At noon on the fifth day of the first year of Yanhe, in the autumn of August, the captain of the shooting sound entered Chang'an.

Not from time, Yu Linwei from the city gate into the city, not a moment, the captain of the tiger into Chang'an outside the city of Liushi, according to the fine willow warehouse, the period of the gate army from the construction of the Zhanggong out, the supervision of the three cities in the east.

As a result, the price of rice in Chang'an fell in response, and the effect was immediate.

All the merchants immediately adjusted the price of rice to 100 yuan a stone, and most of them did not dare to bid for half of the price.

Because, right at the door of the store, a bright sword, gun, sword and halberd have already stood up.

Several of the less clever ones had been dragged out of their shops by the army, stripped of their clothes, and hung from the gate of the market to blow the wind.

Hundreds of millions of dollars of money and thousands of gold, after all, they are invincible to the benefits of swords and guns.

Hugh said that it was these businessmen in Chang'an!

At the beginning, how powerful were the world's businessmen?

Linqiong Zhuo's family, Cheng Zheng's family, the people of Yunnan and Shu, opened mountains and mines, smelted iron and became rich, and thousands of people were rich!

The Luoyang Division, the cars and ships travel all over the world, employing tens of thousands of workers.

Linzi Daojian is known as 3,000 righteous sons and tens of thousands of disciples.

There is even Nanyang Kong, who came to Jiuqing as a merchant and was the Han Dynasty Sinon.

Back then, these tycoons, these wealthy businessmen, had so much power and wealth that they shocked China and foreign countries.

Two thousand stones cannot be made, and the princes and kings cannot be compared.

But the result?

An order was issued in an instant.

For the Liu family, as long as there is no problem with the gun, Hugh is a businessman, and the princes, kings, princes, ministers, and doctors are not afraid together.

And so, the carnival began.

Hundreds of people, happily taking the money, entered the market, and bought and bought one after another.

The people of Zhuxia have been simple and cunning since ancient times, and honest and shrewd.

As a result, evaluations have always been polarizing.

In the same place, perhaps the scholars and doctors will sigh that 'the people are simple and simple, and there is the style of the ancestors', while the officials gritted their teeth and scolded 'the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people!' ’

Now it is also average, and everyone knows very well that the harvest in Guanzhong is poor, and the price of this grain will definitely rise.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, the masses bought and bought one after another.

Like Li Er, he not only took out all his savings, but also brought the cloth from his home, came to the market, and bought grain when he saw it.

Anyway, with the support of the Son of Heaven and the protection of the army, he is not afraid of losses.

But it was a bitter businessman in Chang'an, and everyone was sad.

Soon, the stock of grain in the various shops was sold out.

The merchants, distressed and rejoicing, began to prepare to close their doors and then go home and hide for a few days.

Wait for the wind to pass and see the situation.

But......

How can it be so easy?

Do you want to close the door?

The soldier at the door, carrying a sword, walked up: "According to the edict of the Son of Heaven, those who do not sell will be punished as 'cunning and unreasonable', and those who hide food, once verified, will be punished for 'deceiving the king'!" ”

In short, it is a sentence: if you want to close the door, you can! Let me check first, is there any food in your house and in the house and warehouse under your name?

If so, then I'm sorry.

You've broken the law.

The offender is called 'bullying the king', and the minimum punishment is to confiscate the family property, and after the completion of the city, he will go to Juyan to repair the earth......

And if it is verified, do you intend to sell it?

Hehe, that's a great sin of 'cunning and unreasonableness'.

I want to connect the three clans!

The businessmen changed color in an instant, and they wanted to cry without tears.

can only make a bitter face and say: "The villain is not closed, not closed, but there is no food in the store, so he goes home to get food......"

Do you think you'll be able to find a way out?

The soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately carefully expressed their willingness to help the righteous merchants transport grain.

In short, want to procrastinate, want to prevaricate, and even want to find an opportunity to slip away?

There are no doors!

So, soon the whole market was filled with grain.

One batch was sold out, and another batch was shipped, so that Chang'an Shimin felt that he was thinking wrong?

It seems that there is so much food that it can't be sold at all?

As a result, the panic gradually dissipated, and the people's sentiment began to stabilize.

Looking at this situation, the young scholars and doctors in Chang'an and the children of the ministers who participated in the book were satisfied.

"This is the power of our generation, the power of righteousness!" Many of the scholars' faces flushed with excitement.

By doing our part, we will change the world and help the people with righteousness.

This kind of thing, which was once only in ideals and fantasies, is now shining into reality and happening in front of our eyes.

It's simply amazing!

Especially the children of the minister, they are excited to sing a song.

Many people first participated in this matter, but as soon as their brains were hot, they happily joined in, and they didn't really think that they would succeed.

But now, success is on the horizon.

It makes them so happy.

Confucius said: Virtue is not lonely, there must be neighbors.

Mencius said: There is more help for the righteous and little help for the unjust.

The education of the sages is indeed right.

The young people, who are full of hormones and hope for a better future, are immediately fluttering.

They began to point out the country and stir up the words.

Of course, scolding the merchant by the way is a common topic for all Confucian scholars.

And the people of Chang'an also joined in one after another, vigorously whipping and spitting on the profiteers.

In the eyes of many people, the high price of grain in Chang'an is clearly caused by the hoarding and malicious speculation of profiteers.

Especially those people who used to pay high prices for grain gritted their teeth against the profiteers.

You see, there is so much grain on the market that it can't be sold, and there is a shortage of food?

The soaring public opinion immediately fermented, exerting great pressure on the court.

It's just that......

When many people didn't pay attention, Shao Fuqing and Da Si Nong entered.

Before the closure of the nine cities of Chang'an, these two monsters opened their bloody mouths and ate all the store's stored grain.

Then, under the coercion of the army's swords, guns, and halberds, the merchants of the market had to go and transfer grain again.

Anyway, under the national policy of arranging households and people, the families behind these businessmen can't run away at all.

Not to mention, in fact, many grain merchants are white gloves of the princes and ministers wearing the skin of grain merchants.

In the past, the state did not check and did not bother to check.

However, now, under the spur of the Son of Heaven, the entire Dasi Nong, Shaofuqing, Taichang, Zongzheng, and Zhijinwu and other Yousi are all running at full strength, and their eyes are widened.

As a result, everything was immediately exposed to the country's vision.

Then, the masters behind these merchants were called to Jianzhang Palace or Changle Palace, where they were received by the Son of Heaven or the Empress to comfort and talk.

In short, in a word, now that the country is in difficulty, Qing, as the secretary of the Han Dynasty and the world, should be the first in the world and set an example.

Just like Emperor Taizong back then, he comforted Zhou Bo: Qing Su is the most important thing, and he is the first in the world.

In other words, if Aiqing doesn't want to be 'the first in the world', then it is not 'my minister'.

The princes and lords immediately sat on wax.

In the past, they relied on all kinds of means to knock out the bones and marrow of the people, and did everything they could.

Now, the imperial power is gone, and they are also knocked out of the marrow.

It was only at this moment that they truly realized the helplessness and pain of the powerless people.
