Xu Mengchen was promoted to the supervisor of the household department, directly granted to His Royal Highness the Prince, and had real power compared to several waiters in the household department, as well as the function of supervising and assisting the household department.

Xu Mengchen was not there, so he went out to be busy with the affairs of the victims.

As soon as Xiling Lan arrived, Shangshu and the waiters all greeted the princess, and Xiling Lan raised the price of rice in Kyoto so outrageously, so that Shangshu and the waiter hurriedly made a plan.

"Isn't that okay? Merchants have always bought and sold freely, and the price is up to them, some buy and some sell, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the court has never interfered with these......" a waiter whispered.

Xiling Lan's face turned cold, "Take down this person, raid his house, and see how much he has been bribed!" ”

The two guards did not hesitate to take the squire down.

Shangshu didn't dare to slack off, thought about it, and drafted a copy in the name of the household department, limiting the price of rice in Kyoto, and the unified selling price of any commercial bank should not exceed 200 Wen a catty, and the prince seal was stamped by Xiling Blue.

Awarded down.

The order was issued, and in less than an hour, Xiling Lan returned to the prince's mansion, and the merchants went to the mansion to give gifts and rice to show benefits.

Xiling Lan summoned them, she went to look for them before, but she couldn't find any of them, and she was so big that she was sent down, and they all came to the door.

There are a total of seven major grain stores in Kyoto, and the proprietor and shopkeeper of each grain bank are standing in a row.

Xiling Lan found that there was a big Yan grain store in Kyoto, and when I asked, it turned out to be one of the branches of the Yanshui State Dayan Commercial Bank, which is really a huge commercial organization, and there are all kinds of branches in the seven countries, and there are all kinds of businesses.

The grain store, the cloth store, the medicine store, and even, there is a unified silver number of the seven countries.

In the end, in the name of the imperial court, Xiling Lan bought a batch of rice grain from the Seven Great Grain Stores, of course, the price was much cheaper than the market price of 200 Wen, after all, the quantity was not much.

A drop in the bucket, circulation and trade is the king.

Even if there is a stock, you still have to have money to buy it, when the treasury was handed over to Chu Tianmu's hands, there was not much money, and it was difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice.

As soon as the people in the grain store left, Xiling Lan asked Tangyuan to go down and count the things in the Prince's Mansion, and all the things that were not useful, not commonly used, and luxury goods were all cleaned up and sold.

It has been three or four days since the Xiling army successfully ambushed the 5,000 cavalry of the Yuan rebels, and now the food has been cut off, and the Yuan rebels behind are in hot pursuit.

Along the way, the speed of the march was not fast, and the infantry of the Yuanjia rebels could not catch up with them, so all the cavalry sent were the most numerous, 11,000 of them, and they no longer fell for their fraudulent surrender.

At first, the predetermined direction was to take three days to reach Yunzhou Yuncheng, not to mention supplies, so that the soldiers could have porridge to drink, but as a result, the Yuanjia rebels bit too tightly, and the itinerary on the road declined, and they walked for three or four days, and they had not yet arrived in Yuncheng.

Xiling Xing sent the army to go out to see that when the 100,000 infantry of the Yuan rebels were less than five miles away from them, Xiling Yingjie could only let the Xiling army ambush on the map in a place thirty miles away, this place is a mountain col, the terrain is quite favorable, but there are many poisonous substances in the trees, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.
