In order to prevent these grains from falling into his hands, Huang Yuliang could only endure the pain and lowered the price again and again.

But even so, the people seem to be shrewd, and there are still very few people who buy grain, and the grain sold by Huang's grain shop every day is only a handful.

And it was at this time that Zhu Changwu, who was preoccupied with the affairs of the research institute, called Zhang Ao and told him that the time was ripe to collect grain from Huang and other grain stores.

In the final analysis, this time Zhu Changwu played a game that was almost a white wolf with empty gloves. If you play well, you can naturally lower the price of grain, but once you get rid of it, it may go wrong at any time, if those grain merchants know the details, I am afraid that the price of grain will rebound immediately, and it is not impossible that it will even far exceed the previous price.

Zhu Changwu naturally understands the principle of accepting when he sees a good thing.

Zhang Ao, who had long admired his son, sent people who had already prepared to start collecting grain from the major grain stores in the city. These people are all merchants who have been selected in advance, they are not people in the army, let alone officials in the court, and their appearance will not immediately arouse the alarm of the grain merchants.

Sure enough, when these merchants appeared in front of the grain merchants in batches and said that they wanted to buy grain, Huang Yuliang and the others seemed to see a savior, and sold the grain in their hands in large quantities one by one.

They want to see what kind of price will be after the grain from other places enters the Beijing Division, and how these small grain merchants who have bought their own grain will go bankrupt and weep bitterly.

Naturally, it is not Zhang Ao who is crying, but only Huang Yuliang and them. Because, there was a new gossip that said that the grain merchants who came from outside the city had encountered thieves on the road and the grain had been robbed. There will be no new food in the city for a while.

Along with the grapevine, the food in the Daming Department Store suddenly returned to its normal price, and it was still two taels of silver and one stone.

The people, who were originally waiting to continue to pick up bargains, saw that the price of food rose again, and they did not dare to wait, and began to buy grain one after another. And this move directly made Huang Yuliang and the others so angry that they almost fainted.

At this time, no matter how stupid they are, they can see that all this is just a trick played by Zhu Changwu. The so-called endless gossip should have been released by this person, just to confuse himself.

Thinking that they were fooled so easily and missed an opportunity to make a lot of money, Huang Yuliang and the others regretted it.

But they can only regret it, they will never dare to do anything to Zhu Changwu. In other words, people didn't send troops to clean themselves up, they were already very disciplined, if they wanted to resist, then they really had enough to live, and they were looking for death.

Daming Research Institute.

Lou Heyang rushed over with a happy face and a female soldier.

As soon as he saw Zhu Changwu, who was busy, he said with joy on his face, "How about the son, how did we complete our task this time?" ”

"The mission was well accomplished." Zhu Changwu raised his head and said without hesitation.

This time it is indeed thanks to Lou Heyang, these female soldiers took off their military uniforms one by one in this battlefield without gunsmoke, blended in with the people, released all kinds of so-called gossip, and played Huang Yuliang and them around.

It is precisely because they have done a good job in propaganda and dominated public opinion that Huang Yuliang and they were fooled unconsciously, not only did they not make any money, but on the contrary, after paying heavy taxes, they only kept a capital.

Don't look at Lou Heyang's usual proud appearance, even Zhu Changwu dares to be tough, but in fact, she values her son's evaluation of herself very much.

Now that she has been praised, she is very happy. But on the surface, he pretended to be calm and light, and even asked another question, "Childe, since we have suppressed the price of grain, why did we take the initiative to restore the price of grain, and wouldn't it be a good thing for the people to buy more low-cost grain?" ”

"Well, if you can ask that, it proves that you are using your brain, and that's good. It's just that you have thought about it, and if the price of food is too low, it is not a good thing. Zhu Changwu said with a smile, he likes people who use their brains in trouble, and only such people can be alone in the future.

"What? Isn't it a good thing that food prices are low? Lou Heyang was surprised when he heard this.

Not only her, but also Zhang Ao and Chen Yuanyuan and others standing around also looked curious.

"That's right." Zhu Changwu nodded while fiddling with the work in his hand, "You should have heard the saying that Gu Cheap hurts the peasants." If the price of grain is too low, the people will lose interest and confidence in farming, and if they do not make a good one, there will be more wasteland in the coming year, and there will be a food crisis. Moreover, if the price of food is too low, the cost of living of the people will be reduced, but at the same time, it may breed their inertia, they will not want to work hard, nor do they want to work to earn money, and over time, the society may regress. ”

Zhu Changwu said so far, no matter how deep he was, he didn't talk about it, it's like the cost of living is too low, if it's enough to make some money, then why work so hard. If this is the case for everyone, if the output value is less, the society may eventually turn backwards.

didn't say it deeply, it was Zhu Changwu who believed that smart people could figure out the reason for this. And there are some things that you can understand by yourself far more than others teach you, and you will be more impressed.

