Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

These convoys did not stop, and drove directly into the household department.

In the afternoon of the same day, the unscrupulous commanders in various cities took their unscrupulous people to go door-to-door to notify: "From tomorrow, the imperial court will officially sell grain, and the price of grain will still be calculated according to the previous price increase. Five cents a bucket, if you want to buy it." Please be early."
This news immediately made everyone excited: at this time, the imperial court still has a high prestige in the hearts of the common people. Since they sell grain, the price must be set according to the announced figure, otherwise, the imperial court's prestige will be lost. Gone, no one will ever believe what they say again.

However, there are still many people who don't want to believe it: Now that the price of grain on the market outside has skyrocketed to 55 cents a bucket, could it be that the imperial court is so benevolent that they would rather lose money than sell it?

In the words of those bad guys, His Majesty the Emperor took pity on you poor ghosts, and he was afraid that you would starve to death at home, so he specially rewarded you.

Although the words are ugly, it is strange that most people actually believe them.

As for a small number of guys who still refused to believe and shouted "this is a trap", no one paid any attention to them.

Your Majesty is afraid that the people will starve to death, so you bring out this new type of food, you are not grateful to Dade, but you still say such things?
Are you a spy from the north?
But in Cui Tongjian's house, the atmosphere was extremely dull.

Because many mansions were used as mortgages for loan sharks, many members of the Cui clan lived in Cui Tongjian's mansion, which made it much more crowded than usual.

In the front hall, all the Cui family members with official positions gathered here, but no one in the hall made a sound.

Cui Tongjian sat on the main seat and said, "Everyone, let's say a few words. What should we do now?"
"Uncle Six, I don't think we can just give up like this, otherwise we will lose everything."
"Yes, you can't just surrender to the imperial court, unless the imperial court is willing to buy all the grain at the current price."
"My house is mortgaged and borrowed loan sharks. If I can't repay it, what will I do in the future?"
Those who said these words were all radical young people, but the aged Cui family members didn't think so.

"I think we should withdraw in time and sell the grain as soon as possible. Only in this way can the loss be minimized."
"Although the price of our purchased grain is already high, and the interest on borrowed money is added, if we sell it in time, the loss is not unacceptable."
"Yes, I have long said that this matter is unreliable, it's good to get out sooner!"
These elders of the Cui family are well-informed and know the truth that it is difficult to start a business and even more difficult to maintain a business. They want to evacuate in time and win if they pay less, but the young people refuse to agree.

"Our Cui family has wasted so much energy and used so much manpower and material resources, just to pay less money?"
"Uncle, I remember when you were going to hoard food, you seemed to shout the loudest, why have you changed your mind now?"
"No, the imperial court must buy the grain in our hands at the current price."
In this way, the two waves of the Cui family members almost pinched under Cui Tongjian's nose.

Although some Cui family members are young, their seniority is not considered young in the clan. They yelled so loudly that Cui Tongjian didn't know what to say.

"Enough, stop arguing!"
No matter what, Cui Tongjian is also the owner of this place, and he is the one with the highest official position, and his words can be considered to have some weight. A sudden loud shout made the two groups who were about to start fighting quiet a lot.

"For the sake of those fools, look at your virtues, why do you have the face to claim to be the children of the Cui family? What about the sage books you usually read, have you read them all in the stomach of a dog?"
"Uncle Six, you can't say that. Without A Duwu, how can you live in such a big house? You treat money like dung, so you have the ability to give us the house."
"Yeah, don't stand and talk without back pain."
Then... there was no more, Cui Tongjian found that his official position as Minister of Rites was useless in front of these tribesmen.

He suddenly hoped that the prestige of the imperial court could overwhelm these powerful people, even if he was also a beneficiary of powerful family politics.

After arguing for an hour, a consensus was formed within the Cui family: if you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, you must fight the court to the end.

The other thing is to quickly seek help from Boling's family, and let them bring the money as soon as possible, so as not to make a big joke about the property being taken away by the creditor.

If that was the case, the Boling Cui clan would lose all face by them.

The reason why they decided to continue fighting with the imperial court was because many people subconsciously did not believe that the imperial court would provide enough food at once——

Even if ordinary people panic, they will not be able to buy much food due to financial constraints, but these aristocratic families and those rich people who have invested their capital will definitely go crazy in order to preserve their wealth.

In the early morning of the next day, a notice was posted at the entrance of each market, that government-run rice noodle shops would be set up in the twelve markets, and everyone could go and buy by themselves.

But now because of the locust plague in Guanzhong, part of the food has to be used for disaster relief, so a purchase restriction policy is implemented in Chang'an, and each person can only buy [-] catties of food every ten days.

The Cui family and the rich people who heard about this said they sneered, isn’t it just a restriction on purchases, but we have a lot of family members, at worst, it’s enough to mobilize everyone to buy.

If you still find it troublesome, you can buy it directly from ordinary people, at worst, add a penny to the price.

When the government-run rice noodle shops in the twelve fangshi opened their doors, they were facing the people of almost the entire Chang'an.

These common people almost blocked the street in front of the rice noodle shop, which made those bad guys have to wait here with their men to maintain order.

After seeing the grains displayed in the rice noodle shop, the common people almost went crazy. Everyone bought twenty catties.

But in Anshanfang, the order here is much better, because most of the people living here are disabled veterans who have followed Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin did keep his promise, and bought a piece of property for each of them here—they can live in it all the time without charging any fees, and their family members can also inherit it, but they are not allowed to rent out and sell.

In addition, Li Wenbin also found a lot of livelihood for these veterans, so as not to be poor.

Those veterans can make wine and work here. As long as they are willing to put in the effort, they will definitely live a good life.

As for being tired?
What to be afraid of if you are tired, your strength will reappear after you sleep.
