Changsun Chong asked: "Did this bitch eat something he shouldn't have eaten? Why is he so crazy? Also, where are the grain merchants who drank with me last night? Why can't you see anyone?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Changsun Chong and asked in a low voice: "Master, don't you know yet?"
"What does this young master know?"
"Many of those grain merchants are crazy!"
crazy?
Changsun Chong was a little dumbfounded.
He grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar and asked viciously: "What on earth is going on?"
It's only been one night, what happened?
The shopkeeper whispered: "Sir, you'd better... go outside and take a look!"
He dared not tell the truth.
"Huh, trash!"
Changsun Chong cursed and hurriedly walked out of the yard and outside.
Zuixianju is right next to Renmin Avenue.
Therefore, as soon as you go out, you will reach the People's Avenue.
I saw people coming and going on the avenue, which was very lively.
Just a few days ago, countless people were looking sad because they couldn't buy food and were starved to eat. From time to time, there were reports of people dying of starvation.
But now, I see many people smiling broadly, as if they have found a treasure.
Looking around again, carriages were speeding past.
Changsun Chong asked curiously: "What are those?"
An old man glanced at him and said, "Young man, you don't even know this. This is our lifeblood!"
Changsun Chong was puzzled, "My life depends on a carriage. Are you going to be a eunuch in the palace?"
The old man was so angry that he almost hit someone: "You bastard, I'm talking about food, food is our lifeblood!"
Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment.
food?
Could it be that the grain merchants have already started selling grain before I wake up?
wrong!
He took a look and saw that these grain carriages were all coming from outside the city.
The Changsun family and the big grain merchants all store grain in the city, so how can it be transported in from outside the city.
He grabbed the old man's sleeve and asked, "Where did all this food come from?"
The old man looked at Changsun Chong as if he were an idiot, "Of course the food comes from Hu County, you don't know, right? Early this morning, the Hu County Grain Distribution Center posted an advertisement saying that the food from Jiangnan has arrived.
From now on, the grain is open for sale. I won’t tell you anymore. I’ll call my son and I’m going to buy grain.”
"impossible!"
"How can this be!"
"We have bought all the food from the Huxian Grain Distribution Center and the Dream Group. Where will the food come from now? This is a lean season!"
The eldest grandson muttered to Nuonuo, looking a little flustered.
At this moment, several figures came to Changsun Chong's side.
Changsun Chong turned around and saw that all of them looked lonely and did not speak. They were the grain merchants he had led before.
Changsun Chong asked: "Which one of you will tell me what is going on?"
A slightly fat man said: "Mr. Changsun, I couldn't believe it at first when I got the news. It wasn't until I saw carts of grain entering Chang'an City and asked someone to inquire that I found out that it was true. The Huxian Grain Distribution Center had another
There is food now, and it is open for sale. The price is the same as before, very cheap."
Changsun Chong shook his head and said in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible. It is May now, which is the time of drought. There is a shortage of food everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. How can Du He get food? This must be a lie... You guys
, follow me to the Huxian Grain Distribution Center to see what’s going on. I must expose Du He’s deception."
With that said, he led everyone in a carriage to the Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
Got off the carriage.
Looking around, all I saw were human heads.
Then many people came out happily carrying food.
In the distance, next to Anhu Avenue, two long grain transport convoys just arrived.
Carloads of grain are transported into the warehouse of the Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
All this is true!
Changsun Chong asked curiously: "Everyone, if we buy all this food, can we... fight again?"
He lacked confidence and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw several big grain merchants who were about to cry.
Someone said: "Master Changsun...I...I am already penniless. In order to buy food, I even sold the paintings and calligraphy that I have collected for many years. Now, I have nothing."
"I'm also waiting to get rich. I even sold a few revolving wooden chairs at home."
"I'm even worse off. I even sold the glass windows in my house, and now I don't even have any windows."
Everyone was crying and mourning.
One person said: "Mr. Changsun, I have asked someone to inquire. It is said that the grain transported by the Huxian Grain Distribution Center this time is more than the grain sold before... This time, we are all in trouble... With so much grain, how can we still have it?"
How to sell it!"
As he said this, each of the guys couldn't help but wipe their tears.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Changsun?"
A voice suddenly sounded nearby.
Changsun Chong and others turned around and saw a young man in purple walking slowly over.
It's Du He.
"Du He...you..." Changsun Chong opened his mouth to scold Du He.
But he suddenly discovered that Du He didn't seem to be involved in the whole thing.
Moreover, buying and selling grain has nothing to do with Du He.
I don't even know where to start with the reprimand.
Then, he asked coldly: "Du He, are you here to see my joke?"
Du He came over, looked at everyone, put down the fan in his hand, shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to help you."
Um?
No one believed it.
What good things can come out of a weasel paying New Year greetings to a rooster?
Duhe was notoriously unkind to his enemies.
For example, the Lu family offended him, and was eventually forced to rebel and then destroyed.
The grain merchants around Changsun Chong were so frightened that they all took a step back.
Who doesn't know that the big devil kills people when he smiles?
Changsun Chong smiled and said: "Du He, I would like to hear how you plan to help us?"
Du He said: "The way is simple, that is, sell your food to me!"
"Selling it to you? Would you be so kind?"
"Of course, what I'm talking about is that the price is the same as the current Huxian Grain Distribution Center."
"impossible……"
Changsun Chong shouted.
Regardless of the Changsun family or other grain dealers, in addition to buying a lot of grain from the Huxian Grain Distribution Center at low prices, other grains purchased from the grain market were at least the market price, and some even reached five times the market price.
times.
Now if we sell it at the price of Huxian Grain Distribution Center, won’t we lose money?
What's more, in order to sell grain, there are many people who smash pots, sell iron, and sell goods at a low price. In the end, they will suffer even more losses.
Therefore, everyone shook their heads, saying it was impossible.
Changsun Chong couldn't help shouting: "Du He, why don't you go and grab it!"
