The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Tang Tingbai sat on the Taishi chair of the red nanmu.

In front of him was a blank piece of paper, on which the specific amount of grain owned by the major families in Kyoto was clearly recorded.

Three hundred years of inheritance of the Zhou family, with 300 million catties of grain.

The Zhuge family, which has been inherited for 400 years, has 500 million catties of grain.

The Sikong family, which has a 400-year-old heritage, has 500 million catties of grain.

Zhong Lijia, a family with a five-hundred-year inheritance, has one billion catties of grain.

There are dozens of families, and the more Tang listens to Bai, the more frightened he becomes.

Because these families are only a few thousand people, but they have food that they can't eat for several lifetimes.

Why do the people of Dayan have no food? Why is there no silver?

The reason is simple, grain is not circulated among the people, and silver is not circulated in the market.

Therefore, no matter how Dayan develops, it must be a rich family and a poor people.

Tang Tingbai sneered, and he picked up the white paper that he had prepared a long time ago.

Pro-auto pen.

In fact, Tang Tingbai had already thought of a way to deal with this group of families.

He wants to expose the ugly face of the family and use the power of the people in the world to bring this hateful family to its knees.

Originally, Tang Tingbai also planned to spend money to buy it, so that both sides could be reasonable.

But these families are insatiable, so don't blame Tang Tingbai for being more shameless than them.

He wants to use the power of public opinion, he wants to start a newspaper.

Soon, the original version of a newspaper was written.

The newspaper is divided into four large sections.

In the first area, Tang Tingbai wrote down the figures of the grain owned by the major families, and showed that the families took the opportunity to raise the price of grain and wanted to make peace with the blood of the Great Yan Imperial Court.

In the second area, some news about people's livelihood and the situation in Goryeo was written.

In the third area, some chicken soup for the soul is written.

As for the fourth area, it is to attract investment, after all, you can't lose money by starting a newspaper.

"Yuan Fang, go and make copies of 100,000 copies and sell them at the price of a copper plate and a newspaper." Tang Tingbai spoke calmly.

Seeing the content of the newspaper, Li Yuanfang's face was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, one copper plate, we will definitely owe it." ”

Tang Tingbai smiled: "I didn't start a newspaper to make money from the people, my purpose was to give benefits to the people, understand?" ”

"My subordinates will go."

Li Yuanfang is not a fool, so he naturally knows the reaction of the people when the newspaper is sent out.

At noon that day, thousands of Nishiki guards walked the streets of Kyoto with 100,000 newspapers.

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, written by the emperor himself today, a copper plate, you can't buy it and suffer a loss, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled." The brocade guards shouted hard.

And the people around him were full of curiosity.

"One copper plate, one piece? When did paper become so cheap? I want to buy one, since it is the emperor's business, then we must support it, after all, the emperor has done a lot of good things for our people. ”

"Yes, you have to buy one, it's just a copper plate, after all, there are so many words on that blank paper, it's definitely worth the money."

"It's a pity that Lao Tzu is illiterate, otherwise Lao Tzu would buy one high and low."

“……”

The people were talking.

Soon, 100,000 newspapers were sold out.

Dayan, Yuelai Inn.

A man standing on a table, holding aloft the newspaper he had just finished reading, his face full of anger.

"Brothers, have you read all the newspapers?"

"This group of hateful families even dared to raise the price of food, they didn't even want to lose face in order to make money, it's really damn good."

"We should go to the door of the major families and force them to donate food, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, in the past, when they made money, everyone was not angry, but now that Dayan has encountered a crisis, it is time for these families to stand up, do we raise these families to let them drink the blood of the imperial court?"

“……”

Inside the inn, a group of scholars were full of anger.

Many illiterate people were even more angry.

They are all people who live at the bottom, and they can barely fill their stomachs by toiling every day.

Especially since yesterday, the price of grain has become ten times more expensive.

As a result, many people can't even afford to eat.

You must know that the people at the bottom of Kyoto themselves can't even eat enough, and they can't afford to store food.

And these families are the culprits that cause them to go hungry, how can they not hate.

Some people are even so hungry that their stomachs are sour.

Haohan Street, Zhou's house.

This is the residence of Zhou Guangkun, the ministry hall, and it is also the center of the entire Zhou family.

At this moment, tens of thousands of indignant people blocked the gate, shouting slogans neatly.

"Old dog Zhou, you have no conscience."

"In order to make money, pit folks."

"Hand over the grain immediately, or we'll rush in and cramp your old dog's head, cramp!"

And the interior of the Zhou family.

Dozens of high-ranking members of the Zhou family had gloomy faces.

There are even some young people who have already filled the killing intent.

Zhou Guangkun sat on the chair and didn't say a word.

"Master, you should say something, what should we do with those untouchables at the door?"

