Chapter 408: The Purchase of Grain Causes a Turmoil

Originally, those grain merchants thought that the prince of Guangling Mansion was just scaring them, and they didn't put it on their bodies. Five cents, obviously three cents can buy grain, why do you have to give five cents?

King Guangling was smart and confused for a while, how could he let this stupid son waste money!

This is not a clear way to tell the world, the prince of Guangling, people are stupid and have a lot of money, come quickly!

I don't know what the grain merchants in other places think, and the local grain merchants also think so. In the past, King Guangling also did things to buy grain for the sake of the local people, but it was not for a long time, as long as the granaries were filled, they would no longer be purchased.

Just when the profiteers secretly slandered Du Dashan for being a fool, Du Dashan had already purchased about 20% of the grain in Guangling, which was 100,000 stones.

In the summer, the cicadas chirp outside, disturbing people's minds.

"Oh no, no" A shriveled old man who looked like an account office rushed in like a gust of wind.

Those who don't know think that there is a vicious dog chasing after them!

An obese middle-aged man who was napping was suddenly frightened, rubbed his eyes, and said angrily: "Shouting, scared me to death, it's not like words." Hurry up, what the hell is going on? ”

The shriveled old man was out of breath and said, "Old man, it's not good, the prince of Guangling has now collected twenty percent of the grain." At this rate, let's not expect to receive a grain of grain. ”

The middle-aged fat man is one of the grain merchants who came from other places, Wei Feng.

Hearing this, Wei Feng stood up with a "pout". Disbelieving asked, "What did you say?" Say it again. ”

Yuan Ledger hurriedly said: "The prince of Guangling has already purchased twenty percent of the grain in Guangling Mansion. ”

"Twenty percent?" Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, "The local people will generally keep forty percent of the grain, and will only sell the remaining sixty percent, and now it has been purchased two percent, and there are still four percent." ”

"Yes, my subordinates see that many people are starting to get anxious, what should we do? To receive, or not to receive? Yuan Ledger Fang Zheng asked, they rushed over just to collect grain.

Wei Feng frowned. Said: "That." So, what's the price now? ”

"It's still five cents." The Yuan Ledger replied, "If you buy it at this price, let's ship it back." I can't make a lot of money. ”

"Or Wuwen?" Wei Feng listened. Angrily slap the table. "Prince of Guangling, why did you buy so much grain? Do you want to raise troops for breakfast? ”

When the yuan account room heard this, he was taken aback. Rebel? This is not something that was said casually, and hurriedly reminded: "Master, you can't talk nonsense."

Wei Feng felt that he was overtalking, after all, this was the territory of King Guangling, and if he offended King Guangling, he wouldn't want to go out of Guangling Mansion.

"We're far away, there's no need to buy food here, let's go somewhere else." Yuan Ledger suggested that the price of the grain purchased by the prince of Guangling was high, and the local people were of course willing to sell it to him.

Unwilling to pay, and not as powerful as the other party, leaving in disgrace is the best decision!

Wei Feng thought about it, turned his head and said, "Go and see the others!" ”

"Yes, sir." The yuan account room didn't care about taking a sip of tea, and hurriedly went out to find out the news.

This kind of situation not only happened here in Wei Feng, but also the stewards sent by several other grain merchants were also anxious. I want to find a countermeasure, but this is the territory of Guangling Mansion, and people are willing to buy grain at a high price.

They did not dare to complain about the high price of grain outside, because there were grain sellers everywhere, and if they were heard, they would be beaten by the crowd, and they would not find anyone who beat them.

Ten days passed, and Du Dashan harvested another 20% of the grain; After another five days, another harvest was made, and the purchase began to be stopped.

Thirty percent of the grain is used to make wine, and two percent of the grain is stored for disaster relief in case of disaster. Although there is a disaster, the imperial court will send people to provide disaster relief, but the mountains here in Guangling Mansion are high and the emperor is far away, and when the food for disaster relief arrives, it is estimated that the people here will starve to death.

Therefore, every year King Guangling would buy grain, just in case.

The stewards of the grain went back with nothing. If you don't receive the grain, you will definitely anger the master, but fortunately, it was not collected by other grain merchants, and the prince of Guangling accepted it.

The prince of Guangling has the right time and place, and these outsiders who have lowered the price of grain can't get the grain when they move away!

The stewards didn't care about the rights and wrongs of King Guangling, but the masters behind these stewards were representatives of the major forces, especially in the capital, who were restless and began to spread rumors that King Guangling was buying grain on a large scale and plotting to rebel.

As soon as this message came out, many people contributed to it.

Not only the people in the streets, but also the courts.

The common people of the people, the young ones may not know the King of Guangling, but the old people are not the supporters of the King of Guangling! Thinking of the year, it was the southern and northern wars of the King of Guangling, the eastern and western conquests, in exchange for the stability of the border passes of the Great Jin Dynasty for 20 years.

Thousands of battles, large and small, without a single defeat.

Every time the class teacher returns to the court, the people of the capital will go out of the city for dozens of miles to greet him. It seems that as long as there is King Guangling, no one wants to take advantage of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, when those old people heard that King Guangling deliberately offended, those old people would scold them. If your own kid is talking nonsense, chase and beat with a broom.

Folk rumors, everyone listens to them and jokes.

But in the court, it is calm on the surface, but the bottom is very weird.

The second princess Yu lay leisurely on the big pillow with flowering patterns everywhere, eating lychees, while laughing and listening to the rumors outside the Xiao family.

"Auntie, the prince of Guangling is also a fool, as soon as he comes back, he will make such a big thing, see how he ends!" After Xiao Shi finished speaking, his mouth was dry, and he picked up the cup and drank water.

It's so comfortable, it's so enjoyable!

Following the princess Yu, she said with a smile: "Although such rumors will not really make the emperor immediately make the king of Guangling, they will also plant the seeds of doubt in my heart." King Guangling has 30,000 elite soldiers, which can be regarded as self-respecting, and now he is hoarding a large amount of food, and no emperor will be at ease. ”

Xiao Shi said proudly: "That's natural, but King Guangling is not in the capital, and as soon as I go out to socialize now, I will be asked this and that, and I will be annoyed." Does that affect us? ”

The step-princess Yu didn't care, and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." You have to remember that as long as there is the Yu family, even if something happens to King Guangling, we won't have an accident. ”

Xiao Shi was surprised, and asked cautiously, "Why is this?" ”

If you want to talk about gold and silver jewelry, Xiao's is very good, but when it comes to things in the court, it is definitely not as good as the step-princess Yu! (To be continued.) )
