In all the commodities that can be sold today, grain can be said to be the most inconspicuous, but at the same time it is also the most important to the people's livelihood, the people take food as the sky, although the Mongols are brutal and unkind, but also know the importance of food prices, although there are rebellions in various places, there have been faint signs of troubled times, but the Yuan capital as the capital of Mongolia, grain prices have always been relatively stable.

is also because the importance of grain is not as important as others, so Li Xuan did not start with the price of grain at the beginning, which is very easy to attract the attention of the Yuan Court, but now, with the foreshadowing of the first three times, it is a matter of course for grain to be bought and sold now.

The price of grain in the capital city, under Yang Xiao's crazy purchase, continues to skyrocket, but the merchants in the city are obviously scared by the previous three ups and downs, seeing that some people continue to buy grain, they dare not continue to hoard, first, their funds have gone up and down three times, there is not much left, and secondly, they are afraid that they will lose their money as much as the first three times, and no matter how shrewd the businessmen can not afford to face such ups and downs, so most of the grain merchants in the city just keep raising the price of grain, but they do not have the intention of hoarding, and a few want to hoard. Seeing that everyone was crazy about betraying, he couldn't help but feel worried.

After the first three experiences, some shrewd businessmen have slowly seen some ways, which are people manipulating behind the scenes with huge amounts of money, quickly raising the price of something, and then when everyone is crazy hoarding, they suddenly throw out the goods in their hands to make huge profits.

It's just that although they can see the doorway, this kind of manipulation method is too advanced for this era to accurately touch the other party's pulse, and these shrewd businessmen dare not invest at will.

Gradually, the price of grain in the city began to grow wildly, almost every hour is rising, in just two days, the price of grain has increased dozens of times, many grain merchants have made a lot of money, smiling, just looking at the still soaring food prices, I can't help but feel a little regretful, I knew so, I should have hoarded more, but now that the grain has been sold, some people who do not give up began to buy food with the money earned in their hands, but this time they learned well, did not hoard, and then sold it after the acquisition, although it could not make a big profit, But it's safe.

Moreover, with the continuous rise in grain prices, those Mongolian nobles in the city began to sit still, the rise and fall of gold some time ago, so that they lost all their money, and now seeing that the grain market is so hot, they suddenly couldn't sit still, and began to sell their food at a high price.

And this time it seems to be different from the past, the other party has no intention of selling, seeing that the price of grain has increased to fifty times, still keep buying grain, soon, the food in the homes of those Mongolian nobles was sold out, and many nobles not only earned back the loss of gold price fluctuations some time ago, but also made a lot of money.

In the face of such a lucrative business, these Mongolian nobles are completely crazy, there is no surplus grain at home, easy to do, as the capital of Mongolia, there is a lot of grain in the warehouse of Yuandu, although it is a big crime to use the granary privately, but it can not withstand the huge interests, and even if the granary is emptied, this year's autumn harvest is coming, and the grain transported from all over the country can fill the granary.

Huge interests, can make people crazy, these Mongolian nobles, obviously in the face of huge interests, completely red-eyed, at first still cautious, but later, completely let go, and even a cart of grain was transported out of the Yuan capital, with the help of these Mongolian nobles, the guards of the city also turned a blind eye.

It's just that these rulers, who were gradually blinded by huge profits, did not realize that with the continuous rise in grain prices, the beggars in the city seemed to be more and more day by day, and in just five days, the streets and alleys of the entire Yuan capital city were almost filled with beggars, and even many hungry people began to launch crazy attacks on grain trucks.

Someone robbed a grain truck!

This is a big deal, cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing my parents, as the ruling class in this world, who dares to cut off my financial routes? What I didn't say, one word - kill!

As a result, in the streets and alleys of Yuandu, the number of Mongolian soldiers patrolling has increased significantly, and they are specifically responsible for guarding the grain trucks.

As today, the leaders of the Ming Sect and the high-level leaders of the Righteous Army, looking at this scene, they felt a little crying and laughing, and the officers and soldiers ran to protect the anti-thief leaders, how to look at how they felt awkward.

On July 14, the day before the full moon night, it was still that manor, Yang Xiao stood respectfully behind Li Xuan, bowed down and said: "Sect Master, according to your orders, all the money and wealth that I have reserved before have been spent, and the food in exchange is enough for the three years of the righteous army in my Ming Sect, and now the price of food in the city has soared to a hundred times the usual amount!" ”

A hundred times, this is almost equivalent to the price of gold, Li Xuan was a little surprised in his heart, and shook his head: "It's a pity, the money is a little insufficient, otherwise, the granary of this yuan capital will definitely be emptied." ”

In fact, if the price is parity, the gold and silver that Li Xuan raised before is enough to exchange for the grain of the three yuan granaries, but with the continuous rise in grain prices, a hundred times the price of grain, this is the only step that can be done now.

