Chapter 350: Grain Pricing
Chu Lixuan was shaken by her smile, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time thought silently in his heart.
Or insist on a variety of rice and potatoes every day in exchange for more horses, "How many horses does Shin Shin want to raise?" ”
"Husband, you don't want to exchange a lot of grain for horses at once, do you? Let's change some stallions first, and then the mares will breed in unlimited quantities. ”
"Hmm~ Xinxin is so smart." Chu Lixuan thought she liked it very much, so he wanted to change a lot of it for her to raise at a time.
It turned out that she was so easily satisfied, Chu Lixuan looked at her with joy, and the more she looked at it, the more obsessed she became.
Is Kang Xinyan really easy to satisfy? The answer is naturally no, she is very fond of silver, and especially likes the joy of earning money.
However, she knows that she can't become a fat man by eating one bite, she has to eat one bite at a time, and she has to earn money slowly little by little.
However, she also knows that the price of grain here is very low, and the southern rice and northern millet are one of the main grains for the people of Dongchen.
Grain is affected by its own laws, climate and environment, trade circulation and other factors, and the price fluctuates accordingly, and high prices hurt the people and low prices hurt farmers.
From the perspective of economics, observing the changes in grain prices can faithfully reflect the development of Dongchen Kingdom.
"Food is the basic element of life, and the price of food determines the quality of our lives."
Jiang Xinyan talked to Chu Lixuan about her outlook on life, values, and expectations for her future life.
"In March last year, the emperor issued an edict to the three divisions that the price of a stone of japonica rice or other grain was about 1,000 yuan, but this year, due to the locust plague, the war in the south continued, and the price of grain rose to 2,500 to 3,000 yuan."
Chu Lixuan also told her that due to different harvests, the price of Dongchen's grain will also be different.
For example, one stone of rice is 118 catties, and the price of grain fluctuates due to the impact of bountiful harvests, natural disasters, wars and other factors.
Thousands of dollars and a stone of food, for ordinary people, that is not a thing.
"Husband, then our rice milling price is 3,000 yuan a stone, potatoes are priced at 1,000 yuan a stone, coarse noodles are priced at 1,000 yuan, and corn flour is priced at 2,000 yuan a stone, okay?"
"Good." Chu Lixuan was very satisfied with Jiang Xinyan's proposal, although it was a little higher than usual, but they planted it very hard!
The price is much cheaper than other vendors and families.
Jiang Xinyan remembered Sima Guang complaining: "The world is declining, and the peddlers and pawns all wear stockings. Although the words are not true, the wealth of the Song Dynasty can be seen.
This Dongchen country was also rich before the locust plague, and it was the first in Shikoku, but now, it is affected by the locust plague and the war in the south.
The people are starving, famine is raging in various places, supplies are in short supply, and profiteers are hoarding, resulting in a tenfold increase in grain prices compared with last year.
"Shin Shin, what did you think of again? Laughing so brightly. Chu Lixuan asked happily.
"Husband, we set the price of 3,000 yuan and one stone, it is really the price of conscience, whether it is grassroots or local tyrants, it depends on the food in the hands of our friends."
The old lady is undoubtedly the local tyrant of Dongchen Kingdom, a big man, and she will be the richest man in the world in the future, haha!
"Well~ the price is set, the trading location is also set, as for the trading time, let them set it! Shin Shin, let's go home. ”
"Good! Go home and urge them to turn over the land diligently and grow food, haha..."
Chu Lixuan summoned Bing Lu, "Go back and tell the prince that we are leaving, and the transaction time is set, so send us a message." ”
The king of Zhenbei has no opinion, now he is a poor one, without Chu Lixuan's support, their Zhenbei army can only drink the northwest wind, what else to talk about trading with North Vietnam!
When they negotiated dinner, it was basically finalized, and the king of Zhenbei wanted to send off the guests.
However, the North Vietnamese mission still wanted to have dinner in the barracks, then stay overnight and return tomorrow.
The king of Zhenbei is also not easy to drive people away, and when eating, the six princesses of Beiyue are very unhappy.
She asked fiercely, "Lord Wang, what about the Chu Ye brothers?" ”
King Zhenbei: "......"
He didn't understand who the Chu Ye brothers were, he only knew Chu Lixuan and his wife, and he was stunned for a while.
The third prince also wanted to know why the Chu Ye brothers didn't come to dinner.
"Lord Wang, hasn't Master Chu been talking to us about the price of grain? Why didn't you see them after eating? ”
"Him! They have already gone back to prepare food, and they live in Guanshan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Pingqing Fucheng, which is far away! ”
The king of Zhenbei said casually that the Pingqing Mansion was more than 3,000 miles away from here, and their trading time was set for the first day of the fourth month.
It's so far away, it's a rush to transport grain, if Chu Lixuan lives in Youzhou.
The farthest is more than 600 miles, which seems to be a lack of sincerity! King Zhenbei gave a thumbs up for his wit.
"That's far away, but you Dongchen only have food inside, and this prince can understand."
The two of them spoke Dongchen language, and the six princesses of Beiyue couldn't understand it, and there was no beautiful man here.
The sixth princess didn't want to guess, so she asked directly, "What did you say?" ”
"The Chu brothers have already gone back to prepare grain to trade with us." The third prince explained to her.
"What? Are they gone? Didn't you say that you went back to North Vietnam with Princess Ben? Third brother, what do you mean by this? ”
"When did they say they would come back to North Vietnam with us? Don't be cranky, you can eat in peace! ”
The third prince suppressed his anger and said that he was not the son of the queen, so in North Vietnam, his status was not as high as that of the sixth princess.
"Good! You actually helped outsiders deceive this princess, but this princess is your sister! Aren't you afraid that your father will punish you like this to this princess? ”
Hum! The third prince raised his eyes and looked at her deeply, then lowered his head and ate slowly.
Now, he negotiated the price of grain with the king of Zhenbei, or the supply of unlimited quantities, and he is the hero of North Vietnam.
The third prince did not believe that his father would punish him for a favored daughter.
If this time he didn't talk about so much food, the third prince might still be afraid that the sixth princess would go back to sue and be punished by his father.
The delicate princess, seeing that the third brother, who was usually obedient to her, actually ignored her this time, so she was making a lot of noise and refused to eat.
The envoys were still a little afraid of the queen, and patiently persuaded, "Sixth princess, this Chu Ye has to go back to prepare food, and after twenty days, we will start trading items." ”
"Yes! Sixth princess, when the time comes, you can go to the trading place, and you can meet Chu Ye. ”
"The sixth princess won't want your father and queen to be hungry!"
The main reason is that the six princesses don't eat, and they don't dare to move their chopsticks! Otherwise, who would be so active in persuasion!
The sixth princess is delicate and willful, but she still has some scruples about moving out of her father and queen.
Her maid also stepped forward to persuade her: "Princess, your health is in good condition, and twenty days will pass soon." ”
Everyone kept persuading, and the sixth princess barely ate.
