Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 246 The Atmosphere Has Changed?

It was rare for Yun Jinghao to be the first to ask, "After discussing with the villagers, did you agree to sell the grain to those grain merchants?"

Liu Lizheng shook his head, "That's not true. I always thought, how can there be such a good thing in the world? It's very rare for those grain merchants to come to the village to collect grain. Give such a good price?" It's hard not to think, is there something wrong in it?
"Because I was worried, I went to several other surrounding villages to inquire. I found that there were also grain merchants in other villages, but there were relatively few people who went there. Most of them were just one or two people. The prices were low and high. This year There is no drought, there are water trucks, and the harvests in all villages are good, and many people in other villages have agreed to sell their grain to those grain merchants."

"I can also understand their thinking. The grain merchants will send their own people to transport the grain. There is no need for the villagers to go to the town or the county. It is tiring and exhausting. Why not do it?"

It's just that he was more cautious and didn't agree immediately.

Luo Jinxiu asked curiously, "Then how did you get back to those grain merchants?"

Liu Lizheng said: "I just said that we should think about it and ask the villagers. After all, the lives of the people in our village are better, and they are not short of the money for selling grain. On the contrary, every household has the habit of saving more grain just in case. . ” Really let them sell all the food, this is really a bit uncertain.

"In the past two days, people in the village will send grain to the county one after another, and those grain merchants will definitely come to confirm whether our village is willing to sell grain."

Although Liu Lizheng didn't quite understand why there were more grain merchants in Shangxi Village than other villages, it was easy for others to figure it out. From Lizheng's point of view, life in the village was better and there was no shortage of merchants. The little money you get from the food is not as good as the dividends from the Liangpi workshop, and you don’t sell medicinal materials, and the wages of working in the fat cream workshop are high, so why sell it?In case there is a natural or man-made disaster, will it be safe to have no food in hand?It's better to keep it.

But the grain merchants may think that because the people in Shangxi Village are not short of money, there is no need to keep too much grain. If they have money, they are afraid that they will not be able to buy other delicious and better quality grains?
Compared with other villages, they must keep a lot of their own family to eat, and they can't collect much. The grain merchants must have greater expectations for Shangxi Village.

Liu Li was carefully observing the expressions of Yun Jinghao and the others, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart: "Jinghao, is there something wrong with those grain merchants? Could it be that they are here to cheat grain?"

The corners of the mouths of the few people who were thinking about something completely different from Liu Lizheng twitched slightly, and Yun Jinghao also had a strange expression on his face, with a look of helplessness in his eyes, "You worry too much."

Luo Jinxiu also suppressed a smile and said, "The village sells grain to and from the town every year, so there's no way I don't know any of the grain merchants, right?"

Liu Lizheng was a little embarrassed, "Indeed, two of those people were the owners of the grain shop where the villagers used to sell grain." It's just that in the past when they sold grain, they were all in charge of the shopkeeper, and the owner would never show up on purpose. It was just that when I happened to go there one time, I happened to meet the person who was going to check the accounts, so I knew what the owner of the grain shop looked like.

"The grain merchant itself should be fine." Yun Jinghao first reassured Liu Lizheng.

Liu Lizheng breathed a sigh of relief at first, then his nerves trembled because of the abnormality in his tone, and he rubbed his hands nervously, "Then what's the problem?"

Yun Jinghao was silent for a while, and then said: "Lizheng can talk to the villagers first. If you can persuade them, let them keep the food first. If you don't want to, you don't have to force them."

Liu Lizheng nodded while feeling even weirder in his heart, and wanted to ask what was going on, but Xiao Shan, who had only been listening to him, also spoke. Just two simple and understated words made Liu Lizheng's expression suddenly change. .

"Border."

……

"I didn't expect that this place would already be affected before the war really started." Xiao Shanchang said with emotion.

As Xiao Shanchang and Wei Yan, who had the opportunity to enter the imperial court and were excellent in all aspects such as talent and strategy, it was easy to find abnormalities in those grain merchants who suddenly appeared.

The expressions of the other people in the main room were very serious, even Jinshu and Tingyu looked serious, and luckily Ah Ming was not here at this time, but was resting in the room, otherwise this kind of topic would be really inconvenient Talk about it in front of him, even if he doesn't remember anything.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not incomprehensible. They are already close to the border. When the Duke’s mansion sent a letter, there was no movement at the border. The time wasted in the middle and the time difference was found to be abnormal. Such a period of time is enough. Well-informed people find something and do something about it.

"Are these grain merchants planning to make money from the war?" Luo Jinxiu raised an eyebrow, "Store grain?"

