Rise, rise, rise!

Everything is going up except wages and the river. The sudden rise in prices made everyone feel a little foggy, even those grain merchants who single-handedly directed this play, at this time they were also in the clouds, and their hearts began to be a little anxious, if it continues to rise like this, their food may really rot in their hands.

Originally, they just wanted to teach those restaurants a lesson, and make some money back by the way, but they didn't expect that these restaurants not only bought their accounts, but were more fierce than them, and they were about to sell their meals more expensive than gold.

On the main hall.

Song Huizong sat high in the dragon chair, holding a plum blossom cake in his hand, and said: "Since I ascended the throne, it is the first time that a courtier has sent me breakfast to eat, and I am very pleased." ”

The first opening sentence of this early dynasty made the ministers a little stunned, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all asked with their eyes who gave this breakfast.

Song Huizong smiled and said, "Li Qi." ”

Li Qi stood up and said, "Weichen is here." ”

"I am very grateful for your intentions, but the plum blossom cake you gave tastes very ordinary, so it shouldn't be made by you, right?"

It turns out that this kid is doing ghost again.

Everyone began to cheer up, and they didn't know when it started, but now as long as Song Huizong and Li Qi started to answer each other, they felt cautious and panicked.

Li Qi replied: "The emperor is really powerful, and when you taste it, you will know that it was not made by Weichen." Wechen was on the way to the court this morning, and saw an old man selling this plum cake at the corner of the street, just before Wechen had breakfast, so he stepped forward to buy one or two to fill his stomach, but this past, he found that the old man's plum blossom cake was very novel, so he bought a few more and wanted to give it to the emperor to taste. ”

Song Huizong sighed and said, "Novelty? What's so new about this plum blossom cake? Why didn't I taste it? ”

Li Qi said: "Back to the emperor, although there is nothing new about this plum blossom cake itself, it can make people eat unforgettable." ”

The more Song Huizong listened, the more curious he became, and he said, "Is there such a thing? I've tasted it before, and it's not as unforgettable as you say, it's just a very ordinary piece of plum blossom cake. ”

Li Qi smiled: "It is precisely because it is very ordinary that it makes people feel incredible." Does the emperor know how much does such a plum blossom cake cost? ”

The ministers' eyes widened when they heard this, and they knew in their hearts what Li Qi was going to say.

This kid loves to play tricks, and even used a plum blossom cake to lead to a rise in prices, which is really painstaking, but this has saved the old man a lot of tongue. Cai Jing smiled slightly and began to settle down.

Song Huizong was completely in the trap, and subconsciously asked, "I don't know how much money I need?" ”

Li Qi raised two fingers and said, "Fourteen cents." ”

Song Huizong was surprised: "Just such a plum blossom cake costs fourteen yuan? There's nothing peculiar about it, is it? ”

Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, the old man also said that this Jingshi is the cheapest he sells, Weichen eats this cake, thinking about the fourteen yuan, this plum blossom cake immediately becomes extremely delicious, I don't know if the emperor feels this way?" ”

Song Huizong laughed out loud and said, "I don't feel this way, but the price of this plum blossom cake is indeed surprising!" ”

Cai Qian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that the prices in the capital have suddenly skyrocketed, each wine has been sold for one hundred and eighty yuan, not to mention pigs and sheep, and it takes a lot to buy them." ”

Song Huizong took a sharp breath and said, "This—what's going on?" There have been no wars or natural disasters recently, so why are prices rising so high? ”

Li Qi said: "Back to the emperor, this qiē is all because of food. ”

Song Huizong sighed and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Qi said: "Because the grain in the capital has been monopolized by those big grain merchants, the price is naturally what they say, and now it is the eve of the autumn harvest, the food in the hands of the people is extremely limited, they naturally fry the grain at a high price, this kind of business is very common, but the price is getting higher and higher, and now it is out of control, and all prices have risen. ”

You have a lot of money in your waist, even if you burn all the incense in Xiangguo Temple, I'm afraid you won't be able to burn you.

Song Huizong slapped the table and said, "How can this be reasonable, these Jiān businessmen dare to do this, I can't spare them." ”

Li Qi said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, only the imperial court will open a granary to release grain, impact the market, and lower the price of grain." ”

Huang Xinren hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this move must not be." He said and said to Li Qi: "Economic envoy, it's not that we are stingy, Gayin Kaifeng granary is recovering, and there is not much grain at all, so it will bottom out as soon as the granary is opened." ”

Cai You said again: "Your Majesty, the imperial court can issue an order to punish those jiān merchants and order them to lower the price of grain. ”

Song Huizong nodded slightly.

