Chapter Twenty-Six: The Grain Store Opens
The eldest grandson Wuji and Yun Rui were both dumbfounded!
it!
You really dare to say that you are still made of gold and jade......
Who are you teasing?
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Shimin cautiously, only to see that His Majesty's face was ugly and he was about to die
He hurriedly changed the topic casually: "Our grain store is about to open, is there anything else to prepare?" ”
"There is nothing to prepare, that is, to limit the quantity and purchase, each person cannot buy more than ten days' rations, and the maximum number of 10,000 stone sold in the store every day is to prevent those grain merchants from buying us at a low price and hoarding it again."
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned
Although I haven't heard of limited quantities before, I can still understand the literal meaning.
This surprised him at Qin Shou's thoughts, limited quantities and limited purchases, which seemed popular, but the implication was too great.
"Whew~"
Li Shimin couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and then took a deep breath.
Secretly comfort yourself, this kid has no intention!
Na Cheng thought, Qin Shou drank a little wine, swelled, and he turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji and said with a smile, "Uncle, it seems that your taste needs to be improved!" Next time you want to look for it, look for those princes and nobles....."
The faces of the eldest grandson Wuji and Yun Rui were strange again.
Fuck your uncle, can you not mention this stubble
If you don't want to die, we still want it!
Li Shimin walked away with a black face, and he didn't finish the wine.
For this, Qin Shou was very depressed.
Did you say something wrong?
No, I can't!
......
In the next few days, the biggest topic of conversation among the people in Chang'an City was that a grain store was about to open.
As the opening approached, there was more and more talk about the grain store
Many people even have nothing to do but deliberately go to the door of the grain store to take a turn, not to mention the beautiful environment, there is a row of beautiful women standing at the door of the store, that water and ...... It's also eye-catching to look at!
"How many days will that grain store be gone?"
"Tomorrow!"
"Yo, this heart food store is about to open tomorrow?"
"Really, I'll get the rice bag when I go back later"
"No, do you really believe what it says, the price of grain is 2 yuan/bucket?"
"No treacherous businessmen, these grain merchants are the same as those noble clans, eager to suck people's flesh and blood"
"Shouldn't it, this store will let people write the price of grain every day, in black and white, and they will slap themselves in the face?"
"I think we can try it, even if we can't buy it, we won't lose anything......"
…..
Some yamen in the imperial court
"Lu Shilang, there is a new grain store on Suzaku Street, have you heard of it? Let's take a look? ”
"A grain store is just open, what are we going to see?"
"You don't know yet? I heard that the owner of this shop is Princess Goyang's Mansion, and the people behind it ......"
Lu Shilang couldn't help but shrink his eyes, "Then we have to take a look, I heard that the earliest public bidding method was first passed out from Princess Gaoyang's mansion, is it ...... this time?"
"So, we'll have to check ......"
In the past, matters large and small in the court and the central government were decided only after consultation between the three provinces and six ministries and the emperor, but since His Majesty sent Hongling to make an urgent envoy some time ago, to the current disaster relief grain, the officials of the various ministries have found that things are gradually out of their sight and control.
How does this keep them from panicking?
Therefore, when they heard that the back of the grain store was the Princess's Mansion, their first reaction was to think of His Majesty, what is this move?
A similar situation is playing out in the major yamen.
......
finally
The day of the opening came, in the midst of a noisy sky of gongs and drums
There were a lot of people coming to the street in front of the grain store
Many people surrounded the store, and they couldn't squeeze in the three floors inside and outside.
In the dark, there are Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and other important ministers of the three provinces and six departments are watching from a distance.
Qin Shou wanted to come, but he was entangled by Gao Yang......
In addition, I just didn't hold back my fart, and I just came to see the lively people with five surnames and seven looks
It is true that they united with the grain merchants to boycott this store, but because of this, they wanted to come and see how this store died, and by the way, look at the frustrated face of the Li Tang royal family.
In their opinion, 2 money / bucket is simply impossible!
No one in the entire Datang dared to do this.
