For a whole day, Su Jin's mind was not idle, according to the current situation, tomorrow spring, the world will not be peaceful; It is true that if the official warehouses run out of grain tomorrow spring, and the hoarding merchants sell the grain several times the high price, the rich families or wealthy families will be able to survive, but the lives of the people living at the bottom of the society will be miserable.

In May, the price of grain had risen by nearly 30 percent when Su Ji tun grain, originally less than 500 wen per stone, Su Ji shot quickly, and finally 26 big ships loaded 80,000 stone grain back, with an average price of 650 wen, which rose by as much as 30 per cent in just ten days.

The Luzhou Chamber of Commerce, which followed Su Ji and had no south, was half a month behind, and their purchase price had risen to two or three hundred wen per stone, which was more than double the original price.

The reason for the soaring food prices is naturally the result of the frenzied purchases of merchants, and everyone knows that there will be such an opportunity to make a lot of money next spring, so it is not surprising that they have vigorously hoarded within the financial capacity and raised the purchase price.

The purchase price has reached the usual level of two or three hundred, and the grain price for next spring when there is a shortage of grain will be at least two or more stones, a family of seven will have to eat at least three stones of grain a month, and the spring famine will last for at least four to five months, and these families will have to spend nearly 30 yuan on grain alone.

For the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, most of whom had an annual income of less than 20 yuan, they had to save for more than a year without eating or drinking for the food money for these four or five months so that they would not starve.

This is just a theoretical calculation, the poor people can live their lives tightly is already a gift from God, and they can balance down five times a year, that must be a smart woman in the family, careful budgeting, and usually pay attention to frugality.

In this situation, next spring will be a great chaos, people can do anything to fill their stomachs, vagrancy and begging are still light, selling children and daughters, robbing and looting, and gathering violence. chaos, and even eating human flesh alive.

Su Jin couldn't continue to think about it, the image presented in his mind made him shudder, Su Jin was ashamed that he was part of the profiteers who hoarded the price of grain, and he had not taken these things into account when making this decision at that time; It is true that in business, it is the duty of a businessman to pursue profit, if he blindly pursues profit, the first clause of 'righteousness, faith and profit' that he personally modified in Su Ji's shop motto is a living joke.

It's easy to do your own thing, this mere 80,000 stone grain storage is nothing to sell at a flat price, it's just a drop in the bucket, what can 80,000 stone be worth, the key to the problem is how to let the merchants who store grain spit out all the hoarded grain; This is the fundamental solution.

Su Jin scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and after a day of tea and dinner, he gave himself a crisp big mouth in the school hall when he got out of school, which shocked all the students and looked at each other, not knowing which evil he had fallen into.

"The emperor is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry to die of the eunuch." Su Jin secretly scolded himself, should he think about these national affairs? He had already told Yan Biyun about the huge amount of food hoarded by the merchants, and Yan Biyun would definitely tell Yan Shu, who was worried about this.

How to get these grains out is a matter for Yan Shu and the imperial court, he is worried about himself here, and he is also a second commodity who is laughed at to death, this mouth should be pumped, when will this kind of problem of worrying about the country and the people come.

Su Jin returned to the house after school, and unexpectedly found that Yan Biyun had already come, chatting with Huanniang Xiaosui and them in the room.

Su Jin rushed into Rou Niang's room, and several women in the bluff scattered like a fried pot, and hid behind the cabinet behind the bed.

Su Jin was surprised: "What are you doing?" Am I a tiger? ”

"Son, didn't you come in without knocking? This is Huanniang's room. Xiao Sui'er said dissatisfied.

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: When did I enter Huanniang's room and knock on the door? I touched it several times in the night, but I didn't knock on the door at all.

Yan Biyun's voice remembered behind the bed curtain: "Get out, get out." ”

Su Jin was even more curious, blinked his eyes and said, "What are you doing, sneaky." ”

"We're trying on new clothes with Sister Yan, so let's go out quickly." Xiao Sui'er waved her snow-white little arms at Su Jin behind the cabinet.

Su Jin realized that a few women were trying on small clothes inside, and it seemed that Xiao Sui'er was doing favors with the new clothes brought by Rou Niang; Although I really wanted to probe to see, but because everyone was there, I had to mumble out of the room, and walked into the courtyard to see Wang Zhaohu and them lifting stone locks and sandbags.

The kung fu of the four major foodies is not covered, the stone lock of one hundred and ten catties is dancing in his hand, and the muscles on the arms that are exposed outside in black kan shoulders are tangled, and the pimples are bulging into the flesh, and Su Jin is envious when he sees it.

These foodies eat three or four bowls of sea per meal, and the vegetables in the bowls are piled up like a hill, and if they don't grow muscles, they won't lose their lives.

Looking at them, and then at his little thin arms, Su Jin sighed, and scolded angrily in his heart; It's been a few months of exercising every day, and I'm still as thin as a grass chicken, but fortunately, my body is gradually flexible, but compared with the few foodies in front of me, it's too far behind.

Several women in the inner hall cleaned up and sent Xiao Sui'er out to invite Su Jin in, Su Jin hurriedly entered the palace and entered Huanniang's room, the tea on the table was ready, Yan Biyun sat at the table with a red face and stared at him.

