"Old Prince, something is wrong!"

The old butler shook his whole body as if he was sifted, and he rolled and rushed to the study room of the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, the old prince was still frowning and thinking. Seeing the old butler so panicked, he couldn't help but frown.

"What happened? He was so panicked!"

"You shouldn't be at your age!"

"Old Prince, something really happened!"

The old butler said while gasping:

"The food price of the city lockdown plummeted!"

"What did you say!?"

The old prince felt that his eyes turned dark and he fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper immediately exclaimed and shouted loudly:

"Come on now! The old prince fainted..."

After an appointment, the old prince woke up slowly.

At this moment, his face was like gold paper, like an old man who was about to die.

"Butler, ahem, where is the Butler?"

"What happened in this lockdown? Why did the food prices suddenly plummet?"

At this moment, the old butler was guarding the bedside, his face full of tears.

"Old Prince, today the city was closed and a large number of merchants suddenly broke into the city."

"They seem to have planned it, and they directly set the price of grain at one tenth of the market price. And they are sold in a limited quantity!"

"East City, west City, south City, and north City are full of merchants selling grain."

"Yang Dong!!"

"It must be this kid who is secretly making trouble!!"

"I want to kill him, cough cough..."

The old prince was furious and suffered another series of violent coughs.

Seeing this, the maids immediately stepped forward to take care of them.

"Go and order all the private soldiers from the royal palace to come out and capture all these merchants!"

"Go quickly!"

The old butler sighed deeply, but did not take action immediately.

A hint of despair flashed across his wrinkled old face at this moment.

"Old Prince, it's too late, everything is too late!"

"As soon as these merchants entered the city, they took the banner of Changcheng branch."

"They said that their food was all from Changcheng. The price of food in Changcheng is cheaper than what they sell!"

As soon as this said, the old prince could no longer bear it. He squirted out his old blood and his body twitched and fell into a coma again.

"Prince, Prince!"

"Doctor, call me doctor!"

In an instant, the entire city lord's mansion was in chaos. The old housekeeper sighed deeply, pondered for a moment, and ordered the old prince's confidant:

"At present, we can only take advantage of the food as much as possible to recover the losses."

"You must do this."

"Hope...can be recovered 10%!"

"Oh! This time, we lost..."

...

Huwei Army, military camp,

Lei Qiang had a blue face and listened carefully to his subordinates' reports.

"Deputy Commander Lei, the price of grain for the city lockdown is not even 10% of our purchase price."

"And because merchants bring too much food, the prices of grain are still falling."

"Do you see if we want to... continue to sell the food we have?"

When Lei Qiang heard this, a touch of pain flashed in his eyes.

"Sell, why not!"

"We are an army, so we need so much food!"

"I remember everything that is cheap, no matter how cheap the price, you must quickly throw out excess food!"

...

So, the city was locked down,

There was still food that was priceless yesterday, but now it is full of food.

Originally, these merchants brought a lot of food to them.

The City Lord’s Mansion and Hu Wei’s Army have almost moved out all the inventory at this moment.

For a moment, the price of food in the city was even less than half the previous day!

Even at this price, few people still purchase in large quantities.

The reason is that people's herd mentality.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the food supply is oversupply and the price will fall again!

So apart from daily rations, the wealthy households did not buy them in large quantities.

This situation has exacerbated the further decline in grain prices.

The food prices in the city are now locked down, just like the housing prices in Yang Dong’s previous life.

When prices rise, people flock to it, and the market is booming.

But once the price is reduced, it will be a waste of time. Even if it is a real urgent need, you will choose to be a party.

In this way, the famine in Luozhou will be solved easily.

Yang Dong took this opportunity to not only make a lot of money, but also built a number of highway official roads for Luozhou.

What he himself did not expect was that these highway official roads will play an unimaginable role in the near future!

Of course these are all later stories, so I won’t mention them for now.

Three days later, the price of the city locked down had dropped to an incredible level.

And Yang Dong finally received a handwritten letter from the empress.

The content of the letter is very short, and with punctuation, there are only six characters in total.

"Youzhou is in danger, return quickly"

After reading the secret letter, Yang Dong put it on the candlestick and burned it out.

He sighed softly, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

Unfortunately, if we could hang them for a few more days, there would still be room for the grain price to drop.

But, I don’t have time to play house with you!

"Xiaojia, I'll give me the order to exchange all the money we have in our hands for food."

"I will give His Majesty a big gift when I return to Beijing this time!"

When Yao Jia heard this, a hint of joy flashed between her eyebrows and eyes.

These days, she has long been unhappy with Yan Bingyue, the fox charming boy.

The cold woman who pretends to be a pure and clean looks on the surface, but in fact she is a complete demonic charm.

It would be better to return to the palace as soon as possible, so that Mr. Yang would not be fascinated by the fox charming boy.

Maybe when you return to the palace, you will have a chance...

Thinking of this, Yao Jia felt that there was a bit slippery between her thighs.

...

Closing the city,

In a hidden tavern,

Yao Rui picked up the wine glass and toasted his brother.
