I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 254 Greed has a price to pay

Changping positions are opened, which is a bit different from the past.

Because of a clerk who was killed, the opening of the warehouse this time is different from the past.

It has been two or three months to buy food by ticket, and the people in Bianliang are used to the bitterness, and it is enough to buy enough food for one month each time.

But this time, even if they knew it would be open for ten days, they queued up early.

On the first day, it was a crowded scene.

Those who carry burdens, those who ride donkeys, those who drag children and women, those who ride ox carts, the entire official road of Changping warehouse is almost lined up in the inner city.

Of course, not all Bianliang people come to buy old grain from Changping warehouse...

These insects eat rats, and the rich households look down on the grain in the Changping warehouse, which is divided into half by sand and half by rice grains.

Even those wealthy families who can stand up to every fight of Baiwen have no intention of coming to compete with these bitter people... Wasn’t there a story about Dou Mi Baiwen in Bianliang City a few days ago?Enough already.

In fact, in today's Bianliang City, Zhao Xi estimated that all the food added up would be enough for nearly two years.

This is not to mention that there are still grain transport ships in Bianliang, not to mention the transport volume on the track side.

The reason why he hasn't activated it yet is because he wants to blow the bubble bigger and amplify their greed... so that it will hurt more in the end.

Of course, being able to make some money through this process, including allowing the court to make some money, is all incidental.

Could it be piggybacking?

If the exchange of old and new coins is called scraping, this time it can really be called cutting flesh.

Food has always been a hard commodity, a hard commodity that never depreciates, no matter how much you hoard, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it...

Hey, I'll know when the time comes.

The Changping warehouse is still fifty yuan, and you can buy grain with a ticket, no deception... This is a lie, and the grain itself can be considered a deception.

During the ten days of grain storage in the Changping warehouse, the shops that sold grain a few days ago all had no grain for sale.

Even the grain merchants haven't raised their prices in the past ten days, and they seem to have dropped a little... [-] cents per bucket.

Ten days is fast, and when those bitter hahas have prepared enough rations for one month, it is time to close the Changping warehouse.

however……

The imperial court and the Kaifeng government decided at the same time to extend the opening time of the Changping warehouse and prepare to sell all the stored grain in the Changping warehouse, with the purpose of replacing it with new grain.

This is the best way Fu Bi can think of to reduce the weight of the culprit...replacing new food, which is also true.

As for the price, bargaining is implemented to sell grain.That is to say, the price follows the market, which does not mean that it is the same as the market price of grain. In view of the quality of Changping warehouse grain, the price is lower than the market price.

This edict was sent to the three places with drought, Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongzhaofu, and Hebei-do, all open Changping warehouses to sell grain.

"Is this coming?"

Han Qi asked his son to stay at the Fangchengshan station for a month, just to find out the traffic volume of the track...

Alas, I knew that I was also involved in the track... Anyway, this is only the first track, the Hebei Road track, I can always get involved.

As long as one knows the capacity of the track, anyone can see how big a business opportunity this must be.

This is equivalent to another Bianhe River, which is still a Bianhe River with exclusive rights.

How is the business of the country and the dynasty? As a husband, he knows very well that the trade of goods between the north and the south, and the ships passing through the entire Bian River...

He no longer considered food, the food shortage was gone, the victims of the disaster were gone, and those greedy households would be spanked again by His Royal Highness, it was very painful.

The chief officials of the prefectures and counties came to complain to him as if they were worried about the country and the people. Han Qi looked upset... If you can't suppress your elated heart, don't come to me to sing!

In a word, act in accordance with the imperial edict without delay, otherwise he, Han Qi, would not mind being the second Wu Kui, and the imperial court's decision to kill without pardon has not been cancelled.

Eighty coins per fight!This is the price of negotiating and releasing grain in the Changping warehouse. Compared with the market price of grain, which has risen to [-] yuan per bucket, it can be justified even if it is a little sandy.

"Erlang, do you want to buy it?"

"I'm not going, I don't have that extra money! My third son went to see it. There is a notice in Changping warehouse. Next month, it will be [-] cash as usual, and the court will release new grain."

"But I heard from those merchants that there is no new grain in Bianliang."

"Why is there no new food? My second uncle is working at the pier, seeing the grain ship come ashore..."

This kind of dialogue is staged in every corner of Bianliang City, and the entanglement and hesitation are the most at this time.

"Third Grandfather, I heard that those merchants have all gone to Changping Warehouse to buy grain, the carriage of the brigade brigade. This is to buy our grain!"

"Second boy, don't shout! What did you buy? Didn't the court say that there is new grain? They bought the old grain, and we can make new grain next month."

The problem is whether there is new food, no one knows.

"Third Grandpa, is there any new food in Bianliang?"

"Yes, the government won't ignore the people, and those gentlemen won't ignore the people either."

Encourage yourself so that you will not loot the food in the Changping warehouse.

But on the whole road leading to Changping warehouse, there has been no interruption of people, they are all watching, watching those merchants happy to buy the food from Changping warehouse, and pulling away in big carts and small carts... This is all my hard life Human rations!
Zhao Xi still underestimated the greed of this group of people. He thought that the old grain in the Changping warehouse would be emptied gradually even if they deliberately let the court reveal the truth.

No matter what, it should be able to persist for ten days.

Unexpectedly, it only took three days, as if there was no room for the court to react, and the Changping warehouse was emptied directly.

And when the Changping warehouse was being emptied, he shouted: Changping warehouse is out of food!

Still walking and shouting all the way...

Are you in such a hurry to court death?

"Your Highness, I thought that they should have stored too much food..."

Too much food?There is too much food on Lao Tzu's side.

In a disaster year, snacks are not sold well, and the snack shops in Bianliang City are already full of rice.

Even the barracks of the guard battalion were full of food.

Including Jingzhao Mansion and Hebei Road, all the six stores have vacated space to store food at this time.

Zhao Xi also almost ran out of places to pile them up.

Well, let's get started!

"Zizheng, you went to the political affairs hall, met the rich minister, and took the imperial edict and rushed to Hebei Road."

"Go to the Forbidden Army camp first, mobilize the elite soldiers trained in the guard battalion by order of the Privy Council, and rush to the Daming Mansion to meet Mr. Han."

"Han Xianggong will preside over the affairs of Hebei Road!"

"Zirong, you and Zizheng are the same, you can rush to Jingzhao Mansion!"

"Uncle Hui, divide the transportation team into three groups, hold my warrant, and store grain in all the stores in the three places. After Zizheng and Zi are delivered to their positions, they will quickly transport the stored grain to Changping warehouses in various places."

"In addition, at Mao's time five days later, all the shops put the grain in place and sold it at a price of [-] Wen per bucket, which will be reduced to [-] Wen per bucket three days later."

"Ming Zhong, mobilize some rail carriages, load half of the compartments, and send grain to the prefectures and counties in the three places. Remember to open the cabin door so that everyone can see the grain."

Greed has a price to pay.
