Seven days before the autumn harvest, the storm of food disasters started to cause panic.

At the same time, prices have skyrocketed.

As the hard currency among ordinary people, the disaster was first manifested in the price of food.

Food prices in many places have risen, and even Heyuan County's food prices have risen slightly.

The market price standard given by the Heyuan government on a daily basis has also changed, and the autumn harvest has started ahead of schedule.

But overall, it is still much cheaper than other counties.

But it will not let the people sell their food elsewhere.

Because of this price difference, it is difficult to offset the loss of transportation - there is no way for ordinary people to do transportation without loss.

After the autumn harvest in Heyuan County, Zhao Xing's granary has piled up like a mountain.

At this time, the rest of the counties have started their autumn harvest.

Sure enough, under the natural disaster, the production was greatly reduced, and in some places there was even no harvest.

At this time, Zhao Xing noticed an abnormal phenomenon.

That is the price of food in this county, skyrocketing overnight!

It even surpassed the worst-hit Kangning County.

Subsequent investigations found that many unfamiliar large households came to Heyuan County to collect grain.

When Master Liu reported the situation, Zhao Xing sneered.

"You mean, the big family in the county town has a few groups of people who want to buy things and deliberately raise the price of food in this county?"

"Is the investigation clear, who are they?"

Master Liu cupped his hands and said, "It's mainly the Jin family and the Bai family in the county town, and the other six families are only a few involved."

"Does that mean that the eight major families are all alive?" Zhao Xing raised his brows, and the chill in his eyes grew stronger.

"Sir, how to deal with it? Do you want to arrest those people?"

"No need." Zhao Xing said lightly, "How can the business atmosphere that this official finally cultivated is so easily ruined."

"If you do this, I'm afraid no one will dare to do business in the future."

"Then let's open the warehouse and release grain? Hit the price down?" Master Liu asked.

"It's okay to put food, but not now." Zhao Xing said lightly.

"Master Liu, you quickly sent people out to collect food secretly, raise the price, and we will be [-]% higher than the eight major families. We must get ahead of them and collect the surplus food in the hands of the people."

"Ah?" Master Liu was stunned.He didn't understand that the government's grain was piled up like a mountain, and instead of releasing it to lower the price, it raised the price?

"Just follow what this official tells you to do." Zhao Xing showed his white teeth, "Since those people are here, then this official will teach them a profound lesson!".

Chapter Fifty-ninth: Make a small calculation, turn over and suppress! (Ask for an evaluation ticket, ask for flowers!)

Although he didn't understand, Master Liu complied.

The first time, he sent people to collect food at a price that was [-]% higher.

Liu Zhuzhu and others, after all, are more familiar with Heyuan County and have more staff, so they quickly received a large amount of food on the first day.

The supervisors Jin and Bai, who were sitting outside Heyuan City, couldn't help laughing when they heard the news.

The director of the Jin family sneered: "I thought Zhao Xingneng was a ruthless character, but it turned out to be nothing more than that, competing with the people for profit, thanks to him for doing it?"

The general manager of the Bai family also agreed: "Since this county magistrate does not care about the life and death of the people, then we will teach him a lesson and continue to raise the price!"

"At that time, the people will not be able to buy winter food, and sooner or later they will make trouble with his county magistrate."

"General Manager, could this Zhao Xing have any tricks?" Someone raised an objection, "I heard that Zhao Xing has never done anything to compete with the people since he took office."

"And I heard that the disaster in Heyuan County this time was not very serious."

"It doesn't matter. Heyuan County is not affected by the disaster, and the food in his hand is limited. He can't hold it anymore. We will continue to buy and he will come to us at that time."

As a result, gold and white also followed suit.

In this case, grain prices in Heyuan County changed three times a day.

In just three days, the price was three times higher than that of other counties!

At this time, Zhao Xing's people are still raising the price.

The chief executives of the Jin and Bai families could not help but frown.

"This Zhao Xing, what does he want to do?"

"Hmph, so it's just a cloud of suspicion."

"do it according to plan."
