Seeing Zhou Shuyuan's slightly puzzled expression, Wei Zheng continued to analyze.

"I think that at the beginning, before we turned against the court, even if we knew that the hearts of these officials and landlords were towards the court, as long as they didn't commit crimes, we had nothing to do with them. After all, there are too many such people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and it is impossible to follow our old method to kill all of them one by one. ”

"Now, since we have turned against the imperial court, we have no scruples......

"Ben Shuai's idea is to take advantage of this opportunity to drive them all out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

"In this way, the two provinces will become more united. And when we are fighting against the imperial court, we don't need to worry about the rear, we don't need to worry about logistics......"

Speaking of which, the murderous aura emanating from Wei Zheng's body has slowly dissipated. A sneer flashed on his face, and he was slowly covered by Yan Sù.

Under Zhou Shuyuan's gaze, he ordered with a dignified face: "Military Division, this commander has transferred the Tiger and Leopard Army guard regiment to you...... In half a month, all civil and military officials with different intentions in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces were arrested. If there is resistance, they will be eliminated on the spot. ”

"Since these civil and military officials miss the imperial court so much, then we will send them to the imperial court......"

"Except for their families, they can't bring a tael of silver...... All of them were expelled from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Look at the court they think about day and night, how will they be arranged? ”

"Yes...... The handsome ......" Zhou Shuyuan said loudly.

As the logistics steward of the Haw Par Army, Zhou Shuyuan urgently needed a fortune when the Haw Par Army temporarily lost the income of glass. to make up for these losses.

The property of dozens of civil and military officials is not very much. But. No matter how little meat is, it's still meat, and it's better than nothing.

Therefore, Zhou Shuyuan can be said to be more positive about this matter than anyone else.

I was eager to send these civil and military officials out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces immediately, and then take their property for myself, rush into the treasury of the Haw Par Army, and develop the Haw Par Army and Shanxi Province.

Just when Zhou Shuyuan's face was covered with a thick smile. He suddenly thought of the gentry and businessmen in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces who were also plotting against them.

For those civil and military officials, the wealth possessed by the gentry and merchants can definitely be described in four words: 'innumerable'. According to the idea of the commander in front of him, these civil and military officials were sent out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and their wealth was collected into the treasury. Will the same be done with the merchants and gentry who have bad intentions?

If the same method is used, how much revenue will the treasury of the Shanxi Governor's Mansion increase at one time?

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuyuan directly asked Wei Zheng with expectations: "Dashuai." What about the gentry and merchants..."

"Do you want to expel them from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces together..."

Wei Zheng shook his head and denied without thinking about it: "They are different from those civil and military officials......

Facing a look of disappointment that quickly flashed on Zhou Shuyuan's face, Wei Zheng opened his mouth to explain: "For civil and military officials. As long as they train private soldiers, we can put a certain bad plan on their heads......"

"But the gentry and the merchants are different..."

"You know, what they did was only to have private gatherings, and they did not commit any crime....more importantly, these gentry, landlords, and merchants were all people of great prestige in the local area. If we arrest them for no reason and drive them out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the prestige of our Shanxi Governor's Mansion among the people will definitely be greatly reduced..."

Hearing this, Zhou Shuyuan asked retortively with an unwilling face: "Dashuai, are we just watching these people act arbitrarily in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces without the slightest way?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and asked, "It depends on what conspiracy these people are planning?" ”

After a short period of contemplation, Zhou Shuyuan replied thoughtfully: "Dashuai, there is some gossip here....not surprisingly, these people must be planning to raise the price of grain and salt......

Hearing this answer, Wei Zheng's eyes quickly shot out two rays of fine light.

After taking a deep breath, he replied to Zhou Shuyuan: "If the price of food and salt is raised, then Ben Shuai will have a way to make them lose all their money..."

"You immediately call Mr. Zhou of the Foreign Trade Department... To deal with these businessmen who want to raise the price of grain and salt, Zhou Lao is even more powerful than us. Ben Shuai believes that as long as we provide enough food to Zhou Lao, Zhou Lao will definitely have a way to make them lose all their money......"

Five days later, in Datong City, dozens of large and small grain stores seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time raised the price of grain from the original six taels of silver to eight taels of silver......

In the face of the dissatisfaction of ordinary people, these grain store owners directly said a reason.

Because Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces were blockaded by the imperial court, the grain from the south of the Yangtze River could not be transported in, and there was not much grain left in the grain store. In order to ensure food supply, grain stores had to raise food prices.

In addition, in order to ensure that everyone can buy food...... Everyone can only buy a maximum of ten catties of grain at a time.

Faced with this news, the people in Datong City immediately thought of the scene a year ago, when Datong City was besieged by the Houjin Tartars, the price of grain continued to rise, and they could not buy food.

In order not to make their families hungry, the people gathered around the grain store directly ignored the rising food prices and began to rush to buy.

However, this panic buying did not last long, and the major grain stores stopped selling grain on the grounds that the grain was running out.

The next day, although these grain shops were open as usual, the price of grain had risen to an astonishing ten taels of silver per load.

Although the people in Datong City feel that the price of food is a bit too high, after yesterday's robbery. Although they were full of complaints, they still took out the silver without regard to it, and began to rush to buy grain at an already inflated price...

In the next few days, the price of grain changed almost every day, and soon rose to an astonishing fifteen taels of silver per load.

At this time, an order to stabilize the price of grain suddenly came out of the governor's palace.

In order to stabilize the price of grain, the Governor's Office decided to sell unlimited grain to the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces at the price of ten taels of silver per load...

In the face of the killer weapon suddenly revealed in the Governor's Palace, those businessmen who raised the price of food did not pay attention to it.

In their view, the grain of the Governor's Palace was to be used to supply millions of people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and there was no surplus grain to sell to ordinary people. Even if there is, it is very rare.

As long as all the limited grain of the Governor's Office is purchased, the Governor's Palace will no longer have a way to stop the rise in food prices. (To be continued......)
