My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

"So you want to force the people in the city to death?"

The shopkeeper's expression was very exaggerated, "I can't do it, I can't do it. As a shopkeeper, I can't bear this responsibility. Please don't scare me, sir."

Ning Husheng said it several times, but the other party insisted not to lower the price. The people could still afford it for the time being, but they couldn't buy it more than once.

But even though they were government servants, they couldn't act haphazardly. They couldn't help each other. Now the people were counting on them. Ning Husheng stood there and thought for a while.

"If you want to buy food here, you can buy it. If you don't want to, you can go to other food stores, but you have to go back first. We will notify everyone to go there in the evening."

There are a number of people who go to which grain selling area. If these people are taken there rashly, it may affect the progress of other people buying grain, and thus affect the security of the city.

"Who can afford such expensive grain? Forget it, let's wait and go out at night to buy cheaper food. If you buy one bushel here, you can buy four bushels elsewhere."

"That's right, most of the shops in the city are closed now. We can't even find a place to work. Without income, who would dare to spend money lavishly."

Then everyone dispersed sparsely, cursing the storekeeper along the way.

"Uncle Husheng, I need to tell my father about this as soon as possible." Ning Qingxi looked serious. Today's matter should be just the beginning. There are many big merchants who open grain shops in their city.

Ning Husheng's expression was a bit ugly, "I know, Xixi, aunt, then you go back first, I will report to Brother Changrong right away."

Ning Qingxi shook his head, "I'll go with you. I also have something to tell my father."

How dare a small grain shop owner be so arrogant?There must be someone behind the scenes, Ning Qingxi didn't want the county to be in such chaos.

Wang Xiujuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, then Xixi, you go with Hu Sheng, and I'll go outside the city to have a look."

I originally thought that my granddaughter was unfounded, but after seeing this scene, Wang Xiujuan also figured out that she should be more careful outside the city.

The three of them acted separately, and Ning Qingxi and Ning Husheng walked into the county government office in a hurry.

"Brother Changrong!"

"father!"

Hearing the urgent voices of the two people, Ning Changrong raised his eyes, "What's wrong? Why are you here, Xixi? Is there something going on at home?"

Ning Qingxi shook his head, "I'm doing well at home."

Ning Husheng explained, "Brother Changrong has something going on outside."

Ning Husheng briefly explained today's increase in food prices.

After hearing this, Ning Changrong nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Hu Sheng, you handled this matter very well today. You can go back first. I already know about this matter. I have to work hard tonight, brothers, and work overtime to help those people buy it." food."

Ning Husheng shook his head, what kind of hard work is this for him, "It's okay, Brother Changrong, everyone knows that if you hadn't managed it well, how could there not be a single case of plague in our city now? It's okay if you work hard, everyone, old and young, Living in this city means working hard for your family."

Ning Changrong smiled and encouraged him a few words, and Ning Husheng withdrew.

"Dad," Ning Qingxi looked serious, "this matter is not simple."

Ning Changrong chuckled, "Do you think your father and I are stupid? I have thought of this for a long time. I was already making plans when you reminded me a few days ago."

Ning Qingxi was surprised, "Dad, you mean you have already thought of a solution?" Ning Changrong shook his head, blew on the tea at his mouth, drank it and said, "They don't want to sell food, it's nothing more than You just think that food can choke our necks. Don’t you know it if others don’t know it? Your Uncle Han Ting and Uncle Hong Lin brought back a lot of food."

He squinted his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, no matter how much money they make now, they can't take away a cent anyway."

Seeing Ning Changrong's confident look, Ning Qingxi knew that he was worrying too much, "That's good! Dad, you just have to be aware of it. I'm worried that they want to eat human blood steamed buns, and the people in the city have no money to buy food." There will definitely be unrest."

Ning Qingxi shook his head and sighed, "Hey...even if we are on opposite sides, it would be too despicable to attack these common people."

Ning Changrong sneered, "These people don't have a common people in their hearts. In their minds, only they are the common people, and everyone else is just a pig or a dog."

"Okay, daughter, you don't have to think so much, dad is here." Ning Changrong stood up and touched Ning Qingxi's head.

"Well." Ning Qingxi said with concern, "Dad, you have worked hard. You should also take good care of your health. You must eat at noon."

Ning Changrong now eats lunch at the county government office. Everyone is as busy as a spinning top, and it is hard to even get a hot meal.

"Don't worry, dad knows it well." Ning Changrong touched his nose, his eyes a little wandering.

Ning Qingxi knew that the other party was lying as soon as he saw these little actions, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Dad!"

Ning Changrong hurriedly coaxed, "Okay, okay, dad promises, I will eat well."

Ning Qingxi then gave up, "Then I'm leaving. I won't disturb you anymore. Dad, you can just be busy."

At the gate of the county government office, Ning Changrong called Ning Daniu, "Help me send Xixi home. Send her back and you come back. I'm in the county government office and I don't need your protection."

Ning Daniu said, "Okay, wrap it up on me."

……

The backyard of the grain store.

"Boss, according to your instructions, the price has been increased from [-] yuan per dou of rice to [-] yuan per dou of rice, but no one came to buy it. Only a few people who were not short of money were willing to buy, and the others were arranged to go to other grain stores to buy grain at night. ”

The owner said slowly, "Their food won't last long. The food in this city mainly depends on us. Our people are blocking the trade routes outside. They won't be able to get new food. Then they will have to beg us."

The proprietor of the grain shop flattered him, "My dear boss, I think they are in such a big loss after letting them take advantage of it for more than half a month. Isn't it normal for food prices to rise in this world? If you don't have money, don't live. It's really unlucky!"

The owner said, "The price will continue to increase tomorrow. I want to make it clear to them that if you don't buy it today, it will only become more expensive tomorrow."

The owner of the grain shop said, "Okay, boss, I will raise it to 85 yuan per dou of rice tomorrow."

The owner smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, remember to bid privately to buy back the grain from the people. There will always be people who are willing to sell it if they see the money."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "The boss is still thinking too far! Yes, as long as we add a few cents, they will definitely be willing to sell all the grain to us. If not, I will add a little more. Anyway, the money will definitely be available by then. Back in our pockets."

The boss smiled with satisfaction and said, "Be smart, remember to be hidden when looking for someone to do it, and don't rob it by force, otherwise it will cause trouble for those government officials who are like dog-skin plasters."

"Don't worry, boss, the person I'm looking for is absolutely reliable."