"Do you want to do it again?" Yang Xiao looked at Li Xuan and asked tentatively.

"No, the seeds of hatred have been planted, the current Yuandu is like a powder keg that may explode at any time, what is lacking is just an opportunity to ignite this powder keg, the full moon night is approaching, we have no time to continue, have our people entered the city?" Li Xuan shook his head, the current situation is enough.

"All the departments are ready, just waiting for the sect leader to give an order, and they can launch an attack on Wan'an Temple at any time." Yang Xiao nodded.

"Okay, get ready, let's go out." Li Xuan stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile.

"Uh...... Teach the main going out? The sect leader is not worried about Zhao Min, she ......" Yang Xiao looked at Li Xuan and said in surprise.

"Don't worry, we, the county lord of Shaomin, I'm afraid we're in no mood to care about us now." Li Xuan smiled: "Now, let's go out and have a look and find an opportunity to light this powder keg." ”

"Yes." When Yang Xiao heard this, a trace of strangeness flashed on his face, nodded, beckoned Shang Xiaozhao and Wu Qingying, and the group of four walked out.

……

In the Ruyang Palace, in the study of the King of Ruyang, Zhao Min at this moment is indeed as Li Xuan said, he is already anxious.

"Father, why are you so confused!" Zhao Min looked at his father with a resentful face, and said with a depressed heart: "The people take food as the sky, and the granary is the foundation of a country. ”

"Enough, Minmin, how can I talk to my father, besides, the matter of the granary is not my father alone, the Seventh Prince, they and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all involved in this matter, is it difficult for Your Majesty to kill the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?" Wang Baobao on the side looked at Zhao Min unhappily.

"Manchu Dynasty civil and military!?" Zhao Min's beautiful eyes widened, and he pointed to the door and said, "You go out now and take a look, what has become of the great Yuan now!?" This matter is clearly manipulated by someone with a heart, the last gold price transaction, I advised you not to be greedy, you just don't listen, is my Ruyang Mansion very short of money? Now it's okay, the money is there, but what about the food!? ”

"Enough, Minmin, this matter has happened, now we should try our best to find a way to solve it, I have ordered the surrounding cities to mobilize grain and grass from Dadu, I believe it will take less than a month to arrive, and it is useless to rush now!" King Ruyang frowned.

"You ...... Alas! Zhao Min looked at his father, and finally turned into a sigh, stomped his foot hatefully, and slammed the door.

"This girl is getting more and more unruly." King Ruyang snorted and rubbed his temples with a headache.

Different from the optimism of King Ruyang, Zhao Min faintly felt a strong sense of unease in her heart at the moment, in the past two days, she has consulted a large number of market information in the past month, although she is not proficient in business, but starting from the crane grass, to the later brass price changes, and then to the gold price changes that swept the circle of the Yuan Court nobles, and finally to the current soaring food prices, it seems to be irrelevant, but she can faintly feel that there is a big hand behind the scenes silently manipulating this qiē, if it just goes to this step and ends, Zhao Min is not afraid, The grain and grass of several surrounding cities have been mobilized, and it will not take a few days, and when the time comes, there will be grain and grass in hand, and it is not difficult to calm the fluctuations, but will the other party just stop like this? Who is the person behind the scenes?

For no reason, Li Xuan's figure flashed in his mind, and a strong thought flashed in his heart, this matter had nothing to do with him.

A woman's intuition sometimes has no reason at all, but it is often accurate and terrifying, although during this time, Li Xuan and his subordinates' every move is under his own surveillance, but Zhao Min still has a strong intuition, this matter, he did it!

"Come on, let the two masters of Xuan Ming and Master Ku come over, I want to go out!" Zhao Min stood up suddenly, thought about it, and walked towards the door, no matter what, she had to figure it out, but when she arrived at the manor where Li Xuan lived, it had already been empty, leaving an empty Zhuangzi, which made Zhao Min grit his teeth with hatred, and at the same time the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, especially on the street, when he saw the pair of pairs or numb lifeless, or faintly hateful eyes, this feeling was raised to the extreme, and people's hearts were in turmoil. Let her walk down the street without the slightest sense of security.
