Chapter 418 The truth is in hand, and the heart is peaceful.
Pingyang City is along the river, and the river water comes from western mountains and flows east into the sea. This brings great freight convenience to Pingyang City and also feeds countless peddlers and pawns in Pingyang City.
Pingyang City is not a traditional large grain-producing area. Every year, the grain harvest season, only grain flows in and out, but no reason. But this year, the guys in Pingyang City transported the grain that were difficult to see in previous years. Pingyang City is actually transporting out grain! After careful investigation, it turned out that it was the grain ordered by the surrounding counties from Lizhuang.
Speaking of Lizhuang, no one knows that the people of Pingyang County are the private property of Gao Li, the king of Yannan. They used a machine called a tractor to drag various magical machines to cultivate the land. No one who has visited is not surprised by the magic of those machines. It is obviously such a bulky machine, but it is easier to use than ten oxen! A while ago, many people went to watch the food harvest in Lizhuang when they were free. The more they looked, the more sad they felt. If they had such a machine at home, wouldn’t it be possible to get the harvest of farming in one day?
At this time, many grain merchants came here because this is the season for grain transportation every year. However, this year the grain output of the surrounding counties is not high. Only a very small number of shipments are shipped, and the prices are relatively expensive. Because many landlords have replaced their land for cotton to seek greater profits. For a time, cotton was listed on a large scale, and the price of cotton began to slowly fall, and due to the shortage of grain, the world's grain prices began to rise.
Therefore, under this background, there was actually food to be transported out of Pingyang City, which made many grain merchants feel inexplicable. Then they found out that it turned out to be the grain of Lizhuang, which made these grain merchants even more strange.
Are the grains in Lizhuang still sold?
It turned out that the grain merchants in Pingyang City knew that this year's food shortage, and they also went to Lizhuang to ask whether the grain was taken out. At that time, Lizhuang replied that this matter needed to be asked for instructions from Gao Li. As a result, the first group of people who went to inquire were timid and recalled Gao Li's terrifying pricing habits. Coupled with the current title of King Yannan, the group of people ran back. As a result, somehow, all the grain in Lizhuang had to be used by Gao Li himself, and there was no rumor that he would take out. So later, no one went to inquire.
However, while they were still waiting for foreign food, the food from Lizhuang was going to be transported away!
How can this work?
What stupid pigs were reported to be saying that Lizhuang’s grain would not be sold!
In less than an hour, several large grain merchants in the city gathered together. One of them took out a bag of rice and handed it to everyone, saying, "Look at it, this is the rice produced in Lizhuang."
Several people grabbed a handful of them from their pockets, put them in front of them to identify them carefully, and then exclaimed: "The grout is full and the harvest is timely. In the future, this will be a good rice of first-class quality!"
The person in charge said, "But these good rice will be bought by outsiders! When you came, I had already sent someone to Lizhuang to ask, those foreign grain merchants wanted to buy the excess grain in Lizhuang, so Prince Gao agreed. Now those people are mobilizing ships to come here to get food!"
"What!" a man widened his eyes, "That's great? We don't have enough food, so how can we give it to them! Especially these rice, they are all top-notch goods. Will they eat it? Are they worthy of eating it!"
"So I urgently summon you to come, just to protect our own food in Pingyang City! Dear colleagues, it's okay for us to intrigue on weekdays, but today we must advance and retreat together. My people have asked that Lizhuang has not signed a lot of food for the first order, and this time it's just the first batch of grain merchants. They can't eat too much, but if they wait until they transport these grains back, the grain merchants there will not be much price when they see such good rice, I'm afraid that all the grains in the whole Lizhuang will be eaten by them!"
"You tell me! How do we do it!"
"In my opinion, now we will collect the funds in our hands and go to Lizhuang to get all their excess grains! When the second-class rice from other counties arrives in the future, these first-class rice produced by Lizhuang will definitely be sold at a good price!"
