It's nearly half the hour.
The Meng family in Zhuojun County announced that the price had been reduced to one, two, four, and one stone.
It quickly swept through the entire Juyang City like a prairie fire.
After hearing the news, all the aristocratic families and businessmen breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, under the continuous suppression by Sun Daohua, Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian and others.
All the aristocratic families and merchants in Juyang City have long lost the energy they had when the incident began.
If we weren't worried about cutting prices rashly, we might become the target of public criticism.
Nowadays, the price of food in Juyang City is probably already falling off a cliff again.
Therefore.
When the Meng family of Zhuojun, who was related by marriage to the Zhu family of Shanggu, announced a price reduction.
All the aristocratic families and businessmen who had lost their energy and energy and only wanted to get out of the quagmire as soon as possible were relieved.
That's why.
Juyang City is destined to be very lively on this day.
It is also destined to be recorded in local chronicles and spread in the annals of history.
...
...
Chenshi.
Meng Zeming, the head of the Meng family in Zhuo County, announced that he would adjust the price of grain to one, two, four, and one stone.
It's nearly half the hour.
There are a total of twelve small and medium-sized aristocratic families and seventeen commercial firms in Guangyang County, including Cui, Wan, Hong, Xun and Ran.
Immediately afterwards, it was announced that the price of grain would be adjusted to one, two, four, and one stone.
From the fifth quarter to the seventh quarter of the hour.
The Pan family in Yanmen County and the Fan family in Dai County successively announced that they would adjust the price of grain to one, two, four, and one stone.
From Si hour to Si hour three quarters.
Chen, Liu, Xu, Han and other families in Yanmen County.
As well as the Zhang, Guan, Jiang, Wen and other families of Daijun.
Immediately afterwards, the price of grain was adjusted to one, two, four, and one stone.
So far.
The price of food in Juyang City has completely entered the era of one, two or four cents.
For a time, all the people in Juyang City took action upon hearing the news.
Most of the long queues in front of Zhu's and Fan's rice and grain shops that had never seen a tail disappeared in an instant.
Soon the people who had dispersed from Zhu and Fan's rice and grain shops gathered in front of a group of rice and grain shops with the same price.
All the aristocratic families who announced the price reduction were both sad and happy.
If the situation were not compelling, a group of foreign aristocratic families and merchants would never lower their prices like this unless their heads were kicked by a donkey.
But fortunately, with the current situation, it won't be long before we can completely get out of the huge quagmire of Yandi.
Although he lost most of his life, he was still able to survive.
However.
If heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, eight or nine times out of ten.
Only half an hour passed.
The situation in Juyang City changed again.
It's nearly noon.
There are a total of 16 small and medium-sized aristocratic families and 24 trading firms in Hejian County and Zhongshan County.
They successively announced that they would sell the grain in their hands at the price of one, two, three, and one stone.
As soon as this news came out, the whole city was shocked.
Countless people flocked to the rice and grain shops set up by aristocratic families and merchants in Hejian and Zhongshan counties.
From three to six o'clock noon.
The Pan family in Yanmen County, the Fan family in Dai County, and other aristocratic families and merchants in the two counties.
All of them gritted their teeth and announced that they would sell the grain in their hands for one, two, two, and one stone.
If the quantity required is large, we can discuss it in person.
After the news has completely spread.
The people who had left all rushed back again.
There were even people lining up outside the South City Gate waiting to buy cheap grain.
He was also attracted by the aristocratic families and merchants from Yanmen and Daijun counties.
For a time, Juyang City was really overcrowded.
To avoid stampedes and other vicious incidents.
Sun Daohua specially dispatched three thousand county soldiers to maintain order in the city.
Four moments later.
Liaodong County Lu family, Liu family, Shi family, Tang family, Meng family.
He family, Meng family, Liu family, Chen family, Zhao family and Xiao family in Liaoxi County.
As well as the advance and retreat alliance composed of a total of 17 medium and large aristocratic families and business houses, including the Liu family and the Sun family in Zhuojun.
