After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space

Xining Military Camp

"Your Majesty, the food in the military camp and in your private treasury has been exhausted, and the water source has not been found." Duan Boyuan's voice was hoarse.

King Beilin sat on a chair and tapped the table with one hand, deep in thought.

"How are the people doing?"

"The magistrate is giving porridge. Many people from Jincheng County and Luling County have come to Xining. I don't think the government office can last long, and I don't know how long it will take for the court's food to come out."

"The grain store isn't open yet. Let's go and take some people to buy grain." King Beilin stood up.

"Your Majesty, the price of food is high, we may not be able to buy much!"

"Our soldiers and generals will protect them in Xining. It's time for those grain merchants to do something." King Beilin strode out of the camp. An idea flashed in Duan Boyuan's mind, and he understood instantly.

"Your Majesty, wait for me."

King Beilin rode a horse and led a group of soldiers to Liangpu Street and said: "Knock the door open for me. Xining is in great trouble. These profiteers are keeping their doors closed and trying to make money for the country by asking for high prices. Everyone go in and move. Let's move in." Buy it for them at the usual price. If anyone stops it, it will be treated as treason, and you will be slapped with twenty bucks and then put in jail."

"Yes!" the soldiers shouted excitedly.

The soldiers forcibly opened the door and carried out bags of food. Duan Boyuan took notes with a pen.

Some shopkeepers were inside, fearing that they would be accused of treason, so they could only watch the soldiers moving food in a hurry and did not dare to stop them.

King Beilin raided the grain shops along the street. One of the grain shops was owned by an iron rooster named Ge. Shopkeeper Ge ran out of the backyard and shouted: "Your Majesty, please be merciful, this is all I have." Shopkeeper Ge picked up the soldiers and carried them. Do not put away the food.

"Your Majesty, this is the famous Iron Rooster on Liang Street. I heard that he stipulates when to eat meat at home and how much he eats."

King Beilin twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I will not take your food for free. I will buy it from you for one stone and fifty cents."

"My lord, this is impossible. There is no harvest due to drought. How can rice be sold at such a price?"

"Oh, how much will you sell to the soldiers?"

"It costs one stone and two hundred coins at least."

"Are you sure?" King Beilin narrowed his sharp red phoenix eyes.

"No, at least three...three hundred coins."

"Bold, 200,000 troops protect Xining's safety. You don't care about their hard work. You still ask for a price when the army is in danger. I see that you have no intention of praying for the country."

"My lord, the ordinary people don't dare, but the ordinary people are willing to sell it to you for one stone and two hundred cents." Shopkeeper Ge knelt down and said after being entangled.

"The king collects grain based on fifty coins and one stone. Is it possible that your grain is more valuable?"

"Common people don't dare, but fifty coins is too much..."

"Come here, this person has blocked me from buying food many times. It shows that he has no country in his heart. He immediately slaps me twenty times and puts him in jail for thorough investigation." King Beilin didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. he began.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, the common people have no intention of doing so." Two soldiers came over and dragged the man away to beat him up.

Most of the onlookers were the owners of Liang Street. Seeing Shopkeeper Ge being beaten, they also felt some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"By decree of this king, if such bad habits occur in Jincheng County and Luling County, they will be punished as treason."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

When the news spread to Jincheng and Luling counties, grain merchants suddenly did not dare to get rich and opened their doors to sell to the people at the original price.

After two days of busy work, Mu Chaochao’s new store opened. The store’s name is Chaoxi Yunong. County Magistrate Li helped promote the opening of the new store. Many people came out to buy food. The queues stretched four rows and filled the street. The Yamen sent people to maintain order.

Mu Chaochao's grain was sold at the previous price of five cents a dou. All the Mu family members helped in the store, including Ye Huaichen. The store stocked wheat, rice, millet, sweet potatoes, winter melons, various vegetables and fruits, etc.

"Folks, today is the opening day of Chaoxi Yunong. Chaoxi Yunong mainly sells food, vegetables, fruits and other daily necessities. The items in the store are sold at the price that everyone usually buys. Chaoxi Yun Farmers Association has always sold and sold at fair prices." Shopkeeper Xu Stand at the door and declare loudly.

"Okay, Chao Xi Yunong is doing well."

"We will only buy food at Chaoxiyunong from now on."

"A group of profiteers are trying to raise prices, but luckily there is a chance to win."

"Everyone, Chaoxi Yunnong's employer is the seventh prince of the current dynasty. It is also the court's favor for us people. Although we encountered natural disasters, the court did not give up on us. We can still settle down in our homeland. We want to thank the seventh prince."

"Thank you, Seventh Prince." The people shouted loudly.

"Brother Chen, this shopkeeper Xu is pretty good, right?" Mu Chaochao looked upstairs at the situation below.

"Sister Chaochao, you manage her well, so you just give all your good reputation to me?" Ye Huaichen pinched her face with a doting look on his face.

"Grain merchants are either closing down or raising prices. It is perfectly appropriate to use your name to appease the people during a natural disaster."

