Chapter 878
Under such circumstances, the people are naturally very happy, just like the New Year.
However, in the face of such a situation, the Lin family did not react at all. They seemed to have completely isolated themselves and did not think about what was going on outside.
This made Mr. Huang a little confused. Aren’t they angry? Isn’t it uncomfortable?
After all, I can be considered as buying grain from them, and I bought grain at a low price, which is equivalent to cheating them.
But I really didn't expect that the Lin family was so calm that Mr. Huang felt a little uneasy.
But now, he has spent 50,000 taels of silver, and this matter must have a result.
So, when he estimated that the city had basically bought out all the food, he changed his strategy.
When the grain shop opened, there were still some people selling grain outside, but they stopped collecting it.
"The food will not be collected today. Are you going back?"
"I won't say it anymore, why don't I collect it anymore! I still have hundreds of kilograms of food in my house!"
These words made the other party laugh and said, "If you have food at home, I have to collect it."
Then the guy paid the price and thirteen cents per pound.
This price is higher than when you close, and the selling price is higher than when you buy, so everyone can accept it.
Just so happened that people who were short of food at home came to buy it.
Some people in the city were more cautious, while others did not participate in the battle between the two grain merchants.
But life has to go on, and they can only buy food.
However, when the food bag was opened, I was stunned!
"What is this! This is brown rice! How can you sell it so expensive!"
"Haha, is this still expensive? I'll tell you that this is not expensive at all.
Moreover, this is the price today, but there will be no price tomorrow. If you like to buy it or not, forget it! Buy it elsewhere."
Hearing this, this person lost confidence, why?
Because during this period, the Lin family had no food, and the food in the hands of the people was handed over.
This was so popular that he went to other grain shops in the city and discovered something amazing.
The other grain shops had no food. It is said that they were bought by the Huang family.
In this way, it is not OK to eat it.
Besides, the family was waiting for dinner, so he had to turn around and go back.
But by the time I went back, the price had risen again, fifteen cents.
But the one sold for 15 yuan is brown rice, while the refined rice actually costs 25 yuan per pound.
The people could only bear to be angry and buy a few pounds to go back to respond to the emergency. They didn't believe that their Huang family could still sell so expensively.
However, what is unexpected is that the Lin family and other grain shops have never opened, and only the Huang family can buy grain in the city.
They wanted to go out of the city to buy it, but found that although the city gate was not closed, they needed approval from the yamen to leave the city.
According to the above statement, I was arresting recently and I took a thief. The man was hiding in the city and couldn't let him run away.
Therefore, everyone who leaves the city needs to be strictly interrogated and interrogated, and then there is no problem before you can get out.
And this is the kind of person who can only go out a few dozen people a day, and it is still the kind of person who can't wait.
So, it is really difficult for ordinary people to leave the city.
The food price of the Huang family is still rising, and has risen to thirty cents!
Not to mention that the price is getting higher and higher every day, it fluctuates several times a day.
Moreover, some people also said that the Huang family's grain was to be transported away and they were to be sent to other cities for sale.
If you don’t buy it now, there will be no food in the next three months.
Hearing this, everyone could only grit their teeth and buy high-priced food, and the price was really high.
Not only did they lose the money they earned some time ago, they also paid the price for it.
Some people also want to go to the princess's house to complain.
But the gate of the Princess' Mansion was closed, and obviously no one cared about this matter.
Some of the people regretted it, some cried and howled. In short, the whole city was full of complaints.
Manager Bai didn't expect that things would have developed to this point, and this was the result of the princess' intentional indulgence.
If Ning Mo wanted to take care of it, she would have taken action long ago and would not have waited until now.
So, she was clearly waiting for things to deteriorate. What was the purpose of? He seemed to be able to understand a little.
Not only did she want to rectify the Huang family, but more importantly, she wanted to teach the people a lesson.
Whether it is for survival or for the people, the Lin family sold food to them at a low price, which should be said to have done a good thing.
However, for such a small profit, these people turned around and sold the grain they bought from the Lin family to the Huang family!
What's this?
If they were to sell the food distributed by the government during the war, would they also sell it?
So, this time they suffered a loss, just to let them see clearly, and they cannot distinguish right from wrong just because of a little benefit.
Of course, there are also some people who understand that they did not sell the food, but instead made themselves successful.
Zhou Mingxuan looked at Ning Mo and felt a lot of emotion. She had never liked to interfere in these things before because it was too troublesome.
But now, she has used a strategy to rectify Ancheng.
"You did this on purpose, do you want them to learn a lesson?"
"Yes, the people are prone to being excited and making mistakes. They cannot be understood by just saying a few words. Sometimes they need to learn a lesson by themselves."
"But if this continues, they will be dissatisfied with the Princess' Mansion."
"Haha, you have to reason even if you are dissatisfied. I can punish them for this matter if the Huang family does something wrong, but they need to be responsible for their own mistakes!"
"What are you going to do next?"
"The people involved with the Huang family are almost exposed. Who made the people unable to get out of the city gate?
This time it is the Huang family, and next time I don’t know which family it is, which can control the lives of the people.
Therefore, we need to find out clearly so that we will not have such terrible hidden dangers around us. We must guard the gates of Ancheng!"
Zhou Mingxuan knew in his heart that this made sense. If the gate of Ancheng cannot be kept well, then why should we mention safety?
"Do you need me to bring someone here?"
"There are many idle people in the princess's mansion. Let them go, just to stretch their muscles and bones."
Ning Mo said this, and Zhou Mingxuan knew that she had made up her mind.
"There should be a result tomorrow. Are you leaving recently?"
Zhou Mingxuan was still reluctant to let it go. Ning Mo couldn't help but smile, and then said, "I have to go back. Although there are people taking care of my mother and Ning Tao is with me, I'm worried that I can't go back.
.
Besides, I haven’t seen Junjun for several days, and I miss him very much. When the child gets older, I will bring him over to show you.”
Ning Mo said this, Zhou Mingxuan sighed helplessly, "Why is this child so cute? Do you miss him very much?"
