(The power outage was out of noon, a little late) The engagement banquet lasted until noon and ended. Then everyone was busy with their own work, and Chen Yue also took Xu Manhua back to Biyuxuan.

Wen Wan'er and others did not come. Someone brought a letter from Wei Siniang. Chen Yue burned it after reading it. It tells the story of them sneak attacking and restraining Wen Wan'er and others, and then taking them out of Haizhou City. They could no longer help Chen Yue. I was really embarrassed.

Chen Yue was very happy. Wei Siniang was able to leave safely. It’s great that kind-hearted people should be rewarded, right?

He politely declined the request of Dragon Girl Palace to ask him to stay here. Now there are Yu Qiujia and Xie Xiaofu around him, and his own safety can be guaranteed. What's more, he currently plays a role like a strategist, and the one who really decides how to act is the Kong family and Dragon Girl Palace.

The Queen Mother of the Pox God said that this is just a game, and Mingxiang will not hurt him, so what he needs is to watch, find Mingxiang's flaws, and then take action.

Staying in the city, the Dragon Girl Hall or the Kong family may be the first target of the attack. Will he stay there and seek death?

The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Chen Yue finally understood this truth. With Xu Manhua around him, the feeling of returning home in glory is really good. The Xie family handed Bi Yuxuan to Chen Yue as Xu Manhua's dowry.

When everyone came to the door of Biyuxuan, they found that there were more than ten people standing there.

"Before the head of the family left Haizhou City, we gathered us together and ordered that from now on, Mr. Chen will be our master, and Bi Yuxuan will also transfer to Mr. Chen's name. The property, money and grain have been counted. Mr. Chen, please check it out at any time."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man named Li Wangcai. He was the second housekeeper in Biyuxuan. He was not exposed on weekdays.

"Young Master Chen?"

The Shen Yue's horse whip gently tapped on his shoulder.

"Ah, I was wrong, it must be the master."

Chen Yue nodded and turned his eyes to Xu Manhua. Xu Manhua nodded and expressed his approval of this person.

The reason why Xiao Huan's incident happened was not that Xu Manhua knew nothing about it, but that she was determined to die at that time, so she didn't have that mood at all. But Xu Manhua knew very well who could use it and who could keep it in the Jade Xuan.

After picking up the account book of money and grain, Chen Yue said to Li Wangcai, "Wait a moment, you and I will go to the city and buy some things."

=================

What will the earthlings do when they learn that the catastrophe is coming?

At least for Chen Yue, the most common reaction is to be a squirrel.

Storing grain, storing goods, storing fuel, and hoarding some spiritual food.

The battle with Mingxiang is about to begin, and Chen Yue can't guess what she wants to do, but Chen Yue will prepare according to her own ideas.

Some people say that as long as money can solve anything, it is not a problem. For Chen Yue, he now lacks everything except money.

The second-in-command Xie family and Elder Xie left Haizhou City, and their elite subordinates also retreated, but he was so sophisticated and left a large sum of silver for Chen Yue.

The 30,000 taels of silver helped Chen Yue a lot. He is currently in Haizhou City, doing a big rush to buy.

In grain shops, rice shops, coal shops, wood shops, and iron shops, Li Wangcai waved his silver notes and bought everything he could see.

There is no other requirement. Even if the store owner saw Chen Yue and was eager to buy it, it doesn’t matter. The price is easy to say, but it must be delivered to Biyuxuan outside the city within two days. The shipping fee is high and it is difficult to find people, so you can discuss it, but the time must be stuck.

At first, Li Wang felt a little bitch, what was Chen Yue doing?

This is not how silver is spent. This round of buying will cost at least twice the price.

But he didn't say much, but just followed Shen's actions.

After finalizing the procurement quantity of grain, Chen Yue's procurement scope was expanded, and various containers, clothes, cotton, and even hay and other feed were purchased by Chen Yue.

"Best steward, are you trying to persuade Mr. Shen that if he continues like this, he will spend too much money?"

The person who spoke was a nephew of Li Wangcai, but Li Wangcai shook his head.

If Li Wangcai had the mood to watch jokes or let Shen Yue make trouble at the beginning, but now, he has no other thoughts.

=================

"Mr. Chen, the price of your box of jewelry in this store is 4,500 taels, I wonder if it is possible?"

