Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, how could he not know the price of food in Huangshan Town?

Not to mention Huangshan Town, he had heard about the food prices in the entire north.

Roughly speaking, the price of food in the south is about seven cents per pound.

When we get to the north, it's almost thirteen or four cents, or even fifteen or six cents per catty.

And ever since Zhu Gaoxu announced that he would buy grain on a large scale and double the price.

Now the price of food in Huangshan Town has risen to thirty cents per catty.

Just one tael of silver and one thousand penny.

One tael of silver can buy more than 30 jins of grain, and 10,000 taels of silver can buy 330,000 to 40,000 jins of grain.

But the price has doubled.

It is equivalent to saying that Zhu Gaoxu lost more than thirty kilograms of grain just because of one word.

How many victims can this save?

However, Zhu Gaoxu did not express much about this.

He waved his hand and signaled Ada to hurry up and do it.

After Ah Da left, Zhu Gaoxu walked outside the study and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.

"After this, I will completely offend all the grain merchants in the south, and the forces behind it will also be offended by me."

"The merchants in the north should also suffer some losses, but I don't think it will be too much. I want you to eat meat, although it is not much."

"But it doesn't matter. I will find a way to compensate you. As for the scholars in the south, I can only say sorry."

After finishing speaking, Jin Buyi started strolling in the yard with his hands behind his back.

On the other hand, the news that Ada bought grain with ten thousand taels of silver has been spread.

And the price is exactly thirty cents per catty.

Now, the hornet's nest has been completely stung, and it's really exciting.

The entire Huangshan Town and even several state capitals from Shandong to the north.

Everyone was shocked by Zhu Gaoxu's move.

Before, some people didn't believe that Zhu Gaoxu was really willing to bleed.

Now one can't help but believe it.

For a time, all the big grain merchants came to Huangshan Town to sell grain to Zhu Gaoxu.

This also led many refugees to come to Huangshan Town, hoping to make a living.

For a time, the entire Huangshan Town was bustling with activity, and it was three times better than before the disaster.

This made Niu Jiang's face flush with excitement. He led a group of officials from other regions and walked around, standing tall from time to time.

This made other officials secretly envious.

Some officials with higher rank than Niujiang also gave a thumbs up, praising Niujiang for its efficient management.

In this regard, Niu Jiang also knew who he was and did not dare to take credit easily. He explained to everyone that everything was due to Zhu Gaoxu.

Then, he led a group of people towards the headquarters of Chihongtang.

When everyone arrived at the headquarters of Chihongtang, Zhu Gaoxu was sipping tea in the front hall.

Seeing a group of officials wearing official uniforms arriving, Zhu Gaoxu put down his tea cup.

Then seeing Niujiang on one side, Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood the purpose of this group of people.

After looking around for a while, I saw that there were quite a few people there, about twenty of them.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu ordered people to add seats.

But even so, obviously not everyone can have a seat.

At a quick glance, among these people, there are three prefects and even six prefects.

There are also many Fu Cheng, who governs the people.

There is also a left-wing political official, who is a senior official of the third rank.

Among them, the fourth-rank deputy envoy from the Department of Punishment and Prosecution also came.

There is also a third-grade commander who is also here. This is a big shot with military power.

This is not an ordinary person, even if Zhu Gaoxu sees it, he cannot be ignored easily.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu could only sit in the front seat and pretend to be calm while sipping the tea.

As for who is standing and who is sitting, he won't care. Let these old fritters take care of everything themselves.

Needless to say, there are only a few officials of the third rank, everyone has a seat.

Afterwards, the others sat down according to their rank.

It is worth mentioning that originally, regardless of rank or seniority, there was definitely no place for Niu Jiang to sit.

However, for the sake of Zhu Gaoxu, everyone still gave up the last position to him.

And a fifth-level fellow stood aside.

Even the fifth-grade Guan'er is just standing aside, let alone others.

It can be said that the small front office gathered two-thirds of the official power of the entire Shandong province.

Among the top officials, in addition to the governor of the second rank, there are also the chief envoys from the second rank to the left and right. The inspector of the third rank is unexpected, and basically all the officials of the first three ranks are here.

When everyone found their place, they all saluted Zhu Gaoxu.

"Let's see you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, raised his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a seat."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone thanked him again and then slowly sat down.

Of course, officials without seats can only stand.

Although Niu Jiang, who was sitting at the end, was frightened, after all, many officials of higher rank than him were still standing.

However, I was secretly proud of myself, secretly thinking that following Zhu Gaoxu’s move first was a correct move.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the first place, was too lazy to care about Niu Jiang's thoughts at this time.

After picking up the tea cup and taking a brief sip, Zhu Gaoxu slowly said: "I believe everyone knows the reason why I asked you to come here, right?"
