Chen He became more and more uneasy, and the ox cart continued to move forward. After a while, he stopped.

Chen He estimated the time and felt that it was not yet Changganli and was about to have an attack, but he heard the crowds of people ahead.

When I opened the curtains, I saw that the streets were already crowded.

This is the south bank of the Qinhuai River, near Huai Liesi.

Countless men, women, young and old came out of the alley, holding various cloth bags and containers, and ran forward.

A long fleet of ships berthed on the banks of the Qinhuai River ahead, and each ship was filled with sacks in the open cabin.

There were a large number of soldiers maintaining order on the shore, and there were also soap-clothed officials mixed in between. A large number of soldiers representing the guise of selling grain were erected, and a herringbone ladder was set up next to it. Some soldiers were riding on the herringbone ladder, holding a cardboard horn and shouting constantly.

This is near the mouth of Qingxi River into Qinhuai River, so...

Chen He felt dry and got out of the car and ran forward. He could hear clearly: "One dou forty quotas, one dou forty quotas! Enough, line up to buy, line up to buy!!"

Amid the shouts, the people who bought grain lined up in front of the guise, and some people ran around to tell each other. As a result, more and more people came to queue up to buy grain.

Chen He walked among the crowd, watching the soldiers transporting large numbers of sacks ashore as they watched the ships.

Looking at the soldiers who opened bags of rice on the shore, the soap-clothed officials weighed rice, and the men, women, young and old who were queuing up to buy rice, they were full of joy, and they felt unbelievable.

Looking forward, the lower Qinhuai River section, the ships are connected to each other at the head and tail, and they can’t see at first glance.

These convertible cargo ships that were upstream were also filled with sacks in the cabin.

A large number of soldiers lined up on both sides of the Qinhuai River to maintain order, and while unloading sacks, they sold grain on the spot.

More and more people gathered, and the streets on both sides of the Qinhuai River were almost crowded with people, but because of the soldiers and officials maintaining order, it was not a chaotic situation.

Chen He walked forward in a daze, looking at the real rice, and watching the poor people carrying the food out with their smiles, he became more and more frightened as he walked.

How could this happen? How could this happen?

The servant's previous voice echoed in his ears, and Chen He felt that he had hallucinations.

Next to the other side of the street, there were grain shops that were about to open. The guys looked at the endless grain ships outside the door, the soldiers, officials, and the people queuing for food to sell food on the spot, all of whom were frightened.

Chen He could see clearly: When a grain store opened, the wooden sign that had not been shown in the store was written on "Today's rice price is 2,150 yuan per bucket."

Soon, the price was wiped off and changed to "Today's rice price is 40 cents per dou".

But it was quickly wiped off and changed to "Today's rice price is 38 ounces per dou".

It is two lower than the grain sold by the river opposite. The store aims to sell the stored grain as soon as possible, not to make money, but to stop losses.

"Scammers, you are the liars arranged by Li Li to act!" Chen He murmured, feeling his breathing rapid.

He couldn't believe all this in front of him, and felt that it must be a play sent by Li Li.

Because Li Li couldn't get so much food!

Chen He calculated it very clearly, and many people calculated it very clearly. Not to mention Li Li, even if the imperial court sent people to other places to adjust grain, it would be impossible to bring so much food in a short period of time without making any sound.

It is even more impossible to dump grain in Jiankang at a price of 40 cents per bullion.

Because the big grain merchants are holding on to the food, it is impossible for someone to sell a large amount of grain to the government for more than 30 cents per bull!

Chen He staggered and walked along the way. On the wooden signs released by various grain stores, the prices of grain were lower than the other, and even reached a low price of 30 cents per bucket.

There is no doubt that all grain merchants are selling grain, not seeking to make money, but only seeking to stop losses, and at least recover some capital.

Chen He had already asked someone to "adapt to the situation", but as he walked, he felt that he had become a walking corpse.

