Chapter 1979 Grain Price Rise

,

Jinan is still shrouded in sunshine.

The spring water was flowing, and several children squatted by the small river, stretched their hands in to soak, and then raised their heads and shouted happily to cool off.

A woman was yelling and cursing at the door of the house, with tears and snot in her nose. She probably scolded her husband for going out to drink with his friends, and took away the rice money from the house.

Under the willow tree by the river, Fang Xing said: "The rice from Jiaozhi and Nuergandusi is being sent to the north in a steady stream. Rice has a tendency to become the staple food of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the loose grain, the court should introduce some measures to protect the price of grain. measures so as not to hurt farmers due to low grain prices.”

The neighbors were persuading the woman, and she became more and more wronged, with a fierce expression.

"There have been disasters in Shandong in recent years. Xinghe Bo, here needs a lot of rice grain, but every time the grain arrives, most of it is given to the capital and the side wall. Shandong here is forgotten by the princes in the court. Yesterday’s food prices went up again.”

Chang Yu's voice was a little erratic, Fang Xing bit a willow branch and asked, "There shouldn't be much food in the market, right?"

"Yes, someone is hoarding."

"This is a disgusting little trick. They expect Benber to use force to solve it, and then create public opinion and put themselves on the weak side."

Fang Xing turned around, looked at the silent Jiang Xuze and asked, "What does Master Jiang think?"

Jiang Xuze forced a smile and said, "Uncle Xinghe, I think the harvest will come soon, this is just a trivial matter."

"This is the failure to accept."

Fang Xing waved his hand, Jiang Xuze hurriedly said that he had something to do, and then left with Chang Yu.

This is a feast for those grain merchants and landlords.

Are you out of food?

Let's buy it, but this season is not so good, the price is a few percent higher.

No money?

Come, I'll lend it to you!

It's just that the interest rate is a bit high. If you don't like it...then go eat grass roots as a family.

Fang Xing sat by the river for a while, and after the woman's husband was pushed back by several brothers-in-law, he smiled, feeling that this scene was really full of life.

Walking slowly along the side of the street, looking at the various situations in the market, Fang Xing was like an idle landlord, just walking around like this.

"Still raising the price? Does this make people unable to live?"

There is a sign hanging at the door of a rice store, with the price of rice written on it.

"Master, compared with the previous few days, it has increased by 20%."

Fang Xing nodded, watching the people buying rice arguing with the shop assistants.

"Those big ships sent so much food, why did the price increase?"

"What big ships, those grains were sent to the capital and the side walls, as well as road construction, where there is no grain, our Shandong was hit by a disaster last year, and this year's harvest looks like it will not be good, there is no grain, if you want to buy it, you can buy it." Buy it, or go home and starve with your wife and children if you don’t buy it!”

"Shopkeeper, is it cheaper? The family is out of food."

"You are out of food, but the small shop is also out of food. If you don't buy it today, the price will increase tomorrow. You can handle it yourself."

There were quite a few people around the rice shop. These people were carrying pockets, silently looking at the signboard with today's rice price, their expressions numb.

Every time food prices rise, the background is probably a famine.

But Daming is not short of food at present. Under the overall planning of the Ministry of Households, food shortages will be replenished everywhere, so that the price of food will not skyrocket.

...

"Sir, food prices have risen twice."

Yang Yan excitedly went to report the letter, but Mr. Seventeen was just indifferent.

"Here is close to the capital, and he can bring food from the capital at any time, so the methods of those people are really unbearable to witness. If that person gets angry, the price of food may be suppressed to the point where they will lose their homes. Why bother?" Ya..."

Yang Yan sneered in his heart: Those people ruined their homes and took care of my shit. Even if they broke their homes, they still have food, and they can still make a comeback when they wait for the opportunity.

Mr. Seventeen was drinking tea, he took a sip, and praised: "The water here is good, I just want to live here someday, not to mention anything else, as long as I can drink three cups of this kind of tea every day, I will be fine." Even if it is a god, it will not be changed."

