C238 A Long Journey Alone

When the problem of the water source being polluted was solved, Chu Yun and Yang Jian had discussed it with each other. They would let him ride the Heavenly-horsed Unicorn, Little White, and travel thousands of miles to buy food.

For Chu Yun and his disciple, who had the Lunar Mark and the Lunar Mark, they could gather together at any time through the Space Gate, no matter how far away they were from each other.

The reason why they gave such a difficult task to Yang Jian was because they wanted to hone their disciple's ability, so that Yang Jian could gain more experience in doing things.

Although Yang Jian was still young, his combat strength was already extraordinary. With the Heavenly-horsed Unicorn, Little White, and the Spirit Righting Element Refreshing Spell by his side, even if he encountered a Mountain Sea Stage enemy, it would be difficult for him to pose any threat to the True God.

More importantly, Chu Yun had given his little disciple the Life Substitute Stone, the first reward he had fished up with the Celestial Grade Bait.

With this treasure, even if a Nirvana Stage warrior attacked, it would be impossible for him to kill Yang Jian all of a sudden.

At the moment of a fatal crisis, the effect of the Life Substitution Stone would be activated, sending Yang Jian to a safe location.

And this safe location. . .

Of course, it was beside Chu Yun.

According to the agreed time, Yang Jian entered his Dimensional Pocket. After saying a few words to his master, he took Heavenly-horsed Unicorn, Little White, and hurried back to continue his journey.

Chu Yun saw his hurried look and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Don't be in such a hurry. The food reserves in Cangnan Domain can last for about three days. You should be able to reach Chunhua Prefecture tomorrow afternoon at most. That place is the source of food for Celestial Secret Dynasty, and it can be considered your destination. Therefore, you still have a lot of time, so you don't have to rush.

You can walk and walk more along the way. After all, it's rare for you to travel alone. If you encounter something you want to do, you have to seize it. This is also a unique experience for you. "

Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "The people of Cangnan Yu are still in a famine. I really don't have the mood to take a stroll around. I think it's better to hurry. "

When Chu Yun heard this, he felt even more gratified in his heart.

. . .

On the ninth of August.

Along with the Buping House entering the Cangnan Domain, all the major families and chambers of commerce in the Jinxia City had brought their food to this land of famine.

On the same day, while all the grain merchants were still inquiring about the situation, the people sent by the Buping House had already arrived at various giant cities, and had set up Porridge Providing Shack and grain sales offices in each city.

Outside the White Dew Huge City, in the Green Mountain Manor.

The terrain here was extremely high, and it was located at the peak of the mountain. The surroundings were filled with greenery and beautiful scenery. It was the most luxurious manor owned by the Liu Family in Cangnan Domain.

At this moment, within the manor.

The patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Hanshan, and his allies were in the manor.

Today was their first day in Cangnan Domain, and they still had the food in their hands. They wanted to find out what was going on here and how to sell the food.

The most important thing for them to find out was that Buping House had opened up the Porridge Providing Shack and the Food Provision Office in all parts of Cangnan Domain.

"As expected, those idiots didn't earn any silver and went to rescue the civilians!"

The brawny man sneered and said.

Beside him, the scholarly middle-aged man shook his head and said, "If we only opened the Porridge Providing Shack to help the disaster victims, it wouldn't have much of an impact on us. After all, those who can't even afford to eat, whether they die or live, are not enough for our business. But. . . This grain office will have a huge impact on us. "

To the people present, from the beginning, their target was the leftover food in their hands. Those who had assets but were not very wealthy.

They were also the people who belonged to the second tier in Xu Binglei's classification.

If the grain price was normal, the middle-class families in the second batch could live as usual. At most, they could live a short period of time and it would be normal in the future.

However, once the grain prices took off, the money in the hands of these people would be used to buy grain. If it was not enough, they would have to sell their assets and even sell themselves as slaves. This was what everyone present wanted.

Now, the Buping House had opened the grain department, and the price of food had been stabilized at one tael of silver and twenty catties of food. Those people could afford food, but they couldn't starve, so their plan had failed.

"What effect can it have? Can they persevere?"

The brawny man sneered and said, "Although they have limited purchases, Each person can only buy two catties of food every day, but in the entire Cangnan Domain, they can only buy two catties of food every day. A few million kilograms of food a day, if they continue like this. . . How many days could they last? Even if they prepared ten million catties of food, it would only be enough to sell for three to five days. When they sold out, they would be short of food. Aren't the civilians in Cangnan Domain able to buy high prices of food from us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. They were just like this burly man, and didn't have much to worry about.

These people who were present had basically bought all the leftover food in the Daming Mansion. The ones who had less food in their hands were about three to four million kilograms, and the ones who had more were over ten million kilograms. As for the master of the Liu Family who was in a hurry, it was said that he was related to the Ling Yun Prefecture next door, and he had bought a lot of food at a high price.

In terms of food storage, they had the absolute advantage. Currently, Buping House was collecting food at such a low price. In a few days, the civilians would have bought all their food. As long as the Buping House did not have any food to sell, the civilians would still be afraid of famine and would still buy their food.

The scholarly middle-aged man and the old patriarch of the Liu family, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at each other and said slowly, "The reason is indeed what Brother Tang said. However, I think that the people of the Princess Qi Mansion. . . They are not fools with the young lady of the Minister of War. They must know that they won't be able to hold on for long. However, they still opened up an opening that allows one person to buy two kilograms of food per day. It's hard to say. . . That they have more food reserves than we imagined. "

"Brother Sun's words make sense. "

Liu Hanshan nodded and agreed with the middle-aged man's words. He said, "Zhao Qianli and Xu Binglei alone cannot do something like disaster relief. The people behind them will definitely support them. If the Princess Qi Mansion also wants to obtain something from this famine, then the food storage in Buping House. . . Perhaps it is more than what we have imagined. Let's not talk about anything else. . . The Princess Qi Mansion should be able to produce ten to twenty million kilograms of food. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on the scene looked at each other.

