Zhu Qing frowned rarely: "Miss Lin's dream is really..."
An Zhixian thought for a moment and said firmly: "It's definitely not a dream like she and Qi Wenyuan said. She is sure that there will be a locust plague! If she wasn't sure in her heart, how could she prepare food and medicine and prepare to build a house?"
Zhu Qing: "Miss Lin is just a child, how can she know the future?"
An Zhixian shook his head: "We will discuss this matter later. Go and tell Uncle An to order everyone to buy a large amount of food. Buy as much food as you can. No matter the price, category or year, as long as you can buy everything you can eat! Our flight Pigeons can only travel two days faster than grain, and the Qi family won't be able to buy them after they find out! Go quickly!"
The situation was urgent, Zhu Qing hurried out of the door without any delay.
An Zhixian looked at the note and murmured: "Lin Jinyan, how did you know this?"
The Qi family also received the news two days later and immediately stopped selling grain.
Qi Wenyuan lost his smile in front of others and said with a gloomy expression: "This girl from the Lin family is really evil. Her dreams can come true."
The news also came to Tai'an City, and food suddenly became a hot commodity, and everyone began to rush to buy food.
The Qi family didn't know when the locust plague would stop, so they sold limited quantities every day. Seeing this, other small grain stores raised their prices. Tianchu's grain prices skyrocketed and doubled several times in just a few days.
People outside were panicking, but Lin Jinyan was calm and composed at the moment, cutting and sewing clothes made of high-priced leather.
After the court discussed a solution, it was ordered by the emperor to be sent to the local government for implementation. It took a lot of time, but the locust plague was finally cured, and more than half of this year's harvest was destroyed.
Food prices remained high and it was difficult to buy food. Although disaster relief ministers were dispatched, refugees still poured into the capital one after another.
Lin Jinyan ordered the two Zhuangzi and Youran to stay behind closed doors, and told the head of the village not to resist if refugees came to grab food. Just give them the food to protect the lives of everyone on the village, and she would give them more food.
He also ordered Li Ru that Taifeng Grain Store would sell only three hundred tons of grain per day at half the current market price.
These days, there is a queue at the entrance of Taifeng Grain Store before dawn, and three hundred dans are sold out in the morning.
Other grain stores were dissatisfied with the cheap prices offered by Tai Feng Grain Store and wanted to cause trouble. After asking around, they found out that this grain store was owned by the General's Mansion. Seeing that they didn't sell much, they stopped thinking.
Ever since he saw the refugees entering Beijing, Gu Hongzhang's military vigilance made him feel that this new year might not be stable.
Gu Hongzhang took the initiative to enter the palace and stayed for three hours. During this period, several princes and many ministers, including Lin Yanqing, were summoned into the palace.
Lin Yanqing returned home at dinner time and said that the general was worried that Mobei would take advantage of this disaster to attack Tianchu, so he proposed to His Majesty that the Gu family lead troops to garrison in the north to avoid being robbed by Mobei. Your Majesty has agreed, and the Gu family will lead the army to the north in three days.
Lin Jinyan was not surprised when she heard this. The same was true for her grandfather in the previous life. In order to give Tianchu enough time to recover, he went to garrison. Due to his old age and the cold weather, he contracted a cough, which would break out when the weather got cold.
Lin Jinyan now has very little strength and knows that she cannot stop it, so she can only do what she can.
Three days later, Gu Hongzhang, Gu Qingyun and Gu Ruizhou led the Dingbei Army stationed outside the city to the north. A group of princes, ministers and people came to see them off.
Lin Jinyan handed Gu Hongzhang a baggage, saying it was the first time she made clothes, and told Gu Hongzhang to wear them, and asked Gu Qingyun and Gu Ruizhou to supervise Gu Hongzhang not to take them off.
