The Beijing Grain Store.
There are long queues at the entrance of every grain store, and banners are also hung at the entrances of these grain stores.
"Relief to the victims?"
"Be of one mind with the people?"
"The emperor's grace is so great?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the banners hanging at the entrances of the grain stores and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He is very clear about the price of food in the capital. A few days ago, it was still selling for two hundred cents per catty, but now it is all selling for one penny per catty, and each of these slogans is very nice.
"It's interesting, let's go and see it together."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said to Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang beside him.
After saying this, Emperor Hongzhi looked around at the long queues, and soon settled on an old man who looked to be in his sixties.
Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward and asked: "Old man, is it true that the food in these grain stores only sells for one penny per catty?"
¡°No matter how old I am, I have never heard of this grain being sold for a penny per pound.¡±
The old man who was questioned by Emperor Hongzhi was slightly startled at first, then looked at Emperor Hongzhi carefully and replied: "You will know from one look that you must be from other places."
¡°This capital city not only has one penny per catty of food, but also one penny per catty of meat.¡±
"I have good eyesight. I came to Beijing from other places to do business."
"There is still a penny and a pound of meat in this capital?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, of course there is, but it is sea fish meat, but this sea fish meat is also meat, not meat."
When the old man heard this, he showed an air of being slightly superior to outsiders in front of people from the capital, and pinched his gray mustache with his hand.
"Then you really need to take a closer look. What kind of food is this penny per pound?"
Hongzhi nodded solemnly and said.
"It's all the best rice. The rice from the south of the Yangtze River doesn't even have any sand, but each person is limited to three kilograms per day."
"Such strange things happen every year, especially this year. Don't you know? Some time ago, this grain could be sold for two hundred pence per catty. Now these black-hearted profiteers don't know whether they have a bad conscience or feel that they are I have done too many bad things and am afraid that I will not end well in the future, so I sell grain for a penny per pound now."
When talking about these grain merchants, the old man not only showed no gratitude at all, but also cursed these grain merchants. It was obvious that the grain sold for two hundred coins per catty really hurt everyone.
"That's it~"
"Thanks for letting me know."
Emperor Hongzhi pretended to be suddenly enlightened, but in his heart he was thinking about what kind of waist these grain merchants were buying in their gourds.
A few days ago, grain was sold for two hundred cents per catty, but now it is only sold for one cent per catty. Although it is also a limited purchase, it is in line with their slogan anyway.
In times of famine, selling grain for a penny per pound is almost unprecedented.
Merchants who deal in grain would be considered bodhisattva-hearted if they did not raise prices at the end of the famine, and would be called great virtuous people. Now these grain merchants sell grain for a penny per catty, and all of them are like Buddha, cutting meat and feeding them. Eagle, the rhythm of becoming a Buddha immediately.
"What kind of medicine are they selling in the gourd?"
This is a question that Emperor Hongzhi has been thinking about in the past few days.
He really couldn¡¯t figure it out. There was no reason for these grain merchants to sell grain for a penny per pound.
This grain is not sea fish. Sea fish will rot and deteriorate immediately if left for a long time. If the catch is large, it is possible to dispose of it for a penny per catty.
But this rice is different. It is durable and can be stored for a year and a half without any problems.
Even if these grain merchants are no longer able to sell two hundred coins per catty during the current famine, these grains can be slowly sold at a fair price after being put away. After all, everyone needs to eat, and it is impossible to live on eating sea fish all the time. Go down.
Originally, Emperor Hongzhi also estimated that these grain merchants might not be able to hold on and began to sell at reduced prices, but he never expected that the price of this grain would drop to one penny per pound.
It felt to Emperor Hongzhi that these grain merchants who used to eat human flesh and drink human blood suddenly changed their personalities and turned into living Bodhisattvas who sacrificed themselves for others. The rice from the south of the Yangtze River was sold for one penny per catty. Emperor Hongzhi knew it without doing any math.Some grain merchants will go to grandma's house with losses.
This is so unusual that Emperor Hongzhi has been thinking about it.
I want to find out what purpose and plan these people have.
"What do you think?"
After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi also asked Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Zhu Houzhao and others around him.
"This is a good thing. These grain merchants sell grain for a penny a pound. The turbulent situation in the entire capital has suddenly settled down, and people's hearts have stabilized. This famine is over, which is really gratifying."
Liu Jian replied with a smile.
"This is indeed a gratifying thing. For a penny and a pound of food, these profiteers still have some conscience."
Li Dongyang also nodded and said.
"It's a great good thing that these grain merchants can change their past mistakes."
Xie Qian thought for a while and said.
After hearing the three people¡¯s answers, Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly.
No matter how you look at it now, these grain merchants selling grain for a penny a pound are very helpful in stabilizing people's hearts. In the era of famine, as long as there is food, everything is easy and nothing will happen.
One penny per catty of grain, although each person is limited to three catties per day, is enough to feed and drink a family of several people. In addition, there is also one penny per catty of sea fish, and there is no problem in surviving the current famine. .
Once the food from the south arrives, you won¡¯t have to worry about it being messed up. As Liu Jian said, this famine has been over.
As for Zhu Houzhao, he squinted his little eyes and kept turning his eyes as he looked around in a grain store. When he saw the banners at the entrance of the grain store, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. smile.
"What other tricks can these profiteers do?"
"Selling grain for a penny per catty is still the best Jiangnan rice. These grain merchants must be losing blood. With their urine, how could they do such a stupid thing."
¡°They definitely have follow-up actions, but it¡¯s really hard to figure out what kind of medicine they are selling in this gourd.¡±
Zhu Houzhao was thinking rapidly in his mind. Like Emperor Hongzhi, he couldn't figure out why these grain merchants sold the grain at a penny a pound.
"It seems that I still need to ask Lao Liu later, he will definitely know." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
