Take the supermarket across to the deserted road
Chapter 213 Can Dragon Veins Continue?
Liangqiu City is a big city, more than double the size of Pan City, and has a large population.
However, the impact of the drought here is more serious. The most obvious thing is that the food price is twice as high as that in Pancheng, and there are porridge centers in the four urban areas.
Most of the shops here are open, but there are not many pedestrians on the road.
Looking at the desolate streets, Song Qing couldn't help sighing, "I don't know when this damn drought will end?"
Speaking of the drought, Ning Yuan asked a little puzzled.
"I don't think there is any shortage of water in the mountains, so why does the river stop flowing?"
Before coming here, seeing the river dry up, he thought it was because there was no water on the mountain.
Song Qing lowered his voice, "Let me tell you, this is a court secret. It is said that the master of the Temple of Heaven cut off the dragon veins of our country, that is, the geese cannot pass the mountains."
"Cut the dragon's veins?"
The two glanced at each other, a little suspicious, isn't this a superstition?
"The wild goose but the mountains support two countries, Dazhou to the east and Dayan to the west. Originally relying on the mouth of the sea, the national power of Dazhou is much stronger than that of Dayan.
But once the dragon's veins were cut off and there was no water, Dazhou was full of disaster victims, and there was no grass growing in the land. If it continued like this, Dazhou would be able to destroy the country by itself without the intervention of other countries. "
Song Qing is also worried, but this is not something he can solve, and the emperor will not compromise with Tiandian at all.
It's not that no one persuaded, but the emperor and his elders didn't listen. He said it was urgent, and it was a five-day tour of the prison.
Ning Yuan continued to ask, "Why don't you change the direction of the water flow? For example, digging a river artificially."
"Cousin is fine, you have already thought of this idea." Song Qing's eyes lit up, and his voice lowered, "Let me tell you, His Majesty is indeed secretly carrying out this matter, which is to continue the dragon's veins."
"Can the dragon vein continue?"
Ning Yuan said that he heard a new vocabulary.
Yanyan suddenly thought of the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims who had been relocated outside Jinchuan City.
"Of course it can be continued, but it can't be continued casually. Anyway, it took almost a year for Qin Tianjian to calculate the appropriate point. As for where, then I don't know, it's a secret."
The reason why he knows so much is because he has a father who is a marquis.
It is said that his second uncle knew where that point was, but he didn't ask, because knowing too much would be bad.
"The drought will end if the dragon's veins continue?" Yanyan asked.
Song Qing was not very sure, "It should be like this, even if it doesn't rain, there will be water in the river, as long as the people in Tiandian don't make any more damage."
"The Temple of Heaven is really nothing."
Yanyan couldn't help scolding people, whether it's medicine or drought, it's not something that people can do.
Song Qing nodded immediately, the words had reached his heart, it was not a thing anymore.In order to maintain their authority and kill so many people, it should be struck by lightning.
Yanyan decided that when Ning Yuan's ability recovered, she would go to see who the Heavenly Temple was.
The speed of the car suddenly dropped.
Daniel stepped forward and reported, "Miss, the shop in front is full of people, and the street is also blocked, so I can't get through."
Yanyan opened the curtains and found a shop with three doors on the front right, surrounded by many ordinary people in front of the shop, not only that, but people came continuously.
"This posture looks familiar, go down and have a look."
A few people got out of the car, because there were too many people, Da Niu and his wife stayed beside the children, and Abu held one with each hand to prevent them from getting lost.
At this time, the owner of the shop came out to shout.
"Everyone, don't rob, the Zhao family has enough goods, everyone can buy them."
"Boss Zhao, you won't raise the price, will you?" the people who couldn't squeeze in asked worriedly.
The other party shook his head, "We will definitely not increase the price. We have clearly marked the price. Everyone is welcome to supervise together."
With this promise, the people outside breathed a sigh of relief, the goods are sufficient, and the price has not been raised, so there is nothing to go in that night.
"Boss Zhao, I heard that you can exchange bamboo baskets, boxes and ironware. Is it true?" Someone asked again.
Many people looked over one after another, wanting to know the truth of this statement.
Boss Zhao cleared his throat and shouted, "It can indeed be exchanged. Items made of bamboo, wood, and iron can be exchanged for food, and the price is definitely not lower than the market price."
"So it's really a good thing?"
"However, what do they collect these things for?"
"What do you care about him, go back and get it quickly, what if they don't change it if half of it is exchanged?"
One sentence reminded many people, hula la, more than half of them ran home, and soon surrounded the watertight shops and streets, and the traffic resumed.
Hearing the phrase that everything can be changed, Ning Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
He already knew whose masterpiece it was. The people took the Zhao family for a fool, and they were taken for a fool by Zhao Feiyan.
Yanyan pursed her lips and chuckled, apparently also thinking of the transaction with Zhao Feiyan, the other party looked at them, just like the common people looked at the Zhao family.
"What's the matter?"
Song Qing didn't know why it was so funny to look at the couple.
Ning Yuan didn't explain, but said, "Cousin, don't you want to know what the supermarket sells? Let's go, let's go into the store and have a look."
"Here? Do they also have a membership card?"
"Yes, I met in Pancheng, Zhao Feiyan, the heir of the Zhao family."
Two days ago, Zhao Feiyan used the membership card for the first time to trade. At that time, the other party bought 100,000 taels of goods and was directly upgraded to a senior member.
However, according to the distance, the goods could not be transported back, so Zhao Feiyan returned to Liangqiu.
Also, judging from the wooden boxes and ironware collected by the Zhao family, she should have returned.
"Envy." Song Qing said with a sour tone, and then gave his cousin a sad look.
The corners of Yanyan's mouth twitched. There's nothing envious about that. Besides, didn't I also give you a membership card?
A group of people came to the door of Zhao's shop.
Seeing these people's attire, temperament, and the guards and servants around them, the shop owner greeted them personally.
"What do you gentlemen want to buy?" He let people in while talking.
"The boss's business is booming."
"By your auspicious words, we are a grocery store that specializes in selling food."
"Boss, go get busy, let's take a look." Yanyan sent people away.
Inside the store, there are rows of shelves, just like the shelves in a supermarket.
There are not many types of products, mainly based on large quantities and low prices. Of course, there are also products with small quantities and high prices, but this category is placed on a shelf alone and takes up very little space.
As for the price, it is about 20% higher than the purchase price.
For example, a whole pack of instant noodles, she sells for 17 cash, here sells 20 cash, 3 cash more.It doesn't look like much, but hundreds of thousands or even millions of packs of instant noodles add up to a lot.
Song Qing was curious about everything and had never seen it before, so he asked Yanyan what kind of food it was and how to eat it.
Ning Yuan immediately stepped forward, rushing to introduce to his cousin.
However, the impact of the drought here is more serious. The most obvious thing is that the food price is twice as high as that in Pancheng, and there are porridge centers in the four urban areas.
