Chapter 791 Food prices skyrocketed

Nanjing City, the temporary Chu Palace, Wang Yan hurriedly walked into the lobby, threw away the horsewhip, and sat down angrily.

Wang Fuzhi and the others also hurriedly followed, and then stood and waited for Wang Yan to finish his anger.

After a while, Wang Yan calmed down a little, and this time he could be regarded as seeing the virtues of the southeastern gentry.

As soon as this Qing soldier was defeated, he immediately began to fight for power and profit, and he was uneasy about the rules to do things, and he was insatiable.

"Judging from the current situation, the money they used this time is very huge, and the grain in Zhejiang has almost been bought out by them, and the price of grain in Nanjing has risen to three taels yesterday." Seeing that Wang Yan was calmer, Wang Fuzhi spoke.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, directly copied them and sent all these inferior gentry to prison." Liu Shun pressed the sword and said loudly.

Chen Bangyan shook his head, "There are also many Zhejiang party officials involved in it this time, and we are not Manchus, so we have no evidence to raid our homes, which is a big taboo." Besides, if you copy someone today without evidence, next time someone else will copy you without evidence, and this head can't be opened. ”

"They hoarded Juqi, harmed the people, and slandered His Highness's reputation, why can't they copy it?" Liu Shun couldn't understand the thoughts of these readers.

"Except for the Wang Gui who was just imprisoned, if you can pull out a Xie Sanbin, what evidence do you have?" Chen Bangyan said in a deep voice: "This group of people hid grain on the island of eastern Zhejiang, and Jinyiwei didn't know where they hoarded grain, how can you catch it?" ”

"Damn, according to my anger~" Liu Shun jumped to his feet angrily, but after all, he was also a person who had just been crowned a duke, and he knew more or less that he couldn't act recklessly, so he could only swallow back the words behind him, and asked helplessly: "It's so hard to see those people doing so badly that the hungry people can't eat?" ”

At this time, Wang Yan said: "Naturally, we can't let them succeed!" ”

When everyone heard Wang Yan speak, they all looked at him.

Wang Yan stood up, and the anger on his body was unabated, "The gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this is not yet sober up from the period when Donglin was in power, or is he used to thinking before, I don't know that Daming has changed masters!" Now that our Chu Party is in power, this domain will teach them how to behave this time and let them know the rules of our Chu Party! ”

Wang Yan paused, and then looked at Wang Fuzhi, "How long can Nanjing's grain be supported?" ”

Wang Fuzhi was stunned for a moment, and replied in a hurry: "Some of them have been transported from several disaster relief counties, and in addition to the official warehouse in the city, which sells cheap rice to the people of the city, several other grain numbers have risen to three taels!" Now there is a long queue outside the official warehouse, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold out for ten days. ”

Wang Yan's face sank, "The people in the city must limit their purchases, lest those inferior gentry send people to rush to buy the cheap grain in the official warehouse, and the grain numbers in the city are all supervised by the government." ”

"This should be prepared by Tianfu, every household has been issued with food stamps, with food stamps can buy cheap grain, and the grain number in the city has long been monitored by the government!"

"Xia Xiaoyin's method is good." Wang Yan nodded, and then ordered: "If there are three more points in this domain, you should do it immediately, the first is to let the Jinyi Guard find out the inferior gentry and officials involved in the hoarding, and find out which island they hid the grain on." The second is that the autumn harvest in Huguang should also be over, and you should immediately send someone to urge Li Suiqiu to squeeze out a batch of grain and send it to Nanjing. The third is also food, send people to Guangnan, tell Chen Zilong, Chen Yonghua, let them think of a way in Guangnan, at the end of October, be sure to send a batch of grain. ”

Everyone in the hall hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, but Chen Bangyan said: "Your Highness, whether it is Huguang or Guangnan, grain will not be available for a while and a half, and Nanjing's current grain storage may not last until the grain from the two places." ”

Wang Yan was silent for a moment, "It has been four years since the collapse of Donglin, and now the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not monolithic, this clan and you will go to borrow from those big households, how much you borrow, will be repaid by this domain and the imperial court!" ”

After saying that, Wang Yan walked out, and a group of relatives and guards hurriedly followed, and several people in the hall discussed a few words, and each divided a few large households, so he also picked up the black gauze hat and followed out.

