Chapter 996: Launch an operation against the grain merchants of Shougt City

At ten o'clock in the morning of December 6, 1176, Yan Tielong was very tired and came to the royal city of Gert City through the secret passage to meet Leopas.

In fact, since three days ago, Prince Leopis told Yan Tielong and Night Star Ruosi that there are forces that want to use the price of grain to make trouble, Night Star Ruosi said that a plan will make those merchants and forces who engage in grain raise the price of grain, and then let those merchants and forces who raise the price of grain go bankrupt, and casually brush up a wave of royal prestige.

If you want to bankrupt the unknown forces and the elevated grain merchants, you must have enough food, but the surrounding kingdoms will definitely be shocked to buy food, so Leopis and Nightstar Ruosi decided to let Yan Tielong go to other places to buy food through the teleportation array.

And in order to let Yan Tielong carry more food and coal, Leopis lent Yan Tielong all the space rings that symbolized royal power, and of course, Princess Mary Yixue's pair of space earrings and Princess Bai Alyse Ping also handed over the space bracelet given to her by the Sword Master.

So Yan Tielong continued to transport grain from Xiaoyuyu Town, Liuxi Trade Town, and Shougett City; of course, Xiaoyuyu Town was full of seafood, and most of it was transported from Liushui Town.

Originally, Liushui Fish Town thought that Xiaoyuyu Town would be very short of food, but recently, the Great Elder of the Dragon's Lair transported the surplus seafood from their side to Xiaoyu Town, but Princess Long Lias had previously gotten a large amount of food from the Green Feather Wing Clan, and the fishing boats on the side of Xiaoyuyu Town were also a bumper harvest, and the weather there was relatively hot and it was impossible to store seafood for a long time, so it was naturally sold to Yan Tielong very cheaply.

Of course, Yan Tielong didn't know that there was a lot of seafood in Xiaoyuyu Town at first, and his first target was of course the food from the Feather Wing Clan.

And the Blue Feather Wing Clan has stabilized the epidemic, so they learned that the Sky Warrior wanted a lot of food, and in order to repay the Sky Warrior for their large help in the epidemic, they began to harvest food and send it to Yan Tielong.

Of course, Yan Tielong refused to give away the green feather wings for nothing, so Granny Ni directly sold it to Yan Tielong for a copper coin and a pound of grain.

And Yan Tielong resold it to Leo Pine at the cost price of two copper coins, after all, Yan Tielong's consumption of magic potions in the teleportation array was a bit large.

After Leopis obtained low-priced food from the Feather Wing Clan and Xiaoyuyu Town, he did not immediately distribute the food, but set up ten sales points, and at the same time limited each person to half a catty of food a day, of course, the price is dozens of times the cost of the food outside, which is definitely the price of conscience.

The people outside already knew that the first granary of Shougut City had been burned down, and the second and third granaries had been embezzled and emptied, and now everyone was very worried about the prince's financial problems;

In fact, there are voices among the people of Shougt City, hoping that His Royal Highness the Prince will lead everyone to arrest all those grain merchants who have made a fortune and put them to death.

In the face of the people's voices, and Prince Leo Pine's response was that they were the kingdom of the legal system, and those grain merchants who made a fortune did not oppose the law, so they must not refuse.

There are more than 5,000 tons of grain in the palace of the other guards in the palace of Guardian City, and more than 5,000 tons of grain are guarded by the personal guards of Concubine Bai Alyss, without the orders of Leopis and Concubine Bai Alysie and Yan Tielong, no one can get close to within 100 meters, once they enter the palace grain warehouse within 100 meters, they will be killed, after all, Prince Leopis is also worried that the real grain situation here will be known by those grain merchants and hostile organizations who are difficult to make money, then their efforts will almost be lost.

Of course, the palace is now only releasing nearly a hundred tons of grain food every day, and most of the people of Shougert are starving, but no one is starving, and the people are very grateful to His Royal Highness Prince Leo Pine.

At the same time, those merchants and organizations that engage in high grain prices are calculating the palace reserve grain, and they all think that Prince Leopaith's grain will definitely not last for two days if it is sold like now, and when the time comes, they are raising prices, and some even want to exchange grain for high-ranking officials, after all, with the support of the Sword Master, many people think that it is only a matter of time before Leopis unifies the whole country.

Of course, this time the food crisis also has spies sent by Leopis's brothers, who are here to make trouble, for example, the first granary is the handiwork of them and some grain merchants.

At this time, Yan Tielong wanted to see Leopis pretending to be sick, so he couldn't help but ask the other party what was this doing?

In the face of Yan Tielong's inquiry, Prince Leopis said that this was the idea of the night star Ruosi, and with the words of the night star Ruosi, he would now fall ill for the rations of the people, so as to confuse those grain merchants who died and those forces that broke it even more.

After Yan Tielong heard this, he sighed directly: "Gao!", but he was also worried that the news of Leopais' illness would make ordinary people act in extreme ways, and when the time came, it would hurt the people.