"Yes, let them keep making trouble at the door of Zhou's house, where is the face of my Zhou family? It's better for me to lead someone to kill all these untouchables on the charge of rebellion, even if the emperor asks, we are justified. ”

"By no means, have you forgotten Tang Tingbai's tyrant mad dog-like character? If we kill the people of Dayan, with the temper of that tyrant, we may even be wiped out, and at that time, our food and silver will become Tang Tingbai's things. ”

"Maybe this is the conspiracy of that tyrant, that is, he wants us to kill these untouchables, and he has a reason to attack us."

“……”

Everyone was talking, and all eyes looked at Zhou Guangkun.

After a long time, Zhou Guangkun stood up.

He sighed: "I'll enter the palace now, the price of one tael of silver and five catties of rice is indeed a bit excessive, but I will try my best to fight for the interests of the family, you should also know to be satisfied, don't be insatiable." ”

After speaking, Zhou Guangkun turned around and left.

Although the gate of the Zhou family was surrounded by people, there were several small doors of the Zhou family.

In fact, even Zhou Guangkun, who is the head of the family, is very helpless.

Although he is the head of the entire Zhou family, there are some things that he cannot say.

For example, the pricing of grain this time.

As a minister, he wanted to sell grain to the imperial court at a normal price.

Although it didn't make much money, its original intention was to help the imperial court through the crisis.

But the top management of the Zhou family disagreed.

It is impossible for Zhou Guangkun to offend the entire Zhou family's high-level for the sake of a Tang Tingbai.

At the same time, a similar scene took place in Kyoto's major families.

Numerous angry people gathered around their gates.

All kinds of harsh invectives, and even some hot-tempered people have begun to slam on the door.

Although the major families were very angry, they were all murderous.

But they all calmed down.

After this period of contact, they clearly knew the temper of the tyrant Tang Tingbai.

wantonly inflated the price of grain, Tang Tingbai couldn't say anything, but if he killed the people of Dayan in public, it would definitely be a big crime to rob the family and destroy the ancestors.

Dayan, the palace of nourishing the heart.

Tang Tingbai leaned back on the Taishi's chair and hummed a song from his previous life.

"If you sneeze all of a sudden, it must be me ......"

Before Tang finished listening to Bai's singing, Li Yuanfang, the commander of Jinyiwei, had already walked in happily.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have already arranged for Jinyiwei to be among the people, as long as the family makes any rash moves, Jinyiwei will take action."

"At the same time, the heads of the major families gathered at the gate of the palace to ask to see you."

Hearing this, Tang Tingbai also smiled.

It's just that there is a hint of disdain on his face.

These families that have been inherited for hundreds of years are fighting with him?

They are not opponents at all.

Hey, how lonely is invincible?

Tang Tingbai yawned: "I'm tired, sleep first, and then let them enter the palace after two hours!" ”

Li Yuanfang smiled: "My subordinates understand!" ”

At this moment, at the gate of the palace.

Sun Bo, the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhou Guangkun of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs is thunderous.

Wang Changlin, the head of the Ministry of Industry, stood at the gate of the palace.

Behind them stood some officials, but their official positions were obviously not as high as the three of them.

"Lord Gongsun, the emperor doesn't see us, what do you say?" Wang Changlin's face was full of anxiety.

"Hehe, what's the hurry, the emperor is playing with a child's temper, let's wait, time, we have it!" Gongsun Bo's face was full of confident smiles.

"Waiting? It's light to say, when the old man came out, there were already some untouchables pulling poop at the door of my Zhou house! Zhou Guangkun snorted coldly.

The rest of the officials did not speak, and their faces were full of indignation.

They are all families, and they are all scholars.

Unexpectedly, I met a group of scoundrels.

I can't beat it.

It's reasonable, but it doesn't make sense at all.

In this group of officials.

There is a second product department.

There are Kyoto Yamen Prefecture Yin and Fu Cheng.

There are also Jiuqing Yamen Zhengqing.

As for the governors, governors, langzhong, and waiters, there are countless of them.

Soon, two hours passed.

The officials were anxiously waiting, and their faces were not good-looking.

"Hmph, what does the emperor mean by this? How can you neglect us so much? ”

"That is, we are all scholars, since ancient times, the Son of Heaven and scholars have shared the world, the emperor does not attach importance to us and other scholars, isn't he afraid that we will take refuge in other countries?"

"Shut up, be careful that the emperor hears this, and treat you for the crime of disrespect."

“……”

At this moment, the gates of the palace opened.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Li Yuanfang walk out with a smile on his face.

He nodded slightly at Zhou Guangkun, Gongsun Bo and Cang Lei to say hello: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait for a long time, the emperor is waiting for you in the Xuanzheng Palace......"
