Chapter 901 - Doing the Game (1)
If this matter was really done by someone from the Meng family, then it could only be Meng Shaoning.
Ye San couldn't help but smile when he saw Hui Yu's stunned appearance:
"Surprised, huh?"
"I was also surprised when I first found out about this, and at first I thought I had heard it wrong, and I confirmed it several times before I knew it was Meng Siye."
Hui Yu hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, don't sell it." ”
Ye San didn't mean to hide it, not to mention that when it came to this matter, Meng Shaoning was originally trying to be angry for Jiang Yunqing, but he didn't tell anyone when he acted before, I'm afraid Jiang Yunqing didn't know about it yet.
Ye San said to Hui Yu: "This is a long story. ”
"Fourth Master Meng didn't know where he got the news of this granary in the north of the city, and knew that the third prince and the seventh prince were hoarding grain here, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the price of grain in Beijing rose after the winter every year, so he mixed in."
"Before, the Seven Princes originally only hoarded less than 100,000 stone of grain, thinking that they were afraid that they would cause trouble by hoarding too much, and they were even more afraid that these grains would be smashed in their hands, but Fourth Master Meng let people secretly release rumors, saying that there was a problem with the granary in the south."
"Some time ago, the university, the river trade route was blocked, after these rumors were released, everyone thought that the grain in the south could not be transported to the capital for at least two or three months, and then Meng Siye asked people to secretly block the only way to enter Beijing over there, and purchased all the grain into Beijing, blocking the grain road."
"Not only that, but he also secretly asked people to help the Seven Princes raise the price of grain, giving the grain merchants in Beijing the illusion, making them think that there was a shortage of grain in Beijing, and the grain in their hands was extremely tight, coupled with the greed of the Seven Princes, and then let people speculate on the price, so that the grain price, which was originally only less than two times, rose more than three times in less than ten days."
When Ye San talked about what Meng Shaoning had done, his face was full of admiration.
Li Guangyan was cautious, although he stayed in the palace, but he must have been instructed to hoard grain, according to the news they later inquired, Li Guangyan asked Li Qingze to secretly hoard grain and push up the price of grain, but he was not allowed to exceed the range he had set.
100,000 stones, two pieces of money, as long as you reach the limit, immediately change the grain in your hand, and never keep more.
Li Qingze has always listened to Li Guangyan's words the most, and at the beginning, he really didn't dare to collect more, and he already wanted to get rid of it when the price of grain rose to about two percent.
But at this time, Meng Shaoning stepped in sideways, pretending to make people anxious to buy grain, wanting to swallow all the grain hoarded in Li Qingze's hands in one bite, deliberately arousing Li Qingze's suspicion, and leading his people to investigate the Jingzhong Grain Market.
At this time, people let people spread rumors and secretly raise prices, so that the price of grain in Beijing more than tripled in less than ten days.
In addition, Meng Shaoning secretly blocked those who transported grain into Beijing, urging the grain merchants in Beijing to withhold the grain one after another, so that there was not much grain left in the market in Beijing.
Li Qingze's original calmness disappeared in an instant, seeing that the price of food was rising day by day, and even had the potential to break through the sky, where did he still remember Li Guangyan's advice before.
He was attracted by the interests under the crazy rise in grain prices, and began to buy a large amount of grain, not to mention, he followed the price of grain, and was almost dazzled by the crazy price.
By the time he reacted, he not only had less than 100,000 stone of grain in his hand.
