"Duo...Duo Shao?" The people couldn't believe their ears.
"Two taels of silver or two thousand coins per stone!" the soldier repeated.
"Oh my god, this is too cheap!"
"Yes, it's a whole tael cheaper than the food in the grain store!!!"
"Your Majesty is wise and wise, long live the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty is wise and holy. Long live the Emperor!"
The people knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to Chongzhen who was far away in Beijing.
Because the price was so low, as soon as the grain was released, people rushed to buy it.
In order to prevent people from buying low and selling high, and because there were so many people and it was difficult to identify them, Lu Daqi assigned the responsibility to the village head.
Any purchase of low-priced grain must be led by the village head.
In the Ming Dynasty, one li was composed of 110 households. According to the standard of two shi of grain per household per month, the maximum amount of grain purchased by each li head and his people per month was 220 shi.

The key to winning this battle is to force grain traders to lower prices.
The longer he persists, the greater the probability that grain merchants will lower prices!
While Xi'an Prefecture was selling grain, caravans began to transport grain to other prefectures, states, and counties.
Although the time of arrival in different places was different, in less than a month, the people of the entire Shaanxi Province were able to eat low-priced grain.
Under the impact of low-priced grain, high-priced grain in various places has become unsalable.
As time went on, the merchants and gentry who hoarded grain could no longer hold on.
