jingyi, he was not afraid, after all, Zhang Baihu often patrols the streets, in addition to not running to engage with the big girl, he also gets along with the general owner and shopkeeper, and occasionally greets.

The guy said: "It's a disaster year, and the so-called relief from the imperial court is just a drop in the bucket, what's the use?" At most, it will last for a few days. ”

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh at this time and said: "Slandering the imperial court, I, as a hundred households in brocade clothes, will immediately punish you for the crime of treason." ”

The guy was finally frightened and hurriedly said, "Ten thousand deaths." ”

Zhang Jingyi was just joking, he wouldn't fail to bully the weak, dusted off his body, and said, "I don't care about other places." But in this new county, you grain merchants can hoard grain, but the rations that are retailed to the people still have to be sold, go and tell your host, these rations, there are not many catties, here in the new county, formulate a law, that is, the local people, give them a quota of one catty, let them use the grain of the new county and county government to buy grain, you do business in the new county, you must always make a good fate, it really makes people hungry, people don't want to tear down your shop? I'll release this, if I don't give Zhang Jing a face, then I, Zhang Jing, will really cure you for the crime of treason, and when you go to the edict of Nanzhen Fusi, some of them will suffer hardship. ”

He said this calmly.

But it's powerful.

The shopkeeper also knows the depth here, and the people of Zhang Baihu and Zhang County are hungry, can they have good fruits to eat?

In addition, Xinxian is just a place of two squares, a place with a big palm, and if you really want to retail, it really can't sell much, so he said: "Yes, I'll go to see the owner later." ”

As soon as Zhang Jing finished explaining, he went out of the shop, but there was a grain merchant stumbling over, and when he saw Zhang Jingyi, he immediately said excitedly: "Zhang Baihu, I can find you." Ah...... I...... I'm Wu Wenlong, do you remember? I also sold you grain at the beginning. I am discussing with you something, I am here to buy grain, you make a price, one or two or seven yuan, do you sell it? ”

Zhang Jing glanced him up and down, and said in disgust: "Who are you, who knows you, go away!" ”

Wu Wenlong: "......"

This dog thing...... How to turn your face and don't recognize people!

………………

Chapter 2 is delivered.
