Cheng Chuliang's embarrassing performance made Li Yuanjing can't help but cover his eyes, his acting skills are really poor.

However, as an actor, Cheng Chuliang's professionalism is still there.

After being beaten to the board, Cheng Chuliang actually pretended to be more painful than the others, and also learned that the others lay on the ground like dead dogs and did not move, and the whole person kept moaning as if he was about to lose his breath, how pitiful and pitiful he was.

"Check it out!" Li Yuanjing lazily took care of Cheng Chuliang and said directly to Liang Yi.

Liang Yi understood, and sent people into the grain store and other surrounding stores to check.

After a lot of effort, the equipment used was brought in, and Liang Yi simply carried a bag of corn to the street to test it in public.

Since the measuring instruments are obtained from different stores, the measuring instruments used in each store are also different.

I simply filled a normal bucket with the bucket of the grain store, and then put it into a bag and weighed it with the measuring instrument of another store.

It was found that the four gauges in other stores gave four different results, but fortunately, the error was not large and was within an acceptable range.

But there is one point, capacity and weight can be converted, but if it is the same thing, take the same bucket of rice to weigh, and the conclusion drawn is naturally reasonable.

Under normal circumstances, a bucket of rice is about 12.5 catties, even if there are some deviations, it is acceptable to float up and down 0.5 catties.

However, the weight weighed by four different measuring instruments in other stores is basically up and down 11.5 catties, that is, a bucket of rice is missing at least one catty.

According to today's grain prices, 12.5 catties is equal to 400 yuan, which is converted into 32 yuan per catty, that is, according to the current price without considering any profits, a bucket of rice will pit the people 32 yuan.

And now there is no way to make money, 32 money is difficult for ordinary people to earn in ten days.

"Your Highness, the Chang'an Order has arrived!"

"Let him in!" Li Yuanjing nodded.

Chang'an Ling was stopped outside by the palace guards and couldn't enter, so he could only let the palace guards report it, even if he got the order, only Chang'an Ling was allowed to enter, and the officials he brought were still stopped outside.

"The lowly commander ordered Yang Su to see His Royal Highness King Zhao!" Yang Su's back was a little cold, and he cautiously greeted him.

In August last year, he was ordered to be killed by the angry Li Shimin because of the Yuan demon rebellion case, but fortunately, Wen Yanbo advised Yang Su not to die, and was severely reprimanded by Li Shimin to get through this catastrophe. (Actually, he was deposed from the Chang'an Order, but I really can't find who the Chang'an Order is in the second year of Zhenguan, so, you know...... ）

"Short of catties and short two, how about the law?" Li Yuanjing glanced at Yang Su lightly and asked casually.

"Back to Your Highness, the "Market Closure Order" has a saying that all traders who use fake and indiscriminate things have no officials. Those who are short and narrow will return to the master. It is also said that the officials fight privately to measure the scale, and every August the Ministry of Finance and Taifu Temple are leveled, and those who are not in Beijing are located in the state and county leveling school, and they are printed and signed, and then listened to and used. "Yang Su doesn't think, and the answer is like a stream, which is the basic criterion of every county order, otherwise it is not good at business, and it will be unlucky when taking the school examination.

"What about tampering with the scales?" Li Yuanjing listened a little big.

"Back to Your Highness, there is no such law yet!" Yang Su responded cautiously, Datang does not have a law in this regard now.

The measuring instrument must be sent to the government for proofreading in August every year, and if there is no problem, it will be stamped and stamped and taken back to continue to use.

Its laws are quite imperfect, mostly inherited from the Sui Dynasty's opening law, but the Sui Dynasty existed for too short a time, there are many loopholes, and whether the law is perfect or not, it is not the efforts of one or two emperors, but the continuous revision and improvement of many emperors for a long time, and it often takes decades, or even hundreds of years, to formulate a relatively perfect law.

Li Yuanjing glanced at the grain shop and secretly felt a little pity.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Sealed!" ”

"Your Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules......" Hearing that Li Yuanjing was going to seal the grain shop, Yang Su was sweating profusely.

He really wanted to say that you are overstepping your authority by doing this, but when facing King Zhao, Yang Su did not have the guts, and he was not qualified to intervene in this matter.

It's not impossible to argue with reason, but Yang Su can't afford the consequences of this.

The only way is to stab this matter to Yushi and let Yushi go to the emperor to impeach King Zhao, but no matter how it is calculated, now Li Yuanjing wants to seal the grain shop, and Yang Su can only be in a hurry.

"This king did something unruly, but you used the rules to solve this matter?" Li Yuanjing glanced at Yang Su, waved his hand calmly, and motioned for Liang Yi to seal the store.

"No!" Liang Yi knew what Li Yuanjing was going to do.

So he took people straight to the grain store, moved all the grain out, and asked people to borrow some carriages to load the grain and transport it away.

Whether the grain shop opens or closes the door is a ball, our Royal Highness wants food, and there is just an opportunity to grab food justifiably and save some money.

Although Yang Su was in a hurry, he didn't have anything to do.

Li Yuanjing's overstepping of his authority is only one of them, according to the law, he should first make up for the number of people sent to the people, and the rest will be unofficial.

Li Yuanjing didn't mention the matter of making up for it at all, and he was directly out of office.

And if there is no official, it should be the official of Chang'an County under the jurisdiction, and then it will be included in the official warehouse, which is the normal procedure.

"Your Highness, you might as well wait for the time being, make a number first, and then send someone tomorrow to have no officials!" The fat shopkeeper, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, said breathlessly.

Being caught by the prince is purely their bad luck.

But these things are not something he can decide, and it is impossible for these grains to be pulled away by Li Yuanjing.

If you can open a grain shop in the capital this year, can you do it without a backer behind you?

The only thing he can do is to keep the grain for the time being, let the backers behind him operate, if he succeeds, he will keep the grain, and if he fails, let King Zhao pull the grain away.

Anyway, I have done my best, and no matter what happens afterwards, I can't blame myself for this matter.

"Your Highness, behind this Chang'an grain shop is the Zheng family......" Yang Su reminded in a low voice.

"This king uses you to teach him to do things?" Li Yuanjing's face darkened, and he said sharply.

The backstage of the Zheng family is indeed hard enough, even Li Shimin doesn't dare to go too far with them, but he is also a prince or a prince, not to mention anything else, if he is cowardly at this time, how can he mix in society in the future?

The face is gone, who still listens to you, the big brother?

Therefore, it doesn't matter what kind of Zheng family he is, what this king says is water that is spilled, how can there be any reason to take it back?

Of course, Li Yuanjing, the chicken thief, will not directly block his retreat, and the Zheng family, who Li Shimin can't even provoke, can't afford to provoke himself, at least now.

walked to the side of the fat shopkeeper, and the palace guards on both sides didn't care whether the fat man could bear it or not, and directly set it up.

After thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "Go back and tell those people, this king doesn't want to care about those messy things, but since you have made mistakes, you should be punished, and this king is not an unreasonable person, and I would like to advise you, don't think about looking for this and that, in case the king has a brain disease, it will not be good to use a knife to cut people!" ”