The whole Chang'an turned their eyes over
All eyes are on it, but there are also many doubts.
"Why hasn't the door opened......
"Don't they dare to open the door to sell grain?"
"Who says it's not, who can believe that they really sell it for 2 yuan/bucket?"
"Fake, right?"
"Just look at the price they sell, anyway, I don't think this price will buy food."
"It's strange to be able to buy it, and it's a joke to say that the price set by this grain store before!"
In the midst of a disapproving voice, the "Benxin" grain store is still open!
......
It is a private room at the top of the restaurant opposite the grain store
The people of the high gate of the scholar clan gathered here, they drank wine, wrote poems, and smiled at the "heart" grain store
"Is it finally going to open? Why didn't you see their food? ”
"They're just jumping clowns, without our scholar clan opening their mouths, do you really think that the Li Tang royal family can raise so much food in a short period of time?"
"Yes, they have raised 100,000 stones for so long before, but now it has only been a few days, and such a large amount of grain is not something that can be collected by one or two families, not to mention that no one is willing to sell grain to the imperial court."
"The Li royal family doesn't want to think about it, without the support of our scholar clan at the beginning, would they be where they are today?"
"Let's just watch the show!"
“......”
As soon as the words of several people fell, they heard the sound of horses' hooves of "da-......" surging like thunder.
I saw a row of horse-drawn carriages coming across Suzaku Street, and the carriages were full of sacks, which were piled up in bulging bags.
The horse team is very long, and you can't see your head at a glance
"It's the place!"
The carriage at the front came to the door of the "Benxin" grain store and stopped.
It was very lively just now, and everyone was stunned.
"This ......"
All stunned!
Be quiet!
This area in front of the grain store is as quiet as death!
After a brief lull, the crowd exploded.
"Is this a lack of food? With so many wagons, how much grain must be there, even if it is open for sale, there will be no problem for a while! ”
"Oh my God, it's shocking to have so much grain and sell it at such a low price!"
"This grain store is simply amazing,"
"After that, I bought ...... from this grain store"
“......”
A woman at the front of the line was suddenly stunned, and then whimpered: "I...... I forgot to get the rice bag today."
A man who was about to leave just now stayed for a long time and scolded: "Who the hell said that they definitely didn't come to sell grain today?" ”
Wouldn't you have to start queuing from the back of the line?
"2 money/bucket, everyone line up!"
"Don't crowd, line up ....."
The clerk of the grain store shouted in his throat, but he couldn't stop the people from squeezing in like crazy.
"Oops, stop squeezing, step on my feet!"
"Don't cut in the front, plug in the back....."
A woman was about to cry: "Don't squeeze it....... It's going to explode! ”
The officials of the various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee watched in horror at the crowd of people surging in front of the grain store, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Hiss!
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed in their hearts.
Your Majesty...... Unfathomable!
A grain store can be so shocked, I really can't imagine how much energy is hidden behind His Majesty.
Like the abyss!
Li Shimin also saw the scene in front of him at this time, but his heart was surging
Terrible!
It's really amazing!
Qin Shou's "grain and grass have not been moved, marketing first" is really talented, just opened, and the audience has already been suppressed.
The eldest grandson Wuji also swallowed his saliva again and again, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, it is no different from what Qin Shou expected. ”
Li Er hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Wuji, I want you to go and talk to the Fang family about peace and separation, what do you think?" ”
"......" Eldest Sun Wuji's face suddenly darkened.
I don't think so, do you have to let me serve this?
But he didn't dare to say it, and he could only nod his head after holding it for a long time.
And those grain merchants were blindfolded at this time, and their legs could barely stand.
The people with the five surnames and seven wangs were also stupid, and everyone in the private room couldn't make a sound at this time.
They are all grain sellers, and this year they have stockpiled more grain than in previous years, so they don't know how much impact so much grain will have on them.
A chill rushed to the skull.
Finish the calf!
......
Thank you for your votes! Thanks to Life for such a rewarding question, I realized that there was a question that was not answered!
Woooooo
