Chapter 88: This Circle Again(1/2)
After Xu Zhubu asked someone to strictly investigate the identity of the person in the city.
Then he hurriedly returned to the county munition.
At this time, County Magistrate Zhang was also having a headache about food.
He held the county's granary registration book and kept counting.
How much food can I allocate to the next door to rescue the emergency?
Xu Zhubu walked in quickly with a happy expression on his face.
"Sir, this food crisis has been solved."
County Magistrate Zhang put down the registration book in his hand and asked quickly: "Have you borrowed food?"
"Which family is willing to borrow food?"
"Official Chen's family or Zhao's family?"
Xu Zhubu smiled and said, "No!"
"But a young man from a farmer."
After hearing what Xu Zhubu said, County Magistrate Zhang frowned slightly.
"A young man from a farm family?"
"How much food can he have in his family to borrow?"
Xu Zhubu explained: "Sir, we don't need to borrow food this time to solve the food crisis in the two counties next door!"
After saying that.
He no longer aroused the appetite of Zhang County Magistrate.
He directly told the story that Zhao Ce had just offered advice at the city gate.
County Magistrate Zhang heard him say that the government should take the lead in raising prices.
He looked at him suspiciously, thinking that Zhubu Xu had been attacked by a ghost.
Otherwise, how could he say such crazy words?
It was a bit difficult to explain when Xu Zhubu said this.
He directly picked up the brush on Zhang County Magistrate’s desk, imitated Zhao Ce’s appearance, and drew a circle on the paper.
"Please look, sir."
County Magistrate Zhang looked at the circle and felt a little familiar.
Not waiting for him to think about it.
Zhubu Xu began to explain according to Zhao Ce's words.
Wait until the circles are added to four.
The expression on County Magistrate Zhang's face has become the same as that of Director Xu just now!
Unbelievable!
He has been an official for more than ten years and has heard for the first time that this method can be used to solve the food crisis!
County Magistrate Zhang was patient and listened to Chief Xu's speech.
The voice trembled and murmured: "This...this method..."
"Wonderful! So wonderful!"
County Magistrate Zhang grabbed the hand of Director Xu.
"What kind of farmer family can come up with such a clever plan?"
Xu Zhubu said honestly: "Sir, the student has heard from the scholars present that this person is named Zhao Ce."
"It seems that he was a former classmate of Grandpa Zhao."
"Zhao Ce..." County Magistrate Zhang murmured this name.
He looked at a corner of his desk, walked over and started rummaging.
Zhubu Xu looked at his movements and looked puzzled.
"Sir, do you want to find a reference?"
County Magistrate Zhang refused to answer, but still lowered his head and turned around.
finally.
He held a folded piece of white paper in his hand and opened it directly.
"Zhao Ce, the native of Shuiqiao Village..."
County Magistrate Zhang quickly looked at the information above.
He said, why is this circle so familiar?
It turned out to be the one Zhao Ce who wrote the riddle!
Last time, when Zhao Yuanwai’s affairs happened outside the office, he also asked someone to check Zhao Ce.
But it rained later and I was busy dealing with the disaster.
I didn't have time to see it.
Looking at Zhao Ce's simple resume, County Magistrate Zhang said: "Has Liu Xiucai actually retired such a student?"
Zhubu Xu didn't know about Zhao Ce's affairs.
Seeing that County Magistrate Zhang was thinking about Zhao Ce's life, he thought that County Magistrate Zhang did not know the key.
He tried to shout, "Sir?"
"The students temporarily have someone blocked the city gates and strictly investigated imported personnel."
"Please give me instructions for anything else to do."
Although he could give orders temporarily, the final decision was Magistrate Zhang.
If County Magistrate Zhang said he would not do it, he would definitely not be able to do it.
County Magistrate Zhang came to his senses and said, "Good done!"
"I will write a book to explain the matter to my two colleagues."
Zhubu Xu said with some concern: "I heard a lot of what Zhao Xiaolangjun said just now."
"I'm afraid there will be someone to inform me."
County Magistrate Zhang's eyes flashed and he smiled directly: "What if someone unites with those grain merchants?"
"The price of food will not always be so high."
"When the water recedes, the price of this price will definitely fall as soon as the court's disaster relief food arrives."
"So no matter what, the price of this grain is so high that these grain merchants will definitely release grain!"
"If they don't release food, they will miss this opportunity to get rich."
County Magistrate Zhang pointed at several circles drawn by Zhubu Xu.
"Once you put the food, it will be like these circles you have drawn."
When Xu Zhubu heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh.
"Sir, right!"
County Magistrate Zhang is worthy of being a person who has been immersed in the officialdom for many years.
When he calmed down, he quickly figured out the key to Zhao Ce's method.
That is—
Falling in food prices is the inevitable result of economic leverage!
The food is so high that even these merchants know that the government is raising prices.
In order to ensure their own interests, they must release food!
Once the gap in grain release opens, a large amount of grain will surely pour into the market.
By then, the price of food will continue to fall.
Even if the price falls in a short period of time, it will not return to the past.
There will no longer be such a terrifying sky-high price of food now.
County Magistrate Zhang said again: "But since Zhao Xiaolangjun has told us such a good idea, then we will cooperate with him to act in a play!"
"Our county's granary allocates half of the grain!"
"You transport it to the next county town in private, the price doesn't have to be too high, just..."
"Just sell 160 yuan per bucket!"
