Of course, there is also an idea of grain farming, that is, if the locust disaster is really serious, then they will be able to turn over with these grains.
Those who have the ability to store grain are of course aristocratic families.
On the one hand, they went to the places where there was no leaked information to buy low-cost grain, while on the other hand, they sold high-priced grain in the capital city, and they had no loss at all. Are not these officials behind these aristocratic families?
Zhou Jin has a headache this time, and yunbingjun has a headache as well.
Even if the plague of locusts is solved, the price of grain will not recover for a while. When it is restored, everyone is poor, and these aristocratic families will be rich.
"I still underestimated the cooperation between these aristocratic families and officials. They disclosed the news of the locust plague that day. Originally thought there was no news, but they secretly went to buy food. "
Zhou Jin was very angry and said: "at present, people's families should be able to support for a period of time. After a while, if you want every family to have cheap food, the only way is to open some granaries. However, it can only be a vicious circle. After all, the granaries can't be fully opened, and no one can predict what will happen in the end. At that time, it will still be these aristocratic families, and those officials will be the winners. "
Tang Guo or the first time to see Zhou Jin so angry appearance, usually in front of her, are smiling, very shameless appearance.
She put her hand on Zhou Jin's shoulder: "in such a big difficulty, why don't you ask me for help?"
"Guo'er, I'm afraid you can't help me with this matter." Zhou Jin quickly held Tang Guo's hand in both hands. "I know you want to help me. You can come up with a prescription to eliminate the locust plague, which has helped me a lot. But this is food, which millions of people need. The majority of these grains are in the hands of aristocratic families. It is impossible for all granaries to be opened. "
So much food, Tangguo really can't help him, although he is still very moved.
"Who said that grain was in the hands of aristocratic families?" Tang Guo asked, "ah Jin, you, the emperor, should remember to update the news at any time. If you are so backward, you should be careful that the seat under your buttocks will be unstable one day."
Zhou Jin is a little confused. What does Guo'er mean?
"The big head of grain is actually in my hands." Tangguo is no longer concerned, "you just need to open your mouth and wait for the day when the people are out of food, there will be cheap grain in various places immediately."
She has been in this world for many years, and most of the annual profits of salt wells are used to buy grain. The land of Dalan is rich and the grain harvest is very good. Almost every household has a lot of surplus grain.
She sent people to buy everything that could be bought.
Because in her memory, she knew that after the locust disaster, there would be such a thing. At that time, countless people died of starvation.
Especially in the area where the locust plague spread, countless people were so hungry that they could only eat the soil and die.
It's not that there is no grain, but these aristocratic families are not philanthropists. They will only raise prices at this time, making food more expensive than gold. How many families can eat it?
"Really?" Zhou Jin was shocked.
Lingyu couldn't help but cut in: "Your Majesty, it's true. My mother has been buying grain these years. I guess it's the mother who didn't know the truth, so I was prepared."
"Yes, Guo'er must have predicted it first. Otherwise, I didn't know about those two things in advance. As an emperor, I was not as good as you. Even Yun Bingjun was so skillful in calculation that he didn't think of the consequences."
