Chapter 287: No Return

He continued: "Our Great Xia temporarily prohibits the export of grain, and the minister suspects that some people maliciously hoard grain or smuggle it to other countries.

The minister once sent people to investigate, and found that there were indeed people secretly buying large sums of grain, and after several changes of hands, all of them fell into the hands of a merchant named (Wu Ming).

The minister privately asked us several famous grain merchants in Zhejiang, and found that none of them knew this person named Wu Ming.

It is very doubtful that no one knows or even heard of someone who can have this kind of strength and buy such a large amount of grain in Zhezhou.

Later, the minister carefully deliberated on the name (Wu Ming), and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was very likely to be (nameless).

In other words, this person is using a pseudonym at all. ”

Jing Yan tapped his index finger on the table and glanced at the prefect of Zhejiang Prefecture appreciatively: "You did a good job." ”

Just a word of praise flattered the prefect of Zhejiang.

"What is the price of grain in Zhejiang now, and how much is the gap?"

The prefect of Zhejiang Prefecture said: "The minister urgently sent an official letter to other state governments half a month ago, requesting that food be coordinated and go to Zhejiang to help tide over the difficulties.

When the grain merchants in the surrounding provinces heard about it, they all urgently transferred a large amount of grain.

However, this nameless is like a bottomless pit that cannot be fed, and no matter how much food we bring in, he will eat it all, and it is really not good.

As of yesterday, there was still a shortage of 300,000 quintals of grain in the entire Zhejiang Prefecture.

Now there are a lot of complaints among the people, and if we don't think of a way, I'm afraid that there will be a big mess in Zhezhou. ”

The prefect was also anxious about this matter, and he hadn't slept a peaceful sleep for several days, the blisters on his mouth were stubble after stubble, and his hair was falling off one after another.

In the official warehouse of Zhejiang Prefecture, there is a lot of grain in stock, but this is to prepare for disaster years.

First, when he did not encounter a catastrophe, he did not have the right to open a warehouse and release grain.

Second, if he puts this batch of grain on the market, it is very likely that it will be a drop in the bucket.

And in the event of a natural disaster, when the grain production is reduced or the harvest is lost, the people ask to open the warehouse to release grain.

He couldn't get food, so he starved all over the field, not only the court couldn't spare him, but he couldn't pass the hurdle in his own heart.

Jiang Yuqing can see that this prefect has a conscience, he will take the people to heart, and he is already trying his best to control food prices, and he is doing even better than they imagined.

Jing Yan sent the endless sea to continue the investigation in the direction that the prefect had already discovered.

After a lot of effort, I finally found this "nameless".

Formerly known as "Nico, Vidoya", he was the largest grain merchant in the South Seas, with very strong assets and a close relationship with the Yizhu pirate group that had been exterminated by Great Xia before.

He also controls the grain and grain prices of several countries in the South Seas, and is the second person who hates the kings and leaders of the South Seas countries except for the righteous pirate group, but has nothing to do with him.

Not only that, but when you meet, you must be polite to him, otherwise once you offend him, the whole country will suffer.

Even worse than the effects of the righteous pirate syndicates.

This product is not enough in Nanyang, and now he has a big appetite to stretch out his claws to Daxia, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Daxia is currently prohibited from exporting grain, and the couple speculated that he would definitely not ship it back to Nanyang if he bought so much grain at one time, and most likely wanted to short Daxia grain and leave the market after making a lot of money.

The population of the whole country is about 58.8 million, and the existing grain reserves are only about half a load per capita. But the food hoarded in her spiritual realm has reached about seven quintals per capita.

With so much food, if she releases it, it will be enough to kill this Nanyang devil.

The couple asked the prefect to come forward, rented several large warehouses, and put two million loads of grain in at night.

Tell him to put 500,000 quintals into the market first, and then put in 500,000 quintals after the other party has eaten them all.

When I invested 500,000 quintals for the third time, I went out directly, and there were still tens of millions of quintals of grain in Zhezhou, so virtual and real, and then look at the other party's reaction.

The couple then flew to Sudi and Fuzhou, and did the same thing.

In Zhejiang, for example, the first 500,000 quintals of grain were bought out within three days after they were released, and then the second 500,000 quintals were put in.

At this point, there was a discount, and it was not until ten days later that it was all bought.

Jiang Yuqing guessed that the other party was likely to have liquidated his position.

Then Zhezhou invested the third 500,000 quintals, and at the same time released the words, Zhezhou still has tens of millions of quintals of grain.

Sure enough, as Jiang Yuqing expected, the grain price in Zhejiang began to drop sharply the next day, and the other party couldn't resist it and began to release the warehouse.

On the fourth day, food prices fell to normal levels.

By the seventh day, it was only about half of the normal one, and on the tenth day it was only one-third.

Jiang Yuqing immediately notified the state capitals to start closing the net and buying grain at ultra-low prices, until grain prices returned to normal prices.

In this battle, Great Xia won a complete victory.

At the same time, Niko. Vidoya lost nearly one million taels of silver in Great Xia, and he lost all his money.

took most of the family money he had saved over the years, and had to flee from Great Xia in disgrace.

He made up his mind that he would never want to come to Great Xia (to do business) in his life.

The people of Great Xia are too shrewd, too powerful, and too powerful.

