When Li Chengqian was calculating others, those scholars in Chang'an were also calculating him.

This is the way of the world, everyone is calculating.

That night, after everyone passed their ideas back to the clan, even Wang Shilang felt that the clan would not agree.

After all, his method is too yin and too ......

But who knows, the next day, the so-called notebook has been widely spread in the noble circle of Chang'an City.

At first, they thought it was Wang Dequan who started selling this notebook.

As a result, I went to inquire, good guy, this is a gift.

As long as you order tables and chairs in Changming shops, you will get this thing.

As a result, they couldn't verify how much the notebook costed.

In desperation, they also ordered a set of tables and chairs, and sent the notebook back to the clan.

After receiving the notebook, the old stubborns in the clan probably had also discussed, but as for the result, they didn't know.

Initial domain name: m.

But after that, grain continued to be transported to Chang'an from all over the country.

As a large city with a population of one million, Chang'an's annual food consumption can be imagined.

When something like this happened, Zheng Xu and the others also realized that the family's counterattack was about to begin.

I have to say that the courage of these people is really not comparable to ordinary people.

If it starts with food, it ends with food.

The people of Chang'an City didn't feel much when they saw so much grain entering the city.

No matter how much food they have, they are not given for no reason.

It will not be because there is more food, the price will be cheaper, and for them, the impact is actually not big.

Just after the grain was concentrated in the largest grain store warehouse in Chang'an City, on the same day, the largest grain store in Chang'an announced that the price of grain per stone would be reduced by one penny.

It's not a big discount, but for the people, it's still very happy.

This indicates that food prices are stable.

Stable food prices are of the utmost importance to the people.

The price of food has been a big problem since ancient times, and it is not okay to be too expensive, and it is not okay to be too cheap.

The grain is expensive and hurts the people, and the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants.

To see how a country is doing as a whole, it is only necessary to look at whether food prices are stable or not.

That night, Wang Dequan was discussing things with everyone in the restaurant, and when he heard the news, he shook his head and said: "If the grain price of the Ming Dynasty is like Chang'an, it is estimated that His Highness can wake up with a smile when he dreams." ”

He is now thinking about the problem from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty.

The entire Ming royal court, who really enjoys the benefits of the Ming royal court, is estimated to be the only one of them.

There is no way, he can feel the importance of the Ming Dynasty to him most in Chang'an.

If it weren't for the fact that he was an official of the Ming Dynasty and the palace of the Tang Dynasty, he would never have been able to step into it in his life!

His glory today, in the final analysis, is all given to him by the Ming court.

"Sooner or later, there will be a day." The guy said with a smile.

This guy is also the Wang family, although he is a guy in the restaurant, but everyone is clear in their hearts, this restaurant is the envoy group of the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty.

In the words of later generations, they are at least career editors! The future is not without the opportunity to step into the public career.

As for the price of grain, the price of grain in the Ming Dynasty is more than 30% higher than that of Chang'an.

Of course, this difference has already been earned back by them, but it doesn't have much impact on the Ming court.

"You're all doing a good job." Wang Dequan said with a smile, "One day, His Royal Highness will call me back to the court, and this Changming Restaurant and Changming shops will have to be handed over to you." ”

Enjoying the benefits brought by the Ming Dynasty, Wang Dequan is very grateful.

Now in Chang'an City, who dares to look down on him?

The guys smiled and hurriedly said that they would work hard.

"It's water, it's water!"

But at this moment, a sudden shout came from outside the window!

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, where did they go to the water?

Immediately go to the window and take a look, good fellow, that's a blazing fire!

Everyone is frightened, this Zhu Rong rises to the sky, and it is autumn, this fire is not good, I am afraid that it will spread throughout Chang'an!

"Who knows where it goes?" Wang Dequan asked.

One of the guys looked at it and said, "It looks like the West Market, but it's hard to say where it is." ”

"Evil, the grain shop has run out of water!" At this moment, someone on the street beat his feet and chests.

When Wang Dequan heard this, he was also sorry.

If it weren't for the curfew, he would have taken everyone with him to help.

In this era, no matter what feuds and grievances the two families have, as long as it involves food, they have to let go of past grievances.

