With Qi Jiguang sweeping through Longmen Bay with his fleet, despite the bloody success of escaping, the Red Flag Gang has become history, and the entire sea area of western Guangdong will usher in a period of peace.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Qi Jiguang also returned with a group of prisoners of war and a fleet full of loot, even if the treasure was eliminated, this operation was extremely fruitful.

After the elimination of the Red Flag Gang, there is actually another important task.

Two big black boats loaded with rice left Longmen Bay and began to put the rice on the market, from Lianzhou to Qiongzhou and then to Leizhou to carry out disaster relief work.

In just one day, a three-masted black ship loaded with rice sailed into the picturesque Leizhou Bay. Then, everyone watched as truckloads of snow-white rice were unloaded from the boat and transported to Leizhou City through Zhenyang Avenue.

At this time, Leizhou Mansion was already shrouded in clouds.

The rice grain that was often closed was officially sold out, which exceeded Dai Beihe's previous judgment.

But it was because after Lin Haoran left Leizhou City, several rice merchants hid in the shadows to add fuel to the fire. The claim that the government granary was running out of rice and grain intensified the fears of the people in the city, thus causing a rush to buy.

Nowadays, the lack of food has become the most concerned problem for the people of Leizhou City.

The Aimin Rice Shop, which has been closed all the time, reopened today, and the shopkeeper put a "four taels and one stone" rice price sign on the snow-white rice pile, and stood at the door and said confidently to the people who were pointing: "Now there is no rice in the government!" I collected these rice from all over the country at a high price, and I found a way out for my father, old and fellow villagers, and the government had no right to interfere in this matter, so everyone could buy it with confidence. ”

"That's!"

"Isn't it? These are the rice he has been hoarding! ”

"Compared with the United Rice Company, these rice merchants are jackals!"

……

The onlookers blamed him and resolutely labeled him a profiteer.

It's just that some people have to be convinced and choose to eat this kind of high-priced rice. After all, yesterday evening, the government warehouse was indeed destocked with grain, and now it can only buy rice from these profiteers.

"Want a fight? Great! When the money shopkeeper heard that someone wanted to buy rice, he immediately sold it himself.

When he took the four coins, he shook them proudly, knowing that his good days were coming. According to the current situation, it will be able to make a lot of money in less than half a month.

"Look!"

But at this moment, someone pointed to the street in front and said loudly.

All the people turned their heads to look at it, only to see rice carts coming in a long queue, and passing by the door of this shop in a mighty way.

"It's ......"

The money shopkeeper was enthusiastically holding rice for a customer, but when he saw the rice carts passing in front of him, the whole person was completely stunned, and he was suddenly struck by lightning.

"Give me back the money, I'm not going to buy it!" When a sturdy customer saw this, he threw the rice bag back and reached out to ask for the silver two ways.

Mutter......

The money shopkeeper swallowed his mouth, although his reputation for being stingy was very loud, but he had to compromise in the face of the wicked. In addition, he found that this matter was not simple, and the plan to hoard rice for profit was afraid to go bankrupt.

"Let's go!"

Dai Beihe, the general judge of the Leizhou Mansion, who was wearing a six-grade official uniform, looked energetic, and took the officials to swagger through the city majestically, and personally escorted the rice to the United Rice Company.

Facing the swarming people, Dai Beihe stood on the steps and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, this official is here to speak on behalf of the Lord Fuzun!" In addition to continuing to set up porridge sheds outside Zhenyangmen, this large batch of rice will be sold by the United Rice Bank, and the price of rice will be reduced to eight yuan and one stone, and you will definitely not be allowed to eat the high-priced rice of four taels and one stone. ”

"What? Eight coins and one stone? ”

Many onlookers were immediately excited, which was no less than a bombshell. I thought I was going to eat high-priced rice, but I never expected that the government would get such a large amount of rice from nowhere, and the price would drop.

"How so?"

There were a few rice merchants hiding in the crowd, and when they heard the news, the whole person was immediately petrified. Although I don't understand why the government has such confidence, the facts are in front of them, and their hoarding of rice for profit has been declared bankrupt.

As soon as the news broke, the people of the city were greatly excited, and many people came to watch the procession of transporting rice.

Originally, many people wanted to take advantage of the low price to buy more rice, but watching the truckloads of rice being transported into the city in an endless stream, the restless heart calmed down.

It's the same with people, when emotions calm down, behavior is driven towards reason.

After seeing with my own eyes that the rice warehouse of the United Rice Bank was filled, and a truckload of rice was transported to the Changping warehouse of Leizhou Prefecture for storage, the people who had enough grain at home did not plan to buy rice.

Syllable!

Those rice merchants who have been waiting for the government to run out of granaries and make a windfall from this disaster. Just when I thought that a good day was coming, when I saw the appearance of Shangshi Wan Rice, I was immediately slapped by reality with a loud slap.

Not only did they fail to make huge profits from the disaster, but they also missed the golden age of rice sales, which tarnished their reputation.

In this turmoil, United Rice has undoubtedly won a good reputation.

At a time when all the rice merchants were trying to make huge profits, only the United Trading Company kept the price of rice low until the last grain of rice in the warehouse was sold.

It is entirely conceivable that in the future rice sales, it will be difficult for these rice merchants to compete with United Rice Stores. And this move also allowed United Rice Bank to win the hearts of the people, which is the biggest profit.

With the news that a large number of Siamese rice has entered Leizhou City, not only the price of rice in Leizhou City, but also other counties have been affected, and even the rice market in Guangzhou City has also fallen.

In essence, the summer floods affected the grain harvest, but the main cause of the food shortage was the hoarding of rice, and many merchants and large landowners wanted to take advantage of the disaster to make profits.

When everyone saw that the possibility of making a profit was reduced, especially the news that the price of rice in Leizhou had dropped to eight dollars and one stone, many merchants and big landlords who hoarded rice could no longer sit still, and took the initiative to reduce prices and sell.

This long-lasting rice price turmoil seems to be coming to an end.

Many people have also begun to re-examine Lin Haoran, a real trendsetter.

When they learned that Xu Ji had arrested Zhao Yong, the commander of Lian Zhouwei, many people thought that Lin Haoran was going to be in big trouble. But he didn't expect that Lin Leigong suddenly adopted the momentum of thunder, not only killing all the squires led by Jiang Yuanwai, but also exterminating the Red Flag Gang, which had always been regarded as a trouble.