Li Qi said: "This method is inappropriate. Every line has its own rules, and although those grain merchants raise the price of grain morally and should be punished, this is also a commercial means, and if the imperial court forcibly intervenes in an unwarranted situation, it may cause a more negative impact, and in today's situation, even if the imperial court intervenes, it may be difficult to stop it. ”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers stood up against Cai You's approach, after all, they were the real big grain merchants, and if the imperial court did this, it would be extremely unfavorable to them.

Song Huizong frowned and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?" ”

Cai Jing stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is urgent to implement the new permanent liquidation system, and only in this way can this phenomenon be fundamentally eradicated." ”

This is a tacit understanding! Li Qi sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "Taishi is right, the reason for the rise in grain prices this time is because the land is in the hands of a very small number of people, if more farmers have land, then this situation will not exist, and the imperial court should take immediate measures to make the trouble permanent." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said: "Regarding the specific content of the new permanent liquidation method of economic envoys, I have already read it and think that this method is very feasible, I don't know what you Aiqing think about it?" ”

Cai Qian, Gao Yu, Bai Shizhong, Zhao Huan, and Li Bangyan all stood up to support Li Qi.

Song Huizong nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, you Aiqing will immediately discuss this law, and after three ri, I want a more detailed charter." ”

"Wechen obeys."

The ministers said in unison.

Song Huizong said: "Regarding the price of goods in the capital, the Bureau of Commerce has an unshirkable responsibility, I don't want this situation to continue, Li Qi, you must find a way to stop the price rise." ”

Li Qi hugged his fists and said, "Weichen obeys." ”

After retreating from the court, Cai Jing immediately found Li Qi and said, "This matter was also made by your kid, right?" ”

Li Qi was stunned and said, "Why did the Taishi say that? ”

Cai Jing snorted and said: "You don't pretend to be confused in front of the old man, your move is clearly to use the price rise to put pressure on the imperial court and let the imperial court speed up the change. ”

This old guy's eyes are really vicious, really, at such an old age, he should be dizzy. Li Qi sneered: "It's not a secret, I am indeed taking advantage of this price rise to speed up the process of the new law, but this increase in food prices has nothing to do with me at all, I am just helping them a little." ”

"You kid is really-hehe, it seems that anything that passes through your hands can be used for you." Cai Jing smiled and said, "But are you sure that the price of this grain will be lowered?" Even if you implement your new regular position today, it will take a long time for the RI to get results, and you still have to find a way to solve this urgent need. ”

Li Qi said: "Of course, of course, since the people can put pressure on the imperial court, then in turn, any policy of the imperial court can also cause a lot of repercussions among the people, and the price will definitely be affected. ”

Cai Jing stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and laughed: "Yes, yes, this method is really feasible." ”

In the afternoon, there were suddenly six more rice shops in the capital, and the cheap snow-white rice seemed to fall from the sky, which was pleasantly surprised, and what was even more surprising was that these more than six rice shops were all opened opposite those rice shops, which looked like a ring.

The largest rice shop in the capital is none other than the Gujia rice shop on Mahang Street, but at this time, the front of the Gujia rice shop was full of people, and it was simply crowded. However, the saddest business in the world is nothing more than not entering the door, those customers are all facing away from the Liujia rice shop, and their eyes are all locked on the newly opened rice shop opposite, but in addition to the snow-white rice, there is also a huge wooden wheel in front of the new rice shop.

"Amazing price! Amazing price! ”

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old offspring, standing in front of the door and looking at the gong, roared passionately: "Fellow villagers, my landlord saw that the price of rice was soaring, and the people of our capital could not even guarantee the most basic life, so he opened a warehouse and put grain, and only sold it for 180 yuan per bucket, 180 yuan, which is twice as low as the current grain price." ”

"Wow!"

A thunderous exclamation rang out.

The latter shouted, "How, it's low enough." However, after all, the power of our proprietor's family is very limited, and it is impossible to take care of all the people in the capital, so for the sake of fairness, the proprietor of my family implements a lottery system. I believe you have also seen this giant wheel, there are many small balls in this giant wheel, some of the small balls are written on 'have', some of the balls are written 'none', anyone who draws 'have', you can enter the store to buy rice, but each person is only limited to buy one bucket, can not buy more, this is also to allow more people to buy, I hope you can forgive me. But if we don't get any, we can only say sorry and come back tomorrow. Today we are limited to 100 customers, that is, we only sell 100 buckets of rice, and we will close when we sell out. ”
