Today's grain prices are rising three times a day, and the supply exceeds demand, which can be described as a rare opportunity to make a fortune, and a number of grain merchants are willing to miss the opportunity, seeing that the stocks of rice, wheat, corn and beans are all sold out, they are naturally doing their best to mobilize grain.

In winter, it is impossible for the Beijing division to transfer grain from outside to Beijing, where can it be transferred? Needless to say, of course, the idea was reached from the top ten granaries in Beijing and Tongzhou, which were millions of stone of grain, and it was enough to make a fortune if it was leaked out casually.

The big grain merchants who can establish their foothold in Beijing are all rich businessmen, not only have a deep background, but also have a good relationship, and they do not use cao ships to transport grain on weekdays, and the officials of the major granaries in Beijing and Tongzhou are inextricably linked.

In the face of this sudden profiteering opportunity, the officials of the warehouse are also red-eyed, except for the Lu rice warehouse to be busy distributing Lu rice, can not pull out, the other warehouses, including the Huangcang, the inner warehouse, are doing everything possible to get a piece of the pie in this feast, has always opened a position to reduce the light, spring and autumn supplement, are a good opportunity to embezzle the flat account, the two can be described as a hit, for a time the warehouse officials have shown their powers, privately use the white ticket to fill the rice out of the warehouse, steal the beam for the pillar to shoddy, and work together to get the grain privately out of the black file, The upper and lower hands openly smuggled, secretly changed seats, fished fans and stole rice, wrote fake tickets, and so on, which can be described as full of tricks, and so on.

The price of grain in Jingshi rose three times a day, and the people of Jingshi could not help but complain, and the Chinese martial arts officers of the DPRK were also deeply worried about this; in the land of Gyeonggi, the people's grievances were boiling, which was not a good thing; Shuntianfu, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the infantry army commanding the Yamen were all sent to patrol the streets and alleys of the capital to maintain order and strengthen prevention.

The next morning. A number of ministers of civil and military affairs have written a book to implore the opening of warehouses to reduce the grain, stabilize the grain price and stabilize the people's hearts, Zhenwu also obeyed the advice, and ordered the major granaries except the Lu rice warehouse to open their warehouses and release 100,000 stone of rice for the reduction of rice. to stabilize food prices.

The officials of the warehouse were all happy when they received the news of the opening of the warehouse and the reduction of grain, and they were even happier than the people of Beijing.

With the arrival of rice in the major granaries, the price of grain in the capital fell in response, and soon dropped from 126 yuan a stone to 125 yuan a stone. Half a day later, it fell back to one or two or four coins and a stone, and then, it couldn't go down anymore, and the people of Beijing watched for a long time, and after being sure that it would not drop again, they began to buy it again, but. He is much more sensible, no longer blind, and often stops after buying enough rice and grain for three months. Many of the people who bought the high price yesterday regretted it.

On the royal road from Shunyi to the capital, Wang Yinqi of Lao Shidun County, Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi, the two new commanders of the Janissary New Army, were rushing to the capital with a group of personal guards, and the three of them were ordered to enter Beijing to meet them.

Yin Qi also didn't know what was important to Zhenwu, he was now busy all day and night without touching the ground, the 10,000 recruits of the Praetorian Guard New Army had just been recruited to enter the camp not long ago, the veterans were undergoing intense live-fire training, and there were endless things to deal with every day, the old thirteen went to the Fengtai camp at this time, and he felt quite difficult to sit alone in the Shunyi camp. Fortunately, Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi are both very competent, otherwise they would have really coped with it.

Although it was hard work, but Yin Qi felt that it was worth it, after seeing the live ammunition training of the Praetorian Guard New Army, he finally understood how the recruits of the Navy were able to win battles in succession, and Zhenwu's training of the New Army was really eye-opening for him. It can be said that it is completely costless.

Whether it is musket or artillery live-fire training, the firearms battalions inside and outside the Beijing Division and the Janissaries New Army cannot be compared at all; since the beginning of the live-fire training, the three shooting ranges of the Shunyi battalion have been filled with gunfire fire every day, and in less than a month, each recruit has carried out six or seven live-ammunition firings, not counting the loss of firearms, the consumption of gunpowder and lead bullet alone is an astonishing expense, and the daily training is purely burning money. …,

And what surprised him even more was that the new musket artillery used in the training of the Praetorian New Army, whether it was the range, the speed of fire, and the accuracy of shooting were much stronger than the firearms battalions inside and outside the capital, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing had no power to fight back in front of the New Guard, not only him, but also Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi were shocked when they saw the power of the new firearms for the first time, and Nian Qianyao even boasted that with these 9,000 Praetorian New Guards in hand, it was enough to sweep the entire northwest.

A group of generals are full of self-confidence, the soldiers of the new army are also full of self-confidence, there is no way not to be confident, the huge power of artillery and muskets, especially the power of cooperation with the operation, not only opened their eyes, but also made them extremely proud, for the general cavalry and firearms, they simply disdain, live ammunition training in less than a month, the spirit of the soldiers has been completely different, all eyes are only long to the top of the head, there is no need to strictly supervise, all of them are fatal training, I am afraid that I will make a mistake or get too bad to be eliminated.

