There was a huge flood in the south of the Yangtze River, which soon spread to the capital. For such a big matter, the imperial court can't block the news.

The next day, the price of grain increased by another 50 percent. Because of the drought, the price of grain was four times that of previous years. People can't afford food because of the rising price of food. In addition, the price of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar has also increased, and the salt has nearly doubled.

Xiao Shi, tiekui's wife, was uneasy when hearing the news, and called Zhong Shantong with a big stomach: "now there is a mess outside, and the grain is priced one day, so we should store more grain in our house." At this time, I will not panic if I have food in my hand.

Zhong Shan said peacefully with his face, "my wife is having a good baby. There is a master in the house." Xiao had a daughter before. Now this is the second child! Although tiekui now has two sons, Zhong Shantong knows that tiekui is looking forward to his son.

Seeing Xiao's face and dew uneasy, Zhong Shantong thought about it and said, "don't worry, madam, the food in the mansion will be enough for us to eat for two or three months." The iron mansion is just a small one, and the big one is on Chuang Tzu.

When tiekui heard Yuxi say that there was a drought in the northwest, he began to murmur, and then began to store grain. Because of the special status of tiekui, if he wantonly stores grain, the influence must not be good, so he let Tong chromium come out. Up to now, the amount of grain stored in Zhuangzi is very considerable. Of course, these grains are not for the people in Tiefu to eat, but to sell money. Now the food is in short supply, and the price of food is rising so fiercely, this batch of food will surely buy a good price.

When Xiao heard this, he felt at ease: "if the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is real, it will not be two or three months." This means that we hope Zhong Shantong will go to buy some more food to save.

Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "madam, although Jiangnan, Taiyuan, Shandong and other places have been hit by disasters, but Liaodong has had a big harvest this year, so madam doesn't have to worry about not having food at that time."

When Xiao heard this, he stopped.

In the evening, Zhong Shantong talked about it with tie Kui: "kuizi, the current price of grain is four, two, five yuan and one stone. Do we sell our food? " When they bought it, it was one or two silver and two and a half stone. Now it's sold and it's seven times more profitable.

Tiekui shook his head and said, "don't worry. It's just the beginning. The food will be more and more expensive in the future." In a few days, it will be no later to coarsen the grain.

Zhong Shantong also has concerns: "kuizi, Liaodong has a good harvest this year. When Liaodong's grain arrives in the capital, it will surely fall."

Tiekui laughed at this and said: "let's not say whether the grain of Liaodong will be delivered. Even if it is transported, the disaster will be so serious this year, and the grain will surely rise. " The output of Liaodong is not much. In previous years, a large number of grains were purchased from Taiyuan and other places.

Hearing this, Zhong Shantong couldn't help saying, "I heard that the food in the northwest is very cheap. I don't know whether it's true or not?" The capital said that the grain in the northwest is cheap and should not be fake.

Tiekui knew more about the northwest and said: "the price of grain in the northwest did not rise, but it was relatively high at the beginning. Rice flour is 30 Wen a Jin, coarse grain is 20 Wen a Jin, only potato is cheaper, only four Wen a Jin. " The grain in the northwest is sold by grain shops set by the government, and the price is set to death. However, it's not as good as the capital city. The food purchased in the northwest is based on the population. It's not like the capital city can store a lot of food if it has money.

Zhong Shantong said: "in this way, the rice noodles also need three, two, six and one stone. How could rice noodles be so expensive, seven times more expensive than potato? "

Tiekui said, "the rice noodles in the northwest are all purchased from the south of the Yangtze River. The quantity is very small, but the potato in March is a big harvest. There are many granaries that can't be put down, so they are naturally cheap." After a pause, tiekui said, "in fact, it's not cheap. At that time, it was two Wen and one jin to buy potato from common people. Now, the selling price is twice the original purchase price."

Zhong Shantong didn't think there was anything about it: "four Wen and one Jin are not really expensive." If the price of food in the capital only doubled, I believe that the people in the capital will wake up with laughter.

When tiekui heard this, he couldn't help saying, "yes! It's not expensive. Although it's twice as expensive as it was at the time of acquisition, ordinary people can still afford it. " Unlike the capital, people can't afford food at all, even coarse food.

In only five days, the price of food tripled. The common people have been waiting in the grain shop for a long time, but the grain merchants are not stupid. They close the shop every day when they have sold out the specified quantity. This kind of situation has caused chaos and panic.

Meng Nian said anxiously, "Lord, it's not good to go on like this. We can't let the grain go up any more." These days, the whole capital is going to be a mess.

Yan Wushuang put down the fold in his hand and said, "after catching those grain merchants and forcing them to hand over their grain, what can we do? What to do after that? " The food in Beijing is mainly supplied by Jiangnan, Shandong and Taiyuan. Now these places are suffering from drought and flood. They can't help themselves. There is no food supply for the capital. Because the grain merchants know this truth, they dare to rise so fiercely.

Meng Nian said: "the harvest in Liaodong this year should not be bad. When the wheat harvest is good in October, some grains will be transferred to Beijing." In this way, the chaos in the capital can be stabilized.

