This time, the knights did not question it and chose to believe Liang Xiao's statement.

The result is the most important thing.

The news that Liang Xiao ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain first came out of the Taishou Mansion.

The residence of the knight is the closest, and it is also the first time to understand the situation, and everyone is shocked.

"Open a warehouse and release grain? Does it mean that it is provided for free? ”

Considering the situation of Xiahou Qingyi, the person who Liang Xiao arranged to be responsible for communicating with the knights was the female Xuanwei who escorted Xiahou Qingyi and the others, Chen Ling.

The knights asked Chen Ling about the situation one after another.

Chen Ling explained: "The grain will be distributed to all urban areas, and every household can go to the designated place every day to collect the grain, so there is no need to buy ...... for the time being."

In the end, Chen Ling couldn't help but sigh.

The knights were pleasantly surprised, but they couldn't help but worry about Liang Xiao.

"It seems that the Marquis of Lanling only has 400,000 stone grain, even if he opens a warehouse to release grain, he won't be able to last long......" Xiahou Liukite said hurriedly.

Chen Ling smiled bitterly: "We are soldiers, everything is based on obedience, and Lord Hou has his own arrangements." ”

Xiahou Qingyi immediately pulled Xiahou Liukite back to talk secretly.

After a while, Xiahou Liukite came to Chen Ling to report: "The leader said that our side can offer 100,000 taels of silver tickets to support the Taishou Mansion." Can the Marquis of Lanling use these silver tickets to ease the price of rice? For example, let those rice merchants sell rice at the original price and privately subsidize them......"

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Master Hou told us in advance, it is not easy for you to eliminate harm for the people, and you can't be allowed to break the bank no matter what. Especially the girl in Tsing Yi. ”

Xiahou Qingyi sat aside, hearing the words, his heart was moved.

He seemed to have expected it......

"By the way, Master Hou still wants us to tell you, just live in peace, and the price of grain in Yanzhou will recover within half a month at the latest!"

The knights were all moved.

Many of them have their hometown in Yanzhou, and it is also their ambition to eliminate violence and peace in Yanzhou.

Food prices have skyrocketed, and the people have been furious.

As soon as I heard that the Taishou Mansion was ready to open a warehouse to release grain, the whole city rejoiced.

"I'll pay tribute to the Marquis of Xie Lanling!"

In any case, the food is now supplied for free, so let's get through it first!

"What? Liang Xiao opened a warehouse to release grain?! ”

In the academy, Duguchen, who had become an opinion leader, received the news and sneered.

"Four hundred thousand? Even if he had 800,000 stone of grain, how long could he hold out? ”

Duanmu Yan on the side snuggled in Duguchen's arms, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Even if he has two million stones, it's useless! The autumn harvest is still very early, Yanzhou can't hold on! If you ask for help from Dujun and mobilize all over the country to transport grain to support Yanzhou, the freight you will pay will be more than 300 wen per stone of rice! ”

"After all, Youzhou is self-sufficient, and we have snapped up so much food, there is no longer enough surplus food to support Yanzhou!"

Duguchen raised Duanmuyan's chin with a look of relief: "I haven't seen you for a year, you are becoming more and more smart and clever." ”

Duanmu Yanjiao laughed, her pretty face crimson.

Duguchen saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart.

It's a pity that her beauty, temperament and talent are not as good as Mu Qinxue......

The shocking glimpse when he first saw him made him unforgettable in his life.

You must snatch her back from Liang Xiao!

The only way...... It's that Liang Xiao must die!

"As long as the people of Yanzhou change, Beihu marches lightly and forcibly breaks through, Yanzhou is within reach, and Liang Xiao will definitely die!"

"It would be better if the Northern Hebei Army was also willing to dispatch and be a pawn of the Beihu people and a substitute for the dead ghosts......

In the northern Hebei military camp.

Long Wushuang returned for many days, and also received the news that the price of food kept rising.

"What do you think?" Long Wushuang asked.

"This son is ruthless, and he will be able to solve the food shortage. It is better for you to send charcoal in the snow than to put the icing on the cake, leaving this person's connections, and he will be of great use in the future, rather than having a bad relationship with him. The Ten Directions Dao Leader on the side praised.

Long Wushuang is finally at ease.

The little food he brought with him could not affect the situation in Yanzhou, so it was better to be a favor.

Fortunately, the Ten Directions Dao Leader can also understand his thoughts.

