If the position is not opened, the price of food will rise.

However, contrary to the expectations of the grain merchants, this time the price of grain rose very slowly, and it only took a month to rise from 20 wen to 25 wen per bucket, still under the condition that all the merchants worked together to cover the grain and refuse to sell.

The reason for this is that the people are worried about the rise in grain, so they start hoarding grain mode when the official price is 20 wen.

However, everyone is still confident, after all, there are more people and less food, and the whole country will have to spend a long winter and spring before it can usher in the summer harvest of grain.

There are many patriots, and there are many mouths to eat, and it is impossible to rely entirely on relief. For most of the year, it should be a good season for grain merchants to rejoice.

In a blink of an eye, it is almost the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

The New Year is here, and the New Year is not far away. At this time, people must start to purchase New Year's goods, chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep can not be in shortage, as the basis of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, food can not be less.

The grain merchants are full of spirits, waiting for the grain to rise - even if there is no shortage of grain in previous years, it will rise a little at this time.

But just two days before the child, the royal court suddenly announced:

A large amount of new grain from the country has been put into storage, and the regular closing position has been opened again, and the price is set at 15 cents per bucket, and there is no limit to purchase!

When the news came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

The civilians couldn't close their mouths with laughter, and the food in the year of the catastrophe not only did not grow wildly but also dropped back to its original price.

The grain merchants received the bad news, but it was like five thunderbolts, and the last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

The blows of price reductions have been repeated again and again, and a large amount of grain stored in the warehouse has become iron, and it is impossible to exchange life and death for money!

Who would have thought that the defense of the country would be able to import a large amount of grain from the former rival Yu Guo!

Some people don't believe in evil and have to wait and see if they are in debt.

This waits from the first day of the first month to the second day of February to "raise the dragon's head".

Chang Ping is still supplying grain, and no one can see the slightest sign of exhaustion.

In recent years, the country has also had good weather and good weather, and there is no shortage of money and food. But how much food it supported Weiguo and what price it paid for it, only a few people, including Xiao Mi and Queen Xuanping, knew in their hearts.

The coldest time has passed, and in February, countless businesses have closed down.

Creditors came in droves, about to step on the threshold, and the banker, who had received 200,000 taels of silver from Hu Li, regretted not listening to Qing Lebo's words.

The sky fell, the head of the family threw himself into the house, and the body was found for the first time.

In the huge Shengyi, there are more than 700 people who have hung beams, jumped into the river, and taken poison, and there are more than three or five times as many missing.

Across the country, the number is even greater. Countless families have been ruined and people have died.

At this time, the national warehouse began to collect grain from the grain bank, and the price was also fair, 20 wen per bucket, requiring high quality.

The grain merchants, who had been chased by creditors and had no way out, were trying to raise money by all means, but they could not sell the grain in their hands. Although the price given by the national warehouse is low, it is five wen higher than the market price, and at this time I have to cut the meat painfully.

Even if some merchants are sober-minded and see that the regular closing of positions is also at the end of the crossbow, it is useless. The grain market is bleak, and the price just can't go up.

The money in everyone's hands was all thrown out as early as the previous rounds of price cuts, and even the borrowed money was put in it, so how could there be any spare energy to copy the bottom again?

Because of the large number of repurchases, the positions were refilled, and the price of grain slowly rose to 20 wen per bucket after the month.

So far, the food supply has been stable.

The food price turmoil that has been raging for months has finally stopped.

Those families and merchants with strong roots have benefited from the many industries under their names, and they will not lose their fortunes like the Zhuang family, but they will also be greatly damaged, and they will no longer dare to speculate on grain prices easily.

Even the grain stores and merchants that have not yet closed down have seen clearly the state's determination and skill in leveling prices through this difficulty, and they will not dare to raise prices in the next few years.

Xiao Mi's knives were so ruthless that he didn't know how many lives he had cut off.

This is not to be said later.

The flood receded, the grain was replanted in time, the grain price problem was properly solved, and the royal court was once again in harmony. The courtiers wrote more flattering and praising words, and the king was happy.

Youguo was able to transport grain in time, naturally thanks to Queen Xuanping, Xiao Mi went to her more often, and the couple got along well.

Food is the lifeblood of every country. At a critical time, Yu Guo stepped in to renew his life for the defense of the country, of course, it was not selfless. The two sides have also made a lot of agreements, and the defense of the country will be slowly reciprocated in the future.

The importance of Queen Xuanping is becoming more and more prominent.

At this time, she was eight months pregnant, and her belly was very big, Xiao Mi put her ear to her lower abdomen and listened for a long time, and her face changed: "Moved, moved!"

"I've moved a few times. In a little more than a month, you will be a dad. Xuan Ping rubbed his waist, "By the way, the concubine and brother Wang replied, praising you for leveling the price this time, predicting the enemy's opportunity, cutting off the enemy's rear road, and also fighting a big victory." ”

Xiao Mi smiled and said nothing.

The strategy was discussed and formulated by him and Yan Shichu together. Now Yan Shichu has gone outside again, the reason is vague, but the plan is still meticulously implemented, and the effect is amazing.

That kid obviously had a talent for governing the world, but he wanted to run around, and he couldn't settle down, and he didn't want to serve David.

Xiao Mi sighed wistfully.

Today's batch of books, there is a sentence that is particularly conspicuous when the official writes the book:

Giant businessmen are chaotic and shake the people's foundation, and they must be guarded against.

Of course, this official started from the thrilling grain war of defending the country, and quoted from several large grain merchants, and did not specifically mention Qinglebo.

In the whole world, the only force that can compete with the power may be money, right?

But he thought, Yan Shichu wouldn't be.

￥￥￥￥￥

The wind is biting high in the sky, whether it's January or not.

Yan Saburo sat on the back of the giant eagle, including the bookbox behind him, wrapped tightly all over his body, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Although he has cultivation, he has never been strong, he adds clothes when he should add clothes, and only wears thin shirts when he should be bare-chested.

The eagle flies over the mountains, and the world is black and white.

Black rock, white snow.

"It's here!" Chitose's voice rang in his ears, and he looked down to see a huge circular valley surrounded by mountains.

Is this the destination?

The boy patted the eagle's head, and the old black circled and slowly lowered his height.

Approaching the ground, I found that some plants in the jungle braved the cold of early spring, and tentatively hung scattered greenery on the branches.

Although it was only a few o'clock in the stars, it made people's hearts warm slightly.

After the cold winter, everything will be better.

The giant eagle landed in the wilderness, shook its neck, and tossed the frost off its feathers.

Yan Saburo went to the ground, grabbed a few pieces of raw wild boar from the storage ring and threw them over, each weighing four or five catties.

Lao Hei stretched out his beak to catch it, and swallowed it even with the belt bone.

For a giant bird of prey like it, this little bit of raw meat is just an appetizer to slow down hunger.
