Chapter 221 Aftermath

After the convoy entered the city, they all rushed directly to the major grain stores under the name of the Ministry of Revenue designated by the Ministry of Revenue! Because in order to prevent crowding on the day of purchase, Zhang Linqi had already issued an order, and all eighteen grain stores were opened to restrict the sale of grain!

Of course, the so-called restrictions are not really limiting the purchase of grain. I can only say that according to normal circumstances, the upper limit of grain purchase set by Zhang Linqi is enough for ordinary people to live. For example, all the people who come to buy grain must bring a book of yellow scale fish (similar to today's households clearly state the situation of each family, how many people are, men or women, etc. []

According to Zhang Linqi's upper limit on buying grain, each household with three people can buy up to three stones of grain at a time. Each household with nine people can buy up to nine stones of grain at a time. In this way, one stone is about 200 kilograms. Each household with three people can buy 600 kilograms of grain, and can eat it for at least half a year. If this is not enough, it is a person who is full or has a bad idea. So from this perspective, the upper limit on buying grain set by Zhang Linqi can definitely meet the needs of the people!

When the convoy entered the city, the direction was very clear. After arriving at their designated locations, officials from the Ministry of Revenue had already been waiting there with the grain store staff. Once the convoy transporting the grain arrived, they would unload the goods together immediately.

So, although the scene is grand, it is not busy. Because each link has been arranged long ago, as for whether the officials of the Ministry of Revenue will take advantage of the favor, there is no need to worry. If the reputation of the general of the Zhenguo country is placed, who dares to take advantage of the favor, unless his head is growing on his neck and wants to change the place!

When bags of grain were transported into the rice shop, all the people were in high spirits, and many people had spontaneously lined up to buy rice. Although the food shop staff repeatedly stated that selling grain would start tomorrow morning. It was still early to line up, but these people were obviously afraid and still stood there persistently.

However, although there are many people queuing, since each grain store originally had 59 towns maintaining order. Now, after asking for instructions from above, fifty towns in each grain store rushed to maintain order. In addition, local officials also came to show their attention and sent many yamen runners to help maintain order. Therefore, although the queues lined up to buy rice were lined up in a long queue, there were many but not messy.

Even at night, the grain store opened the pot and put the porridge in accordance with Zhang Linqi's instructions. Therefore, although each grain store is crowded, it is in order and busy but not in chaos.

After unloading the grain, the grain transport convoy returned without stopping and then transported the grain. After all, according to the current situation, it is conceivable that the purchasing power of the people in the capital will burst out tomorrow morning.

At this time, as the planner of the entire incident, what was Zhang Linqi doing? At this time, Zhang Linqi had returned to the General's Mansion under the protection of many guards. However, even after returning to the General's Mansion, Zhang Linqi still had a lot of things to do. Although in terms of the whole matter, he had already entered the final work at this time, it was still very complicated and complicated.

Of course, these are not problems for Zhang Linqi. He has long arranged what he should do. He should do what he should do as soon as possible, and those you can wait. Zhang Linqi has made arrangements and is confident.

For example, when Zhang Linqi just embarked on his journey back to the general's mansion, the first thing he did was to report the victory to the court! He defeated the Tartars and won the victory! Now that he has seized food, calmed the people's hearts, and also won the victory!

Zhang Linqi knew that over the past few days, not only did the people in the capital have a hard time, but as the helmsman of the old empire of the Ming Dynasty, the storm, Chongzhen's life was not easy. Even if he was not as sad as his hair turned white, it was not far apart! So, now the overall situation has been settled, and Zhang Linqi wants to inform him as soon as possible to make him feel at ease.

After Zhang Linqi returned to the general's mansion, the second thing he did was to set a relatively reasonable price of grain to facilitate the listing of grain tomorrow! Finally, after discussions by Zhang Linqi and a group of comrades, such as Zhou Momo, Fang Wei, Li Sicheng, etc., after listening to Chen Zilong's opinions, he set a super low price, three cents of silver and one stone!

If someone finds this price difficult to understand, it will cost about 50 cents per pound of rice.

In fact, as far as this price is concerned, not to mention profit, the production cost is not enough. The cost of the grain produced in the imperial village is about to reach a quarter of silver per stone! Zhang Linqi had to pay more than the price. When Zhang Linqi set this price, some people found it difficult to understand, such as Chen Zilong.

However, Zhang Linqi said that anyway, so much food was obtained by making money from nothing, so it is not acceptable to sell it at a low price. (This food is obtained from the Jinyiwei's family, and a large part of the Jinyiwei's family is obtained by exploiting people's wealth and paste. Now Zhang Linqi sells the food to the people at a low price, which can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people.)

