Chapter 57: Richer than the Emperor

Compared with the clouds and mountains of the two old Shangshu, Cao Nai was much more direct, and shouted: "Yu Shoufu, please wait a minute!" Cao Wanzhong has something to discuss! ”

Yu Qian and Wang Zhi were side by side, and when they heard the call, they turned around, and Cao Nai had already come to his side.

"What's the matter?" Yu Qian asked indifferently.

"Dare to ask Lord Shoufu, but the emperor is dissatisfied with the recent situation so is he ready to take action?" Cao Nai's single knife went straight in.

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "I was in the new army before, and I don't know much about the rest of the things, so Wan Zhong still asked the saint directly." ”

"But Lord Shousuke has been back for half a month, so he should know something, right?" Cao Nairen did not give up.

Yu Qian just shook his head and said: "These days, I am mainly dealing with government affairs in the new army, and I haven't stepped into the palace gate a few times, so where is the news?" I'm going to be there soon, so there's no need to worry. ”

Although Cao Nai was unwilling, he could only leave behind and guess Zhu Qizhen's thoughts with Zhang Yi.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was sitting on the dragon chair, not wanting to look at the music as usual, but looking ahead, his fingers tapping on the table, as if he was waiting for some news.

Guo Mao hurriedly came and stood beside Zhu Qizhen and reported: "Your Majesty, they have begun to buy food on a large scale. ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Okay! Look carefully and be sure to find their warehouses and catch them all! ”

"Yes! Obey the order! ”

As soon as Guo Mao left, Jin Qi came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived, now let them in?" ”

Zhu Qizhen shook his head when he saw the hall that was not too big, and said, "The door is spacious, swing it." ”

With the communication of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the officials outside the Youshun Gate stood according to their positions, and after Zhu Qizhen came out, they bowed down together.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat!"

"You Aiqing must be curious, why did I suddenly summon you into the palace?" Zhu Qizhen looked at everyone in the field, but no one dared to answer.

"Hehe, everyone should have heard about the grain war in the capital now, right?" Zhu Qizhen chuckled and asked again.

This time, basically everyone reacted, but they didn't dare to raise their heads because of the etiquette, and the whispers were endless.

"Silence!" Jin Ying shouted, and then stepped back from Zhu Qizhen's gaze.

"I order you to raise your heads so that I can take a good look."

Zhu Qizhen looked at the ministers below, although there were not many of them calmly, but there were only those who were weak-hearted, and there were only those officials with fear, according to the common saying, the kind that followed the crowd.

"Okay, bow your head, since everyone knows about this, I won't go into details, just one thing, those new grains were brought back by Qi Yu, a total of fifteen million stones."

"What ?!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the court

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It was like a fried pot, and many people exclaimed.

"Do you know why I haven't moved before? I want to give some people a chance.

But I didn't expect that even in the face of the siege of the people, there were still people who did not repent.

When he arrives at the foot of the Nine Springs, do you still have the face to face your teacher and the Sage Confucius? ”

Zhu Qizhen's voice rolled down like a mighty heavenly sound, not because of anything else or because the palace was empty.

However, this did not affect the fact that these words were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people began to wipe cold sweat under this big sun.

"I know that there are some things that you are dissatisfied with and think that I have harmed your interests.

But after so many years of learning the way of Confucius and Mencius, the words of the sages, why have you forgotten that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat?

I don't want to preach, this time I'll convince you of the loss. ”

Everyone who was surprised by the emperor's words waited for a long time and didn't see the following, and the cold sweat under the scorching sun had become hot, soaking all the official uniforms.

The adults in the palace were sweating one by one, and the guys of Guangde Commercial Bank were in full swing with sacks, only Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen brothers were waiting for tea, human fans were waiting, and there was a cool place to wait.

Just when Zhu Qiyu refilled the fourth pot of water, he suddenly heard a cry of joy from the shop in front of him.

