As far as Li Chengqian is concerned, what he is most afraid of is that everyone will begin to relax.

This is too dangerous for the Ming court.

Therefore, he single-handedly planned this time, just so that the Shi clan could ban the export of grain.

Very good, those people of the Shi clan are really cooperative.

At this moment, the person sent back by Wang Dequan finally arrived.

He was galloping fast on horseback, changing horses but not people along the way, so he hurried back to Sun Moon Mountain.

At that time, compared with the Tang Dynasty court, he was still a little slower, which also showed that the current Ming court still has many shortcomings.

"Your Highness, the messenger of the king's treasurer has arrived, and he is outside the big tent." At this moment, Liu San came in and said.

Li Chengqian immediately nodded and asked him to bring people in.

But this man was brought in.

The messenger was about to get up and give a salute, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, hand over the letter from the king's shopkeeper to me, and you go down first to have a good rest." ”

Initial domain name: m.

It can be seen that this guy must have rushed back from Chang'an non-stop.

The messenger took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Liu San, and watched Liu San hand over the letter to Li Chengqian, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send him to the nest doctor to recuperate." Li Chengqian said.

As he spoke, Li Chengqian opened Wang Dequan's letter.

To be honest, you don't have to look at him to guess the general content.

It's just that what he never expected was that those scholars actually burned millions of stone grains in one go!

This is something he didn't expect.

"Your Highness, what did the king's shopkeeper say in his letter?" Li Qinjian asked.

In fact, everyone has guessed something, which is nothing more than related to Datang's ban on grain leaving the country this time, otherwise Wang Dequan would not have sent the letter back in such a hurry.

Li Chengqian threw the letter over and said, "Read it for yourself." ”

After he saw the letter, he had already concluded that the destruction of millions of stones of grain was the ghost of the Shi clan.

His purpose was to fight back against him, but he didn't expect that this time the Shi clan would be willing to pay the capital.

"This ...... Datang's worries don't seem to be unreasonable. After reading the letter, Li Qinjian said.

The rest of them nodded as well.

Li Chengqian smiled: "Are you sure you understand?" ”

"Huh?" Li Qinjian was stunned for a moment, then took the letter back and read it again, "There is no negligence, natural disasters, Datang's move is from Datang's position, no problem." ”

Shaking his head, Li Chengqian said: "It's a shame that you've been fighting with the Shi clan for so many years, so you don't see that this fire is a little strange?"

Within a few days, grain from all over the country entered Beijing, and as a result, a fire broke out that night? Is it such a coincidence? ”

Everyone is a little confused, what can be wrong with the fire?

"Your Highness means, doesn't it mean that the purpose of this fire is to prohibit grain from leaving the country?" Li Qinjian reacted and said.

Puxi said in disbelief: "No, that's a million stone grain, if you really want to eat, it's enough for my Ming court to eat for more than a year, save a little, two years is not a problem...... With this million stone grain, my Ming royal court will not have to worry about food for at least two years.

Instead of burning it down and banning the grain from leaving the country, it is better to sell us directly, after surviving these two years, we may not need Datang's grain.

In the past, I only heard that Tubo would practice grain so badly, when did Datang start to practice grain so badly? ”

He couldn't believe it, it was food, and a fire would burn it, how lacking is this? It's all about fighting with those who lack hearts in Tibet.

"Is it because of the paper?" Wang Xuance, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "So the Shi clan is warning us? ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Yue and these Han people instantly understood what was going on.

Immediately pounded the table and said, "These damn warriors are really ruthless!" This is grain, millions of stone grain, it is burned when it is said to be burned, this is the harvest of how many people have worked hard for a year! ”

Since he took office in Deyang Ling, he also has a look of worrying about the country and the people, and he is angry when he hears it.

The rest of the people gradually came back to their senses.

They still have some understanding of the scholars of the Tang Dynasty.

Before, it was those guys who were not allowed to open the field, and now, the field is still a nominal place.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "People are telling us that they have food, but they just burn it, and they don't sell us!" ”

For him, whether this fire was man-made or accidental, anyway, he just put the basin on the head of the scholars, as for the evidence, what evidence does he need?

He is not an official of Datang, why do you need evidence? As long as he can justify himself.

At this moment, everyone was instantly angry.

And this is also Li Chengqian's purpose, if you have nothing to do, it is good to set up an enemy for you.

Hatred can sometimes get carried away, but when it is used well, it is also a kind of motivation.

"Then we can't just watch, since they've all made a move, we have to react." Xiao Yue said.

Young people are the most impulsive.

Li Chengqian said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, now that we have figured out what is going on, the most important problem now is to solve our food problem.

Now, the best way to fight back is to show them that we are still alive and well without their food. ”

Once the enemy is established, the position is correct, and the goal is found, then the next step is to solve the problem.

This is also the link that Li Chengqian cares about the most.

"Pu Shangshu, how much grain is stored in the household department now." Li Chengqian asked.

