The Waves of Wheats

On the ninth day.

The amount of food that Han Zezheng's snitch forces were releasing had already decreased greatly.

The grain transported in from the outside was also bought by the nobles, wealthy merchants, and wealthy citizens who waved their money bags. Even if the price was high, they were still enthusiastic. The grain market was booming, and transactions were happening all the time. The price of grain continued to rise, and it was changing at every moment.

Those who were still buying believed that the price of grain would continue to rise. Even though many of them had realized the huge abnormality, they firmly believed that there would be people who would bid more to take over the grain they had hoarded. They would wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and then sell it in two days.

In stark contrast to the prosperous grain trading market...

It was because most of the people could no longer afford to buy food.
