Chapter 2531 Drive up food prices

How did she give birth to such two heartless sons? They are still in the mood to eat after such a big incident happened in the family, isn't it crazy?

"Sin, sin, why does Que'er have a father and second uncle like you?"

When Que'er comes back, she must tell Que'er what happened at home, so that Que'er can have a great future, and don't pay attention to these heartless things!

The children looked at Mrs. An in the yard, and at the adults who had already entered the house to eat, and followed them into the house decisively.

Big brother's books were all burned today, and grandma probably doesn't have the heart to scold them anymore, they can eat more food, Ke shouldn't be too happy!

In the tree house.

Qian Yiyun also came back, and the family sat around a table and started eating.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I came back from the county government office and got bad news." Qian Yiyun held a chicken wing in her hand, and before she could take a bite, she thought of the news she had received at the county government office.

"what news?"

An Jiuyue picked up a chicken wing for each of the three children and asked them to continue eating before she raised her head and asked Qian Yiyun.

There is a war, it is impossible.

The news that Qian Jiyun is a plane traveler must have already been transmitted to this plane. Which country would dare to trouble Daqing and provoke a war?

"I heard from the officials in the county yamen that Xiangcheng in the north thought that several prefectures around Xiangcheng hadn't had much rain since July last year, and that there was a severe drought.

Now the price of grain here is already very high, and the people here are not rushing to grab grain, but the emperor ordered each county government to collect grain for backup, so as to support Xiangcheng and other difficult cities at any time.

The grain merchants who got the news were driving up the price of grain. I went to see the price of rice in the grain store, and it was very high. "

Hearing this, An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.

Driving up grain prices and fighting against the court, is this something that ordinary grain merchants can do?

"Just this way?" she asked.

"Definitely not. I asked where I could buy cheap grain, but there was none. The people in the county government also said that the price of grain was the same in all nearby counties, which made them very sad. I can't collect it.

Therefore, Mr. Shi has now focused his ideas on the wheat that should be harvested recently. He hopes to send people to various places to harvest the wheat, but the manpower is not enough. "

Qian Yiyun said.

"Master Shi is really...hehe, it's a beautiful idea."

An Jiuyue commented unceremoniously on Master Shi. Now that the price of grain is skyrocketing, this batch of wheat may not be harvested, and the people also heard the news and wanted to stockpile it for a rainy day.

Or, the grain merchants buy at a higher price, so that the grain merchants can make more money.

"Come on."

With a gloomy expression, Qian Jiyun called a hidden guard.

"See prince, princess, princess."

The dark guard came in and knelt down towards the three of them.

"Get up."

Qian Jiyun asked people to get up and gave orders directly.

"Go and find out, who are behind those grain merchants?"

He believed that if no one supported them, mere grain merchants would not dare to confront the government, at least they would not openly confront the government.

But listening to what Yiyun said, it seems that these grain merchants can't even control the government.

It can be seen that there must be someone behind these people.

"Yes, my lord."

The dark guard took his order and stepped out. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
