The death of Zhou Hu in Jingchengguan caused a lot of turmoil in Jinyang City, and the Xu family and the Deng family felt a trace of crisis. Especially the Deng family, there is no foundation of the family, it all depends on holding enough food in their hands to occupy a place in Jinyang. can be thought of that the new state pastor even Zhou Hu said that he would kill him, Zhou Hu was the captain of Taiyuan, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers in his hands, but after being killed, he still couldn't make a trace of waves.

Deng Yi came to the street with some irritability in his heart, the weather is very hot today, the warm sun is shining on his body, indescribably comfortable, Deng's house is located in Xicheng District, and the West Market is only one street away. Deng Yi walked slowly towards the West Market with two entourages, and there were still many refugees in the West Market, snuggling in groups and basking in the sun. Less anxious than before.

This made Deng Yi very uncomfortable, especially when he saw some refugees snoring comfortably in the sun. He felt that these people should hide in dark corners and shiver in the cold, or sell them to others to work as cattle and horses. How can you be as leisurely as now, when it's time to start eating, as long as you line up according to the rules, you can get hot Su rice.

Deng Yi snorted and turned to leave, but saw a few officials walking towards this side, Deng Yi stopped, and suddenly several officials came to their hearts. Maybe they came to arrest the refugees.

But instead of arresting the refugees, the officials posted a notice on the wall on the side of the street, and were immediately surrounded by a group of refugees, and the officials struggled for a long time to squeeze out.

Deng Yigang wanted to tell his entourage to step forward and see what was written on the notice.

But someone has already read it, but this person is not very literate, and his reading is a little stumbling.

In between, for several years. Compare. Do not board. This year is even worse. The Huns came to invade for no reason and took away my Wuyuan County. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and suffering from hunger. There is a heart for relief, but the state and county are short of money and food. I also ask all the villagers to endure their hunger for a while, and the government has come up with countermeasures. Attaching importance to businessmen and prospering trade is the solution.

Wangzhou Mu wants to build a market in five miles east of Jinyang, which requires a large number of people and craftsmen. 100 dollars a day, providing food. In special periods, it is really helpless to use work for relief. I hope that all the villagers will support themselves. Conscripts, go to the East Gate Lieutenant and fill out the paperwork.

Announce to the whole city, that I may know my intentions

The fourth day of the winter month of the fifth year of Zhongping

After the literate man finished reading, the people next to him immediately talked about it, but most of them didn't quite understand the meaning of it, so they shouted for the explanation of the literacy.

The literate was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, who was surrounded by everyone and asked, and suddenly blushed for a while, but still whispered.

"It probably means that the harvest has not been good in recent years, and it is even worse this year, and the Huns have come to attack again, destroying my homeland, and making the people of Wuyuan County suffer. I had to ask the merchant to transport the grain.

The governor wants to build a new one in the east of the city and ask everyone to help. A hundred dollars a day per person. Tube eating. I hope everyone can support themselves. Earn money on your own to support yourself, and if you want to go, go to the East City Gate to sign up"

"The governor is such a good officer, we only have food when he comes," said an elderly refugee.

"Then what are you waiting for, sign up for money?"

"I still have a hundred dollars a day, the key is to take care of the food, and I can buy some food when the time comes."

"Who says it's not, go, go, maybe not if there are too many people for a while" A group of younger people rushed through the crowd and ran towards the east gate.

The West Market, which was a little crowded just now, suddenly seemed a little empty, and only some women and children remained.

Deng Yi was dumbfounded, what does this state pastor want to do, from a new market in the east of the city, to merge the current situation of the state. It's funny that there are a few big businessmen who are willing to come. And let these refugees build a market, and build a market without timber or materials. With so much money, it is better to recruit more soldiers to fight against the Xiongnu, this is a little abnormal in the brain of the new state pastor.

But Deng Yi didn't bother to care, he didn't believe that Wang Gang could come up with any tricks at all. If you want to build a market, you need a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as countless copper coins. As for those merchants, there was not enough profit, and there were simply not a few people willing to come and merge the state.

Deng Yi came to his grain store and found that there was a long queue at the door to buy grain, which was two or three miles long. This made him a little confused. Because he was worried that Wang Gang would find trouble, the price of grain did not rise in the past two days, and he still maintained 420 yuan of rice. But what made him a little puzzled was that he vaguely felt that someone was raising the price of food, and he also sent someone to inquire about the arrangements of many Xu families.

When the person in charge saw Deng Yi coming, he hurriedly led Deng Yi to the inner hall and spoke.

"Second master, the grain in the warehouse is almost sold out, hurry up and ask the eldest master to send some"

Deng Yi's heart was puzzled for a while, the state pastor had already given porridge, why did his family's grain sell so quickly, this made no sense.

"How did it sell so fast. Is there still more than 20,000 loads a few days ago?"

"Second master, you said that you don't want to increase the price, other people's families are 500 yuan for rice, but our family is still 420 yuan for rice, which attracts a large number of people to come to buy"

"Five hundred dollars for rice" Deng Yi was taken aback, but he didn't expect these grain merchants in Jinyang to really want money.

"Yes, there are many people who are not in the grain business, and they also take out the grain stored at home to buy, and some go to Yanmen County or Hanoi County to buy grain."

"They dare, they all know that the grain is our Deng family, and there are still people who dare to fight the idea of food"

Deng Yi said angrily. There is also an unwritten rule among businessmen that you can't just do whatever you want to make money, because that will only disrupt the market. In the past, the Deng family went to various counties to buy grain and shipped it to various parts of the state for sale. But now someone actually stepped in, how could he bear it.

"Second master, people die for money, birds die for food, Yanmen County is only one hundred and fifty yuan of rice, and it is more than one hundred and fifty yuan to be transported to Jinyang, who will not be tempted, I heard that the grain in Hedong and Hanoi is cheaper, or two days. There will be a large amount of grain transported to Jinyang."

Deng Yi seemed to understand something, but he couldn't grasp the crux of the problem.

"Immediately send someone to inform the eldest lord to transport all the grain from Qi County, and sell as much as you can."

After Deng Yi finished speaking, he asked again.

"How much grain do we have in our storehouse?"

"It's less than 5,000 quintals, and it's estimated that it won't last until it's dark," the shopkeeper whispered.

"Then sell less, the price is the same as other people's first" Deng Yi couldn't help it, although he felt that it was a little inappropriate, but if he sold out the grain, and it would take at least two days for the grain from Qi County to arrive, then in these two days, their Deng family could only close the door. This was too big a blow to the Deng family's grain store.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and ran outside with a smile on his face.
