Niu Xianke is just a very ordinary one among the vast and brilliant ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Although this person is recorded in both the New Tang Dynasty Book and the Old Tang Dynasty, there are even records of him in Sima Zhitongjian, where Sima is a lighter soul.

But that's about it.

After all, which of the starry ministers of the Tang Dynasty has not been recorded?

The cow cyclamen came from a humble background. Don't get me wrong, the so-called cold door is the ancestor who has been wide and has fallen down here, so it is called the cold door.

For example, Niu Xianke's father did the history of Jingzhou Thorn, which is a big party.

As for ordinary people in the real sense, those who have land and houses are just Shu people, that is, the Shu people who are commonly known as Shu people.

In other words, even if the high-level people are down, unlucky, and demoted, they are beyond the reach of most ordinary people.

Of course, the Shu people are often called the common people.

If there is no house or land in the family, then it is called a homeless, that is, a homeless.

Those who have no house, no land, and no work to do, that is, those who are unemployed are called hooligans.

Taken together, there are no houses, no land, and no jobs here in Datang. People.

Niu Xianke is from a poor family, which is really much higher than the starting point of the three no-personnel.

At the very least, he can be a magistrate in the county, and such seemingly trivial local officials are the vast majority of the common people. Out of reach of the scoundrels.

has the connections left by his father, who once made a history of assassination, so that he can go all the way from Xu to the county official, and then to the Longyou Yingtian envoy, the Sima of Taozhou, and the judge of Hexi Jiedu, and get the appreciation of the Hexi Jiedu envoy.

After the boss entered the court as the prime minister, the boss recommended him to become the new envoy of the Hexi Festival, and then to the current prime minister.

On the whole, this is not a change of life for the common people, but a re-emergence of the cold family.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

is also in the study, the difference is that Niu Xianke's ability to be moody is invisible, which is obviously inferior to Li Linfu.

His expression was slightly anxious and said, "Your Majesty. What's going on here? ”

Although Niu Xianke is submissive and focuses on Li Linfu in everything, it does not mean that he is really a waste.

Historically, the peace method to alleviate the food shortage in Chang'an City was proposed and completed by Niu Xianke.

If he can do this in this environment, who dares to say that he is incapable?

Since he has the ability, he can naturally see that Li Sanlang is setting up obstacles for the prince.

What was going on between the emperor and the crown prince, he didn't know and didn't want to know.

But because of this, the peace law was delayed or even failed, which led to the human tragedy of starving to death, which he could not accept under any circumstances.

Li Yunze very simply skipped this topic and asked directly, "Niu Gong, if it is up to you to promote and fight the law, how should you act?" ”

The cow cyclamen, who had learned a lot, did not hide it, and said directly: "I think I have discussed it with the big family." ”

He also explained to Li Yunze in detail: "The minister has been a minister, and he knows what kind of means those people use. They wanted to increase the price, so they could, and the minister cut them off. ”

Li Yunze nodded, "Start with the grain store?" ”

"That's right."

Niu Cyclamen stroked his palms and smiled, "These grain stores are naturally dirty things, as long as you take care of it, you can naturally make the owner behind it let go of it." As long as there is one mind, it is not difficult to move this matter forward. ”

It's like the cow cyclamen said, he has been a Xu official and knows how to deal with these black-hearted people.

And as the prime minister, he is promoting, and Li Sanlang secretly acquiesces in support, and at the same time, the purchase at a higher price can be regarded as an explanation to the big households, so it can naturally be promoted.

But now it's not going to work, the emperor took the initiative to step up, and many things changed.

Li Yunze didn't talk nonsense, and said very simply, "I don't know if Niu Gong is willing to help orphans?" ”

The Niu cyclamen who asked this question was a little embarrassed, which was tantamount to directly offending the emperor.

For the cow cyclamen, who has always been cautious, he is unwilling to offend the emperor from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the hesitant Niu Xianke, Li Yunze stood up indifferently, "It turns out that the people of Guanzhong are not so important in the eyes of Niu Gong, since this is the case, then Na Gu will leave." ”

This big hat is thrown down, and the cow cyclamen can't carry it.

He smiled helplessly, stepped forward and grabbed Li Yunze's clothes, "Prince, why bother." Alas, the old man is willing to do his part for the people of Guanzhong. ”

When he said this, Niu Xianke's complexion was obviously much older.

"That being the case, the lonely generation of Guanzhong and the people of Jianghuai are grateful to Niu Gong."

"Huh?" Niu cyclamen was puzzled: "What does this have to do with the people of Jianghuai?" ”

Li Yunze smiled slightly, "Gu now needs Niu Gong's help to turn the goods that promote the peace law into rice and grain that Jianghuai should collect." ”

Before the implementation of the Harmony Law, the rice and grain of Jianghuai were transported to Luoyang by waterway, and then transported to Chang'an City.

The consumption along the way is several times that of the harmony method.

The first step in Li Yunze's plan was to use the help of the two prime ministers to convert the goods that had been implemented in the Guanzhong region into rice and grain that should be paid in the Jianghuai region.

The only reason for this is that the local grain price is extremely high, and the rice is generally more than 20 wen.

The difference between what is feasible and what is not feasible is whether the prime minister in charge of the government supports it.

Supporting the crown prince to do this kind of thing when Li Sanlang has already begun to blow the wind will naturally hate the emperor.

