[When the displaced people were transferred to the outside of the city, the crisis in Luoyang, the capital gradually began to shift, from the crisis of the displaced people to the food price crisis, due to the frequent liquidation of the position was robbed, the price of grain was pushed up again to 700 yuan of rice, that is, seven hanging money, this is definitely a price that will cause the people of the capital to riot.

A family of five needs at least five buckets of rice a month, and it needs to spend thirty-five yuan to buy rice, while most low-level families in the capital have an income of seven or eight yuan a month, and can only buy one bucket of rice to eat for a few days.

The local government is well aware that the crisis caused by high food prices will even outweigh the crisis of the displaced people.

Late at night, Jingzhao Shaoyin and Luoyang County Ling Shuangshuang came to visit Yang Yuanqing to discuss ways to solve the grain price crisis.

The room was brightly lit, and Cui Bosu said worriedly: "General, in fact, we are facing two very difficult problems, first of all, we are often closed and robbed, how can we report to the saint?" ”

"I have already written a report to the Holy Lord about the regular closing of the position, and I only sent it out this morning, and it is estimated that it will take a few days for the Holy Lord to receive it, but now I want to know, can't the regular closing position be supplemented?"

Wang Shunzhi, the county commander, smiled bitterly, "Chang Ping can only apply for replenishment if the rice is sold out, like this situation where the granary is robbed, we all think that the saint cannot agree so easily, at least give the saint an explanation, and even if the saint agrees, there is also the approval of the temples, these dozens of seals are stamped, and it will take a month at the earliest, and now our most urgent problem is that the time can not be delayed, there is no rice to sell everywhere in the capital today, Ba is complaining, and now there are thousands of people around the county government to ask me to solve the problem of buying rice, general." If there is no rice to sell tomorrow, I am afraid that the people's resentment will boil. ”

Yang Yuanqing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "Tomorrow may not be too late the day after tomorrow, I will raise food from the rich households, maybe I can give a little help to Chang Ping." ”

Wang Shunzhi shook his head, "If those rich families are willing to give out food, they will come out last time, they are all stingy like ghosts, and it is already very good to be able to raise 50,000 stones, and to supply the homeless, they can close the position again, that is, a drop in the bucket, to no avail, the problem now is that there is no rice to sell in the huge capital, which has caused a lot of panic among millions of people in the capital, which is even more worrying than selling rice at a high price." (《%%》)”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at Cui Bosu, and when he saw that he wanted to stop talking, he said, "Cui Shaoyin, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Cui Bosu sighed slightly, "In fact, there is no shortage of rice in the capital, I went to visit a few rice merchants this afternoon, they all used the excuse that Fengdu was robbed, saying that their grain has been bolted up, in fact, I know that each of the five rice merchants in the capital has at least 100,000 stone of tun rice, on the one hand, they are hoarding and waiting for higher prices, on the other hand, they also have difficulties. ”

"What's the difficulty?" Yang Wudu asked puzzled.

"Does the general know who the two largest rice merchants in the Great Sui, Yao Ji Mi Xing and Zhang Shengji Mi Xing, are their backgrounds?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I don't know, you just say it." ”

Cui Boqi said with a smile: "The background of these two rice shops is the same family, the Dugu family. ”

"Chang'an Dugu Family?"

Cui Bosu nodded, "Actually, it is the rice shop of the Dugu family, the two housekeepers, one surnamed Yao and the other surnamed Zhang, they were ordered to open these two rice shops, the scale is so large, they have controlled seventy percent of the food supply in Chang'an and Luoyang, and the saint also knows that he acquiesced." ”

Of course, Yang Yuanqing knows the wealth of the Guanlong nobles, especially the Dugu clan and the Wu clan among the Guanlong nobles, the Wu clan itself is the Northern Wei royal family, and the wealth they have is needless to say, and the Dugu clan is known as the God of Wealth of the Great Sui, as early as before the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Xin, the head of the Eight Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, has amassed a jaw-dropping wealth for his family, and it is precisely with the financial support of the Dugu family that Yang Jian can quickly assemble an army to defeat Wei Chi Hui who opposed him after usurping the throne, and it is also the strong backstage support of the Dugu family, Queen Dugu can dominate the harem and has great political power.

Cui Bosu said that the two largest rice shops in the Great Sui were the background of the Dugu family, Yang Wuqing was not surprised at all, if it weren't for this, how could Li Yuan, the grandson of the Dugu family, get the country?

Yang Yuanqing already understood a little in his heart, I am afraid that it is because he was ordered to stabilize the situation in the capital that the Dugu family will wear small shoes for themselves in the back. (《%%》)

The situation in the capital has become complicated again, not only the open dispute between him and the King of Qi, but also the secret struggle between him and the Guanlong nobles, as early as the fourth year of Renshou, the death of Dugu Cheng and Wuxuan has already doomed the irreconcilable contradictions between him and the Guanlong nobles, and now the death of Yuan Shangying is added.

Yang Yuanqing suddenly thought of a question at this time, whether the Guanlong nobles would secretly help the King of Qi, if the King of Qi got the help of the Guanlong nobles, then the matter would not be so simple, invisibly, Yang Yuanqing pressed another scale camel in his heart.

"So be it! I went to talk to a few major grain merchants, I came to put pressure on them, forced them to make concessions, if it still didn't help, in two days, the grain from my manor will arrive one after another, I came to sell rice, there is a way, how can a living person be suffocated by urine? ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, stood up and said, "I'll go find Yao Ji Mixing now." ”

Cui Bosu also stood up and said, "I'll go with the general!" ”

Wang Shunzhi was worried about the situation of the county government and left in a hurry, and Yang Yuanqing got into Cui Bosu's carriage and went to Sishunfang under the escort of hundreds of soldiers.

