Chapter 172: Food Prices

Liang Qu stood up, feeling the difference in qi and blood in his body.

Compared with before the practice, it is a little mellow.

"It's a pity that the dragon and tiger's golden body is far behind, but the strength is beginning to show results, and it is more smooth and comfortable to carry qi and blood."

The condensation of the golden body is the biggest feature of the "Diamond Sutra of Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger", although it is divided into multiple stages.

The deeper the cultivation, the stronger the golden body, and if it is assisted by the corresponding heavenly and earthly treasures, it can accelerate the cultivation.

But in any case, it is impossible to condense successfully as soon as you get started, so this exercise is too shocking.

The dragon tendon and tiger bones are beneficial to the condensation of the golden body, and Liang Qu itself is favored by the emperor of Sichuan, and his martial arts talent has doubled, and the learning speed of exercises and martial arts is faster than ordinary people.

Even so, if you want to initially condense the golden body, without the natural treasure, it will take no less than a few months.

Liang Qu didn't know how fast others were, and he thought it was far inferior to his own.

He is very greedy for the effect of the dragon and tiger's golden body, especially the characteristics of the dragon and the tiger's roar, deterring the sneaky, and punishing the evil and subduing the demon.

The exercises in the Great Gong Exchange Book are extremely rich, and the characteristics are varied, although he didn't look carefully, but there is no kind of exercise with such characteristics in his impression, and it is rare to think about it.

There are all kinds of strange things in the world, and any strange phenomenon will appear as long as it is found in a large enough area.

It's definitely not a bad thing to have more skills that are rare.

"Comfortable! Go to bed! ”

After returning from Fengbu County, Liang Qu got two days off and had no idea of rushing to work.

Hit a worker, rest for a night.

The next day.

Mrs. Zhang, who was cooking, pushed the door through the side door and saw Liang Qu wielding Fubo and practicing marksmanship in the courtyard.

"The owner is back?"

"Yes, I came back last night, Aunt Zhang is early, you can make more breakfast, oh yes, I won't eat at home tonight, it's enough to be a master alone."

"The poor monk has something to do tonight, so you don't have to keep food for me."

The old monk pushed open the door and came to the courtyard and saluted.

Liang Qu nodded, and didn't ask the old monk what he was going to do, the two of them lived under the same roof to take what they needed, so it was not good to ask more.

"Then don't cook tonight, Aunt Zhang will go back to rest after cooking at noon."

Aunt Zhang nodded yes.

Liang Qu gave her a holiday, and her monthly salary was a lot, and she was happy to have half a day of leisure.

"By the way, Aunt Zhang, are food prices still rising recently? If it goes up, I'll give you some more money to save you not enough. ”

Liang Qu took out a silver ingot from his arms.

Lian Wu has a big appetite, and he wants a lot of beef and mutton for dinner, and the meal money alone is a lot of expenses every month.

Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "Enough, enough, the price of grain has fallen!" ”

Liang Qu wondered.

"Fall? How did it fall? It's not time to harvest grain in April, right? ”

"Just last day, my man told me that now the polished rice in the rice shop has 13 wen a catty, which is not as good as the previous 8 wen a catty, but it is also much cheaper.

I don't know how it fell, but after two or three days, it suddenly fell. ”

Aunt Zhang danced and gestured.

She was very excited, but her knowledge was limited, and she didn't understand why the price of rice would fall when the grain was not harvested.

"It's a prefectural order."

The old monk on the side spoke.

"Master, do you know?"

On the day the donor left, the county government ordered to raise the price of grain in the county again, selling grain at a price of 20 wen per catty, which was higher than the original market price of 2 wen.

Later, he sent people along the river to ask for food, and publicized it widely, and the old man carefully read it, and the people who spread the news mainly traveled along the river.

Huainan has developed transportation, and there are many grain storage facilities along the river, and grain is overabundant in many places.

On the fifth day, merchant ships came to sell grain, and since then, more and more have been added one after another, and the ports of several surrounding towns and villages have been crowded with grain ships.

Until the day before yesterday, the county decree no longer raised prices, and grain prices plummeted. ”

"I see."