Using Ye Huaichen's name can help the store quickly establish itself in Fengyang County, and the local cowards in Fengyang County will not dare to take advantage of Chao Xi Yunong.

Moreover, Ye Huaichen also made a lot of efforts in the space and achieved many things with one move. Mu Chaochao didn't feel bad about it.

At this moment, Ye Huaichen felt soft in his heart and hugged Mu Chaochao tightly. He was very proud that his little bun was brave and resourceful. He was so worthy of his love.

"Ahem!" Tianquan reminded him when he came up to the second floor and saw the two of them hugging each other and coughing.

"What's the matter?" Ye Huaichen let go of Mu Chaochao and looked at Tianquan.

"Your Highness, the secret guards came back to inquire about Xining. The disasters in Jincheng and Luling counties are serious. The rivers have dried up, the crops have died, and the fields have dried up. King Beilin has ordered the closure of Yumen Pass. I am afraid that the drought in Xining will not be hidden for long." Yumen Pass is the gateway to Beimo. country’s checkpoints.

"Tianquan asked people to spread the word about the drought." Ye Huaichen immediately ordered.

"Your Highness, this..." Tianquan didn't understand.

"Tianquan, find someone to take this token to Shangguan's house in Tongzhou and ask Shangguan Liuyun to deliver food. This must be spread with great fanfare." Mu Chaochao handed the token from Shangguan's house to Tianquan, northwest The grain turnover in many places mainly depends on these grain merchants.

"Yes." Tianquan took it, turned around and went out without asking any more questions.

"Little Baozi is so smart."

"Brother Chen, you are smart too." The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, everyone, let's talk about the rules. Due to the large number of people, you need to have food stamps to buy food in our store. I think the county magistrate has sent people to give food stamps. Everyone is limited to buying four buckets at a time, and then come back to buy after eating. "

Four buckets weighs fifty kilograms, which is enough to feed a large family for several days. The use of food stamps to limit purchases is mainly to prevent scalpers.

"Everyone, since there are many people today, if you want to buy food, please prepare food stamps first. The first floor is the food area and the fresh meat area. The fresh meat area has chickens, ducks and pork. Only two pigs are sold a day. Chickens and ducks are the best parts to kill. Sell ​​them separately, and kill fifty of each in a day. The second floor is the fruit and vegetable dry goods area. The first forty people in line are invited first."

Shopkeeper Xu maintained order outside, the Mu family's female relatives helped collect the money, Mu Qing, Mu Che and the waiter helped with the packaging, and the Nan family brothers and sisters and Mu Heng also helped on the second floor.

Most of the people bought grain and vegetables, and wealthy people came up to buy fruits. The inventory upstairs and downstairs quickly emptied out.

Mu Chaochao secretly put things into the inventory. Everyone was very busy today, and the waiter who moved the goods didn't notice that there was not enough goods in the warehouse to move.

In a luxurious living room, several people wearing silk and satin sat together.

"What do you think we should do?" These people were the merchants who had closed down.

"Oh! Why does the seventh prince appear here?"

"Just wait a little longer, Chaoxiyunong's grain will always be sold out." Several people wanted to take advantage of the drought to make a fortune, but they didn't expect that the seventh prince of the dynasty would open a grain shop here.

They didn't dare to make trouble unless the people fought with the officials. They could only hope that Chaoxiyunong's grain would be sold out, but they didn't know that Mu Chaochao had room, and their idea was about to fail.

After a busy day, the people returned home with a full load. Mu Chaochao replenished the inventory in the store and rented two granaries from County Magistrate Li to fill the stores with grain.

The matter in Fengyang County has come to an end. I don’t know how long the natural disaster will last. As long as the people are more frugal, the county government and the court should be able to survive for a while in the future.

After the matter was settled, the Mu family hurried to Xining.

"Brother Chen, isn't Xining so serious that you are chewing tree roots?" Mu Chaochao looked at the dead grass on both sides of the road. History books record that there was no harvest due to drought, and the people exchanged their children for food. How miserable!

"I hope that with King Beilin here, the people will not be too panicked." Ye Huaichen thought deeply, King Beilin existed like a mountain in the hearts of the people in the northwest.

"King Beilin! I want to treat my idol to dinner when I get to Xining." Mu Chaochao's eyes lit up when she thought of her idol, and she got one step closer to him.

"Have you become an idol so quickly?" Ye Huaichen's tone was a little sour. He thought of someone as an idol even before they had even met him. He had known better not to mention the God of War to her.

"Brother Chen, God of War, how many Gods of War can emerge from thousands of troops?" After hearing the deeds of the God of War last time, Mu Chaochao felt good about him. Who doesn't admire heroes?

"Yes, it is very rare." In the future, he will go to the battlefield to kill enemies if he has the opportunity.

"Brother Chen, let's go into space and prepare some food in the car. We'll take it out when we enter the city."

"Okay!" The two disappeared into the carriage.
