Chapter 852: Yangmou
Shen Wanshan took Yue Chen onward.
A man wearing ordinary cloth came to Shen Wanshan and said to Yue Chen and others: "See your majesty, see all the masters, and see you Jinyiwei Tianbin."
Shen Wanshan said solemnly: "You are welcome, where is the person you are staring at?"
The commoner man said: "My sirs, please follow me."
Shen Wanshan said solemnly: "You can show the way."
After that, Shen Wanshan grabbed the man and flew up, and Yue Chen and others immediately followed.
Immediately afterwards, Yue Chen and others fell outside a fence, everyone concealed their figures, no one could spot them.
At this moment, a man knocked gently on the door of the yard.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, why are you here."
Outside the door, a woman in her forties smiled enthusiastically, with a bright smile on her face.
Next to the woman, there was a simple and honest middle-aged farmer who also showed a bright smile on her face.
Old Zhou said: "You two are very happy."
The woman smiled and said, "Isn't it?
The old man showed compassion and bought peppers at a high price. You can also book. We have booked all the fields. Our family has 30 acres of fields. We will make a lot of money next year.
My baby doesn’t have to worry about the money to go to the college. "
This is the simplest wish of ordinary families.
With a little money to spend, and enough energy to educate their children, they will be very satisfied in this life.
"By the way, Lao Zhou, haven't you said anything about you looking for us?"
The woman smiled.
Lao Zhou also smiled and said, "I came because of a good thing, can I go in and say."
"Come on, come in!"
The woman opened the door of the yard and warmly invited Lao Zhou in, and then she wanted to drink, "My child, father, give Lao Zhou a bowl of water."
"You're welcome."
Lao Zhou said, and then sat face-to-face with the two women in the yard, Lao Zhou said in a low voice, "Someone asked me to collect food, old sister-in-law, if your family has a little surplus, we can pay a high price.
The woman smiled awkwardly: "We, where do we have more surplus food?"
Lao Zhou stretched out the fingers of both palms and shouted in a deep voice in front of the woman, "Eight copper plates."
"What, what do you mean?"
The woman was surprised.
Lao Zhou said solemnly: "Eight copper plates are a catty.
I want as much as you have. "
The woman's breathing suddenly became a little heavier, and she was surprised: "Lao Zhou, what is it for you to buy food at such a high price?
You can go to the food store in the city to buy, there are so many. "
Old Zhou shook his head and said, "Don't ask me why I bought it.
In one sentence, if you sell it or not, I don't collect much, just over 5,000 catties.
If you don’t sell it, I’ll go to another place to ask. "
After speaking, Lao Zhou got up and was leaving.
"do not!"
The woman stopped Lao Zhou and said with a smile, "We are all old friends, how can such a good thing forget me?
I promised to sell you a thousand catties of grain. "
The woman’s husband just came out with water, and hurriedly said: "My child, his mother, you sold the food, what will our family eat?"
"Hey, look at how worried you are."
The woman sneered, "If we have money, can't we go to the city to buy it?
They drive eight copper plates per catty. It is enough to buy 4 copper plates in the city, and we can still earn 4 copper plates.
Lao Zhou is a kind person. We can take advantage of the advantage. Do you think Lao Zhou? "
Lao Zhou nodded.
The woman's husband is honest. He thought about it, but couldn't think of anything, so he nodded and smiled: "Old Zhou, thank you."
Lao Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, you have your food ready. I will come with someone to fetch it at 12 o'clock in the evening. Remember to keep quiet."
"Ah, why is it midnight."
The husband asked.
Old Zhou said solemnly: "Don't ask, the money won't be fake anyway."
"Yes, yes, no questions, no questions.
Lao Zhou, go slowly. "
The woman shouted.
Lao Zhou left, and the woman also stepped into the room.
Yue Chen walked out from the corner with a sullen face.
Shen Wanshan said: "Your Majesty, let's go up and talk."
Yue Chen nodded and rushed into the air with everyone.
Wei Zhongxian threw the flying boat to let everyone sit down.
Yue Chen shouted in a deep voice: "Shen Qing.
What do they want? "
Shen Wanshan said: "Your Majesty, think about it, this period was originally the season for planting food. If all people planted peppers, what would happen?"
"Food shortage next year!"
Yue Chen shouted, "But our government still has grain."
Shen Wanshan said: "So, this is the enemy's second step to collect grain at a high price.
Collect peppers at a high price while collecting grain at a high price.
What will happen if it is done at the same time? "
Yue Chen finally understood, and he shouted in a deep voice: "There will be severe food shortage next year.
However, the territory of our Yue country is so large, and with the addition of Qingluo country, the current population is close to 20 billion.
How do they collect the land? "
Shen Wanshan said: "My Majesty, they don't need to collect it personally at all. As long as they give a suitable price, will there be fewer merchants?"
Yue Chen said in surprise: "You mean?
Those who collect peppers and grains are just businessmen? "
Shen Wanshan nodded and said, "And not only that, the people behind them, and the people behind them, may all be businessmen.
The people behind the scenes are difficult to dig out. This network has been rolled out, the enemy's plan has been carried out, and now many villages are scheduled to grow peppers at the same time. "
Yue Chen said to Xiao He: "If so, arrest all these people?"
Xiao He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the hustle and bustle is all good for you. Now that the people have tasted the sweetness and got the deposit, they will naturally continue to grow chili.
As for the merchants, as long as they have enough benefits, even if there is a sea of swords and flames in front, they will flow past.
Kill a batch, they will change to more covert acquisition.
As long as the benefits are sufficient, even if it is decapitating, someone will do it.
And your Majesty, you can't ban the people from growing peppers, can you? "
Yue Chen also shook his head: "This is naturally impossible. It is forbidden to grow peppers, and others can harvest potatoes.
There is always something to collect.
If I ban all the crops, then without the other party's action, my Yue country will collapse.
Moreover, the people are ignorant. After they see the huge benefits, who can bear not planting them?
If I ordered them not to grow chili, they would overthrow my empire. "
Yue Chen could have a foreboding that if the people were ordered to ban, he could see the turbulent crowd.
I am afraid that every village will take up arms to drive away the officials who sent the order.
The tricky thing is here.
The people are ignorant, they can't see further traps.
Once all the food is taken away and the people will not grow food this year, the price of food next year may be tenfold.
If the people eat it, they will vomit more. When that happens, the entire Yue country will go bankrupt.
Yue Chen considered importing, but quickly denied it.
With 20 billion mouths, each person eats one catty a day and consumes 20 million tons of food every day.
If 20 billion mouths are waiting for others to feed, this is simply not realistic.
"Who is it that made such a clever method? This is a shameless scheme that makes me helpless."
Yue Chen was furious.
