New Story of Lv Bu

: : Food prices have settled

The early morning of May 15th came very quickly. After a restful sleep, eighty to ninety thousand Chang'an people walked out of their homes and came to the East City to gather. Today is the day they formally report for registration. Along the way, they took a closer look at the price of food. Half of the food shops had their doors closed, with Jing Zhaoyin's seal on the door. The seal was dripping with ink, which was just pasted.

In the grain shop that was still open, the faces of the guys were filled with smiles that looked very sincere, and they were all enthusiastic and unbearable. Take a closer look at the price of food again, it's a dull boom! There are five thousand stone rice for corn, three thousand five hundred stone rice for miscellaneous grains, and only two thousand stone rice for beans! Overnight, the price of food dropped more than ten times! Could it be that something serious happened?

When they arrived in the East City, the people saw a few Bianzhou soldiers sticking to the Lubu fence. After finishing the Lubu, the fat official came out to explain again yesterday. "Fathers and villagers of Chang'an City! Presumably you have all seen that the price of food has fallen more than ten times! Why is this? This is because some people are hoarding food, just buying or not selling, just waiting for the price of food to rise!"

Upon hearing this, the people immediately understood. "What I said, the price of food in this city of Chang'an has risen to 10,000 yuan! Although it has been years of famine, coupled with military disasters, the land has been abandoned and no one can cultivate, but it can't be so evil!" "That's it! Do you understand now? Some people are hoarding food and watching the people starve to death! So you can profit from it!"

Grain is the lifeblood of ordinary people. Without food, people will die of starvation. Therefore, the dynasty attaches great importance to the high and low of food prices and has specially set up institutions and silos to stabilize food prices. Since Dong Zhuo's administration, all laws have been broken, and the stabilization agency has only been in vain. As for the food in the righteous warehouse, it has been looted by the Xiliang army and used as military rations. The eight major grain merchants took a fancy to this extremely rare opportunity, and they acted recklessly, hoarded, and drove the price of grain to a high level of tens of thousands of dollars.

The big fat official-the new servant Wang Han-stretched out his hands and pressed down to signal the people to be quiet, before he continued: "Family folks! The granary in the west of the city was on fire the night before. It was this group of people who set fire. Yesterday afternoon, Grand Sima ordered them to be arrested! They are being interrogated in the Tingwei’s mansion, and the canonical punishment will be coming soon! In order to emulate them!"

"Good job!" "This gang of tortoise **** should have been arrested long ago!" "Pity my two little grandsons who died of starvation! Uuuuuu??????" There was an instant sound in the crowd. The applause was mixed with a lot of whimpers. When the people were overjoyed, they couldn't help but think of their relatives and friends who were starving to death, and they cried in an instant.

"Yesterday, the grain transport fleet delivered 300,000 shi. In addition to the distribution to your hands, there are 200,000 shi to store grain! And, starting tomorrow, there will be a continuous flow of grain from Jinyang City in Bingzhou. Chang'an and Luoyang are always five million shi! Da Sima said, he is going to take out five million shi to support Binzhou and Sili!" Wang Han waved his arm and shouted loudly. "Long live Da Sima!" "Long live the Bingzhou Army!" Cheers broke out in the crowd immediately.

"Fathers and villagers in the city of Chang'an! Don’t buy food for the next few days. In my opinion, the price of food will still fall. It is unlikely that it will fall to four or five hundred yuan. However, it will drop to seven. Eight hundred yuan or even six to seven hundred yuan is still very possible! That said, the price of food is so low? If we send us the food, will we lose? That's right! It's a loss! Don't worry! Don't worry! Worry! You can think of it, how can Da Sima not think of it? His old man already has a countermeasure!"

Hahaha, there was a burst of laughter in the crowd. The people have a good impression of this fat official. This servant is too humorous! They are all in the vernacular, but they are sensible and reasonable, and each and every one of them speaks to everyone's heart. "From the next ten days, your wages will be changed to five baht, ranging from thirty to fifteen cents a day! Now you can rest assured!"

"Long live Da Sima!" "Long live the Bingzhou Army!" Cheers burst out from the crowd. The ordinary people have a scale in their hearts, and they are careful about their accounts. A family of six, two elderly people, two children, two couples, can free up three people to do the work, two strong labor, one light labor, not to mention every day, can earn at least 50 or 60 For the five baht in the state, it is 1,500 dollars this month. For them, this is a huge sum of money!

If you are frugal, you can save four thousand dollars after three months of work, which is worth the income of last year! When the work is done, use the capital to start a small business such as a tofu shop or a biscuits shop. If done well, at least the family's livelihood will be fine. At least, Da Sima's words are credible, and the big guy will survive.

This is the small abacus of the ordinary people. As long as they see hope, see the light, and have confidence in the government, they will be like tireless farming cattle, able to work from morning to night. There will be food, and everything will be there. As long as the government has the words to say, with the hands of the family, you will be able to make your little life prosperous and prosperous!

