I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 252 This is a strange thing
150 texts!I really dare to exaggerate.

Zhao Xi made a special investigation on the grain storage in Changping, which was enough to sell grain at a low price for two months.

Therefore, although the price of food in the market is high, Zhao Xi knows that merchants are also building momentum.

According to the number of Dingkou, the grain is released in the Changping warehouse in the first ten days of each month, and the grain is delivered on a monthly basis.In other words, although the market price of grain is high, there is only a price but no market.

Creating such an atmosphere is nothing more than trying to explain one point: food shortage!

quite effective.

"Your Highness, there are still three days before the Changping warehouse will open. The people who buy rice have already lined up at the Changping warehouse today, day and night."

"There are rumors in the market that there is no more grain in the Changping warehouse for the court to sell grain at a low price."

This is the effect, even the guard battalion is worried about opening food.

It should be said that the entire Bianliang is under the pressure of food shortage, and there are almost no smiling faces in the entire market.

In fact, the guard battalion didn't need to worry about this at all. Just look at the empty houses after the weapons supervisor and craftsmen were moved away, and then look at the barracks where they went out to train troops. There was food everywhere.

The reason for saying this is that many of them are affected by the atmosphere and environment.

Zhao Xi didn't say a word, the guard battalion didn't participate in this, and Zhao Xi didn't want them to worry about it.What is the duty of soldiers, they just need to be themselves.

"Xi'er, what is the current situation?"

In order to stabilize the hearts of his parents, Zhao Xi had to stay in the Ciming Palace for a while these days, and kept repeating the same words.

There is no way, the atmosphere in Bianliang today is really depressing and tense.

"Daddy, Bianliang's grain reserves should be close to one million shi, and about [-] shi of grain is still entering the city every day."

"Since the beginning of the orbital passage, there has been no pause. Since March, the orbital transport of grain has exceeded 200 million shi..."

To tell the truth, Zhao Xi calculated that Bianliang City, with a population of one million, only consumes [-] tons of food a day, which is half a day's transportation volume by rail.

Not to mention that I have already stocked up, as long as the track is running like this, it is completely enough for the food consumption of the entire Bianliang.

Not to mention that the common people also had some food in reserve.

As for the source of food, Annan's side is now nothing more than groups of people harvesting food all over the mountains and plains.

Don't be surprised, Zhao Xi remembers a saying that in later generations, Annan was the world's largest rice exporter until the 80s and [-]s.

What population size is that?How many people are there in Guochao now?So, there is really no crisis, and there can be no crisis.

Everyone's sense of crisis now is only frightened by the momentum created by the merchants.

"Today's price of rice is 150 Wen per bucket...tomorrow it may be even higher. Some people in the court today are accusing Fu Yanguo of harming the country and harming the people..."

Fu Bi was okay, he could hold back, but he still didn't let Zhao Xi make a big move.

Anyway, I should relieve some pressure for him.

"Notice, tomorrow, if the market price of rice is still at [-] Wen, all warehouses will sell [-]% of the reserve at a price of around [-] Wen!"

Isn't it just to build momentum, if you have spare money, just build it, and I will cooperate with you.

"Only sell for [-]%, and when sold out, we will announce that there is no more food left. At the same time, I implore father to order the court to reiterate tomorrow that the Changping warehouse will open on time, and the par price of [-] Wen per bucket will still be used to buy food by ticket!"

Anyone who has confidence in the imperial court will not loot the food here.The [-]% that Zhao Xi sold was aimed at grain merchants, speculators who were planning to make a fortune in a disaster year.

At this stall, Zhao Xi's sticking in like this would really make people confused.

The Changping warehouse is out of grain, and suddenly there are so many more grain sellers, but the quantity is limited, and the court has announced that the Changping warehouse will still release grain on schedule...

There is a lot of information, and it depends on how people choose.

It was really messy!

Early in the morning, there were suddenly a lot of places selling grain, and even the shops that usually sell cakes had a sign that there was surplus grain for sale.

A bucket of words!No kidding!

At first it was to wait and see, and then rushed to tell each other, group after group gathered and discussed.

Buy it or not?
The imperial court's regular warehouses cost fifty cash, while those grain stores yesterday cost one hundred and fifty cash, and today it is one hundred and sixty cash.

It's only a hundred pennies here...but it only takes fifty pennies to close a warehouse!

That's called a tangle.

The members of the guild also heard about it, and wanted to ask people to look for it, but when they went to the shop, no one dared to make trouble.

There is no way, the people who buy food for a hundred pennies a bucket are either relatives of the emperor, or wealthy families, and even the family of the chief executive.

This is not the imperial court, but more representative of the imperial court.

Bitter ass people don't know, but they do.

"Head, they sell grain, we buy grain, pure business transaction, so what if it's the royal relatives? Which one of us doesn't have a foothold?"

It is indeed such a truth!

"Done it, raise funds, and buy them all!"

Then, the entire Bianliang market was full of moving carriages, and big customers kept buying grain from these grain selling points.

"Fu Zun, most of the purchasers of grain are grain merchants, mainly grain guilds."

Listening to the reports from the yamen servants, Wu Kui felt a little relaxed, but tightened up again.

During this period of time, he was always worried about the food in the Changping warehouse.

I didn't expect that beheading the officials of Changping warehouse would actually push up the price of grain.

The only fortunate thing is that so far, not many refugees have come to Kaifeng.

In other words, the opening of the Changping warehouse by the imperial court had a very good effect in the early stage.

Early this morning, someone reported to Kaifeng Mansion that the thieves were disrupting the market and buying and selling food without authorization...

After careful questioning, it turned out that those shops were selling grain... Wu Kui wanted to hang plaques as volunteer merchants on these shops.

Not to mention that they are all hard stubble, even ordinary people, it is impossible for him to deal with merchants because of this.

As a result, it was hoarded by those profiteers.

"Fu Zun, this matter is strange."

"Zizheng, why did you say that?"

Wu Kui thought that the aides were talking about the behavior of profiteers.This is not surprising, it should be said that it is normal.

"Fu Zun, it is obvious that the cakes come from the inner garden. And the cake shops are all run by high-ranking and wealthy families, why are there surplus food for sale at this time?"

"My lord, according to the report from the yamen servant, the grain sold this time is all new grain..."

"What you said is that the court has other plans?"

"Right on my mind."

The imperial court has other considerations?Wu Kui recalled these things about Tianchaotang.

There are constant memorials accusing the officials and the minister of making mistakes in handling this disaster year. It seems that the officials have not responded in any way, and the rich minister does not seem to care.

The other husbands, Bao Xiren and Zeng Mingzhong, are worried... What is the fuss about?

"Fu Zun, I have a guest to see you!"

"not see!"

"Fu Zun, the visitor said that he came here to solve Fu Zun's doubts."

Wu Kui was stunned. At this moment, what he was wondering about...who would know?
"Pass it in."

There are about seven or eight people in the group, and it seems that the leader is very young...

who?Zhao Xi chant.After today's food was taken away by the merchants, Zhao Xi felt that things were almost done, so he told some of the ministers about the overall plan.

Note that it refers to some ministers, not just Fubi, nor all the ministers.

There are some things that require the cooperation of Kaifeng Mansion, so the group will directly move to Kaifeng Mansion.

It's just a disguise for this group of fairies.