Li Wangcai, who was listening on the side, wanted to slap the pawnshop owner several times. This box of jewelry could be sold at least 7,000 taels when it was on the market, but the pawnshop owner could actually say the price of 4,500 taels?

"How much does it cost?"

"Five thousand two hundred taels, Mr. Chen, can't be higher."

Li Wangcai coughed softly. It would be better to take Chen Yi to his cousin’s store with him, at least 6,000 taels.

"Okay, deal."

Chen Yue clapped his hands and took the silver notes as if he hadn't heard Li Wangcai's hint.

"Master Shen, I have a good way, I have a relative..."

King Li wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Chen Yue. He didn't get the chance until he left the door.

"No need, Butler Li, maybe in a few days, those things will not even be worth four thousand taels."

Chen Yue smiled and waved the silver notes in his hand.

Speaking of which, I am really embarrassed. This box of jewelry belongs to Xu Manhua.

After he told Xu Manhua that the Pox Goddess was about to perform a blood sacrifice, Xu Manhua asked him how to deal with it.

Chen Yue’s answer is very simple, just watch and change.

Unlike the Kong family's worries and the young people's concerns, he can't do anything about the worries of the prefect Zhong Wendong. What he needs to do is to enrich himself first.

Although the imperial army and various reinforcements could gather in Haizhou City in about ten days, Chen Yue felt that since everyone knew it, what reason did Mingxiang not consider this matter?

Ten days, maybe it will be a long ten days, or what if reinforcements cannot break the barrier of Haizhou City and everyone is trapped in it?

He has a girl, so he doesn’t worry about spiritual food. What he can do now is to be a squirrel, build high walls, accumulate food, and not show up.

Mingxiang shouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble for him, so the people who are worried about now should be the people of the Kong family.

=================

"Han Yue is buying grain?"

Frowning, Mr. Kong felt that he couldn't understand the appointment.

Haizhou City is a famous city in the north, with endless business and tourism in the north and south. There are dozens of granaries of large and small in the city. Even if it encounters a famine, these grains are enough for the people in Haizhou City to eat for half a year.

"Dad, do you want to stop him? What if he does this, what if rumors spread and purchases are everywhere in the market?"

"No, now we don't want to lose our composure. No matter how much he buys, he can get it back then."

Mr. Kong frowned and said such words.

"Dad, you mean?"

"When I was on the battlefield, all parties used their own tricks before the war started, but after the battle began, they often had a chaotic battle. What we need to do now is to stabilize, go ahead, it's time to act."

Waving to Kong Qingfeng, there are many gangs of all sizes in Haizhou City, and now it is time to close the net.

=================

"Chen Yue, have you bought too much?"

Frowning, Xie Xiaofu came to Chen Yue.

From noon, Chen Yue began to purchase grain in a large amount. He even used all the 30,000 taels of silver notes that Chen Shentong gave him, causing rumors to spread on the market.

Seeing trucks of food gathering towards Biyuxuan, Xie Xiaofu could no longer control her questions.

Three taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend a year, so what does it mean to spend more than 60,000 taels of silver in total?

"Sister Xiaofu, you don't understand."

Chen Yue's words made Xie Xiaofu not angry.

"If you have anything, just say it, don't do this to mother-in-law and mother."

"If I spend these 60,000 taels of silver, the market's grain prices will increase by at least 30% in these three days. If I release news that the north is drought and the grain prices will rise, what do you think it will be?"

"Many people will buy some food first and go home, and the government will also come forward, saying that the food is not in short supply, and they will even open warehouses to stabilize the price of grain."

"Yes, this is what I want. People in the world have the habit of chasing high prices. Once the trend is developed, it will probably take at least half a month to calm down."

"But many people buy grain at a high price and find that they buy it high. Chen Yue, what exactly do you want to do?"

"But they at least bought the food home, didn't they?"

Although the blood sacrifice is still a few days away, Chen Yue knew very well that the war had begun.

Mingxiang, the girl who has experienced wandering, hunger and hardship, is even far more intelligent than ordinary people.

"You mean, there is a high possibility of large-scale food outages? Then why don't you remind Mr. Kong and others to pay attention to food security?"

"Sister Xiaofu, do you think I still look like the hot commodity a few days ago?"

Chen Yue smiled bitterly and patted his palms, "My actions have actually reminded them that the Kong family is not a pig, and unless I am willing to be the son-in-law of the Kong family, they will not believe me, and the misunderstanding between us will become bigger and bigger.
