Chapter 260 Jin Dasinong

  In the final cooking group, Yu Xiaolian used his own people, guarded by Yu Changhe, Sun Fengshou and Mrs. Sun.

  As for Sun Erji's daughter-in-law, Yu Xiaolian arranged for her to cook for everyone, and the wages were the same.

  In addition to these, Yu Xiaolian also arranged for Sun Feixue to help Sun, otherwise Sun would be too busy to take care of two children alone.

  As for the grown-up grandsons of Fourth Master Sun, Yu Xiaolian arranged for them to purchase and transport spices.

  The granddaughters are also responsible for cutting the base material into squares of the same size, wrapping them in oiled paper, tying them with straw ropes, and putting them into the stone house in the backyard.

  For several days in a row, Yu Xiaolian went back and forth between Taohua Village, Los Angeles City and the Academy, busy like a dog.

   When the first batch of hot pot base ingredients passed the shopkeeper Zhao and were sold out successfully, Yu Xiaolian discovered a problem. The academy started, but Brother Su Jingchen didn't come back?

   Could it be that something happened to them when they went to Funan?

  Or decided to settle in Funan in the future?

   Su Jingchen has been away for more than two months, and there is no news at all. What happened?

  Hmph, I don't know if someone will send her a message.

   Before Su Jingchen's letter came, Yu Xiaolian waited for Jiang Lin's letter.

Because of the long-term correspondence with Fu Zhihan, Yu Xiaolian and the postman in charge of the post are already very familiar with each other. Therefore, years ago, when Yu Xiaolian asked the post station to help deliver a letter to the General's Mansion in Zhennan , the post officer agreed to Yu Xiaolian without hesitation.

  Yu Xiaolian didn't expect to receive Jiang Lin's reply in less than two months.

  In the letter, Yu Xiaolian asked Jiang Lin to help find out about Sun Erji and Sun Wulin, and see if they were in General Yu's army.

  Jiang Lin told Yu Xiaolian in his reply that he would try his best to help find out, but told Yu Xiaolian not to have too much hope. After all, finding two people in a huge army is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

   Moreover, Sun Erji and Sun Wulin were temporarily incorporated into the team by King Jin in the Northland. As far as he knew, when King Jin came back from the Northland, he was seriously injured, and there were not many guards left around him.

  If there was a brother from the Sun family in the guard team when King Jin returned to Beijing, that person must be gone.

  Yu Xiaolian put down the letter with a heavy heart.

  But she thought about it carefully, and met King Jin in a remote town. At that time, the inn was surrounded by King Jin's personal guards and asked to clear the place.

But she thought that there should not be Sun Erji and Sun Wulin among those people. After all, they only have a lot of strength, but they don't know martial arts. King Jin probably wouldn't bring them with him. Presumably they should be left by King Jin in the Northland Some of them worked as coolies in a certain place and did not return to Beijing with King Jin, or did they follow the official road taken by the large army and went to the south?

  Yu Xiaolian decided to send a letter to Zheng Yuanfeng, asking him to help find out about Sun Erji and Sun Wulin.

   Fortunately, Fu Zhihan, an official girlfriend, is here, otherwise it would be a problem to send a letter.

Of course, Yu Xiaolian would not let the post officer help in vain. Every time she sent a letter, she would bring gifts to the post managers. Sometimes it was wine and tea, and sometimes it was some pastries for them to send a letter. Take it home for my wife and kids to eat.

   Over time, Yu Xiaolian has also become familiar with people like the postman, and the postman is often the fastest place to know official news.

  On this day, Yu Xiaolian sent another letter to Jiang Lin, and heard such news.

  The imperial court is about to start controlling local chaos, including controlling the price of salt, iron and grain.

  Because some officials filled their own pockets and amassed money crazily, causing the people to live in dire straits and complaining.

  The people can carry a boat, but they can also overturn it. The emperor understands this truth.

  In addition, it is the beginning of spring, and it is the time when the crops are in short supply. Because the number of people dying of starvation in various places keeps increasing, the imperial court has to pay attention to it.

  The news from the post officer was very accurate, and the real control regulations were posted within a few days.

  The new regulations stipulate that coarse grains shall not exceed ten cash per catty, and fine grains shall not exceed twenty-five cash per catty.

   Not only official shops can sell grain, but rice grain shops can also reopen.

  The price of salt has also been reduced by half, but the price of iron has remained almost the same, but officials are not allowed to go to villagers' homes to confiscate iron without reason.

  As soon as the regulations came out, many people were very happy, as if seeing the sun in the hazy sky for many days.

As soon as this regulation came out, the common people were happy, but Jin Dongsheng, the owner of the rice grain official shop, was not happy. Their rice grain was collected at a high price, but now they have to sell it at a low price. How could he be happy? up?

It is called an official shop in name, but in fact it is because his own elder brother is a senior farmer who worships the second rank of the official. He used his position to plant an official flag for his shop. Sinong's elder brother is one and half.

  Although in the past six months or so, they have earned more money than in the past few years, but right now he will not do it if he is asked to lose money and sell rice to the people.

  Jin Dongsheng's elder brother, Jin Dasinong, in order to make his own grain store a dominant force, suppressed the rice grain stores in various states and counties by various methods, leaving only his own industry to operate normally.

  Even if other rice grain stores have purchase channels, he still has to use his power to prevent their grain from being transported into the city.

  So, when the Jin family's grain store closed, the entire Los Angeles city immediately became a situation where there was no grain to buy.

   Isn’t it Shiwen? I do not sell!

  Are you begging me to sell you some? Okay, go to the back door, fifty pennies, do you want love!

  Jin Dongsheng did this, but Jin Dasinong, who was far away in the capital, didn't know it.

  When the imperial court ordered the control of grain prices, Jin Dasinong had already sent news to various states and counties, asking them to implement the imperial court regulations, because there would be patrol censors to investigate these matters soon.

  Jin Dongsheng was not. He thought he could sell all the high-priced grain he had stored before the inspector censor came to investigate.

  In addition to this fluke mentality, Jin Dongsheng also believes that Yuzhou is the territory of King Jin, and King Jin even has a mansion in Luocheng, and his brother Jin Dasinong belongs to King Jin.

  Over the years, all the money his brother has earned has been used to help King Jin secretly recruit soldiers. The relationship between their Jin family and King Jin is iron-clad.

  He is in King Jin's territory, earning money for King Jin, who can do anything to him?

  What is there to inspect the censor? It's not that he has never seen it before, he is not afraid!

  Most of these censor inspections are just a formality, so what is there to be afraid of?

   Besides, when the censor enters the city, he lowers the price of grain, just for a temporary display. Don't those poor people dare to stop their sedan chairs and sue?

  If there is really someone who is not open-eyed, then their family is really bored.

  Jin Dongsheng disregarded the court regulations and still sold high-priced grain, but he changed to an inconspicuous facade and did not plant an official flag.

  The common people knew that the Jin family had a big backer, so they dared not speak out when they were angry, so they had to swallow their anger.
