Chapter One Hundred and Nine; Return to the capital
Not only that, but they also arranged for people to spread the news everywhere.
As a result, the price of the capital has increased, and people from all over the surrounding areas have naturally raised it when they see that the price here is so high.
The price has increased from five or six wen per catty to seventeen or eighteen wen per catty, which is about to catch up with the current price of mutton.
And the reason they use is also very simple, mutton is scarce, chickens, ducks and geese are naturally scarce, and the price is normal.
Let's talk about the current price of mutton, one pound has soared to twenty wen a pound.
With the continuous rise in prices, many people have begun to give up the mutton market, but to the poultry market, after all, the price of chickens, ducks and geese in front of them is only five or six yuan a catty.
Even if it has risen to seventeen or eighteen now, it is still more cost-effective than the price of mutton that is still rising.
And those who have money, big fish and big meat are also the norm, even if they know that there is a problem, they will still spend money to buy it.
Someone buys it, and the Zheng family can not only make money, but also block Huo Junyao's side, the best of both worlds.
"Interesting."
Huo Junyao's eyes glowed with cold light.
This Zheng family is really arrogant enough, and he dares to make her so uncomfortable.
The eldest princess of Ningyang on the side was already so angry that she was about to burst out.
"I don't believe that I can't clean them up."
Then, she got up directly and returned to the main courtyard, which was planning to write a letter to the capital and ask Huo Jingzhi to find a way to impeach the Zheng family for maliciously raising prices.
Now, during the Zheng Snow Disaster, and the previous emperor has ordered a war with the Turks, domestic grain has begun to become scarce, and many merchants have begun to raise prices one after another.
However, it has not yet reached the point where it is out of control.
But this sign has appeared, and now Zheng's approach has given her a handle.
"Miss, what are we going to do next?"
"Now that the price is so high, it is natural that we have to stop."
Hearing this, Red Sleeves was a little reluctant, after all, the income of three or four times a day, just stop it when you say it?
"Miss, since the price is high now, then we can also raise the price appropriately."
"No, isn't this tantamount to a compromise like the Zheng family?"
Compromise is impossible to compromise, she can not do this business, and she will definitely not let Zheng's bastards win.
"So that's it?"
"Count? Naturally, it can't just be just that. ”
She knew very well what the Xingyang Zheng clan and the establishment of these scholars was.
The greatest reliance of these scholars is nothing more than three things, the first is naturally the reader, then the book, and the last is the paper.
The rice paper used in the Yu Dynasty now is basically from the workshop of the scholars.
And they basically monopolize books, and the few that circulate outside are scattered and incomplete.
"Everything will wait until the beginning of spring next year, and now the money in our hands is enough to meet the needs of construction in the spring of next year."
Now she has seventy or eighty yuan in her hand, even if she can't continue to make lo-mei, there are still vegetables to sell, although the income is not as good as lo-mei, but the daily expenses are not a big problem.
As for Zheng, hum, it's just paper and books, and she doesn't seem to know how to do it.
If you dare to provoke her, then don't blame her for cutting the roots of the warrior clan.
For the next period of time, Huo Junyao did not continue to produce lo-mei.
And there is no goods on her side, and Zheng's side is happy.
During this time, they made a lot of money, not only made money, but also taught Huo Junyao, who didn't know how to lift.
As for the matter of the eldest princess of Ningyang asking Huo Jingzhi to find a way to impeach the Zheng family, Huo Jingzhi did not do it after analysis.
After all, the price of cattle and sheep has also increased a lot, and it is not a malicious price increase.
Since the price of beef and mutton has risen, chickens, ducks and geese have risen a little higher, and it is reasonable to say that this reason is indeed somewhat untenable if it is impeached.
On the contrary, it will make people feel that the Ji Guo Mansion can't afford to play.
The eldest princess of Ningyang, who got Huo Jingzhi's reply, was very angry.
"Mother, don't be angry, don't worry, this matter won't be settled like this."
"I have a way to clean them up."
The eldest princess of Ningyang asked with suppressed anger; "What can you do? Tell my mother. ”
"The secret, mother, will know after the beginning of spring."
Seeing that she looked confident, the eldest princess of Ningyang unconsciously believed a little.
This girl is very capable, and she is very disciplined in everything she does.
"By the way, there are ten days before the New Year's Day, Yaoyao, do we have to go back to the capital?"
Hearing this, Huo Junyao was slightly stunned, and then remembered that the Spring Festival was about to come.
It's really not good to continue to stay here, after all, there is also a big family in the Ji Guo Mansion, and relatives and friends are still moving around during the New Year.
It is impossible for the whole family to come to live in this hot spring villa, and it is impossible for her to stay here alone, after all, this is the first Spring Festival after she returns, even if she wants to, the eldest princess of Ningyang will not agree.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the eldest princess of Ningyang continued; "Let's go back for the New Year's Festival, and if you don't want to stay in the capital after the New Year's Festival, we'll come back here."
"Well, then listen to my mother."
"How about we go back tomorrow?"
The New Year is approaching, in previous years, she began to arrange people to prepare things early, but this year it is a little slow, although she has also asked the people in the house to prepare, but many things still need her to keep an eye on in person.
This New Year's Festival is not only about preparing things for home, but also about the exchange of gifts in various honorable mansions after the New Year's Festival.
These contributions can't go wrong.
Huo Junyao thought about it, and knew that the old lady was in a hurry to go back because she had something important to do, after all, she had already asked Mama Zhao to go back to prepare things a few days ago.
"Okay."
That night, she arranged everything in detail on this side of the villa, and the greenhouse still needed to be watched by Forget Xia.
And Mama Xi and Red Sleeves have to continue to stay here, although the lo-mei is no longer sold, but the vegetables are still being sold, and Red Sleeves is responsible for buying and selling this piece, so it is certain that they will stay.
And there are still dozens of people in the villa, as the chief steward, Mama Xi naturally has to stay.
"Miss, you can rest assured to go back, the slaves and maids here are staring, there will be no problems."
Red Sleeves directly opened his mouth to assure, and Mama Xi and Forget Xia on the side also nodded again and again.
The next day, Huo Junyao took Xiaochan and followed the eldest princess of Ningyang back to the capital.
This time, it is not the Mansion of the Duke of Ji, but the Mansion of the Eldest Princess, and the Eldest Princess of Ningyang here also explained to Mama Zhao early on that she selected a first-class courtyard for her.
It has been cleaned up and a fireplace has been installed.
returned to the capital again, and lived in the mansion of a high-ranking family, but this time her mentality has changed significantly.
The first time she lived in the Ji Guo Mansion, when she first arrived, she was still a little uneasy.
There are also many strangers and unfamiliarities with the relatives in this life.
But this time, after these months of running-in and getting along, she also accepted these relatives from the bottom of her heart, and there was naturally an obvious change in her mentality.
I don't feel that this place is strange and out of place, but I have a bit of homely intimacy.
