Chapter 353: Jiangnan Journey (5)
The restaurant was seized, Wuyang City was clean in the end, and Drunken Xianju had no opponents at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, according to Liu Si, whether there are other restaurants, in fact, the military department is important, which does not affect the development of Zuixianju's business, the sales are already saturated, only they can't be sold, and there is not enough to sell.
But in comparison, of course, it's better to clean up those people, so that you don't have to worry about it in the future.
With Hu Ran's help, Luo Yi's trip to Jiangnan this time can be described as smooth sailing, the seller of drunken immortal wine was caught, and the store was also closed, and then Hu Ran called a lot of grain merchants to meet Luo Yi in Zuixianju.
The leader is a young man, about twenty years old, named Huangshi, who is the president of the Jiangnan Provincial Grain Chamber of Commerce, and all grain transactions must pass through his hands.
Everyone sat down, and Huang Shi said, "Master Hou, do you want to sell grain or buy grain?" I, a grain merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, will definitely help each other. ”
Huangshi was refreshing, and he showed his heart at once.
The rest of the members of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce also expressed their attitudes, whether Luo Yi was buying grain or selling grain, they would do their best to help.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Luo Yi said with a smile: "Ben Hou has just arrived, and I hope you will help me a lot." ”
"As early as Chang'an, Ben Hou heard that Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, is the granary of the Tang Dynasty, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its name, with you here, Ben Hou's trip to Jiangnan will definitely be able to return with a full load."
Huang Shi asked, "Don't you know, how much food does Master Hou need?" ”
"I'm going to..."
Luo Yi thought about it carefully, he had more than 80,000 taels in his hands, and in another month, he should have more than 40,000 loads, that is, 120,000. In this way, there is only a difference of 180,000.
Luo Yi said: "180,000 quintals, as long as there is food, I will buy it all." This is an errand given to me by the emperor, and I dare not slack off. ”
"One hundred and eighty thousand..."
Everyone gasped, although they are big grain households in Jiangnan, but this number is too big, and no one has so much in their hands.
If in June, the season of grain harvest, you can still make up for it, but now it's only March, where to make up?
"What, what's the difficulty?"
"No, no, no, there are no difficulties, but I don't know, when will Master Hou need it?"
"The sooner the better, of course."
Huang Shi looked at the other extremely grain merchants present, as if he had the intention of asking. After all, 180,000 is not a small amount, if you rashly agree and can't get it out at that time, you will lose your trust.
After a burst of eye contact, finally, several other grain merchants nodded one after another.
Huang Shi strengthened his courage, patted his chest and said: "Okay, within half a month, we will definitely prepare 180,000 grains!" ”
"Master Hou, don't worry about food, but at this price..."
Luo Yi said: "You can rest assured that the price will be paid according to the market price." It's not that I want to buy food, but the emperor, do you think, will the emperor owe you money? ”
"Haha... Thank you so much. ”
The market price is only three cents and one bucket, even if it is 180,000 quintals, it is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, compared with Luo Yi's 10,000 family wealth, it is simply not enough.
The only thing Luo Yi doesn't understand is the price of food, why can't it always go up, is it really only three wen and one bucket, in the future, the food in the small world will come out, and it will have to be sold, at that time, if you say three wen and one bucket, Luo Yi can't help but feel distressed.
Of course, at this time, Luo Yi will not discuss the price increase with the grain merchants, even if he wants to raise it, he will have to wait until the 180,000 quintals are bought.

After Liu San and others were arrested, they have been detained in the Wuyang City Government.
Hu Ran looked at the other prisoners in the cell, and finally selected a group murder case, and designated Liu San and others as accomplices in the murder case.
As for how to make these people subjugate, Hu Ran has a way, but there is no need to worry.
That night, Hu Ran took a few officials to the cell unconsciously, took Liu San and a dozen other people to the innermost room, and asked the officials to bring up all the torture instruments, and then prepared to start copywriting.
This room is located in the innermost part of the cell, and no one can notice it except the condemned prisoner, and there is no one else around, so it can be said that it is the best place to use lynching.
Hu Ran has promised to help Luo Yi, of course he will not regret it, and 50,000 taels of silver is not so easy to earn.
"Liu San, how did you kill people with Wu Yong and other bandits, and you recruited them from the truth."
Wu Yong is referring to one of the death row prisoners, a murderer who was imprisoned, specializing in killing people and collecting money and silver, and was captured by Hu Ran in the last killing.
According to the regular procedure, in another half a month, Wu Yong will be beheaded, and even the official document of the Criminal Department has been sent.
But now, because of Hu Ran's extraneous branches, something has happened, and an accomplice has emerged for no reason.
Liu San is not stupid, he knows that Hu Ran wants to frame him, and as soon as Luo Yi came, Hu Ran completely fell to Luo Yi's side, ready to abandon him.
Liu Sandao: "My lord, I want to see Lord Li Hengbin, I can only tell him the facts of the case." ”
"Li Hengbin? What are you trying to say? ”
Hu Ran sneered and sneered: "You are so stupid, how could I let you see Li Hengbin." ”
"Liu San, let me tell you the truth, your 50,000 taels of silver, Lao Tzu will eat it, and what you eat will never be spit out; Hou Ye went to Jiangnan and named you by name, but I couldn't help it, even if I wanted to save it, I couldn't save it. ”
"Even if you don't confess your guilt tonight, you won't live to dawn, the official's methods, you should understand, I advise you to invite them truthfully."
At this time, a dozen other people who were hanging in the cell shouted: "Ah... Help me.... ”
"We want to see Master Li."
"I want to see Master Li."
..........
Everyone knows that Li Hengbin was a clean official, he has always distinguished between public and private, and he is the master of the people, compared with Hu Ran, there is a world of difference, at this time, I am afraid that only Li Hengbin can save their lives.
Hu Ran clearly wants to announce his personal vendetta, and he is in charge of this matter.
It's a pity that Hu Ran won't let them get their wish.
"Want to see Li Hengbin? It's not that easy. First eat the torture equipment of my Jiangnan Provincial Government, and then say.... ”
Hu Ran snorted coldly: "Come on, let them taste the clamp stick first, let them know how powerful Master Ben is." ”
"Yes."
A total of more than two dozen soldiers picked up the clamping stick from the ground, forcibly clamped it on the prisoner's palm, and pulled it with a rope, ready to exert force. As long as you pull gently, you can feel the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, causing the palm to be squeezed sharply.
"Execution!"
Hu Ran was expressionless and shouted.
At the same time, two dozen soldiers, with simultaneous force on their hands, pulled the rope tight.
"Ahh Don't clip, don't clip.... ”
"Ahh Don't clip it, we'll say everything. ”
........
In less than three breaths of time after being sentenced to the stick, half of the dozen or so people were soft on the spot, and they couldn't stand the pain and expressed their willingness to confess.
