Only half a quarter of an hour later.
Qiu Xiaochan led nearly a hundred subordinates to the government compound carrying food!
Pack after pack!
Food fell like a mountain in the government compound.
…
On the dock.
The Wang family, Li family, Xue family, and Zhuyue Lou saw each other pulling the boats to transport food, and they were all filled with dissatisfaction.
"Damn it! Didn't we pull the food here ourselves without telling them? Why did the Li family, Xue family, and Zhuyuelou also bring the food?"
"Brother, the Li family has brought nearly 150,000 loads of grain. How about we add more! Otherwise, they will take all the spiritual stones by then!
I heard that the No. 1 scholar brought back many spiritual stones from the mountains! "
"Report to the housekeeper! A wealthy businessman who came from nowhere has brought nearly two shiploads of grain! Now the government compound is piled up like a mountain."
"What? They actually sell food in front of us?"
The steward of the Li family quickly reported to the eldest son.
"Sir, should we transport the grain up as soon as possible and sell it to the government as soon as possible, and get the spiritual stones first! I heard that the yard is piled up like a mountain!"
"Don't worry! There is always a shortage of food. I just heard the gossip on the dock! It is said that Lin Xuan has too many spiritual stones, and the price of food will increase tomorrow!"
"Is it going to rise again? Is this rumor unreliable?"
"Reliable! It is said that it came from the insiders of Qingyu Guard, saying that Lin Xuan deliberately scattered all these spirit stones to gain a good reputation. If he returns to Beijing with the spirit stones, it will bring disaster to his life. !”
"So that's it, then let's wait and let others sell it. We won't sell it yet! Just guard it on this pier!"
…
After Qingniao came back with many Qingyu guards transporting more than ten carts of spiritual stones. I was surprised to see the mountains of food piled up in the courtyard.
"Lin Xuan, this?"
"Look at the food, it's just here! In the blink of an eye, it's already one hundred thousand denier!"
"One hundred thousand dan of grain? That's enough to feed the people of Yangzhou City for two months. But! Lin Xuan, the price of food still hasn't dropped. If you set the price of food so high now, how can the people afford it?
If you want to sell it at a low price, wouldn’t it be the government that loses money? What's more, our spiritual stone is fake. "
Lin Xuan immediately took a step forward.
"General Jade Bird, lower your voice. Who told you that this spiritual stone is fake? Don't talk nonsense."
"Lin Xuan, I just saw that the three major families and Zhuyuelou have brought several large ships of food and parked it at the dock. They just want to wait for our price to increase again."
"Let them wait, human nature is always so greedy."
Qingniao saw the confident smile on Lin Xuan's face, as if he was strategizing and winning a thousand miles away!
She was awe-inspiring!
Could it be that I really didn't understand Lin Xuan's true intention all this time? !
But now, the purpose of price reduction has still not been achieved!
What is he going to do?
If these three major families and Zhuyuelou really transport food here, they will get the spirit stones.
How can you afford such a high price?
"General Qingniao, inform our Qingyu Guards to put on raincoats and rain gear tonight!"
"Lin Xuan, you are here again. The sky is full of stars and the moon is so round. Why are you wearing a raincoat?"
Mei Jian next to him brought a cup of tea to Qingniao and said with a smile.
"Sister Qingniao, have you forgotten? The young master really has the ability to observe the sky at night. Have you forgotten about the heavy rain in the sea before?"
The blue bird was stunned.
"Lin Xuan, are you telling the truth? Are you just making up random guesses again?"
"Listen to me, you're right! By the way, General Qingniao, this matter is important. The Qingyu Guards must guard the food in the yard! No one is allowed to approach!"
"Will someone come and steal food? Who has the skills to steal?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Don't let anyone get close to the granary. Qingyu Wei has to work hard for two days. It's best not to blink."
"Okay! I understand, I, Qingniao, really owed you in my previous life. Let me tell you Lin Xuan, forget it if you are beheaded this time.
If you don't get beheaded! You must remember the great kindness I, the Blue Bird, have done to help you this time! "
"Of course I remember this, General Qingniao. Don't let me, Lin Xuan, be ruined in the future. Even if you ask me to give you my life, I am willing!"
Qingniao glared at Lin Xuan.
"A frail scholar, no matter who asks you to marry me, you are not afraid of having your back broken by me!"
Lin Xuan: (◔◡◔)
"Is General Bluebird's waist so powerful?"
"Do you want to try it?!"
"Cough cough cough~"
Lin Xuan choked on his tea and coughed several times!
…
The night is getting darker.
Lin Xuan stood in the yard and stayed awake.
"Sister Long, Sister Mermaid, I'm going to trouble you again."
"My lord, how long will it take to roll up the waves this time?"
“This time I’m not just going to roll up the waves and block the way for their ships at the pier to return to the island!
And more importantly, I want to make it rain for you! Just Yangzhou City or Yangzhou Wharf! Can it be done? "
"Okay, it just consumes spiritual power."
"Sister Long, tomorrow is the fifth day. If my prediction is correct, you will have to have strong winds, waves and heavy rain for at least two and a half days! It may be really hard this time!"
"Don't worry, my benefactor! Long Xi will do his best!"
"Master, don't worry, I have become a mermaid fairy now, and my magic power can be continuously replenished from the sea water, so there will be no problem!"
Lin Xuan nodded and waved his hand lightly!
The shrunken Long Xi and the mermaid Yu'er quickly jumped into the sky and disappeared into the dark night in the distance.
…
Mei Jian brought out a long coat for Lin Xuan and put it on his shoulders.
"Master, why don't you go in and sleep? It's so cold."
"Mei Jian, take your clothes back in the yard, it's going to rain soon."
"Okay, Master."
"Mei Jian, why do you believe whatever I say? The sky is filled with stars and the moon is bright and clear. Do you believe that it will rain soon?"
"It doesn't matter whether it rains or not, the main thing is that I trust the master!"
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly and said with a smile.
"I, Lin Xuan, have really accumulated eight lifetimes of blessings to have Mei Jian as my maid!"
Mei Jian smiled as he collected all the clothes in the yard and was about to go in.
Suddenly, the originally bright moon was covered by dark clouds.
She looked up and felt trembling in her heart.
Does the master Lin Xuan really have the guidance of the river god?
Why is it that even with mediocre cultivation, the power of prediction is stronger than those of transcendent masters?
At this moment, Qingniao walked in with Qingfei Wei.
She has been waiting for Lin Xuan's order!
"Lin Xuan, are you going to the dock again to announce that food prices are going to rise?"
"The notice must be posted, but we will not increase the price this time."
"What?"
"General Jade Bird, post a notice and adjust the price to three spiritual stones for one piece of food!"
"What? Price reduction?!"
The blue bird was stunned!
"Today there were still four spiritual stones during the day, but now it's down to three. Are you...are you sure?"
"Very sure! And sure!"
"Lin Xuan, although there are twelve ships on the dock delivering food, if they hear that the price has dropped, they will probably turn around and go back."
"Now that I let them come out, how could I let them go back easily?!"
