Chapter 9 Li Feng Begins to Show His Might

Li Feng did not doubt that he said again: "As long as the imperial court can let Lao Li and Lao Fang be officials, I am willing to sell grain to the imperial court at a low price, and at the same time help the imperial court lower the price of grain." ”

Tang Jian took a deep breath, he finally knew why the emperor had asked him to agree to Li Feng's request and hide their identities.

"Okay, I promise you. What more could you ask for? ”

Li Feng said: "The current grain price is estimated to have risen a little more, what price do you think you can buy my grain?" ”

Tang Jian frowned, good guy, a businessman who dares to let himself pay for things, I'm afraid this is the first one.

"I am not satisfied with you saying that there is not much silver in the treasury, 3.5 million stone grain, how about I give you 500,000 yuan?" Tang Jian stretched out five fingers and said.

Li Feng was a little dumbfounded, and forgot to reply for a while.

This made Tang Jian think that Li Feng was not satisfied, although the price was more than twice as high as before, of course, it was much cheaper than the current one, too much.

"If you're not satisfied, I can discuss it and add a little more, but I really can't add too much."

"No, that's enough, it's 500,000. For the rest of the money, I can ask the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce to come out, but I need help from adults. Li Feng said

"Oh, you still have this ability, let's hear it, what can I do to help?" Tang Jian asked curiously, interested in Li Feng.

Li Feng said: "My lord's connections, I need Shaoqing of Dali Temple to help me and go to the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce with me." ”

Tang Jian seemed to understand something, and said, "You want to use Wang Yuan to arrest you and blackmail them?" ”

"Almost, I just don't know if Lord Tang is willing to help."

"Help, you can help. But how can the price of food bring it down? Don't tell me to arrest people and seal the shop, if it is feasible, the official would have done it a long time ago. Tang Jian said.

"My solution is very simple, it is to fight a price war."

"Fight a price war?"

"That's right, we currently have 3.5 million stone of grain in our hands, and we will put 1 million stone into the market, and the price will be set a little higher, 30 yuan per bucket." Li Feng said lightly.

This scared Tang Jian, who originally felt that he had mastered everything, to cough again and again.

"Ahem, ahem...... Are you, are you suppressing food prices, or are you raising them? ”

In response to Tang Jian's question, Li Feng smiled and said: "At present, the market is twenty dollars a bucket, and the price is already very high, but the grain in Chang'an still flows very little.

Grain merchants, both large and small, felt that the price would rise again, so they all held on to the grain and did not sell it. Therefore, the first thing we did was to get all the grain merchants to start selling their grain.

The second step is to fight a price war, I sell 30 wen a bucket, and it is estimated that other grain merchants will also sell 30 wen a bucket.

But the next day, Lord Tang sells grain at 25 cents per bucket, so I will follow the price reduction, and ask if other grain merchants will reduce the price? ”

"Yes, definitely, if they don't lower the price, their food can't be sold at all, and they will lose money if they hold it in their hands."

"Lord Tang is wise. When the price of grain in the market became 251 dou, I don't know who lowered the grain price to 20 wen 1 dou, then 15 wen 1 dou, then 10 wen 1 dou, and finally lowered the price to restore the original price. Li Feng said lightly, but he gave me Tang Jian on the side, and he was shocked.

After a long while, Tang Jian came back to his senses and said, "Li Feng, your idea is a good idea, what if there are grain merchants who buy our grain after we lower the price of grain?" ”

"Lord Tang is too worried, this will never happen."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because this is the iron law of the market, the only thing that can break this iron law is monopoly, for example, there is only one grain merchant in the whole Chang'an, and he is not allowed to have a second grain merchant, and then I will worry that my grain will be bought by others.

Now there are a lot of large and small grain merchants in Chang'an, as long as the price fluctuates, does Lord Tang think they will be panicked? ”

"Yes, they will, even if they know that someone is arranging it, they don't have any way at that time, this is a conspiracy, no, it's Yang, the upright Yang." Tang Jian said excitedly.

Li Feng said with a smile: "Since Lord Tang thinks there is no problem, let's start making preparations next." ”

"Okay, what do we do first?" Tang Jian hurriedly asked.

"Find a grain merchant to sell grain, this kind of thing, we can't let us do it ourselves."

"You are too worried about this, there are many businessmen in Chang'an, and the official has a word, and some businessmen help the official sell grain."

"Although ordinary businessmen are okay, but having a person with a high reputation as a leader, I believe they will be even more flustered."

"Okay, which one are you going to look for?"

"Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, they already have a lot of grain stores, as long as Lord Tang arrests Wang Yuan and locks him up for ten days, I only need ten days."

Tang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

……

"Damn, I didn't expect Tang Jian to come forward. caused Lao Tzu to lose a lot of money. Wang Yuan said angrily.

Lin Jian flattered: "Brother Yuan, does my uncle know about this matter?" ”

"Let my father know, I can still stand here, I have already been beaten back to the Taiyuan Wang's house." Wang Yuan said angrily.

