Alien Lord

Seeing this incident, to be honest, Wang Ming was really moved in his heart.

It was the first time for Wang Ming to experience such things as common people voluntarily standing up to help troublemakers regardless of their own safety. At that time, his whole heart was warm.

The fact that ordinary people can take the initiative like this shows that their painstaking efforts were not in vain.

"Hehe, this is really rare. It seems that we did the right thing this time." Lin Ze laughed.

Only when people really consider for the common people, the common people will take the initiative to stand up.

"It's a pity that the price of grain is still as high as twenty silver coins. In the past, only six or seven silver coins could buy a hundred catties of rice. Now the price of twenty silver coins is still a bit higher, but I just think about it again." It is impossible to lower the price of food in a short time." Lin Ze sighed.

Lin Ze could directly set the grain price at six or seven silver coins, but he dare not do so easily now.

Setting the grain price at 20 silver coins may offend some people, but the amount will not be large, and because there is still a profit, the counterattack will not be strong.

However, if Lin Ze directly set the price of grain at six or seven silver coins, he would directly offend all the grain merchants in Chu State, no, not only Chu State, but also the grain merchants in those countries around Chu State.

And behind the grain merchants are all powerful families, that is to say, Lin Ze will offend all the families around him at that time. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is 100% to offend the families of the ninth floor .

With so many aristocratic families becoming Lin Ze's enemies, Lin Ze will not be able to hold on until then.

To be honest, even if Lin Ze had enough power to fight against the alliance of these aristocratic families, he would not set the price of grain at a price as low as six or seven silver coins all at once.

Why?

Because it is the most stupid and incompetent performance to directly confront all the aristocratic families like this. A truly smart person will choose a way to get the best of both worlds to solve this problem.

For example, some methods can be used to limit the high food price, or when there is a food famine in early summer, a large amount of food can be transferred from the seed world of the plane into the food market in time to quell the upcoming food shortage.

And if Lin Ze insists, although he can win and lower the food price, the result is that a considerable number of people are alienated from Lin Ze, and there will even be a large number of unemployed because of this, because there will be many aristocratic families because of This time things went bankrupt, how could they care about the servants around them and the tenants who helped them farm the land at that time.

Just like the current high housing prices, many people know that the current housing prices are bubbles that will burst sooner or later. However, no one directly punctures it because of this, because once the bubble is punctured, then But it will set off a huge disaster, and countless people will go bankrupt because of it.

No one can be responsible for such serious consequences, not even the nine elders above.

"My lord, you have tried your best." Wang Ming comforted him, and he also understood the problem.

"Hehe, forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's talk about Yu Deen and the others." Lin Ze changed the subject.

"What method does Yu Deen use now to buy our food?"

Lin Ze's Huimin grain store also has a purchase restriction, but the purchase restriction is not small, one hundred catties.

One hundred catties of grain is enough to feed a family of five for about ten days, and you can buy more after eating.

(Ordinary people in mainland China are physically stronger than ordinary people on Earth, so they have a much larger appetite. An adult has to eat three or four catties of grain a day to be full.)

"This time, Yu De'en and the others did a great job, and they used a large number of soldiers to buy from our grain store." Wang Ming shook his head and said.

Yu Deen's move was also included in Lin Ze's calculations, so Wang Ming was not surprised.

"This Yu Deen, this time, he was smarter for a while.

" Lin Ze said with a smile.

Yu Deen has more than 500,000 troops in his hands, and there are more than 80,000 in Linsha City alone. Therefore, even if Lin Ze adopts the purchase restriction method, Yu Deen can still buy a lot of food.

"Wang Ming, tell me that all the grain stores will give preferential treatment to those old and weak women first, and they will only be able to buy those strong men at the end." Lin Ze said with a smirk.

"My lord, you are going to make things difficult for Yu Deen." Wang Ming laughed, he knew that it was Lin Ze who was going to make things difficult for Yu Deen.

"Hehe..." Lin Ze smiled and didn't answer anything, but this is the best answer.

Time soon came to seven o'clock in the evening, Yu Deen sat in the study, looking at the door with a trace of nervousness in his heart, he was waiting for the information from Du Jin.

