Xia Daohua, Xia Lihua, Wei Shiqi and Lao Wei, the four of them mixed in the crowd and observed carefully.
In addition to the truly ragged common people who came to inquire about the price of grain, there were also some people dressed in luxurious clothes, and even some young and strong men who wore shabby clothes but did not look like those from poor families.
These people could be shopkeepers, clerks, or thugs sent by grain merchants, or they could be managers or servants of wealthy families who hoard grains. What's more, they could even be spies from the enemy.
Xia Daohua smiled slightly and glanced at the brand new lantern hanging on the flagpole of the grain shop.
A 360-degree camera with no blind spots is cleverly hidden in that lantern.
The store entrance and its surroundings are within its shooting range.
Those "customers" who didn't come to buy food, whether they entered the store or wandered around it, were all visible. Even if they could hide from human eyes, they couldn't hide from it.
Since Old Wei was the official "boss" of the Taiping Grain Shop, it was natural for him to greet the shopkeepers and managers who came under the banner of various grain stores.
Therefore, he only wandered among the crowd for a moment before he got busy again. As Wei Shiqi was Old Wei's adopted son, and Lihua was Old Wei's "daughter-in-law," they naturally had to keep up.
Xia Daohua turned around and walked away with a smile.
In addition to the cameras hidden in lanterns and disguised as bonsai behind the counter, Xia Daohua also transferred sufficient manpower from "Puji Rescue" to secretly help the yamen runners arranged by Gu Mingzhen to maintain order among the crowd and avoid troubles such as stampedes.
At this moment, the onlookers had lined up in an orderly manner. The "Taiping Grain Shop" had already opened for business. Xia Daohua had nothing to worry about, so she turned and walked towards the warehouse.
I have already agreed with Gu Mingzhen that the first batch of military rations will be delivered today.
The first batch of military rations was donated by Xia Daohua.
But the little emperor had to pay for every subsequent batch of military rations.
Xia Daohua is willing to trade according to the current market price, and has decided that no matter how much the grain prices in the market rise, the price of the grain she supplies will fluctuate by no more than 10% each month.
With such a good thing happening, the little emperor would of course be happy to cooperate fully.
Xia Daohua walked into the warehouse. The warehouse had been preliminarily cleaned according to her requirements. There were no water stains on the floor, no mold spots on the walls, and the dust had been cleaned up.
Xia Daohua looked around and felt very satisfied, so she closed the warehouse door, walked to the innermost part of the warehouse, and took out the rice in sacks that had been prepared in advance from the space.
Moving rice from the space supermarket was easy. The hard part was switching the packaging, from the brightly colored, yet revealing, bags to standard sacks.
If it weren't for the fact that one could easily move items with one's mind in space, just changing the packaging would be enough to make Xia Daohua exhausted.
Fortunately, the space has been upgraded several times. As long as it is within the range of the space, Xia Daohua can do anything very conveniently. As long as she concentrates her attention, eliminates distracting thoughts, and makes her mind pure and focused, she can move her mind as she pleases and things will move as she pleases.
Xia Daohua chose a location near the innermost wall of the warehouse. Starting from the ground, she stacked sacks filled with rice layer by layer upwards, and soon the pile was high.
To others, it looked as if Xia Daohua had conjured sacks of rice out of thin air and effortlessly stacked them together. Furthermore, the ease with which she did so made it look as if she were simply stacking scraps of paper.
The two secret guards who were lying on the beams of the warehouse and peeking out could not help but widen their eyes. If they were not well-trained, they would have screamed out loud!
They were originally ordered to investigate the source of Xia Daohua and hid on the roof of the warehouse just to see clearly who was hiding behind Xia Daohua.
Who could have expected that they would see such an incredible scene!
