The news of Shengmi 60 Wen stunned all the grain merchants in the capital, who had ever seen such a playful person? They had just taken over and lost 20 Wen, how could they do such a deal?

"Shameless, it's shameless, let's unite to find Xiao Letian...... This matter can't be finished, we have to live too!" The grain merchants looked at the mountains of rice in the warehouse, and they were so angry that they were about to vomit blood.

However, when the big bosses who shouted at each other saw the cold light on the bayonets of the new army on the street, they were so frightened that they all shrank their necks and retreated.

"How many masters, then Xiao Letian is a god of killing, and he can't even afford to provoke the court, let's go back and beg the master's family!"

The main families in the mouths of the grain merchants were actually those high-ranking nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and these princes and princes not only consumed a large amount of salary every year, but also each family had countless land farms, and there were also big trades in the city.

It can be said that the monopoly business that basically makes money in Sijiu City has their shadow, why are the grain merchants not afraid of the imperial court and wantonly too high grain prices, the key is that there is the support of the master behind them.

But at this time, all the grain merchants were dumbfounded, the main family was helpless in the face of Xiao Letian, and there were more and more new troops gathered in the Beijing Division, and they didn't even dare to let go of a fart now.

"Grandma, the court is now thinking about spending money to send away this plague god, and you still want me to provoke Xiao Letian? Get out of the way, anyway, the loss will have to be borne by your shopkeeper when the time comes, who let you hoard Xiao Letian's food? You dare to touch his things?"

"It's all on Xiao Letian's head to take advantage, you don't want to die if you want money!"

Yes, Xiao Letian's cheapness can not be taken advantage of by ordinary people, the price of 60 Wen a liter of rice is not the bottom line at all, with the new overseas rice shipped to Beijing the next day, the price of rice instantly avalanche to 50 Wen, and it has reached the price code before the palace change.

As the news of Jingshi's suppression of rice prices spread to the four directions, those people in Jingshi who fled began to return to Sijiu City, and they didn't even use it for two days, and the prosperity of Jingshi was restored by Xiao Letian.

The streets were full of people, shops began to resume business, the price of rice was stable, and the people began to make large purchases after the disaster, and business prospered instantly.

50, 45, 43, 41...... Three days later, the price of rice in Jingshi miraculously stabilized at the 40 Wen mark, and the entire imperial court was dumbfounded.

"The prosperous era of Qianlong is here again? How can the price of this rice return to the price of the Qianlong period? So Xiao Letian is really the God of Wealth?" If all the officials are mourned and approved, Xiao Letian's methods can only prove that they are all a bunch of incompetent waste.

This is the relationship of vision, and the big businessmen who look all over the world have such courage. The rice in Nanyang is ripe three times a year, and the price is unimaginably cheap, although the taste is a little worse, but who cares about the poor?

Some people may think that the cost of tens of millions of miles of traffic must be very high, but in fact it is not, water transportation has been cheaper and more efficient than land transportation since ancient times, which is why China will dig the Grand Canal.

The efficiency of sea transportation is higher than that of river transportation, the tonnage of sea ships was already very large in the middle of the nineteenth century, sea ships carrying more than 100,000 tons of sea ships have become very popular, and the safety of sea transportation is far greater than before.

This is a force that the Manchus could not imagine at all, countless Chinese goods were taken out of the country by sea ships, in exchange for boats and boatloads of grain, Xiao Lotian wanted to use the lowest cost to break the price of grain in Gyeonggi, and he didn't care whether those grain merchants would go bankrupt or not.

Anyway, Xiao Lotian didn't want to stay in the capital forever, he was destined to leave here with his troops, he just wanted to leave an unforgettable impression on the people of Gyeonggi, and the proverb that followed the prime minister to eat was destined to be passed down for thousands of years.

Xiao Letian knew very well that with the Manchu Qing Dynasty's hand, as long as he withdrew from the capital, the price of grain would not be able to maintain such a low level at all, and the price of 40 wen a liter of rice would be waiting to double and rise.

There are also those grain merchants raised by the princes and nobles, and they will definitely have to make up for the losses after sending Xiao Lotian away, and then the trend of fried rice will rise again, and it is not enough for the people to spit back all the benefits they have enjoyed in the past few months.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. Whether Xiao Lotian is good or not depends on comparison to get the result, the incompetence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the love of the people like a son of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng in the East China Sea, it is impossible for the people not to see it. Under the advantages of one another, the people will naturally make the right choice.

Facts have proved Xiao Letian's judgment, when the East China Sea Prime Minister Xiao Cheng evacuated Beijing only four months ago, the Beijing division began to cause a food shortage, without the support of overseas grain, it was simply impossible to maintain the land price of 40 wen a liter of rice, in just one month the price of rice in Beijing rose to 95 wen a liter, and the people were miserable.

No one wants to listen to the explanation of the imperial court, and the grass people do not consider the difference between overseas rice and Daqing rice, people only have a simple truth, follow the prime minister to eat, and follow the court to be hungry.

This is Xiao Letian's lore of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is more effective than the people's back, after the overseas rice incident, the prestige of the Manchu court was completely smashed to the bottom.