Lin Jian sneered and said: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, I have asked people to inquire clearly, which Li Feng is not from the Li family in Longxi at all, he pretended to be a person from the Li family in Longxi and bought so much food, not only offended the Wang family, but also offended the Li family."

The younger brother thinks that it is better to let someone notify the Li family and let the Li family deal with Li Feng. ”

"Smack."

Wang Yuan looked at Lin Jian with a calm face, and suddenly, he suddenly raised his right hand and slapped Lin Jian hard.

Lin Jian spun around in place where he was beaten, then covered his face, and said in disbelief and grievance: "Brother Yuan, why did you beat me." ”

"Stupid pig, if you let the people of the Li family know that I was deceived by a person pretending to be the Li family, do you think I still have face, not only am I embarrassed, but the face of the family is also lost by me, maybe the family will send me to Lingnan."

When Lin Jian heard this, his body trembled, and he said in fear: "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, it's the little brother who didn't think it through, but can Brother Yuan swallow this breath?" ”

"If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it, Tang Jian has come forward, and if we deal with Li Feng again, that is, we will not give face to the court, not to the point of last resort, or don't tear your face with the court." Wang Yuan said a little dejectedly.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, doesn't he still have a tavern?" How about we just cut off their goods and have another tavern across from them? ”

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Okay, haha, great, you can arrange this matter." It is done, and I will say good things to you in front of my father. ”

"Thank you, Brother Yuan."

After solving his mind, Wang Yuan happily left the county government and walked to the Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, Li Feng appeared in front of Wang Yuan.

"Boy, I didn't look for you, but you came to the door, come here, come on, arrest him for me."

"What a bold man, he even shouted to arrest people in front of Ben Shaoqing. Who gave you the guts. ”

An official appeared in front of Wang Yuan, looking at him with a blue face and cold eyes.

Wang Yuan didn't expect an official to be here, so he immediately bowed down and said, "The grass people have seen adults. ”

The official ignored him and said: "This official is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Tang Ning, someone accused you today, saying that you colluded with officials and businessmen and wronged others, now follow me to Dali Temple." ”

"What?" Wang Yuan was taken aback, immediately understood, and pointed at Li Feng and said: "My lord, he was wronged, it was him, he wronged the villain, and please let the adults know it!" ”

Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "Is it wronged, this official will investigate, now, this official will give you time to explain the matter of the Chamber of Commerce, and then go with this official to investigate this matter." ”

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Wang Yuan knew that he couldn't get around, so he explained a few words to the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and went to Dali Temple with Tang Ning.

After arriving at Dali Temple, Wang Yuan also found Lin Jian.

Tang Ning looked at them and said, "I don't need to say more about whether the two of you are colluding or not. ”

"Adult, wronged, villain......"

"Shut up, whether there is a wrongdo, you and I know it in our hearts."

"My lord, I am from the Taiyuan royal family, please ......"

"Just because you are from the Taiyuan Wang family, the official personally looked for you and didn't let the official come to arrest you."

Tang Ning interrupted Wang Yuan's words twice.

"Wang Yuan, Lin Jian, you two don't have to quibble, this official asked you to come to Dali Temple, just to tell you that this matter can be big or small, it depends on how you choose."

"The villain chooses the small." Wang Yuan said immediately.

Lin Jian also spoke: "Xiaguan also chooses to be small. ”

Tang Ning said with satisfaction: "Very good. Wang Yuan, you compensate Li Feng 100,000 yuan, and hand over the grain store of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce to him for fifteen days to sell grain. ”

"One hundred thousand? Too many adults, right? As for the grain store handing over grain to him to sell for fifteen days, I have no opinion. Wang Yuan was a little unconvinced.

Tang Ning sneered: "I know that if you are not convinced, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, those who defraud others of money and property for more than ten times will be fined ten times, those who will be fined one hundred times will be punished thousands, and those who will be fined ten thousand times will be fined." If you follow this law, how much should you be fined? ”

"This ......"

Tang Ning's words made Wang Yuan's heart tremble, if this loss continues, the entire Wang family will be gone, and at that time, he will definitely be an abandoned son and abandoned by the family.

Now that he can settle it with only 100,000 yuan, he doesn't dare to speak anymore.

Tang Ning saw that Wang Yuan didn't dare to say anything, sneered, and then looked at Lin Jian: "Lin Jian, you also have to hand over 100,000 yuan to Li Feng, in addition, you are an official of the imperial court and the crime is added to the first degree, but this matter is a big matter, you can resign." ”

Lin Jian sat on the ground and fainted, no official body is equivalent to losing everything.

"Come on, take Lin Jian and Wang Yuan to get the money."

"Yes."

Immediately, several clerks and officials from Dali Temple took Wang Yuan and Lin Jian to get the money.

Li Feng, who had been looking at Li Feng from head to toe and didn't speak, felt that this was really too child's play, there was no evidence, just because of your official position, what you say is what you say, which made him lose some confidence in the officialdom of feudal society.

In their hearts, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others are functional, diligent and love the people.
