Chapter 499 Calm down (seeking tickets)
"Impossible, 70 shi of rice, the entire Tang Dynasty doesn't have that much in total, and the south is a barren land, where can there be such a country." Cui Sheng's face was grim, but his eyes were full of panic, and he no longer looked at him in the past. arrogant.

"The imperial court invited the most respectable people in the city to check on the boat. It is indeed the best rice." Liu Yi said in a hoarse voice.

"Even if the rice is real, it doesn't mean that we can buy so much grain in the future. As much grain as a small country can have, these must be all. When the rice is sold out, those untouchables will still buy our grain. We haven't lost yet." Cui Sheng said incoherently.

Liu Yi looked at him without saying a word, but there was no awe in his expression, and he was just an ordinary person without the skin of Boling Cui.

Regardless of whether the imperial court can get more food later, the 70 shi will be enough.In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that there is enough grain in Guanzhong right now, and even if there is no harvest this year and tightening their belts, they can still eat until next year's summer grain is ripe.

The so-called food shortage is just a "psychological food shortage" caused by panic. Once the imperial court can quell the panic, the food shortage will no longer exist.

These 70 shi of rice and a country rich in rice that no one has heard of are tranquilizers.

Moreover, even if people sell all the food to Datang, there is no way to raise 70 shi for a while.But people have not suffered a disaster, and they can be planted at any time.There are three crops a year, and it is not impossible to reap one or two crops after calculating the time.

At that time, there will be another batch of food, which can always support the people to survive the disaster year.

Therefore, when the hundred grain ships docked by the Weishui River, it had already been announced that the family's trick of manipulating grain prices had failed.

With so much investment in the early stage, failure means injury, and some weak foundations may even cut their flesh.

Cui Sheng is finished, Liu Yi knows the result very well, what he has to do now is to find a way to keep himself.

At this moment, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, many people have come outside and said they want to see you."

"No, no, just say I'm not here. A bunch of bastards, they come to curry favor with me one by one when it's beneficial, but now when they encounter difficulties..." Cui Sheng said angrily.

"However, there are people from my family." The servant couldn't help interrupting him.

In an instant, Cui Sheng's face turned pale.

The imperial court purchased 70 shi of rice from a small country in the far south, and there is still a steady stream of rice being transported to Datang. This news was quickly confirmed and spread throughout Guanzhong.

The panic-stricken people were initially shocked, but there were still some doubts.But when I saw a big boat and a vehicle pulling rice coming in front of me, I finally believed it.

Just when everyone wanted to buy some more grain and hoard it, there was a news that there was more than one effect of grain production, and Datang could buy rice at any time.

Even if there is no grain harvest in Guanzhong for three years, it can guarantee that there will be no food shortage in food supply.Moreover, the imperial court would like to guarantee that as long as the disaster does not end, the price of food will always remain at the price of five cents a bucket, so please put your heart into it.

If it were changed to before the locust disaster, the common people might still have doubts, but after a series of operations before, the credibility of the court has been very high, and they are willing to believe in the guarantee of the court.

Many people who have food at home have calmed down, why don't they buy it first?
The upsurge of grabbing grain subsided in an instant, and the 70 shi of grain bought by the court did not sell much, and most of it was filled into the newly vacated reserve warehouse.

After the craze for grabbing grain subsided, the price of grain in the entire market fell precipitously, from [-] yuan per bucket of rice to [-] yuan, then to [-] yuan, and then to [-] yuan.There is no longer any sales restriction, and the door is open for business, and you can sell as much as you want.

It's a pity that with the ultra-low price of five cents a bucket from the imperial court, no one is willing to be a fool to buy high-priced grain at twenty cents a bucket.

These grain stores are also faced with a choice, either continue to cut prices, or hope for a second grain shortage.

Twenty coins is already their purchase price, if you buy it below this price, you will lose money.

If it was three to five hundred shi or even three to five thousand shi, they would have gritted their teeth and bought it at a reduced price, but before they bought nearly 20 shi of grain from the imperial warehouse at a price of twenty cents a dou.

If this is sold at a reduced price, the bottom line will be lost.Although these costs were paid by dozens of family projects, on average, they were enough to hurt their muscles and bones.

"Turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain, Yue Hou is clever in his methods, I admire him." Yuwen Shi and the rare ones took the initiative to talk to Yue Shan.

"Duke Ying praised it a lot, it's all under the command of the sage." Yue Shan responded with a smile.

He is not disgusted with Yuwen Shi, but he doesn't have a good impression either, the reason is Princess Nanyang.There are many outstanding women in Chinese history, but not many can be remembered by history. Princess Nanyang is one of them.

She is the daughter of Yang Guang who married Yuwen Shiji at the age of 14. She is virtuous, intelligent and filial to her parents-in-law.

Later, Yu Wenhua and the rebellion almost slaughtered all the men of the Yang family, and the hatred was like a sea, but she still didn't mention revenge for Yuwen Shiji's sake.

As a result, Yu Wenshi and himself had a problem. When Dou Jiande destroyed Yu Wenhuaji, he abandoned his wife and son to join Li Yuan, which was the last sliver of affection.

Princess Nanyang was captured by Dou Jiande, but she behaved neither humble nor overbearing, which won the respect of Dou Jiande's monarch and ministers.

When Dou Jiande liquidated Yuwen Clan, she and Yuwen Shiji's son Yuwen Zen Master were also included in the liquidation.But Dou Jiande respected her and said to spare his life for your sake.

Princess Nanyang refused, saying that she and the Yuwen family had such a deep hatred that they could not kill all the members of the Yuwen family. Zen Master Yuwen is also a descendant of the Yuwen family. Since he has enjoyed the benefits brought by the Yuwen family, he has to bear the consequences.

So Dou Jiande also killed Chan Master Yuwen, and soon she also became a monk.

Later, when Li Shimin destroyed Dou Jiande, she and Yu Wenshiji met again, and Yuwen Shiji still licked his face and begged for reunion, but she gave up the idea by forcing him to die.

Yue Shan naturally admired Princess Nanyang's sentiments, so it was difficult to like Yuwen Shiji, even if he knew that this person was actually quite good, he couldn't help it.So we haven't had much contact.

The Yuwen scholars and the direct descendants of the Yuwen clan, one of the four great clans, naturally have their own pride, and they don't really want to deal with people with mud legs like Yue Shan.

So the relationship between the two is very ordinary. This time, it is estimated that Yue Shan's calculations are so deep, so he can't help but want to build a good relationship.

Yuwen Shiji was not stupid either, seeing Yue Shan's attitude was lukewarm and he knew that the other person didn't mean to have a deep friendship, so he didn't put his hot face on other people's cold buttocks, and walked away after chatting for a few words.

The other people present also saw that there seemed to be something wrong between the two, but they all just watched with cold eyes, and no one stood up to speak.

Not long after, Li Shimin appeared, and a small meeting began.

　Unknowingly, there are five hundred chapters, wow, I admire myself.Ha ha……

　　By the way, please count the votes.
