At the lunar month, there were more than one caravans heading against the cold wind. Read the full text of the latest chapters Hua Interview: At the lunar month, there were more than one Hua Fuxing members who were "stuck" in the caravans and went deep into the tiger's "acupuncture".

They are all very young, and most of them can write and calculate, and even without taking any risks, they can live quite rich in their lives. However, at least at this moment, he did not go, but no one had calculated his personal life, death, honor and disgrace. They sowed like seeds, Jeju, Gaotang, Qingzhou, Dadu, and even as far as Kaiping and Yingchang. They silently took root in various places, sprouted silently, and grew up until one day, they bloomed with their lives.

According to later statistics from the Huaxia Fuxing Society, during the Northern Expedition and during the later period of the stable local area, more than 1,100 members of the Fuxing Society died at the hands of the "Mongol" Yuan army and gentry. In the early stages of the Northern Expedition, the entire Fuxing Society had only 3,000 members.

Huge sacrifices also mean great gains.

However, in just over a dozen days from the end of the twelfth lunar month to the tenth day of the first lunar month, the rice prices in cities north of the Yellow River rose by 30% like a rocket. Unlike the natural "wave" during the Chinese New Year, this time the "wave" did not show any sign of falling back. As soon as the 10th day of the first lunar month began, the numbers on the water signs of each grain store scared the people who came to buy rice. Brown rice went from 220 cents to 30 cents at the end of the twelfth lunar month to 30 cents. The price of one stone of white flour was as high as 500 cents. This is the standard discount on Huaxia Tongbao. If you use Zhiyuan copper coins, it will be doubled.

"Shopkeeper Sun, you are too unscrupulous. You dare to raise prices like this in the first month of the year, so you are not afraid of being seen by the Kitchen God and being punished by God?" Immediately, some people started to curse, with unconcealed grief and anger in their voices. (hua ads)

It is common sense that merchants will make more money during the holidays. Everyone can tolerate it. But the year has passed, and they still keep the high prices, which is just deliberately cheating people. You know, for almost a whole year last year, the rice price was around 150 cents of Huai money per stone. Many people in the city have been used to it, and even when autumn comes, they don’t even think about stocking up next year’s food rations. When the rice shop is over, they will continue to double the rice price directly, which is equivalent to grabbing money from everyone’s pockets. Whose money is made back by sweat beads falling on the ground and eight petals. How can they withstand this method of robbing the conscience?

"Yes, Manager Sun. It was snowing so much last year, so why didn't it look like a famine? Your boss was doing this during the Chinese New Year. What are you trying to do?!"

"Shopkeeper Sun, we have accepted it. After all, it's the end of the year, and you and the guys have worked hard. But this year is over. Your boss must be fine, let's have a full meal, right?!"

The other people around also spoke, moved them with emotion and reason, and advised Manager Sun not to do unethical things that would stumbling people!

Unexpectedly, Manager Sun not only did not listen to the advice, but immediately patted his legs and shouted. "Oh, I said, "You guys, young men, all the people say I am unethical, so I am willing to be stabbed by someone? I bow my head and see the old neighbors. I'm fine. Why do you do if I'm fine? It's really impossible. In the whole winter, there was not much rice and grain coming to the south. After spring, it was said that the Huai thieves still had to go north. Once this battle started, who knows when and when will peace be restored? There is only so much rice and grain in my store, and one less one bit of food is sold at once. How dare you sell it at a low price?!"

"Are you really going to fight in a war?"

"Yes, Uncle Sun, you are well-informed. Do you really want to fight?"

"Oh, this is so miserable! Mr. Sun, why didn't you tell everyone earlier!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately didn't care about accusing Manager Sun of his unethical behavior. They all had pale faces and digged their roots.

"I only know, young men!" Manager Sun had a bitter face and bowed to everyone. "If I had known the letter, I would have persuaded the owner to stock up on tens of thousands of stones of grain. Not to mention selling it, I would feel at ease even if I put it in the warehouse to look at it! But like everyone, I am a commoner. I usually do a small business to support my family. Who would tell me what big things really happen?"

"well!"

"Oh! It's so unlucky!"

"Isn't it? I've just had a few days of silence?"

...

Sighs came one after another. Whether it was a change of dynasty or a change of generations, it was all the affairs of heroes. Who could the common people stop it? Who cares about their families being "forced" by war to destroy them?

After sighing, everyone looked at each other and took out the largest number they could use in their pockets, buying rice from Manager Sun and his friend. If they really wanted to fight, the rice price would definitely continue to rise. Buy more today and spend hundreds of copper coins in the future. Although the difference between only a few hundred cigarettes, dozens of dou, and three or two stones often means that they can survive this battle and starve to death!

Some people were reluctant to give up. While watching the guys put rice into their own grain pockets, they asked tentatively: "Uncle Sun, Master Sun, didn't the Huaiyang people govern the country by business and were greedy for dividends? They did not get stuck in the canal in the previous few wars. This time."

"The problem is that this time is different from before. In the past, the court could still gain the upper hand. They just wanted to protect themselves and did not dare to do anything. But this time, the court..., alas, I won't say it anymore! It's a disaster if I say too much!" Manager Sun looked around alertly and closed his mouth again.

The court is no longer able to do it, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see. Although the turmoil last autumn had little impact on the people, the people all know that family harmony can be prosperous. Both fathers and sons have used their knives. How can this family be invincible?

"The key is that even if the Huai'an army does not block the canal, we dare not do business from the river anymore!" Some words were not dared to say by Manager Sun. Among the customers who came to buy rice, there were bold people. He pointed out a fact. "Think about it, the emperor can't even control his wife and children. Can he control the arrogant soldiers and generals below? You came from the south to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and you accumulated great virtue from the Buddha. But when the officials saw it, hey, so many meters, I was short of military rations here. He kindly lit up his knife and asked you to put down the grain ship and leave. When he met the person who was a nerdy, he found a charge to ease your head and took the boat away. You were still counting on your wife and children to go to Dadu to sue the emperor for justice? Alas--!"

"Oh--!" Everyone sighed in unison when they heard this. Everyone knew what kind of virtues of the "Meng Yuan" officers and soldiers were. Every time they passed through the canal, the two sides were as clean as locusts. After that, no one would stand up or take back the losses for the victims. This time, the northern invasion of the Huai'an army was invading, and the officers and soldiers had to go up the canal. When the fleet transporting food met the officers and soldiers, wouldn't it be that "meat" buns beat dogs?
