The focus of "making a country difficult to make a fortune" is to make a fortune, not a national disaster.

Businessmen don't need any moral bottom line or prerequisites to make money, as long as they can make a fortune, they can do anything in any industry, and they dare to do anything risky.

The drought in the north was an excellent opportunity for businessmen to make a fortune.

The Prefecture Assassin Mansion purchased grain for forty wen a liter, and the news quickly spread in all directions.

Most of the grain merchants did not know Li Qinzai, the newly appointed assassin, but they knew a lot of information casually.

Li Qinzai is a very important courtier today, he is also the grandson of the British duke, and he was also named the county uncle by the Son of Heaven, and he has made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and he even wiped out the Wa Kingdom in the east.

These news are secondary, and there is another very important news for grain merchants.

Li Qinzai was ordered to be in danger this time, and was pinned on high hopes by the Son of Heaven, and before setting off from Chang'an, the state treasury had allocated sufficient money to Li Qinzai.

No one knows the exact amount of money allocated to him, the only thing known is that this money was a special favor given to Li Qinzai by the Son of Heaven.

Forty Wen bought grain and sold Si Wen to the people of Bingzhou, this completely abnormal business behavior proved that Li Qinzai brought a lot of money from Chang'an, so he had confidence.

It also proves that Li Qinzai doesn't care about money at all, what he wants is a merit that can make the eyes of the Son of Heaven shine, and it is a great merit that the state can survive this drought safely.

As a result, the grain merchants soon had a preconceived impression of Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai is not bad for money, and he needs merit.

And the grain merchants in the north just need money.

A match made in heaven!

After the Prefecture Assassin Mansion purchased grain in public at a price of 40 Wen, the news flew out, and in three days, something magical happened.

The grain merchants in the surrounding cities of Bingzhou flocked to the city with grain, and the originally depressed and depressed city of Bingzhou became lively overnight.

Li Qin's move of buying horse bones with his daughter finally attracted the grain merchants.

In the morning, I saw the convoy of grain merchants entering the city gate non-stop, and the people gathered around the city gate to watch the excitement, and everyone's face was filled with joy that could not be hidden.

The newly appointed assassin was worthy of being a powerful minister of the Son of Heaven, and he quietly let so many grain merchants regather in the city of Bingzhou.

The food shortage, which had hung in the hearts of the people for a long time, was finally resolved.

The people watched the excitement, but there were many sober and rational people.

There was no joy on the faces of these people, but a little worry on their faces.

Grain merchants from all over the world did come, but ...... Will Lee Stab Shi pay? Forty wen a liter, it is simply the price of killing pigs, and the dignified assassin is really willing to be slaughtered by these grain merchants?

Even if Li Tingshi is willing to be slaughtered by grain merchants for the livelihood of the people, the question is whether he has money? The Son of Heaven did allocate money from the treasury to him, but that money could never afford to pay for such a large amount of grain.

…………

and the state of the Thorn Mansion.

Liu Asi stood in front of Li Qinzai with a worried face to report.

"The convoy of grain merchants entered the city, and more than ten groups came from different cities, and now they are all staying in the inns of the city......

Liu Ah Si sighed and said, "I heard that they are going to come to the Assassin's Mansion tomorrow to visit Wu Shaolang, and ask when the Assassin's Mansion will pay for the grain, Wu Shaolang, what should I do, we don't have that much money." ”

Li Qinzai said lazily: "What's the hurry, the grain has entered Bingzhou City, and they still want to leave?" ”

Liu Asi said in surprise: "Do you really plan to ...... Snatched their food, right? ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "I'm a notorious gentleman, and it's not incomprehensible to occasionally do a few tricky things, right?" Think about how many things we robbed in the Japanese country when we destroyed the Japanese country......

Liu Ah Si said with a bitter face: "Fifth Shaolang, that's different, killing people in the enemy country and setting fire to looting are all right, but you can't rob them in Bingzhou, the villain heard that someone in Bingzhou has complained to Chang'an, and many imperial historians in the court are about to jointly impeach you." ”

Li Qinzai sneered: "It's a bit ridiculous to participate in impeachment or something." If Your Majesty really listens to the words of those officials and removes me, I will have your Majesty's surname. ”

Liu Asi kindly corrected: "You have the surname of Your Majesty, and your whole family has the surname of Your Majesty." ”

Li Qinzai's old face darkened: "Ah Si, it's been a little swollen recently, do you want me to transfer you back to Chang'an and rebuild it in front of my grandfather?" ”

Liu Asi hurriedly said for mercy.

