The price of food is still rising, and it has risen to 30 cents per bucket.

The people complained.

The rich grain merchants, who had been selling grain on a large scale before, suddenly began to stop selling grain to the outside world at this time, because there was no grain in the granary.

In fact, the biggest impact of this rise in grain prices is the rich grain merchants, because they are a group of grain speculators, and to put it bluntly, they are a group of speculative people.

There is money, but there is not much food in stock.

Take advantage of the good market to make a profit, which is why before, when the price of food fell, they would sell the grain wantonly, afraid of missing the opportunity, the grain mold, insects smashed in their hands,

But at the same time, their family has a big business, and the consumption is also large, and the daily food and clothing at home is a big number, and the grain store is waiting for the rice to open for business.

Now that food prices have skyrocketed again, they can't help but regret it

Hate!

At the beginning, his granary was not full, why didn't he calm down and sell it all at once.

This made the people even more angry, and they scolded directly, and the scolding dog was bloody.

"Dog's day grain merchant, low grain prices only bought for a few days before they began to rise again?"

"They must be selling for a higher price, and they also say that there is no food, what about the ghosts?"

"It's still the 'heart' grain store, the price is a full percentage lower than that of the grain merchants, and the key is that there is never a shortage of grain."

"That's not ....... the grain and oil in the 'Benxin' grain store, the price is not high."

“.......”

On the other hand, the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" scholar clan still had grain, even if a lot of it was sold to the imperial court for disaster relief, and a lot was sold when the price of grain fell, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.

Not to mention the 'heart' grain store.

Originally, the grain merchants hated the 'heart' grain store for disrupting the grain market, and this time the hatred was even greater.

Many of them got together to discuss countermeasures.

"Good people have specially let the 'Benxin' grain store do it, then don't blame us for uniting the five surnames and Qiwang to squeeze you out."

"Is that okay? Before, we didn't want to get too involved with the five surnames and Qiwang, for fear that their family would be powerful and wouldn't eat us at that time, we didn't know yet......"

"Is there a better way now? Do you want to go to the 'heart' grain store now? ”

“.......”

In the end, a consensus was reached to cooperate with the five surnames and seven wangs to unanimously suppress the 'original heart' grain store.

......

Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and many other civil officials came to meet Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was worried in his heart, what he explained to his eldest grandson Wuji was not done?

The reason is that Fang Yiai does not agree.

He couldn't help but scold: "Simple-minded, five big and three rough bastards, do you really think that I can't help you?" ”

Can be scolded and scolded...... This matter was originally that the Li Tang royal family was sorry for Fang Yiai, and Fang Yiai did not agree, could it still be that the cow did not drink water and forced his head?

In case of trouble, the Manchu Dynasty will know about it and it will not be able to end.

"Your Majesty, the price of grain in Chang'an has soared again recently, and the people are miserable, and there is not much grain left in our treasury, so it may be difficult to ...... next."

When Wei Zheng said this, he looked up at Li Shimin, who was stunned.

"What does Aiqing think it should be?" Li Shimin suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Wei Zheng with burning eyes and asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the 'Benxin' grain store has a lot of grain, and the 'Benxin' is owned by the princess's mansion, so ......"

Li Shimin squinted, how could he not understand what Wei Zheng meant.

What do you think, old fellow?

But he said indifferently: "The heart grain store is the private property of the princess's mansion, you shouldn't look for me in this matter, you should look for the princess's mansion!" ”

Before, because of the locust plague, he didn't pay much attention to the repurchase of grain from the "Benxin" grain store.

When Qin Shou borrowed money from himself and swore that he would soon be able to make a lot of money, he refused in his heart, if it weren't for Qin Shou's surprise to him about the method of exterminating locusts, he wouldn't have had the money later.

But what surprised him was that it was only a few days, and the price of food was really short and rose again.

When Li Shimin said this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to one person.

Li Shimin was also looking at Fang Xuanling, his eyes flickered, and he said in his heart: "Since Fang Xuanling can't make sense in this matter, I have to rely on you to do ideological work!" ”

Fang Xuanling was a little confused.

"Princess's Mansion? Goyang Princess Mansion? ”

Fang Xuanling can make good decisions, otherwise there would be no allusion to "Fang Xuanling".

But people have shortcomings, and their concerns and emphases are also different, and he has a surprisingly keen sense of smell for national affairs, but he rarely pays attention to family affairs.

Therefore, when everyone looked at themselves, it took half a day to react.

Wei Zheng and other ministers looked at Fang Xuanling hotly: "Fang Xiang, it seems that you have to come forward in this matter!" ”

Isn't the private property of Princess Gaoyang's family the property of your son and daughter-in-law?

"Even if the 'Benxin' grain store is from the Princess's Mansion, how much grain do they have?"

Wei Zheng said word by word: "It is said that the grain hoarded by the 'Benxin' grain store is at least 300,000 stones. ”

"Moreover, there are so many in the Chang'an area only, and the surrounding places in Chang'an have heard that the 'Benxin' grain store is also collecting grain and hoarding grain......"

Hiss!

Fang Xuanling's body couldn't help but tremble.

For a moment, I almost couldn't hold back the dripping.

Except for Wei Zheng, all the other ministers are no better than Fang Xuanling.

Nima!

They knew that the 'Benxin' grain store had a lot of food, but they didn't expect to be able to store so much.

Fang Xuanling swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in a row, and asked again in disbelief: "Wei Zheng, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Wei Zheng didn't speak, but looked straight at him.

Fang Xuanling's complexion changed completely, and it was like a thunderbolt had fallen into his mind, buzzing.

......

Until he left the palace, Fang Xuanling's brain was still a mess.

On the way home, he muttered, "Love? How can it be the second son who has been heavy on martial arts and light on literature since he was a child, and he has not learned and has no skills? ”

Fang Yiai couldn't figure it out, but then he remembered one more thing, Hou Junji had told him that many people visited Fang Yiai.

This made him believe it a little.

Is it true that the lintel of my house should be carried forward in the second son?

When he got home, he didn't care about eating, so he said to his eldest son, Fang Yizhi: "Go, find me the bereavement, I have something to ask him." ”

Fang Yizhi couldn't help but jump in his heart when he heard it, "Father, you ....... What's the matter with finding a bereavement of love? ”

Did my father know about that?

"What else can it be, it's naturally the princess's mansion."

Princess's Mansion?

Fang Yizhi's face couldn't help but change again, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat and said: "Father, I actually love him....."

"Actually, what? You don't have to be jealous, it's also a good thing that the bereavement can be born, when is it not guaranteed, our Fang family still has to rely on the bereavement love, you go quickly......" Fang Xuanling interrupted directly.

Fang Yizhi raised his head in a daze, and was confused again.

Well?

Are we talking about the same thing?

......

ps: I saw many friends say that the love of the house is too miserable, but the broth checked some official history and wild history, and found that the love of the house in history is even worse than this, and it is miserable!

The broth hurts for him, and some friends say that he will leave, but this always needs a process, and it can't be "clicked!" "Say it and leave, but, at everyone's request, the broth promises to give the bereaved love a good home later.
