The Chamber of Commerce Hall is full of traffic every day.

Countless merchants come and go here.

People were excitedly searching for news.

What Huainan disaster, Guanzhong, should be gone.

In addition to this, the war in Liaodong may be tight, as it is rumored that Jiannu may continue to attack Ningyuan, which means ...... The imperial court will continue to pay salaries.

All in all, it's all good.

The current price of food is unattainable, but in the hearts of many people, it seems that it is not enough.

This time, it is equivalent to natural and man-made disasters coming together, but it is much more powerful than in previous years.

In addition, although there were several great famines during the Wanli period, after all, after Zhang Juzheng's reform at that time, the imperial court still had enough money and grain for relief.

But now, this apocalypse year, after the three major expeditions of Wanli, the plough court sweeping the holes, and the collapse of Liaodong, the imperial court has no more spare strength.

What does this mean?

It means that everything is moving in the best direction.

There are even rumors that this year's grain price may reach 25 taels.

Twenty-five taels!

This is at least a tenfold increase compared to previous years.

It's going to be rich.

Grain merchants are still trying their best to buy grain, even if it is more than the current price.

If you don't have enough money, you borrow money.

Wu Wenlong had already taken out a loan of 34,000 taels of silver.

The rest of the grain merchants weren't much better.

You know, if in previous years, although the income of grain merchants is not small, after all, it is only to earn the interest rate difference in the middle, where is there a huge profit?

But now it's different, seize this rare opportunity, and you can make money for decades to come.

In the face of such temptation, how many people can hold on?

Almost everyone rejoiced.

So this time, Chen Moyan came to listen to the play as usual, and he and several other major grain merchants almost became the focus of everyone's attention.

Still dressed in inconspicuous clothes, sitting in an inconspicuous corner, he didn't make a tune today, just sat idle for a while, and hurried away.

His calm and unhurried posture made people take a reassuring pill.

At this time, many people couldn't help but ridicule the Zhang family.

The Zhang family originally hid so much grain, but it only increased by ten times, so they hurriedly sold all the grain.

If this is the grain...... In my hands, I will not sell a grain of rice without twenty-five taels and one stone.

By this time, the market was already depressed.

The panic caused by this lack of food is real.

Many people began to cut back on food and clothing.

Even in the new county now, there are many people who make a living from weaving, with an income of a few taels of silver a month, and their lives were originally quite solid, but now, they have suddenly fallen into hell.

In the past, the monthly expenditure on food was no more than one tael of silver.

But now, all the income is used to buy food, and the family is still hungry.

There is rumor outside, saying that there is cannibalism over there in Guanzhong.

He also said that a large number of displaced people were raised in all directions.

These words intensified people's panic.

The first thing almost every man or woman does when they get up in the morning is to try their luck at the grain stores.

But in fact...... Many grain stores are no longer open.

Even if they occasionally open their doors, they sell old rice mixed with a lot of sand, but even if the price of such rice is high, there are still people who rush to it.

The people's livelihood is so difficult, this is still the Beijing Division, and what kind of world it is outside the Beijing Division, only God knows.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse issued three orders and issued an edict to denounce the hundred officials for not being able to share the worries of the imperial court.

It's okay if you don't make an order.

As soon as the decree was issued, a swarm of impeachment was sent to the palace.

Everyone said that His Majesty was right, and now I want to expose a person who made a fortune from food, that's right, it is the Zhang family in Xinxian County!

They relied on grain and made a fortune, and Zhang Jingyi was deeply favored by the country, and even regarded the common people of the society as disregarded, and implored His Majesty to severely punish him and not lend money, so as to set an example.

This kind of rhetoric is clearly to embarrass the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

What do you do with scolding us? You kill the most treacherous Zhang Jing first.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so angry that he smoked.

And when the price of grain reached seventeen taels.

Zhang Jingyi's side has probably already been planned.

It rained again in the capital.

After a rapid rainstorm, everything is as good as new in Qingpingfang.

On the morning of this day, after Zhang Jingyi was in the case, he wrote a notebook, and then ordered someone to send it to the palace.

Soon.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was relieved, but his expression became weird.

"Summoning all the kings to meet you."

When the ministers heard the summons, they rushed one after another, and these days were eventful, so everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Emperor Tianqi said: "Zhang Jing has a performance, saying that he is cultivating in Changping, and since the early spring to the present, he has planted a new grain, and the yield per mu can get 1,000 catties of grain, what do you think?" ”

“……”

The ministers looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a suffocating expression.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse raised his eyebrows: "Speak!" ”

“……”

The temple was very quiet.

Of course, this is not a shock.

It's really suffocating.

Damn.

Now that the price of food is unattainable, as soon as he Zhang Jing heard that he was ordered to clean up the price of grain, he tossed it for a month, and he tossed such a thing?

