"Then you have to see who said it! Where did it come from! This is the capital, and the royal family doesn't buy rice from the south anymore. What do you want the people across the country to think? And this is just the beginning, I have a plan!"
"Tell me! What's your next move?"
Du Xinyu smiled evilly, "Humph, I won't tell you!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he coughed lightly, "Do you usually get shortness of breath when you exercise strenuously after dinner?"
"what are you saying?"
"I am an action person. I don't usually talk about it, but do it!" Zhao Xuanyi grabbed Du Xinyu and walked towards the big bed!
"Don't...husband, I'm not full yet! Let me go!" Du Xinyu screamed in the room!
When Tang Tianli led his people to transfer food from the military camp, the people could not see it. If the people knew that the food was transferred from the military camp, then this plan would not succeed!
So Tang Tianli packed the food in big boxes and put seals on it, so that it looked like the Qilin Guards were transporting supplies. Dozens of carts of supplies walked to Guanghua Gate. Tang Tianli waved his hand and the convoy stopped!
Tang Tianli got off his horse and came directly in front of Qin Heng, "Hey, isn't this the young master wearing a robe? Hey, we are here to transport supplies, do you want to check?"
When Qin Heng saw Tang Tianli, his face turned red with anger and he almost vomited blood. After all, he was the son of a second-grade official. It was already frustrating to be a soldier guarding the city. He didn't expect to have to endure the ridicule of the Qilin Guards. It was simply bullying. Too many people!
Tang Tianli saw that behind Qin Heng was a simple rain shelter, and inside the pavilion hung a unicorn token. "Wow, this token looks good, Mr. Qin, if you don't check it, we will leave." ! If this is transporting some prohibited items, it is your responsibility!"
"Let's go!" Qin Heng said perfunctorily.
Tang Tianli raised his head and laughed, then waved his hands, "Brothers, Mr. Qin, don't worry, let's go!"
"Young Master? Hahaha...!" All the Qilin Guards laughed loudly!
By the afternoon of the next day, rumors immediately spread in the capital: "Hey, have you heard about it? Why is rice so cheap in the south recently? I heard there is a problem!"
"I heard it. It is said that the water vapor in the south is too heavy. The rice looks fine, but it is healthy inside. Not only does it not taste good, but you will get sick if you eat too much!"
"No wonder the price of rice in the north has been so high recently, that's what happened!"
"Can you? Hurry up and buy more northern rice, otherwise you won't be able to buy it!" Xiu Shuzhu
For a time, within the capital, the price of northern rice increased again to forty cents per dou, while the price of southern rice dropped to twenty cents per dou. Even so, few people bought southern rice!
In the evening, Zhao Xuanyi was holding Du Xinyu and strolling in the streets and alleys of the capital in a unicorn chariot. When he saw a new storm of food blowing outside, Zhao Xuanyi explored Du Xinyu's arms with his big hands, "This trick of yours really works. It only takes a few seconds." Oh my God, the price of rice has been reduced by one-third!"
Du Xinyu chuckled, "Where are you? I ordered someone to give the order. Starting tomorrow, the rice in our Changlin Grain Store will be sold for one copper coin per catty! Keep selling!"
"Yes! It's all up to you!" Zhao Xuanyi kissed Du Xinyu's snowy neck and said.
"The next plan can begin!"
"Understood, I have already arranged people, and I am just waiting for your order!" Zhao Xuanyi said softly.
That night, the seven major grain merchants in the capital gathered to discuss the matter over tea. By now, everyone knew why Du Xinyu said what he said.
"Everyone, I have investigated and found out! There is indeed such a statement in the palace. I heard that the prince personally ordered that all food be bought from the north. Can you tell me about this?"
"Don't mention it, I just bought a batch of southern grain last month, and now it's ruined in my hands!"
"What should we do? In a few days, the price of rice in the north has almost doubled, and the food in the south is hard to sell at half the price. How about this? Shopkeeper Song, can you give me an idea?"
"What can I do? I still have a lot of food in my hand!" Song Gulun sighed.
"We should think of a solution!"
