The grain in Jiangzhou is already very expensive.

In normal times, especially in a grain-producing area like Jiangzhou, the price of grain has always been very low.

It can reach one tael of silver for more than 200 kilograms of unhusked rice.

That is, more than 150 kilograms of husked rice plus 50 kilograms of rice bran.

Just talking about rice, not counting food, oil, clothing and shelter, it is enough for a family.

But now the price is almost one tael of silver for two kilograms of rice.

Although the locusts have come, it is not really the end of the world. There is also grain in other places.

It can be transported here in a month at most.

But at this point, it is obvious that someone is hyping it up, and someone is taking the opportunity to raise the price of rice and create panic.

Most people follow the crowd. If others rush to buy, then they will also rush to buy, not to mention this kind of daily necessities, which has led to the complete uncontrollability of grain prices.

At this moment, Ji Changan stood outside the square and saw a huge crowd that almost drowned the entire Jiangzhou government office. The noisy voices below were one after another.

"Why hasn't the government provided disaster relief? The grain in the market is too expensive. Those hateful merchants only know how to make money from the national disaster."

"Yes, is there something wrong with the government? I heard that there was a fire in the government office a few days ago. Could it be that something really happened to the warehouse?"

"No way, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has sent two princes here, so nothing will happen?"

"I heard that the court has no grain." Of course, there seemed to be some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

As soon as these people opened their mouths, they were spotted by Luowang hidden in the crowd.

They said such things in this situation, and there was a high probability that they had ulterior motives.

Ji Changan walked up to the high platform on the square and started to speak directly: "Fellow villagers, please be quiet.

This locust plague was unexpected, but His Majesty cares about the people and has specially sent me to provide disaster relief.

The court has enough food, but the officials in Jiangzhou are lazy and have not yet opened the warehouse.

So it will take some time to transport it. After three days, the price of food will be stable. Don't worry.

In these three days, the court will set up porridge stalls in the disaster-stricken areas of Jiangzhou.

If you can't eat enough, you can go to the porridge stalls to get porridge."

The people below immediately quieted down when they heard it. It didn't matter what the emperor was doing to provide disaster relief or what mess it was.

The most important thing was Ji Changan's two words. After three days, the price of food will be stable.

In these three days, set up porridge stalls.

"I heard that this is His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. He established the Zhenwu Division."

"Yes, the Zhenwu Division has been established. Our Jiangzhou is not like when the Six Gates were there. The Zhenwu Guards in the Zhenwu Division are all good people."

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is also a good person. His Majesty is also kind and considerate of us.

It's just that those officials are all corrupt officials."

The people below were talking about it.

In the universal values ​​of the people, or in everyone's universal values, His Majesty the Emperor is wise, after all, he is the man of destiny.

If he made any mistakes, it was because he was deceived by treacherous officials.

Not to mention that he got the guarantee from the spokesperson of the imperial power.

Now there is porridge to drink again, so there is naturally no problem.

Although the porridge in the porridge stall set up by Ji Changan is not clear, in order to prevent the people with food from coming to get porridge.

Therefore, many small stones were added to it, which made it difficult for ordinary people to swallow.

Only those who are really desperate will drink porridge, while those who are not desperate will at least think about the stable food supply after three days.

Of course, if you have food yourself, you will also drink this, and of course you are afraid of poverty, and Ji Changan will not refuse.

As for Ji Changan's food, in addition to the food given by those families, all the gifts given by those families were pawned in exchange for food.

Of course, this amount is far from enough.

But fortunately, after discovering that the fourth brother purchased food.

Ji Changan also asked the money gang to purchase some from various places, although the time was relatively short, resulting in not much food purchased.

But taking out a part of it, there is no problem to deal with these three days.

Just when Ji Changan was thinking, he saw the assassins hiding in the crowd as civilians taking action.

A master, several innate, and more than a dozen peak acquired strongmen rushed towards Ji Changan with weapons.

However, Ji Changan did not change his expression when he saw the assassination, but instead focused his attention on the people.

Since it was an assassination, there must be someone watching the assassination, and Luowang could tell.

And seeing that Yuchi Gong and the Xuanjia Army around Ji Changan reacted the moment the assassin appeared.