Food is just one of Xiao Letian's weapons to fight for people's hearts, three days later, in a place called Goldfish Pond in the south of Beijing, Xiao Lotian suddenly appeared in front of the people with his own soldiers, and the people who were deeply favored by 40 Wen Dami suddenly poured into the streets to cheer.

"Prime Minister, Marquis Wandai...... Have food with the prime minister...... Prime Minister Marquis Wandai ...... "As long as there is a leader in the crowd, thousands of people will cheer collectively."

However, Xiao Letian didn't send food today, there was only one ditch in his eyes, that is, the famous Longshu Ditch in later generations.

Longxugou originates from Hufang Bridge, turns south through the overpass, goldfish pond and red bridge to the moat outside Yongdingmen, and traverses the southeast of Beijing's outer city. According to research, in the Ming Dynasty, the small river Longxugou already existed in the Ming Dynasty, but it did not have a name at that time.

It was not until the middle of the Qing Dynasty that the river was named Longxugou, but due to the decrease in the amount of water, this crystal clear river in the Ming Dynasty gradually silted up and became a famous stinky ditch in Nancheng.

The environment is not good, naturally the rich do not want to live, with the continuous war, the refugees here gathered and slowly turned into a large area of slums inhabited by destitute grass people.

This is the original shape of Lao She's Longxu Ditch, after the founding of New China, the Beijing Municipal Government spent great efforts to renovate, clean up garbage and build a dark river, Xiao Lotian has not seen the true face of this river in his previous life.

Now, the real dragon beard ditch in history is exuding a stench in front of him, Rao is Xiao Letian is mentally prepared and was also startled by the scene in front of him.

"Is this still a place where people live?" There is no river flowing in the long stinky ditches, garbage floats on the surface of the water and emits a foul smell, the corpses of dead cats and dogs sink and float in the garbage heaps, and there are even dead babies hiding inside.

On both sides of the river were dirt roads, there were no bricks and stones at all, there were muddy ponds everywhere after heavy rains, the surrounding shacks were low and messy, the black and thin people dragged their filthy braids, and the children looked at the new army with their fingers in adoration.

If there is a hell in this world, then it can definitely be ranked first.

"Folks...... I, Xiao Letian, are not here today to put food for everyone, what I want to do is something that you can't even think of, from today onwards, I want to turn Longxugou into a paradise......"

"Pass my order and start moving......" Xiao Lotian roared, and the left side of Longxugou immediately became chaotic.

Armed with rifles loaded with bayonets, the new troops escorted groups of dejected Eight Banner soldiers, all of whom were armed with shovels, wicker baskets, and other tools.

After the Eight Banners walked over, there were groups of green battalion soldiers of the Beijing Division, who were armed with various tools, and came to both sides of Longxugou under the escort of the new army.

Xiao Letian saw that the personnel were almost here, and shouted, "Fill in the earth and build a dam to intercept the river...... Within a month, I'm going to see a clean dragon's whisker ditch...... Not only that, but the whole city of Beijing is cleaned up!"

All the people were in an uproar, they never thought that the second decree of Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea after releasing the grain was actually a big cleaning of the whole city?

But no matter what, Xiao Letian's order was carried out unconditionally, and those Manchu prisoners who had resisted the new army were all turned into sappers at this moment and began to deodorize the whole city.

As the water level gradually dropped, the soldiers began to clean the river, and baskets of stinky silt and garbage were piled up on horse-drawn carts and transported outside the city, which was the best fertilizer for the landlords outside the city.

In the streets and alleys, countless soldiers with shovels and brooms began to sweep the mud from the streets, and all the people were dumbfounded.

"Oh my God, the soldier is sweeping the streets, what the hell does the prime minister want to do......! Look, there's a layer of stone slabs in our alley?"

That's right, in the eyes of the people, the two-hundred-year-old silt has been shoveled away, revealing the stone road paved during the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the people knew that the original Beijing city was not dirty, and there would be no soil on sunny days and mud on rainy days.

In the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, the streets and alleys of Beijing were actually paved with stone roads and gutters, but in the hundreds of years of Manchu rule, the dust covered the original historical traces, and people have forgotten the long history.

"What is the prime minister trying to do? Why do you spend energy doing such a thankless thing?" At that moment, even ordinary citizens didn't understand Xiao Letian, and everyone thought he was snorting.

But Xiao Letian knows very well what he wants, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave the people a dirty life, then Xiao Lotian will give the citizens of Beijing the cleanest world today.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty will give you hunger, and I Xiao Lotian will give you food and clothing!

The Manchu Qing Dynasty gives you ugliness, and I Xiao Lotian gives you a heroic posture!

The Manchu Qing Dynasty has given you dirty, and I, Xiao Letian, am willing to give you the cleanest world!

In the end, whether Prime Minister Xiao Cheng of the East China Sea is good or not, people's hearts are a scale, and it is the most fair scale, from now on, as long as the people of the Qing Dynasty mention the word Xiao Letian, then what comes to their minds is the three labels of food and clothing, cleanliness and handsomeness.

Xiao Letian's governance, moisturizing things silently, in the bits and pieces, people's hearts have been taken away, and it is really his greatest misfortune for the Manchu Qing to encounter such a-stirring stick.
