Beicheng, outside the official grain store.
There was a long queue here, and many people were queuing up to buy food. The faces of the people were filled with smiles. The price of food has soared some time ago, reaching fifteen cents per catty, making it difficult to afford food. This morning it soared to twenty-five cents per catty, which is even more expensive.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan opened a warehouse in time to sell grain and lowered the price.
The people were talking and laughing.
While the people were chatting and laughing in line, Lu Xuan took Lu Meng outside the grain store in Beicheng.
As soon as you see it, you can see many people who bought the food and left happily carrying the food. Even if the purchase is restricted, for ordinary people, it is good to be able to buy it. However, many people looked worried.
As the day went by, night gradually fell, and there were still many people who had not bought food. These people were worried about suddenly running out of food, so when night fell, there were still many people queuing up.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Meng and ordered: "Lu Meng, go and call the person in charge of Beicheng."
"Here!"
Lu Meng quickly went to inform.
After a while, Mi Fang came and reported: "Lord."
Lu Xuan asked: "Second brother, why are you in charge in Beicheng?"
Mi Fang said: "I have nothing to do, and what I am good at is business, so I recommended myself to Zhang Gongcao to take charge of the shops in Beicheng."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Is there enough food in the warehouse?"
Mi Fang confidently said: "There is enough food in the warehouse, and there is no problem. I have been replenishing it last night to ensure that the food can be adequately supplied. And the food sold is taken out in front of the people for people to see. It’s absolutely fair and just to get good or bad.”
Lu Xuandao: "You did a good job."
Mi Fang said humbly: "My lord, I'm sorry."
Lu Xuan continued: "Go and make arrangements and tell all the people waiting in line that Lujiang County has enough food, so there is no need to worry about not having enough food. In addition, it will be open all night tonight. Anyone who comes to queue can buy food. Don't worry about not being able to buy it." arrive."
"Here!"
Mi Fang nodded.
He returned to the door of the shop, looked at the long line of people, raised his hands and lowered his hands, and said loudly: "Quiet, everyone, be quiet, listen to me."
Many people looked over.
A pair of eyes full of worry.
I am afraid that it will be announced that there is no food and sales will stop, because many people have not yet bought it.
Mi Fang raised her voice and said loudly: "Just now, Prefect Lu visited the grain store. He saw that it was getting very late and there were still many people queuing up. Prefect Lu gave orders that the grain store should not be closed and grains should be sold all night long."
"Those who haven't bought any food, don't worry. Prefect Lu has prepared enough food to ensure that you can all buy it."
"It will be sold today and it will be sold tomorrow."
"Food will continue to be sold."
Mi Fang raised her voice and shouted: "Prefect Lu said that everyone will be able to afford food. Please rest assured that there will be no problems with the food. Whether it is quantity or quality, both quality and quantity will be guaranteed." . Queue up peacefully, don’t be crowded, don’t make a fuss, just don’t worry.”
Wow! !
Discussions started among the crowd.
The people in line had smiles on their faces.
"Prefect Lu specially ordered an all-night sale so that we could have food to eat. We have no shortage of food."
"Prefect Lu took in the refugees and provided relief to the people, and now he has given special orders to keep selling food until closing time. Prefect Lu is concerned about the country and the people, and his benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled. It's great that we have Prefect Lu here."
"Prefect Lu is a living Bodhisattva."
More and more people are speaking.
After the people got excited, some people actually knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed in the direction of the Beicheng government office. Some people took the lead to kneel down and salute, and others followed suit. Groups of people, saying thanks, kept saluting in the direction of the government office.
Mi Fang looked shocked when she saw this scene.
He didn't expect that just by announcing that he would be open all night, the response from the people would be so great.
"This is what the people want."
Mi Fang had an idea in her heart. Lu Xuan helped the refugees and adjusted food prices to ensure that the people could live, making all the people support Lu Xuan.
Are these the common people?
Is this what people want?
Mi Fang has lived a comfortable life in the Mi family since she was a child, and does not have much understanding of the lives of the people at the bottom. He saw what happened in front of him today and fully realized that this was the true will of the people.
Lu Xuan was also touched when he saw the people kowtow. People are so simple.
All he wants is a bowl of rice.
Having enough food is the greatest luxury.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Meng, who was a little shocked, and ordered: "Lü Meng, we are going back. Inform other grain shops in the city to open all night tonight to ensure that the people can buy food."
Lu Meng came back to his senses and said: "My lord, does this mean that those who have gained the Tao are more helpful? Because of the lord's benevolence and righteousness, the people's hearts are attached to the lord. All the people will support the lord."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Actually, it's just three meals a day. When people are full, they will naturally be grateful. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people eat too much, hurt their heads, and are full of anti-social thoughts. However, most people All people are normal."
Lu Meng said: "There is a problem with the humble position."
Lu Xuan asked: "What's the problem?"
Lu Meng said: "All the shops are selling grain overnight. If this continues, although there is a lot of grain stored in our granary, will it be insufficient?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and explained: "There are many people buying food because they are worried about the sharp rise in prices. In fact, food prices have been stable for several days in a row. Many people have found that the supply of food is stable and there will be no problems, so there will be no large-scale Buy food and stock up.”
"Without anyone running, daily sales will decrease, and subsequent sales will naturally return to normal. The key to this matter is to appease people's hearts so that people will no longer worry, so they will rush to sell."
Lu Meng nodded thoughtfully.
He has been reading, and his whole person has become more and more transparent. He is not as focused on wielding swords and guns as before.
Lu Xuan took Lu Meng back and arranged for Zhang Zhao to notify him. In a short period of time, the order was implemented, and all grain shops in the east, south, west, north, and middle areas of Shu County were open all night and sold grain without closing.
The news spread and caused a sensation.
The restless people's hearts were completely calmed down, and some of the people who lined up felt relieved and left.
There is a supply of food, so you can buy it at any time.
The chaotic people in Shuxian County were stabilized, and the news reached Lu Tong's ears overnight.
In the study, Lu Tongku was sitting.
He was even more angry when he heard the news reported by Lu Dashan. Angry at Lu Xuan's decisiveness, he even stayed open all night to appease the people.
It can be seen that Lu Xuan definitely has enough food.
Not worrying enough.
Lu Dashan was a little worried and said: "Shopkeeper, Lu Xuan is very powerful. We are also members of the Lu family, why not just sell the food at a fair price? It will not be good for us if we continue to make trouble."
"You know shit."
Lu Tong glared angrily and scolded: "If you give in now, what right will the Lu family of Wu County have in front of Lu Xuan in the future? Our Lu family must let Lu Xuan know that the Lu family of Wu County is his backer. He has to rely on the Lu family Only with support can we gain a foothold. He must give the Lu family enough benefits."
Lu Dashan smiled coquettishly.
No more talking.
Lu Tong waved his hand for Lu Dashan to retreat, looked at the flickering lights in the room, and murmured: "Lu Xuan, tomorrow morning, some people will use rotten food to make trouble, and some will advocate that you compete with the people for profit. I don't know. Let’s see, how do you deal with it?”
