Chu Lixuan was dazzled by her beautiful smile. He smiled from the bottom of his heart while thinking silently in his heart.

Or do you have to keep growing more rice and potatoes every day in exchange for more horses? "How many horses does Xinxin want to raise?"

"Husband, you don't want to exchange a lot of grain for horses at once, do you? Let's exchange some stallions and mares first, and then we can breed them indefinitely."

"Hmm~ Xinxin is so smart." Chu Lixuan thought she liked it very much, so he wanted to exchange a lot for her to keep.

It turned out that she was so easily satisfied. Chu Lixuan looked at her with joy, becoming more and more obsessed with her.

Is Jiang Xinyan really easily satisfied? The answer is naturally no. She especially likes money and the happiness of making money.

However, she knew that one bite would not make a fat person, the food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and the money had to be earned bit by bit.

However, she also knew that the price of food here was very low, and rice from the south and millet from the north were one of the main foods that fed the people of Dongchen.

Grain is affected by its own laws, climate environment, trade flow and other factors, and its price fluctuates accordingly. High prices hurt people, and low prices hurt farmers.

From an economic point of view, observing changes in food prices can truly reflect the development of Dongchen Kingdom.

"Eat for men and women, human beings have great desires. Food is the basic element to maintain life. The price of food determines the quality of our lives."

Jiang Xinyan talked to Chu Lixuan about her outlook on life, values ​​and expectations for future life.

"In March last year, the emperor issued an explicit edict to the Third Division that the price of one stone of japonica rice or other grains was around 1,000 yen. But this year, due to the locust plague and the ongoing fighting in the south, the price of grain has risen to 2,500 to 3,000 yen."

Chu Lixuan also told her that due to different harvests, the price of grain in Dongchen will also be different.

For example, one stone of rice costs 118 kilograms. Food prices fluctuate due to factors such as good harvests, natural disasters, and wars.

Food worth a thousand dollars or a stone is nothing to ordinary people.

"Husband, let's price the polished rice at three thousand yuan per stone, the potatoes at one thousand yuan per stone, the coarse flour at one thousand yuan, and the fine corn flour at two thousand yuan per stone, okay?"

"Very good." Chu Lixuan was very satisfied with Jiang Xinyan's proposal. Although the price was a bit higher than usual, they had also worked hard to grow it!

The prices sold by other merchants and aristocratic families are much cheaper.

Jiang Xinyan thought of Sima Guang's complaint: "The world is declining, and all the traffickers and foot soldiers wear silk stockings." Although the words are not pleasant to listen to, the affluence of the Song Dynasty is evident.

The Dongchen Kingdom was rich before the locust plague, ranking first among the four countries. Now, it is affected by the locust plague and the war in the south.

People are starving, famines are breaking out in various places, supplies are in short supply, and profiteers are hoarding them, causing food prices to skyrocket tenfold compared to last year.

"Xinxin, what did you think of again? You smiled so dazzlingly." Chu Lixuan asked happily.

"Husband, our price is three thousand yuan per stone. It is really a conscientious price. Whether it is a grassroots or a wealthy person depends on the food in the hands of the friends."

I am undoubtedly a rich man from Dongchen Kingdom, a big boss, and will become the richest man in the world in the future, haha!

"Well, the price has been set and the trading location has been decided. As for the trading time, let them decide it! Xinxin, let's go home."

"Okay! Go home and urge them to plow the land diligently to grow food, haha..."

Chu Lixuan summoned Bing Po, "Go back and tell the prince that we are leaving. The transaction time has been set, and you will send us a message."

The King of Zhenbei has no objections. He is now a poor man. Without the support of Chu Lixuan, their Zhenbei Army can only drink from the northwest wind, and there is no need to talk about deals with North Vietnam!

They negotiated until dinner, and it was basically finalized. King Zhenbei wanted to see the guests off.

However, the North Vietnamese delegation also wanted to have dinner at the military camp, stay overnight, and go back tomorrow.

The King of Zhenbei couldn't help but drive people away. During the meal, the Sixth Princess of North Vietnam was very unhappy.

She asked fiercely: "Your Majesty, where are the brothers Master Chu?"

King Zhenbei: "..."

He didn't understand who the Chu brothers were, he only knew Chu Lixuan and his wife, and was stunned for a moment when asked.

The third prince also wanted to know why the Chu brothers didn't come to dinner.

"Your Majesty, haven't Master Chu been negotiating with us about the price of food? Why haven't we seen them during dinner?"

"He! He has gone back to prepare food. They live in Guanshan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Pingqing Fucheng. It is very far away!"

King Zhenbei said casually that Pingqing Mansion was more than three thousand miles away from here, and their trading time was scheduled for the first day of April.

It's so far away, and it would be a long time to transport food here. If Chu Lixuan lives in Youzhou.

The furthest distance is only more than 600 miles, which seems to be a lack of sincerity! King Zhenbei praised his wit.

"That's a long way away, but you Dongchen only has food in the pass, and I can understand that."

The two of them spoke Dongchen dialect, which the Sixth Princess of North Vietnam could not understand. There was no beautiful man here.

The sixth princess didn't want to guess and asked directly: "What did you say?"

"Brothers Chu, have gone back to prepare food to trade with us." The third prince explained to her.

"What? They left? Didn't they say they were going back to North Vietnam with this princess? Third brother, what do you mean?"

"When did they say they would come back to North Vietnam with us? Stop thinking so much and just eat in peace!"

The third prince suppressed his anger and said that he was not the queen's son, so his status in North Vietnam was not as high as that of the sixth princess.

"Okay! You actually helped an outsider to deceive this princess, who is your sister! Are you not afraid of your father punishing you if you treat this princess like this?"

Hum! The third prince raised his eyes and looked at her deeply, then lowered his head and ate slowly.

Now, he has negotiated the price of grain with the King of Zhenbei and still supplies unlimited quantities. He is a hero of North Vietnam.

The third prince did not believe that his father would punish him for a favored daughter.

If so much food had not been discussed this time, the third prince might still be afraid that the sixth princess would be punished by his father if she went back to complain.

The delicate princess saw that her third brother, who usually obeyed her orders, actually ignored her this time, so she made a fuss and refused to eat.

The envoys were still a little worried about the queen, so they patiently persuaded her, "Sixth Princess, Master Chu is going back to prepare food. In twenty days, we will start trading items."

"Yes! Sixth Princess, you can go to the trading location and meet Master Chu."

"Sixth Princess also doesn't want your father and queen to go hungry!"

The main reason is that the sixth princess doesn't want to eat, so they don't dare to use chopsticks! Otherwise, who would be so proactive in persuading her!

The sixth princess is sweet and willful, but she still has some scruples about moving out from her father and queen.

Her maid also came forward to persuade her: "Princess, your health is in critical condition. The twenty days will pass soon."

After everyone kept persuading, the sixth princess managed to eat.