"Ahh I've finally bought it for you! A whole 10,000 stone of grain! How did you fit such a small shop? The strong man's tears mixed with sweat fell to the ground, blooming with water.

"But it doesn't matter! Not now, right? Yes! Ha ha! ”

The people who had been watching the excitement for half an hour only reacted at this time, no, no, no, can't they only buy expensive ones? Didn't you say that we would be guaranteed food to eat?

"You're out of food? So what do we do? "The eldest brother who questioned Guangde Commercial Bank came to question the shop again.

However, this guy didn't say anything unpleasant, but patiently explained: "Don't worry, everyone, it's not that there is no more, but this guest officer moved too fast, and he can't keep up with him for a while, wait a minute!" ”

The strong man looked at the guys who left suspiciously, but suddenly found that outside the backyard of the straight lead, there were several big men standing, and their voices could be heard from a distance.

The guy said, "Brothers, there are still guests waiting outside, why don't we hurry up!" ”

Then I only heard a rough voice, panting and saying, "Oh mom, don't rush, we're all tired to death."

I thought it was the best job to unload from the carriage, but you can't do it so fast, the carriage can't turn away, can you let the brothers rest? ”

The guy persuaded again: "It's still watching outside, you know, we're more special, let's hurry up!" ”

As soon as he said this, his rough voice was silent, and then the strong man didn't wait long to see the result he wanted......

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Bags of grain were brought into the store, and it didn't take long for them to be neatly stacked.

"Guest officer, please!"

The strong man's eyes were dark, and he was suffering from heat stroke......

An hour after the hundred officials entered the palace, Jin Qi brought the first news: "Your Majesty, the city's official grain has been traded in a large amount of more than 2.89 million stones. ”

Only then did the ministers suddenly understand that the emperor was going to use their methods to defeat them.

It's just the capital of fifteen million stones, and at the current price, it is 120 million taels of silver, and winning or losing is already a foregone conclusion.

"Why have there been more than 1,000 stalls in the city, at this speed, when will they be sold out, forget it, I should have left some people outside the palace to spread the message."

The boss's Versailles and the tone of the yin and yang people made these officials present tremble.

In front of Guangde Commercial Bank, the strong man who was rescued by Huoxiang Zhengqi Water has lost his arrogance at the beginning.

All the people who came with him were full of numbness, and this bag of food had no other use than to tire them out to death.

In their eyes, these are no longer precious grains comparable to gold and silver, but bags of life-urging talismans, and they want to vomit just by looking at the bags.

Finally, after a turn, when the strong man mechanically reached out for money, the bookkeeper did not respond in the slightest.

"Money! I'm going to work, people will see the money and give the goods! The strong man was a little impatient.

"No money......"

"What's gone! Get it...... What? Out of money? ”

The strong man suddenly reacted, grabbed the bookkeeper and didn't let go, and said with a face full of grievances: "What? What did you say? Out of money? Really out of money? ”

"Then let me see ...... again," said the bookkeeper, a little bewildered.

"Nope! I believe in you, sir! After the strong man dispersed the other party, he left like a gust of wind, followed by all the loading and unloading guys.

Another hour later, the sun was already setting in the west, and the scorching sunlight had slightly reduced its power, and Jin Qi brought a second piece of news.

"Your Majesty, since four or two hundred thousand stones a quarter of an hour ago, there has been no increase, I think they have no money."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this number, he was still taken aback, they had already hoarded at least millions of stone of grain, and they could even take out 40 million taels of silver to raise prices, which was more than the emperor's inner treasury.

These words fell on the ears of the adults, and some people began to wipe their sweat again, although the victory or defeat had already been decided, but the news fell like an arrow from the execution, and then the guillotine was used.

In the black market, the original rich have slumped on their chairs one by one, and even Guan De, who has always been confident, has changed color, and keeps muttering to himself:

"Where did Daming get the money? Even if the emperor's inner treasury is emptied, he can't buy this grain! Even now, their goods are still bottomless. ”
