Chapter 174: Reward
When Li Shimin heard a fart word, the flame in his heart burned again, and he held back his strength to suppress the fire.
When this Chen Shangjia asked him why, he stiffened his face and only said, "Why?" ”
"You don't want to think about it, now that prices have risen so much, are you still willing to sell goods? It's all here, what's the use of letting those traders keep an eye on it? The more they watch, the more they dare not buy or sell. ”
He paused and continued: "If you think about it carefully, everyone doesn't dare to buy and sell, and they don't want to sell silk, and someone has to buy silk on the market, the fewer people sell, the more people buy, should the price rise?" ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he was enlightened, so it was...... That Dai Guan, it was a loss to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he didn't expect this stubble.
Chen Shangjia was still chattering endlessly: "In the past, everyone did business in the East Market, and it was your will, and there was no forced buying and selling, and the cost of the transaction was not much, but the East Market and the West Market were so tossed, even if they were selling goods, they had to come here. With such a big risk, if it is just some small profits, who is willing to sell the goods? Yes, the price is ...... It's gone up again, why? Isn't it because the cost has become higher again? Do the math yourself, this back and forth, being tossed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs like this, the silk that originally rose to sixty yuan, without seventy dollars, can you still buy it? ”
"The old man said something that he didn't like to hear, there are traitors in the court, and I don't know whose evil the saint has fallen into, he actually came up with such a stupid trick, three provinces and six ministries, one came and went, in order to stabilize prices, he actually made a mayor of the east city and the west, and there was a deal, isn't this a nonsense? Now everyone is complaining, don't look at the low prices in the east and west markets, but in fact, in fact, ...... No one has been doing business there for a long time, and the original store just stayed there and pretended to deal with the government. We had no choice but to come here to do business! ”
"Thanks to that wearer, he was praised for his clean sleeves, his honesty and self-control, and his resolute and resolute actions, and I saw that the saint was blind, but he believed in his evil."
When the other businessmen heard this, they all echoed it, and said, "You wait, if you continue to toss like this, the price will rise!" ”
"If you let the government know that there is a market here, and send traders to come, everyone will have to choose other places to trade, and next time, I don't know what the price will rise again."
"The old man is planning anyway, hoarding a batch of goods, as long as the Dai Xianggong is still in place, and the price of goods is stabilized, I don't have to worry, the more he is calm, the more the goods in my hands will rise, haha...... It's also a loss to this Dai Xianggong, otherwise, I wouldn't have made a fortune. ”
Li Shimin: "......"
If it weren't for this trip, Li Shimin would not have thought of it even if he was afraid of being killed, and he was in a hurry, and the strategy drawn up by the three provinces, as well as the iron-fisted implementation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, made these businessmen who hoarded goods and strange things a fortune.
Everyone talked lively, but Li Shimin didn't say anything anymore, just sat here, no one wanted to care, drank a few sips of tea, and waited until late at night before returning to the fasting room.

"What's going on?"
Fang Xuanling is very anxious now, he was going to go back on duty, but someone soon came to Fang's house to tell him, saying that His Majesty had not returned all night.
At this time, it is already the time of the child, and His Majesty suddenly disappeared, which is a big deal.
Fang Xuanling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly found someone to discuss.
He sent someone to Erpigou, and heard that Chen Zhengtai was nowhere to be found, and the prince was not in the East Palace.
This moment made Fang Xuanling frightened.
After thinking about it, His Majesty should have gone to the market, but the question is, why has he been in the market but has not returned?
He was very worried about His Majesty's safety, so he hurriedly looked for Dai Guan.
Dai Xuan was also taken aback, but said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Gong, Your Majesty is an extraordinary monarch, don't worry about Fang Gong, no one dares to harm Your Majesty's life, the top priority at the moment is where Your Majesty went, since Your Majesty did not return all night, there must be his reason, I will summon the mayor of the East and West City and the transaction Cheng to inquire about it." ”
So he quickly summoned someone, and it was a coincidence that Liu Yan, the transaction of the East Market, had really seen suspicious people.
Liu Yan was summoned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in fear, but saw Fang Xuanling sitting on one side, his face pale.
Dai Xuan glanced at him and said, "You mean, there is a suspicious person, what does he look like?" ”
Liu Yan hurriedly described it, and then talked about a few entourages around him.
Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "It seems that this is really Your Majesty." What did he say to you? ”
When Liu Yan heard that the person he saw during the day today was His Majesty, his face suddenly turned miserable, and he was immediately afraid, so he frantically recalled whether he had said something wrong.
He thought about it for a while, and then stammered: "At that time, it was almost noon, and Xia Guan was patrolling the East Market with people, and saw someone coming out of a silk shop, Xia Guan was thinking, could it be someone doing a deal, where the duties of the Xia Guan are, how dare he leave his post without permission, so he stepped forward to interrogate, this person claimed to be surnamed Li, called Erlang, what did he say about the silk thirty-nine Wen, he asked the Xia Guan, the duties of this transaction, and the price of the East Market, Xia Guan said. ”
"All said? What did he say? Dai Xuan stared straight at Liu Yan, the deal.
