As soon as Jiang Chen heard it, he knew that someone had run to Song Huizong to give him eye medicine, and Song Huizong was suspicious of this matter, so he shook his head and said in denial: "Master, do you remember what your disciple mentioned to you, someone maliciously hoarded grain, wanting to create a food shortage and cause turmoil in the country?" ”

"Huh? Are you saying that these two things are related? ”

Song Huizong's face changed suddenly.

"It's impossible to know for sure yet!"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "The disciple just feels that the extermination of the rebel thief this time is too smooth.

Neither encountered decent resistance, nor did they find the food and weapons needed for the rebellion, but they found the dragon robe and jade seal and the dead soldiers who had blended into the palace.

So the disciple couldn't help but think that these people were either wronged by others, or they had other calculations and planned to seize power and usurp the throne in an unexpected way! ”

"Are you saying that they plan to use the price of food to cause panic and unrest, and then take the opportunity to enter the palace through the secret passage and carry out the plan to capture the dragon?

Then use the hoarded grain to buy the hearts of the people, sit on the ninety-five, and put all the blame on my head? ”

Under Jiang Chen's guidance, Song Huizong couldn't help but have such thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"If they want to rebel, this is the most feasible way."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Otherwise, why do Guo Haochu and the others frequently join forces with the wealthy families to force their disciples to hand over the distillation process?" Even at the expense of stealing the secret recipe by despicable means, and then can't wait to produce it?

If this can be explained by their greed for money.

Then why are so many wealthy families suddenly stockpiling a large amount of grain this year, you must know that the autumn harvest is coming soon, doesn't the master of tuning grain feel very contrary to common sense at this time? ”

"Not bad!"

Song Huizong clenched his fists angrily, and said hatefully: "I was worried that I had wronged and blamed them, so I had mercy everywhere, but now it seems that the ambition of this group of wolves is simply a crime that deserves death."

If you hadn't insisted on exterminating the old pole, I would have been in danger without knowing it! ”

"Master doesn't have to be so angry!

With your benevolence and sagefulness, if it is said that all these people are involved in the rebellion, the disciple will be the first to disbelieve. The vast majority of them are just lured by wealth and taken advantage of! ”

Jiang Chen was relieved at first, and then changed his words and said: "But since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, if there is no food to eat, the people can do anything in order to survive.

They couldn't possibly not know that! Doing so for the sake of wealth shows that he doesn't have any social affairs in his heart, and he doesn't care who is the king. ”

"Humph! It's really a bunch of fatherless things! ”

Song Huizong was so angry that he gritted his teeth and asked angrily, "Liangchen, what should you do with them in your opinion?" ”

"Release a batch, kill a batch, punish a batch!"

Jiang Chen replied: "Kong Duancao and other famous people should be released, so as not to force the dog to jump over the wall and disturb the society; Wu Shan and Hu Qi and other vicious profiteers and clan members should raid their homes and behead them, so as to set an example and strictly enforce the law;

Jiang Gaocen and Wei Liangji and other officials and eunuchs should be punished, and they should be punished lightly to show the kindness of the master, and the courtiers must be grateful to Dai De and be more loyal to the master! ”

While speaking, Jiang Chen added in a low voice: "Wu Shan and Hu Qi have gained a lot from colluding with officials and businessmen over the years. If their homes are raided, then the food and wages that pacify Jiangnan and give relief to the people will be rich and surplus! ”

"Good! This matter will be done according to your wishes. ”

Song Huizong was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's proposal, thinking that this was the safest, but he always felt a little unwilling in his heart.

So he asked, "Does Liu Feng have any news back?" Are you prepared for the war on food prices? I let them go so easily, and I am very unhappy! ”

"Lord Liu has not yet sent back any news."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "But Master doesn't have to worry, Huainan has a bumper harvest this year, plus Zong Ze is as stable as Mount Tai, Bianjing will not be short of food in the short term, which is enough to drag Lord Liu back from transporting grain." ”

When Song Huizong heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's not proper!" Now that the distilled spirits process has fallen into the hands of the Maison, what if they use all the grain to make wine? Isn't there going to be a big mess? ”

"Master don't worry!"

Jiang Chen smiled disapprerovingly: "The disciple has long expected this, and has already begun to lower the price of ordinary distilled spirits.

If they wanted to make a satisfactory profit, they had to mix distilled liquor with liquor (glycerin) to make immortal drunkenness. In addition to the disciples, there is no second person who can develop Jiulu.

Therefore, for those who simply want to make a profit, in order to obtain wine dew, they will definitely compromise with their disciples, hand over the reserve grain, and control the production of wine. ”

And those who have ill intentions will definitely find ways to continue to maliciously store grain.

This way, I can easily tell the difference! When it comes time to deal with them, the Manchu civil and military forces will definitely be indisputable!

Haha, well, that's a great idea! ”

Song Huizong smiled knowingly, and finally knew where Jiang Chen's confidence was, because it was really not good, and in the end, he could copy those distinguished wealthy families, so as to obtain grain and stabilize food prices.

"Master Shengming!"

Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the small tricks he and Yang Jian had engaged in would be discovered by Song Huizong.

At the same time, he was also worried about Liu Feng, who had not sent back the news for nearly three months, in case something happened to Liu Feng, it would be really difficult for him, the person who recommended him, to explain to Liu Guifei.

But fortunately, the next afternoon, Jiang Ping brought Liu San, the messenger sent back by Liu Feng.

Jiang Chen was worried that the matter of borrowing chickens to lay eggs and buying and selling colored glass would be found abnormal if it was carried out in Bianjing, so he asked his cousin Jiang Ping to escort a group of craftsmen to Haizhou, where the Jiang family was located, to choose a place to make colored glass, and by the way, he hired a foreigner to pretend to be Savadika.

didn't want Jiang Ping to encounter bandits on the road, so Jiang Ping and Jimin Jun took out the short-distance killing weapon that Jiang Chen asked the craftsmen to specially make-Serial Fury.

After a volley, he directly chased after the thieves and took the bandits' lair.

originally wanted to eliminate harm for the people by the way, but unexpectedly, Liu San and others who were caught by the thieves and imprisoned in the cottage were rescued......

After learning what had happened, Jiang Chen's expression was wonderful and he was speechless for a long time.

Liu San was even more embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "My lord, everything is going well for my son-in-law to go to Zhancheng, where the grain is not only ripe three times a year, the reserves are huge, but also extremely cheap, once the price is less than five hundred Wen!" ”

Now my son-in-law has purchased a sufficient quantity, the only trouble is that our grain ship is insufficient, and the son-in-law is worried that it will delay your important matter, so he asked Deputy Commander Zhou to take the villain and others to escort a batch back.

This batch of grain is probably enough for three months in Bianjing, and when the villain came to report the news, he had already begun to unload the ship in Chuzhou, and it would be transported to the place designated by the adults within ten days. ”
