Chapter 54: A Good Show
Grain prices in Yunzhou have begun to rise.
Originally, as Yanzhou no longer purchased Yuzhu, countless farmers had lost their money for a year's hard work, and the two states of Yanyun had begun to be gloomy, and then Yanzhou stopped selling grain to the two states of Yanyun.
You know, in the past three years, more and more people began to give up the original cultivation of corn, rice, and turn to farming more profitable Yuzhu, as for the grain, in the past few years, there will be a large number of grain merchants in Huangzhou and Dongzhou every year to sell grain, although it is more expensive than in the past, but the wealth brought by Yuzhu is enough to cover the increase in this percent, so the people eat all the grain bought.
It's good to have the habit of stockpiling grain, but most people hope to earn more in the coming year, and the money saved will be used to plant Yuzhu, and the food is basically when to eat and when to buy, and now the food channel is broken, and everyone is panicking.
It's good that no one collects Yuzhu, after all, there are some earned in the previous two years, and it is not considered to be bloodless, but no food is fatal.
Of course, Yuzhu can also eat it, but the yield of this thing is far less than that of food, and it is not hungry, and it will be hungry after eating it for a while.
It has only been more than ten years since the Guiyi Church governed Yunzhou, and Yanzhou has only been more than five years, and many people still remember the feeling of famine more than ten years ago.
Many people began to take risks and sell grain at high prices.
Although there is a risk of killing the head, it cannot resist the temptation of the benefits, especially at the junction with Huangzhou and Dongzhou, running more than ten miles, transporting back grain, and selling it at a high price of two or even three times as much.
Huangzhou, Yangquan City.
"Big brother!" Cui Ping rushed in with some excitement and smiled at Cui Yan: "The Guiyi Sect has agreed that our grain merchants have entered Yanyun Erzhou, and they will not limit the prices of grain merchants, and they also want to buy a batch of grain directly from us." ”
"There is no need to buy grain, after all, we have sold grain every year in the past few years, and there is not much grain, if you really want grain, go to those grain merchants." Cui Yan held the wine glass, looked at the direction of Yunzhou in the distance, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Inform the border generals everywhere, be careful of that Lu Xuangou jumping off the wall in a hurry, this person's fighting skills are still good." ”
"Lord, at this time and that time, now in Yanyun and Yunzhou, the people are panicking, and the soldiers in the army may not have the intention of fighting!" The strategist smiled.
"Isn't that just right, it would be more reasonable for our army to enter Yunzhou." Cui Yan smiled and said: "After all, the Cui family is a benevolent family, even if you send troops, you must pay attention to being famous!" ”
"What the lord said is very true!"
With Cui Yan's order, a large number of grain merchants began to enter the land of Yanyun, ready to enjoy this harvest carnival.
One month later, Sanyang County.
"Master, their grain and grass have been brought in." Sandao came to Lu Xuan's side and bowed.
Lu Xuan nodded, and smiled at Li Xingzhi: "Senior brother, it's up to you." ”
Li Xingzhi nodded, and at the same time opened the water and said: "Grain is starting to be released everywhere!" ”
The speed of news transmission on Lu Xuan's side is obviously faster than Cui Yan's, and under the spread of Shui Jian, in just a moment, the news will be distributed to the counties.
The county orders of the counties that had been prepared for a long time immediately ordered people to transport the grain and grass that had been stored outside the city into the city, and at the same time posted a list to let people announce that the people in the county and the sect leader had borrowed a large amount of grain and grass, and from today onwards, the grain shops directly under the government will sell unlimited amounts of grain, and the price of grain is no different from the past.
When the people heard this, they were naturally overjoyed, and the luck that had been significantly declining in various places quickly rebounded on this day, and even exceeded the original luck.
As the counties began to supply unlimited amounts of grain, after the grain buying boom a few days ago, the people who had calmed down saw that the government could indeed buy grain at a reasonable price, and the tension disappeared and the boom cooled down.
However, at this moment, an incident happened in all the counties of the two states, a certain grain truck suddenly overturned during transportation, but what poured out of the grain truck was not grain, but sediment!
Although the people transporting grain around quickly packed up, they were still noticed by the local grain merchants who came to sell grain, and the grain merchants who had already begun to sell grain at a low price were immediately overjoyed, closed their doors one after another, and quickly spread the news, and the grain buying boom rose again.
However, on the government's side, they continued to release unlimited amounts of grain, and the grain merchants just sneered, waiting to see the jokes of the Unification Church, and even sent people to secretly buy the grain sold by the government, in order to accelerate the consumption of grain by the government.
However...... Ten days have passed, and the yamen is still releasing grain as usual, and the grain buying fever has slowed down again.
But the grain merchants also received messages from their friends one after another, and when they found that similar things had been posted in all the surrounding cities, the grain merchants finally knew that they had been tricked.
Looking at the mountains of grain in their warehouses, the grain merchants wanted to cry without tears, so they could only sell grain at a low price, but the people's grain buying boom has passed two rounds, and now the demand for grain is not so heavy, and grain preservation requires a cost, and it will rot if you are not careful.
The grain merchants could only endure the pain and began to sell grain cheaply.
