Before, when Li Guangyan wanted to take advantage of the rise in grain prices in winter to make a lot of money, he guarded against the people in the government and those who were keeping an eye on him and Li Qingze at any time, so he chose the north of the city.

If they want to hoard grain in the north of the city, they only need to find a local snake in the north of the city, a person like Lai San who is familiar with the forces in the north of the city, and let him come forward to dredge the relationship between those gangs in the north of the city, just cover it up a little.

But this kind of convenience is troublesome for Qian Yuchun.

Although Li Guangyan is not familiar with Qian Yuchun, he has also dealt with him, that is, he is a timid and greedy for money.

Let's not talk about whether Qian Yuchun has the scheming to make such a big game to calculate Li Qingze, even if he has, he definitely doesn't dare to act in the north of the city.

If he calculates Li Qingze, he will not dare to use the people of the Gyeonggi Guard, and if the fire is put down, if it is not extinguished in time, or even the robbery behind it is not stopped in time, causing large casualties, let alone merit, the black veil on his head will not be saved, and maybe he will lose his life.

With Qian Yuchun's character, it's okay for him to pick up leaks.

Let him take such a big risk to do this, he will never dare!

"Qian Yuchun doesn't have that much courage, and he doesn't have that much ability."

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

"You have always listened to me, this time I told you again and again, and I also analyzed the powerful relationship with you, and you also promised to sell all the grain according to my words, how could you suddenly move the mind of continuing to hoard grain and raise prices for no reason?"

After Li Qingze knew that he was calculated, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said directly:

"When I was about to sell the grain according to your instructions, someone suddenly came to the door and said that he wanted to eat all the grain we had hoarded before."

"The third brother also knew that I had nearly 100,000 stone of grain in my hands at that time, and if I ate it in one bite, according to the price at that time, it would cost 200,000 taels of silver."

"But that person didn't care at all, but was generous and excessive, I was a little suspicious, I was afraid that someone knew our identity and deliberately came to find trouble, so I asked Lai San to directly raise the price of thirty percent, but that person just hesitated for less than a while, and he insisted that he still wanted food, and he was very anxious, and he wanted to trade on the spot with the contract."

"I felt that something was wrong, I was afraid that the man wanted to cheat me, so I temporarily suppressed the transaction, and then secretly asked people to investigate, only to find out that there was news that there was a problem with the granary in the south, and the river was frozen, the road was blocked, and there would be no foreign grain in Beijing for at least three months."

"And when I went to check, I also found that those grain merchants in Beijing were secretly acting to collect all the grain on the market."

"The price of rice in Beijing suddenly soared, and I thought that I couldn't be cheaper for others, so I wanted to continue to stock up on more grain, so that I could earn more silver at a time, and when I waited for the spring of the next year, I could also attract more talents and courtiers for the third brother......"

"That's right!"

Li Guangyan listened to Li Qingze's words and suddenly said: "Okay, how could there be a problem in the granary in the south, and even if there is a problem, how can the news be transmitted back to Beijing so quickly?" ”

You must know that the north-south trade route is not connected, and the news naturally cannot be transmitted, how can the news be spread in just a few days?
