Vol 2 Chapter 4893: The calculated sister (78)

Of course, there is another idea when munching grain is that if the locust plague is really serious, then they can use the grain to turn over.
Those who have this ability to source food are naturally a family.
While they went to places where no information was leaked to buy low-priced grain, they sold high-priced grain in the capital, and they did not lose money at all. These aristocratic families, aren't these officials behind them?
Zhou Jin is having a headache this time, and Yun Bingjun is also having a headache.
Even if the locust plague is resolved at that time, the food prices will not recover for a while. When they recover, everyone will be poor, and these families will become rich.
"I still underestimated the cooperation between these aristocratic families and officials. The news of the locust plague that day was revealed by them. I thought that there was nothing happening, but they secretly went to buy food."
Zhou Jin said angrily: "At present, people's homes should be able to last for a while. After some time, if every household can eat cheap food, the only way is to open some granaries. However, this way, It can only be a vicious circle. After all, the granary cannot be fully opened, and no one can predict what will happen in the end. At that time, it will be these families and those officials will be the winners."
It was the first time that Tang Guo saw Zhou Jin's angry look. Normally, in front of him, he was smiling and shameless.
She put her hand on Zhou Jin's shoulder: "Why don't you ask me for help after encountering such a big difficulty?"
"Guo'er, you are afraid you can't help me with this matter." Zhou Jin quickly held Tang Guo's hand with both hands, "I know you want to help me. You can come up with a prescription to eliminate the locust plague. It has already helped me a lot, but This is food, which is needed by thousands of people. The bulk of this food is in the hands of the family. It is impossible for the granary to be fully opened."
With so much food, Tang Guo really couldn't help him, although he was still very moved.
"Who said that the food is in the hands of the family?" Tang Guo asked, "A Jin, you the emperor must remember to update the news at any time, so behind, be careful one day the seat under the buttocks is unstable."
Zhou Jin is a little confused, what does Guoer mean?
"The bulk of the grain is actually in my hands." Tang Guo stopped selling it. "You just need to speak up. When the people run out of grain, there will be cheap grain immediately everywhere."
She has been in this world for many years, and most of Yanjing's annual profits have been used to buy grain. The land in Dalan is very fertile and the grain harvest is very good. Almost every household has a lot of surplus grain.
She asked people to buy everything that could be acquired.
Because in her memory, she knew that such an event would happen after the locust plague, and countless people were really starved to death at that time.
Especially when the locust plague spread to that area, countless people were so hungry that they could only die of dirt.
It is not that there is no food, but that these families are not philanthropists. They will only increase their prices wildly at this time, making food more expensive than gold. How many people can eat it?
"Really?" Zhou Jin was shocked.
Lingyu on the side couldn't help but interject: "Your Majesty, it's true. Niang Niang has been buying food all these years. The slave and maid had guessed that it was Niang Niang who didn't know the prophet, so I was prepared."
"Yes, Guo'er must have anticipated it in advance, otherwise I don't know if I knew those two things in advance. I am the emperor, I am really inferior to you. Even Yun Bingjun is so good at calculating, I didn't think of the consequences."