Yan Wushuang said, "the grain produced in Liaodong is not enough to supply the army. There is no grain to be adjusted in Beijing."

Yan Wushuang does not plan to supply Liaodong's grain to the capital. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, and the food they need is not a small amount. Yan Wushuang won't starve his soldiers for the sake of the people in the capital.

Meng Nian squirmed his lower lip, but did not continue to persuade him: "what about the capital? The capital can't be stable without food. Surely someone will take the opportunity to make trouble? "

Yan matchless light said: "dare to make trouble, kill is." Killing is as common to Yan as eating.

Meng Nian didn't continue this topic. The decision made by Prince Yan Wushuang is not something he can change: "prince, it has been found out that it was Liu Yongnan who guarded Linzhou city who killed LIN Gui. This man was a fireman when he joined the army. He followed Yunqing all the time. He was Yunqing's confidant. " If it wasn't for him, it would be impossible for him to guard Linzhou city. This place is also an important military base.

Yan Wushuang stood up and said, "Yunqing has so many confidants." In the northwest, the generals guarding the party are all Yunqing's confidants. His people contacted with these people and tried to defeat them, but they all failed. To this end, Yan matchless had to admire Yunqing for being able to make his followers so determined, which he felt inferior to.

Yan Wushuang doesn't want to think about it. Nowadays, the general of the Northwest Garrison doesn't follow Yunqing to climb out of the dead. The friendship between life and death can't be exchanged for any money. This is also why Yuxi will tolerate them, because she knows that although these people have opinions on her, they have no second thoughts on Yunqing. In addition, these people are not stupid. Their life with Yunqing is getting better and better, and their future is bright. They don't have a brain drain, so they may betray Yunqing.

Meng Nian said, "after all, it's the soldiers who have brought so many years." In fact, if it wasn't for the encirclement and annihilation of the rift valley that year, which almost led to the collapse of the Dingbei army, Yunqing could use more generals now.

In the evening, Yan Wushuang returns to the backyard. Looking at his daughter, Yan is in a good mood.

After dinner, Yuchen said, "Lord, I heard that the grain in the capital has risen to 50 Wen a jin?" Yuchen here refers to coarse grain, and the price of fine grain such as rice and flour is even higher.

Yan Wushuang said with a voice: "these grain merchants are all selfless. They know that the flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River can't hide all the grain and don't sell it." Now the grain merchant is still selling grain, which is the result of his interference.

Jade Chen considered next to say: "Lord, do you want to raise money for the people who suffer from the disaster?" As the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River is so serious, the imperial court must have to relieve it.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "take good care of Po and chi. You don't have to worry about anything else." Although Yuchen grew up with Han Yuxi, what Yuchen is good at is dealing with the women in the house, not the things outside. At first, he wanted to teach one or two, but now he put out his mind.

Yuchen is disappointed.

After nearly three months of drought, the bearing capacity of the people in Northwest China has reached its limit. In Henan and other places for a stuttering can not be fatal, now in the northwest, the common people for a saliva also staged all martial arts. This is not the case. Lujiagou and the next village had another fight in the morning because of water distribution.

As long as there are no major casualties, the government is blind. But if it causes heavy casualties, the government does not care about one, two or three, and kills all the people involved. Now in this world, if you catch a prison, you have to provide food and drink. It's easy to kill people directly.

In the northwest, the deterrence of the government is still very strong. So although there are many places where all martial arts are performed from time to time, there are few major casualties. Even if there is one, we are all hiding it. We dare not let the government know.

Yuxi put down the fold and rubbed his eyes. He could not bear to read it day after day.

At this time, Xu Wu also sent the origami of Linzhou city and Yanzhou City. Linzhou and Yanzhou are the two places with the most serious drought in the whole northwest. Yuxi is afraid to see the trade-offs between these two places now.

After reading it, Yuxi is in a bad mood again. Facing Han Jianming who happened to come in, he said, "Yanzhou and Linzhou only died 258 people in one day yesterday." Now this temperature, a careless will heatstroke. When the sun comes out, I dare not go out at all.

Han Jianming said in silence, "more than 30 people died in pickaxe city yesterday." All of these people are too hot to bear to die.

Yuxi sighed: "I hope it will be better in October." In the face of natural disasters, what people can do is really limited.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "definitely." After a pause, Han Jianming said, "Yuxi, I think we should let people know the tragedy of Henan and Shanxi." Only by such a comparison can ordinary people know how happy they are now. In this way, the prestige of Yuxi and Yunqing among the people is increased.

Yuxi thought for a moment and said: "we can release the situation in Henan and other places, but not by way of notice." It can be passed down by word of mouth, but the government does not publicize these things.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "Yuxi, there are disasters all over the country. We have to save some food." Now there is a shortage of food. The food in their hands is chips.

"How to save?" said Yuxi helplessly It has been purchased in limited quantity. Can we not sell grain.

"Reduce the number of monthly restrictions per person," Han said. We can do a lot of things with the food we save. "

Yuxi shook his head and said, "it's not right. It will cause more panic." Previously determined