A group of people out of the Chu Palace, they went their own way, for a time, they were eight immortals across the sea to show their magical powers, there is Wang Fuzhi like first talk about Confucianism, and then talk about the Wangmen Xinxue, and finally talk about the political ambitions of the Chu Party faction, ask if you want to join the Chu Party faction, if you enter, then borrow some food! Like Fang Fengnian, who has deep connections in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he is naturally familiar with it, but Liu Shun borrowed the most among these people, and his method was also the simplest, leading hundreds of personal soldiers, according to the richest street in Nanjing, hammering the door one by one, needless to say, almost every household could borrow some rice grain.

Wang Yan went out and also chose one, the official residence of Qian Qianyi, the head of the Jiangnan gentry.

During the offensive and defensive battle in Nanjing, when the Qing soldiers retreated from Nancheng, Hong Chengchou ordered to be placed under house arrest in the Fuxue, and all the gentry and nobles who had a tendency to restore their sight were cut and killed.

Qian Qianyi and his wife are kind to Wang Yan, of course, this kindness is mainly due to Liu Rus.

Wang Yan wanted to come to the door to thank him, but Qian Qianyi was seriously injured in bed, and Wang Yan and Liu Ru were a little ambiguous, even if Qian Qianyi was big-hearted, Wang Yan also wanted to avoid suspicion.

When Wang Yan and Chu party officials were running around in the city to borrow grain, in the Xitian Temple of Yuhuatai in the south of Nanjing, a person hurriedly climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the east wing of the temple.

He told him his name inside, and they opened it, then dodged into the room.

These people in the seat, in addition to Xie Sanbin, there are also Song Zhipu, and so on seven or eight people, looking at the well-dressed Su Weaving, who is absolutely rich.

Most of these people are wealthy families in the southeast, and the soaring food prices this time are controlled by these big clans.

As soon as Xie Sanbin saw the visitor come in, he asked, "How is the situation?" ”

The person who came was Longping waiting for Zhang Gongri, he and Zhao Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but he was lucky, because when Turai arrested Wang Yan in Nanjing, the Qing soldiers broke into his home and raped his daughter, so the Qing army was always worried about him, and during the siege of the city, he was also divided into nobles who had a tendency to regain his sight and put him under house arrest, so that he escaped the liquidation after entering the city.

"In the city, the king of Chu is borrowing grain from everywhere." Zhang Gongri said: "It is estimated that the grain in the city will not last long, are we ready to buy land and sell grain at a high price?" ”

Xie Sanbin smiled when he heard this, "I'm not busy, Wang Yan copied 11 million taels in Nanjing, hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land. These are our blood and sweat, and I think the price of grain can be higher even more, at least six taels of silver per stone, and we can make up for the losses we have lost over the years. ”

Song Zhipu felt that Xie Sanbin was playing a little too big, and said worriedly: "Huguang's two have also been collected, if Wang Yan brings grain from Huguang, let's not smash the grain in our hands!" I think it's better to throw it away! Don't let the King of Chu not come to the stage! ”

Xie Sanbin shook his head, "How many hungry people are there in Nanzhi, and how much grain can Wang Yan transfer." Don't worry, I have contacted more than 10 large households to go to Huguang to buy grain, and the price of grain in Huguang has also been speculated. ”

He paused, and then said in a heartfelt voice: "This is an opportunity to hit Wang Yan's prestige, and when Wang Yan falls, it will be the regent of King Houlu, isn't the world our Zhejiang?" ”
