Chapter 14 Rumors everywhere

Chapter 14 Rumors arise

But Yan Zhen forgot that she was richer than Qi Minglian. The dragon pattern abacus alone was not enough for Qi Minglian and all the family in Qi's family and Qi's father's official position.

Yan Zhen didn't know that it was because Qi Minglian was so considerate that the women around him tried their best to squeeze into the top, commonly known as: competing for favor.

This Kyoto Qifu is an authentic chicken flying and dog jumping, and the dark waves are turbulent. It is no less than the competition in the palace. If the competition for favors in the palace has brought some forces of the family's official career, the competition for the favor of Qifu is like a wonderful play. After the other side sings, we will appear.

Yan Zhen slowly paced back to the Zhang family. He was still hanging with Qi Minglian. When he entered the door, he found that Uncle Zhang and Brother Zhang had come back. Uncle Zhang, Brother Zhang, Sister Zhang, I'm back." Yan Qian stepped into the door and shouted.

"Cen, how are you listening to the price increase?" Mrs. Zhang set up the bowls and chopsticks and kept asking.

"It's a legend. There is no such thing as a legend." Yan Cun walked over to see the dishes on the table.

Mrs. Zhang patted Yan Chan's little buttocks and said with a smile, "Go, wash your hands, wash your hands and come to eat."

"Good! Let's go." Then he ran to wash his hands. Before washing his hands, he deliberately touched the baby girl, but they looked disgusted.

That's right. During the day, they just rolled their own in the water. At this time, Yan Xin's little dirty hands rubbed up, and the black oily claws were covered with white hair. This is good. The white hair that has just been washed is dirty again. Don't you dislike it? Of course, Yan Tian doesn't know the idea of the two snow tigers. Even if he has been with him since he was a child, naturally there are times when he doesn't know.

After a meal**, Yan Cheng smiled and said, "Good boy, I'm going to wash my hands and eat. I'll go back to the house in the evening and play with you." After saying that, a gust of wind flashed. Leaving two snow tigers, big eyes to small eyes, humming each other, as if to say, why did such an inauthentic owner spread himself as a big plush toy, and there was a bitterness in his heart.

A few days after that, the news that the price was going to rise became more and more fierce and fierce. However, the government did not post official documents, so no one knew whether it was true or false, and then naturally it was not true, so it slowly began to fade. It seemed that this was just a rumor. After all, there was no accurate number of gossips.

Just like some people's premonition, it only stopped for a few days, but overnight, it was subverted in an instant. Everyone turned upside down, and everyone was caught off guard. Finally, on the tenth day of the legend, everyone was stunned. The day before, the price at night was the same as before, and after waking up, the price doubled a little more.

The first place where the price was found to rise was an oil store. In Shuzhou City, it was still one of the largest stores. When everyone saw this price, they all stopped, which was three times higher than the usual price, followed by different price increases in various stores. Like the oil store, it is twice or three times higher, but if you take a closer look, you will find that they are one of the largest merchants in Shuzhou. Suddenly, everyone suddenly has doubts.

Large merchants are going crazy. Small merchants are also bound to raise prices due to supply reasons. It's just the length of the buffer time in the middle. Everyone suddenly became nervous, thinking about whether they need to hoard some rice and grain, etc. They are afraid that the merchants will sit on the ground and take advantage of the fire to rob, and then they will rush to buy it out, and then everyone will be hungry empty-handed. Belly.

"Why doesn't the government have an official document? It rises in an instant when it rises?" Brother Zhang came back from the rice shop and said that their rice shop was not small. Some of the rice shops around him rose and some did not rise. The boss said that he would take a half-day off and wait and see the form, so Brother Zhang came back early.

I have to say that his boss is wise. Now only large merchants have raised prices collectively. It is bound that the people will go to small merchants to hoard grain. If the rice grain in other provinces does not arrive, the rice grain in the city will be hoarded one after another. What should be eaten will soon be a mess. At that time, it may cause some panic. In this way, Stealing and looting are indispensable. If the government doesn't open a granary, it is bound to panic. If it is closed now, take the opportunity to wait and see, it can stabilize the price, and if it does not rise, it can maintain the reputation of the customer source. This is the best of both ways.

"It feels a little chaotic to do this. If the merchant starts on the ground and then deliberately hoards the goods, the city will cause chaos." Mrs. Zhang took over the bamboo hat handed over by Brother Zhang and said.

It's raining heavily outside today, and Yan Zhen didn't go out. She played in the big room with the baby girl in her arms. Listening to Brother Zhang and his wife talking about the information that the merchant's price increase this morning, it was a surprise.

"When I came back with my baby girl that day, when I heard such a news, it was said to be a legend. No one knew exactly what was going on. After listening to me for a long time that day, I thought it was a rumor!" Yan Cun raised his head and said with a confused expression.

Mrs. Zhang returned to her original seat and continued to peel the corn kernels and said, "This is probably those profiteers who have planned it for a long time. They want to catch everyone off guard."

