After dealing with such a small episode, the sky has completely darkened.

He Dayou: "Uncle, the person has already been taken away!"

Xiao Yan: "Okay, we've been tired all day, it's time for us to go back! Let's continue serving porridge tomorrow!"

*********************
I thought I could have a good year, but I didn't know that I had to go out of the city to give porridge on the first day of the new year.

There are more and more refugees outside the city!

Zhou Xueer also came to help.

It took five carts and meters in three days.

Grain stores all over the city bought in large quantities because of Xiao Yan, and at the same time raised the price of grain!
What's even more damning is that these grain stores not only raised prices sharply, but also greatly increased the intensity and price of grain purchases.

This has created a situation where there is no food to buy for porridge.

Obviously, the porridge incident was targeted.

The grain stores have been unified, and the amount of grain sold is limited, and the porridge will always use up all the grain.

It's hard to explain if you buy food from the system endlessly.

Zhang Xiaoyi: "Master, we are almost running out of food, do you want to buy some more?"

Xiao Yan: "Don't worry, first take out some of the food in the house and use it."

Damn, do you think your rice and grain merchants will be awesome?

You forced me!
Since you buy a lot of food, right?

Okay, I want you to collect as much as you want!

The first target, Li Kee Grain Store.

Early this morning, Xiao Yan had people pull out all the carts in the mansion.

They found Liu Youcai again, and asked him, Zhang Xiaoyi, Su Yu and a dozen people from Zhaojiaji to pull a cart to the house that Xiao Yan originally bought.

Xiao Yan exchanged his points for two thousand shi of ordinary rice in the warehouse.

Two thousand points were spent.

One cart can hold ten stones, and twenty carts can hold two hundred stones in total.

The mighty convoy drove towards Liji grain store.

Xiao Yan sat in a carriage and followed from a distance.

When they arrived at the Liji grain store, Liu Youcai asked straight to the point: "Do you collect grain here?"

"Take it, 15 taels per stone!"

Liu Youcai: "I have two hundred stones here, do you want Li Ji?"

"Oh, it turns out to be a big customer! Sit down and have a cup of tea!"

Liu Youcai: "Just drink tea for free! If you don't accept it, I'll go to Liu Ji to have a look."

Now the price of grain has been sold for 18 taels per shi, and 600 shi can be resold for [-] taels.

Which fool would not accept it!
So, the shopkeeper readily took all the orders, and happily gave Liu Youcai three thousand li silver notes.

On the second trip, Zhang Xiaoyi was replaced, and Li Ji continued.

On the third trip, Su Yu was replaced, but it was still Li Ji.

In fact, Li Ji already sensed something was wrong the third time, but grain is now a hard currency.

If Li Ji doesn't accept it, there are many other families rushing to accept it.

So, in the end, they bit the bullet and ate all ten batches, totaling two thousand shi.

Xiao Yan got 3 taels of silver, and earned [-] points by changing hands.

The next day, I started to change to another one——Liu Ji.

No more, no less, another two thousand stones.

On the third day, Zhao Ji, two thousand stones.

From the fourth day onwards, Xiao Yan directly asked Li Zhongyi to go out, and hired eighty carts from his friends in the industry.

All twenty food stores in the capital made a trip.

Each family is two thousand stones.

After one reincarnation, I received a bank note of 30 taels!

Points earned [-].

This business is so easy to do, not to mention the money, the points are worth [-].

After the family ate [-] shi, food prices started to plummet.

After all, Xiao Yan, the biggest buyer, has already suspended the purchase.

Moreover, Xiao Yan also made people let out the news that there are still hundreds of thousands of shi of grain on the way to the capital.

Just wait for the grain to be sold to major grain stores as soon as it arrives.

The grain store was already full of the purchased grain, and since there were not many people buying it, the price of course plummeted.

From 18 two jumps to 15 two one stone.

15 taels is the purchase price of the grain store, but it didn't last long, and it plunged to [-] taels again.

At this time, the mysterious buyer made a move and bought all the grain in the grain store at one time. It is said that the price is not ten taels, but nine taels!

This time the grain trip can be said to be a blood loss.

But no one felt sorry for them, who made them want to eat human blood buns.

It's good that they didn't go bankrupt.

The mysterious buyer was of course Xiao Yan, who spent all 30 taels of silver and bought more than 3 shi of grain.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Xiao Yan entered the palace to face the saint.

"Your Majesty, is there something bothering you?" Xiao Yan asked.

Ning Shizheng did have troubles. Recently, more and more refugees gathered in the capital from all over the world.

The granary was running low, and my mother had surplus food for disaster relief.

We can't just watch these refugees starve to death in the capital!

Then what face does Ning Shizheng have when he goes to meet his ancestors?
"I'm afraid Xiao Aiqing also knows that there are too many refugees recently, and I am upset about this! By the way, didn't you set up a porridge shed outside Dong'an Gate?"

Xiao Yan: "The minister is just doing a little bit for the court."

Ning Shizheng: "If only the ministers in the court were like Xiao Aiqing! A few days ago, the price of food was pushed up to almost 20 taels by those profiteers. It really deserves death!"

Xiao Yan: "These people are really hateful, but they haven't violated the laws of Daning, so it's not easy for the court to interfere! Otherwise, they will be punished."

Ning Shizheng nodded: "That's why I didn't punish them. Fortunately, there was a mysterious figure who turned them into an army. It was really very happy. It is said that these grain stores are running a lot of money, which is a bad breath for me." .”

Xiao Yan: "Your Majesty, these are all done by my ministers."

Ning Shizheng was surprised: "What? Did Xiao Aiqing do it?"

Xiao Yan nodded: "I remember when I came to the capital for the first time, I heard that the three major warehouses were short-lived, and I also heard that many places in the south were hit by disasters, and almost all of them had no harvest, so I secretly bought a lot of them. food."

Ning Shizheng: "Xiao Aiqing really cares about the imperial court. I really didn't expect Aiqing to be so farsighted!"

Xiao Yan: "Currently, I have purchased about [-] shi of grain. If I cook porridge every day, it should be able to allow the refugees near the capital to survive this winter."

Ning Shizheng was overjoyed: "Hahaha, Xiao Aiqing is really my lucky general! I am very pleased!"

Xiao Yan: "Ahem, the money I saved is almost spent!"

Ning Shizheng: "Didn't I allow you to sell corn seeds in the capital?"

Xiao Yan: "I've been busy with food matters recently, so I haven't had time to do this!"

Ning Shizheng: "I will reward you with a boa robe and a thousand taels of gold. In addition, tomorrow you will go out of the city with me to hunt in the royal hunting ground!"

Xiao Yan: "Ah? Is there a hunting ground outside the city?"

Ning Shizheng smiled and said: "Of course I have. I have to go every year in the first lunar month. It's not because the refugees are disturbed, so I have been delaying. Fortunately, Xiao Aiqing helped me solve the problem, and I will go hunting tomorrow to relax!"
