Chapter 1802 It's All Gone Up
"Girl, Xiaomin really does business with his conscience." Since he knows, why bring him here, he has been dealing with ordinary people all his life, and this is the first time he has met a royal family. He also entered the palace. If the palace asked him to buy food, he would naturally be willing.
But when he was caught, he was afraid. Didn't he see that his legs were still soft?
Even now, he still can't stand up.
And this girl also made Shen Qingci behind the gauze to gently tug at her red lips.
She is so old, she should be called Mrs., or the old lady, is such a girl taking advantage of her? Why, with a beard, is she older than her age?
Shen Qingci leaned back slightly on his back, and on his lap was still sleepy Brand White.
"I just wanted to ask you a few questions."
She lightly touched the tip of her branded white ear, and her voice was like rain, with a hint of coolness.
"As long as you answer, I will let you go."
"Please speak."
How could the shopkeeper of Mipu dare to say a single word, let alone a few questions, even if he asked his ancestor for eight generations, he would know everything and say everything.
He definitely won't tell any lies, and he can also guarantee that every sentence he says is the truth, the truth.
"I heard that food prices have risen recently."
When Shen Qingci asked, he also pulled up his sleeve and painted on Laobai, who had already fallen asleep at this time.
"A price increase?"
The shopkeeper of Mipu couldn't help but was also shocked. Of course, he really felt a little wronged.
"Girl, to tell you the truth, it's not just our family's price increase, the grain shops in the whole capital have gone up, and the food price, which is used for people's livelihood, does not mean that it can rise, it has to go through the Chamber of Commerce. , how much the price rises, and how high the price is raised, it must be verified by the government before the price can be raised, not anyone who wants to increase it, it is a violation of the rules and a bad market."
Therefore, his price increase is also justified and approved by the Chamber of Commerce. Besides, he did not say anything wrong. The price increase in the capital is not only their family, but all the shops have increased, especially Sell food.
"Why go up?"
Shen Qingci asked again.
"Why?" The shopkeeper spoke smoothly now.
"Girl, haven't you seen the rain outside?" He pointed to the outside, the rain never fell in the early morning or late in the evening. It rained at this time, and it lasted for several days. It is also impossible to stop.
At this time, it was the harvest season. After such a rain, most of the wheat was still unharvested, especially in the Jiangning area, where the wheat itself grew slowly, so most of the grain was not harvested. Seeing that this is all food to be cooked, it was damaged by the rain.
Even if you reluctantly collect them, they will all grow buds, which are also inedible. It can be said that in Jiangning's generation, all the grains are not harvested.
Now they are starting to rise. If it is in other places, such as the Jiangning generation, the price of food will rise more and more severely. It is possible that when the people have no food to eat, the food shop will also be closed. .
Whether this can make money is small, but life must be put first.
So this grain price is not what he is willing to increase, just because there will be a shortage of grain this year.
"Send him back," Shen Qingci instructed Bai Mei, who was on the side. She knew what she wanted to hear. It seemed that it was more serious than she thought. As for how serious it was, she might have to leave it to her fate.
Look at this rain, look at the lives of the people in Dazhou.
Bai Mei nodded and walked out from behind the gauze curtain.
When the shopkeeper saw that she was a decent woman, she hurriedly replaced her head, her legs were still soft.
"Send him."
Bai Mei said to the two guards.
And when the shopkeeper heard such a sentence, his head also buzzed, and then he didn't know anything.
Send him.
send him.
send him.
deliver……
he?
Send him what?
Hit the road.
die.
The shopkeeper's cold sweat is also pouring out now, and now he almost rolled his eyes, and he was sent on the road without knowing anything.
And he left the ground with both feet and was carried away by two guards.
There was only one word in his mind.
My life is over.
And that heavy door is closed, and no one knows what it is like. Shuowang's mansion is difficult to get close to, but it is also difficult to get out.
The two guards, from the carriage, carried the shopkeeper to the door of the grain shop, and then one of them took out a money bag from his body and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's arms.
"This is given to you by my master, and it is also what happened to you today. What you said, forget everything, do you understand?"
The shopkeeper nodded numbly.
How could he dare to say no now, did he not want his head, or did he not want his life?
But after the guard left, his legs fell to the ground again, and the money bag given by the guard just fell to the ground, and then rolled out small silver beads one by one.
The shopkeeper picked up a small silver bead and touched his head.
Fortunately, this head is there, and fortunately, he is also alive.
The ancestors bless, really is the ancestors bless.
That is, he couldn't help but slapped himself. He took the Prince Shuo's mansion as a place. That Princess Shuo, Prince Shuo, is a well-known figure in the world, and he also saved the lives of countless people. The little prince has also cured the plague. They are all good people, how could they be so careless.
Especially a businessman like him who has never done bad things, probably when someone from the palace came to buy rice, he found out that the price had risen, so he made a special trip to ask him about the price increase.
Look, this question has been asked, and he has returned safely.
That is, why didn't he take a good look at the palace in the first place, so that his friends can brag about it, what does this palace look like?
No, he quickly covered his mouth.
He heard from the guard just now that he was not allowed to say anything, and he would be beheaded if he said it.
Therefore, this matter, he must rot into the stomach.
He put the silver beads on the ground into the bag one by one, and suddenly a cold wind blew, which also caused him to fight a cold war inexplicably.
He remembered again that the words he had just said in Shuo Wang's mansion were all about taking a deep breath for him.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as the servant inside came out, he found that the shopkeeper of his house was sitting outside, and his clothes were about to get wet from the rain.
"Help me in first."
It's not that the shopkeeper's legs are weak now, he can't even get up, let alone stand up and walk away.