All the soldiers and soldiers know that with the combat strength of the Janissary New Army, as long as they go out into battle, their combat exploits can be described as searching for things, and they are effortlessly serving as soldiers in the Praetorian Guard New Army, which is completely different from the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, not for the sake of receiving a salary, but for the future that is easy to achieve.

The soldiers still thought so, not to mention the generals, all of them were holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, secretly climbing the strength, studying in detail the data performance of the new firearms, as well as the new tactics brought by the new firearms, hoping to reach a higher level after the expansion of the new Praetorian Guard.

The newly recruited 10,000 new troops have all been put in place, of which the proportion of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army has increased greatly, and there are many civilians, there are 3,000 people, and the instructors are still 1,000 people drawn from the navy in Tianjin, and this proportion of recruits has greatly excited the generals, not limited to the children of the Eight Banners, the expansion of the New Guard Army will not be restricted, and it will not affect the growth of the New Guard, after all, the conditions for recruiting the New Guard Army are too harsh, and the children of the Eight Banners can not meet the conditions.

The distance from Shunyi to the capital is not far, Yinqi, Nian Qianyao, Yue Zhongqi and the three of them have been whipping all the way, and they entered the palace before noon, and handed over the sign at Jingyunmen, only to learn from the eunuch that Zhenwu was summoning Long Keduo, the commander of the Nine Gates, and listening to the news, Yin Qi did not feel a tightness in his heart, Zhenwu recruited Long Keduo again, and summoned himself and others, could it be that there will be a big event in the capital?

Is it a group of banner lords, princes, or starlings? He is not worried about others, he is only worried about the starling, he has been in Shunyi for more than half a year, and he has a deep understanding of the navy in Tianjin and the new Praetorian Guard army in Shunyi.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at his heart, how could Starling be such an ignorant person, he had taken advantage of it before and had not been able to fight the old fourteen, let alone now? Besides, even if the starling wants to initiate chaos, it is impossible not to contact him in advance.

Just thinking about himself, Bao Fuquan hurried over with a smile, and when he saw Yinqi dressed in a military uniform, he hurriedly stabbed Qian'er and said, "The slave asks for peace to the prince of Dunjun." ”

"No courtesy." Yin Qi glanced at the five-grade top on his hat and smiled: "Promoted to the general manager?" If you have a chance, you can have a treat. ”

Bao Fuquan's heart jumped when he heard this, eunuchs are strictly forbidden to have private contact with ministers, let alone the prince, it is a taboo, if someone else said so, he would have already brushed his sleeves away, but this tenth master is different, Zhenwu is quite protective of him, he also knows that this tenth master has a mouth and no heart, and usually does not pay attention to details, at the moment he got up and said with a smile: "The tenth master said that he was joking, the emperor asked the three of them to go with him." ”…,

As soon as he heard this, Yinqi didn't grind his teeth with him, hurriedly straightened his clothes, walked forward, and arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, where a little eunuch greeted him and said, "The emperor has an order, please ask the tenth master and others to go in directly." ”

After the three of them entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, they saw that Zhenwu was talking, and they knelt down to ask for peace without saying a word. As he spoke, he went on to say to Long Keduo: "The commander of the infantry army, the Yamen soldiers, are used to slippery, this operation must state military discipline, dare to disturb the people, or take the opportunity to extort property, behead on the spot, and the officials at the top three levels will be dismissed. ”

Hearing this, Long Keduo dared to stand, knelt down busily, and said: "The slave will definitely order the military discipline to be rectified." ”

"Yes." Zhenwu nodded, and said: "Yi Beile rectified the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, the only thing is that the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, has not been rectified, and the soldiers of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, are directly dealing with the people of Beijing, and the quality of military discipline affects the reputation of the imperial court, so you can't take it lightly, this batch of new troops of the Praetorian Guard has just started training, and in a few days, you will select 2,000 elites from the Yamen of the infantry army to enter the Shunyi camp to participate in training." ”

"Servant Honor." Roncodo hurriedly bowed.

"Kneel down first." Zhenwu said and looked at the three of them, and when Long Keduo bowed and withdrew, he smiled and said, "What is the quality of this batch of recruits of the Praetorian Guard?" ”

Yin Qi hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the overall quality is better than the previous batch, however, some recruits are not good at riding. ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, although Yin Qi did not say it explicitly, he also knew that he was referring to the batch of recruits of the Han Army Banner, the Mongolian Eight Banners did not have poor horsemanship, and the two thousand Han people recruited were more strict in order to prevent criticism, poor archery is allowed, but horsemanship is very strict, there is no lack of horsemanship, only the Han Army Banner has always attached importance to artillery training, and the requirements for riding and archery are slightly relaxed.
