After Ding Yun heard these gossips, he immediately sent someone to inquire about other places, and then learned that the relevant news had already spread and caused a lot of uproar.

There are even many people who have discussed it.

Some people sympathize with Jia's mother and feel that what she has done is reasonable, every day she sees that her son who is not born to her occupies the position of the head of the family, but her son can only be a five-grade idle petty official, how can she balance her heart.

Some people feel that what Jia's mother did was too unkind, because the Zhang family was in trouble, and it was even more vicious and unkind to kill the daughter-in-law who married the Zhang family, and she was too close to interests.

There are also people who think that Jia Yu is not filial, even if Jia's mother is not his biological mother, she is also a mother-in-law, no matter how excessive the parents are, they should not be disobedient as children, let alone expose what their parents do.

Everyone is on their own side.

Enthusiastic discussion.

Those who sympathize with Jia's mother are basically the housemothers of the family.

Those who dislike Jia's mother are all daughters-in-law, those who have daughters at home, and those who are simply not used to seeing others do evil.

As for those who think Jia Yu is unfilial.

Of course, they are all old scholars, and they may even be old people who are not standing upright, and the one who dances is called a joy.

In short, it is one person and one idea, and different people pay different attention to different priorities, some pay attention to Jia's mother harming her daughter-in-law's life, sit back and watch her second daughter-in-law harm her eldest grandson, and some pay attention to Jia Yu being raised by his grandmother and not close to his mother-in-law.

There are also those who pay attention to the named son-in-law.

Ding Yun not only listened to the story with relish, listened to different people discuss with each other, and even fought because of different ideas in some aspects, but he was even more relished, and he couldn't wait to get out in person and participate in the debate.

But that's about it.

She didn't go to see Jia Yu, or the idea of helping Jia Yu, no matter how the other party tossed, it had nothing to do with her anyway, it didn't affect her to complete the task, nor did it affect her to do the gold finger test, and she cared more about it every day, it was just that Ding Yun usually liked to watch the excitement.

But she's just happy to watch.

Not happy to be involved in it.

Outsiders are far more comfortable than insiders.

……

Let's talk about the big grain merchants.

After three months of tightly sealing off the grain purchase channels, they finally realized that what they were doing did not seem to have any effect on the boss behind the so-called affordable grain store, which still had enough grain to sell at a lower price.

This made them very puzzled and did not know where the grain came from, but they also had to take the next step to target the parity grain store.

That is, send people to rob and send people to burn.

Send people to track down the source of the grain, send people to track down the owner behind the cheap grain shop, and who is it.

It was not until this time, that is, after the other party did this, that some of the grain that Ding Yun was transporting was snatched away, and even the grain storage points of some shops were burned, and Ding Yun realized that he seemed to be targeted.

Although the food was robbed and burned, she was not too distressed, but the other party's behavior was undoubtedly aimed at her, not to mention the personal injuries caused by the other party's actions, if you can't find a way to prevent retaliation.

Who will dare to work for her in the future.

Besides, she has plenty of food.

It can't stand the constant robbery and burning.

So after discovering the relevant situation, Ding Yun immediately began to send someone to investigate, and at the same time analyzed it according to the existing information, and also contacted his own contacts a little, and then easily came to a conclusion.

I also know who is targeting her.

But knowing who the other party is, it doesn't mean that Ding Yun can easily deal with them, the most important thing is that Ding Yun is not willing to go along with them.

Follow the unspoken rules of the grain merchants they have set.

This makes it difficult to reconcile between them.

At the same time, those major grain merchants probably also found Ding Yun's body, but only found the superficial layer.

I only know that Ding Yun is a woman from a big family.

And now that he has entered the Taoist book, he has a degree.

The others don't know.

The result of knowing each other a little, but not talking about it, was that the battle between the two sides became more and more severe, and Ding Yun's side directly began to cooperate with the official yamen, asking the local government to protect and transport a large amount of grain to those places where the famine occurred.

