Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 222;
Because of the emergence of wheat and flour, the food crisis that had plagued the court and the capital had been completely resolved.

Those aristocratic families who hoarded food, saw that the court had invested so much wheat and flour, and even taught them how to cook.

They all understood that this time their calculations were completely in vain, and it was really a steal.

On the second day after wheat flour came out, all the big families opened warehouses to release grain.

It's just that they still hold the last fantasy and want to sell at the original purchase price.

At the beginning, they purchased grain quickly and vigorously. In the early stage, they purchased it at almost the original price, and the most expensive one later was more than three times the original price.

Yesterday, the price of grain in the capital was twelve times the original price. As soon as the wheat came out, they had no choice but to stop the loss in time.

The price fell to three times the original price in an instant.

But even so, no one cares about their food tasks.

There is no way, after yesterday's fermentation, now all over the capital, not to mention every household has made steamed buns, but more than [-]% of the people have eaten them.

The taste is good, and I am still very hungry, and the point is that it is so cheap.

You can buy a catty of wheat for four renminbi, and the original price of coarse grains was six or seven renminbi per catty.

Three times that is close to [-] Wen a catty, and the common people are not fools, if they buy a catty of coarse grains, they can buy five catties of wheat.

Except for the wheat specialty store opened by Chaotang in the capital, almost no one cares about other major grain stores.

What if there is no business?
Can only continue to cut prices.

"Is it all reduced to five cents a catty now?"

On Zhuangzi, Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised when she heard Qiushuang's words. She expected that the input of wheat would force those merchants and aristocratic families who hoarded grain to lower the price of grain.

But I never expected it to drop so quickly.

"Yes, I heard that no one has bought them yet."

Qiushuang nodded.

"They deserve it. They hoarded goods in front of them to make black-hearted money, and the common people are not fools."

Listening to Qiu Yu's words, Lu Yaoyao pondered for a while.

"Go and tell Lao Kang to buy food immediately, and use all the money in your hand to buy food except turnover."

"Miss, why do you still want to buy?"

Qiu Yu's eyes widened, and she couldn't figure out what her young lady meant.

Now there is no shortage of grain in their village. They bought wheat before and sold it, and they made a lot of money. Why do they want to buy it now?

"Go ahead, it's too late."

Qiu Shuang quickly responded, although she was a little confused, but the young lady told her that she would do it honestly.

At the same time, Emperor Hongwen also received news of a major price cut in grain in the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

"Old Wen, it's time to take action. This time I will make them pay for their arrogance."

"Your Majesty has already explained it, don't worry."

The two of them knew exactly how much wheat the court had.

To be honest, there have not been too many people who have grown wheat over the years, and the yield is completely incomparable with that of rice.

The reason why they released grain so quickly in the capital on a large scale, to put it bluntly, was to scare the merchants and aristocratic families who hoarded grain.

The input of such a low price of wheat will inevitably attract people to buy wildly, and the market will be temporarily saturated.

And because of the inconspicuousness of Maizi, each family has never paid much attention to it, so they are also vague about how many there are.

Seeing that Chaotang is selling wheat so vigorously, he must be worried that all the hoarded grain will be thrown into his hands, and it is inevitable to open a warehouse.

And the price will still be very low. At this time, they are secretly buying the food they released, and transporting it to the surrounding areas for disaster relief.

In this way, not only has the crisis been resolved this time, but the common people have also learned the benefits of wheat, and Dongzhou has added a kind of edible high-quality grain.

Of course, the most important thing is that he successfully cheated those profiteers and aristocratic families.

"Yaoyao's contribution this time is great. Your Majesty, do you want to give me some rewards?"

Wen Songtao opened his mouth.

Emperor Hongwen smiled, raised his hand and pointed at Wen Songtao and said, "You really put your heart into it, and even took the initiative to please her."

The food problem was solved, and Emperor Hongwen relaxed a lot.

"No way, this girl is the granddaughter of Chen's old brother, so she can be regarded as Chen's junior."

"Don't worry, I won't treat her badly, but now is not the time."

For Lu Yaoyao, Emperor Hongwen was quite satisfied. Looking at her actions these few times, they were all of great benefit to him.

And she is still a daughter, which can save him a lot of worries.

So of course, he will not ignore such a lucky star, on the contrary, he plans to win over and reuse him.

The Dong family in Beijing.

Because of the food matter, it was also affected a lot.

Yesterday, Dong Shuqing came home and told about the failure of seeking to see Lu Yaoyao.

Dong's father didn't blame him, after all, it was really inappropriate for this outsider to ask to see a boudoir woman.

Lu Yaoyao definitely wants to meet. Since Dong Shuqing can't do it, let Dong Shuqing's wife go.

No, early this morning, the people below said that there was something wrong with their food in a town near the capital, and they needed to go and have a look.

The father and son left the capital in a carriage.

In the inner house of Dong's house, Dong Shuqing's wife, Han Yu, rang out what her husband told her last night after she had had breakfast.

The embroidered eyebrows immediately frowned.

She is from the Han family in Hexi, and her husband's family is from the direct line of the Dong family, and her status is very noble.

Her husband actually asked her to condescend to visit a country girl, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Axi, take Madam Ben's post and go outside the city, and ask her to come and see me."

The maid Axi responded respectfully and left the room.

Not long after, a carriage appeared at the gate of the farm outside the city.

"Excuse me, is that noble man in the car?"

The people in the village asked politely.

"I'm from the Dong family's mansion in the capital city. This is a post from my young wife. Our wife wants to see Lu Yaoyao, so let her come out and follow me."

In the carriage, Axi's voice was a little high.

The inquirer in the village frowned, but he still politely took the post, said wait a moment, turned around and trotted into Zhuangzi.

"Young lady of the Dong family?"

"Want to see me? Tell me to hurry over?"

After hearing the report, Lu Yaoyao asked three times.

"Yes, I heard from the people below that the person here is very arrogant, and even told Lu Yaoyao to go out to meet her."

Qiu Shuang was a little amused, the second idiot who came here was too funny.

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao curled her lips, and threw the post aside casually.

"Idiot, go and tell her that the county lord is not available."

Qiushuang backed away.

"What! She dared to disrespect my young lady like this."

"Do you know the identity of my young wife?"

Ah Xi in the carriage was very frightened and angry when he heard the words from outside. He lifted the curtain and stared coldly at Qiushuang standing in front of the carriage.