They jointly announced that they would evacuate Yandi with food in three days.
As soon as this news came out, the trend of price reduction in Juyang City came to an abrupt end.
The amount of grain controlled by the Advance and Retreat Alliance of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Zhuojun counties is at least one million shi.
If all this food is withdrawn from Yan.
This is undoubtedly great news for all foreign families.
However, everyone knew that such a huge amount of food could be transported away at will.
The three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Zhuojun advanced and retreated from the alliance. This move was nothing more than threatening Sun Daohua.
in short.
The move of the three counties to advance and withdraw from the alliance is nothing more than increasing their own bargaining chips, thereby increasing their chances of winning negotiations with Sun Daohua and other people behind the scenes.
As for the final outcome of the negotiations, no one is sure at this time.
But this does not prevent the Yanmen Pan family, Daijun Fan family and other price-cutting families and merchants.
They tacitly took advantage of this incident to reach a certain tacit understanding.
This tacit understanding means: not to fight with each other, and to completely stabilize the price of food at one, two, two, and one stone.
...
...
Not even halfway through.
South of Juyang City, outside the county government platform.
The county magistrate, Lu Yansheng, walked quickly onto the platform with an anxious look on his face.
Then he walked straight towards the county government hall.
Fang Yi approached the county government hall.
Then one could hear extremely loud snoring coming continuously from the county office.
Lu Yansheng couldn't help but slow down when he heard the sound.
Wait until you arrive at the county government hall.
I saw Sun Daohua lying on the desk, sleeping soundly.
Lu Yansheng couldn't help but have a deep look of confusion on his face.
However, just over a hundred breaths passed.
The tangled look on Lu Yansheng's face disappeared.
"Alas~!"
"Sheriff."
"Sheriff."
"Governor Sun."
Lu Yansheng sighed heavily and then spoke.
"Um?"
"What's the matter?"
Sun Daohua woke up from his deep sleep and asked reflexively.
"Go back to the Sheriff."
"A large number of aristocratic families and merchants from Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Zhuojun counties simultaneously announced that they would transport grain away from Yan."
Lu Yansheng calmed down for a moment and quickly handed over his hand to report.
"Um?"
"A large number of aristocratic families and merchants from Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Zhuojun announced at the same time that they would transport grain away from Yan?"
After hearing this, Sun Daohua suddenly woke up, rubbed his face with his hands and murmured in a low voice.
"What's the price of food in the city now?"
After a while, Sun Daohua put down his hands and asked in a deep voice.
"Go back to the Sheriff."
"Since three quarters at noon, the Pan family of Yanmen, the Fan family of Daijun and other families have announced that they have reduced the price to one, two, two, and one stone."
"There will be no change in food prices in the city."
Lu Yansheng answered with his hands raised after hearing this.
The words are over.
Sun Daohua couldn't help but turn his head slightly and glance at the engraving beside him.
"Did the families and merchants from the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Daijun say when they would leave?"
Sun Daohua calmed down for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
"Go back to the Sheriff."
"The Sanjun family promised to leave in three days."
Lu Yansheng heard the words and answered truthfully.
His voice just fell.
Don't wait for Sun Daohua's reaction.
Suddenly a government servant appeared on the platform.
"What's the matter?
? "
Sun Daohua paused for a moment, then looked at the yamen servant who was walking quickly.
"Report to the Sheriff."
"Someone handed me a greeting card outside the door."
When the officer heard this, he hurriedly stopped and then raised his hand to report.
"Send it up."
Sun Daohua's eyelids couldn't help but droop slightly when he heard this.
"yes."
Hearing this, the Yamen servant quickly walked in with a greeting card in hand.
Lu Yansheng, who always stood in the hall, saw this and quickly took the invitation from the Yamen servant.
It was immediately forwarded to Sun Daohua's desk.
Sun Daohua nodded slightly, and then quickly picked up the greeting card.
After roughly browsing for more than ten pages.
