Chapter 178: The Time Has Come
"Hmph, you think that you are a smart person, if you can do it directly, how can this kind of errand be our turn, I'm afraid that the court and the queen of heaven have already done it, so don't think about those messy things, just act according to a certain plan, when the time comes, it is possible to ensure that your head will not move, and even get a high-grade official body because of this." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Regarding Zhou Xing's suggestion, Duan Jian snorted coldly with disdain.
"Lang Jun's orders, the slave remembers, he must do things honestly in the future, and he will never dare to speak falsely." Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Duan Jian's gourd, Zhou Xing saw Duan Jian's calm and calm expression, and he still bowed his head and said lightly.
For Duan Jian's unexpected approach, not only Zhou Xing was puzzled, but all the people in the entire Chang'an City who understood the truth of the matter were quite puzzled.
Those wealthy families who have hoarded a large amount of grain are happy to see this, after all, the higher the price of grain, the more beneficial it is for them, and they even wish that Duan Jian's propaganda efforts are increasing, so that the people of the entire Chang'an City are completely in a panic, so that their grain can be sold more expensive.
But for those officials who are truly loyal to the imperial court, Duan Jian's move is no less than aiding and abetting, originally only a few people knew the news, but because of Duan Jian's move, the entire Chang'an City became panicked, not to mention the people who were already short of food, even if they were not short of food, under this panic, they also joined the army of buying food, which is also one of the reasons for the soaring price of grain.
In a hurry, these people wrote a note of impeachment overnight, hoping that the court could strictly investigate the matter and bring Duan Jian, the culprit, to justice, but, what is strange is that after all the impeachment notes were submitted to the court, there was no more news, Duan Jian was still beating gongs and drums every day, and the grain was collected in Chang'an City, and the price of grain was also rising every day.
In this case, it was lively for ten days, and in the ten days, compared to Duan Jian who sat in the yamen and read quietly, Chang'an City can be described as very lively, and there are many discussions in the streets and alleys, and there is only one topic for all, that is, food, and the price of food is related to food, no wonder it will be so, no matter at any time, the food problem is a big problem, how many dynasties, isn't it because the people can't eat enough to be overthrown, and now the grain price in Chang'an City has changed from the original two hundred Wen and one stone, It has grown to 800 Wen and one stone, and this is just the beginning, or because the grain shop opened by the imperial court is supplying grain every day, if you wait until a month later, even the imperial court has no food, I am afraid that this price will quickly increase by two times, three times, or even five times and ten times, which is also very possible.
"Lang Jun, what should I do now, the market has been completely chaotic, although there is Jin Wuwei's suppression, there has been no major riot, but some small frictions have become more and more, so that these days the officials of Chang'an County have arrested many troublesome people, but with the price of food getting higher and higher, the arrest can no longer be suppressed, in this way, if there is really a turmoil, it will be difficult to clean up." Zhou Xing, who had just come in from outside, was embarrassed and sweating profusely.
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Duan Jian gently put down the book in his hand, kept looking Zhou Xing up and down with his eyes, and kept tapping on the desk with one hand, half a day later, when Zhou Xing was a little hairy by him, Duan Jian said softly, "It seems that the time is almost up, it's time for us to attack." ”
East Market, Treasure Pavilion
This is the place where the Wang family specializes in fine jewelry in Chang'an City, and after Duan Jian left the Yamen, he took Zhou Xing and others here.
Along the way, seeing that the originally very lively East Market is now a little depressed, Duan Jian couldn't help but sigh a little, and said, "It is said that gold antiques are the most noble, but when it comes to the crisis, it is still the ordinary food that is the most precious thing." ”
"Lang Jun is right, who can take care of coming to the East Market to see these precious and extravagant things now, all of them are crowded outside the grain shops in the West Market, if you go to the West Market now, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the door?" Zhou Xing nodded in agreement.
Duan Jian, Zhou Xing and the others walked into the Treasure Pavilion while talking, although the entire Chang'an City is in a depression at this time, it does not mean that everyone is poor, the real poor are those who usually work more and return the least at the bottom, and for those wealthy families who exploit and oppress others to obtain wealth, no matter how big the disaster is, it is no different from usual.
Therefore, although the business of the Treasure Pavilion is more depressed than usual, there are still some ladies and ladies who choose jewelry here?
Duan Jian's arrival was quickly reported by his subordinates to Wang Bingzhong, who was sitting here.
"Hahaha, how come my nephew is free to come to this treasure pavilion today, come on, come on, please sit down, Uncle Thirteen asked someone to prepare tea and snacks for you." Seeing Duan Jian appear, Wang Bingzhong was extremely enthusiastic, not only because he had the best relationship with Duan Jian, but also because he used some of Duan Jian's means to make many businesses of the Wang family gain huge profits, and his status in the Wang family also improved a lot.
"Uncle Thirteen, you don't need dim sum and tea, this time the little nephew came to ask you for a favor." Duan Jian said with a smile.
"Ask me for help, what's the matter...... Ah, Uncle Thirteen understands, you want Uncle Thirteen to help you raise some food! "Wang Bingzhong is not stupid, as soon as he heard that Duan Jian needed his help, he immediately understood Duan Jian's thoughts, Duan Jian was appointed by the queen of heaven Wu Zetian as the ambassador to raise food, this is a well-known thing in Chang'an City, plus the huge move of Chang'an City these days, Duan Jian has once again become the center of discussion in Chang'an City, and even this name has overshadowed his name of 'poetry saint'.
"No, Uncle Thirteen, it's actually .......... the little nephew who came this time" Hearing Wang Bingzhong's words, Duan Jian was about to deny it, but before he could finish speaking, Wang Bingzhong interrupted him and continued.
"Okay, in front of your family, what is there to be embarrassed about, you can be entrusted with a heavy task by the imperial court, and it is also the glory of our Wang family, it stands to reason, we should all help you, even if you don't come to the door today, Uncle Thirteen will look for you in the next two days, okay, needless to say, our Wang family is not mainly engaged in the grain business, and there is not much grain in stock, but there are still two or three hundred thousand stone grain in the entire Chang'an City, you can use these grains first, and it is good to respond to emergencies, and we will try our best to help you raise the rest of the food, you can rest assured, Our Wang family will never watch you suffer and ignore it. ”
