"Are you stockpiling grain?"

Lu Yao didn't wait for the result he was waiting for, but first received a private message from the hermit asking about it. He wasn't surprised. The Xanadu Chamber of Commerce's fleet is not small-scale, and it can't be hidden from some well-intentioned people.

"Why stockpile? It's just past harvest season, right? Without waiting for Lu Yao to reply, the hermit followed up and added a private message, which was full of incomprehension.

"I raise so many people, I'm afraid of food shortages." Lu Yao didn't break it, and vaguely mentioned it.

The hermit received the reply and pondered. Lu Yao had been deified in his heart. often found that Lu Yao's previous behaviors were actually in the layout. This sudden large-scale grain stockpiling is not without reason.

The news of the evacuation of various families from Zhuya Prefecture is not a secret. When the territory moves, the population will naturally move away, but there are so many ships. Inevitably, large numbers of people will become displaced people.

The hermit knew that Lu Yao was using Jiuli Man to loot the population. Naturally, these homeless people have basically become people from Xanadu City. That's a lot of numbers. Although he did not get detailed data, he also roughly estimated that it was at least more than 100 million.

With the population skyrocketing by 100 million, the demand for food and grass will also be a frightening number.

After all, Zhuya Prefecture is scarcity-scarcity, and just one paradise city can't support that many people. The local population could not meet the demand, and it was not surprising that grain was bought in large quantities from the more affluent Central Plains.

Grain and grass, although sometimes a little more expensive, but just past a harvest season, very low.

"No, there must be something hidden." The hermit had a headache and immediately went to the expert group.

During the time of waiting, the hermit had a few more gray hairs. He couldn't guess what was hidden behind Lu Yao's seemingly normal actions.

A few days later, the panel's analysis came out. The hermit looked at the final conclusion with a strange expression, and looked up at the frustrated scholar who sent the final conclusion: "Food shortage? ”

Tian Feng has become an old man and has become a member of the expert group, responsible for analysis and research. Not to mention, Tian Feng entered the expert group, and his spirit was quite good, which made up for the shortcomings of the expert group. And Fu Zhu became his chief military advisor, and at the same time became a bridge between him and the expert group.

"I'm afraid that's what the prince meant." Frustrated, he twisted his beard and frowned. He still adheres to the inertia of NPCs, and still calls Lu Yao the prince.

"Then let's do the same." The hermit immediately commanded. If you can't figure it out, just follow along.

……

"Boss, are you stockpiling grain?"

Lu Yao soon received a private message from the thief. He hesitated, not knowing how to explain it.

Today, the Mutual Aid Alliance has become the No. 1 Alliance in Huaxia, with members in 13 states in China. However, the mutual aid alliance is very peaceful, after all, it was also a big alliance in the name of defending women's rights, and most of the members are female players, rarely fighting with others, and being a beautiful woman quietly.

Such an indisputable big alliance, he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, then I'll too." The thief ran away without waiting for Lu Yao's reply, and immediately sent a private message in a hurry, full of brain-dead fans.

……

"Boss, are you stockpiling grain?" I also sent a private message asking about eating sweet potatoes.

"There is no harm in storing some grain, taking advantage of the low price of grain now, so as not to spend more money when the price of grain is high." Lu Yao replied very quickly.

I eat sweet potatoes and thieves run fast, and I have always been eyeing the rest of the counties in Yangzhou that have fallen into the hands of Cangyue and other families. The hermit is in Sili, and it is possible to radiate several surrounding states, and it is difficult to continue further away. He happens to be a supplement.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

……

"Boss, are you stockpiling grain?"

"There is a large population, and it is not possible to store grain, and if there is a food shortage, it will be embarrassing."

"That makes sense, I'll do it too."

……

Shenxiao Jian and several others also received the news that Lu Yao was wantonly stockpiling grain, and they sent private messages to ask for confirmation. When they got a definite answer, several people also followed suit.

Now that the grain is cheap, it is nothing more than building a few more granaries and spending some resources, which is simple.

When the hermit and others stockpiled food one after another, it immediately attracted countless followers.

The Mutual Aid Alliance is the largest alliance in China. The Huaxia Alliance is the second largest alliance in Huaxia and the first alliance in the actual sense. I eat sweet potatoes and several other people's alliances are also ranked in the top ten. People have a herd mentality. Yo, so many big alliances have started to stock up on food, so don't hurry up and keep up.

So countless players immediately followed the trend and began to stock up on food. The iron-blooded overlord and the others took a look, ouch, so many people stockpiled food? Think tanks don't even need to analyze, saying that they follow the trend, and they definitely have to follow the trend. How could you miss such a good opportunity to speculate on food prices.

The amount of grain and grass on the market is rapidly decreasing. Auction houses, chambers of commerce and other channels can hardly see the goods. Under the covert promotion of all parties, the excess grain and grass was quickly digested. Food prices have also begun to rise steadily, basically one price a day.

The harvest season has turned into a poor harvest season.

The players looked confused. The veteran players who had experienced the first food frying turmoil since the launch of the server had strange expressions and refused to participate in it. That time, I don't know how many bitter pick-up heroes retreated in anger, and then had to return.

With high profits, someone will be blinded.

Stir-fried grain quickly became popular. The various families are happy. In this industry, we are professional. The last time I made a big profit, I still made less. Now it's time for those fat sheep to pick up a handful of wool.

As a result, the price of grain rose rapidly, from one price a day to one price for half a day, then to one price for two hours, and finally to one price for one hour. Don't say it, you can't buy it yet.

The huge benefits in the price of food have made many players excited. When the first player with the mentality of not losing much tried to sell the hoarded grain and grass and made a huge amount of money, the other players were also tempted.

People can make money, why can't we make it?

So the second, the third...... More players began to sell hoarded grain and grass for profit, triggering a wave of grain sales frenzy, which greatly reduced the hot food price.

"Sell it! Sell it! ”

They hid behind the scenes and snickered and took the opportunity to buy in a big way. The wool comes out of the sheep, and it can't be lost. Now I buy high-priced grain, and when I attract a wave of pick-up heroes later, I will make a lot of money.

With the huge funds of the various families, food prices quickly stabilized and then rose again. As a result, more players were attracted to sell food, and then the price of food went down again, and then it went up again. All of a sudden, food prices have unwittingly risen to a new peak.

At this time, each family took action, released grain and grass in batches, and returned funds without much change in grain prices. And the fat sheep who have been demonically obstructed...... No, the pick-up man...... No, it's the "extremely smart" bulk buy-in of idle players. Then the families got out and hid behind the scenes and snickered.

The pick-ups were soon horrified. They found that the grain sold in auction houses, chambers of commerce, and so on was accumulating.

It's messed up, it's all messed up.

Food prices plummeted immediately. Countless pick-up heroes cried and shouted, watching their wealth shrink sharply in the plummeting food prices, and they couldn't wait to chop their hands in the first place.

Lu Yao learned the news and silently sent a private message to the hermit and others.

This pot, we will definitely not carry it.
