For food, many families are queuing up early and at night, and everyone in the family goes out to buy an extra copy to store it so that they will not go hungry in the future.
So recently, the people in front of the Lin family's grain store have never been broken, and the long queue is simply terrifying, and that's it, one person can only buy one pound of food.
But on this day, the door of the Lin family's grain store was suddenly closed, and the guys put up all the planks, and the door was closed, and in an instant, such a move made the surrounding people uneasy.
"Shopkeeper, what's the matter, why don't you sell food all of a sudden?"
asked an older man, his slightly stiff back even more crooked, and he was about to be lined up, so why didn't he sell it "Yes, why don't you sell it, we don't have rice in the pot at home, so we are waiting for the grain to go back to cook, if we don't sell it, we can only go hungry."
Others said so with horror in their eyes.
"Is it that the Lin family has no food" Some people are so suspicious, thinking that they have been buying food all night in the past few days, and the Lin family's grain shop has far more food than before, so they will guess so.
"Open the door, let's buy it, we can't say we won't sell it if we don't sell it," someone shouted, and when he finished shouting, he shrank back, obviously making trouble, and the officers and soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order around him glanced at the crowd, thinking that they were going to arrest people.
"Shut up, the shopkeeper has something to say" The soldier shouted, they don't have the good temper of the shopkeeper, if these people don't know how to lift, they will make trouble in front of the Lin family's grain store, and they will all be arrested.
Hearing this, everyone quieted down, and shrunk their necks in fear.
These soldiers can not be provoked or not, what they hold in their hands are real knives and guns.
"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, people, don't panic, there is a reason why we have closed the shop.
Everyone should know that in the past two days, there has been a crazy rise in food prices.
Because of this, the villagers were unstable, so they all came to the Lin family to buy food.
But everyone should also understand that where can we buy grain in Beijing, all the grain in our shop is transported from the south, and the emperor has authorized the army to escort it, so that it can arrive so quickly.
But even so, it was not enough for everyone to buy food like this, so the eldest lady gave an order. ” The shopkeeper paused a little when he said this, and the hearts of the people were lifted.
None of them are aimed at the Lin family's grain store, nor are they aimed at the eldest lady, now, if the Lin family really has no food, they can't do anything.
"The eldest lady gave an order to a few of our shopkeepers, so that everyone is so scared, there is no food at home, I will sell all the grain of the Lin family, so that you have food in your family first, and then we will mobilize food from other places, and we will definitely not let everyone starve."
The shopkeeper said this, and the crowd instantly boiled.
It's not that it's not sold, but it's going to be sold out, and everyone is excited.
"The eldest lady is really our savior."
Someone said so.
"Yes, only the Lin family can sell grain to us at such a low price."
Someone said excitedly.
"I need to send a message to my house quickly and ask them to come and get food."
Someone else said that, and at the same time wanted to go home and deliver the news.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, please listen to me again."
As the shopkeeper said this, the crowd settled down, and he nodded in satisfaction, and then continued.
"This time, the eldest lady said that all the grain in the grain store was sold, so we opened the back door and let everyone take the grain directly from the grain warehouse, but a family can only buy five catties of grain, and there will be no more, you must save money when you buy it back, and wait for the Lin family's grain to be mobilized again."
When the shopkeeper said this, everyone nodded hurriedly, and at the same time passed the news outward, and at the same time, there were also officials holding gongs and drums, shouting in the street.
In just half an hour, everyone knew that the Lin family wanted to sell grain, and they wanted to open a warehouse to sell grain.
Hearing this news, the people cheered, and they were naturally willing to buy more cheap grain, that is, if the price of grain rises in the future, they will not lose money on what they have saved now.
Everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, and as soon as the news of the Lin family came out, everyone flocked to the Lin family's grain store, dragging the family with them, for fear of buying less.
And there were also a few big grain stores who were also very excited when they heard the news, they never thought that Lin Xi would make a stupid move and sell all the grain.
Originally, they had cut off the supply of goods in the south, just waiting for the Lin family to sell out the grain, and the people had no choice but to come and buy their high-priced grain.
But I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Lin family was so confident that she was going to sell all her food.
This is actually equivalent to helping them, don't look at five catties of food for one person, and they can eat for a few days As long as they run out of food, the eldest lady of the Lin family will find that no matter whether it is north or south, there is no food to buy in a short period of time, and even if they buy some, it will not solve the problem of so many people eating food, and then it will be their opportunity to make a lot of money.
"It's really great, give the guys in the whole grain store a holiday today, let them all go home and buy food."
The old man of the Meng family said with a smile, with a happy face.
"Thank you, master, thank you," the guys said, closing the door of the Meng family's grain store, and hurriedly went to buy food.
Don't look at them as men from the Meng family's grain store, the grain they bought is still high-priced grain, so they would rather go to the Lin family to buy it.
The Meng family was the first to do this, and other grain stores followed suit, closing their doors one by one, giving the guys a holiday, and they couldn't wait for the Lin family's grain to be sold out as soon as possible.
And Lin Xi didn't seem to know that he had fallen into someone's ambush, but he privately sent a letter to Zhou Governor's Mansion in Jinping City, and after Zhou Governor's Mansion read it, he pondered for a while before he made up his mind and prepared to join forces with Lin Xi to deal with these black-hearted grain merchants.
However, in just two days, all the grain of the Lin family grain store in Beijing was sold out, and some people even saw that there was indeed no food in the grain depot, so they reluctantly left.
Since then, after confirming that the Lin family's grain has been sold out, various grain banks have begun to increase prices, and this time they have doubled on the basis of the original price, which means that the current grain price has been about eight times the original.

If one tael of silver used to be able to buy 100 catties of grain, now you can only buy 10 catties.
The people were a little unable to hold on for only two or three days, not really to the point of exhaustion, but if the price of such food continued, they would sooner or later reach the point where they would not be able to eat.144 t1706231537:
