527.Chapter 527
But after Sun Ku and these salt merchants left, Tang Zhou suddenly snorted coldly, and then called Ma Qing over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"At night, you and Green Calyx sneak into Sun Ku's warehouse to see if the salt in his warehouse is really as low as he said."
As soon as Ma Qing heard that he wanted him to go with the green calyx, his heart suddenly jumped up, and there was an indescribable joy.
"Don't worry, little marquis, we will definitely do it."
Tang Zhou bowed his head, he was 90% sure of the possibility of Sun Ku and others hoarding goods, but he knew very well that even if he could be sure that Sun Ku and others were hoarding goods, he would not have the right to force them to lower the price to the previous price.
The Tang Dynasty was not like later generations, there was macro control, micro control or something, basically everything was determined by market demand, and the imperial court could do very little in it, even if it was salt, as long as these salt merchants took the salt and got the salt, as long as the price was not too outrageous, it was inconvenient for the imperial court to intervene.
Judging from the current situation, although the price of salt has risen a lot, it is not really high to the point of being outrageous.
So even if he knew this, if he wanted to alleviate the crisis in Luoyang City, Tang Zhou felt that he still had to do something.
Bringing salt from other places to impact the market is the best way, but the price of salt in other places is only about the same as that of Luoyang City, and the salt merchants are very shrewd, and it is impossible to let the price increase in only one place, and these news spread so quickly, it is certain that other places will be affected.
It seems unrealistic to let other salt merchants enter Luoyang to attack the salt merchants before Luoyang City, so the only thing he can do is to break the rumors and let the people understand that there is actually not a lot of salt in Datang, they don't have to spend high prices on salt, the people don't buy salt, and the salt merchants' salt can't be sold, so they will naturally lower the price.
But how can the rumors be dispelled?
After Tang Zhou thought about it carefully, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The night was dark, the night in late spring and early summer was bright and refreshing, and after Ma Qing and Lu Cao left the Tang Mansion, they ran directly to Sun Ku's warehouse.
Ma Qing is very excited about such an arrangement, so he wants to turn his head to look at the green calyx from time to time, and sometimes he can't help but laugh when he looks at it, and the green calyx, since the last time Ma Qing gave her perfume, she has understood Ma Qing's mind, she never thought of getting love before, but slowly her heart has changed with Ma Qing's kindness to her.
However, she may have been too depressed when she was in Shi Wanfu's mansion before, and she didn't dare to express her emotions unrestrainedly.
The two of them were running on the street like this, and the green calyx was a little embarrassed by Ma Qing, so he immediately sped up, wanting to get rid of Ma Qing's eyes, Ma Qing didn't know what the green calyx thought, thinking that the green calyx was going to compete with himself again, thinking of losing to her before, this time he felt that he must not defeat again, so he immediately chased after him desperately.
Seeing that Ma Qing was stupidly chasing after her, Lu Calyx was a little speechless, but she didn't want to be caught up by Ma Qing, so she also sped up, and the two chased like a race in the night of Luoyang City, which suddenly became a landscape.
Both of them are good at light skills, and not long after chasing them like this, they came to Sun Ku's warehouse.
Sun Ku's warehouse is in the backyard of Sun's house, after the two entered, they heard the faint sound of light singing and piano music in the front yard, the sound of clinking glasses, and knew that Sun Ku was drinking and listening to music with others, the two glanced at each other, and then came to the backyard warehouse.
The backyard warehouse is guarded, with the skills of the two of them, there is no problem to solve the people guarding the warehouse, but in this way, it is a bit of a surprise, the green calyx glanced at Ma Qing with an embarrassed face, Ma Qing's eyes rolled, and whispered: "I have a way, do you have copper coins on you?" ”
The green calyx was a little strange and said, "What do you want copper coins for?" ”
"Everyone is greedy for money, I scatter copper coins on the ground, do you think they will pick them up?"
Green Calyx pursed her lips and took out about five or six copper coins from her body, when she was in Shi Million Mansion before, she used to secretly hide a lot of money, but if she acted at night, she would generally only bring a few copper coins on her body, of course, these copper coins were not used for spending, but used as hidden weapons.
After the green calyx took out the copper coin, Ma Qing also took out a dozen copper coins from himself, he flicked the copper coin with his hand, just to the place where the subordinate guarding the warehouse could see, the subordinate saw the copper coin, his eyes immediately lit up, and he picked it up at a trot, after picking up the copper coin, he hurriedly looked around, and did not see anyone, and immediately put it into his sleeve with a smile.
And just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a copper coin not far away, so he trotted over again.
So he followed Ma Qing's copper coin line to find it, and Ma Qing and Lu Cao took this opportunity to come to the door of the warehouse, because the way just now was what Ma Qing thought, so Ma Qing was very proud, but when they came to the door of the warehouse, they found that the door of the warehouse was locked again.
This stumped Ma Qing, he was good at light work, but he was not a thief, and his ability to pick the lock was not very strong, but when Ma Qing was at a loss, the green calyx opened the lock very easily.
She was originally the person around Shi Million who did this kind of thing, and it was not easy to pick the lock?
Seeing Ma Qing's stunned face, Green Calyx was very proud, but he still said angrily: "Look at it, people will come back soon." ”
Ma Qing was stunned, and then quickly entered the warehouse, Sun Ku's warehouse was very large, and the two of them were a little shocked after entering, only to see that the big warehouse was full of salt.
After seeing this, the two of them already understood, and they didn't stay long for this, and immediately left Sun Ku's warehouse.
After the two returned to the Tang Mansion, they told Tang Zhou what they had seen and heard, Tang Zhou nodded after listening, and said, "You guys go and rest, there is still a good show to watch tomorrow." ”
The two originally wanted to persuade Tang Zhou to do something to Sun Ku, but after hearing Tang Zhou's words, the two glanced at each other, and they already understood in their hearts that Tang Zhou had already thought about how to do something to Sun Ku, so they didn't say much and retreated.
The night is dark, the moon is good, and the wind is gentle.
Tang Zhou looked at the night outside, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, many times, he didn't want to be too cruel to people, but some people in this world wanted to challenge his bottom line, as if he couldn't provoke him.
For this kind of person who dies, Tang Zhou has never been soft, today Sun Ku and those salt merchants in the government said very good, and after going back, they did adjust the price, but it is a pity that the price they adjusted is too small, and it has no effect on stabilizing Luoyang City.
Since Sun Ku and the others did not listen to his words carefully, it was necessary for him to teach Sun Ku and the others how to be obedient.