Sun Daohua couldn't help but have a slight sneer on his face.
"Tell the person who submitted the invitation."
"I am busy selling grain at a fair price."
"I have no time to meet him."
After a few breaths, Sun Daohua calmed down briefly, and then handed the greeting card in his hand to Lu Yansheng.
Lu Yansheng once again forwarded it to the Yamen outside the hall.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the yamen servant quickly raised his hands and saluted.
After receiving the invitation, he left quickly.
Wait until the figure of the Yamen servant completely disappears behind the platform.
Sun Daohua calmed down for a moment, then looked at Lu Yansheng in the audience.
"Lu Juncheng, everything can be done step by step in the next few days."
"There is no need to pay attention to those three-county aristocratic families."
Sun Daohua gave instructions with a normal expression.
Obviously, the joint invitation just now was submitted by aristocratic families and merchants from the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Zhuojun.
What the noble families and merchants of the three counties mean by this will be understood by those who understand.
"yes."
When Lu Yansheng heard this, he cupped his hands and responded.
There is nothing else to do until I see Sun Daohua.
Lu Yansheng wisely resigned and left.
After Lu Yansheng's figure completely disappeared from the platform.
Sun Daohua stood up from the Grand Master's chair without hesitation.
"You're here and you still want to leave?"
"Nothing in this world is so easy."
"I really don't know what the faces of all the aristocratic families and businessmen will be like when they find out about the new official way."
"Ah."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
"At least I can sleep well for a day or two."
Sun Daohua sneered and turned around and left the county government hall.
Go straight towards the county government house.
...
...
It's about time.
The three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Zhuojun advanced and retreated from the alliance to submit their greetings.
With the spread of the word by those who are interested, it swept through the entire Juyang City like a prairie fire.
Sun Daohua's extremely tough attitude was like a giant hammer, slamming into the hearts of all foreign aristocratic families and merchants.
All of a sudden, all the foreign families and merchants were in an uproar.
The three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Zhuojun entered and retreated from the alliance. A number of aristocratic families and merchants thought about many possibilities.
But he never expected that Sun Daohua would be so tough.
For a time, the three counties advanced and retreated. All the families and merchants in the alliance fell into an extremely passive situation.
Walk?
If millions of stones of food were taken overland.
Zhuo County and Shanggu County are adjacent to the north and south.
The end result is nothing more than a broken body.
Liaodong and Liaoxi counties are sparsely populated and far away from Shanggu County.
With the Zhu and Fan families controlling the waterway in Shanggu County, they returned to Liao by land.
When millions of dans of grain arrive in Liao, only two to three hundred thousand dans left will be thankful to God.
And this also needs to be established if the officials along the way do not speak loudly.
But if you don’t leave.
The Three Counties Advance and Retreat Alliance has already accomplished this.
Sun Daohua has such an extremely tough attitude again.
How can the Three Counties Advance and Retreat Alliance have the face to continue to stay in Yandi?
How can one have the dignity to follow the trend and sell grain at reduced prices?
...
...
One night passed quickly.
The next day's time.
Just when the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Zhuojun entered and retreated from the alliance, there was a thick haze.
Zhu Zongting, the eldest son of the Zhu family in Shanggu County, and Fan Wenyou, the eldest son of the Fan family in Shanggu County.
and Meng Qingfeng, the fifth son of the Meng family in Zhuojun County.
Appeared respectively in the places where the Lu family of Liaodong County, the He family of Liaoxi County and the Liu family of Zhuo County stayed.
It's time.
Just like the three poles above.
Zhu Zongting of the Zhu family, Fan Wenyou of the Fan family, and Meng Qingfeng of the Meng family left the place where the Lu, He, and Liu families stayed one after another.
No one knows what happened in this missing hour.
No one knows what the six families were talking about during the missing hour.
It's past half time.
All the prominent families and merchants from Liaodong County gathered at the place where the Lu family stayed.
All the prominent families and merchants in Liaoxi County gathered at the place where the He family stayed.
