Chapter 405: Cai Jing's Helpless Compromise

Wang Hanzhi, Wu Juhou and the others were also very dissatisfied with Qin Hui's answer, and Qi Qi frowned.

Qin Hui smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Lord Cai, everyone, do you still think that you can bring down Jiang Chen in the matter of grain prices?"

Could it be that the official family's concealment of Cai Xiang and Liu Feng's going to occupy the city to collect grain is not enough to arouse your vigilance? What we are thinking about now should be how to protect ourselves and how to help Cai Xiang stabilize his phase! ”

"Yes."

Cai Jing nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Now He Su, Lan Congxi, Tan Zhen and others have all been calculated by that little traitor, Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian are ambiguous, and the nobles in the palace are all praising the little traitor for being good;

With the support of the Zhang family, the Xiang family, the Sun family, etc., before Tong Guan returns to Beijing, we should indeed be more cautious and careful! ”

"The prime minister is right!

If you lose money, you can still earn it back, but if you fall to the point of raiding your home and going to prison like Meng Changling and Cui Hao, you will never recover! ”

When the white time is neutral, he echoes his words.

He has always been cautious and cautious, and he just makes a show when he collects grain, and even if he loses, he can't lose much, so he doesn't care much at all.

Li Bangyan saw Cai Jing's clear attitude, and also spoke: "Actually, the prime minister and you don't need to be so worried!" In my opinion, the real goal of the official family and Jiang Chen is the diehard loyalty of Confucianism, as long as we stop from the precipice and do not continue to participate in it, we will definitely be able to retreat! ”

"Xia Guan thinks the same way!"

Qin Hui immediately praised Li Bangyan and said to Cai Jing: "Cai Xiang, I don't know if Jiang Chen's scourge was intentional or unintentional, I said something similar to the lower official a few days ago. ”

"Oh? What exactly did he say? You say it word for word! Cai Jing straightened his waist and stared at Qin Hui tightly.

"Yes!"

Qin Hui respectfully saluted: "Jiang Chen's traitor said this at the time: Yes, do you say that Cai Xiang is old, that ...... is old, knowing that the official family wants to promote the Great Song Dynasty, carry forward the rationality, and stabilize prices, but he still follows the Confucian sect and makes a fool of himself.

It's just a fuss, and he was caught by Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Division without knowing it, I really don't know how he has done it for so many years?

You have to remind him if you have time, don't ask the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, that wouldn't be good! ”

"What?"

What did he mean by that? Could it be that the officials already knew about our grain hoarding? ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Cai Qian was even more frightened that cold sweat broke out in his palms: "What does it mean for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person?" Is he talking about me? ”

"The lower official doesn't know, the lower official is afraid that he will deceive me, so he didn't dare to answer this question!" Qin Hui shook his head with a wry smile.

"Well, this is indeed the little traitor's style of speaking! Looks like we all underestimated him! Now I'm afraid that it has long been a man-made knife, and I am a fish! ”

Cai Jing nodded with a dark old face, and sighed abruptly: "No wonder the official family has not discussed anything with the prime minister recently, I thought that the official family was just suspicious, but I didn't expect it...... Alas! ”

"So far, how can it be good?" Cai Qian was a little panicked.

"Do what the meeting says, since he wants to collect grain, then let's sell it to him!" Cai Jing said, picking up the teacup with a tired face.

"Huh? Did you really sell it to him?

What if he tricked us through Qin Hui? ”

Cai Juan's face was full of reluctance.

"That's it! What can he do with us? ”

Wang Zhongyi was anxious, but he had invested all his family resources into it, but he was unwilling to admit defeat so easily, so he craned his neck and said: "I don't believe that while he is fighting with the Kong family, he dares to break the net with us!" ”

Cai Jing glanced at Wang Zhongyi, and felt disgust in his heart.

He thinks that he has been in trouble with Jiang Chen to this point today, and he is completely harmed by this unlucky old man.

So he said to Wang Zhongyu: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, since the affairs of Jiangnan are fully entrusted to you, you should use more dim sum, and after Fang La is destroyed, I will ask for credit for you." In the future, you will naturally have a chance to take revenge! ”

"Yes, thank you Cai Xiang for promoting!"

Wang Zhongyu bowed with joy on his face.

Most people here have some understanding of the situation in Jiangnan, but he was deliberately kept in the dark and became Cai Xuan's scapegoat without knowing it, and he was complacent that he thought he had been reused by Cai Jing!

"Alright, let's all disperse! As for how you decide, the Prime Minister will not interfere too much, just be careful! ”

Cai Jing saw that it was not easy to serve tea to the guests, so he waved his hand directly.

After everyone left, he was afraid that his son Cai Qian would not be able to wipe his face, and he didn't want people to think that he was afraid of Jiang Chen.

After thinking about it for a while, he ordered the official family to open the grain store and start selling grain at the same price as Yuqing Villa.

As soon as this news came out, many people who were watching on the sidelines immediately couldn't sit still!

Han Xiaoxuan of the Han family, Chen Zixi of the Chen family, Lu Yiqian of the Lu family and other wealthy families of the Northern Song Dynasty got together to discuss, although they knew that Jiang Chen's continuous price reduction was persecutive, they still pinched their noses and admitted it, and each sent the official family to Yuqing Villa.

They didn't know that there was no food in Yuqing Villa, and they didn't know that the grain transported by Liu Feng had already been sold out by Jiang Chen, except for a small amount used to pretend to act, the sacks on the other boats were filled with mud and sand;

They only know that if they don't sell it today, tomorrow's grain will be reduced to ten wen, or even lower.

As for the price increase, even Cai Xiang has expressed his support for this matter in disguise, how can it rise? Did you run to support the Kong family, the official family and Jiang Chen?

Cui Hao, Meng Changling, and Kong Duancao are still in prison!

They don't dare to gamble, and they can't afford to gamble!

I can only hope that Jiang Chen's conscience will find out and let them earn back their losses in spinning mills and other businesses.

Jiang Chen did not disappoint them, not only did he receive all the grain at the current price, but also strongly supported them in their hurry to establish a spinning factory, and gave them apprenticeships to come to Yuqing Villa to learn how to make Yunxiu spinning machines.

This made the Han family and the Chen family and other wealthy families feel a lot better.

But Wang Zhongyi and Kong Duanyou were almost blind!

Everyone knows that with these wealthy families compromising and selling all their grain stocks to the Royal Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible for food prices to rise.

What made them vomit blood even more was that Jiang Chen did what he said, and the price of food was directly reduced to ten wen a liter the next day.

This is not the most absolute, the most absolute thing is that for the family who wants to compromise and sell grain again, Jiang Chen refuses to accept it!

also published a notice in the Jimin Daily: The three-day appointment has passed, and Yuqing Villa will no longer accept grain! The next batch of grain for a few cents a liter will arrive soon, why should this official accept you ten cents a liter? Please don't take the benevolence of the officials and their own officials as stupid and deceitful, okay?

This move made all the people who waited and watched, and those who hoarded food, completely panicked!
