Chapter 430 Food Arrives
As Jiang Chen issued these orders, the people cheered!
Although they would not starve to death when they drank the porridge, they still could not feel full!
Now, they can not only eat their fill, but also make money!
What a great thing this is!
However, the aristocratic families in Jinling County and the grain merchants from other places were all dumbfounded!
Repair roads, dredge rivers...
That means that starting today, Luzhou County, and even the entire Jiangnan area, cannot be entered or left! ?
What about their food?
I was originally thinking of shipping it out to reduce the losses!
But now it seems that I can only be trapped in Jiangnan!
"My Lord, isn't this too sudden? Should we wait a little longer..."
The Jinling County Magistrate realized that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to persuade Jiang Chen!
But the next second, the sword in Jiang Chen's hand was already unsheathed and placed on his neck!
"My Lord, you...what are you doing..."
The Jinling County Magistrate was so frightened that he was shaking all over.
But Jiang Chen said coldly: "Haha, what should I do?"
"I'm telling you, be honest and don't mess around!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
"My lord, I...I..." The Jinling County Magistrate was so frightened that he could not speak.
His guards and subordinates didn't dare to say a word!
"Humph!"
Jiang Chen saw the timid look on the Jinling County Magistrate's face, snorted coldly, and walked into the government office.
After arriving at the treasury, Jiang Chen ordered everyone to leave, while he himself stayed in the treasury.
After ordering Xu Meng to guard the door, Jiang Chen waved his hand and directly put all the sacks that had just been delivered into the system space!
Afterwards, he took out all the food stored in the system space!
In this way, everything in those sacks became food!
……
"This time, even if they come to check, they will definitely be fooled!"
Jiang Chen smiled coldly, then turned and left the treasury.
Yes, those sacks were filled with sand and gravel!
Jiang Chen sent someone to find him specially.
His purpose is to confuse those aristocratic families!
However, when it comes to food, Jiang Chen actually has some, but it is just difficult to take it out.
Now, with these foods, Jiang Chen is not afraid anymore!
This time, let’s see what those aristocratic families will do!
On the other side, all the aristocratic families gathered together!
"Master Lu, what should we do?!"
"Master Lu, the imperial court has brought in so much grain, we definitely won't be able to sell our grain!"
"Master Lu, we won't lose everything this time!"
"Master Lu..."
Everyone surrounded the head of the Lu family and started asking questions!
"Enough!!!"
Patriarch Lu became angry when he saw everyone chattering!
"us……"
When the wealthy businessmen saw that the head of the Lu family was angry, they all became quiet and dared not speak!
"The imperial court may not have that much food!"
"We haven't received any information from the imperial court about collecting grain!"
"Those grains are probably fake!"
"Jiang Chen deliberately lied to us!"
"Everyone stay calm, don't panic!"
Patriarch Lu said in a deep voice.
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"If it's fake, then we just need to stabilize food prices and there will be no problem!"
"It must be fake. Jiang Chen deliberately lied to us!"
"That's right! We need to stabilize food prices!"
Everyone said in unison.
Only when the head of the Lu family saw this scene did he feel relieved.
……
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
But the first thing they did after dispersing was to send people to check the treasury of the government office.
After this inspection, everyone was even more dumbfounded!
Because the treasury was full of grain!
And it looks like new food!
This time, the aristocratic families could no longer sit still!
They hurried to find someone to sell the food to!
However, given the current situation, no one dares to take over!
Even if we buy at normal grain prices, it is destined not to be sold this year. It will be stored next year and the price will be lower!
By then...it will be terrible!
Lu's house, hall.
The Jinling County Magistrate came here with an anxious look on his face.
"How is it!?" When the head of the Lu family saw the Jinling County Magistrate, he stood up and asked hurriedly.
"Master Lu, the situation...is not very good. Those...those grains...are all real..."
The Jinling County Magistrate said with a painful look on his face.
"What!? It's all true!?"
"How can this be!"
"Did you see it wrong?!"
"Where did Jiang Chen get so much food?!"
"This is impossible!?"
"impossible!"
Patriarch Lu has gone completely crazy!
He spent a lot of money to stockpile food!
Now...now he has to pay a lot!
"Master Lu, I don't know either!"
"Jiang Chen didn't tell me, and I didn't dare to ask!"
"Today... Today Jiang Chen almost killed me with his sword..."
When the Jinling County Magistrate thought of this, he felt a sense of fear!
"This this……"
The head of the Lu family sat on the chair, speechless for a long time!
"No! We must sell the grain as soon as possible! Otherwise, the Lu family will suffer heavy losses!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Call Lucius over!"
"Yes!"
Following the order from the head of the Lu family, the housekeeper hurried to call people!
……
When Lu Xiu arrived, the Jinling prefect had already left.
"Father, do you want to ask me something?"
Lucius looked at his father with fear.
He already knows what happened in Jinling County now.
He is afraid that his father will take his anger out on him!
"Lu Xiu! Go find Jiang Chen tomorrow and sell him all the food of the Lu family!"
"Father, Jiang Chen...won't want it?"
"Now he has no shortage of food..."
Lucius said helplessly.
"Haha, he'll want it!"
Patriarch Lu said coldly.
"why?"
Lucius looked puzzled.
"The price we offer Jiang Chen must be less than five cents. This way, Jiang Chen can make a lot of money by transporting the grain. How could he not want it?"
Patriarch Lu said through gritted teeth.
"What!?"
Lucius was shocked when he heard this!
Less than five cents! ?
That's a hundred times lower!
Moreover, it is lower than before the disaster!
"Do as I say!"
"This time, we lost. We lost everything to Jiang Chen!"
"His methods are beyond belief. We... can only admit defeat!"
Even though the head of the Lu family was unwilling, he could only accept this fact!
Not only the head of the Lu family, but all the families, big and small, in Jinling County think so!
They just want to pay less!
However, some among them are going to lose everything!
That is... the person who bought the Lu family’s food!
The heads of several of their families were so angry that they vomited blood.
But they could only grit their teeth and persevere!
When this news reached the ears of Saint Xuanxuan, she was also dumbfounded!
"impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Jiang Chen, where did all this food come from!"
"Am I going to lose?!"
