When the minister of the DPRK and China heard Wei Zhongxian's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. The Four Seas Commercial Bank is Wei Zhongxian's industry, why is this indefatigable iron rooster so generous now.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair, and the looks of the ministers below naturally looked in his eyes, and he naturally laughed secretly in his heart, but the play had to continue.

"How much grain can you have in a trading house? It is necessary to provide supplies for hundreds of thousands of troops".

"Emperor, in the entire capital, there is not only this Simon Merchant House of Slaves, but we can also buy grain from other Merchant Houses. Now that the enemy is present, I believe that the shopkeepers of those trading houses will also understand the righteousness."

As soon as Wei Zhongxian's words fell, the faces of a group of people in the court suddenly changed drastically, that was the Xungui group headed by the British public Zhang Weixian. If they still didn't understand the meaning of Wei Zhongxian's words at this time, Zhang Weixian and the others could directly wipe their necks and hang themselves, and the gloomy faces of everyone at this time could simply scare people to death.

However, the Donglin Party headed by Han Yi secretly applauded, and everyone knew that the Xungui Group had always maintained a neutral posture. Although the Donglin Party has also tried to win over many times, it has not yet succeeded. In order not to increase the number of enemies, the Donglin Party did not have any intention of moving the interests of the Xungui group. It's good now, Wei Zhongxian's words directly offended the entire upstart group.

"Now that the army has besieged the city for more than half a month, the waterways are blocked, do those trading houses have food"?

Zhu Youxiao turned a blind eye to the reaction of the nobles, in fact, Zhu Youxiao also made a risky move, betting that the nobles would not turn against each other for the sake of hundreds of thousands of loads of grain.

"Your Majesty Wei Zhongxian's plan is absolutely impossible, you must know that the commercial houses in the city can supply the people. In addition to the siege of the city for many days, the food in the trading houses will inevitably be greatly reduced, and once all of them are transported outside the city, it is very likely that the people in the city will be well behaved, and it is very likely to cause panic among the people."

For those who can not only hit Wei Zhongxian, but also curry favor with the Xungui group, the Donglin Party led by Han Yi naturally vied with each other to speak.

Cui Chengxiu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is good, you must know that Jiannu has already given birth to the idea of retiring after these two wars. Moreover, the people have the intention of storing grain, and it can be said that each household can be completely self-sufficient in food for more than a month."

Although I don't know what kind of mind my boss is, since my boss has already put it forward, I have to follow this meaning.

"There is a matter of priority, and the priority now is to get rid of the slaves. Anyway, the matter was settled, and I took 1,000,000 taels of silver from my inner money."

Zhu Youxiao also didn't want to talk to the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee anymore, for fear that his subordinates would not be able to say that they were not Donglin Party members, and they would directly come to make an arbitrary decision.

"By the way, what is the price of grain in the capital now?"

Regarding Zhu Youxiao's question, Wei Zhongxian echoed on the side: "Two two and one stone"? (Don't take anything seriously).

"Guo Yunhou"?

"The minister is here".

Guo Yunhou, who was in a daze throughout the whole process, heard Zhu Youxiao shouting his name and hurriedly went out of the ranks.

"You are the right envoy for this army's food requisition."

"Decree of the Minister".

Although Guo Yunhou has completed this mission, he is full of trepidation in his heart. He is not a hairy boy, so he naturally knows who the owner behind those commercial houses in the capital is, once he really wants to buy grain, and the price is still so low.

Guo Yunhou's sad face, Zhu Youxiao felt funny, but also felt a little scared. It can still be seen from the appearance after enjoying that although the Xungui Group is not too powerful for the court, it still has some effect on dealing with someone, especially those who are independent and alone.

"Guo Yunhou, now that you have taken over this task of fighting for good, but I still need to be in charge of the army outside the city, so I will choose a deputy envoy for you."

In order not to let Guo Yunhou be alone and become the target of everyone in the court, he thought about it for a while.

When Guo Yunhou heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he was naturally very happy, no matter who was the deputy envoy, he would definitely not implicate himself too much in the future.

"Spread the brocade clothes and make Xu Xianchun thrifty".

Guo Yunhou's face was gloomy, and the Xungui Group was the same at this time.

Due to the siege of the city, the prosperity of the capital has long been lost. Every house was closed, and even a small number of people were in a hurry, with solemn faces, and soon disappeared into the corners.

The patrol team composed of the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the officials in the yamen patrolled the main roads of the capital day and night.

The location of the Sihai Commercial Bank is the most lively place in the entire capital, and it is also rare for people to interact at this time. Several guys belonging to the Four Seas Trading House dragged their chins and leaned against the counter boredly, with no expression in their eyes, as if they were wandering into the world.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the door, and the young man's eyes suddenly regained their brightness. It's just that before he stood up, he saw Xu Xianchun and Guo Yunhou walking in gray clothes. Through the two of them, they can also see the dense flying fish suit at the door.

The young man had never seen such a formation, especially the famous Jinyiwei, and his body suddenly weakened with fright.

"Is there anything wrong with this military master?"

The guy who used all his strength stammered and said a sentence completely.

Xu Xianchun: "............ I'm really that scary."

"Call out your treasurers."

Xu Xianchun didn't want to tease this guy haha, so he said his intention directly.

Not long after, Li Fumin, who was dressed in a long robe, and two little eunuchs dressed as Dongchang fans came to the front desk.

Compared with that guy, these two little eunuchs were really active, and when they saw Guo Yunhou and the others, they hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"Shopkeeper Li, I haven't seen you for many days, but I've gained a lot of weight."

After seeing Li Fumin, Xu Xianchun patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

Xu Jian said with a smile.

The familiar conversation between the two did not cause Guo Yunhou to be strange at all. After all, the entire court knew that in order to take care of the supplies, Wei Zhongxian sent one of his restaurants to guard the warehouse. For this reason, he even directly destroyed the shopkeeper of a commercial house controlled by Cao Jixiang.

As for Xu Xianchun, who was talking, he glanced at Guo Yunhou, who was a matter of course. Seeing it like this, I secretly relieved my heart.

In fact, this was all secretly arranged by Zhu Youxiao, and its main intention was to make the entire ministers of the DPRK and China think that the Four Seas Commercial Bank was Wei Zhongxian's industry.

"Shopkeeper Li doesn't talk much, I guess you already know what Grandpa Wei means, so take us to get food."

Seeing that Xu Xianchun had achieved his goal, he opened his mouth and continued.

"The two fathers-in-law will take a break in the store first, and I will finish the matter of Wei Gong's bus first."

Li Fumin turned around and respectfully whispered to the two little eunuchs behind him.

"Since it's the ancestor's business, it is natural to do it first, and Shopkeeper Li will be busy first."
