The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 191 The Reversal Comes Too Fast (Part [-])
Su Tang and Yingyue were worried when they saw this scene, they ran fast with all their strength, but they had few fights and no combat experience, so don't let anything happen.

Only Jun Shiyi looked at this scene indifferently, he felt that they all underestimated the fighting power of the iron-eating beast, and Su Tang was even more concerned about it, causing chaos.

With Jing Tuan's speed comparable to Xiao Che's lightness kung fu, he can run even if he can't beat it, not to mention that it can crush a bull's skull with a single punch, no one can beat it.

Jingtuan also proved with actions that with great strength and fast speed, no combat experience is needed at all. When the hungry wolf was about to rush in front of it, Jingtuan silently raised its licked paw and waved it, hitting On the head of a hungry wolf.

Immediately afterwards, the hungry wolf flew out to one side and hit the iron railing on the side. When it landed, it could be clearly seen that the hungry wolf's head was limp, and the skull had obviously been crushed to death. up.

Easy, one move wins.

The cheers that had just arrived came to an abrupt end, and everyone was stunned, unable to react from this rapid reversal for a long time.

Jingtuan took care of its fur, and its hair was shining brightly, waiting for everyone to cheer, but unfortunately the cheers were not as loud as before. Who would cheer for it if they all lost money, as long as some women looked at Jingtuan and called it cute.

"This guy beat the hungry wolf to death." Some people still don't want to believe this fact.

"This is an iron-eating beast, so it's not surprising that it can win."

"But it's fat and not vicious at all, how could it beat the nimble hungry wolf." The audience questioned.

When they were discussing in full swing, they didn't enjoy the amazing group adored by thousands of people as they imagined, and they left the arena with a little disappointment.

"Let's go too." Su Tang stood up, it was really useless to worry about it today, judging by the situation, Jingtuan probably would have a good time here.

After finding Jingtuan and bidding farewell to it, and telling it not to cause trouble, Liu Zhuang stared at it in a daze. Now he is absolutely sure that this iron-eating beast really understands human speech.

Su Tang and Jun Shiyi left the Colosseum and returned home. She still had a lot of memorials waiting to be approved.

When the car passed by the hunting ground, the system's danger alarm suddenly sounded in her mind, and she quickly opened the virtual image, and saw more than a dozen red dots approaching her.

Before she could remind the people around her to be vigilant, those red dots disappeared one by one. That's right, they didn't leave, they just disappeared.

This shows that someone intercepted and killed these assassins halfway.

The imperial guards and Shence Army who were sent by the emperor to protect her are all around her. Could it be that there is another group of people secretly protecting her? Who could it be?
Su Tang, who would not be able to figure it out for a while, didn't bother to think about it, because she was so busy every day that her brain hurt.

After returning to the mansion, he began to sit in front of the table and approve the memorial, and hurriedly finished the approval before dark, and people hurriedly sent it to the palace.

Su Tang stretched his muscles and bones, and she was not used to Jing Tuan suddenly not dangling in front of her.

After dinner, ask Yingyue to call Jun Shiyi over to talk about her future plans.

"The village mainly collects grain?" Jun Shiyi sat on the attic, and paused slightly with his hand holding the tea after hearing Su Tang's words.

Su Tang took out the 20 taels of silver bills brought from Fufengzhai, and pushed it in front of Jun Shiyi, "I want to buy all the 20 taels of silver into grain."

According to the situation of her approval of the memorials in the past two days, in the next period of time, due to the drought in the south, domestic food prices will rise in a wave.

Nan'an County is now in the hardest hit area, and the two neighboring counties are also affected.

Rich merchants in the disaster area have already started stockpiling grain, and grain prices in the south have skyrocketed. With the shortage of grain, it will soon affect the rise of grain prices across the country.

The treasury has also been releasing food for disaster relief, trying to reduce the number of people in the disaster-stricken areas from starving to death. It is summer, and if too many people die, it will easily cause epidemics.

It's a pity that Leng'an's treasury has been strained, and there is still food left to support the frontier army, so there is not much food for disaster relief.

But the victims cannot be left alone. It is estimated that the imperial court will find a way to get a batch of money from the country or other countries to buy grain and send it to the disaster area.

But this is ancient times, with few fields and low yields, and good weather and good weather cannot guarantee that all the people will have enough to eat, which will lead to another wave of food price rises.

"With 20 taels of silver, you can buy about 16 shi of grain according to the price of grain in the capital. If so much grain disappears from the market, it will inevitably cause fluctuations in grain prices. If it causes panic among the people that there is no food to eat, It's not a joke to hoard grains one after another, and the price of grains will soar." Jun Shiyi reminded cautiously.

The price of food soars, and people can't afford food or eat food, which will lead to more people starving to death. In fact, in this kind of disaster year, it is not impossible for the whole country to work together to relieve the disaster.

The most fearful thing is that merchants distribute disaster money, hoard grain maliciously and wait until the price of grain soars before selling it, making the already scarce grain even more scarce, and the price rises uncontrollably.

Even if the imperial court wanted to lower the price of grain, if any businessman hoarded grain maliciously, he would be arrested and imprisoned, which was still repeatedly prohibited.

Historically, due to disaster years, the price of grain from one tael to one stone was raised to tens of two to hundreds of taels, merchants hoarded grain and did not sell it, and common people starved to death because they couldn’t afford it. Such tragedies have happened.

"So I would like to invite you to do this matter. I believe you can handle it well. The 20 taels of grain are all bought in Kyoto, which will indeed affect the price of grain, but you have to go to the surrounding cities to buy some. If the pressure of food shortage is shared, it won’t have much impact.”

While hoarding grain without knowing it, control the price of grain so as not to cause panic among the people and cause the situation where the common people and merchants start hoarding grain. Su Tang believes that Jun Shiyi can do it and handle it well.

In fact, Su Tang thought about it for a long time. It was the right time for her to stockpile grain at this time, to benefit herself and the people.

It's better to keep it in her hands, and when the price of grain rises to a price that the common people cannot accept, she will release the grain to alleviate the shortage of grain in the market and make a small profit for herself. win-win situation.

Even so, there was no harvest in the southern area, and the imperial court used to buy grain in good years and sell grain in bad years to stabilize grain prices. The grain in the Changping warehouse was also put into disaster relief.

Before the next crop harvest, there will be less and less food in the world, and the price of food should be on an upward trend. As for the speed of the increase, it depends on whether those profiteers will take the opportunity to drive up the price of food.

"Okay, leave the grain collection to me." After Jun Shiyi reminded Su Tang, he felt that Su Tang should know.

Sending Jun Shiyi away, Su Tang thought about whether to contact Ji Siyuan, whether it was businessmen stockpiling grain, or the court buying grain for disaster relief, the bottom line was that there was not enough food in the country, and price increases were inevitable.