Pu Xiruo said: "Now there are still 150,000 stones of grain stored in the household, and there are still 30,000 stones of surplus grain in the Changming grain store. ”

"What about the rest of the grain shops?" Li Chengqian asked, "Since their grain has come in, it is from my Ming Dynasty, and this must also be counted." ”

"On this side of Sun Moon Mountain, all the grain shops add up, there should be about 50,000 stone of grain." Li Qinjian said that he should be clearer about this.

Xiao Yue also said: "There are also 20,000 stone of grain in Deyang City. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "If you calculate it this way, we still have 250,000 stone of grain, which can support it for a while." ”

"Your Highness, you forgot, the wedding team is coming back soon, and there are still 130,000 stone of grain in the dowry." Gao Chunxing said shyly, "Although it is said that Datang has banned the export of grain, he can't stop this dowry of relatives, right?" ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately slapped the table: "He dares!" If even the food for this dowry is forbidden to this king, then they will go back wherever their family sending party came from! ”

He really did it, and everyone laughed when they heard it.

If you calculate it this way, they still have nearly 400,000 stone of grain, which seems to be barely able to support it for a while.

"Then next, is it necessary to stop the trade of the household department against Datang?" "Since they've banned food from leaving the country, are we going to ban paper from leaving the country?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled: "If you really want to do this, then you are in the hands of those scholars, they just want us to do this!" ”

"So what do we do?" Pu Xiru asked, although he is the head of the household, but he really has no achievements in business.

"Who has a grudge against money?" Li Chengqian said, "Sell, keep selling, the more they sell, the more headaches they have." ”

Wang Xuance nodded: "That's right, when Wechen used to study, it was really hard to find paper, if there was such cheap paper at the beginning, why would Wechen ......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, he succumbed to the Yang family for his studies, but it was precisely because of his succumbing to the Yang family that he had today's status.

Xiao Yue said: "Yes, let's not bird them, what is it, I don't believe it, I can't buy food with money." Although Datang is rich, but so many countries in the world, is it possible that they all survive on Datang grain? ”

"Not to mention, earning their money and buying food from other places, it is estimated that those old men will be angry to death." Gao Chunxing also said with a smile.

Qi Qi He Li smiled even more: "It's a big deal, the last general will go out with the army to rob it, and now the Ming Dynasty has 30,000 people in control of the strings, and when the Ming Dynasty is in danger, temporary recruitment, can also make up an army of nearly 100,000, and the great general will take the army to eat the enemy." ”

"Recently, there have been a lot of merchants from Tubo and the Western Regions in Riyue Mountain, and they are also quite interested in some things in my Ming Dynasty. Li Qinjian also said.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the war suddenly relaxed again.

Pu Xiru and Ihara Xi have the same feeling as when Sun Moon Mountain was poor and white.

It's subtle, but it's very comfortable.

Abandoned the retreat, it seems that it is just like that.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

That's what he wants to see.

"In that case, everybody's busy." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Can a living person suffocate urine to death?" It's really a desperate time, and this king will take hundreds of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty with him according to what General Qibi said, and rob whoever he sees is not pleasing to the eye, and there is still a way to live.

Hundreds of thousands of starving ghosts, no matter who sees it, it is estimated that they will panic! ”

When the crowd heard this, they laughed.

Of course, they all knew that Li Chengqian would not do this.

After following Li Chengqian for so long, they still know who Li Chengqian is.

No matter what kind of trouble he encountered, he seemed to have a solution.

This is the confidence that Li Chengqian brought to them.

Before, everyone just felt that now that they had Datang as their backing, they had relaxed for the time being.

Now, Datang's backing is unreliable, although there is some regret, but there is no despair.

What is this? Almost all of the people present followed Li Chengqian step by step from scratch to today, in Li Chengqian's words, what kind of predicament have we never encountered?

What are you afraid of what he will do?

After everyone dispersed, Li Chengqian smiled.

It's good, this kind of atmosphere is the atmosphere that really achieves Wang Tu's hegemony.

As for what a way out, fuck off.

What is the way out? Those who have a way out are reluctant to work hard.

In the afternoon, Liu San came again.

"Your Highness, Murong Xiaojun's envoy is here, along with ninety-nine personal soldiers."

Hearing his words, Li Chengqian smiled.

The matter that I discussed with Li Qinjian and others before was completed.

"Let Wang Xuance deal with this matter, don't let this king deal with any bullshit." Li Chengqian waved his hand and sent it away.

When Liu San heard this, he immediately left again.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is still not on the right track in the final analysis, otherwise there is really no need to let Li Chengqian do everything himself.

Although the officials arranged some of them, everyone was a big girl on the sedan chair after all, and the first time they were still inexperienced.

In the outer city of Sun Moon Mountain, the shopkeepers of various families gathered in Changming Restaurant to drink.

The mood of the crowd was not high.

Chang'an's ban on grain leaving the country has had a great impact on them.

"Tell me, how to fix it?" The eldest grandson asked.

Cheng Zhenghao shook his head and said, "How can it be rectified?" The imperial court does not allow grain to leave the country, what can we do? ”

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads again.

