At dusk, the summer sky is still slightly bright.
A mighty convoy of grain transporters entered the city from Dongshuimen, all the way from Imperial Street to the Imperial City, and finally unloaded all the grain into Prince Yu's Mansion.
In fact, there are not many grain transport trucks, just a few hundred horse-drawn carriages, but being pulled into the capital during this time period is very concerning.
The patrol officers escorting along the way did not hide anything. When they met people who asked, they would explain, "This is the food purchased by Prince Yu's Mansion from other places. You don't have to worry about not having enough food in Miaoweilou."
Ordinary people have little mathematical literacy and have no idea about the amount of food.
They just looked at the hundreds of cars and felt that there was a lot of food, thinking that it would be enough for at least a month or two.
When we thought of this, everyone who was originally worried felt a lot more at ease.
The queue for Miaoweilou is difficult to queue up, but people do not stop for twelve hours a day. As long as you are willing to queue, you can always wait in line within two or three hours.
If you have to choose between going hungry or waiting in line, you will definitely be willing to wait in line.
The news spread quickly, so that before the convoy arrived at Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion, Prince Yu, Princess Yu and Liu Mingqi all received the news.
Seeing the tired Xu Dongping, Princess Yu, who had wanted to get angry, could only snort coldly: "You have done a good job! What if we don't use this food for disaster relief, but use it for ourselves? You are like this They yelled, but they put our whole family on the fire grill and roasted them!"
Xu Dongping ate the roast chicken with big mouthfuls, and drank a few sips of iced milk tea from time to time. He took the time to reply: "Sister, I'm not a fool. If I don't know what Xiaoqi is thinking, how can I say that?"
"alright!"
Seeing that his wife was about to reprimand his brother-in-law again, King Yu quickly spoke first: "Dongping, where did you buy the grain from? You can still buy 20,000 shi at this time, which is really amazing!"
Now, in the whole Gyeonggi region, there is no more new grain.
As those grain merchants said before, the grain from Jiangnan will not come over at all, and many local grain merchants are waiting and watching.
If the price skyrockets, they will not be willing to deliver even if they lose money.
In the past few days, ordinary people have clearly felt that the rice shops have changed again. They seem to be closing and opening in a hurry. If you don't line up in advance, it's easy to miss out.
This is why the common people were so happy when they saw Prince Yu's grain truck entering the city just now.
"Hey, didn't I rush all the way to Hebei?" Xu Dongping said: "Now the Jiangnan region and Shandong have long known about the locust plague, and only the Hebei and Lianghu regions near the Gyeonggi region don't know about it.
I definitely can¡¯t buy it in the Lianghu area. This is taking away life-saving food from the victims. So I took a boat all the way north to Hebei, and it was quite a distance, almost reaching the border of Gansu, and then I entrusted my friends there to collect grain.
"After all, if we are close, I'm afraid that even if they agree, they will easily regret it. Only if you are far away from each other will you not change your mind so easily. It was precisely because I had gone too far that I wasted so much time. "
"Uncle, you are so smart!"
Liu Mingqi raised her thumbs with both hands and said, "With your spirit, I can take the Xu family's soap and floral essential oils for granted."
Hearing this, Xu Dongsheng next to him could not help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.
The younger brother has proved with his own actions that the Xu family and Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion stand firmly together, and that the Xu family has the ability to do well in what Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion arranges.
This is a very important symbolic meaning.
When two parties do business together, even if they are relatives, they must prioritize.
If they are too far apart from each other, then it is not about priority, but about who gets a bite of the meal.
Xu Dongping won this little face for the Xu family, so that he would not be called a freeloader.
"Fortunately, the place I want to sell this time is Jiangnan. If it were any other place, I really wouldn't dare to take this business." Xu Dongping sighed himself, "I saw too many separations between life and death along the way, like It¡¯s a day like this, it¡¯s better not to have any talents at all!¡±
Everybody nodded.
This time the locust plague has affected almost four major provinces and administrative regions, involving a population of more than 20 million.
¡°Thanks to the fact that locusts fly along the Yellow River, if they go up to Hebei and go down to Anhui, the affected area will expand again.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???, it also takes fifteen or even twenty days. "
"I understand, but what else can we do now?" Emperor Jinghe said with a heavy face: "Prepare the official warehouse to put food in! Let's deal with the Gyeonggi area first."
"Your Majesty, how much grain can be stored in the official warehouse? Five million dan? Ten million dan? There are close to 10 million people in the Gyeonggi area! In panic, no matter how much food is available, they can all be bought."
"What should we do?"
After Emperor Jinghe's words, Zhao Shou knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, I implore you to follow what Prince Yu said before and let Mr. Miao severely control those big grain merchants! Then prepare bran at the same time. Bran porridge!¡±
"Use bran porridge in the Gyeonggi region?" Emperor Jinghe immediately objected: "Absolutely not! No matter how unbearable I am, I will never do this to the people in the Gyeonggi region."
"Your Majesty where are the victims?"
"When the victims come to the Gyeonggi area, they should be treated the same." Emperor Jinghe waved his sleeves: "No need to say more, you go to Miao Taisheng and tell me the method Mingqi said last time. I agree, but be careful not to use too many methods. fierce."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Zhao Shou bowed helplessly and walked out.
Encountering such a dangerous situation, His Majesty still worried about face.
As everyone knows, if the victims get into trouble because of lack of food, then they have lost their fortune!
Who is more important, face or lizi?

It will be on the shelves at noon on Friday, and it is a done deal for the time being. It seems that there is nothing to ask for, but what is the point of me writing this paragraph?
