The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 326
"It's confirmed, they are short of food." Shangguan Qing returned to the public hall, couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, shook her fist heavily, and said to Guiyan: "Let the people and merchants below raise the price of food and increase the supply. , as long as it’s food, no matter how expensive it is, those people on the opposite side will want it.”

"Princess, is this okay?" Guiyan was a little uncertain.

The enemy is very powerful. If you put a high price on poor-quality food, it is likely to arouse the hatred of the other party.

Shangguan Qing said: "Our two sides fought once 300 years ago, and the enmity has long been formed, but do you think the people over there can live longer than 300 years?"

Ghost Eye shook his head, he had also seen the white people opposite, ordinary people who didn't understand vitality, and their physical strength was not as strong as the mountain people in Nanling, such people definitely didn't have the long life span of 300 years.

Shangguan Qing said: "The people who fought each other 300 years ago have long since died, and the rest only know the stories of the past, so peace can come easily, and people who fight will die. We are not the only ones who understand this."

"Can we raise food prices suddenly, or..."

"I'm not talking about keeping the price of food at a high level. When the merchants outside the mountain bring in the food, you can slowly reduce the price of food to a reasonable price. During this period, every mountain citizen should be allocated war dividends." , if you don’t want the money, I’ll let someone else do it.”

"We want, such a good thing, how can we not."

Guiyan is the elder among the mountain people. He was willing to cooperate with Shangguan Qing and Chu Qianhan at the beginning for the benefit of the mountain people, and finally surrendered for the benefit of the mountain people.

As long as the life of the mountain people gets better day by day, he will always end up in Qiongya Palace.

This time, he knew that the dangerous Ghost Eye would come to Qianshan City, because he thought that Shangguan Qing and Chu Qianhan would give up Nanling Mountain, and he didn't want to leave this mountain. Even if he died, he would die in his hometown.

Shangguan Qing saw this, that's why he made such an arrangement, which was to plant the seeds of conflict between the mountain people and the enemy, so as to prevent the mountain people from falling into the arms of the enemy.

Everything is because of strategy.

Allowing the mountain people to make a small fortune is just a by-product of the strategy.

Shangguan Qing kindly reminded: "Don't spend money recklessly when you make a fortune. The last word is to keep the money in the most important time."

"No." Ghost Eye almost wanted to kneel down to accept the order.

Shangguanqing and Guiyan talked about the detailed grain sales process.

At the same time, Robert was also thinking about Alice's report on the transaction. He said apologetically, "The other party has already found out that we are short of food. It's all because I was too impatient and bought too much food in the market."

Alice didn't blame Robert, and comforted: "It's not your fault, people are starving to death, and I can't control so many."

Robert explained Shangguan Qing's attitude again, and Alice asked unexpectedly: "Is she willing to sell us food?"

"Yes, but the quantity is limited. She let us go to the market to buy food, and she will not set up obstacles for us." This is the only good news in Robert's mind.

"I'm afraid the price of food in the market will increase." Alice understood better than Robert.

Robert asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Because the amount of food in the mountain is limited before the food from outside the mountain comes in, we have to buy it from the mountain people. This is called a shortage of supplies, and those cunning mountain people will definitely take the opportunity to make a fortune."

"They dare." Robert gritted his teeth.

Alice reassured: "Let them take some advantage, it's money to buy roads, so that the food from outside the mountain can be brought in, you go down and calculate the total amount of food you need every week, and let everyone be patient, after a week or two, the food problem should be solved. It can be solved." She thought of Shangguan Qing's delicate face and the firmness in his eyes.

This is a strong daughter, she is mentally strong and will get stronger sooner or later.

"Maybe, we should have acted earlier, Robert."

"Your Highness, please give me instructions."

"About Shangguan Qing to meet in three days' time, at the office over Qianshan City, and said that I want to discuss further cooperation with her."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Alice waved her hand to make Robert retreat. She stood up and walked to the huge French window, looking out at the vast desert, and on the other side of the desert was her enemy.

"I'll go back, just wait."

After Shangguan Qing received the letter of invitation, she did not agree immediately, but wrote back saying that she would not be free in three days, and that she would return to Qianshan City in seven days, and when we met, she would bring a batch of food.

After the envoy left, Shangguan Qing said to Ghost Eye: "The price of food can only be kept high for seven days, and the price will start to drop after seven days, and it will drop to the original price in half a month."

"No." Ghost Eye didn't understand the reason, but he would follow through.

Shangguan Qing left Qianshan City and returned to Qiongya. The price of food in the market soared that night, driving all prices to rise. The local mountain people can also barter. Get more gold.

The most miserable ones are those caravans running business. The sudden skyrocketing travel and meal expenses gave them a headache. They had to take out the goods they were carrying in exchange for food to fill their stomachs, and then quickly fled Qianshan City. Take it in all directions.After two years of construction, the six commercial roads in Nanling have all been connected. Caravans can cross them at a speed of fifty miles per day in six to seven days, and they can cross them vertically in only 20 days. This is several times faster than before. times.Moreover, the trade routes guarded by the mountain people are much safer than in the past.

According to Shangguan Qing's estimate, it only takes fifteen days for the first batch of foreign grain to enter the mountain.

The mountain people can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

But Shangguan Qing still underestimated the enthusiasm of the merchants in pursuit of wealth. Only four days later, there was news that the first batch of grain from Shanbei Road had entered the mountain, and it would be transported to Qianshan City in three days.

After investigation by Guiyan, it was found that it was a letter eagle used by a caravan on Shannan Road, who passed the news back to the family.

With the appearance of the first batch of grain transport caravans, more grain transport teams entered the mountain area, and some mountain people asked if they wanted to stop them. Ghostly eyes saw that the children under him were about to slip away from the opportunity to make a fortune, and felt a little anxious. Shangguan Qing didn't want to Asking Guiyan to take action, but human greed can't stop it. She wrote back to tell Guiyan not to take action, and gave a time limit to prevent the formation of the caravan for more than seven days.

In other words, Shangguanqing gave them ten days to make a fortune, and after these ten days, the roads must be opened to allow foreign grains to enter the market.

Shangguan Qing was afraid that the ghost eye would not understand the reason, and warned him in his heart: "Don't let the enemy want to use force, we are not their opponent yet."
