Chapter 414: The grain merchants are finished
As soon as Liu Rong entered the palace with the county lord of Yongcheng, those who specially united to deal with the Liu family's grain shop got the news, and looked at each other one by one, completely puzzled by what Liu Rong was doing this.
This is not like Princess Rong's style, she doesn't do anything, she just goes to the palace, is it because the Liu's grain shop can't hold on, so she plans to give up?
Thinking of this possibility, the people who specially joined forces to deal with Liu Rong couldn't help but smile on their faces, as long as Liu Rong gave up, then their good days would come.
Without Liu's grain shop, they can immediately turn over the price of grain, and then it will really be silver rolling in.
Thinking that they controlled the refugees to buy so much grain from Liu's grain store during these days, and they could make a lot of money at double the price, these people were in a happy mood.
This opportunity to earn money is not available every year, and this is when their grain shops are rising. The thought of being able to talk about the price of grain rising even higher, one by one, felt refreshed.
It's just that these people didn't feel comfortable for a long time, and because of a sudden news, their smiles froze.
With Liu Rong entering the palace, the imperial court promulgated one thing, that is, the nationalization of Liu's grain shop, which now belongs to the Great Xia court, and all the affairs of Liu's grain shop are managed by Liu Rong, the newly appointed treasurer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In addition, it was announced that the people and officials should not maliciously hoard excessive amounts of food.
Although this information was transmitted, nothing was said to be malicious hoarding.
The small grain merchants couldn't help but get nervous when they thought that they had started with the grain shop opened by the imperial court before. They all looked at the largest grain merchant in the capital, Chen Yuanwai, to know that they came together, but they were all contacted by Chen Yuanwai, so when they were worried, they also hoped that Chen Yuanwai could have any way to solve this problem.
Chen Yuanwai also frowned, but he was not so anxious, after all, behind Chen's grain shop was an official from the Ministry of War: "Don't worry, let's take a look at the wind direction first, maybe Liu Rong didn't find out what we did at all." If we are in the midst of self-disorder. On the contrary, it is easy to go wrong. ”
As soon as Chen Yuanwai's words came out, the large and small grain merchants thought about it and felt that it made sense, so they decided to take a look at the wind first.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. The united grain merchants put their minds at ease. I just think that Liu Rong will do such a thing. The reason for the news to come out of the palace is because there is no way to deal with what happened next. I want to use this method to deter them and make them dare not attack.
Think so. One by one, the grain merchants couldn't help but be excited, because no matter what, they dealt with Liu Rong, who can be said to be the smartest woman in the capital, and made this woman at a loss, which shows how powerful they are. At the same time, these people are slowly relaxing, and even letting go of the refugee food purchase.
One by one, they are not worried at all, because they have done so many things, and this Liu's grain shop has not reacted at all.
The united grain merchants only felt that Liu Rongqian's donkey skills were exhausted, and they were all smiling, thinking that they had relied on refugees to buy grain and hoard countless grains for so many days, which would allow them to earn a lot of money in the following days.
One by one, this will be a bad time.

Liu Rong is still sitting in the private room drinking tea, but the county lord of Yongcheng on the side is in a hurry, if it goes on like this, even if Yang Shaomin keeps sending food, it will not be enough for them to use it like this, I am afraid that the food will be cut off the day after tomorrow.
"Liu Rong, you really can't go on like this anymore, you should think of a way." The county lord of Yongcheng looked at Liu Rong and said quickly, she really couldn't bear the grain they had worked so hard to get, being taken away by these unscrupulous businessmen so little by little, thinking that these people would sell their grain at a high price in the future and bully the people, the county lord of Yongcheng felt that his heart, liver and lungs were burning.
Liu Rong was still bland, as if she didn't care about what happened in the grain store, she just continued to drink tea quietly: "Don't worry too much." ”
Liu Rong said and looked at Dong'er on the side: "Dong'er, is Dong Escort back?" ”
"I came back last night, and said that I could prepare all the things I needed today, Miss, what are you going to do, obviously let Dong Escort check those refugees, but he just followed, and he didn't mean to move at all, if this continues, Liu's grain shop will really not be done." Dong'er was also anxious: "Miss, we have to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and teach these people some lessons, otherwise this food will be ...... short."
"It is really necessary to kill chickens and monkeys, but what chickens to kill and what monkeys to respect, is it difficult to move these refugees?" Liu Rong looked at Dong'er.
Dong'er couldn't help but be silent when she heard Liu Rong's words, what her young lady said was reasonable, she couldn't let these refugees become killed chickens, after all, they were just being used to live.
