Every rebirth is the tyrant Bai Yueguang

Chapter 51 Selling Grain

Mu Xi was a little groggy, he felt that Jing Cheng helped him take off his clothes and covered him with a quilt, and he still had something to say to Jing Chen, but his eyelids just didn't listen.

He fell asleep, and before he fell asleep completely, for a while, he couldn't open his eyes but was still somewhat conscious.

He remembered that Jingcheng didn't continue the topic, he wanted to tell Jingcheng about it.

Almost every body of him is at this age, but Jing Sheng is constantly moving forward and growing.

Jing Cheng feels that he is forever young, but he is getting old. Maybe one day he will still be a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen, but Jing Cheng will already be an old man.

But Jingcheng didn't know his heart at all, he wanted to tell Jingcheng that he would rather grow old slowly with the one he loves, and only need one body and one life, rather than being like this now.

He felt Jing Cheng's uneasiness, but he never felt at ease.

The deteriorating body and these unsolvable problems suddenly became entangled in his mind while he was half asleep, making him feel as if he was being strangled by the throat, and he felt very uncomfortable.

The two of them managed to relax for a while, and since they came back from playing, Jing Cheng has become busy again.

Since he reminded him that day, Jingsheng immediately drew attention to the south on the second day, and it seemed that he had indeed found a problem.

One night, Jing Cheng told him that someone was maliciously hoarding food, but he didn't scare Mu Xi to death, so it couldn't be him.

Later, he asked Yuelu to pay special attention to this matter, only then did he realize that there were indeed people maliciously hoarding food, as if they knew there was going to be a famine.

"My lord, you are really amazing. I heard that His Majesty sent an imperial envoy to know that the harvest in the south was not good last year and the tax was not reduced according to the law. There was a famine at the beginning of this year. The local officials did not report it. In two months, the victims are estimated to be able to flee to the capital."

In the original text, the cause and effect of this disaster were not explained in detail, but such an incident was mentioned, reflecting the difficulty of Jingguo's victory and Jingcheng's political achievements in governing the world after he unified the world in the later period.

"Malicious hoarding of food is going to make a fortune."

Yue Lu has done business with Mu Xi for many years, so she naturally understands the relationship.

Yue Lu said: "Fortunately, we also stocked up a lot of food."

Mu Xi nodded. When the famine breaks out, his food will be sold at a reduced price. According to the quantity, it can basically last for a month, which is enough for Jingcheng to handle these things.

"Let's make arrangements now to transport the grain from all over the country to the south, let them wait for the order, and then open the warehouse to release the grain."

Yue Lu, "Okay, but my lord, how do we bid for this price? It stands to reason that the price will be more expensive than usual when the grain is sold."

Some people hoard food maliciously, and the famine will definitely become more serious. At that time, the first batch of people who will not be able to eat will be the ordinary people at the bottom.

And there will definitely be a rush to buy food. He has considered it before, and it will be enough to make a lot of money by selling it at the normal price, but now...

Mu Xi's heart ached, "My money." Huh huh.

"Just add a little bit so that the workers can get their wages." Mu Xi's heart was bleeding.

Yuelu's eyes widened, "Then we can't get anything." This effort to hoard so much is not to find trouble for himself, and if the labor costs in the early stage are included, we may have to lose money.

Strange, his young master would actually do business at a loss?

Regarding this, Mu Xi could only say: "Be a kind person."

Woo my money! ! !

One month later, as expected, the spring harvest was not good, and there was a large area of ​​food shortage in the south, and the famine spread rapidly in the south.

Fortunately, with Mu Xi's reminder, Jingguo was not in the war this time and had already prepared for it. Food and grass had already been mobilized from other places and had already arrived in the south. The famine was the first time to open warehouses to release food, and the situation was still under control.

But the panic caused by the lack of food is still spreading. No one knows how long the famine will last. They are afraid that there will be no more after eating this meal, especially the poor people are still starving.

Most importantly, it is still out of stock.

Lu Xin is one head and two big. Although his majesty made them prepare like a prophet, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and now there is no food.

There was almost one thing discussed in the courtroom today. How to solve the famine problem in the south. Some ministers raised the most realistic question. Those who hoarded grain did not sell it at this time, and the price of grain might double in half a month.

The reality is that a small number of rice shops no longer sell grain, most of them have raised their prices, and only a few are still maintaining their original prices. Among them, Mujia rice shop is the best.

Everyone in the Mu family admired the bravery of the old prime minister for daring to raise this taboo before His Majesty.I don't know what the former young master of the Mu family did to their Majesty. The second in command of the Mu family is still squatting in prison waiting for Qiu Hou to ask him to kill him.

The prime minister ignored these people and said in his heart, His Majesty is holding the new young master of the Mu family in his hands, so what is he afraid of when he mentions the Mu family.

This was obviously an intercession for the second treasurer of the Mu family. His Majesty did not express his position, and did not discuss anything in the morning, so he dispersed the court on the spot.

Back in Tai'a Hall, Jing Cheng suddenly asked: "You are in Mu's house, they asked you to come because they didn't take your life seriously."