Three days later, it can be said that Shandong, Fujiang and other places are in a catastrophe. The grain that has just been harvested is stored in the granary and cannot be sold! This group of farmers didn't know what was going on. Why did no one suddenly want the food they had worked so hard to grow for a year?
When the price of grain was so high before, many merchants sent people to negotiate, sign contracts, and buy new grain. But now, no one comes to buy it. This makes the entire southern grain market close to collapse!
It happened that a few days later, another incident happened. People in several villages in Shandong were poisoned by food one after another. Everyone had a bad stomach, and it took a few days for them to get better!
There are also several villages in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Yingtianfu and other places where this kind of thing has happened. The most noticeable thing is that most of the villages where this kind of thing has happened are in villages near farmland!
When the news reached the capital, it was explosive and spread throughout the country overnight.
"Let me just say, the food in the south cannot be eaten this year. Look, they themselves are eating badly!".Ь.
"But the price of food in the north is so expensive, I can't even afford it!"
"Everyone, please be careful! Winter is coming soon. Everyone has a good New Year, but it's best if nothing happens!"
"Have you heard about Changlin Grain Store? Today's rice is three kilograms for one copper!"
"I know, but this... oops!"
Zhao Xuanyi and Du Xinyu were lying on the bed at the moment. The two of them were very happy. Du Xinyu was lying on Zhao Xuanyi's chest. "In half a month, food prices have dropped six times in a row! Now one copper plate can buy three kilograms of rice. I did what I said." !」
"Yes, yes, you are awesome! People should be able to spend the winter safely now!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"It's all my credit!" Du Xinyu said, raising her little hand. xь.
"Of course, what do you want? I'll buy it for you!"
"I want you! I want you!" Du Xinyu hugged Zhao Xuanyi tightly.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "I've been living on your bed for the past half month, and I belong to you all!"
Du Xinyu shook her head, "I'm afraid you'll leave, I don't want you to leave!"
The most common words came into Zhao Xuanyi's heart, and he gently hugged Du Xinyu with his arms, "It's my fault, I should have married you in the first place!"
Du Xinyu smiled, raised her head and gave Zhao Xuanyi a sweet kiss!
【Dong dong dong! 】The knock on the door came again, "Young Master, Eunuch Feng is here!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he stood up quickly and said, "Feng Jihua?"
"yes!"
"I'll be there right away!" Zhao Xuanyi said and started to get dressed!
"Did the palace send someone here?"
"I guess it's because I haven't gone to court in the past half month, so the prince sent someone to find me!" Zhao Xuanyi said while getting dressed!
Du Xinyu lay lazily on the big bed, "You are really the person the prince trusts most!"
"It's necessary!" Zhao Xuanyi put on his clothes and kissed Du Xinyu, "Wait until I come back!"
"Yeah!" Du Xinyu clicked her chin!
After Zhao Xuanyi came to the hall, Feng Jihua hurriedly stood up from his chair and said, "See the Duke!"
"Xiao Huazi, please stop being so polite. Are you here because the prince has something to do with me?"
"To congratulate the prince, the prince is hosting a banquet in the East Palace. Please attend the banquet with the third lady!" Feng Jihua said with a smile.
"Oh? That's it! OK, Eunuch Feng will go back to the palace first, and I'll be there soon!"
"Then the servant will be waiting for the Duke and the third lady!" After Feng Jihua finished speaking, he bowed and left!
Shen Wei came to Zhao Xuanyi's side and said, "Young Master, this is such a glorious honor! Now the three ladies can go to the palace to dine!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Xinyu, who was murderous and crying, would grow to this extent now. I really ignored her! Go prepare the carriage!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei nodded and said.
Zhao Xuanyi returned to Du Xinyu's room and picked up Du Xinyu, "Quickly, get dressed, there's something good going on!"
"What a good thing? I see you happy?"
"The prince asked me to take you to the palace for dinner. This is a royal palace feast. Do you want to go?"
After hearing this, Du Xinyu's eyes shone, "Of course I want to go! I heard that the palace cuisine is very delicious, but I haven't tried it yet!"
