If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!

Deng Feng has been hit in the past few days, and now someone suddenly extends an olive branch to buy the rice contract in his hand, which does not make him determined to sell it.

On the contrary, he, who is quite experienced, has guessed some situations.

"Shopkeeper Wang, sorry, I'm worried, I'm in a hurry. I'll go out and talk to you in detail later."

After making an excuse, Deng Feng hurriedly left the contract trading shop.

He came to the entrance of the Datang Trading Center, bought a copy of all the newspapers for sale today, and then quickly browsed them.

"It's strange, no news will have a significant impact on the price changes of the rice contract! If you really want to say the impact, the Meteorological Research Institute is preparing to launch artificial rainfall in Lantian County tomorrow, which will have a certain impact on the price of the rice contract."

Deng Feng put down the newspaper in his hand while talking to himself.

However, he did not give up.

Soon, he found the Yashang in the trading center and asked them about various news about Chang'an City and even Guanzhong in the past two days.

Thanks to the increase in the influence of the trading center, many foreign merchants come here to buy and sell goods every day.

In order to avoid being deceived or not being able to buy cheap goods, these merchants often urgently want to hire someone familiar with the various goods and shops in the trading center to serve as a guide for themselves.

And there will be a market if there is demand.

Soon, several special dentistry companies were born in the Datang Trading Center.

What these dentists do is mainly collect and sell information, and they earn information costs.

The things in the Datang Trading Center are familiar with each tooth shop, and their respective advantages are just about half a pound.

In order to highlight their own characteristics, some dentists also consciously began to collect outside news, especially news related to the products in the contract trading shop.

For example, where the iron smelting shops have increased their production this month, where the sugarcane planting area has expanded, and which cotton has suffered from large-scale pests...

Such all kinds of news are, the more unique the news, it can often be sold at very different prices.

Deng Feng is now in one of the well-known teeth shops.

Just straightforwardly asked about the information related to the rice contract price.

"Has Jiangnan Road and Huainan Road still not affected by the drought?"

"No, contrary to Guanzhong area, Jiangnan Road has good weather this year, and the rice yield will not be lower than last year."

"Is there any rumor that the artificial rainfall experiment at the Meteorological Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy cannot be carried out in various counties in Guanzhong?"

"We only heard that the people from the Meteorological Institute are now in Lantian County and will try artificial rain tomorrow. I have not heard of any other news. But if you are interested, we can arrange for people to follow us, but the price will be a little more expensive."

"The price is easy to say. If there is any news about the disaster in the area, please be sure to tell me as soon as possible. Shop No. 43 of the trading center is my property, and you can tell the shopkeeper directly."

"No problem, I will tell you the news for a while."

Deng Feng went to two or three Yakushu in a row, but he didn't ask for any news.

But his intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.

Fortunately, there is no airtight wall in the world. By noon, a businessman who came back from a nearby county brought back a major news.

A locust plague broke out in Guanzhong!

Deng Feng was shocked and immediately understood why Manager Wang was willing to raise the price to buy the rice contract in his hand.

The artificial rainfall at the Meteorological Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy is hard to say.

However, if the locust plague breaks out, according to past historical experience, it will definitely bring a devastating blow to food production.

The key is that once this thing breaks out, it will be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, and will become more and more serious.

Only when the climate becomes unsuitable for locust breeding will it be reduced slowly.

In this case, it is almost inevitable that the price of rice contracts will rise.

"Brother Deng, the price of the rice contract has risen by 10%!"

When Deng Feng returned to the contract trading shop, Guo Yang had not left yet.

Judging from the information on the trading plaque, the trading volume this morning was significantly higher than in the past.

"Brother Guo, the price of this rice contract will still rise. If someone pays it, I suggest you buy some too. I used up all the money that can be moved a few days ago, otherwise I would have to find a way to buy another few thousand guan today."

Guo Yang has an extraordinary relationship with him, so Deng Feng is still willing to share his views with him.

"Oh? Is it true that the rumor just now that a place outside has suffered a locust plague?

Guo Yang's expression suddenly became solemn.

It is really important to engage in contract transactions and make the news clear and accurate.

For example, if someone got the news in advance yesterday, then buying the rice contract at a low price, even if it was sold today, it would have a profit of more than a dozen points.

How easy is this money to earn?

However, if you mistakenly regard rumors as information and buy all of them into a contract, you may lose money directly to your doubts about your life.