They were originally the emperor's personal soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial guards of the capital.

EvenBefore the assassins made their move, the soldiers of the Black Armor Army had already locked onto the assassins with unusual movements.

Their hands had already been on the hilts of their swords. Therefore, before the assassins took a few steps, they were killed by the Black Armor Army and Yuchi Gong.

Not to mention, even if they broke through the first level, there were still the protection of Jingwei, the Six Sword Slaves, Zhao Gao and others behind them.

The assassins caused a panic among the people below, and everyone began to scream and flee.

"Don't worry, they are just some cult members, keep order." Ji Changan said loudly.

Then Ji Changan whispered to Zhao Gao beside him to make arrangements. He had already discovered those who quietly left in the crowd during the chaos.

"Let the Six Sword Slaves prepare. The ordinary Luowang may not be powerful enough, so let them deal with it."

"Yes." Zhao Gao nodded and waved his hand.

The six swordsmen hiding in the crowd received the order and began to lead the people of Luowang to track down those who had evil intentions.

At this moment, in the house of the Su family, the president of Changyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Su Huaixi was enjoying the dance of eight dancers in the house. This locust plague did not affect him at all.

On the contrary, he took advantage of this locust plague to exchange part of the food in his hands for silver and the land of those poor people.

The power of their Su family has not decreased but increased. These disasters are not disasters at all for their big capital, but opportunities, opportunities to get more benefits.

"I didn't expect those poor guys to have money to make. This locust plague is really amazing."

Then Su Huaixi put his hands together, slid the Buddhist beads, and said, "Amitabha, the blue sun has passed, the red sun is about to pass, and the white day is not coming."

But soon, his son ran up and said, "Dad, Ji Changan said that he would lower the grain price within three days."

This young master of the Su family has no respect for the Sixth Prince of Dajin, and calls him by his name at home.

Of course, this is nothing, after all, this is at home.

"Oh? I remember that the Sixth Prince also exchanged the gifts we sent for food?" Su Huaixi half-squinted his eyes, but he didn't see Ji Changan's flattering look at all.

Instead, he had an air of wealth and nobility: "I originally thought that these things would be wasted to the Sixth Prince, but I didn't expect that they would actually return to our hands.

This is what the locust plague has brought us."

Su Huaixi shook his head when he said this: "Where is there any food in Jiangzhou now? We have to transfer it from other places.

It will probably take a month to meet such a large amount.

As for the food in Jiangzhou, it has long been distributed by major forces, waiting to be sold at a high price.

After the food of the victims is completely consumed, it will be the best time to make a move.

I want to see how the Sixth Prince of Dajin can fulfill his boast. .

Are you going to come to my house to beg us, hahahaha.

This is a disgrace to the court. Once this happens, there is no need to impeach him. He no longer has the ability to ascend the throne. "

"Father, the Sixth Prince is probably anxious to prove himself, but it's a pity that he is still too young.

By the way, a force has appeared in Jiangzhou Wulin, called the Money Gang.

It seems to be uniting Jiangzhou Wulin. I'm afraid the purpose is to deal with us. Do we need to care about it? "

"It doesn't matter. What martial arts are there in Jiangzhou? They are just some small forces.

But dealing with those grass-roots, there is no benefit even if you win. There is really no benefit and it's not worth it. "Su Huaixi shook his head.

Although these families seem to belong to the court faction, they have recruited many masters.

Therefore, they are united and have squeezed the living space of Jiangzhou Wulin. The martial arts forces here are not much stronger than those in the capital.

"Isn't there still the head of the Zhenwu Division? When the time comes, when the Sixth Prince comes to us for help, let him destroy the Jinqian Gang, and the dilemma will be solved, right?" "Father, this plan is wise to kill with a borrowed knife." "Nianchu, you still need to learn from me. The entire Su family, the entire Changyuan Chamber of Commerce, the entire Jiangzhou forces, and even the Jiangzhou faction in the court. These are all left to you by father. When I enter Yuncheng, you will be the one to take the helm." "Yes, father." Su Nianchu was a little excited. This family business will belong to him in the future.
