Dong Hu's eldest son Dong Ning, second son Dong Jing, and eldest daughter Dong Ying are a little older, and the rest are too young and need to take care of them for twelve hours a day. The nurse and servants are basically never in contact with outsiders. Even if Da Ya enters and leaves the yard, she needs to take a shower and change clothes. If an epidemic occurs, even if she takes a shower and change clothes, she is not allowed to enter the isolated yard.

The child is too young and has poor immunity. Once he gets sick, the premature death rate is as high as more than 50%. As he gets older and becomes stronger, he can hold on for more time even if he gets sick. This is the key to survival.

Dong Hu has no brothers and his family is not prosperous. Da Ya pays special attention to the health of the children. Including his daughter-in-law Dong Bai, all the children are wrapped tightly, with thermal underwear inside, cotton coats and trousers outside, small locomotive leather hats and warm leather boots on their heads, and warm protection on their hands and faces, which can be said to be a comprehensive protection.

A son's words made Da Ya decide not to go to the yamen today and prepare to play with the children for a day. After the news came to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Dong Chong slapped his thighs. Everyone was on vacation and went home to lift his wife and children out, and prepared to go to Shanglinyuan to play and hunt together.

The wife brought her daughter-in-law and the children were with her. Two thousand cavalry accompanied her to protect her. But before they left Luoyang City, a group of people came towards her that were displeasing. Not Niu Fu, who was Li Jue?

After finally having a tour, Niu Fu and Li Jue came to disappoint him. After both sides saw the gift, Dong Chong was a little displeased and spoke.

"Aren't you going to enter Jizhou? Why do you still have time to come to Luoyang?"

Niu Fu knew that a group of bastards had always been at odds with them, and was not ready to pay attention to Dong Chong. He first lifted the curtain before the carriage and looked at the children inside. Seeing Dong Bai sitting inside, he asked casually, he asked intimately, but he was just cold nonsense. After putting down the curtain, he kicked the horse and followed Da Ya's side. Dong Chong, Dong Fu and others looked displeased.

"Daya, what is the current price of grain in Chang'an?"

Niu Fu suddenly asked, and Da Ya couldn't help but look at him, then turned to Chang'an, and then sighed softly after counting breaths.

"San Ya wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that the price of grain in Chang'an has completely lost control, and only 2,500 coins can be used to buy one stone of grain. If it is a small amount, 25,000 coins will be required. The price of grain in Chang'an has been rising again and again. Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Hanzhong County, Hedong County... including Henan Yin and Hongnong County also rose, and the price of grain in Luoyang has risen by 1,000 coins per stone..."

"What?"

Niu Fu was stunned for a moment, and looked puzzled again.

"Isn't the price of grain in Luoyang 600 coins per stone? It's only been a few days, how could it have risen so much?"

After hearing this, Dong Chong was displeased and kicked the horse closer.

"Why is it impossible? The grain prices in Chang'an are so high, others will definitely go to nearby Hedong, Hongnong County, and Yin of Henan. The grain on the market is bought by Chang'an. If the people lose their food, the price will naturally rise!"

"snort!"

Hearing Dong Chong snorted coldly, Li Jue, who was following Niu Fu's side, had a cold face and displeased.

"Who are you scaring? Which store on the market is not yours? Isn't it yours the final price?"

Dong Chong was furious and pointed at Li Jue and was about to curse. Da Ya shook her head at him.

"The children are still here, don't let the children learn from your irritability."

Dong Chong opened his mouth and lowered his head and said, "No."

Dong Hu has been an elder brother since he was a child. Even Dong Chi, Dong Hou and Da Ya are older than him, so he must keep talking about his elder brother. He was more harsh when he was beaten when he was a child. He would beat him first and then behave him after he was beaten. However, he rarely yelled irritably.

If Dong Hu is the head of the family, the Yan father and brother Yan, Da Ya is the mother of the family, and has always played the role of a loving mother who comforts his younger brother and sister.

Apart from Dong Hu, there are only Da Ya, Er Ya and San Ya, and outsiders Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu are even more impossible.

No matter when the orphans are a very special group, and the only one brother and sister who grow up together is able to fully trust them. When Da Ya spoke, Dong Chong also lowered his head and took a step back.

Daya glanced at Li Jue and sighed to Niu Fu: "What Li Jue said is right is not right. The shops on the market are indeed my husband's... At least most of them are, and the price of grain is indeed what Daya said, but this is not right."

Niu Fu and Li Jue both frowned and puzzled...

"In the peaceful season, a stone of grain is only 300 coins, and the current price of grain in Chang'an has risen nearly ten times. My husband said that when there is 50% profit, someone will take risks; when there is 10% profit, someone will trample on all laws; when there is 3 times profit, even if the whole family dies."

"And now, it's ten times the profit!"

Da Ya glanced at Li Jue again.

"Three times the profit is already desperate, let alone ten times the profit? If we don't raise the price, in Chang'an... even my uncle will go to Liang and Hanzhong, Hedong, and Hongnong, and come to Henan Yin to buy grain and buy a lot of grain from the people. What will happen after that?"