Soon, Du Jin's figure appeared in Yu Deen's sight.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Jin immediately reported: "My lord, this time the plan went well. Although Lin Lixuan saw through our plan to send soldiers to queue up to buy food in the middle, he also made some restrictions, such as letting the old and the weak Such measures as buying first, then buying for mature men, but this can’t change our plan to empty out his granary, and our people still bought grain smoothly.”

Du Jin's face was full of excitement. At first, he thought that the plan this time would not be implemented so smoothly. After Lin Ze discovered his actions, he would definitely find a solution.

However, I don't know if Lin Ze had no choice, or he thought he had enough food, and then he didn't stop the soldiers he sent to buy food, which made Du Jin a little puzzled.

For a moment, Du Jin wondered if there was some conspiracy or trick, or if Lin Ze had a lot of food in his hands, so he was not afraid of sending a large number of people to buy it.

However, as soon as such an idea appeared, it was denied by Du Jin.

In order for the plan to be implemented smoothly this time, Du Jin calculated the grain output of Shazhou last year in detail, and finally found that the grain production of Shazhou at the end of last year was actually in short supply. Therefore, Du Jin's worries in his heart were completely let go.

In his view, this is just Lin Ze trying to hold on, at most it is a dying struggle.

"Okay, very good, Du Jin, you must empty out the food in Lin Lixuan's hands, and let him know what will happen if he is right with me." Yu Deen said excitedly.

Seeing that Lin Ze was going to be unlucky, he was really happy in his heart.

"Yes, my lord!" Du Jin smiled and withdrew.

On the second day, on the third day... Lin Ze's Huimin Grain Store was always full of grain. Once it was about to be sold out, a large amount of grain would be delivered to Huimin Grain Store immediately.

Seeing that Huimin Grain Store has such abundant grain reserves, and the price of grain has remained at 20 silver coins, so, slowly, the panic caused by the skyrocketing grain price in Linsha City, quickly spread. After being appeased, the common people in Linsha City were no longer in a hurry to buy food, and their lives returned to calm again.

This time, compared to the past six months, the common people have more confidence in their hearts. After all, the price of food has been reduced to twenty silver coins, and their burden is much easier.

Correspondingly, the number of people queuing up to buy grain has been reduced by more than half. It stands to reason that there should not be many people queuing in front of the Huimin grain store to buy grain. However, unexpectedly, the people queuing in front of the Huimin grain store to buy grain Still as much.

These people were all sent by Du Jin to buy grain. In order to achieve Governor Yu Deen's plan to completely empty out every grain of grain in Lin Ze's granary, Du Jin did not dare to be sloppy at all.

All the people sent by Du Jin bought the grain smoothly. Looking at the mountain of grain in the warehouse, it stands to reason that Du Jin should be smiling. The previous smile has disappeared, replaced by a dignified face.

For three consecutive days, Du Jin bought countless grains, and even the granary used to house the grains was full. However, Lin Ze still didn't see any signs of running out of grains, and he still sold countless grains every day. By this time, Du Jin already understood that he and Governor Yu De'en were still tricked by Lin Ze this time.

"It's impossible. Even if Lin Lixuan gave all the grain in the sandbank, he still wouldn't be able to sell so much grain. What's going on?" Du Jin's mind was full of question marks.

At this time, a man who was about the same age as Du Jin, who was full of literati in the mountains, appeared beside Du Jin, looked at the grain in the warehouse that was about to fill the entire warehouse, and said to Du Jin with a smile: "Mr. Du, look You are in trouble here!"

"Huh!" Du Jin just glanced at the people around him, and snorted without curiosity.

"Zhou Qiao, you are here to ridicule me." Du Jin said angrily.

Zhou Qiao, the person in charge of the Confucian Sect on Shazhou, this time he followed the order of the Seventh Prince to deal with Lin Ze.

"Hehe, how come, we are on the same boat now." Zhou Qiao said with a smile as she shook the maid's fan in her hand.

"Is there any news about your visit this time?" Du Jin didn't say anything more, but directly asked Zhou Qiao why he came this time.

"Mr. Du, there is no good news for Mr. Zhou here, only one bad news." This time, there was no smile on Zhou Qiao's face, but a solemn expression.

"Oh, could it be..." Du Jin's face was also ugly, and he immediately had some guesses in his heart.

"Yes, Mr. Du, this time you and Governor Yu were indeed fooled by Lin Lixuan. He has more than forty warehouses full of grain in Baiyu City." Said the earth-shattering news.
