Chapter 281: In Five Days, Food Prices Dropped
"Stomp!"
On the official road leading to Chang'an, the sound of vibration came, and hundreds of horses galloped, and if anyone saw it, they were destined to be stunned.
The reason is very simple, these are not imaginary men with huge waists, but all women's army.
Of course, if you have a little knowledge, you will know that there is only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty who has a female army.
"Qianlin, how long will it take to get to Chang'an?"
A cold voice sounded, and there seemed to be a hint of urgency in the words.
This person is none other than Princess Pingyang, after receiving Li Shimin's letter, Li Xiuning arranged the affairs of Liaodong and rushed back to Chang'an non-stop.
With these guards, it can be said that they traveled day and night, leaving no remaining time, and only wanted to return to Chang'an.
"Princess, there are about five days to go."
Qian Lin's voice sounded, with a hint of worry in her words, as if she didn't understand why the princess was in such a hurry.
However, it is also impossible to question his master, so this matter is hidden in the bottom of his heart.
"Hmm!"
Li Xiuning's eyes showed a distant scene, and he was a little absent-minded, as if he remembered something.
For Li Xiuning, Chang'an is not a good memory, but this time there is someone she has to come back.
........
With the passage of time, the grain from Lingnan also arrived, and the news of this grain had already reached Shu An's ears as soon as it entered Chang'an.
"Sure enough, Li Shimin can't bear his character."
Shu An's eyes flickered and he muttered softly, this matter was not unexpected by him, Feng Ang naturally did not dare to disobey Li Shimin's order.
What's more, who sells is not selling, anyway, for Feng An, Lingnan's grain is not precious.
If it can consolidate its position in Li Shimin's heart, then it is the most important thing, you must know that the last time many people impeached Feng An, presumably this Feng Zhuguo should be frightened.
After all, Lingnan is nothing in this era, and Feng Ang knows what will happen if he rebels.
Of course, in Shu An's eyes, when the Xuanwu Gate changed, it was the best time for Feng Ang to rebel, since there was no rebellion at the beginning, it will naturally not be now.
On top of the facts, there are many records about the Lingnan Feng clan on top of history, and Feng Ang also has no idea of rebellion.
"Master, this batch of grain has attracted a lot of attention when it enters Chang'an."
Laifu spoke up beside his master, with a look of admiration on his face, because all this was expected by his master.
"Then let's start planning."
Shu An's eyes flickered and said softly, anyway, the loss is the interests of these families, so he naturally doesn't care.
What's more, this time there is Li Shimin to take the blame, he is even more happy in his heart, anyway, Li Shimin has done too much to carry the blame, so he will not worry.
Changan
"What, cheap grain?"
"How is this possible? How can these grain merchants reduce their prices? ”
"Since the last natural disaster in Chang'an, the grain has not come back, how can there be cheap food?"
.......
Of course, it was not enough to cause a discussion just a batch of grain, but the next day, a large amount of grain was still escorted into Chang'an.
Even the grain merchants who didn't care about it before couldn't help but panic at this time, obviously they couldn't hold their breath anymore.
On the third day, the same scene happened again, and the grain convoy continued to be escorted in from Chang'an.
And these grain merchants really couldn't sit still, and they contacted the relationships behind them, wanting to know where these grains came from.
The words of some grain merchants have begun to waver, and they can't help but start to reduce their prices, dropping by a penny per bucket of rice, and even by a penny and a half.
If you want to know who is the most sensitive to the price of rice in Chang'an, then it is naturally these ordinary people.
They are most aware of the fluctuations in the price of rice every day, but there is something strange on the faces of every person today.
"What's going on? Has the price of rice fallen? ”
"Do you take this opportunity to buy a few more buckets?"
"Wait, don't worry, I heard that the price of rice in Chang'an will fall again."
......
The common people couldn't help but talk about it, and their faces showed a hint of joy and some hesitation.
After all, they are not sure whether the price of rice will continue to fall or rise, and if it does, they will definitely regret it.
At the same time, some people in Chang'an also discovered such a strange situation, that is, the price of rice has fallen.
This person is none other than the eldest grandson Wuji who is in the Zhao Guogong Mansion at this time, even he has some fears.
"Fortunately, there was a reminder from the teacher."
The eldest grandson Wuji muttered softly, knowing that his industry has saved a lot of rice grain, if it is under the impact of Lingnan grain, then it will definitely lose at least half of its value.
Of course, in the face of this matter, Changsun Wuji also had some hesitation, he was trying to tell whether to reveal this news.
In the end, after thinking about it, let people invite a few familiar people, after all, the Lingnan grain has not been completely impacted now, and some losses can be reduced.
On the fourth day, the price of rice in the entire Chang'an fell again, and even returned to the previous Wuwen time in Chang'an.
"Has the grain been reduced back to Wuwen?"
"The conscience of these grain merchants has been discovered?"
"What's going on?"
........
The sharp drop in grain prices has not only attracted the attention of the common people this time, but also many scholars in Chang'an are also discussing this issue.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and in fact, after the news of the eldest grandson Wuji was revealed, it was destined that this matter could not be hidden.
Of course, even if the eldest grandson Wuji concealed it, it would be impossible for Shu An to spread this matter.
Now Wuwen is not the lowest price, at least in Shu An's opinion, there is still room for decline, just wait for the news to spread completely.
And on the fifth day, under the secret promotion of Shu An, the news about Lingnan grain had spread throughout Chang'an.
"What? Lingnan food is so cheap? ”
"It's only two pennies, which can buy a lot of food."
"It turns out that Lingnan has two crops of rice a year, no wonder it is so cheap."
.......
Everyone was shocked for a while, knowing that Lingnan is still a bitter cold place in the minds of many people, but they didn't expect such a surprise.
This is similar to Li Shimin's expression when he just heard this, but this is not the end, because there is another piece of news exposed.
"The grain from Lingnan has reached Chang'an!"
This short sentence of news became the last straw that pressed these rice merchants, and for a while, the price of grain in Chang'an collapsed again.
For a while, the people of Chang'an cheered, and just when Chang'an was attracted by Lingnan food, Li Xiuning and his party also appeared on the outskirts of Chang'an.