Liang Qu suddenly.

It's not okay to reduce the price, but the businessman is too happy to raise the price, and he is afraid that the county government will not agree, but he didn't expect to pit himself, it is all grain, where can he sell it at a price.

No wonder on the way back, he saw several large merchant ships following him in the direction of Pingyang County.

Traders are looking for profits, presumably they have not heard the news that food prices have fallen?

It is not so simple to transport grain, and the labor cost plus loss, if it is only the price of thirteen or four cents a catty, it will definitely not attract people.

If it comes and goes, it is very likely to cause a loss, and it is far better to sell it locally.

After it came, the county ordered to stop collecting grain, and the business could only sell it on the spot, because bringing it back was another loss and cost, and the original local grain price was not as good as Pingyang County.

The lack of grain in Binh Duong is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, and there was no major flood or drought in the first two years, and the grain reserves in many surrounding areas are very sufficient.

In another place, it will definitely not have such an effect.

……

After eating at noon, Liang Qu went to the stable to ride up the Red Mountain, carrying a large pile of gifts to Pingyang County.

On the way, Liang Qu looked at the construction of the river mooring, and the soldiers and men were more or less warriors.

Their hands and feet are much faster than ordinary people, and their efficiency is multiplied, and the whole river berth has become a good place, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the office location can be changed from a building boat to a land.

After all, there are many inconveniences on the ship.

On the other side of Pingyang County, the construction of the mansion of the Demon Suppression Division is also in an orderly manner, and the progress is one after the other.

When Liang Qu passed by, he saw a martial artist carrying a large wild boar more than four meters long, disemboweling and selling wild boar, and occasionally a warrior passed by and bought more than a dozen catties.

Look at the boar's physique, it is definitely a refinement, I don't know where it was caught.

Replaced by the previous Pingyang Town, this scene can rarely be seen.

A bustling scene.

It is not unreasonable for the master to love Zatui, and if you want to eat some spirit meat in a small place, you can't find a place to buy and sell.

When ordinary people earn money, they have to move to the county seat.

Powerful martial artists even want to go to the mansion, go to the imperial capital, and fight for the ethereal wealth.

Passing by the martial arts hall, Liang Qu dismounted, turned out two of the many gift boxes, and walked through the corridor.

"Senior Brother Hu, Senior Brother Xiang! I am back! ”

"Senior Brother Liang!"

Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong were teaching apprentices, and seeing that it was Liang Qu, they let the apprentices practice on their own.

Unexpectedly, a few steps closer, both of them noticed Liang Qu's undisguised martial arts aura, and their expressions were different.

Hu Qi stepped out and grabbed Liang Qu's shoulders and looked up and down.

"Senior Brother Liang, you, have you broken the blood barrier?"

"Senior Brother Hu has good eyesight! From today onwards, junior brother, I am a four-level martial artist of the Eight Classics! ”

Liang Quxi smiled and divided the things in his hand with the two of them.

"Hurry, too fast."

Xiang Changsong took the gift box, he thought that it would take a while for Liang Qu to catch up with him, but he didn't expect it to be almost the front foot and the back foot.

He still clearly remembered Liang Qu's appearance when he first came to the martial arts hall, thin, dark and short, and only knew how to be polite.

In a blink of an eye.

Strong, bright, warm, that youthful vigor comes out.

"yes, that's great."

Xiang Changsong patted Liang Qu on the shoulder, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Hu Qi took the gift box and asked, "Why did you think of sending us something and getting into trouble?" ”

"No, it's a happy event!"

The news of the river park is only spread within the river station, and Hu Qi and others do not know it for the time being.

Liang Qu told about his experience in Fengbu County.

"I thought it was an ordinary spirit causing trouble, but I didn't expect to give me two great merits and a large sum of silver for no reason, Brother Xu said that I was expected to be promoted to an official position, and I couldn't help but be happy, so I bought some gifts and celebrated with my senior brother!

I have booked a restaurant box last night, and when I go to find Master and Master, we will chat together in the evening! ”

Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong scratched his head when he heard it.

What year is it?

Liang Qu has only been away for less than half a month, right?
