Su You listened to Wei Yongchang's words, and finally realized the strict nature of the problem, and his mind seemed to be stuffed with paste for a while.

Seeing that Su You's face was a little ugly, Mai Tiezhu couldn't help but call out softly, "Hengbo? ”

Su You was awakened by the wheat iron rod from his contemplation, and then nodded to Wei Yongchang, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, you go on." ”

"There are a lot of pastry coupons issued, and the small ones also feel that the money is coming too quickly, and they are always afraid that one day they will have a big event, but when they think of the original land of fish and rice in Jiangdu County, where can the food go up again? In this way, another half a year has passed, and the small ones have sold nearly 100,000 pastry coupons during this period."

100,000 in half a year, an average of nearly 20,000 in a month, Wei Yongchang's courage is not small, but this is obviously not the key.

Su You asked for a while, "Then how much did you take back?" How much does your pastry shop produce per day? ”

"About half of the recoveries, in fact, if the small store does not stop working from morning to night, it can produce about five or six hundred boxes a day, and it can usually redeem more than three hundred boxes every day." Wei Yongchang thought about it carefully, and then replied.

"In other words, you have about 50,000 coupons that you haven't recovered yet, and you can only produce one percent of these coupons, didn't you think that one day these people with pastry coupons would come to your shop at the same time to run on them?" Su You sneered, fortunately, it is an ancient society now, if it is in the later life, it is estimated that Wei Yongchang has already absconded with the money.

Wei Yongchang was depressed, and said with some despair, "When I knew that this situation would occur, it was too late."

Su You nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"In the previous winter, the grain price in Yangzhou was affected by the grain price in the eastern capital, and there were several small fluctuations, and the prices of various coupons on the market in Yangzhou also changed with some changes. Among them, there are even those powerful money banks who see that they are profitable, not only rely on their own capital to get a piece of the pie, and easily manipulate the price, but also accept the mortgage of various coupons from the people and give up the profits. ”

Since the birth of this new thing in the eastern capital in the summer of the second year of Daye, because of the tacit approval and support of Yang Guang, it has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, among which the Dongdu Qianzhuang led by Yang Ying and the Qijun Qianzhuang led by Xia Gao are among the leaders.

Dongdu Qianzhuang and Qijun Qianzhuang have now almost realized the nationwide deposit and exchange, and of course a city as big as Yangzhou also has their semicolon, but is this stock manipulation related to them?

If this matter is related to Yang Ying, then what should be your position?

Su You didn't dare to think about it, but sighed and said, "They have a large number of pastry coupons, which is equivalent to controlling your pastry shop, and you can guess the next thing without saying it." ”

"At first, the villain wanted to resist and use cash to recycle all the pastry coupons that were sold, but those who held the coupons began to threaten us that whoever dared to disobey the manipulation would be killed. People pluck a hair thicker than our thighs, how can we compete with them? In fact, now, the entire Yangzhou City has been kidnapped by them, and they have the final say on how much things are worth and how many coupons should be issued. ”

After Wei Yongchang said this, he knelt down solemnly, and then kowtowed to Su You and said, "The villain was not greedy enough for a while, and embarked on this road of no return, and he who was willing to bear a sin is just the hard work of the villain's ancestors for decades, please ask the angel to help preserve the signboard and reputation, or the villain is really shameless to face the ancestors under the Nine Springs." ”

"If you think of your ancestors, you shouldn't just think about money." Su You nodded and motioned for him to get up.

After Wei Yongchang got up, Su Youcai seemed to remember something, and then said to Mai Tiecane, "By the way, big brother, our fundraising is over, you go and order Zhao Xin to take people to collect the grain from house to house." ”

Mai Tiezhu wiped his forehead, and then smirked, "Look at me stupid, yes, then I'll do this, then you?" ”

"I'll go and inspect the newly repaired wharf later, and although disaster relief is the focus now, it can't delay my business." After Su You said this to Mai Tiecane, he said to Wang Shichong, "Okay, you also go with Mai Yuanjun, by the way, by the way, invite Lu Sheng and Xia Ziwei brothers and sisters to me." ”

Mai Tiecane then said goodbye and left, Wang Shichong was still a little worried about Su You's comfort, so he had to leave a few people for Su You.

Su You waved his hand indifferently and said, "Okay, my words are orders, with Uncle Wang here, who can get close to me?" ”

Wang Bodang was happy in his heart, and Wang Shichong had no choice but to quickly catch up with Mai Tiecane, of course, the three hundred guards who remained outside the small hall at this moment also went to the government office of Jiangdu County with Wang Shichong's greeting.

After waiting for Mai Tiezhu and Wang Shichong to lead those guards away, there were only three people left in this huge hall, Su You, Wang Bodang and Wei Yongchang, the latter did not get Su You's orders, it was really not to go, it was not to stay, and at this time the seat was like a needle felt.

