Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 128 The situation suddenly became strange
Outside Luoyang City, the government already had a porridge shed built and distributed porridge according to the amount every day, but today the people were changed.

The prince-in-law and Princess Runan were in charge of giving porridge!

But now, their identities are irrelevant to the victims outside. As long as they can survive, they can kneel down and kowtow.

Outside Luoyang City, at least tens of thousands of people were affected by the disaster. This is still a big city in Henan, let alone other places.

Lin Heng smiled and asked Li Ningxi: "Why didn't Changle come to join in the fun today? Are you angry?"

Li Ningxi shook her head slightly: "After returning from the banquet yesterday, Changle kept scolding Lin Langjun and so on. Today he asked her to come out with him, but she was unwilling to follow."

Lin Heng nodded: "Everyone in my family has been deceived. It seems that the effect is very good. Have you read my brochure?"

Li Ningxi rolled her eyes, leaned closer and asked, "Are Mr. Lin deceiving those people?"

"Whatever you say, this is my job. Besides deceiving you, who else can I deceive?"

Li Ningxi lightly punched Lin Heng and said, "Did you intentionally leave the booklet that day?"

Lin Heng said with emotion: "Fortunately you saw it, otherwise you would have been the one who avoided scolding me today."

"Will Chang'an have any countermeasures?"

Lin Heng nodded: "It's only for the past two days. Let's hold on for a while and catch them off guard."

After saying that, he added: "Over at Changle, you don't have to worry about her. I don't want to take her with me because she's too stupid. Just don't let her run wild."

Li Ningxi smiled and said, "If Changle hears this, I'm afraid he will have to scold you again."

……

At the governor's house, a group of officials gathered to discuss matters related to Lin Heng.

"Who does Governor Li think Lin Heng is?"

Li Zhen said with a smile: "I'm just a mediocre person. At this time, I want to solve the problem by giving out porridge and food. When the money and food are exhausted, Your Majesty will have nothing to do. Lin Heng must be to blame. He will not be killed by then." , will be exiled too!”

Everyone laughed when they heard this. After all, they had seen Lin Heng's appearance at the banquet yesterday. He was just a farmhouse man, with no dignity at all and a submissive person. I really don't know how such a person became the prince-in-law.

"Is he really the one who sent the Turks as envoy? Will the Turks really hand over the Hexi Corridor so easily?"

One person said: "It's probably because Si Yehu from the Turks was afraid of His Majesty's momentum and was taken advantage of by Lin Heng. It's not a big deal."

The transshipment envoy Zhao Duan suddenly said: "There is one thing. Your Majesty has opened the official route to merchants. Several ships entered Luoyang today, and they seem to be from aristocratic families."

Li Zhen said doubtfully: "I've heard about this. I guess His Majesty wants to sell the land and grain there to the locals. How much is it?"

"One hundred thousand stones."

Li Zhen thought for a moment, one hundred thousand stones, this amount is not small.

"what price?"

"It's only [-]% cheaper than what's on the market, and it's the same price as usual."

"It's all taken!"

The price of food cannot be so low. Once it is low, no one will come to buy food from them. Wouldn't this be a loss for them?

30 guan is not a small amount, but it still has to be collected in order to stabilize the high food prices.

On the family side, Lu Siqi personally escorted the grain and fodder fleet, and the fleet that sold the grain took the official route. This was the first time he did this.

Not to mention, it feels really different.

Hearing that Lin Heng was also in Luoyang, Lu Siqi didn't pay much attention. He was selling grain on behalf of the Lu family. Although he had Lin Heng's intention, it was mainly to make money.

As for Lin Heng, Lu Siqi would not like him just because he made her money. After all, this person had ruined his face for many times.

As soon as they arrived in Luoyang to unload the grain, someone found Lu Siqi.

"Are you selling this grain?"

Lu Siqi twitched his lips: "You think I'm being used as firewood? What do you do?" He came up and asked directly without saying a word, which made Lu Siqi very unhappy.

The person in charge looked at the grain and then at Lu Siqi: "How much does the grain cost?"

Lu Siqi thought for a moment and followed Cui Hong's statement. After all, it was more stable.

"Constantly five."

"I want it all."

Lu Siqi was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "This brother is really generous. I have [-] dan of food, are you kidding me?"

The steward waved his hand, and a servant came behind him with a cash box.

"I want it all."

"it is good!"

Lu Siqi was overjoyed. These grains were all grown by his own family. When they were harvested, they cost only fifty cents per stone. Now they are worth thirty times more!
Make big!
In just one day, Lu Siqi earned 30 guan. Excluding costs and business taxes, the profit was about 25 guan.

Wonderful!
Without saying a word, Lu Siqi hurried back to Chang'an with the money. He still had hundreds of thousands of dan of food like this at home.

Cui Hong said that there are not many opportunities to make big money like this.

On the way back, the Lu family's convoy also saw the convoys of other aristocratic families. When the other party asked, 25 stones of grain had earned [-] guan, and everyone was dumbfounded.

I knew I could make a lot of money, but I didn’t expect that it would be almost crazy!
"Drive faster, drive faster!"

“First come, first served earns money!”

As the aristocratic families in Chang'an began to transport grain here, and after Lu Siqi's return, the court not only did not blame him, but also rewarded him, some local grain merchants also began to transport grain to the north.

Some people mobilized by Fang Xuanling also lost sight of their concerns and began to take action for profit.

This so-called 'collusion between government and businessmen' has just begun. The first group to arrive are often the ones who make the most money.

A few days later, in the governor's mansion.

Zhao Duan was quite strange: "Li Shishi, more and more grains are coming from Chang'an, and small batches of grains are also being shipped here from Jiangnan."

"How much food do you have now?"

"We have about 100 million dan at our disposal, but we spent a lot of money to buy their food."

"And once we stop collecting their food, they will sell it directly locally at low prices."

"And some landlords and merchants in Luoyang have begun to sell grain at prices lower than the market price..."

Li Zhen frowned and said, "How much is the price of food now?"

"It's already reached consistent seven."

Li Zhen's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He seemed to have noticed something. In just a few days, the price of food had gone from two to seven.

Someone is manipulating food prices behind the scenes!
"Continue to collect, I don't believe how much food the family still has now, and we must not let them lower the price of food behind them!"

"Send someone to warn those who sell grain in Luoyang City. If you don't want to die, just restrain yourself!"

Zhao Duan left, and Li Zhen looked a little dazed.

Something is wrong. The price of food was obviously high a few days ago. Why are people from these aristocratic families transporting food here like crazy?

Making money is one thing, but the key is that you are not afraid of death?
Selling grain at this time, although it is lower than the market price, is still high-priced grain. Your Majesty is just looking at you and condoning you selling it?
A figure suddenly flashed in his mind, it was Lin Heng who was currently serving porridge outside Luoyang City. After thinking for a moment, Li Zhen directly denied the idea.

It is impossible for such a person to come up with such a method.

Relieving disasters by lowering food prices seems easy, but in fact the food and transportation required are extremely demanding, since it was thought up by someone in the DPRK.

No, I have to ask Changsun Wuji
