Of course, there is another idea for storing grain, which is that if the locust plague is really big, they can still turn their backs on this grain.

Those who have the ability to store grain will naturally be a noble family.

While they went to a place where there was no leak, they purchased low-priced grain in Beijing, and they also sold high-priced grain in Beijing without any loss. Aren’t these officials behind these aristocratic families?

Zhou Jin had a headache this time, and Yun Bingjun was also very headache.

Even if the locust plague is solved by then, the food price will not be restored for a while. When it is restored, everyone will be poor and these aristocratic families will become rich.

"I still underestimated the joint efforts between these aristocratic families and officials. The news of the locust plague that day was revealed by them. I thought there was no movement, but they secretly went to buy food."

Zhou Jin said angrily: "At present, people's families should be able to last for a while. After a while, if every household can eat cheap food, the only way is to open some granaries. However, this may only be a vicious cycle. After all, the granaries cannot be fully opened, and no one can predict what will happen in the end. At that time, these families will still be the winners, and those officials will be the winners."

This is the first time Tang Guo has seen Zhou Jin look so angry. He usually smiles in front of him and looks shameless.

She put her hand on Zhou Jin's shoulder: "When you encounter such a big difficulty, why don't you ask me for help?"

"Guo'er, you're afraid you can't help me in this matter." Zhou Jin quickly held Tang Guo's hand with both hands, "I know you want to help me. You can come up with a recipe for eliminating locust plagues, which has helped me a lot, but this is food, which thousands of people need. And the big head of these foods is controlled by the aristocratic families. The granary is absolutely impossible to open all of them."

Tang Guo really couldn't help him with so much food, although he was still very moved.

"Who said that food is controlled by the aristocratic family?" Tang Guo asked, "A Jin, you emperor, remember to update the news at any time. Being so backward, beware that the seat under your butt will be unstable one day."

Zhou Jin was a little confused. What does Guoer mean?

"The big head of the grain is actually in my hands." Tang Guo stopped him, "You just need to speak. When the people are out of food, affordable grain will appear in various places immediately."

She has been in this world for many years. Most of the profits of Yanjing each year have been used to purchase grain. Dalan Country has a fertile land and the grain harvest is very good. Almost every household has a lot of surplus grain.

She asked someone to buy anything that could be bought.

Because in the memory she gained, she knew that such a thing would happen after the locust plague, and countless people really starved to death.

Especially when the locust plague spread to that area, countless people were so hungry that they could only die of earth.

It’s not that there is no grain, but that these aristocratic families are not philanthropists. They will only increase prices at this time, making food more expensive than gold. How many families can eat it?

"Really?" Zhou Jin was shocked.

Ling Yu, who was standing by, couldn't help but interrupt: "Your Majesty, it's true. The Empress has been purchasing food for many years. I guess it was the Empress who predicted that it was the Empress who was not sure, so she was prepared."