Liu Yan recalled, and said cautiously: "I saw that he was very happy on his face, as if he was quite proud, and when I said goodbye to him, I walked many steps, and faintly heard him scolding the two teenagers around him, so the subordinate subconsciously turned around, and sure enough, he saw that he was very excited to scold the two teenagers, but he couldn't hear what it was." ”
Hearing this, Dai Guan's heart suddenly felt comfortable.
Really...... Your Majesty's Seeing is Believing, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this East Market, Your Majesty must be very relieved to see the East Market and the West Market like this.
Dai Zhou then asked, "Where did he go after that?" ”
"I don't know."
Dai Xuan looked at Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty has a rare trip out of the palace, and it is still a private visit, maybe ...... I just want to walk around and see, this is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and nothing will go wrong. And His Majesty has seen the performance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs with his own eyes, and the prices in this market have not moved at all, so I am afraid that this matter will be regarded as falling. ”
Fang Xuanling listened to Dai Xuan's words, and also felt that it made sense, Your Majesty's temperament, he had heard of it a little, and he was very bold, but he was thousands of people at the beginning, so he dared to take the lead and kill 100,000 troops.
After that, he became the Son of Heaven, and when the Turks attacked, he also rode alone to meet the Turkic Khan, and swore an oath with the other party, His Majesty is a great man, and there are many guards around him, so nothing will happen to him!
He sighed bitterly: "In any case, Your Majesty is a daughter, and it shouldn't be like this." But...... Since there is nothing to do, you can rest assured. ”
Dai Xuan immediately said: "Your Majesty personally inspected the East Market today, so it seems that Your Majesty must be very pleased, if what Liu Yan said is reliable, then he should be Longyan Dayue at the moment, so the lower officials are thinking, even so, the second mayor of the East City, and this transaction, this time to stabilize prices, it can be said that the hard work is high, why not know the day of the Chinese book order to reward a good price, when His Majesty returned to the palace, heard about this matter, he thought that the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Civil Affairs would do things. ”
Fang Xuanling's mind moved, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "What you said is not unreasonable, the high price of goods is Your Majesty's heart disease, and now the Ministry of Civil Affairs is heartbroken about this, since the price has been stabilized, then it should also be given a table, and tomorrow morning, the old man will explain it." ”
When Liu Yan heard this, he was very grateful and thanked him.
He gave Dai Zhou a grateful look, everyone followed Dai Shangshu to do things, it was really exciting, although Dai Shangshu was strict in governing officials and strict in official affairs, but as long as you are willing to work hard, Dai Shangshu is very willing to show credit for everyone.
Liu Yan said movingly: "The lower officials must be loyal to their duties and never let the rise in prices in the east and west markets recur." ”
"Go, go." Dai Xuan has breathed a sigh of relief, tonight, he can sleep well.
…………
But this night, Li Shimin couldn't sleep.
In this cold room, he sat on the windowsill with his clothes and did not move, his eyes looked at one place, but he could not see the focus, as if he had been thinking for a long, long time.
In the early morning of the next day, when Zhang Qian came in to report for fasting, Li Shimin got up, but said to Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian, who were already waiting for him: "We won't eat in the temple, since we are here, then ...... Let's go to the street and eat. ”
With that, he led the people out of the temple.
Although it was still early in the morning, the street was already bustling with vendors and vendors along the way.
Li Shimin stopped, walked to a cooking cake stall, looked at the hot sorghum steamed cake, and said, "How many steamed cakes are there?" ”
"Eight cents a penny." The merchant said with a grin.
Li Shimin's heart was shocked: "This ordinary commoner, even if he comes down in a day, he may not be able to earn eight cents, how can it be so expensive?" ”
The merchant's face was pulled down, and he said unhappily: "What is this, at this price now, the oil, salt, rice and noodles I need for this cooking cake, are people willing to give me less?" In my eyes, there is still a lack of Bawen. ”
Chen Zhengtai was speechless, he always had a cognition that every time Li Shimin bargained with someone, and then there was a quarrel, it was time for him to break the bill.
He tried to find a lot of copper coins, grabbed a large handful, and put them on the stall: "Twenty, okay, you are less verbose, and then long-winded, I will lift your stall." ”
When the merchant saw the money, he didn't squeak anymore, and hurriedly wrapped the steamed cake with lotus leaves and sent it to Li Shimin.
And at this time...... When I saw Li Shimin carrying steamed cakes, I didn't know where to ...... Suddenly, a group of barefoot children rushed out and flocked to Li Shimin, one by one, with wide eyes and raised their heads, looking at the steamed cakes in Li Shimin's hands, swallowing saliva.