To save the food, the two families are still clearly divided.

And in the palace, when Li Er received the news, he also stood up suddenly, and immediately asked the army to help put out the fire.

If the autumn is high and the day is cool, one more delay may make the fire even bigger.

He himself walked to the palace wall, looked at the direction of the fire, and couldn't stop sighing.

Fire and water are merciless!

This night, Chang'an is destined to be a sleepless night, and countless people are paying attention to this fire.

Wei Zheng, a model worker, even arrived at the scene of the fire in person, and couldn't help but weep.

That's burning grain!

Not long after the world was peaceful, it was still early for the people of Guotai to be safe, how many people were burned by this fire after a year's hard work?

God is unfair!

In Zheng's house, Zheng Xu had not yet gone to bed, sitting alone in the courtyard, looking at the fire in the distance, drinking stuffy wine.

O iniquity! Iniquity......

In order to fight back against Li Chengqian, what did they do?

There were millions of stone grains, and a fire was dedicated to Zhu Rong, and he was uneasy!

It's going to be struck!

On that day, Wang Shilang's proposed method was to burn the grain shop!

It's just that their family has done more ruthlessly and desperately!

Burning a grain shop can't make the court pay attention to it, so they burned millions of stone of grain in one go!

These million stones of grain are worth tens of thousands of yuan, but they say that they will burn it!

Just to fight back!

This world is really crazy......

Of course, this also shows their urgency.

Li Chengqian's cheap paper and printing technology that they didn't understand really made them feel threatened.

They wanted to fight back, to curb the export of grain, and to make it difficult for Li Chengqian's Ming court.

Compared to the roots they rely on for survival, this million-stone grain worth tens of thousands of guan will be burned when it is burned.

In fact, for them, this loss is really nothing, dozens of families, one can bear a few thousand, they can afford it.

But can the Ming court withstand the impact of food shortages?

The Wang family, Wang Shilang drank three cups, and he smiled.

Even if they are punished by God, it is time for them to fight back, he has had enough of the days when he has been led by Li Chengqian's nose!

"Come on, this official wants to play!" Wang Shilang shouted, and with the strength of the wine, he sprinkled more than a thousand words and waved his pen.

This night, countless people in Chang'an City were waiting for the fire to be extinguished.

This night, countless people in Chang'an City were writing with their pens.

This night, countless people in Chang'an City were worried about the price of food tomorrow......

By daylight, the fire was finally contained, but it was contained, not extinguished.

After the curfew ended, countless people rushed in the direction of the fire, some with pots and some with buckets, and everyone was trying to extinguish this unjustified disaster.

And today, the Great Pilgrimage.

Countless people carried the music in their sleeves.

There was a fire last night, and they all had something to say.

On the dragon chair, Li Er was a little sleepy, and he didn't rest well last night.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a performance." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Er nodded.

Fang Xuanling said: "Last night Zhu Rong came to commit a crime, burned down the largest grain shop in Chang'an City, the people were panicked, fearing that some businessmen would take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, causing civil unrest. ”

As a servant of the court, Fang Xuanling is quite qualified.

When the fire first broke out last night, he was thinking about countermeasures.

Although a fire burned a lot of grain, but for today's Datang, millions of stone of grain can not be broken, you know, in Chang'an alone, more than millions of stone of grain are consumed a year.

The only thing worth worrying about is the temporary food shortage, which will cause panic among the people of Chang'an City, after all, everyone is hungry and afraid...... Another is to guard against black-hearted businessmen taking advantage of the situation to raise grain prices and cause civil unrest.

Obviously, Fang Xuanling took these two points into consideration.

Li Er nodded, Fang Xuanling's countermeasures were no problem, and he agreed immediately.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a performance." Then, Xiao Yu also stood up and said.

Li Er motioned for him to continue.

Xiao Yu said: "Weichen asked for a strict investigation into the matter of the grain shop running away from the water last night, and millions of stones of grain were destroyed and burned, even if it was not from the imperial court, but it was also from the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Wei Zheng went out of the class.

