Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 283 Five Days, Grain Prices Fall
"Tap!"

On the official road leading to Chang'an, one after another vibrating sounds came, and hundreds of horses galloped. If anyone saw it, they would be stunned.

The reason is very simple, these guys are not the men with huge waists as imagined, but all women's army.

Of course, anyone with a little knowledge 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 arrive in Chang'an?"

A cold voice sounded, and there seemed to be a trace of eagerness in the words.

This person is none other than Princess Pingyang. After receiving Li Shimin's letter, Li Xiuning finished arranging the affairs of Liaodong and rushed back to Chang'an without stopping.

With these personal guards, it can be said that they travel day and night, leaving no time left, and only want to return to Chang'an.

"Princess, there are still about five days away."

Qianlin's voice sounded, and there was a hint of worry in her words, as if she didn't understand why the princess was so anxious.

However, it is also impossible to question her master, so Qianlin kept this matter hidden in her heart.

"Ok!"

The distant scene appeared in Li Xiuning's eyes, and he said absently, 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 stand his temper."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he murmured softly, this matter did not surprise him, Feng An naturally dared not disobey Li Shimin's order.

What's more, selling who is not selling, anyway, for Feng An, the food in Lingnan 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 many people impeached Feng An last time, and this Feng Zhuguo must have been terrified.

After all, Lingnan was nothing in this era, but Feng An knew what would happen if he rebelled.

Of course, in Shu An's eyes, Feng An's best time to rebel was when the Xuanwu Sect changed. Since there was no rebellion at the beginning, naturally it will not happen now.

In fact, there are many records about the Feng family in Lingnan in history, and Feng An also has no idea of ​​rebellion.

"Master, this batch of grain entering Chang'an has attracted a lot of attention."

Laifu spoke beside his master, with a look of admiration on his face, because all this was within his master's expectation.

"Then let's start planning."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said softly, anyway, the loss is the interests of these aristocratic families, so he naturally doesn't care.

What's more, this time Li Shimin was responsible, and he was even more happy. Anyway, Li Shimin has done a lot of blame, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Changan
"What, cheap food?"

"How is this possible? How can these grain merchants lower their prices?"

"Since the last natural disaster in Chang'an, no food has been returned. How can there be cheap food?"

The discussion caused by just a batch of grain is of course not enough, 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 start to panic at this time, obviously a little bit impatient.

On the third day, the same scene happened again, and the food transport team continued to escort in from Chang'an.

And these grain merchants really couldn't sit still, and contacted the relationship behind them one after another, 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 cut prices one by one, or even half a penny per bucket of rice.

You must know that if anyone in Chang'an is the most sensitive to rice prices, then it is naturally these ordinary people.

They are the most aware of the fluctuations in the price of rice every day, but there are some weird expressions on the faces of every commoner today.

"What's going on? The price of rice has dropped?"

"Should I take this opportunity to buy a few more buckets?"

"Wait, don't worry, I heard that Chang'an rice prices will fall again."

The common people couldn't help talking, and there was a hint of joy and some hesitation on their faces.

After all, they are not sure whether the price of rice will continue to fall or rise. If it rises, 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 fell.

This person is none other than the eldest grandson Wuji who is in Duke Zhao's mansion at this time, even he has some fears.

"Fortunately, the teacher reminded me."

Changsun Wuji murmured softly, you must know that his property has stored a lot of rice grain, if it is under the impact of Lingnan grain, it will definitely lose at least half of its value.

Of course, facing this matter, Changsun Wuji also had some hesitation, he was wondering whether to disclose this news.

Finally, after thinking about it, it is better to ask people to invite a few people they know well. After all, the food in Lingnan has not been completely impacted, and it is possible to reduce some losses.

On the fourth day, the rice price in Chang'an fell again, and even returned to the previous Wuwen time in Chang'an.

"Has the grain dropped back to five cents?"

"The conscience of these grain merchants found out?"

"How is this going?"

The sharp drop in food 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 impenetrable wall in the world. In fact, after the news of Changsun Wuji was revealed, it was doomed that this matter could not be hidden.

Of course, even if Changsun Wuji kept it a secret, it was impossible for Shu An to spread the matter.

Wuwen is not the lowest price yet, at least in Shu An's view, there is still room for it to drop, just waiting for the news to spread completely.

And on the fifth day, under Shu An's secret push, the news about Lingnan food had spread throughout Chang'an.

"What? Lingnan food is so cheap?"

"It's only two Wen, which can buy a lot of food."

"It turns out that rice is grown twice a year in Lingnan, no wonder it's so cheap."

All of a sudden, everyone was shocked. You must know that Lingnan is still a bitter cold place in the perception of many people, but they did not expect such a surprise.

This is similar to Li Shimin's expression when he heard about this incident just now, but this is not the end, because there is another piece of news that has been exposed.

"The food from Lingnan has arrived in Chang'an!"

This brief sentence of news became the last straw that crushed these rice merchants, and the grain price in Chang'an suddenly 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.