Especially if your money is borrowed from the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House next to you, someone else's guy will monitor the price changes at any time. Once it drops to the cordon, he will ask you to repay the money in advance or sell the contract in your hand.

To be honest, this kind of gameplay similar to leverage has produced a group of rich people, but it has even made some adventurous players lose everything.

"Nine out of ten droughts are the difference between the locust plague. Brother Guo, although he has not received very accurate news yet, combined with the performance of Manager Wang in the morning and the enthusiasm of various noble buyers to complete transactions today, I have reason to believe that the news is true. What is uncertain now is how serious the locust plague is and what countermeasures the court has.

However, no matter what the situation is, the price of rice contracts in the next few days will definitely rise. As for whether it can continue to rise, it depends on the scale of the locust plague."

Deng Feng suddenly became confident in the rice contract in his hands.

Although there are still many uncertainties, he endured the losses a few days ago. Now, he can turn losses into profits by the latest tomorrow.

After the subsequent ups and downs, he can watch with a more normal attitude.

"Today there are few businesses willing to sell rice contracts. I guess I can't buy much rice contracts before the news is further verified. It's better to go and find out the situation of this news through various channels."

Guo Yang is more cautious in doing things.

If he pays a high price at this time, he will definitely be able to buy some rice contracts.

But the risks are not without them.

Who knows if it will be a flash in the pan and will continue to fall tomorrow?

This kind of fake shot has happened in the past.

"You can handle this, so let's take action separately. Let's meet again before dark tonight to exchange information, and then determine how to operate tomorrow."

Deng Feng was also unable to be sure of the current situation. After hearing Guo Yang's words, he did not hesitate and immediately suggested that everyone cooperate to confirm.

Whether it is true or false, as long as they confirm it earlier than most people, they can find opportunities to make money or reduce losses.

...

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you arrange a fleet to Jiangnan Road to transport grain immediately to ensure that the grain prices in Chang'an City are stable and the supply is sufficient."

In the Summer Palace, Fang Xuanling learned that there was a locust plague in Yongzhou Prefecture, and immediately put forward his own suggestions.

The locust plague has already occurred, how did it occur, why did it be discovered now, and how to eliminate it are all things that need to be considered later.

The first thing to bear is to transport grain to Chang'an City to ensure sufficient grain supply.

Fang Xuanling's reaction is still very good at grasping the key points.

"Xuanling is right. Although many granaries have been built in Guanzhong, even if there is a locust plague, there will be no food problems in a short period of time. But the people may not think so, and they will definitely hoard food desperately at that time. In this way, enough food may become insufficient."

Xiao Yu was an important official of the three dynasties and had experienced a lot of things.

At this time, he naturally realized the importance of food.

Just as he said, the current food in Chang'an City is not insufficient to eat.

However, once a locust plague occurs, the people think that there will be insufficient food, so no matter how much food reserves there are in Chang'an City, it will become insufficient.

Especially most people have some extra money at home, so they will definitely stock up on more food.

If food prices rise and food supply is insufficient for a short period of time, it will fall into a vicious cycle and will never end.

It would be better to transport grain to Chang'an City early from the beginning.

Anyway, the inventory in the granaries in various parts of the Tang Dynasty was still very sufficient.

"Okay! The Ministry of Revenue immediately arranged for people to transport grain in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Xiangzhou, and transport as much as they can. If the Ministry of Revenue's own ships are not enough, it can also collect ships from merchants. It is necessary to ensure the supply of various grain shops in Chang'an City, and the price of grain cannot soar."

Li Shimin knew very well that once the news of the locust plague spread, it would be impossible for food prices to rise.

As long as it does not surge and has a proper rise in a short period of time, the court can still accept it.

After all, the food price in the Tang Dynasty itself was not high.

Considering the income level of the people in Chang'an City, a certain increase in grain prices will not cause too much storm.

"After solving the initial problem of food supply, we also need to understand the specific situation of the locust plague. Is there only the reported locust plague in these counties and cities, and are there any other places? Are there any places that conceal or underreported?"

Cen Wenben also expressed his own opinions on the side.

"We must find out the real situation quickly so as not to be caught off guard. The Taishi Bureau clearly stated it well before, but there is only drought in the central region, and other places are still in good weather. However, according to the current situation, it may not be the case. Your Majesty, I suggest that the court arrange a group of inspectors to inspect the prefectures to avoid any accidents."

Changsun Wuji's words made Li Kuan, who had just arrived in the Summer Palace, feel very uncomfortable.