Then, Kong Yingda also stood up: "Weichen seconded the proposal." ”

The thought of the destruction of millions of stones of grain made everyone's hearts ache.

That's food!

How many lives can be lived?

Li Er nodded and said, "This matter will be handed over to Chang'an County." ”

The investigation must be investigated, even if they don't say it, Li Er will definitely investigate.

Millions of stones of grain were destroyed, and he Li Er was not distressed?

Xiao Yu is right, even if it is not from the imperial court, it is also from the Tang Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a performance." At this moment, an unexpected person stood up, this person is the future generation of famous ministers, Ma Zhou.

And Wang Shilang and the others, who were just about to stand up, shrank back when they saw this.

After getting Li Er's signal, Ma Zhou said: "Weichen, please strictly investigate the merchants, now the Tang Dynasty merchants are profit-seeking and forgetful, and even more so they transport grain out of the realm of the Tang Dynasty and sell it to other countries for profit, this wind cannot rise!" Don't drum up on this trip!

In the past, Weichen didn't feel that it was powerful, but last night Zhu Rong came to commit a crime and destroyed my Datang million stone grain, although it was a natural disaster, but it was a natural disaster, which made the people of Chang'an panic, and the reason for this was food.

Although the Tang Dynasty has been in good weather in the past two years, not every household has surplus grain, how can we let the businessmen sell grain to other countries, and how should we deal with it when the country is in danger?

After all, natural disasters are measured.

Moreover, the people of the Tang Dynasty still do not have enough food and clothing, so how can they have surplus grain to sell to other countries.

I hope Your Majesty will investigate strictly! ”

For Ma Zhou, Li Er still knows, but he is often recommended, and he does have his talent to enter the office.

Moreover, this person was born in poverty, and he was most worried about the suffering of the people on weekdays.

Immediately, Li Er nodded.

This matter is actually interesting, that is to say, it is Ma Zhou who is saying this, and Li Er knows his intentions. If Wang Shilang and the others had just said this in front, then Li Er would have thought about it again.

No way, everyone's demands are different, even if they say the same thing, the purpose is different.

When Ma Zhou said this, it was called for the country and the people, Wang Shilang and others spoke, hehe, there must be selfishness.

When Wang Shilang and the others heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and they also went out and said: "Weichen seconded it!" The businessman forgot his righteousness when he saw the profit, but there was something wrong, and Weichen believed that when the business road was closed for the time being, he would first check it and then decide whether to reopen the business road. ”

He is more ruthless than Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou just wants to keep more food for Datang, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he even cuts off the business road for you.

But who doesn't know, who cares if the business is closed or not?

Hearing him say this, Li Er understood.

You don't set this fire!

However, Li Er was still a little skeptical.

Millions of stone grain, tens of thousands of dollars, these misers have such great courage?

He said that these guys are misers, but they don't just come with their mouths open, as far as these people's homes, who doesn't hide a lot of copper coins, and they have to pick a special day every year to secretly clean it at night?

Isn't this Scrooge what?

However, he still underestimated the pressure that Li Chengqian had created on them.

When it really came to the time when the Shi Clan Mansion was about to collapse, not to mention tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars could not save their inheritance from generation to generation.

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the proposal." Just as Li Er was groaning, Cui Yushi also stood up.

It didn't take long for more and more people to come forward.

Among them, there are officials from poor families, as well as officials from the noble clan, including noble officials.

A fire last night made them feel the crisis.

Ma Zhou is right in saying that natural disasters are measured, and no one knows when the next natural disaster will come unexpectedly.

Datang is the root.

Even if everyone knows that this article is actually aimed at the Ming Dynasty, after all, the only place where the Tang Dynasty exports grain is now the Ming Dynasty, but everyone still has to pay attention to the Tang Dynasty.

This is what a Tang courtier should think about.

In the court of the Tang Dynasty, worrying about the Ming Dynasty, what is it called?

That's a traitor!

The ass has to be straight!

No matter who founded the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was the only object of their allegiance.