Nico. Vidoya, returned in Great Xia. When the news reached Nanyang, the Nanyang countries breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were even more in awe of Great Xia.

They couldn't help but start to make up for it, and there were tens of millions of loads of grain in a state capital.

There are so many state capitals in Great Xia, and the amount of grain they have together may be an astronomical amount that they can't even think of.

Jiang Yuqing used his realistic achievements to teach the officials of Great Xia a lesson, a lesson on grain reserves and grain war.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the officials of the household department, admired her for their admiration.

After settling the matter perfectly, the couple returned to the capital.

Emperor Taishang specially prepared a celebration banquet for them, no, it should be for Jiang Yuqing.

If he didn't have the foresight and enough courage of his daughter-in-law, Daxia, which had just flourished, might have suffered a major blow because of this matter.

This was the official start of the grain reserve work in Daxia.

At this time, Jiang Yuqing was more than seven months pregnant and entered the third trimester.

The two fetuses in the womb absorb a large amount of spiritual power every day, so it can be inferred that their talents are not too bad.

Yiyi was overjoyed when she learned that her mother was pregnant with a younger brother and a younger sister.

I started giving my younger brother and sister nicknames early.

He likes candy, so he calls his younger brother Guoguo and his sister Tangtang.

The name is full of childlike fun and simple to remember, and the couple unanimously agreed, which made Yiyi very happy.

Every day, counting on his fingers, how many days will it be before his younger siblings come to this world to meet him.

The little guy did his homework very well and the teachers were very satisfied with his performance.

However, as a prince, in addition to his daily homework, he has a lot to learn, and the time schedule is also very tight.

I get up before dawn every morning, go to the court with my father to listen to the government, and after breakfast, I have to go to the study to read and attend classes.

After lunch, I would take a nap for half an hour, and in the afternoon, I would go to the imperial study to receive my father's teachings and learn how to read the folds.

Jing Yan will also let him express his opinions and opinions on the matters discussed by the court that day, and guide and correct them.

Only after dinner did Yiyi have time to come to see Jiang Yuqing and talk to his younger brothers and sisters in his mother's womb.

Or accompany the emperor's grandparents, go out for a walk, and visit the imperial garden.

Jiang Yuqing was afraid that his son would be too tight, so after discussing with Jing Yan, he let him take a day off every five days of class.

There is no need to go to class, no need to listen to politics, and no need to go to the imperial study on this day, it is purely a time for children to have fun by themselves.

Therefore, the rest day is also the happiest time for Yiyi.

The sun at the end of July made people dizzy, and they wanted to dry all the creatures in the world.

coincided with Yiyi Xiumu, and he asked Jiang Yuqing and Jing Yan if they could go to Tai'an Farm to play. Not only can you go to see his elephants, but you can also go there to play in the water.

The couple readily agreed, and Jing Yan specially gave him an extra day off.

As soon as Yiyi arrived at the farm, he played with the children in the farm.

Under the leadership of several older children, they took off their long coats and trousers, wearing only a pair of small pants, and jumped into the mountain stream to play in the water.

The water of the mountain stream is cool and shallow, and the depth of the water is only up to the belly of the children.

Jiang Yuqing sent Promising and Nameless to take care of them, so he didn't have to worry about the children drowning because of this.

The children were so happy that they didn't even want to go ashore for a while.

In fact, Jiang Yuqing also wants to play in the water, but her stomach is too big now, and she can't even see her toes when she lowers her head.

Jing Yan and the elders were afraid that she would slip by the stream, so they watched very closely, and easily did not let her get close to the water's edge.

Fortunately, there is also a late-maturing vineyard and watermelon field to play with.

Since the old eunuch left the palace, he doesn't know if it was because he ate spiritual milk, or he was in a cheerful mood, and his physical condition was very good.

The hair that was about to go gray was already more than half black, and he walked majestically and vigorously, and he was full of spirit when he fought with others.

Jiang Yuqing estimated that he would definitely have no problem living for more than ten years.

Something happened not long ago.

Li Deshun's own nephew in his hometown, I don't know where I heard that he was arranged by the queen to retire in Tai'an Farm.

He came to the capital thousands of miles away, wanting to take him back to his hometown for the elderly.

What kind of person is Li Deshun, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a human spirit.

He hadn't been in touch for more than 20 years before, and now he suddenly came to the capital and said that he wanted to take him back to his hometown to retire, what was the idea in this, could he not know?

He now eats and lives well on the farm, and there are a bunch of old guys who quarrel and joke every day and grow chess.

The godgranddaughter and the children will come to visit them from time to time, and the life should not be too leisurely, so why bother to go back to his hometown with him.

With his dripping virtue, he is afraid that he will be placed under house arrest as soon as he returns to his hometown with him.

When the time comes, he will be called heaven and earth, and he will be sent to the west with a rope after all the silver has been drained.

Therefore, when his nephew first proposed to take him back to retire, Li Deshun refused.

His nephew did not give up, and ran to the farm twice in three days to sprinkle and cry.

The people in the farm knew Li Deshun's attitude, so they were not used to him, and directly released the big wolf dog in the village, chasing him crying and calling his mother.

After doing this twice, he finally gave up and left the capital with a scolding.
