Traveling through the money-making life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 700 Contracting Yexiang in the Whole Town

Compared with the original, Yongle Street has undergone earth-shaking changes. The once empty Yongle Street actually had people walking around in the morning.

The street was clean and there was no trace of Yexiang long ago. Several people found Yipinju which has now turned into a pharmacy.

In order to save money, the person who took over the store didn't even change the name and signboard. Passing by a rice shop, Chen Rou found that there were many more people queuing up.

After asking, I found out that the price of rice had risen again.

"Hey, what's the matter? If this continues, everyone will starve to death."

The price of rice is set at one price per day, which was acceptable at the beginning, but was unbearable later on.

"Actually, we all know that those people in the town have food in their homes, but...but they just don't take it out."

A man in line said to someone in front of him who was also in line.

"There are merchants and Li's family. Now many people go to eat for the sky, saying that the rice there is full."

Chen Rou, who was eavesdropping on the side, felt that the rise in rice prices was monopolistic and manipulated.

Even if the harvest was not good last year, the scope of the cold wave should be limited, and it is impossible that there is no grain in the granary. Why did the court ignore it?
"Rou Rou, it's almost time, let's go."

Seeing that Chen Rou hadn't moved, Zhou Xiaojiu turned back. Shen Zhuo was always beside Chen Rou, seeing that she was still watching the people in line, so she said softly to Chen Rou.

"The price of rice in Shenshui Town was not raised by the merchants. The merchants did not participate in the ceremony. The prices of the merchants were normal at first, but later they were bought by several other landlords who released the rice, and then sold it again because of this incident. Merchants closed their rice stores."

"It's okay, these people are too much."

It was the first time for Chen Rou to hear Shen Zhuo talking about the town, and it was about the merchants. Unknowingly, these things were out of touch with her, but Shang Li's temper seemed to be less and less like her. According to Qiao Si He said, didn't he want to drain the last drop of blood from other people?
"Rou'er, let's go!"

Shen Zhuo glanced at Yipinju, which was close at hand, and there seemed to be not many people who came to get the medicine. As soon as Chen Rou entered, she found that there was no one else except the woman pouring Yexiang.

"Shen Zhuo, Chen Rou, you are here."

The woman came up to her, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face. After the matter was settled, Shen Zhuo never showed up again. Even if they were going to send some money years ago, they didn't dare to look for it.

"My son and daughter-in-law went to the village to collect medicinal materials. They are resting today. The money will have to wait for them to come back. It's not too much, so I can only give you a little bit."

"We're not here today to ask for rent, we're here to ask you for something else."

Shen Zhuo nodded, and looked at the person in front of him seriously.

"What do you want?"

"Yexiang, Yexiang of the entire Shenshui Town."

The woman who poured Yexiang had a mouth that was so big that she even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. How could anyone order dung instead of money?

"Do you really want that thing? Are you kidding me, lying to my aunt?"

"No, we really need it, and it's for the whole town. My husband and I planted a lot of land in the village, and we want to use this fertile land." Chen Rou explained.

"Why don't you collect it in the village? There must be enough feces in the village. It's too troublesome to do it like this, and you have to go outside the town."

Chen Rou shook her head, "My man and I are not afraid of trouble, but we are afraid that my aunt will not help."
