After reading the notice, four of the landowners immediately went back to Liang Xiao to sell their land.
If you don’t sell it, the land price may get lower and lower!
In less than three days, the price of rice continued to rise from 60 to 90 cents!
The announcement from the Prefectural Government caused more and more controversy.
More and more people are confused and complaining.
In the prefect's mansion, after Liang Xiao learned about the situation, he said: "Continue to release the news to the outside world."
Qin Baili asked: "Is the key point to let the rice merchants who evacuated know?"
Liang Xiao praised: "You better tell the truth! Those rice merchants are all within a hundred miles of Yanzhou, and they have been waiting for the price of food to skyrocket."
Lin Xiuruo, who was on the side, had some realization and felt his eyes light up: "This move may seem ruthless, but in fact it is far-reaching! You are worthy of being the Marquis of Lanling!"
"In addition, those rice merchants who are unwilling to sell grain for sixty cents also want to hoard it. It is impossible to sell grain at this time. When the time comes, the people will find that only the prefect's mansion is selling in the whole city."
After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he took out another pile of paper and said, "I have prepared things in advance."
"Something?" Qin Baili and Lin Xiu were confused at the same time.
Liang Xiao took a piece of paper from the table full of news.
The two of them took a closer look and saw that what was written above was the news that Liang Xiao was going to continue to raise the price of grain in Yanzhou.
"This is not a newspaper, it's just for rumors, right?"
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "It's just a leaflet. You can arrange for people to distribute it everywhere in the surrounding area. The news will spread faster and be more true than the rumors spread by word of mouth. I will arrange people to take the best carriage and deliver it as quickly as possible." , sent to all directions.”
At the same time, the knights who had just returned to the inn also received news of the price increase.
"Ninety cents?"
The knights were a little sad.
Xiahou Liuyuan said privately to Xiahou Qingyi: "Chief, if this continues, the people will definitely resent Marquis Lanling... His recent achievements in eliminating harm to the people are insignificant compared to making them directly feel the soaring food prices!"
Xiahou Qingyi also had a bit of worry in his eyes.
The speed at which food prices are rising is somewhat outrageous.
[Does he have his own considerations? 】
Xiahou Liuyuan couldn't help but feel bitter when he looked at the words she wrote.
They are just rangers, so they don't know these things.
As rangers, they were already reasonable.
People will only remember who is good or bad to them, no matter what the background is!
In Yanzhou Academy, the crowd is furious!
"The price of food has increased again! Does Liang Xiao want to destroy the people's livelihood in Yanzhou!"
A group of scholars were filled with indignation and went to complain to Higashikata one after another, hoping that Higashino could come forward to seek justice.
Dongye Song felt like a light on his back, and felt helpless in his heart: "What does this son want to do??"
Dong Yesong didn't want to offend any force, but Liang Xiao's actions were beyond the capacity of Yanzhou Academy.
For a long time, the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty had almost all the right to speak.
Dazhou women are also eligible to study, as long as they can afford the tuition.
The dean of Yanzhou Academy was only a minor official, but his influence was no less than that of the prefect, precisely because he had gathered almost all the talents and beauties in Yanzhou under his command.
If he doesn't come forward, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his position as dean.
But Dongye Hongji repeatedly told him to appease the students and not to conflict with Liang Xiao.
Dilemma!
In desperation, Dongye Song could only say some superficial words.
"Marquis Lanling must have done this as a last resort. I believe he will give us an explanation soon."
Higashino's words are not arrogant.
The academy has this qualification and asks the prefect to give an explanation.
As for whether the prefect will give an explanation or not, that is the other party's problem.
Dugu Chen squeezed out of the crowd and said with a smile: "Dean, I hope you are determined to uphold justice. If you are colluding with Liang Xiao, I'm afraid these eight hundred students will not agree."
Dongye Song frowned.
This is clearly a blatant request for him to prepare to step down!
Wise out of desperation, Dongye Song said: "It's our old master's wish. Don't be hasty! If Lanlinghou is really a slave to the common people, Dongye Song can't just sit idly by and ignore it!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Dong Ye, no wonder he can keep his composure..." The students suddenly realized.
Dugu Chen was stunned.
East wild sea!
The preservation of the Higashino family back then was all due to this person working behind the scenes.
Otherwise, the fate of the Tuoba clan today will be the fate of the Higashino clan back then!
This man was famous all over the world in his early years, and his reputation was almost equal to that of Zhuge Hui. He believed in the way of Huang Lao.
In the Yanzhou area, no one is dissatisfied.
"When Liang Xiao collapses and Zhuge Hui dies, your Dongye clan will be the next to be liquidated!"
Dugu Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, smiled, clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll just wait for the good news!"
At this moment, a cry came from the crowd.
"I want to go on a hunger strike!"
Everyone followed the sound, and when Dong Yesong saw it, he even had a splitting headache.
It’s Dongye Luoyue.
Duanmu Yan also agreed: "I am also on a hunger strike! If you men, as superiors, don't do anything, it will be up to us women to stand up as scholars!"
"Luoyue, when did you come!" Dongye Song said helplessly.
Dongye Luoyue raised her head and said: "My father wants me to be grounded, but I heard that the price of food has risen to ninety cents. I can't bear it! Yanyan and I will go on a hunger strike to protest against the people of Liangxiao and increase publicity!"
Dongye Song was confused.
Higashino Xuanji was too doting on this girl and had already spoiled her.
It was impossible for him to reprimand Dongye Luoyue in public.
Dugu Chen followed the trend and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Yanzhou, but they need women to come forward. How sad! Luoyue, there is no need to go on a hunger strike. How can you torture yourself because of other people's mistakes?"
"No! I'm going on a hunger strike!"
Dongye Luoyue had a proud look on her face. She didn't care, turned around and ran home to eat and drink enough, and started a "hunger strike".
Dongye Xuanji really couldn't persuade her, so he had to send someone to apologize to Liang Xiao privately.
"Our head of the family has said that the young lady is arrogant by nature, but he only has one daughter, the Marquis of Lanling..."
Liang Xiao looked at the ashamed-looking guard of the Dongye clan and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I never take her seriously. What she does with Duanmuyan is meaningless to me."
The guard breathed a sigh of relief and went back to report Dongye's secret.
Dongye Xuanji said angrily: "Keep an eye on her! If you let her go out again, you will all pack up and leave!!"
The guard was obedient and went back to beg Dongye Luoyue.
"Miss, please don't run out alone again, otherwise it will be difficult for us..."
Facing this eldest lady, they did not dare to offend her, so they repeatedly let her go.
Dongye Luoyue hummed and said, "My father asked you to apologize for me? That Liang Xiao has such a big face! Did he say anything?"
The guard hesitated and said: "Nothing..."
"He ignored me? Right?" Dongye Luoyue sneered.
The guard dared not respond.
Liang Xiao's words must not be told to her.
But lies cannot be hidden from him.
Dongye Luoyue hummed: "I will give him a bigger one!"
Food prices have risen, and people in Yanzhou are rushing to buy food.
