Chapter 350： Grain Pricing

Chapter 350 Grain Pricing

Chu Lixuan was stunned by her smile, he smiled from the heart, and thought silently in his heart.

Still insist on a variety of rice and potatoes every day in exchange for more horses, "How many horses does Xinxin want to raise?"

"Husband, don't you think about exchanging a lot of grain for horses at a time? Let's exchange some male horses first, and then mares and then unlimited breeding."

"Well~ Xinxin is really smart." Chu Lixuan thought she liked it very much, so she wanted to exchange a lot for her at one time.

It turned out that she was so easily satisfied, Chu Lixuan looked at her with joy, and the more she looked, the more obsessed she became.

Is Jiang Xinyan really easy to satisfy? The answer is naturally no. She likes money very much, especially the joy of earning money.

However, she knew that eating one bite would not make a fat person, she had to eat one bite at a time, and she had to earn money little by little.

However, she also knows that the price of food here is very low. Rice in the south and millet in the north is one of the main foods for the people of Dongchen to satisfy their stomachs.

Grain is affected by factors such as its own laws, climate environment, trade flow, etc., and the price fluctuates accordingly. High prices hurt people, and low prices hurt farmers.

From an economic point of view, observing changes in food prices can truthfully reflect the development of Dongchen Kingdom.

"Food men and women, people want to survive, food is the basic element to sustain life, and the price of food determines the quality of our life."

Jiang Xinyan talked to Chu Lixuan about her outlook on life, values ​​and expectations for future life.

"In March last year, the emperor clearly ordered the three divisions, and the price of one stone of japonica rice or other grains was about 1,000 yuan. This year, due to the locust plague and the continuous fighting in the south, the price of grain has risen to 2,500 to 3,000 yuan."

Chu Lixuan also told her that due to different harvests, the price of Dongchen grains will also be different.

For example, one stone of rice is 118 catties, and the price of food fluctuates due to factors such as floods, natural disasters, and wars.

Thousands of money and one stone of food are not a problem for ordinary people.

"Husband, then we charge 3,000 yuan per shi for milled rice, 1,000 yuan and 1 shi for potatoes, 1,000 yuan for rough noodles, and 2,000 yuan and 1 shi for corn flour, okay?"

"Very good." Chu Lixuan was very satisfied with Jiang Xinyan's proposal. Although it was a bit higher than usual, they were working very hard!

It is much cheaper to sell it with other vendors and families.

Jiang Xinyan remembered Sima Guang's complaint: "The world is getting worse and worse, and the merchants and soldiers all wear silk stockings." Although the words are not pleasing, the wealth of the Song Dynasty is evident.

This Dongchen Kingdom was wealthy before the locust plague, and ranked first in the Shikoku. Now, it is affected by the locust plague and the war in the south.

The people are starving, there is famine in various places, there is an extreme shortage of supplies, and profiteers are hoarding them, resulting in a tenfold increase in food prices compared to last year.

"Xinxin, what did you think of? You smiled so brightly." Chu Lixuan asked happily.

"Husband, we set a price of 3,000 yuan and one stone. It's really a price of conscience. Whether it is grassroots or local tyrants depends on the food in the hands of the little friends."

Lao Niang is undoubtedly a local tyrant of Dongchen Country, a big boss, and will be the richest man in the world in the future, haha!

"Well~ the price has been set, and the trading location has been set. As for the trading time, let them decide! Xinxin, let's go home."

"Okay! Go home and urge them to plant food diligently, haha..."

Chu Lixuan summoned Ice Soul, "Go back and tell the lord, we're leaving, and the transaction time is set, just send us a letter."

King Zhenbei doesn't have any opinion. Now he is a poor man. Without Chu Lixuan's support, their Zhenbei Army can only drink the northwest wind, and what is the deal with North Vietnam!

By the time they negotiated dinner, everything was basically finalized, and the King of Zhenbei wanted to see off the guests.

However, the North Vietnamese mission still wanted to have dinner at the barracks, then stay overnight and go back tomorrow.

King Zhenbei was not good at driving people away, but the Sixth Princess of Beiyue was very unhappy during the meal.

She asked fiercely, "My lord, where are the brothers from Chu Ye?"

King of Zhenbei: "..."

He didn't understand who Chu Ye and his brothers were, he only knew Chu Lixuan and his wife, he was stunned for a while.

The third prince also wanted to know why the brothers did not come to dinner.

"Your Majesty, hasn't Master Chu been talking to us about food prices? Why haven't you seen them after dinner?"

"He! He has already gone back to prepare food. They live in Guanshan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Pingqing Prefecture. It's very far away!"

The King of Zhenbei casually said that the Pingqing Mansion is more than 3,000 miles away from here, and their trading time is set on the first day of April.

It's a long way to deliver food. If Chu Lixuan lived in Youzhou.

The furthest distance is more than 600 miles, which seems to be insincere! King Zhenbei praised his wit.

"That's a long way off, but you Dongchen only have food in Guannei. This prince can understand."

The two of them spoke Dongchen language, which the Sixth Princess of North Vietnam could not understand. There is no beautiful man here.

The Sixth Princess didn't want to guess, and asked directly, "What did you say?"

"Master Chu and brothers have already gone back to prepare food to trade with us." The third prince explained to her.

"What? They're gone? Didn't they say they were going back to North Vietnam with this princess? Third brother, what do you mean?"

"When did they say they would go back to North Vietnam with us? Stop thinking about it, you can eat at ease!"

The third prince suppressed his anger and said that he was not the son of the queen, so in North Vietnam, his status was not as high as that of the sixth princess.

"Okay! You actually helped an outsider to deceive this princess, this princess is your sister! You treat this princess like this without fear of your father punishing you?"

snort! The third prince raised his eyes and gave her a deep look, then lowered his head to eat slowly.

Now, he has negotiated the price of food with the King of Zhenbei, and it is still available in unlimited quantities. He is the hero of North Vietnam.

The third prince did not believe that his father would punish him for a favored daughter.

If this time, there is no such thing as so much food, the third prince may still be afraid that the sixth princess will go back to complain and will be punished by his father.

The pretty princess saw that her third brother, who usually obeyed her orders, actually ignored her this time, so she made a lot of noise and refused to eat.

The    messengers were still a little concerned about the queen, and patiently persuaded, "Sixth princess, this Lord Chu is going back to prepare food. After 20 days, we will start trading items."

"Yes! Sixth Princess, you can go to the trading location and you can meet Master Chu."

"The Sixth Princess will not hope, your father and queen go hungry!"

Mainly because the Sixth Princess didn’t eat, and they didn’t dare to use chopsticks! Otherwise, who would persuade so actively!

The sixth princess is charming and willful, but she still has some scruples about moving out of her father and queen.

Her maid also stepped forward and persuaded: "Princess, your health is important, twenty days will soon pass."

Everyone kept persuading, and the Sixth Princess was barely able to eat.

Thank you very much for the monthly pass of "Bright Moon and Breeze" and the recommended tickets of the treasures.
