Chapter 282: Coming to the courtyard again, the wind and snow

After asking everyone about their intentions, Jia Huan basically figured out what these people were thinking and thinking, and immediately didn't say anything, and turned around and left.

Sitting in the carriage, Jia Huan lifted the curtain from time to time to look at the situation outside.

Along the way, many scholars were propagating public opinion on the streets, and the enthusiasm in the hearts of the scholars failed to make the court wake up, but in exchange for the miserable end of being driven away by the officials, and the court did not let these people gather at all.

Scholars feel that even the imperial court looks down on them, which makes it even more difficult for them to accept that they have always had strong self-esteem.

After a short moment of silence, he suddenly ran to the door of Ning Guofu, hoping that Jia Huan could be the representative of the world's scholars, and would rather be unyielding, firm and unyielding, and the main battle would not be peaceful.

"Hey, these people are really dazed, are they able to participate in such things? That's up to the adults in the temple to decide.....

The wind and rain are coming, and the building is full of wind, and I don't know who said that there was going to be a war.

Suddenly, the prices of grain, vegetables, meat, fruits, etc. in Shenjing City began to soar, and the standard of living was in a state of water and fire, and the best rice price per liter was more than 10 Wen (1 tael of silver is equal to 1000 Wen), and one tael of silver could be purchased from the market to about 150 catties of rice.

Today, 1 tael of silver can only buy 100 catties of rice.

And the price of rice is the same every day, black-hearted businessmen, in order to raise the price, hoarding Juqi, uniting, frantically plundering the wealth of the people, taking the opportunity.

Along the way, Jia Huan saw many rice shops in Shenjing City, many people crowded and eager to buy some rice grains for dinner, but often not long after the start of sales, they would be hung up by merchants with the words "Sold cleanly", and then they had to wait until the next day to buy again.

But when the next day arrived, it wasn't the same price as it was today.

A little bit of rice is released every day, and the hunger marketing is carried out, and when the price of rice is the same every day, all the food hoarded in his store is sold at the highest price, so as to make a lot of money.

This kind of damage trick can be described as not ruthless, and it almost takes half the lives of these ordinary people!

People with savings in the family are okay, and they can barely survive this difficult life by frugal food and clothing.

If the family has no savings, I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, I will have to sell my son and daughter to survive.

"The price fluctuations in the capital are so fast, isn't there anyone who comes out to take care of it?"

Jia Huan looked at the mountain and the Taoist in confusion and asked.

"My lord, the rice shops and other commercial territories in the capital are supported by the powerful people in the imperial court, and they are almost white gloves."

"After the price of rice rose, the magnates found that now that they could get more dividends and silver from the merchants, they would naturally not come out and take care of it. These powerful people in the capital not only do not control this matter, but instead add fuel to the fire, acting as a protective umbrella and backing for these black-hearted businessmen."

"Anyway, some of the people who starved to death were not close to them, and the left and right were just some poor and destitute ordinary people, and if they died, they would die, and it would be harmless."

"It's none of their business, they will never take care of such profitable things."

"Even if those good officials want to control one or two, but the officials and the senior level crush people to death, and there are people from above, they don't dare to target the powerful, so they have to stop and act as if they haven't seen anything."

"In this way, the black merchants are even more unscrupulous, but they are afraid that this price will continue to rise wildly, until the price and financial system in the entire capital is completely on the verge of uncontrollable collapse, and the current emperor may be able to reluctantly suppress it after he personally sends someone to intervene."

The people of Shanye Dao always pay attention to the situation in the world, and have made an in-depth analysis of the economic environment in various places in the world, especially the environment in Mobei, and continued: "The economic environment in Mobei is very wrong now, and many places in Mobei have been

There has been a rather serious food shortage."

"The grain in the granary has long been resold by the local officials and sold to the Huns at a high price.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Guan Zhong of the State of Qi relied on economic warfare to defeat the hostile countries, and used this clever plan to successively pit the Lu State, the Liang State, the Chu State, and the Hengshan State, and finally "Jiuhe Princes, One Kuang World", which can be called a master among the masters."

"The Huns hoarded huge quantities of grain, so much so that the price of rice skyrocketed in the desert north."

"The price of rice in Shenjing City is now one tael of silver for one hundred catties of rice, and in Mobei, it is one tael of silver for fifty catties of rice."

"According to the news we received from our shops in Mobei, under the temptation of such amazing profits, businessmen in many places took risks to get their own local grain out and send it to Mobei to make money, and the price difference was more than doubled."

"It can be said that if this continues, there will be no need for the Huns to send troops at all, it only needs to last for a year, and the entire Mobei will be completely ***, and the world will be self-defeating."

After analyzing this information, the people of Shanye Dao also broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, what a shocking conspiracy, this is the purest interests, through businessmen to bind the powerful, so that the world can bring about its own destruction, no wonder the emperor star was fluttering and confused a few days ago, I am afraid that there is a reason for this.

"It's terrible!"

Jia Huan also took a deep breath, pondered in his heart, looked at the mountain and wild Daoren, and asked, "How much grain do we still have in our hands?" If the economy collapses, will we be able to get through it?"

"I have been making secret preparations for the kingdom according to the statecraft I had drawn up with my lord, building high walls, accumulating grain, and delaying my claim to be king. At present, after the previous large-scale purchase and hoarding, there is already quite a lot of grain in our hands, and the price of the grain we purchased before is all the low-priced grain recovered when the grain price is the lowest, and if we do not count the loss in transportation, there is still a total of 890 million catties of grain, and if we sell it at a high price, we can make a profit of hundreds of millions of taels of silver."

"How is it possible that there is still so much food?"

Jia Huan was also a little surprised and surprised when he heard this, and after glancing at the mountain and wild Daoren, he said, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

He never thought that he, the chief strategist, would be so powerful, and secretly get so much food to store, which is really incredible.
