240: The Grain Store Controversy 1

"Little lady, thank you for your husband..."

Meng Zhan's friend took a step away calmly, avoiding the courtesy of Meng Zhan's concubine's room.

Not to mention anything else, just based on the gossip he accidentally heard just now, he feels... the name of the Meng family is not as good as being famous when meeting.

The Meng family used a concubine as a concubine. This kind of behavior that violates human relations is simply unheard of.

He didn't want to get involved in this mess.

"Jun Meng's twists and turns, need to rest in peace, and don't get angry again, so as not to hurt the root."

The medical officer hadn't stepped out of the main street where the Meng Mansion was located, but was called back in a hurry. He wrote a new prescription and gave a few instructions.

The friend also took this opportunity to leave, and if he didn't leave again, he was worried that he would hear some explosive scandal again.

When Meng Ting died, everyone in the Meng Mansion mourned, wearing plain sackcloth, and the Meng family army was also ordered to mourn for Lord Erlang.

Meng Zhan's move naturally received a lot of resistance, and was severely reprimanded by several elders.

Who is Meng Bing?

A "son" who has not yet been crowned weak!

He is the son of the legitimate son to the outside world, but some old family members who had rumors at the time knew that Meng Ting's identity was different. There are still many candidates.

When a "sister-in-law" died, the entire Meng family army even mourned for him.

Who does he think he is?

The emperor of the Dongqing royal family passed away, and perhaps none of them could enjoy this kind of treatment.

More importantly, it is still a very critical moment. The civil unrest in Meng County, Cangzhou is intensifying, and mobs are everywhere.

Meng Jiajun still needs to clean up these colleagues, where is the time to guard the soul for a brat?

Speaking of which, the source of the civil unrest was still Meng Yi.

If it wasn't for the fact that this kid was too much of an asshole, causing people to resent, how could the Meng family face such an embarrassing situation?

It's just fine to die, anyway, the birth is not right.

If Meng Zhan hadn't loved him so much, asked the stars not to give the moon, and even neglected the upright eldest son of Xizong, the elders would not bother to pay attention to Meng Zhan... It's just a piece of mud that can't support the wall, wasting air alive, Dead waste of land.

Meng Zhan seemed to have become determined after eating the weight, but he refused to give in half a step.

The two sides fought each other, and as a result, there were several voices within the Meng Family Army. The news of the civil unrest they had painstakingly concealed seemed to spread to the people like wings.

"Meng Shi, it's really a crime!"

A plain carriage parked on the mountain road. The man in green in the carriage opened the curtain and saw the people chaotically scrambling outside, one by one in ragged clothes and yellow complexion, looking like a scene of troubled times. The man sighed in his heart and let go. The hand that raised the curtain.

From the looks of it, isn't he the man who was a guest at the Meng Mansion before?

At this time, the guard outside asked him in a low voice.

"Master, should we go back to Shangjing first, or..."

The guard's voice was somewhat concerned and nervous. When they came out, there were only eleven people including the man. If such a small group of people encountered a large wave of rioters, they would not dare to guarantee the safety of the man in the car. The longer you stay, the more dangerous you will be.

The man was silent for a while, then said quickly, "No, go to Langya!"

He had some doubts, and was eager to verify the young friend who had forgotten the year.

Without even thinking about it, the guard snorted and took the reins of the carriage and twitched it.

Soon, this seemingly ordinary carriage completely disappeared in the vast mountain road.

"Yuan Jing, what kind of students are you recruiting..."

Faintly, it seemed to hear the man complaining so much.

Different voices appeared within the Mengjia Army, and the suppression was lax, which made the already severe civil unrest intensify.

Hejian County, which is only half a month away from Meng County, was naturally affected first.

Jiang Pengji returned home from the street as usual,

The collected information left her with a cold expression. The audience in the live broadcast room could feel the low pressure around her through the screen, and even the barrage of funny jokes was greatly reduced.

"Food prices have skyrocketed to eight times the original level... just like this, the supply is still in short supply." Xu Ke jumped off the carriage in a hurry, walked quickly to Jiang Pengji's study, and knelt down in front of her, "Mr. , it's time for us to act."

After the price of grain really rises, it will be difficult for them to lower the price. At that time, they will face the joint boycott of the grain merchants in Hejian County. Behind these grain merchants are the gentry. One or two Lius are not afraid, and they will unite It's hard to say.

"Not in a hurry..." Jiang Pengji had no expression on her face, she seemed to be thinking about something, Xu Ke was so anxious that she was almost speechless, now is the time to pretend to be cold, "Let me ask you, have you noticed anything?" Refugees from neighboring counties?"

"There aren't any near Hejian County, but there are quite a few in Zisang County..."

Zisang County is near Hejian County, which is closer to Cangzhou Meng County than the latter.

There are refugees, if there are first there.

"I see." Jiang Pengji thumped her palms and said, "Order the grain store to send out the signboard advertisement, spread it as far as possible throughout Hejian County, and let every commoner know that the three grain stores will have large quantities of cheap rice Purchase news."

"Advertisement?" Xu Ke was taken aback, "What is that?"

"The publicity means to hire 30 to 50 children or hooligans who are familiar with the nearby roads, give them some money, and let them shout on the street..." Jiang Pengji explained, "In short, we must use the fastest speed. The people know."

Xu Ke's eyes flashed, if it wasn't for the wrong scene, he really wanted to praise his husband's idea.

Nowadays, there are too few literate people, even if a notice is posted at the gate of the city, not many people will know the news of the grain store, and the effect will be minimal.

If you let children or hooligans yell everywhere, it will indeed be faster and spread more widely than simply posting notices.

The key is that the labor cost is not high.

"Ke will do it now."

Xu Ke collected himself, bowed to Jiang Pengji, got up and stepped back.

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Pengji yelled quickly, stopping Xu Ke who was eager to leave, "Before doing this, let's find out which grain store has the lowest grain price. The price we set is always lower than the lowest price. 20%!"

Xu Ke made a confused face: "Isn't it... to set an ordinary food price?"

Jiang Pengji snorted, and said, "We only need to be kinder than the unscrupulous merchants, we are good people, understand?"

Xu Ke continued to be confused, this style of painting was different from what he had imagined.

"Don't worry, this price won't last." Jiang Pengji said calmly, "Our price is only 20% lower than other grain stores, no more, no less. If they want to compete, they will naturally lower their prices, and then we will follow suit. The two achievements are..."

She never thought that when other people's food was going to the sky, she would still maintain the original price, and she would be careful of being smashed into the shop for such a move of hatred.