"It's useless to deal with refugees, people naturally fight hard in order to live, catch a lesson, and there will be thousands of continues, maybe we do such a thing, and we will ask people to catch the handle, and when the time comes, people will say that we discriminate against refugees, and maybe they will say something to smear us." Liu Rong looked at Dong'er and the county lord of Yongcheng and said, Dong'er and the county lord of Yongcheng are too anxious, such a temperament is not good.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, didn't Dong Huwei find out who the person behind it is? Otherwise, just let me take someone to smash the field outside the Chen Yuan, if it doesn't work, we will also clean up those small grain merchants together, I don't believe it, and those people raised in Prince Guo's mansion can't teach these people a lesson. The county lord of Yongcheng said quickly, she had endured it to the limit.
"Don't worry, when Escort Dong comes back this time, it's almost over." Liu Rong quickly opened her mouth to reassure, what else did the county lord of Yongcheng want to say, but Liu Rong asked the county lord of Yongcheng to rest first, don't think about it.
At this time, Dong Huwei returned.
When Dong Huwei came back, he brought all the news of the big and small grain merchants, and even who was behind these grain merchants, how much grain they were hoarding now, and where they were hoarding, all of which were listed in detail and handed over to Liu Rong.
The corners of Liu Rong's mouth hooked slightly: "Have you asked Zuo Tingxuan?" Can the officials of the Shuntian Mansion be dispatched at the same time to arrest those refugees who have been identified before and are related to these grain merchants, as well as those who have been contacted? ”
"No problem, I also found the Commander of the Protector Army for this matter, and the Commander agreed to let the officers and men of the army participate in the arrest together, and we are not short of manpower for the operation." Dong Huwei looked at Liu Rong and said quickly, follow Liu Rong to do things, especially this time, watching Liu Rong's layout, paralyzing the opponent, and now that he wants to make a move, he always has a feeling of following the general, as if everything is under control, and those enemies are about to face an absolute storm.
Thinking that he would be able to teach these unscrupulous businessmen a good lesson next, Dong Huwei couldn't help but smile on his face.
Liu Rong didn't have a smile on her face, this time the action was to see blood, although she was a surgeon and often saw patients, but this time she was going to be a chopsticker, but these people who had to be cleaned up were the ones who should be cleaned up, so Liu Rong didn't regret it at all even if she thought of what would happen next.
Liu Rong took a deep breath and looked at Dong Huwei: "Let everyone act now, then Chen Yuanwai must not let go, if you can, the officials behind Chen Yuanwai, don't let it go." ”
Dong Huwei responded quickly to Liu Rong, turned around and left quickly.
After following Liu Rong for so long, watching the establishment of Liu's grain shop and helping so many people, even he, an onlooker, has reached the verge of breaking out when he sees the grain shop being eaten up by others like this, which will just let these unscrupulous businessmen taste the consequences.
At the same time, countless officers and soldiers appeared in the streets and alleys to arrest people, and the people arrested were refugees who had bought food for the grain merchants many times, and at the same time, the officials of the Shuntian Prefecture appeared in the homes of those grain merchants, and the goals of these people were very clear, and when they entered the mansion, they specially arrested the people who were responsible for contacting the refugees, and ordered these people to find the refugees to buy food.
Several simply decorated courtyards in the east of the capital were also surrounded by officers and soldiers, and this was the place where those grain merchants stored grain after buying it.
Chen Yuanwai sat quietly at home, but his mood was not calm, these days Liu's grain shop was too calm, and the calm water could not wave, which made him a little uncertain, but as a person who united all the grain merchants, he had to remain calm, so he treated the small grain merchants very confidently, but his heart was unstable, because he couldn't guess what Liu Rong was going to do, he didn't believe that Liu Rong simply turned Liu's grain shop into the imperial court, so he had no backhand, but he really couldn't think of what Liu Rong was going to do.
At this time, a family member ran into the house in a panic: "Master, it's not good, the people from the government suddenly appeared and arrested Steward Chen and a few small servants." ”
Chen Yuanwai's hands and feet were cold, these people were the ones he ordered to go down to contact the refugees and let the refugees buy food from Liu's grain shop.
Chen Yuanwai took a deep breath and immediately instructed the family: "You immediately go out to find out the news and see how the situation is in the other grain merchants' mansions, whether this is the only thing that happens in our mansion, or if there is also such a thing in other mansions." ”
"In addition, let people find a way to buy off the officials of Shuntianfu, find a way to let people go in and deliver a message, no matter what these officials are for, let the housekeeper and a few small servants grit their teeth and only say that it is their own idea. As long as they do this, tell them that their families are all supported by the Chen family. ”
Jiading nodded quickly to Chen Yuanwai, turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he went out, he hit a human wall, looked up, and instantly a spirit, only to see a cloth cloth with a few officials had walked into the house.
"Chen Yuanwai, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you don't have such a chance, you need to go to the yamen with us, the government found out that the Chen Mansion maliciously hoarded food, intending to rebel, maybe it has something to do with the original rebel Three Emperors, now please go back with us."
When Chen Yuanwai heard the words of the visitor, his body weakened, and he sat on the ground, intending to rebel, this is to take the entire Chen Mansion to the end, maybe he will also destroy the Nine Clans, Chen Yuanwai was cold. (To be continued......)