Hearing Yan Tielong's concern, Leopis had not answered, but Ruosi, the night star who had just entered the ward, said that he would use the anger of the people to teach those grain merchants a profound lesson and get back the grain that belonged to them.

After listening to the words of Night Star Ruosi, Yan Tielong also knew that Leopis had a complete plan, so he returned all those space equipment, after all, there were five thousand tons of food enough for Shougett City to deal with those grain merchants, if it was not enough, he could also be a porter in the future, now Yan Tielong just had a good rest, after all, his magic consumption in the past few days was a bit large.

Yan Tielong returned to the tavern through the secret passage, and he went directly to bed.

In the evening, Yan Tielong felt hungry after he had slept well, and at the same time found that the tavern warehouse was empty, so he went out to other taverns and restaurants for dinner.

Yan Tielong had just come out of the tavern, he looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky, he couldn't help frowning, after all, according to the current weather, I don't know how many people will be frozen to death.

Walking on Snow Street, Yan Tielong noticed that many streets were very sparsely populated, but he still saw the queue from the palace selling grain lining up here.

Through passers-by, everyone understands that everyone wants low-cost grain, after all, the price of grain is too expensive for grain merchants now, and at the same time, the people are worried that the low-cost grain in the palace will be sold out; now everyone thinks that it is good to be able to buy some.

Just as Yan Tielong was about to leave and enter a popular firepower tavern, an army with torches began to protect the people in line, so as to reduce the trouble of the outlaws at night.

The surrounding people praised Prince Leopis's arrangement, many people expressed concern about the sick Leopis, and even many people expressed their willingness to bankrupt their families in the hope that Prince Leopis would get better as soon as possible.

Hearing the words of the people around him, Yan Tielong felt that it was worth helping Leopis in the past few days.

At the same time, there was a gurgling sound in Yan Tielong's stomach, so he entered the Firepower Tavern.

For Yan Tielong's arrival, the waitress of the firepower tavern was very enthusiastic and took Yan Tielong to the empty table, and noticed that Yan Tielong was not a regular customer, and she introduced the tavern dishes and drinks.

Let Yan Tielong think that the first glass of wine in this tavern is very cheap, but the second cup costs dozens of times, for example, a cup of ale wine only costs two copper coins, but the second cup actually costs fifty copper coins.

And the price difference between the first and the next few drinks in the tavern is so much because the boss decided that the first glass of wine is a tribute to Prince Leopis's low price of selling grain, and the price of the second glass and the subsequent drinks are the normal price.

The price on the tavern menu is indeed very expensive for ordinary people now, but it is nothing to Yan Tielong, plus he is really hungry, so he ordered a lot of food.

The tavern owner was very excited about Yan Tielong's order of a lot of food, you must know that most of the customers in the tavern now order a glass of ale wine and leave after drinking, and now he has lost a lot of money, after all, the price of grain is very high, and it is impossible for the person who runs the tavern to buy a large amount of grain from Prince Leopis to make wine.

Since Yan Tielong was one of the few customers who ordered a large amount of food, the tavern chef worked very hard to cook.

Soon, the three female waiters kept bringing food to Yan Tielong's table, and Yan Tielong felt good after tasting the food on the table, so he began to eat and drink.

Just as Yan Tielong was halfway through eating, suddenly a guest in the tavern loudly told the guests at the same table that Prince Leopis was not Renjun at all, and expressed that Prince Leopis was the same as those merchants, and only in this way could it be explained that His Royal Highness the Prince did not arrest those bastard profiteers, and he even thought that there was a large amount of grain in the palace, and he would not sell it until the price of grain increased.

Hearing the analysis of the guests who slandered the prince, Yan Tielong, who was enjoying dinner not far away, was very surprised in his heart, and he even suspected that someone in the palace had leaked secrets again.

However, as soon as the slander of Prince Leopis finished speaking, the tavern owner actually walked up to the slanderer of the prince's guest, he grabbed the slanderer of the prince's guest with one hand, and expressed to the guests present that if His Royal Highness the prince and the profiteers were in the same group, then His Royal Highness the prince did not need to sell grain at a low price at all, like the prince has sold three or four hundred tons of food at a low price in the past few days, and the monarch would do that if he sent soldiers to protect everyone in line at night now.

When the innkeeper spoke of his anger, he even suspected that the man in his hand was a spy sent by the enemy to escort the guests who slandered the prince to the soldiers outside.

When the detractor of the prince heard that the tavernkeeper was going to escort him to the soldiers outside, he immediately panicked and hurriedly glanced at his companions.

The companion who slandered the prince's guest immediately drew his dagger and attacked the tavernkeeper first, but the tavernkeeper did not sit still, he punched the prince's guest in the air, and the tavernkeeper killed the second man with a second punch.

Everyone cheers for the Tavernkeeper as they see the Tavernkeeper take out the spy.

It's just that no one noticed that just after the tavern owner threw the first punch, the second spy had already pulled out a dagger and stabbed the tavern owner, but unfortunately the second spy suddenly felt a restraining force that made him unable to act, which made the tavern unharmed;