As he spoke, Zhu Changwu also slowly got up, looked at the masterpiece in front of him and said with great satisfaction: "Okay, the multi-spindle textile wheel is done." Lao Zhang, you find craftsmen to make more according to this thing, and then send it to the people to spin. You can tell them that you don't have to worry about the output being too big and no one will collect it, and the household department can take over the whole thing, and you can sign a purchase contract with them in advance. ”

Clapped his hands, and Zhu Changwu, who stood up, looked very satisfied.

He discovered that after the transformation of the body, not only is it stronger, faster, and more mentally powerful, but its memory is also stronger, and others are too much stronger.

Not to mention that it is not forgotten, at least there are some things, as long as he thinks about it, he can always find relevant information in his mind, just like the multi-spindle spinning wheel in front of him, as soon as he thinks about it, a picture appears in his mind.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, this small thing will definitely be done." Zhang Ao, who had been a little unable to wait, stepped forward and looked at this multi-spindle spinning wheel that far exceeded this era, as if he was looking at a baby.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was not much shortage of food, at least except for the bandits who had grown up for many years.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, cloth and clothing were not sufficient, mainly due to the rapid population growth and the low amount of yarn.

With the advent of multi-spindle spinning wheels, one spinning wheel can top three to five times the output of existing single-spinning wheels. It can be thought that after this thing is put on the market, it will not take long for the shortcomings of the cloth to be filled.

As Zhu Changwu and Zhang Ao said before, we should pay attention to people's livelihood, especially from the aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

The reduction of grain prices is food, and the appearance of multi-spindle spinning wheels is clothing.

As for housing and transportation, Zhu Changwu is already preparing to make cement next, as well as a carriage with shock absorption and bearings, these relevant materials are in his memory, and it will not be too difficult to get out.

Zhang Ao happily asked people to leave with the multi-bloom spinning wheel, and after Zhu Changwu washed his hands, he called Lou Heyang and Chen Yuanyuan to sit down beside him. His gaze first swept over the two of them, and then he spoke: "This time you have completed a good task, which makes people have to be impressed." After going through this, I realized that I really underestimated you, so I wondered if you could do more. ”

Since Zhu Changwu asked such a thing, needless to say, he must have already had an idea in his heart, so Lou Heyang replied: "Childe, what do you need us to do, just say it." We promise to get the job done. ”

"Okay." Zhu Changwu is not a hypocritical person, Lou Heyang agreed so happily, and he also said his thoughts, that is, he is going to form a secret agent team named Fire Phoenix.

"The specific mission of the Fire Phoenix is to carry out the role of detecting the enemy's intelligence. Because she is a woman, she is less likely to be guarded against, and she is more hidden. In this way, we can anticipate the enemy, which is of great significance for us to better grasp the information and movements of the opponent in the future. What do you think? Can this important task be continued? ”

Zhu Changwu would have such thoughts, and he was also inspired by this incident.

Because there was really no one to use in his hands, Zhu Changwu handed over the matters guided by public opinion to Lou Heyang and Chen Yuanyuan to do. The result was naturally very smooth, and it also made him see the huge potential of these women.

Thinking that it was a bit of a waste to only do propaganda work and hygienists, he thought about whether he could do something deeper, and the fire phoenix came into being.

"Fire Phoenix?" At this moment, both Lou Heyang and Chen Yuanyuan showed a very interested look.

These two women both have the kind of character that refuses to admit defeat, and it is a bit of a thing who says that women are inferior to men. Naturally, there is a lot of interest in what can be done.

"Yes. Considering that the Fire Phoenix agents all need to have certain skills, at least have a certain life-saving ability at critical times, they must be able to do a certain amount of kung fu. You can find this from some people who have a foundation in kung fu, so that the speed of training will be faster. Of course, if there are suitable people, it doesn't matter if they don't have a kung fu foundation, in the end, they will all be sent to the dragon soldiers for intensive training, and for their safety, they will be considered to be issued with some smaller guns for self-defense. ”

They have to train with the dragon soldiers again, and they will also issue guns, Lou Heyang and Chen Yuanyuan are a little tempted.
