Chapter 40

Taking advantage of the high prices, Lin Yang had sold quite a bit of grain to the noble families!

Now, he wanted to see what these noble grain merchants were prepared to do!

As the news of the Magistrate's office releasing porridge spread, all the noble grain merchants in Jiangdu County became slightly panicked!

Zhang family residence

"Master Zhang, it's not good, the Magistrate's office is releasing porridge for only three hundred coins, the people are taking their families to drink porridge, and no one is coming to buy our grain anymore!"

The heads of the Wang and Zhu families were panicked at this moment!

They had hoarded a large amount of grain!

If no one comes to buy it!

This grain will all be stuck in their hands!

"What's the rush!" Master Zhang, sitting in the main seat, glanced at the two of them with disdain, "Don't forget, war is coming soon; even if this grain can't be sold in Jiangdu County, can't it be transported elsewhere?"

He didn't care at all about the porridge releasing!

These are troubled times!

In a chaotic world, grain is never hard to sell!

The Jiangdu County Magistrate's office doing this is just trying to make them panic and lower the grain prices!

"A little trick, and you're already panicking!"

Saying this with disdain, Master Zhang was not panicked at all!

The three great families hoarding grain and not selling it didn't need to worry!

It's impossible for them to lower the price!

Grain and cereals can be stored for quite a long time!

At noon, Jiangdu County Magistrate's office

"These people are truly able to sit still!"

Lin Yang and Cheng Yu sat together, and seeing that the noble grain shops hadn't lowered their prices, they were a bit surprised!

According to the novels he read in his past life!

Once he lowered the price here!

Shouldn't these noble families also lower their prices?

"My lord, noble families have had the habit of hoarding grain since ancient times, and besides, in these troubled times, grain is never hard to sell!"

Cheng Yu boiled tea unhurriedly!

Since ancient times, the reason the government could only stabilize grain prices but couldn't harm the noble families is exactly this!

They hoard grain, and at most, they temporarily lack extra money!

As long as they release grain slowly, they will still make a profit in the end!

Grain isn't like other things; it's not that easy to spoil!

"Hmm, yes!"

Lin Yang nodded, sighing in his heart!

What's written in novels is ultimately fantasy, but reality is extremely cruel!

Noble families have no reason to lower grain prices!

Fortunately, he didn't foolishly follow the methods in the novels before!

"My lord, no need to worry, although the noble families aren't in a hurry, someone else is about to be!"

Sipping his tea, Cheng Yu looked at Lin Yang's frowning expression and chuckled!

At the same time, at the city gate of Jiangdu County on the other side

"My lord, we are grain merchants from Xuzhou, we want to leave, why are you blocking us!"

Especially Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, with a group of servants, were pushing grain carts and wanted to leave, but were blocked!

Seeing the porridge releasing in Jiangdu County, they knew there was no profit to be made here!

"Everyone, sorry, Magistrate Lin has ordered that since the Huang Jin bandits are causing trouble outside, to ensure your safety, the city is sealed for three months!"

Li Gang, leading the soldiers guarding the gate, said with a smile!

Then he pointed to the notice posted two days ago, leaving Especially Mi Zhu and the others speechless!

Huang Jin bandits causing trouble?!

City sealed for three months?!

Bullshit!

Everything was fine when they came!

How long has it been!

How could there be Huang Jin bandits causing trouble!

"If you are not in a hurry, you might as well stay in Jiangdu County for a while longer!"

Li Gang glanced at the two, seeing their extraordinary demeanor, and offered a few words of comfort!

"After all, life is the most important thing!"

Hearing this blatant hint, Mi Fang was furious!

They are wealthy merchants from Xuzhou!

And they were actually detained in the city!

"Big brother, this matter cannot just end like this, we..."

"Shut up, go back!"

As Mi Fang was speaking, Especially Mi Zhu scolded him sternly and pulled him away!

The other party had posted the notice two days ago!

It was clear that everything had been calculated!

If anything, everyone was focused on the grain prices the past two days and didn't notice this!

Especially Mi Zhu walked on the streets of Jiangdu County, glancing at the grain carts, feeling exceptionally cold inside!

Ruthless!

This Jiangdu County Magistrate is truly too ruthless!

And Cheng Yu, who was being cursed by Especially Mi Zhu, was exceptionally calm at this moment!

The one being cursed is the Magistrate, what does it have to do with him, Cheng Yu!
