After Qian Qiang's explanation, Yang Rui's face slowly looked better. It seemed that Qian Qiang was also thinking from the perspective of the village, and his analysis was not unreasonable. If it was in normal times, the trend of food prices might be similar to Qian Qiang's speculation.
However, this was a chaotic time, and it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty! Qian Qiang's analysis was naturally limited, which led him to not be completely free to stockpile food according to Yang Rui's intention.
"Well, it seems that I have wronged you. You are quite thoughtful!"
Yang Rui patted Qian Qiang's shoulder to show his concern for him. "However, we are in a chaotic time, and we can't completely look at the problem according to common sense! How about this, I will give you 10000 copper per day to buy food in the market according to the price from low to high, until 10000 copper is used up! "
"Yes! Lord! " Qian Qiang saw that Yang Rui was very open-minded and forgave him. He naturally didn't care about what Yang Rui ordered, and naturally, he quickly agreed.
However, after agreeing, Qian Qiang slowly recalled Yang Rui's words, and only then did he feel that the funds to buy food in the market every day were a bit too high!
10000 copper? What does that mean? The daily income of the villagers was probably tens of thousands of copper coins. Yet, they had spent 10000 copper coins just to purchase food? The mountain village didn't lack food! I don't know what the lord is thinking …
Also, Qian Qiang didn't understand why Yang Rui would think that they were in a chaotic time. Although the current Han Dynasty wasn't very prosperous, and there were occasional chaos, the foundation hadn't been shaken. Why did it feel like they were not in a chaotic time?
Although he had some doubts, Qian Qiang just made some mistakes, and he didn't want to take the risk to ask Yang Rui. Moreover, Yang Rui, as the lord, had always governed the territory in an orderly manner. Qian Qiang felt that since the lord gave such an order, there must be a reason for it!
"Of course, 10000 copper coins per day is just a reference. If the price of food drops in the market, or if there are many odd numbers of suitable prices, you can use your discretion to buy the goods. Under special circumstances, you can report to me and then deal with it."
Yang Rui was afraid that Qian Qiang wouldn't be able to let go of his hands and feet, so he gave him a final warning before letting him leave. With Yang Rui's explanation, Qian Qiang should pay special attention to the food market for a period of time in the future.
Although the current price of food had already reached 5 coppers per unit, Yang Rui clearly remembered that in his previous life, when he had just entered the game, the price of food had already reached 60 to 70 coppers per unit. That was more than ten times the current price of food!
In his previous life, Yang Rui had entered the game half a year after the game's server had been launched, which was one or two months after the system update. Therefore, Yang Rui was very certain of the trend of food prices. Therefore, he insisted that Qian Qiang go to the market to purchase and store a large amount of food!
If it wasn't for the fact that the mountain village was a little tight on funds, Yang Rui might have increased the amount of food he purchased!
At noon the next day, Yang Rui had just finished his lunch and went online when Wang Hai rushed over.
"My lord, my lord, the first batch of wine is brewed!" Wang Hai held a large wine jar with both hands and shouted with a face full of joy, "And this is the first batch of wine to be brewed and it's already a specialty! Come, my lord, try a bowl. "
"Oh? Is that so? It's brewed so quickly! And it's even a specialty? That's great! "Yang Rui took the bowl that Wang Hai handed over and happily took a bowl of wine. He raised his head and drank it all!
After drinking a large bowl of wine, Yang Rui felt a ball of fire going down his neck and into his stomach. It was hot but very refreshing and sweet! And this feeling continued and changed until it turned into a kind of throbbing that didn't stop for a long time.
In the real world, Yang Rui didn't know much about wine. Although he drank a lot with his classmates when he was in school, he didn't know much about wine! However, when Yang Rui drank this bowl of wine brewed by the mountain village, he could clearly feel that this was a rare bowl of good wine!
In his previous life, Yang Rui had drunk wine once or twice in the game, but he wasn't so extravagant to the point of tasting specialty wines. The quality of those normal wines should be lower than A pint of incense and should be considered low-grade wines. The taste was naturally incomparable to the current specialty wines!
"Good wine! It's really a specialty wine! "
The aftertaste lingered and his chest was still throbbing. Yang Rui couldn't help but shout out loud. This was the first time he had some understanding of wine!
"It's all thanks to Initiative's support that I was able to brew such a good wine today! Let this old man toast to the lord! " Next, Wang Hai took the initiative to toast. Under Yang Rui's suggestion, all the important people in charge of the mountain village, as well as Mo Qing and Mo Lin, were called to the mountain village's meeting room. Half of the wine was taken out and everyone drank to their heart's content.
After everyone drank one or two bowls, they left reluctantly. The first batch of wine was only 100 pounds. Half of it was reserved by Yang Rui to prepare for two matters in the county town. Naturally, everyone didn't drink enough. Most of them looked like they were savoring the aftertaste …
Yang Rui directly rushed to the county town and brought the specialty wine to A pint of incense to stay. This time, along with Yang Rui, Mo Lin and the yellow-turbaned old Taoist that Mo Lin had escorted over were also present.
This yellow-turbaned old Taoist was really difficult to deal with. Ever since Yang Rui had captured him, he had only obtained one or two talismans and ten to twenty gold ingots from him. That was all! Therefore, Yang Rui could only bring him to the county town and prepare to hand him over to Liu County Lieutenant in exchange for some substantial rewards.
The old Taoist with the yellow turban remained silent all the way until they entered the county and Yang Rui took him straight to the county magistrate's mansion. Seeing that he could not escape the blame, the old Taoist suddenly gave in! This caused Yang Rui and the rest to change their route and stay at A pint of incense first.
"Little brother, this old Taoist really admires you. I didn't expect you to be so cruel. I gave you all the valuable things I had, but in the end, you still didn't let me go … sigh …" The yellow-turbaned old Taoist complained with a face full of grievances.
"Don't talk nonsense! If you didn't say on the way that you wanted to give me a task, and that the rewards from the task would definitely be better than handing you over to the county town, would you still be standing here now? I guess you would have been beaten half to death in the county town's prison by now! "
Yang Rui squinted at the yellow-turbaned old Taoist and continued, "Don't you know what to do now? Before I change my mind, you'd better tell me the truth! "
"Yes, yes! I'll give you the task right away, right away … "The yellow-turbaned old Taoist repeatedly promised and didn't dare to challenge Yang Rui's patience anymore.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Yang Rui's ears:
