"Coarse grains cost twenty coins, rice costs forty coins!"
"This, this, this is the price before the rain."
Upon hearing this, all the people looked up, and then tears streamed down their faces.
The price has been reduced! The price has been reduced!
This directly brought grain prices back to the levels they were before the rain.
Bai Zhantang couldn't help but ask, "Why are the prices so low today?"
Upon hearing this, the pangolin squeezed out two tears and bowed towards the direction of the Marquis's residence.
"Does everyone know what the Marquis has been busy with these past few days? The Marquis has been busy giving all of us common people an explanation!"
"They're busy trying to find a way for us poor souls to survive!"
"These grains were all purchased from various parts of the Ming Dynasty."
"The Marquis practically begged others to sell it to him."
"Then he hoarded so much grain just to sell it to us at a low price. Nobody knows how much silver the Marquis lost in the process."
"The reason we can enjoy such low grain prices today is all because the Marquis is subsidizing it."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's image in the hearts of all the people grew even more impressive.

"When I saw him this morning, the Marquis was pale and weak, as if he had been completely drained."
"Look at the other grain merchants, they're all as fat as pigs. If all the officials in the world could be like you, Lord Marquis, how wonderful that would be."
The people bowed their heads and wiped away their tears. Some even knelt down in the direction of the Marquis's mansion and kowtowed several times.
The pangolin looked at them, tears streaming down its face: "Fellow villagers, don't be fooled by those unscrupulous merchants anymore. When you buy things in the future, please look for our Pinduoduo general store. It's cheap and affordable, and we definitely won't cheat you."
The people clapped and cheered, and began to rush to buy things.
Thinking to himself, "If I buy more, I can help the Marquis save more money."
As long as the Marquis is in power, the capital will not be thrown into chaos.