"When the people lose their food, they will famine, and the prices of grain will really soar. The food sold to their uncle may be five hundred yuan. After the famine comes, it is impossible to buy a thousand yuan, but what? Now we sell a thousand yuan now. If the people want to sell food, they will also ask for a thousand yuan, but who has copper coins?"

Da Ya smiled.

"When you moved the capital, you had already snatched all the copper coins. The people didn't have a thousand dollars to buy grain. If the food could not be sold, they would still be stored at home. Even if there were droughts, insect disasters, and wars next year, the people would not have famine."

After hearing what he said, Niu Fu and Li Jue were very angry.

"Da Ya said that it was originally only five or six hundred yuan per stone of grain, but if you didn't sell it, you would have to list it for 1,000 yuan. Just to avoid selling it to Chang'an grain, you would starve countless people in Chang'an to death?"

After hearing Li Jue's words, the generals all glared at each other, but Da Ya looked at Niu Fu a little solemnly.

"Is there really a shortage of grain in Guanzhong? How much is the granary in Niu Fu? How much is the granary in your home? How much is the uncle's granary? The third uncle cracked down on the garrison and was reluctant to sell grain. The confiscated grain alone exceeded four million stones, and the grain invested in Guanzhong from Hedong alone exceeded two million stones. With so much grain, can't the price of grain be saved?"

"It's not that the grain price cannot be suppressed. My husband advised my uncle to strictly investigate the garrison and reluctant to sell food, but hoped to increase the grain on the market. But all of these grains were stored in the warehouse by my third uncle and were not sold to the people. The grain price will naturally rise again. This has nothing to do with whether we sell it at a low price or not to you!"

Niu Fu and Li Ju stared at each other. They didn't know how many families Dong Min had searched and how much food they had obtained, but they didn't dare to say more after hearing the "four million stones".

Daya said again: "Even if Daa doesn't say it, you should know that Luoyang is the frontier of the battlefield. Just like what you do in Hanoi County, there will definitely be countless hungry people next year. Do we have to watch people starve to death? Do we need to provide porridge and relief? Will three or two thousand people need relief? Will it be relief for one or two days?"

Niu Fu opened his mouth repeatedly and smiled bitterly, "It's not that we think... Forget it, I'll stop talking about this. We came here this time to transport grain. My father-in-law has agreed. Five draws and one. You can help transport five stones of grain, and one stone of grain is used as the shipping fee."

After hearing this, Dong Chong couldn't help it and said angrily: "Niu Fu, look up at this day by yourself! It takes at least two months to transport grain from Luoyang to Chang'an. One round trip will take at least one month. One million stones of grain will be transported by 100,000 people! The food for the food for the people alone will be 200,000 people! What about the food required for the animals that drag the grain? Do you want the cattle and horses to drink the northwest wind?"

Niu Fu immediately had a headache. It was not difficult to transport materials, but the difficulty lies in the consumption of the road. From Luoyang to Chang'an, there are several roads that are the most difficult to walk. The narrow roads are only allowed to pass by a carriage, and they also have to climb hills from time to time. Now it is another foot of snow, which has increased the difficulty of transporting grain again.

A carriage drags ten stones of grain (600 kilograms). If you use donkeys, mules, ox and horses, you only need one person to drive the car. But if there are no animals, you need three people, one person is pulling in front and two people are pushing, and all the millions of stones of grain are dragged by animals, you need one hundred thousand people. If there are no animals, you need three hundred thousand people. The food for two months of back and forth will require six hundred thousand stones. If a million stones are transported, six hundred thousand stones will be consumed by the civilians.

If anyone stayed in Luoyang was not Dongbuyi, it would take 600,000 stones to stay in Luoyang. It was because when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Luoyang's animals were basically brought to Chang'an, and the existing donkeys, mules, oxes and horses in Luoyang were basically equipped by Dongbuyi's military.

When he was with Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu kept supervising money, grain and supplies, and naturally knew the truth and falsehood of Daya's words.

Frown for a moment...

"Daya, we don't want to go around you, so let's just say it. You have made countless money in Hanoi County, and your father-in-law didn't say anything. The brothers in the army also turned a blind eye to this. You can't still care about that little food, right?"

"hehe……"

"Niu Fu, you said it wrong. You are the ones who really made money. Not only did Da Ya make nothing, but she also lost more than 50,000 million yuan."

Da Ya looked at Niu Fu in a daze and smiled and said, "A large family courtyard costs five thousand yuan. After buying the courtyard, will Da Ya live in it? Sell it to whom? If you want the courtyard, just grab one; if you sell it to the people who are cleaner in their pockets, who can buy a house? If you buy the house, you will not be left there and moldy, and there is no value at all."

"If a house has no value, does the land deed have much value?"

“Is the clothes of dead people valuable?”

"You must think we bought some food at a low price, but do you Niu Fu really think that food is valuable?"

The big girl turned her head and stared at her son with her little head stretched out. She spoke coldly again until her son was afraid to retreat into the carriage.

"Niu Fu, you should understand one thing. Hanoi is now abolished. You have robbed it and the people have lost any money. No matter how Da Ya sells it at a low price, no one will buy it. Hanoi people have no money to buy it!"

"As for why our Luoyang General Mansion costs so much, it is because Da Ya doesn't want to see countless people starving to death and freeze to death!"
