"Go and do your job. Are you allowed to inquire about Brother Chen's affairs?" A man in his early twenties, known as Brother Liu, shot a bullet violently at him, scolded the younger brother who inquired carelessly, and then looked at the grain attentively.
direction of the store.
The little brother was taught a lesson and realized that he was wrong. He suddenly became honest and did what he should do.
An Zichen quickly arrived at Yuelai Inn and found Xia Qiyue's room according to the information left by her.
Button button...
"Sister, there is a knock on the door!" Xia Yueyue sat up smartly. As soon as her sister came back, there was a knock on the door. Could it be a bad guy following her sister?
"Your brother-in-law is here, I'll open the door!" Xia Qiyue said, getting up and opening the door.
"come in!"
An Zichen followed him into the room. Because the room was a suite, An Zichen couldn't find Xia Jiuyue and the two children in the room.
Xia Jiuyue came out with her two children to greet An Zichen. Ke'er, who didn't know anything, stared at An Zichen angrily.
Xia Qiyue smiled, her daughter was too close to her, and she felt very worried. She rubbed her daughter's furry little head, explained it to An Zichen, and asked Xia Qiyue to take the children to the inner room.
Then he sat across from An Zichen. Both of them kept their voices low, and An Zichen spoke.
"This time the grain and grass rhyme officer and the general were not of the same mind. In addition, after the drought, the national treasury was empty and there was a shortage of grain and grass. The emperor only gave one-third of the grain and grass to General Wang to rhyme, and we had to find a way to buy the remaining two-thirds ourselves.
, the task of purchasing food this time fell on me!"
Xia Qiyue had also guessed this explanation early on, and it was very close to what she had guessed, so she quickly nodded and said, "Food is starting to get tight! It must be the other party spreading rumors, right?"
An Zichen looked up at Xia Qiyue in surprise, "Yes!"
What surprised him was that this little wife had such a sharp mind and could guess such things right away.
"Starting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the price of food will increase, right? It's not realistic for you to just rely on the grain stores in the capital to buy it!"
An Zichen nodded, "This incident happened because of us. There must be a result before we take the next step. The general has already gone on an expedition, leaving me to solve it."
Doesn't An Zichen not know that this matter is too difficult? Is there any way? Because their food purchase actions have caused panic among the people and the increase in food prices, the problem must be solved.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Xia Qiyue saw that An Zichen had no excuse to talk about military secrets and was vague to her this time, but instead said so much, so she couldn't help but ask.
The food problem is easy to solve. The field in her space is so big that it can be solved after planting it a few times, but it is even more difficult to take it out.
If An Zichen can solve the problem by herself, she still doesn't want to get involved. She still likes to be a small village woman, making money secretly and stunning people secretly.
However, An Zichen shook his head and said with some distress, "I don't have a clue yet. The food hasn't come down yet this season. Even if I go to the towns and villages to buy it, I can't buy it. It's a bit tricky."
He also knew that many problems were caused by the third prince, but if the emperor did not act, what could be done?
"If a large amount of food appears in the capital and is not sold at a higher price, will this food crisis be solved?"
Xia Qiyue tentatively spoke.
An Zichen smiled bitterly, "Does that need to be said? It must have been solved, but what we are facing now is the problem of not being able to buy food. We can't buy food, and even the people can't buy it! If there is military food, why force it on the people?
?”
Xia Qiyue nodded, turned around and changed the subject, "Tomorrow, arrange for two people to send Yue Yue and Xuan'er Ke'er back!"
An Zichen was puzzled, "Aren't you going back?"
"I have something to stay here, so I won't go back yet!"
"OK!"
An Zichen didn't stay long, talked for a while, and left in a hurry because he had a mission.
Xia Qiyue coaxed the two babies to sleep, and after telling Xia Qiyue a few words, he went out.
The capital city did not close as early as Jiuli Town at night. She went straight to the cloth store and bought wedding dress materials and exquisite embroidery thread for Xia Jiuyue. When she came back, Xia Jiuyue was still sitting and waiting for her.
Take things out in July.
"In September, I may have to stay in the capital for a few days. You will start embroidering the wedding dress after you go back. Sister, I'd better hand you over to someone with virtue as soon as possible before you can rest assured!"
Xia Jiuyue nodded shyly, "I understand, sister! Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to open my store now. I can take care of my two children at home."
Xia Qiyue was still very worried about her two children, but since Ke'er's accident, the family's defenses had been strengthened, and the number of servants had increased a lot.
Just a few days shouldn't be a big problem.
After the sisters talked for a while, they went to sleep.
The suite had two small rooms, and Xia Jiuyue requested to sleep together with the two little ones so that her sister could have a good rest.
Xia Qiyue happened to have something to go to the space, so she didn't say anything.
After lying on the bed, she couldn't wait to enter the space.
She now has 1.2 million kilograms of rice and 800,000 kilograms of imported wheat stored in her warehouse. She can grow 400,000 kilograms of grain at a time, so she can easily help An Zichen with the urgent problems he faces.
The only question is how to help.
Sure enough, the next day, there was a sensation in the capital, not because of anything else but the food problem.
All the major grain stores in the capital have put up signs restricting the purchase of grain. One person can only buy one kilogram of grain a day, and the price has also tripled.
At the same time, there was a rumor circulating that food prices would rise again, and major grain stores did not have much food left. They might be sold out in two or three days. If the military rations could not be collected, taxes would be increased, making life difficult for the people.
Some wealthy families even rented temporary servants to wait in line to buy more food for those who came back to buy food.
Three times the price is nothing in their eyes, only
The immediate famine crisis.
This directly caused people in the capital to panic and caused a sensation. Pedestrians on the street ran past in a hurry, with only one purpose, which was the grain store.
Even major pastry shops, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. were not spared. Many people just bought a big bag of steamed buns, steamed buns and other foods.
It seriously affects normal life.
This matter soon reached the ears of the emperor, who also took it seriously and sent the prince down to resolve the matter.
An Zichen and his men stayed on guard for a day and a night, but in the end they didn't find out that the Third Prince's people had any contact with any grain store, so he finally gave up.
Xia Qiyue thought about it and finally made a decision.
She went to Yunlu Academy, found Pei Heng, and found Yun Zhichu through Pei Heng.
Until the two of them sat in the private room of Ruyi Restaurant, Yun Zhichu felt a little dizzy.
"Has Miss Xia got a business deal with Yun so soon?"
Xia Qiyue slowly took a sip of tea and nodded mysteriously, "Yes! And Mr. Yun has eaten this thing, so the business will definitely be prosperous, but before that, I still have a business with Mr. Yun."