"It is natural to strictly investigate the merchants, but when it comes to closing the business road, is it too nervous?" The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Now that my Datang is reviving business, once the business road is closed, how much tax will be lost every day, do you know?" ”

"Qi Guogong misunderstood." Ma Zhou immediately said, "The lower officials only suggested that the grain should be strictly inspected and exported abroad, not that the business road should be closed. ”

Ma Zhou is not stupid, he can't bear the grain going abroad, Zhurong came last night, it did make him see the catastrophe, but he didn't mean to close the business.

After all, commercial taxes were also one of the important revenues of the imperial court.

As for the reason why the scholars want to close the trade route, everyone understands that they want to ban cheap paper from entering the country, and to go deeper, they want to curb the commercial development of the Ming Dynasty.

But cheap paper is good news for a poor student like him.

The reason why he turned a blind eye to the grain leaving the country before was because the cheap paper of the Ming Dynasty really benefited a poor student like him.

Moreover, at that time, he also felt that Datang was not without food, so it was good to sell something.

But last night's incident made him realize that Datang had not yet reached the point where it could resist all crises, and it was then that he realized that if the Ming Dynasty did not return to Tang for a day, it would only be the Ming Dynasty!

As for why the eldest grandson Wuji stood up, it is more interesting.

It doesn't matter if you want to ban the food of the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't care, but if you want to close the business between the two countries, then he cares, you know, his eldest grandson's family has now become the largest paper supplier in the entire Tang Dynasty, not to mention anything else, just in terms of paper, his eldest grandson's family makes more than 10,000 yuan every year?

If you cut off my financial means, of course I won't do it.

It's all about profit.

Then, many people jumped out to refute the closure of the business road, joking, everyone is profitable, you are going to let everyone go back to the time when they were poor before?

Who the is doing this?

Among them, there are also those noble officials who have just stood up, and they immediately realized the problem, just felt that Ma Zhou was reasonable, and listened to Wang Shilang is second, but ignored his later words, and immediately, someone stood up and said: "Yes, what we seconded is to strictly check the grain leaving the country and close the business road, we don't agree!" ”

Although some of them have not yet benefited from this, they are all a group and cannot tear each other down.

Li Er said with a smile: "There is no need to close the business road, after all, this matter has nothing to do with it." ”

Seeing this, the officials of the noble clan also knew that it would not work to close the trade route.

After all, too many people's interests are touched.

Although everyone has a way, there are some things that cannot be done with a way.

For example, paper, who in the Xungui family has no way?

But that thing is going on the volume, and the business road is closed, and you can still sell the paper all over the Tang Dynasty, whose face is this?

Therefore, it is better to have this way than not to have it......

However, the ban on grain leaving the country made the life of the Ming court very sad.

Everybody knows that.

The Ming Dynasty is now living on the grain of the Tang Dynasty, so that the development will not be able to stagnate, and the worst result may even develop into the Tuyuhun of the past, and live by plundering the surroundings.

This is also a test for the Ming court.

And at this moment, Li Er smiled: "It's best that Zhurong this time is a natural disaster, if I find out that it is a man-made disaster, I will definitely not be spared." ”

He also slowly came back to his senses, as if it was a conspiracy specifically against Li Chengqian.

In fact, he really didn't care about everyone targeting Li Chengqian, but if he used this kind of trick to kill 1,000 enemies and self-damage 800 against Li Chengqian, then he couldn't bear it.

That's food, the foundation of how many people's lives!

When everyone heard this, they were also stunned.

Don't it really be a man-made disaster, right?

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who lacks virtue and smokes, can't help but look at those people of the scholar clan, if you really do it, it will be too lacking in virtue.

And Wei Zheng even said: "If it is found that this is a man-made disaster, it should be punished!" ”

Wei Zheng rarely said such cruel words, but when it came to food, he couldn't bear it.

Not to mention the Shi clan, even if his son did this, he couldn't bear it!

If you really want to talk about it, Wei Zheng is actually a member of the Shi clan.

But that didn't stop him from calling for a strict investigation.

Millions of stone grains, think about his heart is dripping blood!

"If it's a man-made disaster, you should be punished!" As the initiator, Wang Shilang immediately said.

Cheeky, he's pretty thick-skinned!

And with the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the entire Chang'an City was busy.

This fire shook the entire court!