"Only during this time,

The water makes people feel a little more dirty. "

Yang Yan listened carefully, he knew that this was Mr. Seventeen's judgment and plan on the situation.

"If someone can make this water return to sweetness, it must be a city of joy... No..."

Mr. Seventeen stared at Yang Yan, and said coldly: "It's a country that is happy, and the universe is boiling. His name will go down in history, and he will be immortal!"

There is something in this, Yang Yan said with a smile: "The more people outside know the name of Mr., the world can go, let alone a mere Jinan. As for... the water, the students thought that many people were drinking this water, and someone would come out Wash away the filth..."

Mr. Seventeen put down his teacup, looked at Yang Yan, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and said: "You think too much, the old man didn't say anything, I didn't ask anything."

Yang Yan's armpit was instantly wet with sweat, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, sir, the students are just asking for advice."

Mr. Seventeen pointed to the outside, and Yang Yan bowed to leave.

"Sir, this man is timid and afraid, so he won't help us much."

"What the old man wants is him to take the lead. What kind of help? He is also worthy to help our family? Ridiculous!"

...

"Food prices have risen again."

Yang Yan found two companions, Deng Fa and He Shan, in an inn.

Deng Fa said with some concern: "Food prices will increase, this will make Fang Xing angry, brother Xiuyu, whose method is this? It's not appropriate!"

He Shan lay on the bed, and said lazily: "Never mind them, let's sit and watch the situation rise. At least the people should wake up from hatred now, and hate him for being troublesome."

Yang Yan drank a cup of tea, and said excitedly between his brows: "The benefits of cleaning up the fields are not yet apparent, but the increase in food prices is real. No matter how capable Fang Xing is, but the people are ignorant, he will definitely be exhausted in the end." Please, after the calm down, the unlucky ones will be unlucky, but what does it have to do with us?"

He spread his hands and looked at his two companions.

There was a burst of playful laughter, full of complacency and... the ease of having nothing to do with oneself.

Yang Yan then went to another mansion to see him.

There is actually a stream in the mansion, and the spring water from an unknown source flows quietly.

Surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, the courtyard is deep and the environment is quiet.

Follow the servant along the creek and there is a pavilion in front.

The pavilion straddles the creek, and you can hear the gurgling water when you sit in it. The water vapor is striking, cool and comfortable.

There was music coming from outside the pavilion, Yang Yan concealed the disdain in his heart, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Mr. Ding."

There was a big man sitting in the pavilion, with one arm around a woman, he closed his eyes, but when he heard the voice, he said calmly, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Yan looked at the two women and said, "I want to talk to Mr. Ding about something, can I..."

The big man let go of his hands, opened his eyes, and said, "Go first, and I will pamper you later, master, hahahaha!"

patronize……

One sentence revealed the boldness of the big man. After Yang Yan waited for the others to leave, he walked into the pavilion and said, "Someone said that if anyone can make the spring water in Jinan sweet again, that person will suffer a lot. do."

The big man said coldly: "Don't say such inexplicable things to me, talk about things if you have something to do, or get out."

Yang Yan frowned and looked at the two men walking across the creek, and said, "Ding Ernu, don't..."

"I'm called Ding Yao now."

The table was full of wine and vegetables, and the big man picked up the jug and poured it with his head raised.

Yang Yan took a step back and said, "Ding Yao, that man is too powerful, you don't need to do anything, just cut off the wings."

Ding Yao waved his hand, and the two men backed away.

He hiccupped, looked at Yang Yan disdainfully, and asked, "Who guarantees it?"

Yang Yan shook his head and said: "This matter is beneficial to the country, Ding Yao, although you were recruited because you saved the son of the former magistrate, but you have to know that if there is no new credit, those people can use you to claim credit at any time. So...you have no room to refuse."

Ding Yao threw the jug out, and cursed: "I know you people are uneasy and kind, and if you offend me, I will take my brothers out and kill you."

Yang Yan smiled and said: "You have no room to refuse, and you can't refuse that person, otherwise, even if you return to the mountains, you will die."