Seeing that all the ministers were silent, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Huang Qingjia, you come first." ”

At this time, Huang Liji felt that there was actually a disadvantage in being a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, that is, every time, he would be brought out first, and he said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, such auspicious things, if you don't discuss it, the minister has nothing to say." ”

In fact, it was not that no one reported the grain per mu in the past, but it was all a lie.

This Zhang Jingyi was afraid that the price of food would not be able to suppress it, so he simply played the routine of Xiangrui.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned, and he was also a little hesitant in his heart.

That's right, this is Zhang Jingyi's strategy?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Li Qingjia, you are the head of the household, you come here." ”

These days, Li Qiyuan, the head of the household, secretly hoards food.

He is the head of the household, for today's situation, he knows better than anyone else, anyway, if he doesn't hoard, others will hoard, since this is the case, then he secretly earns a little, there is nothing wrong with it!

Now that he heard that this mu yields thousands of catties and what new grain there is, Li Qiyuan was still bitter, and tried his best not to have any fluctuations in his emotions, and not to lose his manners.

The surname Zhang is really good.

Using this auspicious fortune to expect to reduce food prices, my brain is pumping.

Now when the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, he couldn't hold back, sneered, coughed busily, and tried to look very serious: "Your Majesty...... This...... Chen has never heard of such a thing, so he thinks that this must be Zhang Jing's hearsay! The minister felt that there was no need to blame Zhang Jingyi, after all, he was young, he didn't know much about farming, and His Majesty didn't have to take it seriously. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gritted his teeth, and his face was extremely ugly.

But...... It seems that everyone can see that this is a joke.

If it weren't for him, the emperor, I am afraid that everyone would have laughed.

"But Zhang Jingyi invited me to Changping and see it with my own eyes."

Look at this trouble, the acting is like the real thing.

The ministers said: "Your Majesty, no, don't ......."

"How can Your Majesty leave Beijing so easily?"

"Why take it seriously......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry, gritted his teeth and said: "Then I won't go to Changping, I won't be able to worship my ancestors, and I won't be able to see my ancestors or my ancestors!" What else do you have to say? ”

It's really urgent.

So, the ministers were dumbfounded.

In fact...... Let them go, it's a joke anyway!

"Decree, tomorrow I will go to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors......" After a pause, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at the ministers coldly and said, "Zhuqing accompanies you!" ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

This time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was really angry.

He could feel the taste of the abuse of the officials, although they pretended to be sincerely frightened, but in fact, they regarded him, the emperor, as a child.

Seeing the emperor walk away.

The ministers looked at each other.

At this time, Huang Liji could only smile bitterly, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to retire.

When he left the hall, Sun Chengzong stopped him worriedly: "Huang Gong." ”

Huang Liji smiled at Sun Chengzong: "You said ......"

"Hey, needless to say." Sun Chengzong said: "After all, I still misjudged people, how could I fool those grain merchants with this kind of child's play?" Zhang Jingyi this time...... It's confused. ”

"You mean, he's only clever?"

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's too young!" Just for now...... I heard that Guanzhong was there...... Something is going to happen. ”

"The old man is also waiting for news from the Shaanxi Political Envoy."

Huang Liji put his hands behind his back and sighed again and again: "The sky is going to change, and then you and I will be sinners for the ages." ”

Sun Chengzong lowered his head, and his meaning was uneasy.

…………

Next.

Hundreds of officials waited outside the Daming Gate.

Immediately afterwards, the car of the Emperor of the Apocalypse came out of the Daming Gate.

In any case, he wanted to believe Zhang Jing for once.

Although I also know that this thing is very unreliable, like a joke.

The yield per mu is 1,000 catties...... Isn't this a dream story?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was sitting in the court, looked at the hundreds of officials on both sides who were already lined up on the side of the road, and couldn't help but sigh: "Wei Companion." ”

Wei Zhongxian rode a horse and drove on the side of Chengyu, and when he heard the call of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he immediately said, "The slave is here." ”

"They are afraid that they will have to work hard today, this early in the morning, I took them to Changping and told them that I allowed them to ride horses and sit in sedan chairs."

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian responded.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse continued, "Where is Zhang Jingyi?" ”

"I heard that Zhang Jingyi has gone to Changping first, and said that he was there to greet the holy driver."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded: "So...... It's good. It's just that...... Is what he said true? ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled: "Your Majesty wants to listen to the truth, or is it a lie?" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glared at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian realized that this was not the time to joke, so he hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't know whether it's true or not, but I only know that last night, Li Qiyuan, the head of the household, was in his own house, and laughed with his son that if there was really a thousand catties of grain per mu in the world, he would chop off his head and kick it for people." ”

Emperor of the Apocalypse: "......"

………………

Chapter 5 arrived, I got up too early today, I wrote it from the morning to now, hurry up and go to sleep, and fight again tomorrow.