"That's it!"
So, a battle to defend food began vigorously.
Gao Li didn't know about the follow-up, but after hearing the news in Yannan City, he sighed that these Pingyang merchants were so slow that they had already come to your doorstep to buy food. You actually knew about our food takeaway.
It's a bit incredible, but it also reflects the name of Gao Li, the King of Yan Nan, from another side, which is still a bit important.
Gao Li doesn't really care who the food is sold to. As long as it does not cause famine, the market will naturally have its own adjustment methods. If there is a real problem, there will be a guarantee for the government. After all, this year is not a disaster, but because of the reduction of planting area. Although the food is more expensive, it will definitely not be as fast as people to death.
This year's high grain yield made Gao Li happy, which means the victory of mechanization. With the further popularization of mechanization, the area of land that every farmer can manage will become larger and larger. They will evolve from farmers to farmers, and by then, they will contract huge areas of land in units of households. Then, Lizhuang's grain will quickly monopolize the entire market at an incredible price.
Yes, the entire market!
The weather gradually became colder, and the beets of the northern bear demons gradually entered the harvest period. Of course, Gao Li did not forget the agreement with them. Of course, if beets were used to make wine, it would be too wasteful. The biggest use of this thing is naturally to make sugar. However, if it is developed into a dish, it may be more popular. Of course, this is not a problem. As long as the bear demons can support themselves, form a virtuous cycle, and no longer invade the wolf demon's territory, Gao Li's goal will be achieved.
Gao Li naturally did not forget his promise to the bear demons. Their favorite spirits are made of sugarcane. Compared with grain wine, sugarcane wine does not have such a strong aroma, but has a more bitter feeling. But the bear demons actually don’t care. What they care about is whether the wine is strong! Gao Li no longer needs to worry about this kind of thing, everything has been arranged in an orderly manner.
Just when Gao Li thought everything would go smoothly, news suddenly came from Shangjing. Yun Qingyang and Yun Wu were back, and the other snow eagle demons were gone, and the sky-breaking warriors sent by the emperor were gone.
The one who sent Gao Li was Lu Sinan. He originally planned to leave Yan Nan, but not long ago, the Eighth Prince came here and told him that the emperor and Gao Li had reached a tacit understanding and that they would not threaten them again in the future, so just let him stay here with peace of mind. Therefore, Lu Sinan stayed nervously. After a period of time, there was indeed no danger, and he gradually re-integrated into the role.
Now, he met Gao Li and brought the emperor's handwritten letter. Gao Li opened it and saw that he frowned immediately.
"Thank you, I won't leave you for dinner, please give me some advice." Gao Li said.
"You are polite, the villain will leave." Lu Sinan hurriedly ran away. Just kidding, it would be nice to eat, but it would be nice if you don't eat people!
There is not much information in the letter, only saying that Yun Qingyang and Yun Wu were seriously injured, had broken meridians, and even the top famous doctor in the world, who claimed to be the "living dead", Yi Yiyi was helpless. He had to let Gao Li go there in person.
Upon receiving this letter, Gao Li immediately called Nonoka and Ling Long to his side. Nonoka said: "If this matter is true, it must be something I have to go, but I am worried that the emperor will not be kind."
Gao Li nodded and said, "This matter is too sudden after all, and it is right for you to worry. But since I have reached a trust between me and the emperor for the time being, he should not have set up such a Hongmen banquet for me."
"What feast?" Ling Long and Nonoka looked at Gao Li at the same time.
Oh yes, there is no such allusion in this world.
"The red door banquet is full of blood, which means that this trip is dangerous." Gao Li forced an explanation.
"It's okay, I'll follow you." Ling Long said.
At this time, Ling Long had a super martial arts cultivation level, because he had surpassed Wu Ji and surpassed the extreme martial arts that ordinary people knew. I don’t know what level to call her now. But it is certain that if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no opponent in this world.
