Chapter 43 Someone Raises Food Prices?

at dusk,

Liu Feng, who just came back from wandering around the farmland, looked at the familiar carriage at the door, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"My lord, Mrs. Zhen is here."

After seeing Liu Feng, the overlord cavalry in charge of guarding the gate hurried forward to report.

"Well, I got it."

After waving his hand, Liu Feng went straight to the backyard without looking back.

"Liu Lang."

Zhen's expression, which he hadn't seen for more than a month, remained the same, but there was some sadness on his face.
After meeting, Liu Feng didn't give Liu Feng a chance to play tricks, he frowned and said:

"Food prices have gone up!"

"How much has it increased?"

"Now it's eighty pennies a stone!"

"normal."

Seeing that the increase was not as high as he imagined, Liu Feng heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"We have been harvesting, and the price of grain will definitely rise. As long as it does not break through one hundred pennies, we will continue to harvest."

"But."

After hesitating for a moment, the beautiful woman nestled in Liu Feng's arms said softly:

"According to the information received by someone, the Yuan family in Runan, the Cao family in Chenliu, the Sun family in Jiangdong, as well as the Mi family, Wei family and Wu family have all started to purchase grain to varying degrees."

"So lively?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Liu Feng said strangely:
"The autumn harvest is coming soon, let's just harvest it, why are they here to join in the fun?"

"Liu Lang, I suspect that they want to drive up the price of food!"

"Gouging up food prices?"

Seeing Liu Feng's puzzled expression, Zhen could not help explaining:
"Because of the dry weather, this year's autumn harvest will definitely reduce the grain production. When they hold the grain in their hands, they will be able to take the opportunity to increase the price."

"Since this is the case, then we cannot stop."

With a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Feng said firmly:
"Continue to collect, as long as the food price does not exceed 150 cash, then all will be collected."

"It's only 50 shi here now, try to harvest 200 million shi of grain before the autumn harvest!"

"200 million stone?"

A wry smile floated on Zhen's face, she shook her head and said:
"Liu Lang, the big families around Wuji have almost harvested all the food in stock. Even if they continue to collect more, others may not necessarily sell it."

"What's more, with so much food and grass collected, how to transport it back is also a problem."

"Shipping back?"

The corner of Liu Feng's mouth twitched, revealing a mysterious smile.

"If you don't need to bring it back, you can ask them to collect it locally, and then find a granary nearby to store it, and don't worry about the rest!"

"???"

Zhen's face was bewildered,
but,

Liu Feng didn't intend to explain anymore, his eyes gradually became evil.

"Beauty, come here this time, have you washed your whites/whites!"

……

Ever since he knew that someone was driving up food prices, especially the Yuan family and the Cao family were also involved, Liu Feng's mood became better day by day.

Without him,

In the coming chaotic world, the usefulness of money can be said to be getting smaller and smaller.

Especially in the middle and late

The price of a stone of grain can even rise to four or five thousand yuan, and it is still at the point where there is no market for the price.

Therefore,
Liu Feng is not afraid of their price increase at all, what is afraid of them is that they will not sell.

As long as you are willing to sell,

Don't say two hundred words, he can accept it even higher.

Anyway,

What he is doing now is also a business without capital.

A little bit of broken bark, old rotten straw, and drying the seawater, what Liu Feng paid was nothing more than a little labor.

The key is,

All the money he earned had to be exchanged for supplies before the troubled times began.

after all,

In the future, it is not certain whether to use five baht or not!

Compared with the heavy five baht coins, Liu Feng still likes the paper notes of later generations!

……

"Liu Lang."

Zhen, who finally found Liu Feng, held the account book in his hand, and said with a worried expression:
"The grain purchased in Chenliu, Pingyuan, Runan and other places already exceeded [-] shi yesterday. If there is no accident, the loss will be huge."

"It's more than [-] stone?"

Looking away from the farmland in front of him, Liu Feng first said a few words to the county officials around him, then turned around and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, you just need to tell me the location of the granary, and there will be a convoy to pick it up in the next two days."

"That's good!"

Relieved, Mrs. Zhen turned her eyes and looked at the farmland behind Liu Feng where the rice ears had just taken shape, and asked in surprise:
"Liu Lang, are all the rice planted here? Is it ready to harvest soon?"

"almost."

Smiling and nodding, Liu Feng looked at the endless rice fields with emotion on his face.

For the more than [-] mu of grain, he has been worrying a lot during this time.

but,

All this is worth it!
More than [-] mu of land,
Even if the yield per mu is only 200 kilograms, nearly [-] million shi of grain can be harvested.

Coupled with the 100 million shi of grain purchased during this period,
Even if a person eats three catties of grain every day, the grain in his hands is enough to feed a hundred thousand troops for two years.

……

After catching the Zhen family who was delivered to the door, Liu Feng, who was satisfied, took Yang Yanqi and two hundred overlord cavalry and set off after a lot of tossing.

His destination this time is Chen Liu.

over there,
The branch of Zhen's Commercial Bank has successfully helped him exchange 1000 taels of gold for [-] shi of grain.

Although the unit price has risen to one hundred pennies per stone, Liu Feng, whose daily income has exceeded 500 taels of gold, said that he wants as much as he has!

"My lord, don't we bring a transport team?"

On the way, Yang Yanqi, who knew the purpose of the trip, looked at Liu Feng in astonishment.

She wondered if the lord had remembered something wrong.

How to transport food without a carriage?
"Don't worry, it's already arranged."

After waving his hand, Liu Feng said indifferently:
"There is no room for food in our family, so I built new grain depots in several hidden places, and let people transport the food there."

"But, is this safe?"

"Don't worry, most people can't find the place you are looking for."

"That's it!"

Nodding her head, Yang Yanqi didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, the lord said it's all right, so it must be all right.

after all,

No matter how you look at it, the protagonist doesn't seem like someone who will suffer!

"This girl, I didn't realize that she is quite curious."

Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Liu Feng glanced at Yang Yanqi beside him, with a helpless expression.

If it wasn't for his own safety, he really didn't want to bring this girl out this time.

because,

What he is going to do this time, the less people know, the better.

but,

In order to prevent any accidents on the road, Liu Feng finally took her with him.

Little life is important!

It doesn't matter if some secrets are exposed because of this,
Anyway,

They were all summoned by the system and would never betray him,

Nothing to worry about!
After comforting himself in this way, Liu Feng instantly let go of many scruples.

then,

When staying at the hotel at night, he broke into Yang Yanqi's room aboveboard.

"Forehead"

Yang Yanqi, who was about to close the door, looked at Liu Feng who walked in carelessly, with a dazed expression on her face.

"My lord, what is this?"

"Oh it's all right!"

Liu Feng, who came directly to the bed and sat down, said with a smirk:
"It's not safe for me to sleep alone, so let's sleep together at night!"

"..."

Seemingly overwhelmed by Liu Feng's natural tone, Yang Yanqi stared blankly at Liu Feng climbing onto the bed, and then...
Start undressing!

……

"Lord!"

"Ok?"

"Would you please stay still?"

"Then how?" Liu Feng directly refused.

"I'm scared if I don't move!"

"But..." Yang Yanqi muttered a little aggrieved:

"I'm scared if you move!"
