Fang Yiai's hair was messy, she was chewing a hard cake in her hand, and then walked down to the next house.
He carries a bag on his back.
The bag contains neither Kaiyuan Tongbao nor gold or silver.
But pieces of paper.
The person next to me said distressedly: "Sir, you have met more than a dozen households today, why don't you take a break?"
Fang Yiai shook her head: "The task assigned to me by the teacher has not been completed, so how can I rest."
"But... in just a few days, we have raised hundreds of thousands of catties of grain."
"It's not enough! The teacher said in his letter that the more food, the better. It's only a few hundred thousand kilograms, but it's not enough."
He reached into his pocket and squeezed a thick piece of paper.
These papers can actually buy food.
Not to mention the people around her, even Fang Yiai herself didn't expect it.
He leads everyone and is creating miracles.
…
Chang'an.
In the small courtyard.
Everyone clapped their hands and celebrated.
Changsun Chong laughed proudly: "Our strategy has taken effect. Everyone, the price of food today has returned to the previous market price. In a few days, the price of food will definitely continue to rise. By then, we will
If you sell the grain, you will definitely make a lot of money. The most important thing is that now, many people do not trust the Huxian Grain Distribution Center. If this matter continues to ferment for a while, the Huxian Grain Distribution Center will be destroyed.
If we get rid of it, the grain market in Chang'an City will still be ours."
"Young Master Changsun is mighty!"
"It's all thanks to the help of the eldest grandson!"
"Ha ha……"
No one present was unhappy.
A grain merchant said: "Master Changsun, in your opinion, when is the right time for us to start selling grain?"
Changsun Chong thought for a moment and said, "No, it's too early to talk about selling grain now. What we should consider is purchasing grain?"
What?
Everyone looked at Changsun Chong in surprise.
Someone said: "Mr. Changsun, did I hear you correctly? The price of grain is now the same as the previous market price. If we collect grain at this time, wouldn't we be collecting grain at a high price? Aren't we going to be unable to make money?"
Changsun Chong sneered: "You guys are short-sighted. Do you really think that food prices will stop rising? What if we try our best to buy up all the food in the grain market?"
hiss!
Many people took a breath of air.
Someone couldn't help but say: "Master Changsun, do you...do you want to drive up the price of food? But will the court just sit back and do nothing?"
Changsun Chong said proudly: "If you do this, the court will definitely take care of it, but if the Changsun family is involved in this matter, no one will pay attention to it in the short term. Don't worry, just go ahead and do it."
…
From that day on, big grain merchants took action.
As long as there is grain in the grain market, everything has been bought up.
Food prices continue to rise.
It has reached more than twice the previous market price, but it has no intention of stopping.
There is less and less food available.
…
Hu County.
Prince Consort's Mansion.
backyard.
Under the osmanthus tree.
Du He and Ma Zhou are playing chess.
Ma Zhounai is a professional chess player, but facing Du He, he felt powerless.
As it rained, Ma Zhou said: "Master, now the grain market in Chang'an is in chaos. There is no guarantee that the imperial court will not pay attention to this matter. By then, if someone has ulterior motives, they will spread the word in the court that this matter is caused by the Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
, Wang Laowu is only afraid that he will be implicated."
Du He put down a piece of cake and asked: "Old Ma, do you think the price of food in Chang'an will still rise?"
Ma Zhou said firmly: "It will definitely happen. Now the big grain merchants are not releasing grain, but buying grain instead. There is less and less grain on the grain market, and the price will definitely continue to rise."
Du He smiled and said, "I said no."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because, next, the people will sell grain."
"Common people? Impossible... The people's thinking is very simple. Food is what they need to survive. If they sell it, they will definitely feel uneasy. Besides, most of the food is in the hands of big grain merchants. How much food do the people have..." Ma
Zhou shook his head, feeling that Du He's words were a bit incredible.
Du He stopped talking.
At this time, Zhang Jian hurried over.
He whispered in Du He's ear: "Young Master, there are distinguished guests coming to our door."
"What distinguished guest? Tell him I'm not here," Du He said.
In the past few days, many people have come to visit us because of food issues.
Du He had long been impatient.
Before Zhang Jian could speak, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Du He, you are so brave. Now that there is a turmoil outside, you still have the heart to play chess here, why don't you get out of here?"
It is the voice of His Majesty Li Er today.
Swish.
Ma Zhou stood up quickly and greeted him.
Du He slowly stood up and asked curiously: "Father, I am in a dilemma. I don't know if you want me to get out or if you want me to stand up!"
Li Er waved his hand and told Ma Zhou and everyone around him to leave.
Then, he sat in Ma Zhou's seat.
Li Er stared at Du He and asked, "Does it mean that if I don't come to Hu County, you won't go to the palace and tell me the truth?"
"What?"
Du He's eyes widened: "Father, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Snapped.
Li Eryi slapped the chess pieces, causing the chess pieces on the chessboard to jump everywhere.
"Are you still pretending to be stupid with me? I'm talking about the grain market." Li Er said with a puff of nose and a glare.
Du He laughed and said, "I thought that since my father lived deep in the palace, he probably didn't know about it. Nowadays, among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, there are some who are aware of this matter and some who are not, but everyone's attitude is the same.
That means keeping silent about this matter, how did my father know about it?"
Li Er said angrily: "If I don't even know this, and let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty deceive me, what else would that be but a coward?"
As he spoke, he stared at Du He.
Du He said hurriedly: "This is what you said yourself, it has nothing to do with me."
Li Er: "..."
After a long while, Li Er looked at Du He with burning eyes and asked: "He'er, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Du He said with a smile: "Father, are you telling the truth?"
"certainly!"
"My son, I want them to die!"
"What?" Li Er was shocked, "You want them to die? They just want to defeat the Huxian Grain Distribution Center, and you actually..."
"Father, do you want to say that I am too cruel?"
"Is not it?"
"Haha..." Du He laughed, "The relationship between me and the big grain merchants was already forged the moment the Huxian Grain Distribution Center opened. We have different paths and cannot work together. The big grain merchants have to work alone.
We want to make money, but Dream Group wants to bring everyone together to make a fortune. We are incompatible with each other. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. I can only survive and they will die!"
