However, they didn't expect that Jiang Hengchu and Eshun's food was also in short supply, because the food consumed in the war was too much. Although it was not as miserable as Xiqi, when the news of Xiqi came, some people were helpless. Because since the ban on trade, grain merchants have been helpless.
As for the grain in the east and the south, one is consumed by the war, and the other is bought by a mysterious company at a low price, all of which belong to the big business. Now they have no surplus food, and the price of food has risen all of a sudden. .
And it's not just the price increase, but there is no stock at all, and they can't buy it even if they have money. Now the group of princes, big and small, are mostly anxious, but of course the people who suffer the most are the common people and slaves. Countless people died of starvation. , It can be said that starvation is everywhere, and there are countless fugitives.
Dashang's current policy is to only let in and not to let out. If they can escape to Dashang in the future, this group of people may still have land if they want to come. For this reason, Ji Fa sent all the troops out. kill.
However, this bloody method not only failed to solve the crisis, but made the situation worse. Those nobles or ordinary people complained, and they kept writing letters every day, asking for help, and finally appeased the nobles who had been attracted, and now they started to make trouble The voice of opposition made Ji Fa anxious.
At this time, the envoys of Jiang Hengchu and Eshun also brought back bad news. Since Eshun was defeated and retreated to the south, supplies were also in short supply. He wanted to ask Ji Fa for help, and Jiang Hengchu was the same. The words made Ji fly into a rage, and she didn't care about her appearance in public, slapping the table and cursing Jiang Hengchu and Eshun!
At this time, the Turkic king also came to ask for help, and the urgent letter floated over like snowflakes, which made Ji Fa almost faint from anger. At this time, Jiang Ziya made Ji Fa calm down.
However, Jiang Ziya brought a piece of news. His spies discovered that some time ago, when someone was harvesting Lanyoucao and Xiqi pottery, a firm of Dashang bought grain at a low price and hoarded a large amount of grain. If you are willing to sell, you can help them tide over the difficulties.
Hearing this, Ji Fa felt a lot more at ease. He had heard of that firm before. It was called Regal Firm, and it was considered the largest firm of Dashang. The shopkeeper of this firm in Xiqi was surnamed Keng. There are the most people, and there are also many cooperations between rich companies and officials. During the severe drought, they also cooperated with Ji Chang to transport food for disaster relief.
After Ji Fa became the Marquis of Xibo, he also supported the businessman surnamed Keng very much, and even offered him gifts. Businessmen in Xiqi like profits, and the practice of hoarding food by wealthy companies is nothing more than to get more money. Ji Fa also believed that as long as he personally ordered to buy grain from this branch, the shopkeeper would never refuse.
However, the shopkeeper of this pit is also very powerful. He has the foresight. When everyone is making Lanyoucao and Xiqi's pottery, he actually bought so much food. An official, maybe this guy will take the initiative to offer food!
As expected, when the shopkeeper Keng heard the summoning from the king, he rushed over immediately. Hearing that Ji Fa was about to distribute the officials, the shopkeeper Keng was very happy, and expressed his willingness to sell part of the grain and give it to the common people at the price of ordinary people to relieve their urgent needs. A large amount of grain was sent to Xiqi.
