"Why is it that the price of food is being raised?"

Cao Cao asked incomprehensibly.

The price of grain was already high enough that they could not afford to buy grain, and if it was raised further, they could not afford it even more, and it would be useless to dig up more royal tombs.

Chen Zhou explained: "The higher the price of grain, those grain merchants or scholars who have a lot of grain will release a large amount of grain, and even attract grain merchants from other places to send grain to Puyang, and they all want to sell it to us, but the price of grain is so high, can they sell their grain when it comes?" ”

"It definitely won't sell."

Even Dian Wei can understand this relationship.

Chen Zhou said: "If you can't sell grain, it won't have much impact on local merchants, but what about foreign merchants? When they bring in grain, they can't sell a single bucket, and they have to bring it back, so won't they even lose money on the road? They are certainly not willing to lose, as long as there is a person who is willing to reduce the price at this time, then all the grain chambers in other places will follow suit and reduce the price, and the balance of high grain prices will be broken. ”

Now that supply is in short supply, grain merchants can raise prices at will.

However, a large number of grain merchants from other places poured in, which is an oversupply.

In addition, grain merchants from other places definitely don't want to lose money, and they go back if they can't make anything, which is a blood loss.

The only way is to reduce the price and sell it, and to push the price of grain to a point where they can accept it, and they will not lose money, and even make money, so as to achieve a new balance.

Cao Cao pondered Chen Zhou's words, and after pondering the meaning, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Okay, this method of crossing is good!"

He never thought that food could be played like this.

Raise the price of grain, attract grain merchants from other places, and those grains will not be able to leave when they come, and dig a few more royal tombs, so they are still short of grain?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao first laughed, and then asked with some concern: "This practice is very good, but will it be very immoral to practice?" ”

Chen Zhou said disapprovingly: "Why do you want such high morality in troubled times? If you want morality, then you can't dig up the royal tomb. The lord must remember that in the future, to be a traitor, moral standards can be had, but they cannot be restrained, and the most important thing now is to tide over the difficulties. ”

"Watayuki is right, I'm overthinking."

Cao Cao put aside all kinds of thoughts for the time being, raised a glass of wine and said, "Duzhi, I respect you!" ”

"Drink!"

Dian Wei saw that he could drink, and he also raised his glass.

The three of them drank a glass of wine, and the wine was warm, and their whole bodies were hot.

Although the wine of the Three Kingdoms era is not very good, it is better than nothing, and after two bites of barbecue, I don't know how comfortable it is tonight.

Not long after, someone brought back all kinds of ancient books that Chen Zhou wanted.

In particular, the local history of Yanzhou.

They checked which prince's tomb was within the Yanzhou range.

"Duzhi, Liu Chang can't do it."

Cao Cao quickly flipped to a name and said: "He is the second King of Zhongshan, the son of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, and the King of Zhongshan Mourning." ”

Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan?

As soon as Chen Zhou heard this name, he immediately remembered Liu Bei, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, but he didn't expect that the royal tomb of Liu Da'er's ancestor would be within Yangzhou, and asked, "Are you sure it's really in Yanzhou?" ”

He vaguely remembered that the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan was on the eastern side of Taihang Mountain.

How did you get to the tomb of King Wai of Zhongshan, and you came so far to Yanzhou.

However, after digging up Liu Da'er's ancestors, Chen Zhou also had no psychological pressure at all.

I don't believe in robbing tombs and damaging yin morality, just dig it up.

"It's in Chenliu!"

Cao Cao affirmed.

Chen Zhou said: "Then this King of Zhongshan, in two days I will arrange someone to find out the specific location of the tomb of King Wai of Zhongshan, and then decide to excavate." ”

As for how Liu Bei feels?

Then it has nothing to do with them, love is what it is.

Cao Cao said worriedly: "But Duzhi, if you go to dig the king's tomb and let people outside know about it, it will not have a good impact on your reputation." ”

Chen Zhou laughed, and said indifferently: "As long as you can help the lord calm the world as soon as possible, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, stable and prosperous, what is this infamy?" What's more, I'm an unknown person, so let others scold me. ”

"Watarituki!"

Cao Cao burst into tears.

In the past, Cheng Yu did not hesitate to cut human flesh in order to help him calm the world, and then Chen Zhou went to rob the tomb regardless of his infamy.

Cao Cao secretly thought in his heart that if he could conquer the world, he would definitely not treat Chen Zhou badly, and he could share the world with Chen Zhou.

If Chen Zhou could read his heart at the moment, he would be so frightened that he ran away directly.

What shares the world is just a lip service.

After confirming, the next unlucky egg was the King of Zhongshan, Chen Zhou and they continued to eat and drink, and the night before the New Year, it passed.

The next morning.

After Chen Zhou got up, he stretched his waist.

Today he didn't want to do anything, and he didn't bother to visit anyone, so he just lay down at home, so a trip was two days, and then he went out to inquire about the situation outside, and the first news he got was that the price of grain began to skyrocket, and it was super crazy, and the price of grain rose to more than 700 yuan, and you must know that under the premise of a normal economic system, it only costs more than 200 yuan for a grain of grain.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, one Hu was equal to one stone, "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "Hu, ten buckets." ”

Although it is said to be more than 200 yuan, it basically does not charge copper coins.

Only gold, jewelry, silk, silk, and silk were accepted.

The rise in food prices is completely crazy, but it is still only the early stage, and I don't know how much it will rise in the later stage.

"Boss Cao's movements are a bit fast!"

Chen Zhou said to himself: "But even if you don't deliberately raise the price of grain, it will rise to this price sooner or later, and it will continue to rise in the future, and you have to publicize the grain price here, so that other foreign grain merchants can also know." ”

The higher it rises now, the sadder the grain merchants will be in the future.

After tossing the incident of food shortage, I can almost go to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Zhou thought in his heart, took a general look at the city, and then went out of the city to Cao Ang's camp.

"Sir!"

Cao Ang knew that he was going to rob the tomb again, and he had been busy in the camp recently, and when he saw Chen Zhou coming, he said: "The flying tiger claws that Mr. wants, etc., are quite easy to build, but the King Kong umbrella is a bit troublesome, and it will take a few more days." ”

Chen Zhou said: "It's okay, we still have time, what about the small objects I asked you to create?" ”

"It's still being polished."

Cao Ang took out a small iron pillar and something that looked like a drill bit.

Someone uses a drill bit to drill holes in the iron pillars.

"It's built, but it's hard to drill a hole." Cao Ang explained.

Chen Zhou wants seamless steel pipes, and there is no manufacturing technology here, so he can only use the simplest way, which is drilling.

However, with two materials and materials with similar hardness, it is difficult for the drill bit to drill through the steel pipe.

Chen Zhou looked at it for a while, but he was not very anxious to get it, and said: "You slowly help me polish it, clean it up again, and when the King Kong umbrella is built, we will go to dig up the tomb of King Zhongshan." ”
