Chapter 1161 Prices soar

"Then the young woman will answer the Liu family's business first."

Liu Sichun is neither humble nor arrogant, and her logical thinking is very clear. She replied: "Overall, everything is within the expected plan. Although there are some minor changes, the Liu family can solve it, especially the business of the money house. Recently, it has begun to grow significantly. The people's trust in the money house has gradually deepened, and they have begun to deposit money into the money house one after another."

"In addition, the soap business has begun to be promoted and the sales are very good."

"What is surprising is that some remote places were unwilling to let money shops enter, but after receiving the promise of a large amount of soap supply, local merchants all felt relieved, which shows that the wealth is moving and the eternal truth."

Li Chen nodded, feeling better, and said, "The Ministry of Revenue has reported these things, but it's better to listen to you to details. It's great. I didn't believe you wrongly."

Liu Sichun smiled and said, "I just want to give you the blessing of your highness."

Li Chen glanced at Liu Sichun. Her healthy cheeks were rosy, especially a spirit from the inside out, which made people unforgettable and impressive.

"Even you have learned to flatter and flatter."

After saying something casually, Li Chen said again: "What about the general market conditions of prices?"

Liu Sichun replied without thinking: "Price prices soar, people are living in poverty."

These eight words made Li Chen’s smile solidify, and the following sentence made Zheng Baorong’s face turn green.

"Especially in the Gyeonggi area, prices change twice a day, and it is extremely miserable."

Li Chen glanced at Zheng Baorong indifferently. Before he could speak, a noise suddenly sounded at the door of the rice shop that was already visible in front of him.

"A pound of rice was only 7 cents in the morning, so why did you need eight cents in the afternoon? Where can you do this business in your rice industry??"

The person who said this was an ordinary woman. She was holding a bamboo basket, her eyes were red and cursing.

The rice shop guy stood at the door and sneered: "Who doesn't know that the rice price is rising sharply now? If you don't buy things in the morning, it's the current price in the afternoon. Do you want it? If you can't afford it, get out. If you can't afford it, what big deal can you pretend to be poor? If you can't afford it, go dig wild vegetables for you to give it to you!"

The woman was so angry that she trembled all over, and most of the people around her were scolding Mi Xing for being invincible. Obviously, they were all the victims.

Li Chen turned his head and walked directly over Zheng Baorong and asked Liu Sichun: "How much is the average rice price?"

Liu Sichun immediately replied: "Before the natural disaster, the normal market conditions were about one tael of silver to buy two stones of rice. If it were the Chen rice last year, it would be more than five hundred kilograms. During the natural disaster, it rose to one tael of silver and half a stone of rice. It gradually stabilized at the beginning of this year, about one tael of silver and one and a half stone."

In the Qin Empire, silver was legal currency.

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand coins.

An average family's annual income is about five taels of silver.

And one stone is almost less than two hundred pounds.

This price is relatively normal.

But now a pound of rice has increased to eight cents of copper coins, which means that the rice price has increased by more than 60%.

Li Chen glanced Zheng Baorong indifferently, and ignored him with a bitter face. He started to pass through the crowd and asked the mate: "This guy, there is always a rule in the market. It is normal for the price to fluctuate with the market fluctuation, but the price rose again in the afternoon. Isn't this reasonable?"

The guy looked at Li Chen and saw that Li Chen was dressed in a good manner. The few people following him were also women with fairy-like appearances, and men had extraordinary temperaments. So although he was impatient, he still said: "The market is not like our family. The entire Gyeonggi area is the same. It is reasonable or not. It is useless to tell me a friend. If you have the ability to tell our shopkeeper."
