Everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Li Chengqian and Du Gou, who had arrived a long time ago but were blocked by the crowd, were dumbfounded.
They had always thought that Zhang Feng was a prodigal son.
That was 20,000 dans of grain!
How could he take it out for no reason?
And give it to the crowd like this?
They also knew that Zhang Feng wasn't that kind of rich person, but this kid was stubborn and refused to say it. This made them puzzled, but they also knew that Zhang Feng was doing this to solve this disaster, so they didn't ask.
But now?
They could not help but stretch their necks and listen.
Zhang Feng looked at the old scholar and said, "My Xiao Mountain is 50,000 mu of barren land! Old Scholar, do you know what this means? How much time and how many people will it take to flatten it? "
"That's why I came up with this idea. As long as it's a commoner, even if it's a poor commoner, if they want to buy food, every household has to show a certificate issued by the government. Then, every household can only buy one catty of food a day! And the price is five copper coins. I'm not going overboard, right? "
"This …"
The old scholar was dumbfounded.
All the people in Tonghui Square who were blocking the entrance were in an uproar.
"What?"
"Five copper coins?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just the grain in Chang 'an's treasury costs six copper coins! Feng Zi, are you sure you're not joking? "
"Feng Zi, you can't do this! I know you're a good person, but you can't be a good person! If you do this, won't you lose money? "
"No, Lao Tzu can't eat this grain! Even if Lao Tzu starves to death, he won't go back to buy a grain from you! "
"I won't buy it either!"
"Lao Tzu has betrayed his conscience!"
Some of the women were even crying.
"Touch your consciences and think about it. Has Feng Zi ever mistreated any of you? If you haven't finished eating, he will give you basins of meat! Not only is he opening a school, but he is also giving out porridge. Why is he doing this? "
"If you have a bit of conscience, can you eat it?"
"Brother Madman, I … I don't want your pinball machine anymore … I … My mother told me not to go to the academy, I …"
Zhu Zi wiped off the snot on his nose and carefully placed the almost broken pinball machine on the table. Then, he took out some money from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"This is what Brother Frenzie gave me before, and this is what I won from the pinball machine. I … don't want it anymore!"
The old scholar's eyes were moist.
Li Chengqian and Du Gou's eyes were moist. Even the eyes of all the people in Hui Tong Square were moist.
Zhang Feng took a deep breath and tightly gripped the money on the pillar. He said, "Would you believe me if I told you that not only did I not suffer a loss, but I also made a big profit?"
Silence.
No one said anything.
After all, none of them were fools.
They were able to see that. Not making a loss?
Who would believe that?!
Zhang Feng asked the old scholar to sit down.
He asked everyone to sit down, but they stubbornly refused. Zhang Feng said leisurely, "Actually, when the locusts appeared, I noticed that something was wrong, so I started to buy food at that time. At that time, because of the locust plague, a barbarian merchant had a large amount of food in his hands, and he was in a hurry to return to the Western Region, so he couldn't take it with him, so he sold it."
"You all know about this, right? At the entrance of our market, the one who often sells fur, he was in a hurry! You all know that I'm a soft-hearted person, so I bought the twenty thousand dans of food at a price 30% lower than the market price! "
Zhang Feng explained. He almost took out the contract he signed with the Beard, as well as the note issued by the government.
However, when he said that, everyone calmed down a little.
"However, Feng Zi, now everyone knows that the price of food is skyrocketing. Don't talk about five copper coins, you can sell it for six or seven copper coins, right? Why are you selling it for five copper coins? "
Zhang Feng spread his hands.
"Although the people in Chang 'an City and some people outside the city have sold their food to me, and you all have some money left, you should know that my academy is in Xiao Mountain, and I'm facing those people who are eager to see their food rotting in the field. How can they have money?"
"I think they don't even have five copper coins. If I had said that I would give them food directly, not to mention you, do you think that I, Zhang Feng, am a fool?"
Zhang Feng pointed to his head as he spoke.
This time, everyone finally felt relieved and laughed out loud.
Zhang Feng breathed a deep sigh of relief.
It could be said that everything had been dealt with.
But Uncle He was not satisfied.
"Feng Zi, didn't you just say that you would give food and porridge? What are these?"
"You can't stop producing twenty thousand dans of food! If this matter were to spread, not to mention your twenty thousand dans of grain, even a hundred thousand dans of grain would be eaten by you within three days! "
