As a direct consequence of the large-scale purchase, the price of corn continued to rise, and all the corn collected was stored in hundreds of newly opened warehouses under the newly established shops. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

These hundred storefronts are all carefully selected, covering all areas of the entire Duchy of Leiden, and there are huge courtyards and warehouses behind each storefront, but in fact, all the warehouses are just decorations, the real warehouses are built underground, and the corn that was opened up by the abyss demon worm and purchased is stored in it.

With hundreds of stores full purchase, it is impossible for the price of corn on the market not to rise, but this time is different from the last time, the consumption of corn is very large, even if it is 150 million, it is impossible to buy it all, only a small part of it, Lu Yi is actually speculating now, buying what is sold, continuing to heat up the market, and then looking for opportunities to ship, with the support of huge funds, as long as not everyone sells at the same time, there will be no problems.

Merchants are all very good, watching the price of corn rise day by day, or even several times a day, who is willing to sell all the corn on hand at once? They all carefully control the shipment volume and control the market together, the higher the price, the more everyone earns, and no one is afraid that the money will be hot.

In the face of the chaotic market, the temporary political axe finally intervened, first carefully checked the matter of salt, but the villa had been resold to others, and the person who took over the manor bought the manor at a relatively low price, and he did not know who sold it to him.

After a careful investigation for several days, it was impossible to find out at all, and someone did carry out an attack and hype up the salt, but in a short period of time, it was impossible to find out who did it...... The people have long since fled from Leiden City, and more than 10 billion gold of profits have been swept away.

Of course, if you have to check it, as long as you are willing to pay attention, you can find out who did it sooner or later, but now the problem is not salt, but the problem of corn, if you can't quickly stabilize the market, let the corn continue to rise, then the people are afraid that they will starve to death, the price of corn is so high, how can ordinary residents afford it?

No matter what the world is, once the common people do not have enough to eat and are about to starve to death, they will rebel, which is the most taboo thing for any ruling class.

Therefore, there is no energy to investigate the salt matter now, everything is better to wait for the price of corn to stabilize and then talk about it, if the price of corn cannot be suppressed, even if it is found out who did the salt, it is meaningless, the country does not exist, you know who is responsible for the sabotage, what's the use?

Through a series of administrative means, the temporary political axe strongly intervened in the market, under the strong administrative order, all the businessmen had to lower the price of corn after resisting for more than half a month, and sold it according to the price set by the temporary political axe, and the disobedient people directly seized the property, confiscated the property, and the price of corn on the market plummeted instantly.

But now, everything is too late, before the temporary political axe entered the world, Lu Yi had already begun to ship, and when the temporary political axe intervention took effect, Lu Yi had already finished all the corn in his hand, and the funds in his hands increased from 15 billion to 30 billion!

With such a huge amount of money, Lu Yi's goal is naturally greater, aren't you administrative interference? Aren't you shipping at a low price? That's no problem, with so much money, Lu Yi continues to eat, you can eat as much as you want, the price can't be lowered, and the temporary political axe is afraid that it will fall.

As the money flowed out, most of the large shipments of various chambers of commerce were eaten by the Luyi Chamber of Commerce, although on the surface, they were all bought by ordinary residents, but in fact, these people were all members of the chamber of commerce, and everyone took turns to buy in different stores, and every purchase was a big bag, and then shipped to each store in batches.

Seeing the flood of inventory reduction, the heads of the chambers of commerce are red-eyed, obviously there are a lot of profits but they are not allowed to earn, they just press everyone, to ship at a low price, isn't this a whole person? The temporary political axe intervenes in the market like this, so what kind of business do you still do, all the temporary political axe is done!

With the passage of time, everyone's opinions on the temporary political axe are getting bigger and bigger, and the ordinary people have opinions, first salt, then corn, especially corn, although the price has been depressed some, but each shop sells in limited quantities, only selling 1,000 bags a day, and once it is sold out, it will be closed, and it will not be able to meet the needs at all, and it can only drink porridge every day.

Businessmen have a greater opinion on the temporary political axe, and they are not allowed to earn money if they have money, and administrative means interfere in normal business activities, does this not force everyone to die? What businessmen want is profit, but if you don't let everyone make money, then what are you pursuing?

In Leiden City, the major chambers of commerce are actually in the hands of the branch of the Shi Ang family, and everyone can't ask for power, can't govern, and it's always okay to make some money, right? But now that the temporary political axe has come to power, it's not even allowed to earn money, and this still makes people live?

Every day, watching the tide of money that originally belonged to him leak out, the resentment of each branch is getting deeper and deeper, and after a month, the resentment of all the chambers of commerce has accumulated to a certain extent, and in a fit of anger, they simply announced that the inventory is sold out, and the shops can only sell a hundred bags a day, and even so, it can't last long.

In the face of this situation, the temporary political axe was dumbfounded, the price sold by the merchants was too high, they could intervene administratively and force them to sell cheaper, but now that people are out of stock, can they still force everyone to conjure up corn to sell?

Of course, the temporary political axe also knows that maybe some chambers of commerce are indeed out of stock, but the vast majority of chambers of commerce are cheating, they definitely still have goods, they just don't want to sell them, but even if they know this, what then? Who knows where they hide the corn? This is impossible to check at all.

And even if they knew where everyone was hiding the goods? Do they dare to check it! Once they do check it, it will certainly cause a strong backlash, and their temporary political axe will not be far from being disbanded.

