Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 215;

"By the way, you will take someone to Wanfu's village tomorrow morning. I bought [-] shi of wheat from her today."

Hearing this, Wen Songtao was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what did you just say?"

"Eighty thousand stones."

"Eighty thousand?"

Wen Songtao was shocked, he couldn't figure out why Lu Yaoyao had so much wheat.

"This girl is very shrewd. She has researched steamed buns. Seeing that the wheat is so cheap, she immediately sold and bought all the wheat around the capital."

"Three pennies per catty."

Emperor Hongwen smiled and looked at Wen Songtao who opened his mouth wide.

He was also extremely shocked when he heard the number of more than one hundred thousand stones on Zhuangzi just now.

"Three pennies a catty, this girl, really"

Wen Songtao is very clear about how expensive the food outside is now, three Wen per catty, if it is true what Emperor Hongwen said just now.

This time buying food for disaster relief, the court can save a lot of money, and the aristocratic family can't get it even after spending a lot of money.

Even, once wheat flour, steamed buns and steamed buns appear, they will inevitably sweep the entire East Continent, and those aristocratic families will probably lose all their money.

You must know that at the beginning of the drought, the aristocratic family began to hoard food. Although the price of the food at the beginning was not outrageous, as the drought broke out, the price of food also soared.

The aristocratic family has always been domineering, and they wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail the court severely, so even if the price of grain was much higher in the future, they would buy it without hesitation.

Even when the price was ten times higher than the normal price, they were buying. The purpose was to make there be no grain outside, forcing the court to buy grain from them at a higher price.

Now when wheat appears, it costs three Wen a catty, and although the quantity of this thing is not much every year, the amount of consumption is not much, and this thing can also be stored for several years.

At present, there will be a lot of them on the market. Once they are all taken down, made into flour, steamed buns and steamed buns, there will be no shortage of food in the court for disaster relief.

Moreover, it is impossible for the common people to sell grain at this juncture. Even if they want to buy it, they can still release the excess wheat they bought first at a slightly higher price.

Then the original outrageous grain price will be crushed in an instant.

"You're a shrewd little girl. I promised to give her double the price to buy it. When the time comes, you will bring the money, as well as the flour and how to make steamed buns. You will also arrange for someone to go there to learn."

Wen Songtao nodded again and again, it doesn't matter if it's twice as much, and it's only six cents a catty. Compared with the outrageous grain price now, it's just a drizzle.

The next day, Wen Songtao brought people to Lu Yaoyao's farm after leaving the court.

"Why does Grandpa Wen come to my place when he is free?"

Knowing that Wen Songtao is coming, Lu Yaoyao personally goes to the gate of Zhuangzi to greet him.

"You girl is really powerful. Your Majesty asked me to come and buy wheat from you."

"Oh, are you in charge of this matter?"

Wen Songtao nodded with a smile.

Follow Lu Yaoyao into the farm yard.

"Grandpa Wen, please take your seat."

"Don't worry, I still have the right thing to do."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the person following behind, and the person handed over a imperial decree.

"The chief of Wanfu County received the order."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that this should be a matter of rewarding the land.

She quickly knelt down to accept the order.

Sure enough, as she guessed, the imperial decree was to reward her with land, not only land, but also some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

"Grandpa Wen, please sit down, I have already asked Qiu Yu to prepare shaved ice, please cool off first, we will talk about the wheat later."

"Okay, it's hot these days, and your shaved ice is a good way to cool off."

After a while, the autumn rain came.

A lot of shaved ice was served, and this time there were quite a few people who followed Wen Songtao, almost everyone had a bowl, which was enough.

"Girl, I got a piece of news yesterday."

"Huh? What news?"

Wen Songtao looked around and said in a low voice; "The Gao family is going to be in trouble."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"This, I can't tell you in detail for the time being. Your Majesty won't allow it, so you just watch. Even if the Gao family doesn't die this time, they have to shed a layer of skin."

"That's a good relationship. Last time they framed the Lu family, I wanted to deal with them, but they are powerful, and I can't help it. Now it's finally going to be unlucky."

Seeing her like this, Wen Songtao smiled, and he also knew some grievances between her and the Gao family.

He has also been displeased with this Gao family for a long time, not only because he is a political enemy, but mainly because Gao Yanming is too domineering.

"The Gao family is going to be in trouble."

At the same time, King Jin also got the news. As soon as the idea appeared, a light flashed in his mind, which was so fleeting that he couldn't grasp it at once.

He frowned quickly, thinking, what was that just now?

"My lord, now the court is buying wheat everywhere, this stuff is so unpalatable, the court doesn't want to use this for disaster relief, does it?"

"Wheat? Wheat"

The moment Yan San's voice sounded, the fleeting gleam of light just now was captured by King Jin.

Immediately saw him smile.

"Great, really great."

"What's the best? Who is the best?"

Yan San looked at his lord in a daze, what the hell are you laughing at all of a sudden?

King Jin didn't answer a word to his question, just laughed.

The news about Chaotang buying wheat from everywhere soon spread.

Many people were stunned and had the same thoughts as Yan San. Could it be that His Majesty could not buy food and planned to use wheat for disaster relief?

At present, several ministers have come to the imperial study room to ask for an interview, wanting to inquire clearly.

Gao Yanming sneered when he heard the news.

"The truth is to see how long you can survive. Wheat relief is such a big joke."

As soon as his voice fell, someone from outside reported that the people in charge of the four great families in the capital had asked to see him.

"Please come in."

Not long after, the heads of the four great families in the capital came in from the outside.

"Gao Xiang."

The person in charge of the Han family, Han Jingcong, spoke first.

But before he could say what he said later, Gao Yanming interrupted him by raising his hand.

"Please sit down."

The four walked to the side and sat down.

"I know the truth about your coming, don't worry, this matter will not have any impact on us."

"Wheat disaster relief, he can do such a stupid thing, the bad luck is that he won't be us."

Hearing his words, the four of them also knew that he knew what he was thinking, and he let go of what he had originally raised.

You know, they spent a lot of money buying grain this time. If something goes wrong, they will lose a lot.

Although it can't hurt the foundation, it's enough to make them heartbroken.