"I also think so. In the past, the limelight was too high and everyone was on guard, but now, everyone thought it was a rumor and relaxed. Unexpectedly, I was caught off guard." Brother Zhang agreed with Mrs. Zhang's words and nodded and said, "If this continues like this, no one can guarantee that there will be no fork. Daughter-in-law, is there enough food in our family?

"Well, it's enough. The family gave it to us before. It happened that the last time my father went to the farm, he pulled it back. Then, we hoarded a lot ourselves before. Besides, there are still a lot of gold and naked seeds given by the heart before. There is definitely more than an emergency." Mrs. Zhang kept saying on her hand. This house is actually Mrs. Zhang's family, but it is also the same farm as the Zhang family. Earlier, Mrs. Zhang married the Zhang family, and the Zhang family helped her mother's family. They bought a few more mu of land and planted different things. When the harvest comes, it will naturally be given to the Zhang family. In addition, chicken, duck and pork are also brought back by Uncle Zhang, who goes to the farm to dump goods from time to time.

Yan Cheng has been in this for almost two or three months. He has been following the beautiful man for so long and has heard some news that there is a family surnamed Yan in the capital. There is a protector in the house, a general, and a rich businessman. He is a court minister and a chaebol family. No matter how you look at it, it's a well-known family. I don't know if I'm from that family.

Naturally, all kinds of guesses are guesses, that is, they rely on their own jade abacus and Yan Zipei to think so. These are all unique. Yan Cence hesitated to tell the Zhang family, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she didn't say anything. Now that she encountered this matter, Yan Cun thought about it and told the Zhang family.

"Well, I heard that there is a big family in the capital, surnamed Yan. I don't know if it's my home." Yan Cen paused and then said, "I want to go to Kyoto to see, isn't it, my home?"

"Well, there is news at home. This is a good thing. Whether it's not or not, go and have a look. If so, that's the best." Mrs. Zhang nodded and answered.

Uncle Zhang poured the tobacco on the pipe, picked it up, and then took a sip and said, "Well, it's good to have family news, but Kyoto is so far away. You are alone with two tigers. How can you go on the road? Walking, I don't know how to get there until the year of the monkey!"

The uncle's question reminded Yan Cheng. How to get there is a problem. It can't be the same as before. Before this is not halfway, he will starve to death on the road. As a result, Yan Chan's hope seemed to have failed again.

"Why don't you do this? When the price increase of this merchant is stable recently, I will inquire if there is a caravan or troupe going to Yuncheng, so that you can follow them, so that there is also a response." Brother Zhang said as he thought.

"I think it's convenient. When you get to Yuncheng, and then go through Yangzhou and Liangdu, you will go to Kyoto." Uncle Zhang outlined the route back to Kyoto. "If you are lucky enough to get on a big boat, you can go directly from here to Yangzhou, and it will be much more convenient after that."

Yan Chan nodded and said that it was clear that this time, this matter was put on hold. This is not urgent. We have to make a long-term plan. It's a long way to go. Since you are thoughtful, you don't have to worry too much.

On the second day, Yan Cheng went out as usual and heard the complaints from the neighbors, saying that several big merchants said that the front war was tight, and the food and grass were on the front line, and the price in the natural city was raised. In fact, this is a business's pretext. Everyone knows that last year's war was won, the barbarians retreated, and there is no tendency to invade at present. The army It is also just right to regulate health. It can be said that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. There is no need to transport a large amount of grass and grain.

Thinking about this, many people became angry and asked the merchant to give an explanation. The main reason is that the news brought back by the people who went out and came back from their nephews is that the price in other provinces is still the same as before, but they are in Shuzhou, and the price is on the same price.

Merchants want to force people to die. These unscrupulous black-hearted merchants are desperately raising prices, and workers' wages are constantly deducted. How can others make a living? Thinking about it, it is impossible for ordinary people to fight against those profiteers.

Yan Cheng, while caring about the development of this matter, asked if there was any boat to go to Yangzhou, or the caravan, and the troupe went to Yuncheng. I thought that the price in Caoyun was rising now, and no one took the waterway. Unexpectedly, Yan Cheng heard that someone was going to take the waterway. He inquired carefully. Hey, it turned out to be Qi Minglian who wanted to go back to Kyoto, so He wants to charter a boat to walk the waterway, and he also has to take a troupe on the road with him. This is really a road before the car arrives at the mountain. It's a help in the snow.

"Haha, beautiful man, beautiful man, did God send you to help me, haha!" The more Yan Chan thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't help laughing on the street. Passers-by stopped and turned their heads to look at her one after another, thinking that they had met a madman in broad daylight.

Now you can hear some complaints when you go out. Everyone is mourning, "These merchants are too dark. It's terrible that the price increase is so terrible. We must rise up and stop their unscrupulous behavior!"

"Are you going to sue them officially?"
