"So you're trying to force the people of the city to death?"

The expression of the shopkeeper of the grain shop was very exaggerated, "I can't help it, I can't afford this responsibility as the shopkeeper of the grain shop, don't scare me, the official."

Ning Husheng said it a few times, and the other party insisted on not reducing the price, and the people could afford it for the time being, but they couldn't buy it a few times.

But although they are officials, they can't act indiscriminately, but they can't help each other, and now that the people are counting on them, Ning Husheng stood in place and thought for a while.

"If you want to buy food here, you can buy it, and if you don't want to, you can go to other food stores, but the big guy has to go back first, and we will notify everyone to go in the evening."

If these people are brought over in a hurry, I am afraid that it will affect the progress of other people's grain purchases, and then affect the city's public order.

"Who can afford such expensive food? Forget it, let's wait a little longer and come out in the evening to buy a cheap one. Buy one bucket here, and buy four buckets anywhere else."

"That is, most of the shops in the city are closed right now, and we can't even find a place to work, and without income, who would dare to spend a lot of money."

Then everyone dispersed, cursing the shopkeeper of the grain store along the way.

"Uncle Husheng, I have to tell my father about this as soon as possible." Ning Qingxi's face was serious, today's matter should be just the beginning, there are many big merchants who open grain shops in their city.

Ning Husheng's expression was a little ugly, "I know, Xixi, auntie, then you go back first, and I'll go to report to Brother Changrong."

Ning Qingxi shook his head, "I'll go with you, I also have something to tell my father."

How dare a small grain shop shopkeeper be so rampant? There must be someone behind him, Ning Qingxi doesn't want the county to be in such a mess.

Wang Xiujuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, then Xixi, you will go with Husheng, and I will go outside the city to have a look."

originally thought that her granddaughter was worried, but after watching this scene, Wang Xiujuan also figured it out, and she should pay more attention outside the city.

The three of them acted separately, and Ning Qingxi and Ning Husheng hurriedly walked into the county office.

"Brother Evergreen!"

"Daddy!"

Hearing the hurried voices of the two, Ning Changrong raised his eyes, "What's wrong? Sissy, why are you here too? Is there something wrong with the family?"

Ning Qingxi shook his head, "The family is fine."

Ning Husheng explained, "Brother Changrong has an accident outside."

Ning Husheng briefly explained the increase in grain prices today.

Ning Changrong nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile, "Yes, you handled this matter very well today, you go back first, I already know about this matter, and I have to work hard at night to help that group of people buy food."

Ning Husheng shook his head, what kind of hard work did he have, "It's okay, Brother Changrong, everyone knows it, if it weren't for your good governance, how could there not be a single case of plague in our city right now?" It's okay to work hard, everyone lives in this city, and it's hard work for their families."

Ning Changrong smiled and said a few words of encouragement, and Ning Husheng retreated.

"Dad," Ning Qingxi's face was stern, "this matter is not simple."

Ning Changrong chuckled, "You think your father and I are stupid? I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I was already working on the layout when you reminded me the other day."

Ning Qingxi was surprised, "Dad, do you mean that you have already thought of a solution?"

Ning Changrong shook his head, blew the tea on the side of his mouth, and drank it before saying, "They don't want to sell grain, it's just that they think that grain can jam our necks, don't you know if others don't know?" Your Uncle Han Ting, Uncle Hong Lin has brought a lot of grain back."

He squinted his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, no matter how much money they make now, they won't be able to take a cent away anyway."

Seeing Ning Changrong's very confident appearance, Ning Qingxi knew that he was too worried, "That's good! Dad, you just have to know in your heart, I'm worried that they want to eat human blood steamed buns, and if they don't have money to buy food, there will definitely be turmoil among the people in the city."

Ning Qingxi shook his head and sighed, "Hey... Even if we are

opposite, but it is too inferior to cut these people."

Ning Changrong sneered, "There are no people in these people's hearts, in their minds, only their own people are people, and everyone else is pigs and dogs."

"Okay girl, you don't have to think so much, there is a father." Ning Changrong stood up and touched Ning Qingxi's head.

"Hmm." Ning Qingxi said with concern, "Dad, you have worked hard, you must also take care of your body, and you must eat at noon."

Now Ning Changrong eats lunch at the county office, and everyone is as busy as a spinning top, and it is rare to even eat hot rice.

"Don't worry, Daddy knows it." Ning Changrong touched his nose, his eyes a little fluttering.

Ning Qingxi knew that the other party was lying as soon as he saw these small actions, and his tone was dissatisfied, "Dad!"

Ning Changrong hurriedly coaxed, "Okay, okay, my father promises, I will definitely eat well."

Ning Qingxi gave up at this time, "Then I'll go, I won't bother you, Dad, you can be busy."

At the gate of the county office, Ning Changrong called Ning Daniu, "You help me send Xixi to my home. Send people back and you come back, I'll be in the county office, and I don't need your protection."

Ning Da Niu said, "Okay, wrap it up on me."

……

Grain shop backyard.

"The owner, it has risen from 20 yuan to 80 yuan of rice according to your instructions, but no one has come to buy it. Only a few families who are not short of money are willing to buy it, and the others have been arranged to buy food at night in other grain stores."

The proprietor said slowly, "Their grain can't last long, the food in this city mainly depends on us, and the outside trade routes are blocked by our people, they can't get new food, and they can only beg us when the time comes."

The shopkeeper of the grain shop patted his ass and said, "The owner is high, think about letting them take advantage of more than half a month in vain and panic, isn't it normal for the price of grain to rise in this world? If you don't have money, don't live, it's really unlucky!"

The owner said, "If the price continues to rise tomorrow, I want them to know that if you don't buy it today, it will only be more expensive tomorrow."

The shopkeeper of the grain shop said, "Good owner, tomorrow it will rise to eighty-five yuan for doumi."

The proprietor smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, remember to privately bid to buy the grain back from those people, and there will always be people who are willing to sell it when they see the money."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "It's still the owner who thinks far! That's right, as long as we add a few pennies, they will definitely be willing to sell us all the grain, and if they don't, I will add a little more, and the money will definitely go back to our pockets anyway."

The proprietor smiled with satisfaction, "Clever, remember to be more concealed when looking for someone to do it, and don't rob it, it will be very troublesome to provoke those servants who are like dog skin plasters."

"Don't worry, the villain is definitely reliable."
