Chapter 698: Establishing Prestige
As truckloads of grain were pulled over, the people finally bought the grain, but at the previous price.
Anyway, the government said that there will be food every day in the future, and you can only buy ten catties at a time, and you will continue to queue up to buy it tomorrow.
As long as they can buy cheap food, the common people are of course happy. As for where the food comes from, the common people don't care.
For three days, the price remained the same, and the food shortage in the city was greatly alleviated from morning to night.
There is food at home, and there is no panic in the heart.
Some eat, some drink, and the common people can live in peace.
Not only that, Governor Yuan also encouraged merchants to open their doors as soon as possible.
The shortage of supplies was also continuously transported from the Sangcheng side.
Because of Liu Paner's arrival, many crops were grown on the originally barren land, especially grain and sugar beets.
Now the beets are constantly made into sugar, more and more, and some of them are also transported to Beiyun City.
Seeing that the materials in Beiyun City were becoming more and more abundant, and the prices were stable, the merchants who were originally thinking of hoarding goods suddenly panicked.
Everyone gathered at Zhao's shopkeeper's house again, "Brother Zhao, we didn't calculate that Governor Yuan had a backhand on the Sangcheng side, and a lot of grain was transported from there. These officials are really cunning. ”
"Now the price of food in the city has stabilized, and the shortage of salt and other scarce supplies has been continuously delivered, and the price has stabilized."
"We have a lot of grain in our granary, if we don't sell it, or if we can't sell it, next year, after the grain comes down, it will become old grain, and it will be worthless."
Shopkeeper Zhao also knew that he had encountered a tricky thing this time, they only had food in their hands now, and the other party also had it, so they couldn't threaten it at all.
Shopkeeper Zhao said in a deep voice: "This Yuan Governor is a man with means, and the army has completely controlled Beiyun City, let's also open the door to sell grain." ”
"If we hold on, we will only lose ourselves in the end. Now everyone is asking for more blessings, and Zhao can't do anything now. ”
Originally, a few people who thought that Zhao's shopkeeper was looking forward to the horse, but now they secretly regret it, and they knew that this was the case, so they sold grain at the original price.
Not only can he please him in front of Governor Yuan, but he will also not be fined because of Anfen.
It's good now, these few of them, in order to make money, keep raising prices, and now it is estimated that they have been on the blacklist of Yuan Governor's Mansion.
He was fined a huge amount of money, and if the grain could not be sold, he would inevitably lose even more, and even break his bones.
These people now sneer at Shopkeeper Zhao, and they have long forgotten that they were happy to raise the price with Shopkeeper Zhao and make a lot of money.
When I got back, I immediately opened the door to sell grain.
However, the common people now recognize the points set up by the government, but they are very tired of the grain merchants who hoard goods and raise prices.
Although it is also the original price, ten cents a catty, the common people are still willing to go to the government to buy grain.
Several major grain merchants opened their doors for a day, and almost no grain was sold.
This was the case for several days, and these grain merchants suddenly became anxious.
Governor Yuan set up several other points to sell grain, and although several major grain merchants resumed supplying grain, he did not remove them.
Several major grain merchants also knew that the previous move to increase prices had hurt the hearts of the people.
I want to sell these grains at the original price, unless Governor Yuan closes the grain sales points in the government.
But Yuan Zhifu is obviously not such a good person.
If you wanted to close it a long time ago, why wait until now?
These grain merchants were fined some time ago, and now they don't dare to jump in front of the prefect's mansion.
There are those who have a lively mind and do not want to continue to insist on the price immediately reduce the price.
After nine dollars a pound, the people who were greedy for cheap really came to buy food.
When other grain merchants saw that some people were selling grain cheaply, they also lowered their prices.
Some people even dropped it even harder, eight cents a pound.
The common people are very honest, where to buy where it is cheap.
No business, no treachery, no fake.
When the grain merchants saw that the people came to buy grain cheaply, they had a countermeasure, that is, to make a fuss on the scales.
Short catties are less than two.
If it was before, it would be just that, and if there is no comparison, the common people may not know.
But now the government also sells grain, and the government sells 10 catties of grain significantly more than the grain merchants sell 10 catties of grain.
So some ordinary people obviously found that the grain merchants sold less than ten catties of grain, and then after buying grain here, they went to the government to sue the Zhao family grain shop for a short catty of two catties.
When Governor Yuan heard the complaint, he immediately accepted it.
According to this claim, Zhao Jialiang Po did have a situation of missing two catties, and only nine catties were given out of ten catties.
The Zhao family's grain shop was immediately fined a huge amount of money, three thousand taels of silver.
This punishment immediately caused an uproar in the entire Beiyun City.
The businessmen trembled one by one, not daring to be shoddy, let alone lacking catties or two.
Although it is not yet completely undeceitful, it is still much more regular than before.
The people are punishing the government and applauding it.
The Great Zhou government also established its prestige in these incidents.
At the same time, the people of Beiyun City found that there was a newly opened shop that sold brown sugar and white sugar, and the price was 20% cheaper than the original.
Many people buy and taste these sugars and find that the quality of these sugars is very good.
As a result, there were many customers soon.
On the basis of stability, Beiyun City is gradually returning to normal.
In the capital, after Emperor Zhou Ping received the report, he was overjoyed and immediately announced to the world that Beiyun City would be recovered.
Some high-ranking ministers in the imperial court have long known that His Majesty will transfer General Zhao and Gu Shao to the past, and there must be a big move, and they have already guessed that this trip is aimed at Beiyun City.
It's just that I didn't expect to capture Beiyun City so quickly.
The first emperor was so happy that he always wanted to capture Beiyun City, but he failed to succeed several times, and he could only return with hatred.
But the current emperor, blessed with blessings, not only pacified the northwest and scattered the Xiyun Kingdom, but now wants to recover the Beiyun City.
The prosperity of the Great Week is just around the corner.
The people in the lower classes feel proud, and feel that not only are life better now, but even the imperial court is quite powerful.
Emperor Zhou Ping was even more happy and laughed several times in the imperial study.
When I fold the folds, I always laugh unconsciously.
Liang Bao outside was also quite emotional.
This Li Yuanqing is worthy of being a member of His Majesty, invincible, invincible, invincible.
Emperor Zhou Ping called the six important ministers and began to discuss the next matter.
Now that Ramor has used his sincerity, Da Zhou has now occupied Beiyun City.
Next, it is how to divide Beirong and consume Beirong's combat effectiveness.
Since the founding of the country, Beirong has been more than 300 years now, and the interior has long been decayed.
Now more than a hundred years have passed, and when the Great Zhou Dynasty is at its strongest, Beirong will inevitably split this time.
Several ministers conspired with Emperor Zhou Ping, and the bad ideas were worse than the other, forming a will, which was transmitted to Sangcheng and Beiyun City.
After General Zhao saw it, there was not much difference from his guess, and then all of them were sent to Li Yuanqing and Yuan Zhifu.
At this time, Lamor asks to see Liu Pan'er.
