    Li Ji Liang Store is a time-honored brand established by Jiangdonghui.

    ???????????????????? However, the scale of Li Ji Liang Store has always been small. For decades, it has been just a shop, and it only sells a single type of local rice.

    Early that morning, shopkeeper Li came to the He family on Qianbaimen Street.

    They are both grain merchants, but shopkeeper Li is different from the Chen family and the dozen or so large grain merchants.

    The Chen family and the dozen or so large grain merchants are the initiators and leaders of this grain dominance, while small grain merchants like Shopkeeper Li are passive followers.

    On the one hand, it was because of the secret threats from the Chen family and Da Liang, and on the other hand, they themselves were greedy, so they just half-heartedly started hoarding food.

    It is also because of the participation of these small grain merchants that the food shortage in Yinjiang market has become more serious.

    ¡°As of yesterday, the lowest-quality brown rice has cost as much as 50 cents per catty, and good rice is even more expensive. You can¡¯t even find even half a catty of good rice on the market.

    But for some reason, the higher the price of food rises, the more panicked Shopkeeper Li becomes.

    Shopkeeper Li always feels that if he continues to speculate like this, something will happen, and something big will happen.

    So when he gets up early every morning, the first thing he does is to find the shopkeepers of several nearby grain stores, firstly to hug together to keep warm, and secondly to find out about the market.

    When shopkeeper Li arrived, the He family had already gathered several grain store shopkeepers.

    After greeting each other, shopkeeper Li said: "Lao He, what's the market today?"

    "I said hello over there." Lao He, the shopkeeper of the He family, said with a grimace, "I said it was going to increase again!"

    "What? It's going to go up again?" Storekeeper Li immediately shouted, "Now the price can't be sold anymore. If it goes up again, who will the grain in our hands be sold to?"

    "If you can't sell it, then you can't sell it." Another shopkeeper said, "The worst we can do is fall back to the beginning. We won't lose money anyway, right? But what if it succeeds? Then we will make a lot of money."

    Shopkeeper Li said with a sad face: "But I always feel flustered."

    "What do we have to panic about?" the shopkeeper just now said again, "If the sky falls, they are the tall ones who are holding it up. If the King of Hell really wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, then we are just monkeys. The Ma Zhuchen family and the dozen or so other families are just like the monkeys."  It's a chicken! Why are you panicking? What are you panicking about? Dear shopkeepers, today we still follow the old rules, play eight rounds of mahjong first!"

    However, today¡¯s eight rounds of mahjong are destined to fail.

    As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter suddenly ran in and shouted: "It's the shopkeeper, it's the shopkeeper, it's the shopkeeper!"

    "What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about?" Shopkeeper He said angrily, "I'm not deaf, I can hear! What happened?"

    "Shopkeeper, something big has happened!" the servant replied breathlessly. "There are rumors everywhere on the street that King Zhong Yan has ordered 200,000 tons of corn from the United States and has shipped it to Zhenhai Port. It will be shipped from Shanghai and Hangzhou.  The Ningbo Railway is transporting it to Jiangbei. It is said that it will be sold to the public after it is transported to Jiangbei, and it will only sell for half a cent per catty!"

    "What did you say?" Shopkeeper He said dumbfounded.

    Shopkeeper Wang and others also looked at each other: "Half a cent per catty?!"

    After a long while, shopkeeper He finally came to his senses and shouted: "Ah Kuan, you are fucking a ghost, half a cent per catty, how can there be such cheap food in the world?"

    Ah Kuan scratched his head and said, "But Master, the neighbors are spreading the news."

    At this time, shopkeeper Wang suddenly said: "Whether it is true or not, you can find out if you go to Jiangbei Railway Station and have a look?"

    "Yes, yes, yes, you will know after you go and take a look." Shopkeeper He slapped his forehead and immediately turned around and walked out. Shopkeeper Wang and other small grain merchants quickly followed.

    ¡­¡­

    The news about Kuan has lagged behind.

    In fact, the first car of corn has already been transported to Jiangbei Railway Station and is already on sale.

    In the station, thousands of citizens have lined up in a long snake-like queue, and more citizens are coming from the districts under Yinjiang's rule.

    Jiangbei Patrol House Chief Inspector Lu Rengui felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, so he summoned all the patrol officers and came to maintain order.

    However, after maintaining order for less than half an hour, Yinjiang Police Chief Cao Ziying arrived with a brigade of patrol officers, and then drove Lu Rengui and others away without explanation.

    Lu Rengui burst into tears as he came out of the train station dejectedly.

    God, this is in Jiangbei, Jiangbei is his territory, okay?

    "But it's useless to cry anymore. There is no foreign master to support him."He, Lu Rengui, is nothing like that.

    Not to mention the heartbroken Mr. Lu, the citizens who had bought food were laughing so hard that they couldn¡¯t close their mouths.

    "Brother, are you here to buy food? There is really food, there is really food, but it's so cheap, half a cent a pound. When the price of rice was the cheapest before, it cost two cents a pound, but now corn only costs half a pound.  ,real!"

    ¡°To be honest, it¡¯s thanks to Mayor Zhong. Without Mayor Zhong, how could we have such cheap food?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve told you a long time ago that our Mayor Zhong is a good person, and there is no way he will just die without saving his life.¡±

    "If anyone dares to scold Mayor Zhong again from now on, I will slap him with the sole of my shoe. If I can't beat him to death, huh."

    ¡°Uncle, there¡¯s no need to crowd, there¡¯s no need to be in a hurry, there¡¯s plenty of food. Mayor Zhong bought 200,000 tons of corn from the United States. Do you know how much 200,000 tons of corn weighs?¡±

    "Enough for each of our 300,000 Yinjiang people to share 1,300 catties!"

    "Hey, we Yinjiang people are enjoying the blessing of Mayor Zhong."

    Walking out of the train station carrying more or less bags of corn, the smiling citizens began to praise their Mayor Zhong in a fancy way. These people had completely forgotten that just a moment ago, they were all doing this behind their backs.  They called Zhong Yi the King of Hell, and even worse, they even cursed Zhong Yi for giving birth to a son without having sex.

    When Shopkeeper He and Shopkeeper Li arrived, what they heard were fancy compliments for Zhong Yi.

    ¡°Seeing the citizens walking out of the station with smiles on their faces, and then looking at the bulging grain bags on their backs, the faces of several shopkeepers immediately fell, and they were finished.

    However, these shopkeepers still refused to give up and immediately forced their way into the train station.

    After entering the train station, several shopkeepers looked up and saw a row of box trains parked on the platform. The side doors of these box trains had been opened, and several military police were standing inside the doors, using wooden rakes to remove them.  Corn, the golden corn kernels flowed out of the car door like running water, making several shopkeepers dizzy.

    At this point, several shopkeepers finally gave up completely. It was over, and their dream of getting rich was shattered!

    Now it¡¯s better to go back and sell your own rice at a discount, otherwise what else can you do?  If the city government really sells out 200,000 tons of corn at half a cent per catty, all their rice will be lost!  Rice also has a shelf life. Over time, bugs will grow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
