The 4885th Chapter Is Calculated Sister (78)

Of course, there is another idea of ​​stockpiling grain, that if the plague of locusts really gets worse, they will be able to turn around with these grains.

Those who have this ability to store grain are naturally noble families.

While they went to places where no news was leaked to buy low-priced grain, they also sold high-priced grain in the capital, and they did not lose at all. These aristocratic families, aren't these officials behind them?

Zhou Jin had a headache this time, and Yun Bingjun also had a headache.

Even if the locust plague is resolved in time, the price of food will not recover for a while. When it recovers, everyone will be poor, and only these families will be rich.

"I still underestimated the cooperation between these noble families and officials. The news of the locust plague was revealed by them that day. I thought there was no movement, but they secretly went to buy food."

Zhou Jin said angrily: "At present, people's families should be able to last for a while, and after a while, the only way for every household to be able to eat cheap food is to open some granaries. However, in this way, It can only be a vicious circle. After all, the granary cannot be fully opened, and no one can predict what will happen in the end. At that time, these families and officials will be the winners.”

It was the first time that Tang Guo saw Zhou Jin look so angry. Usually, in front of her, she always had a smiley face, very shameless.

She put her hand on Zhou Jin's shoulder: "When you encounter such a big difficulty, why don't you ask me for help?"

"Guo'er, I'm afraid you can't help me with this matter." Zhou Jin hurriedly held Tang Guo's hand with both hands, "I know you want to help me, you have already helped me a lot if you can come up with a recipe to eliminate the locust plague, but This is food, and millions of people need it. And the bulk of these food is in the hands of noble families. It is absolutely impossible for the granary to be fully opened.”

With so much food, Tang Guo really couldn't help him, although he was still very moved.

"Who said that the food is in the hands of the noble family?" Tang Guo asked, "A Jin, you emperor must remember to update the news at any time. If you are so backward, be careful that one day the seat under your butt will be unstable."

Zhou Jin is a little confused, what does Guoer mean?

"The bulk of the grain is actually in my hands." Tang Guo is no longer shy, "You just need to speak, and when the people run out of food, there will be cheap food everywhere."

She has been in this world for many years, and most of Yanjing's annual profits are used to buy grain. The land of Dalan is plentiful and the grain harvest is very good. Almost every household has a lot of surplus grain.

If she could buy it, she asked someone to buy it.

Because in the memories she obtained, she knew that after the plague of locusts, such a thing would happen, when countless people were really starved to death.

Especially in the area where the plague of locusts spread, countless people were so hungry that they could only eat the soil and die.

It's not that there is no food, but these families are not philanthropists. They will only raise prices wildly at this time, making food more expensive than gold. How many people can eat it?

"Really?" Zhou Jin was shocked.

Lingyu, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject: "Your Majesty, it's true. The niece has been buying food all these years. The slaves guessed that the niece was an unpredictable prophet, so she was prepared."

"Yes, Guo'er must have anticipated it first, otherwise I wouldn't have known those two things in advance. I, the emperor, is really not as good as you. Even if Yun Bingjun is so calculating, he didn't think about the consequences."
