Li Guangyan looked at Li Qingze, and said in a deep voice:

"The river is blocked, the grain from the south cannot be transported, and even if someone in Beijing goes to inquire about the news, it will not be possible to get the news in a day or two."

"At this time, as long as someone secretly creates rumors, saying that Beijing has cut off grain, and then deliberately intercepts all the grain entering Beijing, making everyone think that there is no food to enter Beijing in the short term. Those grain merchants are all shrewd, and even if they are on the sidelines, they will take back most of the grain on the market. ”

"If everyone does this, there will be less grain in Beijing, and the price of grain will continue to rise wildly, and when you see the sudden rise in prices, you will no longer care whether there is any calculation in it, but will try your best to increase the hoarding of grain, and your actions will continue to push up the price of grain in disguise, and the other will continue to grow, which has caused the later results."

It can be said that all of these links are indispensable.

If there were no rumors, Li Qingze would not have hoarded grain, and the grain merchants in Beijing would not want to take advantage of this to make a profit and put away all the grain on the market.

And if it weren't for Li Qingze's actions, people would mistakenly think that the rumors were the truth, and those grain merchants would not have caused a shortage of grain in Beijing and something really happened in the south, and for the time being, there would no longer be the illusion that grain would be sent to the capital, and the price of grain in Beijing would definitely not have risen to the point where it would have been.

This seems like a simple strategy, but it counts everyone.

Li Qingze's reaction, the reaction of those grain merchants, even the people, and even the government were all counted.

Who the hell is there to have such a high means!!

Li Guangyan only relied on Li Qingze's words to directly piece together most of the truth.

Looking at Li Qingze's face that turned pale in an instant because of his words, Li Guangyan said angrily:

"Why are you so stupid?!"

"The north-south trade route is blocked, if there is really a problem in the south, how did those news get into the capital, and where did the sudden extra 100,000 stone grain come from?"

"Why don't you want to think about the deep meaning of this, it is clear that someone has done a game, confusing your mind with rumors, and then using the inflated price of food as bait to arouse your greed and tempt you to collect the grain desperately."

"When the price of grain in Beijing is pushed up to the point that it is unbearable because of your actions, and there may be a riot, we will set fire to our granary, and then attract the rioters to loot and alarm the Fengtian Mansion......"

"All of this is clearly calculated by someone a long time ago."

"These things are a game from beginning to end, a bureau for you, but you just stepped into it, willingly made a wedding dress for someone, and lost 400,000 taels of silver in vain!!"

After Li Guangyan learned all the truth, his chest continued to rise and fall in anger.

Li Qingze straightened his head, pursed his lips and lowered his head, his face pale.

He really didn't expect that he would be calculated so far.

What's more, the previous things happened too suddenly, in just a few days, so many calculations, he was so focused on making money, and he didn't think so much at all.

"Third brother, punish me." Li Qingze said in a low voice.

"What's the use of me punishing you?"

Li Guangyan looked at Li Qingze's appearance, and also knew that it was useless to pursue the matter, and he knew that Li Qingze was just greedy for a moment when he did this, and wanted to earn more money for him.

He just wanted to know now whether it was because someone knew that the grain was theirs and did it against them, or whether it was simply because he saw the benefits in it and cheated them for money.
