The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 203 She Wasn't Your Lady Before She Went Through the Door
It can be said that Xiao Changan came back quietly this time, and he only went to the county government to meet Magistrate Wu after he came back, and did not disturb the rest of the people.

When Xiao Changan left, the grain price rose to [-] yuan shortly after he left, and then dropped back to [-] yuan again because of the bumper grain harvest this year.

Farmers also made a small profit because of this, and food prices have not risen much.

But not long after Xiao Changan came back, several grain shops in the city suddenly ran out of grain to sell, and the people in the grain shops went to the countryside to collect grain at high prices. shop.

Because the grain in the grain store is collected at a high price, it is conceivable that the selling price has to be increased by several percent. A while ago, you can buy fifteen yuan a catty of grain, but now it costs forty yuan to buy it again. It's a catty.

That's it, but the grain store ran out of grain to sell again in a few days.

However, the grain left by many farmers is only enough for their own food, so how can they dare to sell it?He even regretted selling the grain at a high price before. If he waited a little longer, would he be able to sell it for forty cents a catty?

A few days later, when several grain shops reopened, the price of a catty of grain rose to [-] Wen, and this time the whole city panicked.

Before the disaster, food that cost only five cents per catty was acceptable to everyone when it rose to fifteen cents per catty after the disaster. Wen a catty, how many can afford it?

But what can I do if I don’t buy it?It was also cold, and there was no place to dig vegetables.

That is, the sweet potatoes sold on the street cost [-] cents a catty. If you don’t buy them yourself, someone else will buy them. Many people regret that the food they bought this year is still not enough.

Fortunately, the drought last year made most people aware of the danger. After the autumn harvest, the family had a lot of food. At this time, there are not many families who need to spend [-] yuan a catty to buy food.

And it is these few people who are really poor, otherwise why would they not save more food at that time?
This is the case in Liu'an County, and the same is true in the surrounding counties. Wherever you can go to buy food, the price of food is ridiculously expensive.Although no people starved to death for a while, people were panicked.

When Su Xiaoye heard about this, she was eating ice cream in Xiao Changan's mansion in Liu'an County.

The fire wall in the house is very hot, and it is best to eat ice cream in this weather.

Seeing that Xiao Changan was still looking at official documents, he poked his ribs with his hand, "You just watched those people hoard food and sell it at a high price? If you don't care about it, you will starve to death."

Xiao Changan stretched out his hand to hold her dishonest little hand, held it in his palm and said with a smile, "Wait a little longer."

Su Xiaoye sighed: "How long will we have to wait? If we wait any longer, someone will starve to death."

Xiao Changan smiled and said nothing, just rubbed gently on the back of her hand. When Su Xiaoye realized it, she blushed first, pulled her hand out, and glared at Xiao Changan, "Why don't you Honestly? How bad is it for others to see?”

Xiao Changan chuckled, "You are my unmarried lady, who dares to say anything?"

Su Xiaoye retorted: "You also said that you haven't passed the door, and if you haven't passed the door, you are not your wife."

Xiao Changan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Xiaoye blames me for not marrying you earlier?"

Su Xiaoye quickly waved her hands, "No, I still want to stay by my mother's side for a few more years."

Thinking of Xu Zhixiang's excuses when he refused to let Su Xiaoye get married earlier, it suddenly dawned on her, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to accompany your mother-in-law after you get married? Actually, after you and I get married, you can also bring your mother-in-law to live with me. The mansion is still very big, and there is no one else at home, mother-in-law can also help you take care of the affairs of the mansion when she stays here, and it will save the mansion just the two of us empty."