In the carriage, Cui Bosu smiled at Yang Yuanqing and said, "General Yang, please rest assured, the nobles of Guanlong will never support King Qi." ”

Yang Yuanqing was a little surprised, this Cui Bosu didn't seem to be obvious, but he was more reflective in his heart, and he actually saw his thoughts.

"Why?"

"Because there is a scandal involved in this, the princess of Qi who died the year before was surnamed Wei, the daughter of Jingzhao Wei, she had a sister, married to the eldest son of Wushou Yuan Shangwu, but this concubine sister had an affair with King Qi, it has been several years, and she gave birth to a daughter to King Qi, this scandal is unknown to the family, but because of the identity of the King of Qi, there is no silence, Wujia is the two major leaders of the Guanlong nobles, how can they help the King of Qi again."

"What if the homeless bet on the King of Qi because of the guilt of the King of Qi instead?"

Cui Bosu laughed, "The problem is that King Qi doesn't feel guilty at all, when Wushou celebrates his fiftieth birthday, he also sent someone to take the concubine out and take her to Bishan to play for a few days before returning, Wushi is also one of the top wealthy families in the Great Sui, can they accept this kind of shame?" Don't hide it from General Yang, this time the King of Qi disposed of the chaos in the capital, in fact, it is also related to the Guanlong nobles behind the elbows, the East Palace Six led the government of 20,000 troops, more than half of the Ying Yanglang generals are the children of the Guanlong nobles, they are yin and yang, and they are unwilling to work hard for the King of Qi, if it is not for the general to have the sword of Shang Fang, if it is not for Zhou Zhong to help the general, in fact, the general will also encounter this kind of problem. ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded secretly, today is the second day he will control the army, if it weren't for An Bosu telling him this, he would still be kept in the dark, of course, Zhou Zhong would tell him sooner or later.

"Why did Cui Shaoyin help me so much?" Yang Yuanqing asked puzzled.

Cui Bosu smiled, "The reason is very simple, because the general is the son-in-law of the Pei family, and the Qinghe Cui family and the Wenxi Pei family have been married for generations, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, of course I have to help the general." ”

Yang Yuanqing remembered what Yang Zhao had told him in the past that among the several northern scholar clans of the Great Sui, they were actually divided into two groups, one was the Hongnong Yang clan, the Jingzhao Wei clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan, and the other was the Wenxi Pei clan, the Qinghe Cui clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan, for example, Minqiu's mother was the Taiyuan Wang clan, but the northern scholar clan was also married to the Guanlong nobles, so the intricacies of the gate valve power could not be explained in one or two sentences.

Sishun Fang is close to Fengdu, in the northeast corner of Sishun Fang, there is a mansion covering an area of about ten acres, here is the house of Yao Ji Mi Xing proprietor Yao Huan, Yao Huan's father Yao Zhong was the big housekeeper of Dugu Mansion, and grandfather Yao Shun is Dugu Xin's scholar, it is this relationship of three generations of domestic slaves, Dugu family in the opening of the emperor ten years to fund and authorize Yao Zhong to establish Yao Ji rice line, and allowed Yao family ** to build a house, and gave Yao family a percent of rice line.

For more than ten years, the Yao family has been loyal to the Dugu family, and the Yao Ji rice store has become the first rice store in the Great Sui Dynasty, occupying a market share of two capitals and fifty percent, so to speak, the dining table of every household in Luoyang is related to the Dugu family.

At this time, in the Yao Mansion Guest Room, Yao Huan, the proprietor of Ma Ji Mi Xing, is receiving a distinguished guest, the guest is Dugu Luo's eldest grandson Dugu Qi, the Dugu family is currently in charge of Dugu Luo's younger brother Dugu Zhen, Dugu Zhen official worship Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, Wangcheng Marquis, although the official is high, but an idle position, just in charge of family affairs.

Duguqi's father, Dugu Hong, is currently the Taishou of Liang County, and he is also a local magistrate, Duguqi is less than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he is very shrewd and capable, assisting his uncle and grandfather in managing family affairs.

Today, he was entrusted by Dugu Zhen, the head of the family, to arrange the next steps of Yao Ji Mixing.

"The head of the family said very clearly, the five rice shops are not allowed to operate until the saint returns to Beijing, no matter what kind of pressure Yang Yuanqing puts on you, you don't pay attention to it, in short, it is a sentence, you can't let Yang Yuanqing successfully control the situation in the capital."

Yao Huan is about forty years old, short and fat, kind, honest and honest on the surface, but in fact he is cunning like a ghost.

He was a little worried: "I talked to the other four rice shops today, Zhang Shengji must have no problem, but the other three are very worried about Yang Yuanqing's use of violence and coercion, especially afraid that the mansion will be attacked by the army pretending to be homeless at night, everyone's idea is not to refuse, sell a little bit, neither can solve the problem, nor let Yang Yuanqing catch the handle, I don't know what the son thinks?" ”

This is actually Yao Huan's own concern, he is just borrowing other people's words to express it.

Dugu also understood that Yang Yuanqing's methods were ruthless, and it was likely that he would really do this, and then Dugu's family would also be embarrassed, so he thought about it and said, "Okay!" I will perfunctory him first, but how much to sell and how to sell it, I will go and consult the head of the house before making a decision. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a family member hurriedly reported outside the door: "Master, Yang Yuanqing is here, just outside the mansion." ”
