Chapter 42 There will be thunderstorms today

Early the next morning, good news came.

Food prices in Shangyuanju suddenly collapsed overnight!

It turns out that due to the influx of a large number of grain merchants in Shangyuan Prefecture, there is competition among them. Some small grain merchants cannot compete with large grain merchants, so they have to engage in price wars and take the lead in lowering prices.

When other grain dealers saw that people were buying grain from others, they also lowered their prices.

Just one night.

Food prices actually dropped to normal prices.

The local grain merchants in Shangyuanju were completely dumbfounded.

But in just one day, why did the price of food fall to the bottom all at once?

I was originally expecting to make a lot of money, but now it's good to be able to sell the grain I have.

Mr. Zhou, who had not slept for two nights, finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning the news.

Before I went to bed, I was still thinking about when did Prince Rui become so powerful? With just one official document, he could turn around the price of food in Shangyuan Prefecture overnight without any effort. This trick was really wonderful!

For the past two days, Lu Yunluo has been staying in the cold palace tinkering with gunpowder.

I almost blew myself up several times because of the wrong proportions.

Fortunately, she escaped by hiding in space in time.

When it first exploded, Yinshuang was shocked. Later, she thought about how the empress can use stones to create ice cubes. What could be more magical than this?

In comparison, the few popping sounds from time to time are not a big deal.

In addition, she had been in the harem in front of her for the past two days to inquire about news, and she didn't spend much time in the cold palace during the day, so it had no impact on her.

Anyway, the empress must be researching something very powerful.

"Yinshuang, please don't go out and run around today."

"Why?" How can we find out the news if we don't go out? They live in a remote place, and since the former emperor came here once, they haven't come here for the past two days.

She is the only servant beside the empress. If she doesn't go to the front to inquire about the news, how can she know what is going on with the emperor?

Lu Yunluo glanced at the sultry sky outside and said, "There will be thunderstorms today."

"Thunderstorm?" Yin Shuang looked at the bright sun above her head and became confused.

Will it rain under such a strong sun?

Lu Yunluo smiled and did not explain.

A person walked to the laboratory she set up not far from her bedroom.

This is an empty and simple wooden tent that she temporarily built, specifically for conducting gunpowder experiments here.

He began to invest in gunpowder experiments again.

Above the court hall.

Ji Wujue, wearing a golden-clawed dragon robe, was sitting in the main hall.

The bright golden crown on his head made his already evil handsome face even more like a god's palace, and his innate imperial aura made people dare not look directly at him.

He played with the piece of paper folded into squares in his hand and listened to the minister below's report with an indifferent expression.

"Your Majesty, officials from all over Japan have reported that many wealthy people have begun to stock up on large amounts of grain. Within a short period of time, grain prices have begun to rise. Although the current prices have been controlled within a certain range, if this happens again

If this continues, it will trigger the whole people to collect grain, and no matter how much food there is, it will soon be out of supply." Taiwei Lu looked serious.

This is an unprecedented crisis for Donglan Country.

Food is the most important thing for the people. If it is not handled well, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Ji Wujue looked at the note in his hand with a cold expression, the two days had expired.

Before he went to court today, he accidentally left this square piece of paper on the desk in the imperial study room that he had forgotten.

Thinking of the woman's vow that day, he took it apart and took a look.