"Maybe, maybe it's just for emergencies." Wei Yan said.

Chief Xiao Shan clicked his tongue, "I'm afraid that the atmosphere in Fucheng will also be affected in the near future. You have connections in the capital, and there is someone outside the customs at home. The battle at the border this time is completely irrelevant. It’s hard to say, if things in the village are almost as busy, you should go back to Fucheng as soon as possible, the news there will be transmitted much faster than here, and you can learn about the latest situation as soon as possible.”

Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu looked quite serious and did not deny this.

"The harvest in the village is over, the medicinal materials are finished, and I have made arrangements for the workshop. If you have a good time, we can leave tomorrow." Luo Jinxiu said.

"Then come back tomorrow."

That night, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu were lying on the bed. It was rare that neither of them wanted to exchange feelings, but both of them frowned, feeling a little depressed.

After a while, Luo Jinxiu patted his chest and asked casually: "If there is a fight at the border, will you go?"

Yun Jinghao took her hand, "I have already disarmed and returned to the field. If there are no special circumstances, Yunshui Kingdom does not lack generals who are good at fighting, so it may not be necessary for me to return to the border." He climbed to the position of President Qian at the beginning, but There is still a leader on the top, he is not the one who is indispensable.

Of course, it is true that it can help Shangfeng solve many problems, and take down the heads of a few barbarian generals to relieve the pressure.

Luo Jinxiu didn't know what was considered a special situation, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but for some reason she didn't continue to ask, but leaned against his arms and closed her eyes, silently making a certain determination in her heart.

"I'm leaving so soon, when will you come back again?" Zhou Xier said goodbye to Luo Jinxiu with a face full of reluctance one morning, "I've only been back for a few days, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye to you." talk."

Luo Jinxiu smiled, "I can't help it, isn't the Li family also busy with harvesting, you still have to take the children with you, but it's okay, there will be opportunities in the future, I may not come back in a short time, but I will definitely come to you during the Chinese New Year New Year's gift, how about we catch up on the old days?"

Zhou Xi'er pursed her mouth and was still a little unhappy, but she still nodded, "That's the only way to go."

Luo Jinxiu hesitated for a moment, and still whispered in Zhou Xier's ear: "The world may become more chaotic after a while, you tell your family to be strong, don't run out if you have nothing to do, at home you are subject to Uncle Li and you, and child."

Zhou Xi'er raised her head in doubt, and wanted to ask, "Why is the world in chaos?" But she closed her mouth after seeing Luo Jinxiu's eyes, and just said obediently: "I see, I will definitely not let Da Zhuang wander around. Stay home!"

The children in their family are still young, so they can't let the man in the family have an accident. What will she do as a woman then?

Zhou Xi'er didn't believe that Luo Jinxiu was talking nonsense. In the past few years, she only saw that Jinxiu and her men were getting better and better, and that they could help the entire Shangxi Village. Jinxiu would not cheat her.

After saying goodbye to several close relatives, Yun Jinghao and his party returned to Fucheng. This time, let alone, it was only five or six days away. When they first entered the city, it was obvious that the entire group Suddenly found that the atmosphere in the city has become different.

This feeling may not be noticed if you don’t look carefully. There are still people coming and going on the street, the shops are open as usual, and the hawkers are shouting one after another, but everyone’s expression seems to be a little tense, and the smile on their faces is not as usual. easy.

Wei Yan said lightly: "I'm afraid the news of the border has already reached Fucheng."

Chief Xiao Shan then said: "If only the government got the news, the whole city wouldn't be affected, unless..."

"The frontier border should have been fought." Yun Jinghao said firmly, looked around, and gestured to Wuxia, "You go and inquire about the news."

Wuxia responded, and easily jumped out of the carriage while it was still driving slowly, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

By the time their carriage arrived at the door, Wuxia had already inquired about a lot of things and rushed back, reporting directly and quickly without pausing.

"The news in the city spread on the second day after we left. At first, some people seemed to have heard some rumors, but within two days, the news that the border had been fought became known to everyone. Several people in the city The price of grain in the big grain shops has risen slightly, but it is not exaggerated, and many people have also hoarded a lot of grain in the past few days."

That is to say, the location of Shangxi Village is relatively remote, and it is a rural area. It will take several days for the news from Fucheng to reach the other side. Otherwise, where are those grain merchants who want to take advantage? Li Zheng is sure The grain merchants were directly blasted out.

There is going to be a war, and everyone wants to save more food, who would be so stupid as to sell the food.

"Government, is there any movement from the prefect?" Yun Jinghao asked in a deep voice.