The third thing Zhang Linqi did was to reward the meritorious ministers of this operation. Of course, this has been arranged until the next day. After all, Zhang Linqi has worked very hard these days. Now the overall situation has been decided and needs a good rest. As for some other small matters, I will not describe them one by one.

Shortly after Zhang Linqi reported the victory, the reply from the palace also arrived. This time the person who came to send the imperial edict was Cao Huachun, who showed that the imperial edict was very high. You should know that Cao Huachun was one of the top eunuchs in the palace and generally did not come out of the palace to send the imperial edict easily.

(In fact, half of this is Chongzhen's meaning, and the other half is Cao Huachun volunteered to get the job. First, Zhang Linqi was very popular, so it was not a bad thing to come to meet more often. Cao Huachun also knew very well that Zhang Linqi's face had always been generous. Now that he has returned from victory, the red envelopes will naturally become richer. Hehe!)

As for the content of this imperial edict, it is very simple. There is only one sentence in the whole article. Thank you for your hard work, let’s take a few days to go to court. After Zhang Linqi passed this imperial edict, he also smiled faintly. Although he and Chongzhen were monarchs and ministers, they were actually more like brothers. (A 25-year-old, Chongzhen was 24-year-old.)

The mutual communication has reached the point of mutual communication, so Chongzhen did not have to treat Zhang Linqi like other ministers. After making great contributions, he would have a very vocal word of praise from beginning to end. Just a simple sentence is enough. But this can better show the deep feelings between the two! As Cao Huachun, who came to pass the imperial edict, after reading this unique imperial edict in public, he could only sigh in his heart how deep the feelings between the king and the ministers were.

Before leaving, Cao Huachun was so happy that he was blinded. Because before leaving, Zhang Linqi gave him a big red envelope with 500 taels of silver notes. After Cao Huachun left, the general's mansion finally became quiet. Zhang Linqi also gave himself a long vacation.

Isn’t there a lotus pond in the general’s mansion? It’s a good time for lotus flowers to bloom and watch. Zhang Linqi ordered people to prepare a small boat, sitting on the left with a square sword screen, sitting on the right with Tang Yanyan, then putting on the four seasons desserts, and then singing a song from later generations.

For example, when spring comes, the green is full, and the big girl embroidered mandarin ducks... Not to mention, although Zhang Linqi has no talent for singing, it is not unpleasant. For a moment, it caused the two beauties to laugh! And Zhang Linqi is also happy with her. It is a great time to enjoy the beauty and the beauty of people and flowers...

On the second day, the most sensational thing was the eighteen government-owned grain stores, which opened their doors to release grain at the same time. It was also an absolutely shocking ultra-low price, with only three cents of silver and one stone! And the people who lined up to buy grain were cheering, and many people even cried with joy.

This price is only less than a fraction of the price before! And the name of the general of Zhenguo was once again circulated by several people!

"I'll buy one stone."

"I'll buy two stones!"

For a moment, everyone was rushing to buy it, and even some poor people didn't have to worry. Because if you don't have enough money to buy a stone, it would be fine to buy a bucket of money. Only three cents of silver, thirty copper coins were added. You could earn this money by just doing odd jobs on the street! (A family of three can eat it for several days, and with some miscellaneous grains, you can eat it for longer.)

Unlike before, after working hard for a day and earning 180 yuan, it is not enough to buy a bowl of rice! So, not only can everyone afford food, but there is also no need to worry about the ones in the back, because the guy in the grain store made it clear and sold it openly, and it would take as much as you can!

The official grain store business is booming, and the rice shops on Chang Street are deserted! The price of four taels of silver and five taels of silver and one stone has long disappeared! However, even if one tael of silver is sold at a super low price, people still care about it. Now, I have bought grain of three cents of silver and one stone, so who will come back to buy their rice!

So, some shopkeepers who were stubborn came to investigate the news. In addition to seeing the business booming, they were unexpectedly acquaintances who were also helping sell food. And not long ago, they were in the same camp as them! This person was Jin Sanbao, the shopkeeper of the Happy Rice Shop. Jin Sanbao rushed forward and backward, busy, and was very busy. He was full of energy!

"Shopkeeper Jin, are you?" The shopkeeper went up and asked in confusion.

"Selling grain!" Jin Sanbao laughed. In fact, Jin Sanbao is just paying for labor when doing this, but Jin Sanbao just enjoys it because others don't know it, but he knows the ins and outs of these grains. These are the meat plates of Jin Yiwei's original Jin Yiwei!

The Jinyiwei killed his son, and he couldn't take revenge. Now he is helping to sell the Jinyiwei's evil money, which is very satisfying! It's so cool!
