Chapter 1122 Doubt

"No!" The servants were stunned and said, "There is food."

"Is there food? Where's the food?" At this moment, these people came to their senses, and the businessmen who had rolled to the ground got up from the ground and sat back on their chairs.

"Master Luo bought the grain. It is said that the grain was bought from the Huaxia Kingdom in the sea that helped repel the pirates. There was too much grain. The boats transporting the grain stretched across the sky, and there was no end in sight. The government also said , this is just the first batch, and there will be a second batch soon."

"what……"

The businessmen were sitting there like mud and wood sculptures. Suddenly, they jumped up from their chairs and ran towards the door.

These people ran all the way to the port. Before reaching the port, they saw grain trucks coming along the road with no end in sight.The expressions of these merchants changed, and they stood there sluggishly when they came to the port all the way. How many ships are there, and there is no end in sight.If these ships are full of food, how much is there?
It was getting dark gradually, and the food supply had been stopped.These businessmen walked towards the loop in some dismay.At this time, Luo Xin was busy.These grains had to be divided into 1000 million shi to be transported to the north. Hu Zongxian sent Qi Jiguang out, led an army to protect the grains, and followed Luo Xin to the north.

Hu Zongxian is based in Suzhou, Yu Dayou is responsible for transporting grain back and forth in the south, and Qi Jiguang is responsible for transporting grain to the north.The south of Daming began to completely calm down.

Qi Jiguang's army had assembled, but Luo Xin and the others did not leave.They were waiting for the grain to come off the ship, and 2000 million shi was not a small amount.The silver has been settled to Luo Sheng and the others.Luo Xin wrote another memorial, stating that the food had arrived and the south had been fully recovered, and he also solemnly wrote that the second batch of food in the Huaxia Kingdom on the Sea no longer needed silver, but needed the materials on the list , if there is no material, Huaxia will no longer sell grain to Daming, so be sure to ask His Majesty to transfer the material to Hangzhou within two months.

Liu Shouyou patted Jin Yiwei again and left with the memorial.Luo Xin is still sitting in Hangzhou, waiting for the food to be shipped off the ship.

one day.
Two days.

three days.

Carloads of grain were pulled to the official warehouse, and then transported to various places. There was also a huge transport team gathering. Qi Jiguang led the army to protect it. He only waited for the 1000 million shi of grain to be assembled before following Luo Xin's army.

The food has been sold continuously for three days, and everyone has seen with their own eyes that the food shipped from the ship will be opened and sold in bags on the spot, which makes people no longer doubtful.This made the faces of those grain merchants turn green. What does this mean?
This means that they will have to pay for the food they have hoarded this time, and if they don’t sell it at this time, they will not be able to pay one-third of it until the autumn harvest. The price will drop further, and I'm afraid it will fall below last year's price. Their grain will be in their own hands, and they will go bankrupt.

These grain merchants really regretted it. When the five major families approached them, it would be great if they sold it to the government for three times!

but……

Even if they wanted to sell it now, would Luo Xin buy it?

Don't even think about it, Luo Xin is not short of food at all now.A group of grain merchants gathered together, sighed, and finally decided to cut the meat, and lowered the price to twice that of last year.

This time, there are five more problems in the South, and Luo Xin is completely relieved.At this time, 1000 million shi of grain had also been assembled, and Luo Xin led the army to set off.

Outside Hangzhou, officials and gentry saw him off.Luo Xin called the five masters to him and said:

"Everyone, I will come back. After I finish the disaster relief and bandit suppression, it's time for me to come back to deal with the Shibo Division."

The five masters let out a long sigh of relief, they blindly trusted Luo Xin.They believe that as long as Luo Xin is willing to take over the Shibo Department, the Shibo Department will be able to reopen.

Watching the army meandering away, everyone felt complicated.There is admiration for Luo Xin, but also fear.

Royal Palace.

Luo Xin's first memorial was finally delivered to Emperor Jiajing. There were four memorials, two of which were the same, both written by Luo Xin, but handed in by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang respectively.The third memorial was written by the Dongchang Fanzi, and the fourth was written by Liu Shouyou.These four memorials were all followed the route of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and were presented directly in front of Emperor Jiajing, and did not follow the cabinet.

However, although the cabinet did not receive the memorial, it knew that Luo Xin's memorial had arrived.Xu Jie and Gao Gong, the chief assistants of the cabinet, were standing in front of Emperor Jiajing at this time, secretly looking at Emperor Jiajing's face. From the expression of Emperor Jiajing, they could analyze the reason brought by Luo Xin's memorial. Whether it is good news or bad news.

Emperor Jiajing picked up the memorial from Dongchang first, and couldn't help frowning slightly.In this memorial, he only wrote about how he arrived in Hangzhou and met Luo Xin, and then wrote about the situation in the south, one of which was that the price of grain was ten times that of last year, which made Emperor Jiajing frown.

Gao Gong's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, isn't there no way to solve it?Could it be that Daming is really going to be in chaos, and is he going to die?
Xu Jie was overjoyed in his heart, and thought to himself, as expected by the old man, even Luo Xin, the God of Wealth, could do nothing in the face of such natural disasters and man-made disasters.As long as you implement the old man's plan, you, Luo Xin, will be the one to blame in the end.

Emperor Jiajing put down Dongchang's brochure and picked up Liu Shouyou's brochure. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and after reading it hastily, he picked up Luo Xin's brochure.After reading it from the beginning carefully and in detail, I couldn't help laughing out loud.Gao Gong and Xu Jie looked at Emperor Jiajing uncertainly, and thought to themselves:

"Is His Majesty crazy?"

After the laughter died down, Emperor Jiajing gave the two memorials written by Luo Xin to Xu Jie and Gao Gongdao respectively:

"Look at it, both of you."

Xu Jie and Gao Gong hurriedly opened the booklet to watch, and soon they both finished reading the memorial, both of them had disbelief on their faces.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Xu Jie hissed, "How could Luo Xin get so much food? How could that small country on the sea have so much food? It must be fake. Your Majesty, you must be punished." Luo Xin, he is deceiving the king."

To be honest, Emperor Jiajing was a little disbelieving in his heart.How did Luo Xin produce so much food all at once?And what's next?

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong finally recovered from the shock at this time, pondered for a while and said, "It's easy to tell whether this is true or not."

"Oh? Tell me." Emperor Jiajing looked at Gao Gong.