After Su You's eyes wandered over Wei Yongchang's face for a while, he finally asked in a deep voice, "Which money bank is controlling the tickets in Yangzhou, you should know." ”

Since Wei Yongchang stayed, he naturally let himself out a long time ago, probably because the people of Qianzhuang pushed him too hard, so he had the consciousness that he was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. ”

"Then you should know who is behind the Dongdu Money Bank, right?" Su You obviously thought about this answer, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Of course, His Royal Highness King Qi."

"Of course you also know the relationship between this official and the King of Qi?"

"The villain doesn't know very well, but what he just said is true." Wei Yongchang's words are obviously not true, if Su You is still Yang Yu's lackey now, he will have ten lives and dare not sue Yang Yu in front of Su You.

In fact, Su You left the Qi Palace's mansion last year to create a polo team on his own, and everyone in the world saw that there was already a gap between Su You and the King of Qi, and Wei Yongchang didn't see this, how could he dare to poke out the shady curtain of His Royal Highness the King of Qi to Su You?

Su You listened to Wei Yongchang's words, but he was really a little out of order, if he pursued it without hesitation, those who knew would say that he was selfless for the people, and those who didn't know must think that he was the legendary Zhongshan wolf.

It's really hard to do this.

When Su You was hesitating, Wei Yongchang said even worse, "The villain also knows that the two largest rice shops in Yangzhou City are His Royal Highness King Qi, including Fourth Master Lu who resisted the donation just now. ”

"How could such a thing happen? When did His Highness make such a big deal in Yangzhou? Su You didn't believe Wei Yongchang's little report, but he suddenly remembered the first time he met Yang Ying.

When Su You and Yang Ying met for the first time, Yang Ying's title was still King Yuzhang, but his official position was the governor of Yangzhou, which was consistent with Yang Guang's official position before; The point is that the governor's office of Yangzhou is, of course, Yangzhou, in fact, Su You had the honor to meet him precisely because he went from Yangzhou to Chang'an.

Yang Ying worked as a manager in Yangzhou for a few years, and then opened some shops in Yangzhou, what is so strange?

Wei Yongchang saw that Su You didn't seem to believe in his appearance, and then said carefully, "The villain still has some words, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Su You nodded, and said step by step, "His Majesty often says, 'Those who speak are not guilty, and those who hear are full of caution', although the official's mind is not as good as His Majesty's, but he often takes him as a model, what do you have to say, just open your mouth." ”

"Some people say that the price of grain in Jiangdu is controlled by His Royal Highness King Qi," Wei Yongchang first looked around the hall back and forth, and only then did he solemnly whisper after seeing that there was no one around.

"Is there any evidence?" Su You was immediately stunned, if this was a lie, it would obviously constitute the crime of defamation; And the target of this slander is His Royal Highness King Qi, and the sin is not small.

"Because King Qi has long known that Jiangdu's grain will rise sharply this year." Wei Yongchang immediately replied in an unquestioning tone.

Su You smiled disdainfully, "Could it be that he is an immortal?" How did he know? And how do you know he knows? His words are a bit awkward, and the translation into an allusion is "Zi Fei Fish, the joy of knowing fish?" ”

Wei Yongchang said slowly, "Because of the words of King Qi, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in Jiangdu County were planted with sugarcane last year."

"Really?" Su You listened to Wei Yongchang's words, and couldn't help but ask lightly, even Wang Bodang could hear that Su You had no confidence in asking this.

King Qi planted sugarcane in a large area in Jiangdu County, how could Su You not know?

In fact, the reason why King Qi would think about growing sugarcane on a large scale was because Su You invented a way to make white sugar, and God knows how expensive white sugar is in this era!

Yang Ying saw that it was profitable, so he explained that the people below planted sugarcane in a large area in Jiangdu County.

If it were in previous years, it would not be a big deal for Jiangdu County to have hundreds of thousands of acres of sugarcane and hundreds of thousands of acres of grain; The problem lies in the fact that last year's weather was very bad, with two consecutive months of flooding in the summer and three consecutive months of drought in the autumn, which directly led to a large failure in the grain harvest

In the final analysis, isn't the failure of this grain harvest and the rise in grain prices because he invented a method for refining white sugar because he wanted to die?

This is the legendary self-inflicted sin? This is the legendary saying that if you don't die, you won't die?

Su You suddenly felt a little excited, and then said to Wei Yongchang, "Okay, the official knows everything, you can go back first." ”

"Then my 100 stones" Wei Yongchang was on the verge of amnesty, but he couldn't believe that Su You would let himself go so easily.

"For a hundred stones, I can't let you smash the pot and sell iron to pledge donations, right? Exempt. Su You waved his hand, paused and said, "By the way, the official may still have to ask you for the next few days to understand the situation, and you have to follow the rumor." ”

Wei Yongchang got Su You's words, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy for a while, and then left Feng Moxuan in a daze.