Nowadays, the price of corn has come down, and it seems that the residents can afford to buy it, but when the quantity is down, no matter how cheap the price is, but if you can't buy it, it is not equal to zero? Now the people in the whole city are not able to eat three meals, and even the high-ranking officials and nobles can only drink porridge every day, and the resentment is getting bigger and bigger.

If the salt is gone, you can eat less, but the corn is gone, although you can eat less, but it will be a day and a half a day, but this has lasted for a month or two, who can stand it? Even if the common people can bear it, those dignitaries and dignitaries can't stand it, and they are used to enjoying it in ordinary times, so how can they bear the pain of starvation?

As the situation continues to deteriorate, the branch families unite again, urging the temporary political axe to quickly find a way to solve the problem, if they can't solve the problem as soon as possible, then this temporary political axe will be disbanded, and a group of people will do it, whoever can solve the situation will come to power, and those who don't have the ability to get out of here quickly.

In the face of the pressure of the branches, the members of the Provisional Political Axe were very happy, and directly announced the dissolution of the Provisional Political Axe, although everyone was pursuing power, but since they came to power, the taste of power has not been enjoyed, but they have been living in dire straits all day long, and they can't even sleep well, a lot of things are waiting for them to deal with, and a lot of troubles are for them to solve.

I haven't been busy all night, and I haven't said anything good, but now I seem to have become a sinner, and I am still the kind of sinner who has a wine bag and a rice bag, which is something that everyone will never accept.

With the dissolution of the temporary political axe, the temporary political axe once again entered a state of no political axe, lost the restraint of the temporary political axe, the chambers of commerce once again liberalized the price, the price of corn rose all the way, ordinary people just spent a little money left, but still could not solve the problem of food and clothing, although the nobles and nobles could eat enough, but the price was too high and too high, so that everyone felt very uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of the dissolution of the temporary political axe of the old realm and the formation of the temporary political axe of the new realm, the Luyi Chamber of Commerce once again took advantage of the high price and began to ship a large number of goods, but within a few days, the new temporary political axe was formed, and under the intervention of the administration, the price was pressed down again.

With new funds, Lu Yi continued to eat, as much as he wanted, and soon the temporary political axe of the new first realm collapsed, and there was no way at all, so he had to disband again, but when the branches tried to form the temporary political axe of the third realm, the problem came out, and no one was willing to go!

In the face of today's situation, there is no good way at all, those who have grain refuse to sell, and those who have no grain cannot buy, this is the most fundamental contradiction, and no one has the ability to solve it!

So far, Lu Yi's funds on hand have basically dried up, but he has accumulated more than sixty percent of the city's corn, which is enough for the people of the city to eat for three years.

But even so, Lu Yi was still not in a hurry to stand up, because the temporary political axe of the new realm could not be formed for a long time, the price of corn rose again, and Lu Yi began to ship large quantities at a high price, accumulating a lot of funds for Panjiatai, and the price of corn at this moment was ten times higher than the original!

Although the price is very high, there are still a lot of people who can afford it, but civilians can't afford it, so the chambers of commerce make a lot of money, a large number of shipments, and soon the inventory is about to bottom out, and the remaining grain in Lu Yi's hands is only left to eat the people in the city for a year!

But in fact, up to now, the powerful have bought enough food in their hands for three years, and those who have no food to eat are all middle-class and lower-level civilians, and the food in Lu Yi's hands is enough for these people to eat for three years, enough to control the situation.

After selling a large amount of grain, the funds in Lu Yi's hands finally broke through the 100 billion mark! The entire Leiden City was already in chaos, and a large number of civilians began to gather to petition, and if the problem of everyone's food was not solved, it would definitely provoke a popular uprising.

In this world, everyone has to cultivate, and the same is true for civilians, although everyone's strength is not very high, but the vast majority of them are above the third order, around the fifth order, once they riot, they can't be suppressed at all!

The so-called ants bite the elephant to death, this is not a joke, the difference in quantity, sometimes not the quality can be made up, even if it can be defeated, but once the war really starts, even if it is won in the end, then the city of Leiden will be destroyed, directly into ruins, and the economy of the Duchy of Leiden will be regressed by decades!

Faced with this existential situation, the various branches of the Shi Ang family finally panicked, and under the secret guidance of Lu Yi, they passed a resolution that as long as someone can solve the current predicament and help the building to fall, they can take over the seat of the Grand Duke and become the lord of the Duchy of Leiden!

Of course, there is a premise for everything, no matter how capable outsiders are, they must be members of the Shi Ang family, no matter which branch they belong to, as long as they can solve the current troubles, they will temporarily become the main line, inherit the title of Grand Duke, and take over the throne of the country!

Although this resolution was passed, everyone was not optimistic, and they were prepared for the imminent dissolution of the Leiden State, and the current situation was that the grain was bought by the dignitaries and magnates, and it was impossible to take it out for the sake of life.

As for those chambers of commerce that use corn as their business project, they have also been sold short, and they are really out of stock, and now they can't take out food to sell to those civilians, let alone ...... Those civilians have no money in their hands, and the food fluctuations of the past three months have consumed every gold shield in their hands.

At this moment, all the food in the city is scattered in the hands of the magnates, where will the food of the civilians come from? If there is no food, the civilians will definitely rebel and rush into the homes of the magnates to grab food to eat...... It seems that it is no longer inevitable.