"The point is, without food, can the things of Changming Commercial Bank still be sold?" Someone said that he was worried about his heart.

Before, Changming Commercial Bank and their transactions were settled directly with grain, but now that there is no food, they don't know what to do.

Someone asked, "Have you ever asked?" ”

"Yes." Humanitarian, "The guys in the trading house said that if there is food, it will be shipped, and if there is no food, it will be delivered when the food arrives." Hey, what is this court thinking, is there a difference between the Ming court and the Tang Dynasty? ”

Those who have this kind of idea are not only those officials of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, many people have this kind of thought.

"Be careful!" However, as soon as he said this, someone immediately said, "The imperial court has its own concerns, and arguing about the government is not what we should or can do." ”

"But how much you have to lose this day, do you know?" The man immediately dissatisfied.

The key is that they are all the treasurers of their respective families, and it is their duty to make money for the family.

In another box, Huang Song, a businessman from the Jingyang system, also gathered together.

They are no better than those big families, after the family's grain is sold, they have recently purchased grain from Datang and transported it, and this time the grain is not allowed to leave the country, which makes them also embarrassed.

"In this way, it is difficult to do business." Someone said.

"Why don't we go back too, as soon as the Tang Dynasty bans food, the Ming Dynasty is estimated to be in chaos."

Huang Song didn't see it that way, and shook his head: "I've been calculating, just after we came, at least 300,000 stone of grain entered the Sun Moon Mountain, that is to say, even if the Tang Dynasty banned the grain from leaving the country, in a short period of time, there will still be no food crisis in the Ming Dynasty." ”

"And what do you mean?"

Huang Song smiled: "Don't you think this time is an opportunity for us? ”

"Opportunity? What chances? The businessman surnamed Yang said that he was the guy who left Li Chengqian's house in Jingyang and was about to go to Cui's house to denounce.

"I have an idea, I don't know if you dare, if you do it this time, not only can you make money, but there may also be some other benefits." Huang Song said.

Someone said impatiently: "Just say what you think." ”

"I want to take all my belongings and go buy food!" Huang Song said, "Moreover, I heard that the money bank in Sun Moon Mountain has a lending business, and I am also going to try it and raise the most money to buy grain." ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt that this guy was crazy, and the businessman surnamed Yang stood up directly: "You want to secretly transport grain back from Datang?" If you are caught, it will be a felony of raiding your family and exterminating your family! ”

"Who said I went to Datang to buy food?" Huang Song said angrily, "I plan to go to Tuyuhun, or Tubo, or the Western Turks, of course, it is best to Tuyuhun." ”

"Tuguhun has grain to sell you?" Someone shook his head, "What do you think?" The Ming court is short of food, that is because of the snow disaster in the previous years, and there is food in Tuyuhun? ”

Huang Song said: "Are you mistaken, Tugu has no food for those poor people, those high-ranking officials and nobles, when did you see that they had no food?"

You don't know what Jingyang was like a few years ago? Are you hungry, or are you unable to open the pot at home one day?

We are a businessman, and this is still the case, don't those dignitaries who Tuguhun have some grain at home?

What do you want?

No matter what kind of disaster it is, it will always be the common people who suffer! When did the dignitaries and nobles suffer?

Moreover, when was it not the rich people of the high-ranking officials and nobles who came out to open a porridge shed to give porridge? ”

It's realistic, but it's true.

It seems to have been this way for thousands of years.

In addition to changing the dynasty or being targeted by the emperor, those high-ranking officials and nobles have really never suffered disasters.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

It's like a road.

"I've thought about it." Huang Song said, "If we can help the Ming Dynasty solve the food crisis this time, then we will definitely have a lot of convenience in doing business in the Ming Dynasty in the future."

Think about Li Qinjian, think about Wang Dequan and them, what is the difference between them and us in the past?

This is an opportunity, even if it is not enough for us to be like them, but it will definitely allow us to gain a complete foothold in this Ming Dynasty. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was moved.

As Huang Song said, this is indeed an opportunity.

"Then why don't we go find Li Qinjian?" Someone said.

Merchants, they're all human spirits!

He didn't mean that he wanted to seek any convenience from Li Qinjian, but that he wanted to spread their behavior to Li Chengqian's ears through Li Qinjian.

Do good deeds without leaving a name, so what's the picture?

Isn't it just to make you think of me?

"Let's talk about it first, although this is an opportunity, but the risk is not small, you first think about who is ready to do it with me." Huang Song said, "Don't force it, if you are willing to do it, you will stay, and if you are not willing to do it, after drinking this glass of wine, we will have a good sentence." ”

After speaking, Huang Song raised the wine glass.

The rest of the people also immediately got up and drank it all.

It's good, this time, no one flinched.

The main thing is Li Qinjian, whose almost role model-like existence stands there, which makes them see a glimmer of hope.

If they can cross that level, even if they are desperate, they want to try!

This is a great thing for future generations!

"Since everyone has decided, let's go and raise money first, I'll go and invite Li Shilang now, at night, it's still this place, drink hard!" Huang Song said when he saw this.
