The current situation in South Vietnam is unclear, but the price of food is rising again and again.

After a few days, I don’t know how many copper coins per pound it will rise to.

Lin Jiuyue also said just now that the coarse grains were delivered here yesterday, and it would probably take some time to deliver them. In total, I don't know how many days have passed.

If we keep waiting for Lin Jiuyue's food, we don't know how much the price will rise.

"Girl in September, when can your coarse grains be delivered?"

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

Normally, if the news is sent here, the food will be delivered within a few days.

But now I don’t know when it will be delivered, and I don’t know if the other party has food.

"Usually it can be delivered in two or three days, but I don't know how long it will take now."

After hearing this, the villagers all looked sad.

"Miss Lin, we are all villagers, so you should help the villagers and think of a way."

When Uncle Liu heard this, he turned back and glared at the speaker.

"Shut up if you can't speak! Didn't you just say that in September? You will try your best to help us get the food back. If you continue to be so ignorant, you will get it yourself."

Uncle Liu is a bit older, and people in the village still respect Uncle Liu.

The person who spoke was instantly emboldened by Uncle Liu's rebuke.

"Haha, Miss Lin, I was just too anxious. I spoke a bit too harshly just now. Don't take it to heart."

Lin Jiuyue smiled and shook his head.

"I can understand why everyone feels panic when something like this happens. However, no matter how urgent the matter is, there is nothing we can do. If there is no food over there, I can't conjure food for you, right?"

"Anyway, I will try my best to help everyone buy food."

After talking to the villagers for a long time, Lin Jiuyue got away. Driving the carriage to the town.

Some villagers did not want to 'just sit back and wait for death', so after Lin Jiuyue left, they also went to the town. I just wanted to see if I could buy food at other food stores.

As soon as he arrived at the grain store, Lin Jiuyue found Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, what do you say over there? Has the coarse grain been shipped back?"

Uncle Li shook his head.

"Miss, they said that the price of grain has increased recently, and the price of coarse grains will also increase, by one penny per catty."

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

To do business, you have to make money, so you can understand if they raise prices.

"Just raise it by one penny and let them deliver the food quickly."

Uncle Li nodded.

"The old slave told them the same thing. They said that the food will be delivered today, and it is estimated that it will not arrive at our shop tomorrow."

Lin Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the coarse grains would be at the store tomorrow.

"Well, when the coarse grains arrive tomorrow, don't be in a hurry to sell them. There are many folks in Shangbei Village who want to buy grains. Then I will see how much they can ask for. When the folks in Shangbei Village buy it, if there is still more The rest is sold in the shop.”

Although Lin Jiuyue sympathizes with these people, he still makes a clear distinction between those who are close and those who are close.

I am a small person, I can't manage so many people, and I don't have that much energy.

The only thing you can do is to give priority to people you are familiar with to buy food.

"Yes, ma'am."

Uncle Li responded, and then asked again.

"Miss, after we transport the food back, will it be sent directly to Shangbei Village?"

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

If it were sent directly to Shangbei Village, the family's own ox cart would have to make several trips. Besides, I can’t spare so many manpower.

"I won't give it away for now. I'll go back to the village later and do some statistics. See how many people want to buy food."

If there are few people who need to buy coarse grains in Shangbei Village, I can transport a cart back with an ox cart, but if there are too many people, or they want to buy too much grain, I have no choice.

"Okay, miss."

After explaining to Uncle Li, Lin Jiuyue took Xiyue to find a teahouse and asked for a seat in the lobby. Ordered a pot of tea and some melon seed snacks. Sitting in the lobby of the teahouse, I drank slowly.

Communication was not developed in ancient times, but teahouses, places where people gathered, were the best places to collect intelligence.

Not long after Lin Jiuyue sat down, a group of dusty people came in at the door of the teahouse.

"Miss, these people are not from the capital at first glance."

Lin Jiuyue looked at Xiyue with admiration.

This girl has never been in a rich family before, so she still has some sharp eyesight.

"Yeah. Keep talking."

Xiyue's eyes kept falling on the group of people who had just entered.

"Miss, I look at these people. Some of them look like people who have been away doing business all year round. They probably came to the capital for business."

Lin Jiuyue glanced at the group of people who had just entered. He spoke softly.

"Your analysis is very good. Let's listen to what they have to say."

After saying that, Lin Jiuyue sat in his seat, drinking tea and paying attention to the table next to him.

"Damn! I thought I could make a lot of money on this trip to the capital, but I didn't expect that we encountered a war. We lost a lot of money on this trip."

"Huzi! Speak softly and don't whine."

When the person called Huzi heard this, he was obviously unconvinced but still did not refute.

"Brother, we lost a lot of money on this trip. When we go back, do we still need to bring the goods back?"

"Bringing goods? What goods are you bringing! Don't you know there's a war at the border? If we bring goods back, if we lose them by then, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"

There has already been a war at the border. It would be bad if the goods were lost on the way back.

Once a war breaks out, it will not end easily. Unless it is a unilateral crushing by a country.

I don’t know how the South Vietnamese army is and whether it can hold the border.

The man called Big Brother sat on a stool and drank tea one sip after another.

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. We're in trouble this time!"

There have been wars at the border, but they are all small wars and have not had a great impact on me.

"Brother, shall we go back empty-handed this time?"

"What, it can't work??"

Huzi laughed twice.

"Brother, I am following him. Whatever he says, we will do whatever he says."

Lin Jiuyue listened for a while and sorted out some useful information from the conversation at the next table.

After the people at the next table left, Xiyue couldn't wait to speak.

"Miss, the war has really started at the border! Do you think we, South Vietnam, can win?"

Lin Jiuyue has traveled here for so long and has not yet studied the national strength of South Vietnam.

"I don't know, but what did those people say just now? There were just some small wars at the border. It should have no impact."

Gu Chengyan and Qiye are both at the border. If something big happens at the border, Qiye will definitely write a letter to tell him.
