"It should be about the war in the Southwest."

The Yuan family obviously has more "inside information" than Chu Qingge, a "common man".

"I heard Lin Zhi say that due to the arrival of winter in the southwest, the originally stalemate war has completely come to a standstill." Neither side has the intention to use force, but the lack of force does not mean that the army can be disbanded on the spot.

"Military supplies are a big problem." The food of the soldiers is okay. Dayan has not had any major wars in the past few years, so there is no problem in supplying basic food and grass. But this year's winter not only came early.

And it was colder than before. The imperial court was worried about the physical condition of the soldiers in the military camp, so they mobilized a lot of charcoal fires.

Probably because this news was leaked, many charcoal dealers in Beijing took the opportunity to stock up and increase prices.

They didn't dare to go too far with the imperial court, and they continued to act as they had in the past with some well-established families in the capital, but they "attacked hard" with ordinary families, wishing they could sell the charcoal fire several times.

Although the Chu Qingge and Chen families are not considered ordinary families, after all, ordinary families would not buy so much charcoal.

But in the eyes of the big charcoal fire suppliers in the capital, people like Chu Qingge and the Chen family are just ordinary customers.

If you can buy it, you just have to buy it early enough and have enough money.

For those who buy late, don’t even think about buying too much.

"Does the court not care?" Chu Qingge was curious about how the court in this era treated these merchants who hoarded goods and raised prices.

"How do you care?" Yuanshi shook his head and said, "If more people buy something, it will naturally increase the price of that thing, even if many people say that these charcoal fire dealers deliberately cover the charcoal fire and tell the outside world that there is not much left.

But there's actually a lot left.

But they didn't violate any laws, so the court naturally couldn't send people to investigate these charcoal dealers in detail.

And most of these charcoal fire merchants have people behind them.

After all, no one dares to do big business in the capital. If they really send someone to check, they won't be able to find anything. "

"The most important thing is that they only make money from ordinary wealthy people." Ning Ruyun added: "They don't dare to raise prices casually with the imperial court, and they don't dare to offend the princes and nobles."

As long as the people above are not offended, who can do anything to them?

"Ordinary people whose families are not particularly well-off cannot afford charcoal. Most of them save firewood for the winter."

Therefore, the business targets of charcoal merchants are those who do not threaten their lives and lives but also have some money, such as Chu Qingge... Naturally, they will increase the price as much as they want.

In this regard, Chu Qingge could only sigh again. Fortunately, he bought it early. Not all charcoal fire merchants in the capital have a keen sense of smell. It can be seen from the war in the southwest that the capital may lack charcoal fire in winter.

When she made the purchase, although some prices were already rising, she basically didn't buy too much.

But when it came to the war in the southwest, Chu Qingge couldn't help but wonder, "Can the southwest be taken back?"

The people present were all women from the back house, and Ning Ruyun aside, Yuan was a real back house woman.

Even though she could learn a lot of things through the exchanges between her husband and son, she habitually did not talk about them.

She also instinctively refuses to talk to other women about things that should not be discussed by women at home.

But the war in the southwest is not only a foreign matter, it is also about whether they can return to their hometown.