Su Jin smiled: "Have you changed your clothes?" Is this all? This doesn't seem like a new dress, isn't it, didn't you wear this purple skirt this morning? ”

Yan Biyun glanced at him and said, "You are a man, what do you care about what women wear every day?" ”

Su Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Then what do I care about?" Is it a national event? I'd like to, but who's going to listen to me? ”

Yan Biyun was speechless, turned his head and ignored him; Xiao Sui'er said: "The little maid gave Sister Yan the bright yellow satin dress that Sister Rou Niang gave me, I wore too loose, Sister Yan is just right." ”

Yan Biyun couldn't stop it, and her face was red with shame.

Su Jin sighed, his eyes involuntarily looked at the collar of Yan Biyun's shirt, and said in his heart: It turned out that he was trying on small clothes, no wonder Xiao Sui'er wore a loose satir, just your two small steamed buns, it's strange if they are not loose; Yan Biyun is too small to dress well.

Su Jin's eyes looked wildly, Yan Biyun couldn't bear it, and coughed lightly and said: "The slave family has something serious to tell you, if you don't want to listen, the slave family will leave." ”

Su Jin hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Listen, why don't you listen!" I'm sitting here unruly waiting for you to say, but I didn't talk nonsense. ”

Yan Biyun can't do anything about him, this guy is not much different from the gangsters on the street when he is lazy, how can he get along with him with all his heart, Yan Biyun seriously doubts whether his vision is accurate.

"The slave family has already written to my uncle about what you said." Yan Biyun said.

"I know that this matter is related to Lord Yan's errand, and I should have told him."

"Is there any way you can resolve this matter smoothly?"

"I didn't think about it." Su Jin lied cheekily, but he couldn't say that he hadn't come up with a good solution after thinking about it for a day.

"If you think about it, maybe you can help my uncle."

"This matter has its own court to do, Lord Yan's intelligence is the top figure today, and he has seen the world ten thousand times bigger than me, why should I worry about it, am I full of food?" Su Jin picked up a quick muffin on the table and threw it into his mouth.

Yan Biyun thought about it, and Su Jin said the same, he was eager to help his uncle solve this problem, and wanted to ask Lang Jun to help him think of a way, maybe his uncle didn't need help at all.

I don't know why, Yan Biyun always thinks that Su Jin must have a good idea, and today she has also thought about it for a long time, and feels that it is really difficult to get the merchant to spit out the food willingly, she herself just doesn't have any tricks, so she is not sure if Yan Shu will have a good way.

"You said you had a secret to tell me, what secret?" Su Jin chewed on the crunchy pastry, took a sip of green tea and asked.

Yan Biyun smiled and said, "Aren't you amazingly smart?" Guess what? ”

Su Jin scratched his head and said: "When did I say that I was smart and ruthless, although I am indeed smart, I generally don't say such things publicly." ”

Yan Biyun covered her mouth and almost didn't squirt out the tea in her mouth, Huanniang laughed when she ate and laughed, and Xiao Sui'er pointed at Su Jin's nose and laughed.

Su Jin touched his nose casually and said: "But, you asked me to guess so abruptly, and there is no direction, if I guess who you dreamed of last night, don't blame me." ”

"Who do you dream about? Bah! You're as thick as the city walls. Yan Biyun didn't react at first, but after reacting, she took a sip, blushing with shame, this guy was talking in front of the two maids, fortunately Xiao Xian'er was not here, if she was here, she was afraid that she would hang the wine jug with her mouth pouting.

"Excuse me, about what?"

"Hmm...... Luzhou's affairs...... About your plans. Yan Biyun said.

"My plan?" Su Jin thought about it, he only told Yan Biyun about his plan for the Chamber of Commerce, that is, to launch a counterattack on the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow spring, what secrets would Yan Biyun have to hide about this matter.

"Sister Yan found out about the Chamber of Commerce? Found evidence of their deaths? Su Jin guessed casually.

"What puts people to death, it's weird and scary, how can the slave family have the evidence to catch them." 、

"That means that Sister Yan will cooperate with me to launch and help me?" Su Jin guessed again.

"It's a little close, guess how I can help you."

Su Jin recalled all his plans, found out the key points, and suddenly shook his body and said, "Could it be that Sister Yan will provide me with a large amount of funds to help me?" ”

Yan Biyun smiled: "It's almost, your guess is already very close, I can't see that you are really a smart person." ”

Su Jin said proudly: "That's nature." ”

Yan Biyun pursed his lips and smiled: "It's just that you still guessed wrong, the key to your plan is to make the Chamber of Commerce lose all its money next spring, and the most important thing at that time is not money, but ......"

Su Jin's eyes widened and interrupted Yan Biyun's words: "Grain? When did you store your grain? How many? ”

Yan Biyun slowly stretched out his little hand and shook it in front of Su Jin's eyes, Su Jin said, "Five thousand stones? ”

Yan Biyun shook her head.

"Fifty thousand stones?"

“……”

"Five...... Ten...... Ten thousand? Su Jin's voice began to tremble.

Yan Biyun smiled and nodded.

Su Jin's eyes were wide open like light bulbs, and he couldn't retract his tongue for a long time, and he muttered after a while: "You're not kidding, right?" ”