"What we have to do now is how to use this relationship and wait for the situation in Yanzhou to stabilize before making plans."

"The two heroes of the Tuoba clan escaped alive, and they will never give up, and there will be a crisis in Yanzhou."

The two discussed and decided to let the Northern Hebei Army temporarily lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to move.

The news that Liang Xiao raised the price of rice to 500 wen quickly spread to Jixian County, the capital of Youzhou.

This time, even Taishou Zhuge Qi was shocked.

"What does this son want......

The ram laughed so hard that his mouth almost cracked.

He had already foreseen the collapse of Yanzhou and the end of Liang Xiao's sin.

It would be even better if Liang Xiao could die at the hands of the Beihu people who took the opportunity to invade Yanzhou, or at the hands of the mob.

The rice merchants who were hoarding grain in the towns around Yanzhou confirmed the news that the price of grain in Yanzhou was raised by Liang Xiao to one hundred and fifty wen and one stone!

"Here's your chance!"

More and more rice merchants began to go out.

But there are still some Maison rice merchants who are on the sidelines.

"I heard that Liang Xiao opened a warehouse to release grain, in case there is a fraud......"

Liang Xiao was reviewing everyone's official documents in the Taishou Mansion, and Xuanwei sent an urgent report.

"There are a large number of grain trucks in the surrounding area to Yanzhou, and it will arrive in about three days!"

Liang Xiao put down the official document and asked anxiously: "Judging from your previous investigation, what is the approximate proportion of grain trucks for these operations?" ”

"Less than half, to be sure!"

Liang Xiao frowned and said, "Okay! Three days later, the price of grain will be raised to 250 wen and one stone! ”

Xiahou Qingyi lives in his new home in Yanzhou and quickly understands the recent situation in Yanzhou.

One hundred and fifty wen and one stone, so the price of grain has been maintained for three days, and the people of the whole city have relied on the Taishou Mansion to open a warehouse and release grain, so they can barely tide over the difficulties.

In peacetime, Yanzhou only had this rice price when the famine was severe.

Hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou people can't keep opening warehouses to release grain......

"The Marquis of Lanling has an order! The price of grain has risen to 250 cents and one stone! ”

The men sent by the Taishou Mansion shouted everywhere and posted announcements, waking up the pensive Xiahou Qingyi.

"Two hundred and fifty wen? Yesterday it was only one hundred and fifty wen......" The knights looked horrified.

"Is it because the rice merchants still refuse to sell?" After Xiahou Liukite was puzzled, he shook his head violently, "It's not right! Now that the people rely on the relief of the Taishou Mansion, it is impossible to buy such expensive food......"

Duguchen in the academy received the news and frowned: "What does he mean by this?" Attract more rice merchants back? ”

Duanmu Yan sneered: "Two hundred and fifty wen and one stone, which is not enough for the price of rice in wartime~ The Liang family army he brought was selected by 10,000 people, and the grain and grass needed were incalculable, how long can Qin Shuang's short-sighted waste sell his 400,000 stones? ”

Duguchen was thoughtful, frowned, and said: "This person is cunning, let's be careful, don't rush back to Yanzhou ...... our rice merchants."

"The price of grain has been raised to two hundred and fifty wen and one stone?!"

The official documents issued by Yanzhou were even sent to the rice merchants.

"Confirm the news, the price of grain in Yanzhou is indeed set at two hundred and fifty wen and one stone!"

Within a day, all the rice merchants around Yanzhou received news one after another, and rushed to Yanzhou with the grain they had evacuated from Yanzhou.

The price of grain has been maintained at 250 wen and 1 stone for more than three days.

In addition to the fact that the food in the inn is a little more expensive, the people of Yanzhou do not feel the inconvenience of life.

In three days, all the evacuated Yanzhou rice merchants recorded by Xuanwei returned.

After Liang Xiao read the roster of rice merchants in his hand, he took the case.

"Immediately issue a notice: Yanzhou was invaded by a large army of Beihu cavalry, and the city was closed on the same day, and anyone entering or leaving Yanzhou must obtain the consent of the Taishou Mansion! Then lower the price of grain to 20 wen and 1 stone, and then go to the counties of Youzhou to announce the matter three days later! ”

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of Qin Baili and the others, Liang Xiao smiled coldly.

"These family rice merchants who dare to create a food shortage, from today onwards, will spit out for me with profits!!"