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "Of course it is not possible to take it by skill, and it is a big trouble to have no money." How much did Your Majesty pay me? ”

"Fifty thousand."

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly, 50,000 guan is placed on an individual, it is indeed an astronomical amount, the price is low these days, and 50,000 guan is enough to spend two or three generations.

It can be used for the food and clothing of a city, and this amount of money is simply negligible.

"I won't come forward tomorrow, and when the grain merchants come, you will buy grain at a price of forty yuan, and all 50,000 yuan will be spent."

"However, Wu Shaolang, if the price is 40,000 yuan a liter, 50,000 yuan can't buy much ......"

Li Qinzai smiled mysteriously: "It's okay, you can buy as much as you want, and send it to the official warehouse as soon as you buy it." ”

"That's only enough to buy up the grain of a small number of grain merchants, and the rest of the grain merchants are still waiting, what should I do?"

"Let them wait, the grain sent to the official warehouse is resealed, and you lead the troops to send the grain out of the city in the middle of the night, and then send the grain back after dawn, and do this every night in the future......"

Liu Asi was surprised: "Why? ”

"Don't say it, just do it."

Early the next morning, the grain merchants gathered outside the gate of the Thorn Mansion.

Li Qinzai did not come forward, and it was still Liu Asi who received the grain merchants.

When the door of the house opened, the grain merchants entered, and they found dozens of large boxes piled up in the atrium, and when the boxes were opened, they were full of silver cakes and copper coins.

When the grain merchants saw it, their eyes flashed with a green and faint light, and their hearts were settled.

This is what they think about day and night.

The door of the house was open, and Liu Asi meticulously collected the grain and paid.

Liu Asi's movements were very slow, every bag of grain had to be carefully weighed, and every string of copper coins had to be counted before being paid to the grain merchants.

After a long time until the evening, 50,000 guan was almost spent, and the yard was piled up with sacks as high as a hill.

Liu Asi announced with a smile that it was time to rest today and continue to collect grain tomorrow.

Although the grain merchants expressed dissatisfaction with Liu Asi's slow movements, they could be sure that the Thorn Mansion was really rich, so they didn't care about it for a day or two, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.

The grain merchants, who had sold out of grain, counted the money happily and left Bingzhou overnight.

While this wave of dividends is still there, they have to Pegasus to rush back and continue to raise a batch of grain to sell in the state, bustling, profiteering, this is the golden season to make money.

The next day, the grain merchants who had not sold their grain continued to gather outside the gate of the Thorn Mansion, waiting for the gate to open and sell their grain.

Who knew that Liu Assi would come out only after three poles in the morning, and then told the grain merchants with an apologetic face that Li Tingshi occasionally felt a cold last night and fell ill this morning, and the matter of collecting grain was very important, and Li Tingshi must personally preside over it, so please wait for another day or two to continue to collect grain after Li Tingshi recovers.

The grain merchants were stunned, and the crowd suddenly became a little restless.

At this time, Li Qinzai came out, with a white scarf wrapped around his head, his steps were weak and staggering, and he was helped out by his subordinates left and right, his face was yellow, the cheekbones on both sides were slightly sunken, the eye circles were also black, and he coughed for a while after walking two steps, a typical image of a sick seedling.

Li Qinzai stood in front of the gate of the mansion and apologized to the grain merchants, and said that he would definitely continue to purchase grain, and asked the grain merchants to wait for two more days and personally preside over it when he recovered from his illness.

The grain merchants looked at each other suspiciously, although they felt that something was wrong, but Li Qinzai looked very sick, and he didn't want to suspect anything, so he said a few words of concern with hypocrisy, and then dispersed.

In the afternoon of the same day, a team of grain trucks entered the city of Bingzhou.

It is not uncommon for grain trucks to enter the city, and I have seen a lot of them in the past few days.

But this team of grain trucks is different, the escort is the messenger of the Thorn Mansion, and the exposed grain bags are actually marked with the seals of Jiangnan Luzhou and Jiangning Thorn Mansion.

The grain from the south of the Yangtze River arrived in Bingzhou without knowing it.

As the grain carts entered the city, various versions of the news circulated throughout the city.

The rumors that came out of nowhere were conclusive that the Son of Heaven was concerned about the drought in the north, and had issued an order two months ago to allocate grain from various cities in Jiangnan Province to the north through the Grand Canal.

Today's grain entering the city of Bingzhou is only the first batch.

The news spread throughout the city like a plague, and the grain merchants stationed in the city immediately exploded.
