Chapter 210 Purchase Limit

With just one glance, Xiao Jingyu stopped the person. He shouted:

"The boss has ordered that each person is limited to a certain amount of food to be purchased every day."

"In order to ensure that the people in the capital have food to eat every day, people are not allowed to buy a large amount of food at one time."

"What?!"

After hearing the latest regulations in the shop, some people who were queuing to buy food reacted a little too much, which seemed a little abrupt at this time.

"But I have just ordered five large bags of new rice from the shopkeeper. What do you mean now? Are you going to go back on your word and not sell it to me?"

"No way. How can you change your mind about something you have agreed to?"

"I don't care whether you sell it to others or not. Anyway, I will definitely carry away the five large bags of rice you agreed to give me."

As he spoke, the man was about to snatch food from the shop clerk.

Xiao Jingyu grabbed the man's hand and prevented him from touching the bag of grain, let alone taking the grain and running away:

"Why, do you still want to force the sale?"

"The grain price in the shop is now 1.5 times higher, whether it is high or low, everyone knows it."

"So many people need to eat rice, why do you buy so much at once?"

"You buy today, buy tomorrow, what's the matter, do you have so many people waiting for the rice to be cooked, or do you want to buy all the rice in the shop by yourself?"

Xiao Jingyu didn't expect that Zhu Xuntao's worry would come true.

This is the capital, under the eyes of the emperor, and in the hands of the prince,

and there are still people who dare to have such thoughts and use tricks.

This person is shameless and really has no bottom line at all.

At first, no one reacted to what Xiao Jingyu said.

No matter how much or how little rice others bought, as long as there was still the grain they wanted to buy in the shop, it was enough.

Just as Xiao Jingyu said, after seven days of heavy snow,

the grain price was controlled at 1.5 yuan per shop, which was simply the most conscientious price.

Seeing that the rice and grain prices in each shop were well controlled and there was grain to sell every day,

the people in the capital did not panic and buy grain in a big way.

The phenomenon of hoarding grain only appeared on the day when the grain price was five times,

and then disappeared completely the next day when the grain price returned to three times.

Zhu Xuntao was very clear about the people's desire to grab food.

If it weren't for the immediate effect, Zhu Xuntao and the prince wouldn't even let the grain price increase fivefold.

But only after falling under such a high grain price of five times, the people know the pain.

When the grain price is slowly adjusted back in the later stage, the people will naturally do things to scramble for it again.

The prince was still very convinced by Zhu Xuntao's analysis.

God knows how shocked the prince was when he first heard from Zhu Xuntao that

the grain price should be adjusted to five times in the shortest time and at the fastest speed.

He almost wanted to ask Zhu Xuntao if he didn't sleep well last night, so he slipped up and

said price control instead of price increase.

Fortunately, Zhu Xuntao's subsequent explanation convinced the prince very well.

The prince thought about it carefully, and then found that Zhu Xuntao's method was the best.

Otherwise, he would first hit the people hard on the head. Even if the grain he harvested could be sold until next year,

as long as one person who was unaware of the situation or even wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble hoarded grain, the others would go crazy.

If the grain he had worked so hard to harvest was finally held in the hands of those with ulterior motives,

or if it still failed to appease the people, then wouldn't he have worked in vain? He

bought grain at five times the price, and then watched the grain price drop a little or even stabilize.

As long as he thought of having five times the grain at home, the people's desire to grab grain would be as cold as it could be.

This would be of great help to his later stabilization of the market.

Without falling on the grain price, the people would not listen to anyone who tried to persuade them.

Okay, just do as Zhu Xuntao said.

At that time, the prince praised Zhu Xuntao for her ability to come up with such a tricky method.

But what makes people feel helpless is that the people are still willing to learn their lesson only after suffering losses.

Zhu Xuntao's method is very good.

It helped him avoid the chaos that might happen in advance and made things go more smoothly.

So, is Zhu Xuntao really not wrong about gender?

With Zhu Xuntao's brain, it is simply a waste of talent for the heroine to stay in the back house.

If Zhu Xuntao was a man, he would definitely use Zhu Xuntao and make Zhu Xuntao the first person around him.

Think about how many staff he has kept, all added together, they are not as good as one Zhu Xuntao.

Zhu Xuntao was the one who coordinated everything. His staff could only help him a little bit, and

in the end, they all followed Zhu Xuntao's orders.

Aren't they all equal?

​​His staff were more numerous than three and more qualified than Zhuge Liang.

But why couldn't they perform better than Zhu Xuntao when all of them were added together?

The prince only thought about these things in his heart and didn't say them to Zhu Xuntao.

He was afraid that he had exaggerated too much. What if Zhu Xuntao was arrogant and refused to do things for him or think of solutions in the future?

Zhu Xuntao didn't have the ability to hear other people's thoughts, so she didn't know what the prince was thinking at all.

If the prince let Zhu Xuntao know his thoughts, Zhu Xuntao would tell him that

it didn't matter whether she was a man or not. At worst, she could just dress up as a man.

If the prince had expressed this intention earlier before she got married,

she could have lived her whole life as a man and never worn makeup again.

As a workplace expert, this is not a big deal, and it also saves her the trouble of getting married, the best of both worlds.

In short, thanks to Zhu Xuntao's advance deployment, everything went in an orderly manner.

Until today, when Zhu Xuntao heard that the price of grain had recovered to 1.5 times after the snowstorm,

he calculated the speed of price reduction and felt that it was not good, so he asked Xiao Jingyu to ask the prince to control it.

Almost everyone in the capital knows that the few shops that can still sell grain after the snowstorm

are all related to the royal family.

In addition, there is no big problem with the price of rice, and it is getting more affordable day by day,

so everyone has a tacit understanding about this, and no one dares to make trouble.

Today's situation is really the first in history.

The common people are easily instigated, but they still listened to Xiao Jingyu's simple words.

Seeing that the grain price in the city was stable and there was no problem with the grain supply, the common people naturally had no extra thoughts in their minds.

Now Xiao Jingyu reminded everyone that

even if there was no problem for a while, it did not mean that there would be no problem forever.

If someone appeared to hoard grain, what would they do if they really bought up all the grain? Would they

go and find five times or even more than five times the grain to buy?

They are not crazy!
