Chapter 48: Work-for-Relief, the True Path to Disaster Relief!

Hum!

Following these words from Wu Zhao, the entire Jin Luandian fell into a state of immense shock.

This light, airy voice rang out clearly in the ears of everyone present.

"What?"

"The grain price in Linjiang City has fallen to seventy wen per dou?"

After the brief shock, the murmurs of the officials nearly overturned the entire Jin Luandian.

Cui Xinghe was also stunned, then categorically denied it.

"The grain price in Linjiang City has fallen to seventy wen per dou? How is that possible!"

By this reckoning, the grain price in Linjiang City would be even lower than that of Qingshui County.

But this was absolutely impossible!

He had calculated it; the disaster in Linjiang City was more severe and the grain merchants were more united. Unless violent means were employed, ninety wen per dou was the lowest reasonable price range.

Let alone seventy wen per dou!

Gao Feng also suddenly widened his eyes, nearly doubting his own ears.

"Seventy wen per dou? Wasn't the news from two days ago that it had broken through two hundred wen per dou?"

Even Gao Tianlong's eyes shifted in slight shock.

Seeing the reaction of the officials, especially the speechlessness of the Censorate's remonstrating officials, Wu Zhao felt a secret thrill in her heart.
