Chapter 10 Stabilizing Food Prices III
"Hehe, the price of grain has risen to this point, and the government still hasn't made any big moves, it seems that chaos in Henan is inevitable!" Cai Wenyuan, who also rushed to Kaifeng to sit in the town, smiled and smiled.
The current Kaifeng City is like a game field, where all forces are dormant, and the situation is collectively optimistic about everyone, but it is a pity that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and no one thought that all this is Shen Daren is fueling the troubles, what he wants is that things must be reversed.
Ma Wu also smiled, glanced at the brothers and smiled: "Yes! The price of grain has approached one or two cents of silver and one stone, far beyond the people's ability to bear, as long as our people take the lead in looting, the people who are already hungry and hungry will definitely be in chaos, and once it is chaotic, Henan and North will be completely chaotic, and then counting the victims of this disaster, it will be easy to gather 100,000 people in a short period of time! ”
"The Yellow River is rebelling against the world, and the prophecy of hundreds of years ago will be fulfilled again, and the Ming Dynasty can be described as a success, a failure, and a failure, hahaha!" Serang-kun smiled proudly.
"That's right, now that everything is in place, we just owe us another east wind, immediately send a message to the lurking people everywhere, and lead the riots and rob the grain stores around tomorrow morning, success or failure in one fell swoop!" Cai Wenyuan got up and ordered, and several King Kongs present immediately got up and hugged their fists, something big can be expected!
"Hehe, it's done well, it's higher than the price the official thought!" As soon as he heard the little third son say that each stone of grain was sold for 750 wen, Shen Chongming couldn't help but nod and laugh, so as to directly push the other party's grain price to 400 wen and one stone, they will lose their capital greatly, especially the debt of more than 200,000 taels Hu Yingjia, this time we will let him put the coffin book in.
"My lord, now that everything is in place, when will we do it!" I have to say that Xiao Sanzi is a talent, how long has it been, Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop is centered in Hangzhou all over the south, this time it can transport nearly one million stone grain from Jiangxi into Henan in a short period of time, and Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop has made great contributions, so those big grain merchants in Jiangxi are all looking forward to Xiao Sanzi's horse, and when it will open, listen to his words.
"It's been so long, and the people have long been forced to be red by food prices, and it's a blessing that they didn't mess up in advance!" Saying this, Shen Chongming was inevitably afraid for a while, he was also taking risks in this matter, once the people couldn't bear the pressure of food prices and messed up in advance, it would be a waste of all their efforts, and they would make such a big mess, and they would have to go around without food.
"Without further ado, tell them immediately, and sell it tomorrow as soon as the sky is bright, remember, the price of grain is 500 yuan per stone, if anyone gets dizzy and increases the price on their own, the official will make them cry!"
"Yes, the little one will be arranged!" The little third son responded with a fist clenched, and trotted out of the door with the fat on his stomach.
"Second egg!" Shen Chongming turned his head to look at Ma Erdan: "Pass my order, all the people in Jinyiwei will move early tomorrow morning, and block the door of the local grain store in Henan according to the previous plan, so that their reputation will be completely stinky, and they will not be able to sell a single grain!" ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it!" Ma Erdan sneered and hugged his fists, and a price war that was sure to win finally began.
In the capital, Emperor Longqing also had trouble sleeping, Liu Shouyou, who was dressed as a guard, stood quietly beside him, and Shen Chongming's plan was also prepared in front of the emperor, otherwise how could he easily mobilize the forces of the local government to pave the way for his plan.
"Liu Aiqing, how sure you say Shen Aiqing is successful this time!" Emperor Longqing looked back at Liu Shouyou and asked.
Liu Shouyou knew what Emperor Longqing was worried about? Hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "Although the emperor can rest assured, according to the news just sent back, Jiangxi's million-stone grain has entered Henan, even if Lord Shen's plan is wrong this time, it will not cause any big disaster!" ”
"Well, that's fine, but I've been thinking about it for the past few days, why did Shen Aiqing do this? Just take all the officials who participated in the greed for ink, and there is no need to go to great lengths to take out the money they are greedy for! Emperor Longqing was a little puzzled, estimating that except for Shen Chongming himself, most people thought that he was doing something extraordinary.
"Your Majesty, what it means is that Lord Shen mentioned a little to Weichen in the letter, saying that the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court this year can only allow the affected people to suffer until the beginning of spring next year, and then need to allocate a large amount of money and grain to continue disaster relief, the reason why he went to great lengths to do this is to keep the grain price in Henan to the lowest, and use the existing silver to buy the disaster relief food needed next year, so that the annual affairs will not have to worry about the court anymore!" Speaking of this, Liu Shouyou couldn't help laughing, this Brother Shen is worthy of being in business, so he left hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the court at once, with such a courtier, the emperor will not be happy if he wants to!
"Hehe, Shen Aiqing, who knows my heart!" Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction, and then his expression darkened: "Alas! If all the ministers of the court and the central government can share their worries like Shen Aiqing, why should I not worry about the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties tomorrow! ”
This topic is a bit big, Liu Shouyou laughed dryly twice without making a stubble.
"But those corrupt officials and corrupt officials must not be let go, once this matter passes, those who should be arrested will be arrested, those who should be killed must be killed, and these scourges must be eliminated!" Emperor Longqing raised his head and said coldly.
"Yes, please rest assured, the evidence of these people's crimes has been collected by my Jinyi Guard, just wait for the matter to pass, and they will all be arrested!" Liu Shouyou holds his fists, and he is not as good as Brother Shen in business, but he is still inferior to himself in handling cases, especially in this kind of collecting criminal evidence.
In the early morning, it seems that the sun in Kaifeng is rising a little late today, and the sky is just gray and hazy, and busy crowds begin to appear in the streets and alleys.
Hu Yingjia also got up early in the morning, washed his face and changed into civilian clothes, and took a few entourage guards to the street.
"Hey, what's wrong!" Looking at the counter not far in front of him surrounded by people, Hu Yingjia couldn't help but be stunned.
The long attendant next to him was a clever person, and he didn't answer, he just raised his feet and ran over to check, going fast and coming back faster.
"Big, big, big, oh no!" Chang Sui's face was miserable, and he stood tremblingly in front of Hu Yingjia speechless, sweating profusely.
Hu Yingjia was stunned for a moment, and then thought of a terrible result, which was also what he was most worried about before he didn't trade with Zhejiang merchants yesterday.
Shaking his head and throwing this terrible thought out of his mind, Hu Yingjia asked sharply: "Tell me quickly, what are you doing when you fall to the ground in front!" At this time, he didn't dare to come forward to check it out for himself.
"My lord, the front is selling grain!" Chang Sui is Hu Yingjia's confidant, otherwise he would not have been able to follow Hu Yingjia's side, and he knows all the things that his own adults do.
"What? Selling grain, who is selling! Hu Yingjia's face changed in an instant.
"I don't know!" Chang Sui shook his head and said with a bitter face: "But the price of their grain is five hundred wen and one stone!" That's what scared him.
Hu Yingjia's pupils dilated instantly, and his originally somewhat uneasy heart immediately shook violently, and the muscles on his face twitched
