Chapter 281 In five days, food prices fell
"Tread!"
On the official road leading to Chang'an, vibrating sounds came, hundreds of horses galloped, and if someone saw it, they would be destined to be stunned.
The reason is very simple. These people are not the huge and round-waisted men in their imagination, but the whole army of women.
Of course, if someone with a little knowledge, he would know that only one person in the Tang Dynasty had a female army.
"Qianlin, how long will it take to go to Chang'an?"
A cold voice sounded, and there seemed to be a hint of eagerness in the words.
This person is nothing else, but Princess Pingyang. After receiving Li Shimin's letter, Li Xiuning arranged the matter in Liaodong and rushed back to Chang'an without stopping.
With these personal guards, I can say that I travel day and night, and I don’t leave any remaining time, and I just want to return to Chang'an.
"Princess, it's about five days away."
Qianlin's voice sounded, and there was a hint of worry in her words, as if she didn't understand why the princess was so anxious.
However, it is also impossible to question your master, so Qianlin is hiding this matter in her heart.
"Um!"
Li Xiuning's eyes showed a distant scene, and she felt a little absent-minded, as if she had remembered something.
For Li Xiuning, Chang'an is not a good memory, but this time there is someone she has to come back.
...........
As time goes by, the grain from Lingnan has also arrived. As soon as this grain enters Chang'an, the news has reached Shu'an's ears.
"Sure enough, Li Shimin couldn't stand his character."
Shu An's eyes flashed and murmured softly, this incident was not beyond his expectations. Feng Ann naturally dared not to obey Li Shimin's orders.
What's more, who sells it is not a seller. Anyway, for Feng Ang, the food in Lingnan is not precious.
If it can consolidate its position in Li Shimin's mind, then it is the top priority. You must know that many people impeached Feng Ang last time, and I believe this Feng Zhuguo should be so scared.
After all, Lingnan is nothing in this era, but Feng Ang knew what would happen if he rebelled.
Of course, in Shu An's eyes, Feng Ang's best rebellion was the time of the Xuanwu Gate change. Since he did not rebel at the beginning, he naturally would not.
In fact, there are many records about the Feng family in Lingnan in history, and Feng Ang also had no idea of rebelling.
"Master, this batch of grain has attracted a lot of attention when entering Chang'an."
Lai Fu said to his master, with a look of admiration on his face, because all this was expected by his master.
"Then start planning."
Shu An said softly with his eyes flashing, "Anyway, the loss is the interests of these aristocratic families, so he naturally doesn't care."
What's more, Li Shimin took the blame this time, and he was even more happy. Anyway, if Li Shimin did too many things to take the blame, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Chang'an
"What, cheap food?"
"How is this possible? How can these grain merchants reduce prices?"
"Since the last natural disaster in Chang'an, the food has not been reduced back, so how could there be cheap food?"
.........
Of course, the discussion caused by a batch of grain was not enough. However, a large amount of grain was still escorted into Chang'an the next day.
Even the grain merchants who didn't care about it before began to panic at this time, and they obviously couldn't hold back their anger.
On the third day, the same scene happened again, and the grain transport team continued to be escorted in from Chang'an.
And these grain merchants really couldn't sit still, and they all contacted their relationships to know where these grains came from.
Some grain merchants' words have begun to shake, and they have begun to lower prices one after another, a dou of rice has dropped by one penny, and some have even one and a half penny.
You should know if anyone in Chang'an is the most sensitive to rice prices, then it is naturally these ordinary people.
They are most aware of the fluctuations in rice prices every day, but today there are some strange expressions on every common person.
"What's going on? The rice price has dropped?"
"Are you going to take this opportunity to buy a few more buckets?"
"Wait, don't worry, I heard that Changan rice prices will fall again."
......
The people couldn't help but talk, and a look of joy and hesitation appeared on their faces.
After all, they are not sure whether the rice price will continue to fall or rise. If it rises, they will definitely regret it.
At the same time, some people in Chang'an also discovered such a strange situation, that is, the rice price has fallen.
This person is no one else, but Changsun Wuji, who is in the Duke of Zhao's mansion at this time, even if he is a little scared.
"Fortunately, there was a teacher's reminder."
Changsun Wuji murmured softly, you should know that his industry has stored a lot of rice and grain. If it is under the impact of Lingnan grain, it will definitely lose at least half of its value.
Of course, Changsun Wuji also hesitated a little when facing this matter. He was trying to reveal the news.
Finally, I thought about it and asked someone to invite a few familiar people. After all, Lingnan’s grain has not yet fully impacted, so it is some that can reduce some losses.
On the fourth day, the rice prices in Chang'an fell again, and they even returned to the previous five-civilian period in Chang'an.
"The grain has been reduced to five cents?"
"Have these grain merchants discovered the conscience?"
"What's going on?"
...........
The sharp drop in grain prices this time not only attracted the attention of the people, but also many scholars in Chang'an are also discussing this issue.
There is no airtight wall in the world. In fact, after the news of Changsun Wuji was revealed, it was destined that this matter could not be hidden.
Of course, even if Changsun Wuji concealed it, Shu An would not be able to spread this matter.
Five-money is not the lowest price now. At least in Shu'an's opinion, there is still room for decline, so we just wait for the news to spread completely.
And on the fifth day, under the secret promotion of Shu'an, news about Lingnan food had spread throughout Chang'an.
"What? Lingnan food is so cheap?"
"It's only two cents, so you can buy a lot of food."
"It turns out that Lingnan has two seasons of rice a year, no wonder it is so cheap."
.........
Everyone was sensational for a moment. You should know that Lingnan is still a bitter and cold place in many people's perception, but I didn't expect that there would be such surprises.
This is similar to the expression of Li Shimin just heard about this incident, but this is not the end, because there is still news.
"The grain from Lingnan has arrived in Chang'an!"
This short sentence of news became the last straw that hit these rice merchants, and for a time, the grain prices in Chang'an collapsed again.