"These traders have come all the way to help your sect tide over the difficulties, and the sect leader is not dishonest in the world? is so treacherous, it may be difficult for you and me to cooperate again in the future! In the Sanyang County Council, the envoy from Huangzhou looked at Lu Xuan with an ugly face, he knew that this time the lord's plan was a complete failure.
"What Lord Jia said is not true." Li Xingzhi smiled and said: "First of all, these grain merchants have come all the way not to help me teach, but to drink the blood of my Guiyi Sect, and secondly, if these grain merchants really have faith, they will not suffer this big loss, as for treachery, when will my sect master be treacherous?" Which of the terms agreed to you was not complied with? You say that we can't use the laws of Yanyun and the two states to limit the price of grain merchants, but there is no limit to my teaching, these grain merchants are pricing a thousand taels of gold and one tael of grain, and I have no objection to it. ”
"It's just quibbling! Your sect is like this, I'm afraid it ......" The envoy snorted coldly, wanting to say something hard, but was interrupted by Lu Xuan.
"I don't speak, I just don't think you're qualified to talk to me." Lu Xuan looked at the envoy and said: "I don't have the habit of killing envoys, but the premise is that your mouth can be clean, in front of me, don't play unruly, you won't think ...... I'm a good person, right? ”
The envoy looked at Lu Xuan, his lips squirmed twice, and when it came to his mouth, he didn't say it after all.
"Cui Yan is a noble man in the sky, or a son of a family, it has nothing to do with me, since he came out to fight the world, he must admit it if he is defeated, he must stand up when he is beaten, and his skills are not as good as others, so don't shamelessly come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, be careful that I ask him for guilt!" Lu Xuan waved his hand: "You can get out, see you're a little upset!" ”
"Farewell!" The messenger snorted and turned to leave, only to be stopped by two guards.
"Sect Master, what does this mean?" The envoy turned his head to look at Lu Xuan.
"You can't even understand people's words, what I just said is ...... Get lost! Lu Xuan looked at the envoy and smiled.
"The sect leader is so humiliated, aren't you afraid that my family master will raise an army to crusade!?" The messenger said angrily.
"Didn't he want to be famous? I gave him this name, and I wronged you. Lu Xuan smiled: "Do you need someone to help you?" ”
The envoy looked at the menacing guards on both sides, took a deep breath, as if to prove his backbone, and shouted at Lu Xuan: "Get out!" ”
Looking at the messenger who really got out, everyone in the council hall couldn't help but laugh.
"If you are worthy of being a reader, you have backbone...... Eh, Fourth Senior Brother, I didn't mean you! Huo Zhan grinned, but halfway through his words, he felt Li Xingzhi's cold gaze, and immediately held back his smile.
"Is the sect leader going to wait for the Wasteland to fight?" Yang Ao's words eased the atmosphere.
"I definitely want to be famous, but the old Cui family is afraid that they will not be able to take care of themselves, and they probably can't beat it, let's find a reason again, the Cui family detained me for no reason, blatantly breached the contract, and violated morality, I will send troops to ask for an explanation." Lu Xuan thought about it, although he used to fight bare-chested, but now that his identity is different, let's tear up his pants.
"The teacher is famous." Li Xingzhi said with a smile: "When this messenger goes back, Cui Yan is afraid that he will be uneasy." ”
"Senior brother, why is this?" Huo Zhan hurriedly praised it to mend the precarious friendship between the two.
"A wise man will be suspicious, and I can know what he says casually, so I will naturally doubt the people around him." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Wise people are suspicious? Then you ......" Zhang Yuanrou looked at Lu Xuan.
"This is the biggest difference between the sect leader and Cui Yan, the sect leader is broad-minded, and he doesn't care about everything, so naturally there is no need to be suspicious." Li Xingzhi smiled.
"Isn't it just that you don't care about anything?" Zhang Yuanrou glanced at Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan is the same as a woman, letting go and delegating power, but the more this is the case, the more willing everyone is to revolve around him, and the level of the fourth senior brother's stinky feet has risen.
"Those who want to catch everything will inevitably fail to grasp anything in the end." Lu Xuan smiled: "Don't talk about this, senior sister, are the things I want ready?" ”
"Five million broken arrows, where is enough in a month, I have been working day and night here until now, and it has only reached one million." Zhang Yuanrou suddenly collapsed: "My side is already the limit, where did you get so much iron?" ”
"Sent by the Cui family." Lu Xuan sighed: "Then add two more production lines, this million will be sent to the pioneer camp first, you can't wait there, and the follow-up army will be sent to the front line while doing it." ”
"I have to add people to the Shenji Hall, at least I have to find three hundred more craftsmen, my people haven't rested for almost a month, the craftsmen can still take a breath, they can't rest, let alone practice qi, they can't use it like this during the foundation building period!" Zhang Yuanrou said with a bitter face: "Also, they do this, and it is impossible to give more spirit stones." ”
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Three hundred craftsmen are no problem, if you want spirit stones, during this rush period, their spirit stone quota will be ten times!" As long as you can catch up with the progress, after this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, each person will be rewarded with an additional hundred spirit stones! ”
"Atmosphere!" Zhang Yuanrou nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, the first half of this play has ended, and the second half should begin, it's time for us to officially appear, according to the previous plan, and return to their respective positions!" Lu Xuan got up and said.
"Yes!"
