Confiscated and exiled?Phew, I emptied the warehouse first

Chapter 234 There is a way

Someone in the crowd echoed: "That's right."

Yan Yi continued:

"In the neighboring counties, crop production has been reduced on a large scale due to drought."

"Under such circumstances, food prices will inevitably rise sharply, but this will result in many people unable to afford food."

"At this time, the government stepped in, opened warehouses to release grain, and at the same time suppressed grain prices, hoping to bring them down."

"But those grain stores and wealthy businessmen hoarded all the grain and closed their doors to thank customers, so the food supply was cut off."

"As a result, the people will no longer be able to afford food."

"Without food, we can only wait for the imperial court to provide relief. However, the imperial court's food supply will not last long, and we are about to run out of food."

"That's why everyone heard that our county is giving out porridge, so a large number of refugees have come to our county."

"Yes or no?"

When Yan Yi was wandering around Shilu County today, he already found out about this matter. This is basically the situation.

Now when he asked, he was also confirming the situation.

Li Xing'an asked disdainfully: "What you said is a situation that everyone knows. Why, can this be considered a solution?"

Yan Yi stood with his hands behind his back, with a plan in mind: "Don't worry, I will tell you the solution right now, but before I tell you..."

Yan Yi raised the notice in his hand: "If the method I mentioned works, what should I do with the 50 taels of silver and ten pieces of cloth mentioned in the notice?"

Li Xing'an laughed angrily.

"It's only 50 taels. I, Li, am here, but you have to be able to get it!"

What you've been waiting for.

Yan Yi's plan succeeded.

He couldn't just lose the money out of anger.

Children make choices.

And he wants to vent his anger and make money!

"The solution is actually very simple, that is for the government of the disaster-stricken county next door to step in and raise food prices."

After Yan Yi finished speaking, there was silence around him.

Let the government step in and raise food prices?

Could it be that Yan Yi is mentally ill?
The price of food has increased, won’t the victims become even less able to afford food?

Li Xing'an burst out laughing: "That's it? Saying there is nothing you can do if you can't help it is really embarrassing for us scholars."

In one sentence, Yan Yi was placed on the opposite side of all scholars.

"How capable do I think you are to raise food prices? Haha, you might as well go directly to the disaster-stricken county and go door-to-door to beg the grain merchants to release grain."

As soon as Li Xingan finished speaking, everyone around him started laughing:
"I'll just say he's just sensationalizing!"

"Why do such people exist? They are really a worm among us scholars."

"By the way, who did he study under? Why haven't I seen him before?"

There were several distinguished people in the crowd who also shook their heads:

"Master Su, look at the scholars today, hey... let's go back, it's a waste of time here." The person who spoke was the county clerk, surnamed Wang.

"Yes, look, I just said that this young man cannot be trusted."

"When we have this time, let's think of other ways."

The person called Su Fuzi was a famous teacher in Shilu County: Su Xipo.

It's not because of how good he is at teaching, but because his students are top-notch teachers and have everything.

He firmly believes that there is no difference in education.

Of course, his unusual approach was looked down upon by other teachers.

But no one dared to provoke him, after all, Su Xipo's knowledge was there.Master Su also looked casual. He crossed his arms and said, "No hurry, no hurry, just wait."

"You... hey..."

Master Wang shook his head again.

Su Xipo looked at Yan Yi playfully.

This young man, facing so many people, is still fearless in the face of danger. Well, he has the same demeanor as he did back then.

Others only see the surface of Yan Yi, but Su Xipo believes that Yan Yi definitely has a way.

Just through his calm and calm demeanor, and his demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant, Su Xipo felt that Yan Yiding was not a sensationalist.

Yan Yi's lips curved slightly into a mocking arc, and his words were also extremely mocking:
"You don't understand. It can only be said that you are stupid, not that the method is not good. With this little IQ, you still have the nerve to call yourself a scholar. It is really embarrassing for scholars!"

Even though the Clay Bodhisattva has three parts of fire nature, Yan Yi would not look good on them, let alone being blocked by these people and making comments.

Everyone did not expect that at this time, Yan Yi would still speak harshly.

Even the scholars were mocked.

Just when everyone was about to use their magical power to drown Yan Yi with their spit, Yan Yi had already picked up a branch from the ground and started to draw it:

"Keep your eyes open and watch. I will only tell you once. If anyone doesn't understand...hehe..."

Yan Yi was still laughing at the crowd.

But everyone was attracted by the movements of his hands.

I want to see what he can say.

Yan Yi made a few strokes and drew a large square on the ground.

"We now use this square to represent the families in the neighboring counties who have food."

Yan Yi moved a little further away and drew two small squares next to the big square.

"This small square represents the small merchants who secretly sell grain at high prices; the other square represents the grain in the hands of the government."

Yan Yi drew a horizontal line under the three squares again, asking questions while drawing.

"This line of maintaining balance refers to the government. Guess what will happen if the government steps up to raise food prices?"

Everyone was also caught up in the rhythm by Yan Yi's talking and asking questions.

Someone has already said: "The price of food will only get higher and higher."

"Oh?" Yan Yi nodded, "That's right, but what about when the price gets higher and higher?"

He pointed at one of the small squares with a branch: "Will there be more small merchants who have grain in stock and sell the grain?"

He said, and drew another small square.

"This square represents the small merchants who will provide food after the price increases."

"You said, what if the price reaches a certain level, for example, if the price of corn reaches tens of cents per catty, what will happen?"

"When wealthy households and grain merchants in other counties hear the news, will they rush to transport grain to the disaster-stricken counties to sell in order to make a big profit?"

Yan Yi looked at Li Xing'an: "You think so, Mr. Li? If you open a restaurant like Mr. Li's family and have other businesses at home, you must have a lot of food. Do you want to take the opportunity to make a fortune?"

"No matter what, your family will load the grain into trucks overnight and transport it to the disaster-stricken counties to sell."

Li Xing'an's face alternated between blue and white. This damn Yan Yi, he helped him out of kindness, but he repaid his favor with a grudge, exposing himself to the public's eyes and humiliating him!

The people around him looked at him a little strangely.

He was a scholar, farmer, and merchant. He was originally the son of a merchant. No matter how rich his family was, he was essentially at the bottom.

Normally, everyone fawns over him because his family is rich, but when it comes to the matter, the disdain in everyone's eyes is still obvious.

After all, everyone knows that businessmen pursue profit.

He has made this mistake!
Li Xing'an smiled but said: "That's nonsense. How can our family make such a fortune from a national crisis? If we want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, our family will not give out porridge."
