Chapter 1425: Selling Grain in the City
Yang County.
As soon as the day dawned, as soon as the city gate was opened, two thousand iron horsemen rushed in directly, and even made the garrison defending the city have a kind of false impression of being "besieged", if it wasn't for Ye Shikai showing his identity, plus the cavalry team's military might be unstoppable, the garrison did not dare to hesitate, and opened the city gate directly.
"Let's go. Ye Shikai raised his horsewhip and took the lead into Yang County, and the people on both sides of the street came out to watch, why was it so noisy early in the morning.
"Xue San, beat the gongs and drums. Ye Shikai said suddenly.
"What, my lord, it's just dawn, and many of the people are sleeping. Xue San was very puzzled, disturbing the people is not like what Ye Shikai would do, the army has entered the city, and there has been a lot of commotion, if the gongs and drums are beaten again, isn't it the same as marrying a big family.
"I just want to make it audible to all the people, and don't worry, even though the gongs and drums are beating, and all the sergeants are shouting in unison. Suddenly, Ye Shikai twisted the horse's head violently and stopped.
"All the troops obeyed the order, and divided them into thirteen places, and if they found the grain hidden in it, they sold it to the people at a low price, and if anyone stopped it, report it to me immediately. Ye Shikai said loudly.
"Wow. ”
"Wow. ”
"Wow. ”
Ye Shikai asked more than a dozen of his generals to lead the team, and at the same time rushed to the location marked by Xue San last night, last night Ye Shikai accepted the gold given by the "merchant", of course, not for greed for money, but to paralyze the people behind the grain store, so that he thought that Ye Shikai had ended the targeting of him, but he would never have imagined that Ye Shikai had collected a thousand gold, and as a result, he was going to copy his thirteen hiding places just after dawn.
Although Ye Shikai seems to be a little "unkind", he doesn't care about whether the means are glorious or not for these profiteers.
Ye Shikai personally came to a location located in the market, at this time, many shops had not yet opened, and only some vendors selling breakfast had gotten up.
"Soldiers, each hideout is guarded by a few guards, and they have weapons. Xue San reminded.
"yes, that's even better, the guards prepare, rush in. Ye Shikai said coldly, dozens of guards immediately dismounted, kicked the door of the store open, and the guards inside were caught off guard, and they didn't even have time to pull out their swords, so they were taken down by Ye Shikai's own soldiers.
"There are also guards to guard, it seems that this person is not simple. Ye Shikai sneered coldly and waved his hand, and the remaining sergeants immediately searched for it, and soon found the tunnel under a pile of straw in the corner.
Xue San's body was agile, and he jumped down directly, only to see that both sides were piled up with dense grain bags, and he took out a dagger and stabbed into it, and the rice grains were scattered on the ground like flowing water.
"Soldiers, these are all food. ”
"Very good, all move out, a few more sergeants, set up a stall, and sell grain at a low price. Ye Shikai took out a drumstick, walked to the big drum in front of the market, and slammed it hard, smashing out a muffled sound, which could be heard clearly within a kilometer or two.
"The market is open, come on, sell grain at a low price. Ye Shikai shouted loudly, and asked the sergeants around him to shout together, and soon, many people were woken up and walked out of the house.
"What's the matter, shouting there early in the morning. ”
"Let's go, there are people selling low-cost grain again, and many sergeants are shouting over there. ”
"What, there is also low-cost grain, I didn't grab it yesterday, I must grab it today." ”
"yes, yes, let's go. ”
When the people heard that there were people selling grain cheaply in the bazaar, they were sleepy one second, and the next second they were full of vigor, and they rushed towards the bazaar, and some people didn't even wear their clothes, so they ran directly with copper coins, for fear that they would not be able to buy food if they were one step late.
"Behold, there are people selling grain there. There was a sudden shout from the crowd, and the crowd looked down, and sure enough, there were also sergeants not far away who were moving out the grain bags, and there were many people gathered around.
"Have you heard, there are also sergeants selling grain in the restaurant in the east of the city, all at low prices, everyone go quickly. ”
"There are also guest villages in the south of the city. ”
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”
For a while, it seemed that the people of the whole city ran out one after another, gathered on the streets, even more lively than the New Year, thousands of people, excitedly carrying grain bags to run home, that excitement, just like the sky is "money rain", of course, compared with the expensive grain sold by those profiteers before, Ye Shikai is indeed "selling cheaply", and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has picked up a big bargain.
"My lord, the price of these grains is only one-tenth of what those profiteers sold before, and the people of the whole city praise you as a god descending to earth and purifying all sentient beings. Xue San said excitedly, maybe it won't be long before the whole city can remember Ye Shikai's name.
"In fact, these should have belonged to the people, but they just let the profiteers take advantage of the loopholes. Ye Shikai nodded and said, having said that, these profiteers are indeed extremely hateful, as the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and they actually use food to make huge profits, which is not only lacking in morality, but also despicable.
"Yes, but my lord, if you have offended those profiteers so much, will they take revenge? Xue San asked.
"That's what I've been waiting for. Ye Shikai said lightly, "Xue San, is there any teahouse around here, pick a good place, let's wait slowly." ”
"This ...... Oh, my lord, there is a teahouse in front of you, and I will take you there. ”
Tea house.
"Yo, a few military masters, come here, please inside. When the shopkeeper saw the visitors, he immediately invited them to the private room inside.
"A few military masters came just in time, and the small shop happened to have a batch of good tea, please wait. ”
Ye Shikai found a location, just in time to be able to see the movement outside through the window, and in the shop not far away, there happened to be a sergeant selling food there.
"My lord, what are you doing here. "Mancang is very nervous, to be exact, it is vigilance, this is Yang County, the people behind the grain store can actually have a private armed guard locally, that must be capable, if it is really revenge, I am afraid it is not difficult, maybe, in this tea, it may be mixed with poison.
"Nature is waiting for people. Ye Shikai drank hot tea, calm and relaxed, since the "merchant" last night was able to investigate Ye Shikai's name and identity, then in Yang County, they could easily find out which teahouse Ye Shikai was in, which private room he was sitting in, and what kind of tea he was drinking.
Ye Shikai wants to wait here for that person to come here, today he is selling grain in the whole city, and he also copied the grain of the "behind-the-scenes" to sell, which is equivalent to cutting off his financial route, Ye Shikai doesn't believe that he will not come.
"Mancang, evacuate all the brothers under the teahouse, as well as the personal soldiers outside the private room, and also evacuate. ”