Don't sell, donate directly, give money directly.

Give as much as you donate.

If it is not enough, we will reduce the supply of those grain shops that have stabilized and have not been famine.

In addition, all the land on the farm was converted to wheat and rice, and nothing else.

The grain that Ding Yun shipped to other places, those grain merchants might dare to grab and burn it without any bottom line, but they shipped it to the disaster area and donated it directly to the yamen for free, they really didn't have the courage to do so, because to rob and burn the grain of an ordinary businessman and to rob and burn the grain donated to the yamen is a completely different concept.

Grab the things of the yamen.

What's the difference between that and outright rebellion?

Being so involved by Ding Yun, their original various operations in the disaster area naturally had no way to continue, in addition to that, the magistrates everywhere were a little dissatisfied with them, and they admired Ding Yun very much.

There are even some regional magistrates who are particularly prone to various natural disasters, but have not yet occurred, have begun to warmly invite Ding Yun to spread the cheap grain to them, so that in case of disasters in the future, they can also provide disaster relief in time.

Maintain their relatively good performance evaluation.

For this reason, they even did not hesitate to assure Ding Yun.

The guarantee will definitely protect the safety of the parity grain store.

Never let people spoil it.

Grain can also be protected on the way.

For these warm invitations, Ding Yun also does not refuse to come, whichever family is willing to invite and protect, he will go to which side first, so far, although it cannot be regarded as a complete breakthrough.

But at least there was a tough counterattack.

However, Ding Yun was not satisfied with this.

Because she knew very well that the current situation was created by her at the expense of blood and food, in fact, the loss of the other party was not particularly large, so after doing the previous operations, she quickly contacted the officials of the household department and the military department through her own connections.

And expressed willingness to do so at a very low price.

Provide food for the troops stationed in various places.

She didn't look for the greedy officials, but the officials who were still young, whose blood had never cooled, and who had not yet become the people they hated before.

So the relevant news finally reached the Holy Hearing.

It was delivered to the table of the current emperor.

Even Ding Yun was summoned because of this.

After that, Ding Yun successfully obtained the qualification of the imperial merchant in terms of grain merchants, and the price she paid was half the price lower than the normal grain price on the market, that is, the price of many grain merchants going to the countryside to buy grain, at most it was one or two pennies and a stone, and supplied all the garrisons in the world.

How much grain can ordinary people buy, not to mention that there are also their own landlord grain merchants in various localities, under normal circumstances, if it is not for the occurrence of various natural disasters or something.

There is no need for foreign grain merchants to sell grain.

There are only two channels that can really sell grain in large quantities, one is the large cities where the land output near the large cities cannot support so many people, and the other is the real big business, that is, the sale of grain to the military headquarters and the sale of grain to the garrisons all over the country.

In order for those soldiers to have enough food to eat.

The household department has to allocate millions of taels of silver every year.

In order to make grain merchants willing to transport grain over.

The household department even had to come up with a large amount of salt to act as a temptation, indicating how much grain they would transport to the border gates, and they would be willing to give them a share of the salt.

Therefore, the families of those large grain merchants basically take care of the salt merchant business while selling grain, and compared with the little money they make from selling grain, the real windfall profit is actually the money they make from selling salt.

The grain merchants' business was nothing more than a way for them to find a way to get enough food in times of famine.

It is just a means of annexing land.

Making money is actually second to them, and the most important thing is that they can control the price of grain, which is the means and purpose of those big families, and the main reason why those big families do not allow others to break the rules of their grain business world, which is not only to break the rules, but also to destroy their monopoly pricing power.

Monopoly pricing power is not only their talisman.

It's even more when they're in troubled times.

It is used to stabilize people's hearts, and even choose the hidden dragon help they approve of and fight for the world.

And what Ding Yun is doing now.

There is no doubt that it is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Not only did they snatch their biggest deal, but they also directly broke their monopoly pricing power.