In order to maintain the price of grain, he and many wealthy merchants have used a lot of funds to buy grain, which has caused the reality of Jiankang's shortage of grain.

The government is trying to calm the price of grain. In recent months, the grain has been transferred to Beijing intermittently, and most of it has been "eated" by them.

Such a confrontation requires a lot of financial support, so Chen He and others borrowed money in order to "eat" the grain entering Beijing and maintain high grain prices.

If they can't implement the new tax system, they can make a fortune afterwards.

Now the food price suddenly collapsed, and it collapsed without warning!

From the average price of 2,000 ci per bull last night, it has become the lowest price of 30 ci per bull, with a huge drop.

In this way, even if you sell grain at a low price to recover, how much money can you recover?

Not only did he not have the money to pay the principal and interest of his high-interest debt, he even lost his principal and years of savings, and even sold the land and real estate, but he couldn't afford it.

"Fake, fake, these are all fake. You are all actors. You come here to act and want to lie to me, haha...

Chen He smiled and comforted himself. He didn't think Li Li and even the court had the ability to transfer so much food, so the scenes in front of him were acting.

"I have food, I have food!!"

The shouts started, and gradually more people echoed. Countless shouts sounded on both sides of the Qinhuai River. The people queuing up to buy food and watching were shouting happily.

Looking up, I looked full of smiling faces.

There was also a tide of joy in the south, which was the shouting from Changganli south of the Qinhuai River. The sound shook the sky and echoed over Jiankang.

For several months, the people who were overwhelmed by the food prices have relaxed their resentment in their hearts, and the cheers and smiles from the bottom of their hearts seem to make the gloomy weather brighter.

The tide of cheers, heard by Chen He's ears, seemed to be crying during the funeral.

After a while, he came to the riverside and looked at the large number of ships berthed by the river and the mountains of sacks (grain bags) piled up on the dock, Chen He almost collapsed.

With so much grain, the price of Jiankang will not exceed forty cents per bull in the near future.

But I still comfort myself: these sacks are covered with sand, which is a fool.

Next to him, many wealthy merchants who had arrived after hearing the news were already slumped on the ground, looking at the scenes in front of them, wanting to cry without tears.

The previous spirit and confidence were gone, but it was gone, replaced by a dull face.

The grain prices plummeted, and they were finished, and not only did they fill in all their property, but the creditors would not let them go.

But some people also talked about it: "The scammers are full of sand in these sacks, which is a scammer."

If it weren't for the heavy troops guarding the pier, they really wanted to rush in with their people, poke the sacks, let sand flow out, and then prove to the poor that the government was fooling people with sand.

Therefore, Jiankang City is still "short for food".

Suddenly, Chen He broke free from the support of his followers, rushed forward like a hunting dog that saw a prey.

There, several men left the pier and walked onto the street. One of them was dressed in extraordinary clothes, while the others seemed to be followers.

Seeing Chen He rushing over, he wanted to step forward to stop him, but the man raised his hand and signaled "No need".

"Master Liu Dong!" Chen He grabbed the man's hand and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Are these... really food?"

"Aren't you covering Jing and Xiang's food in Yingzhou? Why..."

The "Master Liu Dong" looked at the old acquaintance and smiled bitterly. He knew what Chen He wanted to ask, but how could he explain the reason clearly at once.

Their opponent was unexpectedly powerful, and they could not refuse the conditions offered by the opponent.

I dare not refuse either.

Chen He and several Jiankang merchants who were raising grain prices will inevitably lose money this time and will even live in a few days because the creditors will not let them go.

For a dying person, at least please click on the reason so that he can set out with peace of mind.

Thousands of words came to my mouth, and there was only one sentence: "The key to fragrant medicine is fragrant medicine."

"Fragrant medicine?Fragrant medicine..." Chen He murmured, thinking of the abnormalities in imported fragrance medicines this year, he quickly figured out the key.

Then he looked at "Zheng Liu Dongzhu" with a shock and lamented: "How could this happen? How could this happen."

It's over, it's all over.
