Chapter 75: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

In the face of everyone's noise, Yunyi was not flustered.

He raised his voice directly and asked the crowd:

"At present, except for Pingyang County, the food supply of other surrounding counties should be normal."

"It's just that these surplus grains are in the hands of grain merchants and wealthy families like Ye Gongzi."

"Ye Gongzi, am I wrong about that?"

After Yun Yi finished speaking, he looked at Ye Liangchen, who had an unkind face.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to nod and admit it.

Seeing that Ye Liangchen did not refute, Yun Yi smiled slightly, and continued to say to everyone:

"Now that the disaster has been happening for a few days, the government should also report the situation here to the imperial court."

"According to the experience of disaster relief in the past, the imperial court should soon mobilize food relief from the surrounding wealthy counties after receiving the news."

"It's just that there is a ground dragon turning over in front, and there is heavy rain in the back, and the road outside is unknown, so these grains can't be transported here for a while and a half."

When everyone heard this, their brows couldn't help frowning.

Although they don't want to admit it, what Yunyi said is likely to be the truth.

A few acute children have begun to shout:

"If so, won't the price of food in the city soon begin to skyrocket?"

If the relief grain from the imperial court cannot be delivered for a long time, then Linjiang County will have to face the problem of food shortage sooner or later.

Based on past experience, once there is a shortage of grain, I am afraid that those grain merchants will soon have to sit on the ground and raise prices.

For a while, people who did not have much food left at home had begun to hesitate at this time to go to the grain store to buy some food.

Zhao Zheng and Han Qingyun's expressions have changed from curiosity at the beginning to solemnity.

If the situation is as Yunyi suggests, then food prices will probably start to skyrocket soon.

Once those grain merchants start to raise the price of grain, I am afraid that even if they have money in their hands, they may not be able to buy grain.

"Yunyi, don't be alarmist here, the grain in the hands of those grain merchants and rich people is all private property, do you still want to rob it?"

At this time, Ye Liangchen was already a little panicked.

In case Yunyi's method is to rob the rich and help the poor, then he Ye family is afraid that he will be the first to suffer.

Although his Ye family prides itself on being a scholarly family, he is also secretly running some shops.

Among them, the biggest grain merchant in Linjiang City is the white glove of his Ye family.

"Ye Gongzi, don't worry, even if you want to do it, it will start with those grain merchants, and your Ye family will definitely not be in the first batch."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen's reaction was so big, Yun Yi couldn't help but sneer.

"Yunyi, you said so much, could it be that the solution is really to rob the rich and help the poor?"

"Yes! Don't be appetizing, tell me your solution! ”

"What solution can he have, it's just to grandstand here!"

……

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yun Yi was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and continued to speak:

"The solution is actually very simple."

"That is, the government will come forward and directly raise the purchase price of grain."

The government stepped in to raise food prices?

As soon as Yun Yi's words fell, everyone was stunned.

Isn't this Yun Yimo crazy?

Ye Liangchen has been listening intently.

When he listened to Yun Yi's words, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but start laughing.

"Yunyi, don't talk nonsense here!"

"If you can't think of a way, then quickly and obediently admit defeat, this master will definitely teach you with his heart."

Ye Liangchen's words also brought everyone back to their senses from their shock.

The lobby was suddenly noisy.

"I thought he was going to reason with those grain merchants!"

"Yunyi, how much benefit did those grain merchants give you?"

"I didn't expect this poor boy to hold back for a long time and come up with such a bad idea."

……

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, the ridicule on Ye Liangchen's face couldn't help but become a little stronger.

Even Zhao Zheng and Han Qingyun were staring at Yun Yi inexplicably at this time.

With their understanding of Yunyi, even if they can't think of any tricks, they won't be able to say a way to raise prices, right?

You must know that the current food price is actually much higher than usual.

If the government comes forward to raise the price of grain, I am afraid that the food supply in Linjiang City will soon have problems.

Unless the county commander Liu Gengnian wanted to kill himself, he would definitely not dare to do such a stupid thing.

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart at this time.

He thought that Yunyi was a rare talent, and he thought that after he obtained his fame, he would find a way to get him to the capital.

But now it seems that this guy's heart is nothing more than that.

As soon as he was provoked by everyone, he did such a sensational thing.

Han Qingyun, who was on the side, was faintly looking forward to it when she saw Yun Yi's confident eyes.

Regarding everyone's ridicule, Yun Yi did not panic at all.

After the hustle and bustle in the lobby had subsided a little, he said in a sarcastic tone:

"Sitting in a well and watching the sky, it is said that the sky is small, and the sky is not small."

As soon as Yunyi's voice fell, the lobby instantly became audible.

They didn't expect that instead of realizing his problem, Yunyi even directly mocked everyone for sitting in the well and watching the sky.

For a while, all the students present were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to come forward to argue with him.

It's just that before they could organize the language, Yunyi had already opened his mouth with confidence.

"Listen, I'll only explain once."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zheng and Han Qingyun intentionally or unintentionally.

"As things stand, rising food prices are almost inevitable."

"Therefore, instead of passively waiting for the price of grain to rise, the government should take the initiative and grasp the initiative of grain price adjustment."

"As long as the government can collect grain at a high price before the large-scale increase in grain prices."

"Even if you can't receive the grain from those grain merchants, you can still receive a lot of grain from those wealthy small households."

Speaking of this, before Yunyi could continue to speak, someone couldn't help but refute it.

"So you can indeed receive some food, but what about after the price of food has skyrocketed?"

"Yes! Once the price of this food rises, I am afraid it will be difficult to fall back. ”

"If the price of food remains high, it will be the people of our Linjiang County!"

……

Regarding everyone's worries, Yunyi directly scoffed.

Consistently high?

You are also underestimating the spontaneity of market regulation.

This time, Yun Yi didn't wait for everyone to finish, and directly coughed lightly and asked rhetorically:

"If the news of our high-priced grain collection in Linjiang County spreads, what will you do if you say that the people who have grain in their hands in the neighboring county towns will do?"

How?

Of course, it is to bring the grain to Linjiang County to sell!

At the thought of this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

This method seems to be really useful.

Yun Yi glanced around, and saw that everyone was dumbfounded, so he continued:

"If the price of grain rises to a certain extent, do you guess that a wealthy family like Ye Gongzi's family will secretly sell the grain at home?"

Wouldn't it?

Of course it has to be sold!

Food prices have not remained high.

If you don't take the opportunity to make a profit, you have a problem with your brain.

For a while, those scholars from ordinary families looked at Ye Liangchen's gaze, and the meaning was a little unclear.