This is the reason why Li Linfu wants Niu Cyclamen to come forward.

The cow cyclamen hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

In the following days, Li Yunze took Li Bai Dufu and others to tour the mountains and rivers, and also got acquainted with Yan Zhenqing, Wu Daozi and others to have fun together, as if they had forgotten about the law and the law.

Li Sanlang, who got the notification, didn't care about this, and when he couldn't do it after the autumn harvest, he naturally had the means to teach this disobedient prince a lesson.

What he didn't know was that Cen participated in Gao Shi and the others, and he had already gone to Jianghuai with the documents and manpower, along with the people from the household department.

Things went very smoothly, the price of grain on the Jianghuai side was as high as 23 yuan for doumi, and Li Yunze sold it for 20 yuan for doumi, and soon recovered several times the money.

Niu Xianke, who learned the news, couldn't help but come to the East Palace to find Li Yunze in person.

"Your Highness." The worried Niu Cyclamen said, "All the grain handed over in the Jianghuai land has been sold, and if the peace law in Guanzhong is not completed, it will be a big deal." ”

The grain that should have been transported to Chang'an City has become a property, and if these goods can't buy enough food, then the crown prince's position is estimated to be unkept.

"Niu is worried."

Li Yunze smiled and beckoned Niu Xianke to sit down and drink tea, "Now that the goods are already on the way back, so many goods, can't you buy five million pieces of rice and grain?" ”

Niu Xianke thought about it carefully, and the truth of the matter is that if the price is several times higher, you can buy as much grain as you want.

After all, Guanzhong is not actually short of grain, but it just lacks the strength of the imperial court to buy grain.

Niu Xianke, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Yunze with complicated eyes, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this year may be able to pass like this, but if Your Majesty still puts you in charge of this matter next year, what should you do?" This kind of speculation can be said to be unforbidden for the first time, but

Next year"

What he wanted to say was that the emperor would never give him another chance to open this opening next year.

"Next year?"

Li Yunze had a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, "Where is there any next year, before the autumn harvest next year, it will be time for someone else to sit on the dragon chair." ’

"Who knows what will happen in the future, let's talk about next year's affairs next year."

Whether it is Li Linfu or Niu Xianke, what they think in their hearts is that after Li Yunze brings back the goods, he will secretly discuss with the big households, and then buy enough grain at a high price, and this time the matter will end like this.

Although Li Sanlang stipulates that he can only buy grain at a price not higher than 20% of the market price, people can only make transactions in secret, and naturally they will not exceed it on the surface.

It's a pity that they all thought wrong, and Li Yunze didn't plan to stop at all.

Worked hard to make so much money, but in the end it was filled in to these big accounts?

He's crazy.

If there is no space-time gate as a backing, Li Yunze will inevitably choose to stop here, and even expand his strength by privately negotiating with big households to recruit manpower.

But he has hole cards, where does he care about these, and he wants to pit these big households very simply. (Mainly for the sake of reading, the bridge of compromise with profiteers is naturally not as enjoyable as fighting profiteers.) ）

Gao Shi and the others arrived in the eastern capital with their goods, and they did not continue to Guanzhong, but directly began to buy grain in the local area.

In the eastern capital, like Guanzhong, the price of grain for political purposes was suppressed at the price of five cents of rice.

In fact, you can't buy grain at this price, so you have to go to the black market to buy high-priced grain.

Of course, Li Yunze would not let people buy high-priced grain on the black market, he first obtained the documents to buy old grain from Zhucang in the Eastern Capital through Li Linfu and Niu Xianke, and then bought grain from the people near the Eastern Capital.

There is actually a lot of grain in Datang, and a large number of granaries have been built near the eastern capital.

Grain is not a stone and can be stored for many years.

After a certain period of time, the grain will gradually turn into old grain, and then even rotten grain.

Therefore, it is very normal for the warehouse to change the grain on a regular basis.

Neither Li Linfu nor Niu Xianke thought of Li Yunze's true plan, they just thought that he wanted to buy a batch of grain and bring it back as the bottom of the box.

Therefore, not only did he generously give the papers, but he even gave the help of mobilizing the conscription along the way for transportation.

It wasn't until the large-scale grain began to be shipped that the two people who learned the news were completely dumbfounded.

The rice grain that Li Yunze transported back from the Eastern Capital was not only in quantity beyond imagination, but also not stale in quality.

This is as simple as taking the prime minister's paperwork and gold and going directly to the supervisor who is in charge of the granary.

If someone refuses to accept the gold, write down his name and reuse it later, and then go to another storehouse.

Anyway, there are many granaries around Luoyang City.

When buying grain in Luoyang, it was bought in strict accordance with the imperial court regulations for five cents of rice, and even after receiving the gold, a caring granary supervisor took the initiative to say that the old grain should not be sold so expensive, and it should be cheaper.

Gao Shi and the others politely rejected the kindness of these supervisors, and then recorded their names in a small notebook, which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would use in the future.

The price of grain from large households will definitely rise, but who cares how much the grain of the imperial court can sell?

Just tossing back and forth through the documents of the prime ministers, the food that Li Yunze has at this time, not to mention to meet the needs of this year, is enough to meet the needs of the next few years.

It's just that this is still using information to pit the imperial court, and Li Yunze disdains it.

After bringing back the grain and goods, he was ready to pit the big families in Guanzhong.
