After I was reborn, I spoiled Mr. Gao Leng Shizi

Chapter 87 Riot
The matter of raising the price of grain at the grain shop was just as Xia He thought, and in the end, the officials took action.

The government established a price list for all grains, requiring each grain merchant to only sell according to the price on the price list. If anyone was found to drive up the price, all grains would be confiscated once discovered.

It is said that there are policies above and countermeasures below.

On the second day, most of the grain merchants shut down all the like-minded ones, as if they had made an agreement.

With so many grain shops closed all at once, in this sensitive period of lack of mothers, all the officials in the capital, and the common people down to the common people, undoubtedly panicked.

Everyone flocked to the grain shop that was open for business, and the grain prices were all sold according to the official price list.

But in the morning, those grain merchants could no longer bear such a huge loss, and they followed other merchants and closed their doors directly.

When they heard the news, Xia Tingquan and Xia He were sitting in one of the grain shops in Liuheting drinking tea.

Xia Tingquan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the news. "It's time to unite, don't follow the government's wishes."

Xia He shook his head. "The dignity of officials is inviolable."

I'm afraid this is just the beginning.

"Tonight, let everyone move all the food to a safe place." Xia He confessed to Xia Tingquan.

"Why?" Now that all grain merchants are on the united front, they don't need to be afraid of officials anymore.

"Only a few grain shops were closed today, which caused a certain degree of panic among the common people; if all the grain shops were closed tomorrow, riots would inevitably occur," Xia He analyzed.

riot!

Xia Tingquan stared wide-eyed, nonuo authentic. "It's not that serious."

Xia He pursed his lips tightly. "I'm afraid it's more serious than I thought."

Xia Tingquan nodded.

That night, all the food in Liuheting's store was quietly transferred to a safe place.

The next day, before Xia He got up, he was woken up by Xia Tingquan's knock on the door early in the morning.

Xia He opened the door, glanced sleepily at Xia Tingquan at the door, and asked through gritted teeth. "You want to court death, don't you?"

It is an unforgivable crime to come early in the morning to disturb people's dreams.

Xia Tingquan didn't have the time to pay attention to her bad mood, but said excitedly. "If it is true as you said, the common people in the capital rioted before dawn today."

After hearing what he said, Xia He's spirits lifted, and she didn't feel drowsy anymore.

"There's a riot!" Xia He opened the door, turned back to the room to change clothes. "What's the situation now?"

"It is said that all the food stores in Kyoto were surrounded by ordinary people, and the grain stocks in a very small number of food stores were all sold out."

Xia Tingquan sat in the outer room and waited for her, picked up a vermilion fruit she put on the table and ate it.

"Doesn't the government care about it?" Xia He came out of the inner room after changing clothes, sat down by the bronze mirror, and directly changed Cui Liu to comb her hair.

"At first, I guess it was to make the common people make trouble, and to kill the spirit of the grain merchants. But later, when they wanted to control, the situation was out of their control." Xia Tingquan sneered disdainfully.

Xia He frowned tightly. "Then what about the grain store under the name of our Liuheting?"

"Several houses were indeed knocked away by them, but we transferred food and personnel quickly enough last night, indicating that the impact is not great."

"As long as the food is not robbed and there are no casualties, that is luck." Xia He felt sad.

"It's a good thing that you predict things like a god." Xia Tingquan said.

"It's not like predicting things like a god, the development of many things is just within reason."

After washing up, the two went directly to the Nuan Pavilion to eat some porridge and side dishes, and then went out.

Xia He sat in the carriage, raised the curtain to look out, and saw that the road had become extremely deserted.

Occasionally passing some grain shops, it can be seen that they have been looted, and there are still a few injured boys at some doorways.

"Basically, no one is spared." Xia Tingquan squeezed his hands creakingly.

"Now, those who didn't get the food panicked even more," Xia He said.

"It may cause headaches for the government." Xia Tingquan wished that the officials would be too busy.

"It's just that this natural disaster has hurt the people." Xia He sighed.

Looking at the heavy snowfall outside the car, Xia He couldn't help but knit his brows tightly together.

The two went to Liuhe Court to meet Hu Lao, as if he knew the current situation of Liuhe Court and knew that no one was injured in the grain store, they were all relieved.

As for the damaged places in the grain store, Mr. Hu also counted them, and both Xia He and Xia Tingquan felt that they were better than expected.

Xia He held the hot tea in his hand, looked around, and said to Hu Lao. "Let's let the matter of the grain store go until the officials come up with a specific solution suitable for the grain merchants and the common people."

"Yes, Miss." Knowing that she still had something to say, Mr. Hu was not in a hurry, and continued to make the court hearing.

"Old Hu, your next focus will be on the medicine shop in Liuhe Court." Xia He pointed to Cui Liu who was guarding the door. "She has been studying medicine with me for a while, and in the past half a month, I have also focused on teaching her some prevention and treatment methods for wind-cold infection and the refining of elixir."

Hu Lao was surprised. "Miss can also refine pills!"

"I know a little bit."

Xia He made a change outside the door. "Green Willow."

Cui Liu raised a smiling face outside the door. "Here it is, miss."

When she came in, Xia He said. "Cui Liu, come to meet Tiger Elder."

"Yes." Hearing the "see you" in her words, Cui Liu understood that Miss meant for her to salute respectfully.

Cui Liu immediately went to the old tiger and bowed respectfully and blessed him. "Cui Liu met the old tiger."

"Don't dare, dare not." Hu Lao avoided Cui Liu's gift.

Hu Lao is also very clear in his heart, and the young lady can introduce him to him in such a serious manner, but I think this girl holds a very heavy weight in the young lady's heart.

Xia He. "Old Tiger, to tell you the truth, this year's weather is so cold, I'm unavoidably worried that someone might catch the cold."

tiger old. "In such a cold day, if someone is infected with the wind chill, it is inevitable."

"Nowadays, many food stores have been snapped up. I don't know when this snow will be big. Under such circumstances, I inevitably worry about whether there will be a famine." Xia He deduced. "If there is a famine, will all the people around the capital gather here? If one person catches the cold, one by one will spread the news..."

Xia He spoke so plainly, if it were an ordinary person, she might not be able to understand her logic.

But, it was Lao Hu who heard about it.

Based on the experience he accumulated in his early years, he quickly understood the importance of this matter.

"Miss' worries are not unreasonable." Hu Lao said with a smile. "What does Miss Yi mean to put a lot of manpower and material resources into the refining of elixir?"

Xia He nodded. "I do."