All the aristocratic families and businessmen from Zhuo County who were involved in this matter gathered at the place where the Liu family stayed.
Four quarters past noon.
The three meetings that attracted the attention of almost all the foreign families finally ended one after another.
Just when a group of foreign aristocratic families tried their best to find out the inside story of the meeting.
Not even a moment.
The three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Zhuojun advanced and retreated from the alliance.
They jointly announced that they would sell the grain in hand at the price of one tael of silver and one stone.
As soon as this news was announced.
In an instant, it swept through the entire Juyang City like a prairie fire.
All of a sudden, all the foreign families and merchants were in an uproar.
However, we did not wait for the reaction of the foreign aristocratic families and merchants.
Four moments later.
The Zhu family of Shanggu County, the Fan family of Shanggu County and the Meng family of Zhuo County.
It was announced one after another that the price of grain would be adjusted from one to four qian per stone to one tael of silver per stone.
Seven moments later.
In desperation.
The Pan family of Yanmen County, the Fan family of Dai County and other families and merchants.
He had no choice but to follow closely and announce that he would sell the grain in his hands for one tael of silver and one stone.
So far.
The price of food in Juyang City has completely entered the era of one tael of silver and one stone.
For a time, the people inside and outside Juyang City were completely crazy.
Most of the long queues outside the South City Gate had disappeared.
It comes down to it.
At the same price.
Naturally, the efficiency of the many rice and grain shops in the city far exceeds that of Shanggu County Yamen by several times, or even more than ten times.
In the next few days.
Because there are too many monks and too little porridge.
Grain prices in Juyang City have experienced slight declines for several more times.
In addition to Juyang City, there are seven other cities in Shanggu County.
Since the beginning of the counterattack, it has been under the forced order of Sun Daohua.
It has always maintained the same implementation policy as the county town of Juyang.
Although the number of aristocratic families and merchants in it is less than that of Juyang City.
But the number of people in it is also less than that of Juyang City.
Therefore, the process for Shanggu County is slightly different.
But the end result is indeed the same.
The same is true for Yuyang County.
at the same time.
Shanggu County and Yuyang County quietly cut off many traffic arteries.
Want to build a new official road.
It was also spread back to Yan land one after another.
After hearing this news.
A group of foreign aristocratic families and businessmen secretly scolded Sun Daohua, Pang Wenze and others.
Nowadays, a group of foreign aristocratic families
, the merchants still don’t understand.
From the moment they transported grain to Yandi, they had already stepped half into the bottomless abyss dug by Sun Daohua, Pang Wenze and others.
Even if they risked everything at the beginning.
Don't even think about transporting grain away from Yan.
Even if you leave.
The traffic arteries that are being dug up silently will also drive them all back.
You can't just leave all the food in the wilderness and wait for the new official road to be built just now, right?
As for the waterway, there is no need to even think about it.
After the behemoths such as the Wang family in Shanggu and the Xie family in Yuyang collapsed.
The three families of Zhu, Fan, and Dong, as well as the Song Trading Company, controlled nearly 70% of Yan's waterways.
The rest were before Sun Daohua, Pang Wenze and others spoke.
How many people dare to lend the waterway to outsiders?
...
...
Late April.
After several twists and turns, the price of food in the seventeen cities of Yandi.
In the end, it basically stabilized at seven to eight hundred yuan per stone.
Some small and medium-sized aristocratic families and merchants have also sold out all their food.
For a time, outside the seventeenth city of Yandi, people with depressed figures could be seen almost everywhere.
And during this period.
Zhu, Fan, Dong, Song's trading firms, Laowu's trading firms and other forces.
Either openly or covertly, he swallowed at least a million stones of grain.
And the government offices of the seventeen cities in the two counties of Yan and Di.
Under the explicit or implicit instructions of Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze.
He also took this opportunity to fill up all the official warehouses.
Ordinary people are also trying their best to take advantage of this opportunity to hoard food.
So far.
The famine crisis in Yanland was completely eliminated.