When the cheers of the crowd gradually subsided, Wang Han opened his voice again and shouted: "Family folks! You can get enough food if you have a family, a career, and children and grandchildren, and you will make money! The one said What about the old people who have no children, or who have no children around, who can’t take care of themselves? This, Da Sima has also thought of this, everyone listen to me slowly!"

"The female soldiers of the Linghao Camp will go door-to-door to register under the leadership of Lizheng, and they will be able to provide monthly supplementary grains and rice. If they do not have any or their actions will remain unchanged, they will receive resettlement in the nursing home. If anyone is unwilling to leave the workshop , They can be placed in close families in the workshop, as usual, they are subsidized with grains and rice! At the same time, they will come to check their condition and treat them for free."

"Okay! I'm done! All of what I said will be exposed, and will be posted in every shop. The big guys pay attention to it!" After the words were finished, Wang Han slowly walked off the platform and picked it up. The coarse porcelain teapot filled his stomach with herbal tea, and then he stroked his abdomen with both hands and said, "I have been talking about this for a while, and my voice has dried up! Fortunately, I understand it!"

At this moment, a tiger and benevolent army arrived, and when he saw Wang Han, he handed over and said: "Wang Taipu! Da Sima has orders, San Gong and Jiuqing will immediately go to Da Sima Mansion to discuss matters! Please come with me!" Wang Han hurriedly exchanged it. The soldiers, put on the official uniforms of the servants, flew on their horses, and left with a dozen soldiers. At this moment, the people came to understand, I said this fat official is so competent? It turned out to be the servant of one of the Jiuqing! The point is that there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals!

When Wang Han Fei arrived at the Da Sima Mansion, the three gongs and nine princes hadn't arrived yet, and the soldiers took him directly to the place where Lu Bu met the guests. "Too servant Wang Han visits Da Sima!" Wang Han complied with the rules and signed up outside the bamboo curtain to see it. "Come in!" Lu Bu's voice was a little surprised, full of surprises.

"No!" Wang Han promised and opened the bamboo curtain and entered the house. When I saw Lu Bu sitting behind a huge case table, he was reviewing documents with a writing brush in his hand. "Sit down for a while, and then I'll talk to you after I finish reviewing this official document. Everyone is an old colleague. You must have known each other for more than ten years, so you don't have to be restrained." Lu Bu looked up at him, and then buried his head. A few on the case.

"No!" Wang Han promised as usual. Huanhai has been in the business for many years, and he knows that the closeness of big people can't be taken seriously. These words are spoken from the mouths of big people, and it seems that big people are reluctant to the old feelings, but once the people who are regarded as old feelings take it seriously, they will violate the general rules of officialdom and will give the big people the impression that they don't understand the etiquette.

Finally, Lu Bu finished the paperwork, he got up and walked over to Wang Han to sit down, picked up the coarse porcelain teapot and filled him with a large bowl of herbal tea. "How many days have you stayed in Jinyang?" "Ten full days." "This time it was because of the emergency of the military situation and the urgency of a spark, so I only gave you a ten-day vacation. When Liangzhou is settled, I will put it for you. One month's leave." "I have been in Bian County for many years, and I know that the current military situation is like a spark, and the ten-day leave has already reached the limit!" Cao Yong said quickly.

"Well, did Wang Shu tell you in detail about your new task?" After the greeting was over, Lu Bu turned to the topic. "As I said, it is the three items of food, horse politics and Tongxi." "You understand it! You have a long history of border county, and you are very solid and effective in doing things. What is even more rare is that you can interact with the ordinary people. It’s good to blend in, for example, what I said in the East Market just now!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Han's heart trembled. What he had just said in Dongshi, was immediately reported to Da Sima's ears? It seems that you must be careful in doing things in the future. Lu Bu glanced at him and said, "I remind you that the Western Regions are very important, not only because it is a must pass through the Silk Road, but also because there can be a lot of information from Western countries. After a few years, he waited for domestic On the day of peace, maybe we will use troops to the West. Let’s plan ahead!"

Da Sima is so courageous! Today's big Han princes are divided and riddled with holes. He actually thought of the future use of soldiers against the West. What a vision and courage this is! Wang Han's eyes were a little moist. He purged his clothes, and said in a loud voice, "The trust of Da Sima, Wang Han is unforgettable! You should work hard and do a good job now! I think Da Sima is a pioneer!"

"You do things, I can rest assured, remember my words, even if you break a strong man, you will be punishable! There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and you need a very clever skill to control them. I plan to appoint Shuiheng Captain Kang Manti as the capital of the Western Regions. Guard, wait for me to control the countries of the Western Regions. Your task is to ensure his food and supplies. He will have a long talk with you before he leaves."

"Let's go, let's go to see the three gongs and nine qings now."