The brawny man frowned and said, "If we want to go through this famine, we have to wait until the autumn harvest season at least. Only by collecting food from all over the land can the Imperial Court have the ability to support Cangnan Domain. There is still nearly a month and a half until the autumn harvest. In such a long time, there were millions of mouths in Cangnan Domain. With just ten to twenty million kilograms of food, it would not be able to last for long.

According to the selling method of Buping House, they need to sell a few million kilograms of food a day, and they also need to set up Porridge Providing Shack to provide unlimited relief to the disaster victims. Even if they have twenty million kilograms of food, they can at most last for ten days. "

"Ten days. . . "

Liu Hanshan smacked his lips and revealed a bitter smile. He said, "If we let them sell for ten days, our business will not be easy to do. "

The price of food was a stage that required a process. They could not afford to lose food in Buping House today. They would immediately increase the price by a few hundred times. That way, they would not be able to eat well.

The correct way of doing things was to double the price today. After selling for half a day, they would announce the end of the goods. After one day, they would release a small amount of food, but the price would continue to double. The people would think that the grain merchants did not have much food left. Then, they would gradually increase the price of food.

No matter how much they reduced the price, to reach the highest price, which was 25 taels of silver per kilogram of food, they would need at least ten days to do it in a more natural manner.

Without the interference of Buping House, these ten days would be a lot of time. By the time the famine ended, they would be able to sell food for at least a month.

But now, a man came out of nowhere and blocked the way of the disaster. He wanted to extend the time for them to sell their food for ten days. He might even give them the time to sell their food at the highest price. There were only twenty days left, or even more than ten days left. How could they wait?

"If we can't wait, we'll just think of a way to reduce the time for them to sell their food in Buping House. "

At this moment, the scholarly middle-aged man smiled and said.

"You want to burn their granary?"

The brawny man glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and revealed a playful expression.

"I don't dare to speak nonsense. "

The middle-aged man did not have a smile on his face. He said, "It doesn't matter if it's the Princess Qi Mansion, the Minister of War, or that mysterious Young Master Chu. They are not people we can easily offend. We are doing business. There is no need to put our lives on the line. I will not dare to use such an outside trick on you. "

"Hmph, what a coward. "

The burly man seemed to have known the other party's answer long ago. He was not surprised and only cursed.

The scholarly middle-aged man looked at him with an unfriendly expression. "Don't tell me you dare to burn it?"

"Of course not. "

The brawny man replied confidently: "But we have other ways to slow down their grain sales. Didn't they provide unlimited porridge? Have all of our subordinates eat it and eat it with their bellies wide open. In a few days, won't we be able to eat all of them? "1

" Idiot. "

The scholarly middle-aged man sneered and said: " If you can think of a way, will the other party not take precautions? Every bowl of good porridge in Porridge Providing Shack was filled with bitter cold grass. You definitely don't know what it tastes like, but. . . As long as there is something else to eat, you will never touch it. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the brawny man frowned. Although he had never eaten bitter cold grass before, he had heard of it before. For a moment, he couldn't help but rub his head and scold, "A bunch of grandsons, opening the Porridge Providing Shack is opening the Porridge Providing Shack, what's the point of adding ingredients inside? I don't think they are really kind. They are just a bunch of hypocrites! "

After scolding, the brawny man saw the middle-aged man's disdainful face and asked snappily, "Then why don't you tell me what you can do?"

"I only have one method, but it works. "

The scholarly middle-aged man said lightly, "They sell grains, so we can just buy them. Although each person can only buy two pounds per day, which one of us doesn't have hundreds of people under our command? Let's go buy them all. Not only can it increase their consumption, but it can also transfer a portion of their food to us. After the food in Buping House is sold out, we can sell them at our price. This is a way to kill more than one person. "

"Good idea. "

Liu Hanshan nodded and said, "This method is feasible. "

After a pause, Liu Hanshan said, "At the same time, we can also ask the local people of Cangnan Domain to see if they can think of a way to buy a large amount of food from Buping House. Even if it is just a one-time sale, it is still profitable to buy more. Anyway, in the end, we can sell it at a high price. "

"The Liu Family Master is wise. "

Everyone present nodded their heads. After some discussion, they immediately regarded the threat of Buping House as weeds and disdained it.

The burly man who stood at the side also sneered and said, "This Princess Qi Mansion supports the Buping House and is trying to save the Cangnan Domain from the disaster. I don't think he is really kind. He is just trying to gain some reputation. He even dares to add ingredients into the porridge. See if I can let you off easily!"

"What do you want to do? If you do something out of line, be careful that Prince Cheng De will come and find you. "

The scholarly middle-aged man frowned and said.

They could be considered as grasshoppers tied to a rope. Selling food and earning some money together was within the scope of the rules. If they dared to use any excessive methods, once Prince Cheng De found out about it, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even the others would be implicated by this burly man.

"Hmph!"

The robust man snorted coldly and said, "Don't think about it blindly. I'm not an idiot. I won't cross the boundary. Just take care of yourself. Don't worry about your father's matters. "

After saying that, the brawny man turned around and left, going to arrange for his subordinates to work.

His plan was to spread rumors in every Porridge Providing Shack and discredit the Buping House. Although this wouldn't be of any practical use, it would still cause the idiots in the Buping House to feel stifled in their hearts.

After being choked by the man surnamed Sun, the brawny man felt a surge of anger in his heart. If he could find an opportunity to disgust the people in the Buping House, he would feel much more comfortable in his heart.
