"Old prince, something is wrong!"

The old butler trembled like chaff, and rushed to the study of the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, the old prince was still frowning and thinking. Seeing that the old butler was so flustered, he couldn't help frowning.

"What the hell is going on? So panicked! ”

"At your age, you shouldn't be!"

"Old prince, something really happened!"

The old butler gasped as he spoke:

"The price of food in the lockdown has plummeted!"

"What did you say!?"

The old prince only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person fell straight to the ground.

When the old butler saw this, he immediately exclaimed and shouted loudly:

"Come on! The old prince fainted......"

About an hour later, the old prince woke up leisurely.

At this moment, his face is like gold paper, like an old man who is about to die.

"Butler, ahem, where's the butler?"

"What happened in this lockdown and why did food prices plummet?"

At this moment, the old housekeeper was standing by the bed, his face was already full of tears.

"Old prince, today's lockdown suddenly broke into a large number of businessmen."

"They seem to have premeditated and set the price of food at one-tenth of the market price. And it's sold in unlimited quantities! ”

"The East Market, the West Market, the South Market, and the North City are full of merchants selling grain."

"Yang Dong!!"

"This kid must be playing tricks in the dark!!"

"This king is going to kill him, cough cough cough ......"

The old prince was in a hurry, and there was a series of violent coughs.

Seeing this, the maids immediately stepped forward to take care of them.

"Go, order all the private soldiers of the palace to come out and arrest all these merchants!"

"Go!"

The old butler sighed deeply, but did not act immediately.

His wrinkled old face flashed with despair at this moment.

"Old prince, it's late, it's too late!"

"As soon as these businessmen entered the lockdown, they played the banner of the Changcheng branch."

"They said that all their grain came from Changcheng. The price of grain in Changcheng is even cheaper than what they sell! ”

As soon as these words came out, the old prince couldn't bear it anymore, a mouthful of old blood spurted out of "wow", and his body fell into a coma again.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!"

"Doctor, call the doctor!"

Suddenly, the entire city lord's mansion was in chaos. The old butler sighed deeply, pondered for a moment, and instructed the old prince's henchmen:

"So far, we can only sell this grain as much as possible to recover the loss."

"You must do this well."

"Hope...... Let's take back one percent! ”

"Alas! This time, we lost......"

……

Huwei Army, Barracks,

Lei Qiangtie blushed and listened carefully to the advice of his subordinates.

"Deputy Commander Lei, the price of grain in the current lockdown is not even as good as 10% of our purchase price."

"And because the merchants brought too much grain, the price of food is still falling."

"See if we want to ...... Continue to sell your food? ”

When Lei Qiang heard this, a touch of pain flashed in his eyes.

"Sell, why not!"

"We are an army, what do we need so much food!"

"Remember to Lao Tzu, no matter how cheap the price is, you must quickly throw out the excess grain!"

……

So, in the midst of the lockdown,

Yesterday there was no price of grain, but now it is all over the city.

Originally, these merchants brought a lot of grain here.

The City Lord's Mansion and the Huwei Army have almost moved out of their inventory at this moment.

All of a sudden, the price of food in the lockdown was even less than half of the day before yesterday!

And even at this price, there are still very few people who buy in large quantities.

The reason for this is because of people's herd mentality.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that now that there is an oversupply of food, the price will fall again!

So apart from the daily rations, the rich families did not buy them in large quantities.

This has exacerbated further declines in food prices.

The price of food in the city under lockdown is like the price of Yang Dong's previous life.

When the price rises, people flock to it, and the market is hot.

But once the price is reduced, it will be a door, even if it is a real need, it will choose to be a waiting party.

In this way, the famine in Los Angeles was solved.

Yang Dong took this opportunity to not only earn a lot of silver, but also build a number of high-speed official roads for Luozhou.

And even he didn't expect that this batch of high-speed official roads would play an unimaginable role in the near future!

Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.

Three days later, the price of food in the lockdown has dropped to an unbelievable level.

And Yang Dong finally received a handwritten letter from the empress.

The letter is very short, and with punctuation, it is only six characters in total.

"Youzhou is in danger, return quickly"

Yang Dong read the secret letter, so he put it on the candlestick and burned it out.

He sighed softly, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.

Unfortunately, if they can be dried for a few more days, there is still room for the price of this grain to fall.

It's just that I don't have time to play with you!

"Xiao Jia, pass my order to exchange all the silver in our hands for food."

"When I return to Beijing this time, I want to give Your Majesty a big gift!"

When Yao Jia heard this, a hint of joy flashed between her eyebrows.

These days, she has long been unhappy with Yan Bingyue's fox.

On the surface, she pretends to be a cold woman who is clear and jade, but in fact she is a complete charm.

It's better to return to the palace as soon as possible, so that Yang Gong will not be confused by that fox.

Maybe when I return to the palace, I will have a chance......

Thinking of this, Yao Jia felt that her thighs seemed to be a little slippery.

……

lockdown,

In a secluded tavern,

Yao Rui picked up his wine glass and saluted his brother.

"Big brother, now it seems that Yang Gong has the advantage."

"I really didn't expect that the old prince, who has been operating in Luozhou for many years, would end up with such a fiasco, which is really embarrassing!"

Yao Qi picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

In his eyes, a flash of admiration flashed.

"This Yang Gong is really a hero and a young man!"

"At such an age, he has set up such a chess game that hides the world. To this day, I only realized it later, and I got a glimpse of the whole leopard in the tube. ”

"Xiaorui, in the future, when you follow Yang Gong, you must do things seriously."

"If it is expected by my brother, this son will become a great weapon in the future."

Yao Rui nodded,

"Don't worry, brother. I have a decision in my heart. Besides, you forgot, our third sister is still serving by Yang Gong's side. ”

"How could I forget!"

A wry smile flashed on Yao Qi's face,

"Yang Gong is so young and promising, with the character of the third sister, he must have already secretly agreed."

"It's a pity that the third sister is just an ordinary palace maid and can't become Yang Gong's wife. Speaking of which, it's not for my brother. ”

Yao Rui shook his head, disagreeing with his brother's opinion.

"Big brother, this is a bad statement. You are not in the palace, and you don't know how Yang Gong won His Majesty's trust. ”

"Let's put it this way, even if Your Majesty marries the eldest princess to him, it is not impossible!"

"Eldest princess? Are you referring to the seventh sister of Your Majesty today, the eldest princess of Qingyang? ”

Yao Qi looked startled,

"But Yang Gonghe...... Isn't it a eunuch? ”

"Doesn't this prove that Yang Gong is deeply favored?"
