Chapter 134: Trouble!
Li Wenhao took dozens of soldiers to the street and walked towards the craftsman camp, and did not go far to catch up with a few officials with a few officials who were sweating profusely.
"Master Hou, something is wrong!" Wei Yi panted and ran to him, not taking a breath, and said eagerly: "Since this morning, there has been a rush to buy in all major grain stores in the city, and now it has only been half a day, the price of grain has quadrupled, and the people's grievances are boiling.
"Let's go, take me to see!" Hearing this, Li Wenhao's face instantly turned cold, the big war is imminent, and there must be no chaos in the city at this time: "Wei Yu, find out that those people are driving up the price of food, there must be someone behind this matter." ”
"The old minister has already found some eyebrows, but the origin is relatively large, and it still needs to be confirmed!" Wei Yi rode a wildebeest and spoke a little hesitantly.
Li Wenhao turned his head to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, you don't have to worry about anyone or any force in front of me." ”
"The people who rush to buy grain are all Dayou merchants, and it is likely that these seven clans and eight surnames are making trouble behind their backs!" Wei Yu gritted his teeth, and continued: "In the past few years, the price of grain in the Central Plains has skyrocketed, and there have been merchants from Dayou who have begun to buy grain at high prices in Langya Country, which has caused dissatisfaction among slave owners.
Later, the old Langya King caught a few big businessmen and made an example of them, so that the situation was calmed down, although there were still big businessmen who bought them privately, but the scale was much smaller, and it would not cause market turmoil!"
"Seven clans and eight surnames, it's these bastards again!" Li Wenhao was angry and urged the horse forward: "Do they think that the knife of the old Langya King can kill people, and my Li Wenhao's knife can't kill people!"
"Hou Ye, now Langya is a county of the Great You Dynasty, and you are the Hou Ye of the Great You Dynasty, these Great You Merchants can't be killed?"
People are terrible, if Li Wenhao slaughters the merchants of the Dayou Dynasty who bought grain, and the news is transmitted back to the Central Plains, won't he be scolded to death by the people of Dayou.
"You are wrong, I am first the leader of the Fire Raven Army, the guardian of the people of Langya, and finally the Hou Ye of the Great Youchao!"
Li Wenhao replied coldly, he thought very clearly, the eighteen counties of the Great You Dynasty, the counties are all short of food, how can a little Langya afford it, he himself is still short of food.
Besides, how could these trading houses of seven clans and eight surnames sell grain to the people at a low price, either to make black money at a high price, or to supply their respective armies.
He Li Wenhao's brain is in water, and it is impossible to sell them food!
The Royal Family Grain Store on West Street is the largest grain store in Wangcheng, which used to belong to the Langya royal family, and now it has become a grain store under the Huaxia Commercial Bank of the Fire Raven Army, and it is also an important target for this rush to buy grain.
When Li Wenhao and his entourage arrived, the entire street was already tightly blocked, full of people, noisy, and invective.
"These damn big businessmen have started to buy food again, aren't they afraid of being beheaded?"
"I'm afraid of cutting off my head, that was before, and now our Langya has become a county of the Great You Dynasty, and these Great You merchants have no scruples!"
"Hey, I thought that Langya Hou was benevolent and righteous, and our people could live a good life, but I didn't expect that it was not as good as before, how could we afford such expensive food. ”
"Damn!" Listening to the people's discussions, Li Wenhao's face was gloomy and he could drip water: "Pass my order, from today onwards, private grain trading is prohibited, according to household registration, each person is limited to three days of parity rations at a time, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
"Obey the order!" His own soldiers suddenly received the order, divided several people, and rode to various grain stores in the city: "Lord Hou has an order, from today onwards, private grain trading is prohibited, according to household registration, each person is limited to three days of parity rations each time, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
"Master Hou, it's Master Hou here!"
"Master Hou, make the decision for us, these big profiteers are too hateful!"
"Kill them and cut down all these profiteers!"
When the people heard the order, they found Li Wenhao, "Hula," and all of them gathered around at once, and the crowd was furious.
"The people of Langya, I, Li Wenhao, promise you that I will never let you not be able to buy food, now you all go home and take out your household registration certificates, queue up to buy cheap grain, and if someone is found to be cheating, or repeat purchases, they will be severely punished!" Li Wenhao simply rode on a scaly horse and shouted directly to the people.
"Lord Hou is benevolent!"
"With Hou Ye's words, we are relieved!"
"Master Hou, we are refugees from other places, what should we do if we don't have a household registration?"
"If you don't have a household registration, you can go to the city lord's mansion yamen to apply for a temporary household registration!" Some specific questions, Wei Yu stepped forward to answer, and soon the people crowded at the door of the grain store dispersed.
"Marquis Langya, the people of the Central Plains are waiting to be fed, you don't let us buy grain, how can you bear it!"
"Yes, you are the marquis of our Great You Dynasty, you should think about our Great You people, how can you starve to death for these people in the Western Regions!"
"Sell grain, sell grain, if we don't sell grain, we will go to Kyoto City, sue the emperor, and let Your Majesty call the shots for us!"
Seeing that the people were dispersed, the merchants who rushed to buy food rushed up and stopped Li Wenhao and his party, all of them blushing and thick-necked, and shouting non-stop.
"Master Hou, we also buy grain for the people of the Central Plains, if you do this, you will not be afraid of being discredited and spurned by the people of the world, even Your Majesty will not be spared!" Zhang Guchun, the shopkeeper of the Zhang family's Wangcheng, walked out as a representative.
Zhang Gulin, the shopkeeper of Daha City, is his younger brother, and he hates Li Wenhao to the bone for this, and this time he single-handedly fanned the rush to buy grain.
"The purchase of grain at a high price is for the people of the Central Plains, joke, when did you seven clans and eight surnames care about the lives of the people!"
Li Wenhao's tone was low, and his expression was very disdainful: "Since you said that it is for the people of the Central Plains, it is okay, I will fulfill you!"
Come on, collect all the food that these people rushed to buy, sort it out, and send it to Tuke City, to those refugees from the Central Plains, just say that the seven clans and eight surnames have a little heart for the people!"
"Li Wenhao, you..." Zhang Guchun heard this, his face turned purple with anger.
He originally designed it, if Li Wenhao didn't stop it, they would be able to make a fortune, and even get a family award, once he stopped it, he could spread rumors everywhere and ruin Li Wenhao's reputation.
So no matter whether Li Wenhao stops it or not, he will win steadily, but he didn't expect Li Wenhao to come to such a move, isn't he a chicken and an egg, he didn't catch anything, and he suffered heavy losses.
"Come on, seize Zhang's firm, and everyone will be cut in half at three o'clock in the afternoon!" Li Wenhao didn't wait for Zhang Guchun to come back to his senses, and gave another order.
Joke, dare to make trouble for him Li Wenhao, how can he not die!
"Boom. The two pro-soldiers made up for it and knocked Zhang Guchun to the ground.
"Li Wenhao, you can't kill me because I bought grain for the people of the Central Plains!" Zhang Guchun was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, struggling and shouting desperately.
He had already made up his mind that as long as he held the righteousness of buying grain for the people of the Central Plains, Li Wenhao would not dare to kill him!
