Wei and Jin cooks

The county magistrate thought there was another evil spirit coming from his place, so he immediately sent someone to investigate.

Then various news came back to the county government. It was not just a group of people buying grain, but many people. Just like the goddess scattering flowers, people in every village were shouting hard. What frightened the county magistrate most was that there were actually The villagers in this village help each other.

This was more terrifying than the collusion between local gentry and businessmen, because it represented the people's will. The county magistrate couldn't sit still, and immediately took people to the countryside to investigate in person.

Then he found out about Zhao's paper mill. Although it was the general's property, the paper mill went to the countryside to collect grain. He suspected that the management of this paper mill in their county was fishy.

I wanted to check again, but I heard that the villagers from the next village were helping to collect grain and were working in Liulicang.

County Magistrate: ... Zhifang may have many surnames, but there is only one Liulifang in the world, and the surname is Zhao.

Just as he was wondering, the government officials who had gone out to investigate also came to him one after another. Coincidentally, the different forces purchasing grain in different villages turned out to be all named Zhao.

Well, the county magistrate is relieved. It turns out that this is not just a workshop doing something random, but following orders.

But why does the general want to buy food?

The county magistrate's eyes lit up, he knew, because of the stabilization of prices!

This was also taught in class, by Mr. Fu himself, and he remembered it very clearly.

Yes, there are so many profiteers on the market. In order to prevent the people from suffering from low prices, the general ordered people to collect grains to stabilize prices!

The county magistrate felt relieved and stopped interfering in the matter. He just let people keep an eye on it, as long as no big problems occurred.

The grain merchants were stunned. They didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to show up halfway.

Like the county magistrate, they naturally quickly found out about Zhao Hanzhang's property. They couldn't afford to offend this person. The grain merchants gritted their teeth and could only buy grain at the same price, fearing that they would not be able to harvest it if it was too late.

Even if they pay the same price, it will be difficult for them to grab grain from Zhao's workshop.

On one side was the grain merchant who had suppressed grain prices, and on the other side was their beloved general. At the same price, of course they chose to sell grain to the general.

The grain merchants had no choice but to raise the price, and they could not raise it any less, otherwise one stone would cost them one or two pence more. Naturally, they chose the beloved general.

Under such circumstances, grain prices rose, and even because of the rush to buy grain, many grain dealers made bids on the spot without having time to unify, so there was a strange phenomenon that the purchase price in the countryside that day was higher than the selling price in grain stores.

However, the grain they are purchasing now is not for sale now, most of it will be sold from February to April next year.

At that time, the wheat had not been harvested and the grain reserves were exhausted, so grain prices would rise for a period of time.

But grain... To be honest, in the peaceful years, grain merchants wanted to become bigger and stronger, and they followed the path of small profits but quick turnover. The world was about to settle down, and the visible huge profits in grain were only in the past two years. As time goes by, their chances are getting smaller and smaller.

During the war years, grain merchants took great risks and great profits.

However, the vast majority of grain merchants still hope for peace in the world. In the chaotic years, although the profits are great, the cost may be lives.

Many counties have similar experiences to this county.

Some counties are poor and Zhao Hanzhang's workshop cannot be opened, but it doesn't matter. There is always one county in a county that has these workshops, and they infiltrate into the surrounding areas.

After all, there are not many people who have extra grain to sell at the moment. The girl said that each workshop should at least store enough grain for one warehouse. That is the minimum, but it does not say the maximum, so the more the better.

With the idea of ​​making a contribution, they used all the profits they could hand over within three months to buy food.

In addition, in order to buy more grain, the workshop managers worked hard to sell goods, wholesale and retail, and gave away whatever they bought. This was so exciting that some grain merchants couldn't help but spend money to buy some things produced by Zhao's workshop.

Then the workshop manager turned around and took the money to buy grain.

Zhao Hanzhang never expected that he could single-handedly raise the price of food in the entire Northland and Kyushu and achieve the goal of stabilizing prices.

And because the managers of each workshop were too big, even if she said it couldn't be leaked, but... who couldn't see it?

So the people and officials all over the country knew that before Zhao Hanzhang could come to his senses, a wave of praise came to him. Therefore, grain merchants all over the world knew that Zhao Hanzhang did not like the low price of grain and hurt the people.

There are grain merchants in this world who are only interested in profit and calculating profits, and there are also grain merchants who know right from wrong and have righteousness in their hearts.

As a result, grain merchants immediately followed Zhao Hanzhang's footsteps and purchased grain at reasonable prices to help control grain prices.

With so much vitality, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but praise Zhao Hanzhang at the court meeting, "The world is gradually improving, the people know their kindness, businessmen know their righteousness, and the general has a benevolent heart, so why worry about the world not being governed?"

Even Xun Zu, who had always disliked Zhao Hanzhang, couldn't help but privately said to his brother: "Since the Jin Dynasty, the etiquette and morals in the world have collapsed, and people's hearts are not ancient. It is rare to see such a benevolent and righteous act. Zhao Hanzhang now has more than just won the hearts of the people." ”

Xun Fan asked him, "Do you still want to oppose her?"

Xun Zu remained silent for a while and said after a while: "She can assist His Majesty and be a minister for eternity. Why would she want to commit treason and ruin her reputation?"

Xun Fan said: "How can you not even see through this when you are half a century old? There are too many variables in that position where the little emperor sits. Without him, you are not willing to let her control the court. If things go on like this, who knows how many more people will be in control of the court?" Are people opposed to her decree?"

"And she has come to this point, she can no longer retreat if she wants to," Xunfan said: "If she wants her decrees to be passed and the world to be built according to her ideas, there is no other way than to get to that position. It’s only natural to change the name.”

Xun Zu was tangled up in confusion and was still dreaming, "Brother, maybe we are overthinking and she doesn't mean this? Until now, she has always been respectful to His Majesty. Didn't you trust her before?"

Xun Fan said coldly: "This time, her private property was used to stabilize prices. Why do you think she used her private property to do what the country should do?"

Because she regards this world as something in her pocket.

Xun Zu was speechless for a moment.

Many people suddenly woke up like Xun Zu. Rumors began to spread among the people. Sima Zhao's heart had changed and became Zhao Hanzhang's heart. However, the common people had a different mentality from the Sima Zhao period. Instead of being disgusted, they were looking forward to it. Mostly.

The Xiongnu and Han Kingdom were destroyed by the general, and Shi Le was conquered by the general. Even the rebellion between King Donghai and Gou Xi was put under control by the general. The Jin Dynasty was already in a wrong position, and it is the turn of the general to take the throne in this world. Bar?

If you are a general, there should be no skyrocketing food prices in the future, right?

Of course, this was after the Chinese New Year. At this time, everything had just begun. Except for a few close ministers, no one knew that Jingzhou and Yangzhou, thousands of miles away, were fighting.

Wang Siniang was waiting in front of the radio station. As soon as the operator translated the message, she immediately picked it up and read it. When she saw that there were only three words "got it" on the big paper, Wang Siniang's eyes flashed and she understood immediately. (End of chapter)
