    Previous chapter: Chapter 49 Pioneer (Part 1) Next chapter: Chapter 51 Pioneer (Part 2) At the turn of the year, more than one caravan went north against the cold wind.  <strong>Read the full text of the latest chapter hua</strong>Visit:.  At the turn of the year, Chang Fugui was not the only member of the Huaxia Fuxing Society who infiltrated the caravan into the tiger's den.  They are all young, and most of them can write and do calculations. Even if they do not take any risks, they can live a very prosperous life.  However, at least at this moment, he did not go but no one calculated his own personal life and death honor and disgrace.  They spread like seeds to Jeju, Gaotang, Qingzhou, Dadu, and even as far away as Kaiping and Yingchang.  They silently took root in various places, sprouted and grew silently, until one day, they bloomed into bright flowers with their lives.  According to later statistics from the Huaxia Fuxing Society, more than 1,100 members of the Fuxing Society died at the hands of the Mongolian and Yuan armies and the powerful gentry before and after the Northern Expedition and during the period of local stabilization.  At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the entire Fuxing Society only had 3,000 members.  A huge sacrifice also means a huge gain.  ¡°In just a few days from the end of the twelfth lunar month to the tenth day of the first lunar month, rice prices in cities north of the Yellow River rocketed by 30%.  Different from the natural fluctuations in the price of rice and noodles during the Chinese New Year in the past, this time the price of rice and noodles fluctuated without any sign of falling back once it jumped up.  The market just started on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the numbers on the water tags in various grain stores frightened people who came to buy rice.  Brown rice went from two hundred and twenty Huai coins at the end of the twelfth lunar month to three hundred coins.  And the price of one stone of white noodles is as high as five hundred.  This is still the standard Huaxia Tongbao discount. If you use Zhiyuan copper coins, it will be doubled.  "Shopkeeper Sun, you must be very evil-minded. If you dare to raise prices like this in the first month of the year, aren't you afraid that the Stove Lord will see it and be punished by God?!" Immediately, some people began to curse, with unconcealable grief and indignation in their voices.  (hua advertisement) It is common sense that businesses will make more money during the holidays, and everyone can tolerate it.  But the year has passed, and the price is still high, which is deliberately cheating people.  You know, for almost the entire year last year, the price of rice hovered around 150 Wenhuai Qian per stone. Many city people were used to it, and they didn't even think about hoarding next year's rations at the beginning of autumn.  And Mipu waited until the new year was over and continued to double the price of rice, which was equivalent to robbing everyone's pockets of money.  Whose money is earned by sweatdrops falling to the ground and smashing into pieces, how can they withstand this kind of unconscionable robbery?  "That's right, Shopkeeper Sun. It snowed so much last year, but it doesn't look like there's going to be a famine? Your boss just did this during the Chinese New Year. What's the point?!" "Shopkeeper Sun, two hundred and twenty at the end of the year.  , We also admit it. After all, it¡¯s the end of the year, and you and the guys have worked hard. But the year is over, so you, boss, have to do a good job and let us have a good meal, right?¡±  They all spoke.  Moved with emotion and reason, he advised shopkeeper Sun not to do such immoral things that would choke people's necks!  Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Sun not only refused to listen to the advice, but immediately slapped his thigh and screamed.  "Oh, I say, young and old, dear neighbors, you all say that I am wicked, so am I willing to be poked in the spine? I don't even look up to see my old neighbors. What am I going to do to trick you? Really, really.  There's nothing we can do about it. There hasn't been much rice coming from the south all winter. Now that spring has begun, it's said that the Huai bandits will go north again. Who knows when peace will return.  There is only so much rice in the store, and one bushel is sold for one bushel. How dare you sell it so cheaply? " "Is there really going to be a war?" "Yes, Uncle Sun, you have old news?  "Lingtong, do you really want to fight?" "Oh, this is terrible! Master Sun, why didn't you tell everyone earlier?" After hearing this, everyone immediately stopped to accuse Shopkeeper Sun of being unethical.  Face to face to find out.  "I just know it, young and old gentlemen!" Shopkeeper Sun said with a grimace, and he repeatedly handed over to everyone, "If I had known the news earlier, I wouldn't have quickly persuaded my boss to stock up on tens of thousands of shi of grain. Not to mention selling, that's all.  It feels so safe to sit in the warehouse! But like everyone else, I just do a small business to support my family. Who will tell me if something big happens?" "Oh!"  "Oh! What bad luck!" "Isn't it? It's only been a few days of rest?!"  Sighs came and went.  Whether it is a change of dynasty or a change of generation, these are the affairs of heroes.  Who can the common people stop?  Who cared that their families were destroyed by the war?  After sighing, everyone looked at each other and took out the largest number they could use in their pockets.?Buying rice with the boy.  If a fight really breaks out, rice prices will definitely continue to rise.  If you buy more today, you will save hundreds of copper coins in the future.  Although the difference is only a few hundred coins, dozens of buckets, or three liang of stone, it often means that whether you can survive the war or starve to death!  Some people were unwilling to give in. While watching the guys put rice into their food bags, they asked tentatively: "Uncle Sun, Master Sun, didn't you say that the Huaiyang people governed the country by business and were greedy for profits? In the past few wars,  They didn't get stuck in the canal. "The problem is that this time is different from the past. In the past, the court could still have the upper hand. They only wanted to protect themselves, but they didn't dare to do anything.  This time, the court Oh, don't say it anymore! It's a disaster if you say too much!" Shopkeeper Sun looked around warily and closed his mouth again.  The imperial court is in ruins, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.  Although the turmoil last autumn had little impact on the people, ordinary people know that only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper.  Both the father and the son have taken action. How can this family be invincible?  "The key is, even if the Huai'an army doesn't block the canal, we don't dare to do business on the river anymore!" There are some things that shopkeeper Sun doesn't dare to say, but among the customers who come to buy rice, there are some who are bold and point it out right away.  A fact.  "Think about it, the emperor can't even control his own wife and children, how can he control the arrogant soldiers below? You came here from the south to transport rice, you wanted to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and you accumulated great virtue from the Buddha.  . But the official looked at it and said, "Oh, there is so much rice. I happen to be short of military rations." He flashed his knife and asked you to put down the grain boat and leave. If you encounter the evil person, he will find a crime against you.  Take them away with you and the boat. Do you still expect your wife and children to go to Dadu and ask the emperor to come forward to seek justice for you? "Alas!" Everyone heard this and shouted in unison again.  sigh.  Everyone knows the virtues of the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty.  Every time they passed through the canal, the banks were as clean as if they had passed through locusts.  And after that, no one, not the local officials nor the emperor in the capital city, would come forward to recover the losses for the sufferer.  This time the Huai'an army invaded the north, and the officers and soldiers had to go up the canal again.  When the fleet transporting grain encountered officers and soldiers, wouldn't it be like beating a dog with a 'meat' bun?