Wait, what's wrong, why did you mention this.

Jing Cheng tapped on the table, Mu Xi looked at it, there might be some misunderstanding, the Mu family is in danger.

"It's not what you think." Mu Xi explained, "No, half of it is what you think."

Jing Cheng's face was as cold as frost.

Mu Xi immediately stopped him, saying, "I came here voluntarily."

He lowered his head, unconsciously scratched at his knees, and said in a low voice, "Besides, I used some tricks to get my grandmother to choose me."

Jing Cheng felt as if something was filled in his heart suddenly, and put one hand on top of Mu Xi's head, "So, even after you knew about those rumors, you still came back to find me."

Speaking of this, Mu Xi gave Jing Cheng a hard look, and then he was pulled into his arms.

Jing Cheng surrounded him, and a charming voice sounded in his ears, "Mu Xi, thank you for not giving up on me." Thank you for coming back.

At this moment, Jing Cheng is not the king of a country, he is just a brat who is afraid that his wife will give up on him at the first thought.

The side of his face became hot, and Jing Cheng kissed him. Mu Xi's whole face was hot from the earlobes, and his eyes flickered in perplexity.

The person in front of him didn't stop, he kissed his forehead, moved down, and stopped on his lips.

"Mu Xi." Jing Cheng shouted, leaning over and kissing his lips.

Mu Xi never felt that Jing Cheng was so gentle and careful, he had the feeling of being held in the palm of his hand and afraid of melting.

The heartbeat is pounding, pounding, faster and stronger.

When the two lips parted, Mu Xi's lips were already kissed red and moist, and Jing Cheng couldn't help but kissed again.

No one would have imagined that their Majesty and the most favored Young Master Mu would blush even if they only made progress to kiss their little mouths in the bedroom.

Mu Xi touched his lips, thinking that he was a good young man in the new world, why would a man be so shy when he falls in love.

After figuring it out, he was not reconciled, ahhh, he threw himself into Jing Cheng's arms, sat on the man's lap and gnawed on him, kissing him enough, like a flower picker flying out of the window.

Jing Cheng hugged the person for fear of throwing him, "It's so indecent, but you have to be responsible."

Mu Xi smiled, "How will the young master be responsible?"

Jing Cheng brought his lips to Mu Xi's mouth, and said, "Kiss a few more times, I'll come closer so you won't be tired."

With the beginning, the two learned from each other without a teacher, and closed the door every day to do some shameful things, sweetness matters.

The good times didn't last long, within half a month, the minister's advice came true, and Jing Cheng got busy again.However, what Mu Xi had to do when he first entered the palace was easily solved. The Mu family set an example for merchants during the famine and fully cooperated with the court. The second head of the Mu family was also found out and released to assist Mu The rice sales business whose home is in the south.

Mu Xi also opened the Shaoji Rice Store seven days ago, and each person can buy food in a limited amount every day.

But recently, for the first time, Mu Xi discovered that he was so unpopular.

Although these people have covered it up very well, he can still tell that these people have been avoiding him in recent days, as if they would lose their heads if they stayed a little longer.Even the eunuch who communicated with Yuelu on a daily basis no longer helped to deliver the message.

Mu Xi thought to himself, could it be that Jing Sheng finally killed him?

The gossip little prince Yuelu is about to die in Tai'a Hall, and there is no gossip to listen to in the past few days. Even His Majesty is here to eat, deal with political affairs, close his eyes and rest his mind, take a walk with Mu Xi, and sleep. Same thing, no story.

The small group of gossip scripts that he managed to gather in King Jing's Palace were just scattered, and the master and servant were protected from lightning by the whole palace like the plague.

Mu Xi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "There is a problem, it's not normal."

He didn't ask Jing Cheng, but it's so obvious that something is being hidden from him, maybe even a blind person can see it.

"Young master, we can only use our last trump card. The pigeons have not been released for a long time, and they are all fat."

Mu Xi shook his head, "No need."

"Then we..."

"Wait another two days, if... we will leave the palace." Mu Xi doesn't like to lose his temper, it's not that he loses his temper.

"Ah? Why are you leaving the palace?"

Mu Xi said lightly, "Leave."

The two did not shy away from talking at all, Zhang Dafu was standing outside the door with the hem of his clothes exposed, eavesdropping openly and aboveboard.

Three days ago, a rumor spread like wildfire in the south, spreading all over the country with lightning speed, making Mu Xi the target of criticism.

It is rumored that before the famine, some people hoarded food maliciously, especially buying a large amount of food from the south, and then sold it to make money when the food shortage broke out in the famine.

Rumor has it that the owner of the rice shop who stocked up a large amount of grain and still sells rice every day is called Mu Xi.

The imperial court opened warehouses to release grain to relieve the victims, but this person sold a large amount of grain and made huge profits.There are even limited purchases, and ordinary people can only buy a small amount every time they go, which is not enough for several meals, just to wait until the food in other places runs out, the price of food doubles, and makes a fortune.

Since ancient times, there has been no profiteering or businessman, and he is indeed a black-hearted businessman.
