Hou Fangyu wiped the sweat on his forehead, patted his chest and said, "Father, please rest assured. Let's return to the Dehou clan is a big family in Henan, how many protégés in Kaifeng City are old, how can my father not handle this matter? ”

Hou Sui nodded slowly: "It's good to do it...... Just get it right! ”

Behind Hou Sui, Wu Shijiao, who had a steady footstep, stroked his long beard and said: "Don't worry, Inspector, that Zhu Cihong is a vertical son, do you really think that Kaifeng City will still do whatever he wants?" Let's see, he has some ability! ”

Kaifeng City, Cong Shanfang.

At the intersection leading to Caomen, a social soldier hurriedly dragged off the armor on his body, looking left and right, anxious and unspeakable.

Suddenly, when the social soldier saw a person who came over, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Brother Tan! Help me keep watch. When the social soldier saw the visitor, he said eagerly: "My mother said that the Jiao family rice store will sell ten stone rice today, and if you don't go, you won't be able to buy anything!" ”

The person who is called Brother Tan is of course the president of Caomen Shebing in Congshanfang, Feng Tantan. And he is also familiar with this social soldier, that is, the social soldier who was frightened and went crazy in the city, and finally it was Tie Yi who rescued him, named Ji Changxiang.

Seeing Ji Changxiang hurriedly running over, Feng Tantan scratched his head a little and didn't understand: "Isn't Jiaojia Rice Store the one with the highest rice price near Caomen?" One stone of rice costs eight taels of silver, which is so expensive to the sky! ”

Feng Tantan, as the president of Congshanfang's society, followed Tie Yi of Caomen Headquarters, and had hundreds of stones of grain and rice at home, and he couldn't feel the pain of lack of food.

Eight taels of rice made Feng Tantan feel too expensive.

But soon, Feng Tantan took over Ji Changxiang's armor. More than a dozen social soldiers appeared out of nowhere in Cong Shanfang, and said anxiously: "President." Please be sure to buy rice! ”

"Don't talk about eight taels. A lot of rice shops are closed! Money can't buy it! ”

"Don't be stunned, things in the city will slow down first, my mother-in-law doesn't even have to get rice out of the pot, and I'm going to buy rice!"

……

Mihang Hutong.

"Just pity me, there are eight people in the family, sell me one more bucket!" A thin old scholar with a thin figure and shabby single clothes was lying on the rice cabinet, his voice miserable.

In the Jiaojia rice shop, several stout men walked out with sticks. shouted loudly: "What to rob!" The good old man said, you are only allowed to buy eight liters of rice, and you dare to spill it, don't want this rice! ”

After speaking, a black-faced man snorted coldly and put his foot on the old scholar's waist.

Suddenly, the eight buckets of rice in the old scholar's arms were sprinkled on the ground.

And inside the cabinet, the impatient shopkeeper waved his hand, slapped the counter guy on the shoulder and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, next!" After another hour, the shop will be closed. So stupid. How can the owner want you to work, no matter how verbose you are, you will also go out with Kai Ge! ”

When the guy heard this, he suddenly shuddered. hurriedly shouted: "The next one is coming up, I can't buy rice yet!" ”

"Buy, buy! Eight liters. I'll buy eight liters! Bought all ......."

"Ten taels of silver!"

"Huh?"

"Eight liters, ten taels of silver. Can't understand people? ”

"Isn't it eight taels and one stone?"

"Eleven, two, eight!"

"Ahhh......h I buy, I buy! ”

"Why is it only ten taels of silver? Less! Eleven taels. What, don't you want to buy it? ”

"I'll give, I'll give ......"

Outside the counter, Ji Changxiang, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly poured all the broken silver in the blanket, and even the guy didn't dare to speak after taking three more coins of broken silver. I just hurriedly took the cloth bag and went to another place to load rice.

On the ground, an old scholar trembled his hands and kept pulling back the rice that had been kicked on the ground and spilled back into the rice bag.

It's just that this rice bag may not be strong enough, and it broke a little after falling, so that while picking it up, it quietly leaked some more.

Behind him, a little girl with her eyes wide open and her body as thin as wood held a small bamboo basket and quietly picked it up.

Just pretending a little, the little girl stiffened.

Because, the old scholar shouted: "Don't rob it, my rice is going to be trampled on...... Don't rob my rice...... Don't ......"

Boom......

Suddenly, the old scholar fell suddenly.

A thin man slammed into the old scholar's body, and the old scholar fell to the ground, and the rice bag in his arms was immediately snatched away.

Along the way, some blackened rice spilled from the holes filled the side streets.

Seeing this, the little girl immediately quietly picked up five steps, and hurriedly disappeared into the street with the small basket.

Only the old scholar looked at the thin man's back and wailed: "The way of this world ...... But how do you live! ”

In Kaifeng City, it was lively overnight.

The lively point is the rice line that is mainly in the east city and spreads throughout Kaifeng. The family of the small rice shop guards the warehouse and does not sell any rice.

The big rice row is more than a dozen strong men holding sticks, knives and guns, and selling them at a high price.

The price of rice is expensive, and four words that originally only appeared in books appeared in the minds of all Kaifeng people. On all roads, there are people looking for grain and rice to be sold.

But more Kaifeng people can only look at the closed rice line in despair and wail.

The stronger Kaifeng people could only rush home in a hurry to sell ten stone rice in the next day, and sell their capital.

For a time, the pawnshop in the city became another most lively place in Kaifeng City.

At this moment, the city of Kaifeng has gathered most of the refugees in Henan on the south bank of the Yellow River, as well as more refugees with weak family resources.

Coupled with the already large number of Kaifeng locals, the population of the entire city has reached nearly one million.

With such a large population, all the rice shops in Kaifeng City only sell more than 100 stone grain rice in one day.

Qingyuan.

"So, the average price of grain and rice in Kaifeng City has risen to nine taels and six yuan?" Hou Sui said in surprise.

Wu Shijiao bowed slightly: "There are also some high-selling ones, I have taught them all a lesson." Let's open the grain line and get the average price. Tomorrow, the minimum shall not exceed eleven taels, and the maximum shall not exceed eleven taels or three dollars. ”

As the prefect of Kaifeng, his news is naturally the most well-informed. It is also the head snake chosen by Hou Sui in this planning. In fact, Hou Sui can also be regarded as the head snake in Henan. The Jiao family rice store is an ally of the Hou family, and there are tens of thousands of stones of grain and rice in the city. It is the best rice store in the city.

Seeing this, Hou Fangyu on the side laughed playfully: "Just today's harvest, we have earned thousands of taels!" ”

Inside the house, there was also a wealthy merchant wearing a delicate Su woven robe and said with a smile: "It's more than Chaozong expected." The 10,000 stone military rations that were transported in this time were sold, and in the end they could earn at least 300,000 taels! ”

"Isn't this just a stone of rice to buy thirty taels?" Hou Fangyu exclaimed, and then said with a smile: "Then let's see how Qin Xia raises military supplies this time!" (To be continued......)
