Shocked! After planting, a sickly and charming first assistant will grow up.

Luo Xi still felt that Gong Huo was not enough, so she said something very mean: "It's my brother, come and chop me down!"

Mi was so angry that veins popped out of her forehead: "Who the hell is your brother!"

Bai Tingyun, who finally had time to take a look at his grain, said: "..." He didn't see the grain, only the bastard who kept posing and provoking the head of the Mi family.

Is this a way of letting yourself go by not showing your face?

He turned around silently. After all, paper could not cover up the fire. He waited until the identity of the two was exposed and then thought of today to see how they would face it!

Luo Xi kept talking nonsense, relying on the people lining up to protect her, the head of the Mi family couldn't hit her, and the waves flew up.

When the head of the Dong family took him away, Mi Sheng got a new nickname "Mi Sheng Chong" after Lang Mie.

"..."

Luo Xi's guess was right that day. The food that refugees resold privately was the real market price. The general trend was that the family had no choice but to follow the price reduction.

Tonight, she continued to cause trouble.

He asked people to disguise themselves and sneak into the refugee group, sell rice and noodles in large quantities, and reduce the price from thirty-five cents per pound to twenty-seven cents.

Prices are down again, of course! Her food supply has also bottomed out, with only more than 200 and less than 300,000 left.

Jin Bei's people disguised themselves as grain merchants and began to spread the word in Yongning County to purchase large quantities of grain.

The family received the news quickly.

Luo Xi began to cooperate with Jin's actions.

The eighth day——

"Empty" opened the door and dropped a bombshell. The price of ten cents per catty dropped to nine cents.

The people were as happy as the New Year and felt that this natural disaster was about to pass. Some shops have even reopened.

"..."

Jin ran to Bai Tingyun and complained: "Sir! Do you think the person named Luo is crazy? She only has two grains of rice left in her hand and she dares to lower the price."

Bai Tingyun knew that Jin was under a lot of pressure as his inventory bottomed out, so he motioned to a heroic woman behind him to explain to him.

The woman was dressed in black and had her hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She looked very neat and capable.

She is "Shui", another secret guard under Bai Tingyun.

The situation in Yongning County was tense, and Bai Tingyun had no choice but to transfer all four secret guards who had grown up together from the capital to Yongning County.

Metal, wood, water, fire.

Shui is the only woman among them. She is both a secret guard and the manager of Bai Tingyun's business.

Shui Chongjin rolled his eyes, "I think the one named Luo Xi did the right thing. At this time, the price must be lowered."

Knowing that Jin didn't understand, she explained: "First: the price reduction is sending a signal to the outside world that the disaster will soon end."

"Second: Put pressure on grain merchants! It's also a demonstration. I dare to lower the price. I have plenty of grain in my hands."

"The third and most important point is that starting from the price reduction, the number of people buying food will decrease or even be cut in half."

"Why?" Jin asked without understanding.

Shui opened his mouth and smiled, "It's in people's minds to buy up and not down. They will wait until the price of food is lower before buying. If the price drops again tomorrow, it's not a loss today."

After speaking, Shui looked at Bai Tingyun: "Sir! Can I fall in love with Luo Xi?"

"She is really powerful! She looks like she is dancing on the cliff, but she is as sharp as a cheetah. She strikes quickly and accurately, and can tear off a big mouthful of meat from her prey every time."

The latter nodded: "You take over from Jin to deal with Luo Xi."

"Take the order!" Shui smiled happily.

While Jin was relieved, he was also a little disappointed.

He is not stupid, he has his own strengths and weaknesses. He is better at taking the enemy's head than going around and around to burn his brain.

It’s just that I’m really happy spending these days with Luo Xi, even though I’m constantly teased and criticized by her, and even forced to wear the same flowery clothes.

But I have to say, the time we spent together was really fun.

She just has a calmness and a very contagious personality.

"..."

At the same time, Huo, disguised as a grain merchant, finally contacted the head of the Lan family.

The old fox-like head of the family sat at the top, sizing up the unfamiliar grain merchant.

After half the payment, he asked: "How much do you pay to receive the grain from my hand?"

Huo gestured: "Nine articles."

The head of the Lan family almost kicked people out. This kid really dared to say, why didn't he grab it?

Huo sneered: "People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. Food from the imperial court was quickly distributed to all places. Not to mention nine coins, not even seven coins."

In fact, how could it be so fast?

Although His Majesty has issued an order to open the granary and release grain, the people below him have violated the regulations and exploited them at every level. They don't even know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse until they get it.

Hearing this, the head of the Lan family was shocked. The grain merchants from other places already knew the news. He couldn't wait any longer.

But the person in front of him kept the price down too hard, so he decided to sell it to the next county, where the price was much higher.

After leaving Lan's house, Huo came to the grain store from the secret passage. When he came, Shui looked excited and was talking to Luo Xi.

The two of them turned to him at the same time, Luo Xi raised her eyebrows, and Shui couldn't wait to ask: "What's the result?"

Huo shrugged and looked at Luo Xi: "You guessed it, I was rejected."

The news that the imperial court opened warehouses to release grain was spread by Luo Xi. At that time, Bai Tingyun also said that she was bold enough to leak the secrets of the imperial court.

But Luo Xi is full of courage and fat.

When the matter was urgent, she obeyed the authority, and she did not spread rumors. At this time, it was all about who had the best means!

Luo Xi stretched out her hand toward the water, "Bring it here! Five taels of silver."

Shui pouted, reluctantly took out five taels of silver and gave it to Luo Xi, not forgetting to curse: "Trash."

How about that arrogance in Beijing? When she came to Yongning County, any negotiation would fail, causing her to lose money.

Luo Xi put away the money and stood up to stretch. The flowered gown on her body was particularly... dazzling: "Get ready, let's do something tonight."

"Grain entering Yongning County must be digested within the county, and there is no possibility of flowing into other provinces."

The two of them were shocked, and went on arranging the arrangements without arguing.

"..."

night--

The grain store was closed, Gu Yue settled the accounts and gave her friend a thumbs up:

"You're right again. We only sold 30,000 kilograms of grain today, which is the lowest number since we opened."

Luo Xi put on her regular clothes and asked Gu Yue, "Are you going out with me or should you take a good rest for a day?"

Gu Yue thought for a while: "I've been really tired lately, so I won't go with you today."

Tiredness was the second priority. He knew that his friend had more important things to do when he went out tonight besides exchanging rice and noodles for beans.

If he doesn't have force, he won't follow and cause trouble.

Luo Xi set up the carriage as usual and headed to South Alley to trade with Fatty.

He planned in his mind when the batch of rice and noodles he had exchanged would be returned to him.

Seeing the murderous intent in her eyes that day, the fat man was very honest and didn't dare to do anything.

Before leaving, Luo Xi looked at the other party and said, "Tonight is the last transaction."

The fat man did the math and guessed that the food she still had in her hands had been exhausted. He waved goodbye in a good voice and said, "Brother Luo, please come and patronize the business more often in the future!"

Luo Xi smiled meaningfully and said the same two words: "Yes!"

"..."

She met Shui Huo on Dock Street. When she arrived, the three of them were already waiting with a group of people at the agreed place.

Seeing Luo Xi's outfit, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Brother! Flowery gowns are not enough, so you are interested in beggar's clothes again?"
