Night.

In the palace city, Jia Yun sat on the high hall and handled official business.

Wang Fei walked in from outside at this time.

He looked at Jia Yun, who was not angry and arrogant not far in front of him, and his face changed slightly, and his expression was humble and respectful, "Grass People Wang Fei pays a visit to Lord Yun."

Jia Yun listened to Wang Fei's words, and couldn't help but raise her head, looking down at Wang Fei who was standing below, hurriedly put down the brush in her hand, as well as the official document in her hand, a smile appeared on her face, and she walked down and said indifferently to Wang Fei: "Wang Fei, you are also the old man of the Xue family!"

After listening to Jia Yun's words, Wang Fei's heart was also relieved, knowing what Jia Yun's attitude was this time.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, the grass people joined the Xue family's shop more than ten years ago and managed the business here for the Xue family."

Seeing that Wang Fei was also an old man, Jia Yun nodded and asked, "Then let me ask you, can you manage the Xue family's store in the entire state capital?"

Wang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, this is a huge opportunity and creation!

He immediately assured Jia Yun: "As long as Lord Yun is willing, the little one is willing to take the lead for the adults and obey their words."

Jia Yun nodded and said again, "Okay, I want you to go down now and call the shopkeepers of the entire Xue family's shop, and I want them to do something for me."

After that, Wang Fei began to act under Jia Yun's instructions.

A civil official named Zhang He walked over from the side, looked at Jia Yun, and said puzzledly: "My lord, although the scale of this Xue family's shop is not small, but all the merchants in this city are united, once there are other shops selling rice at a low price, then they will directly take action and snap it up. At that time, even if the Xue family's shop has food, I'm afraid it will only be a drop in the bucket, and it will be useless."

Jia Yun shook his head and said, "Zhang He, you don't know anything, I don't plan to lower the price of grain and sell grain at a low price, but to do the opposite, raise the price of grain, and let these people suffer the consequences!"

After listening to Jia Yun's words, Zhang He didn't understand it even more.

Zhang He looked at Jia Yun's demeanor, not like such a stupid character, and also cautiously asked, "What is the meaning of this move?"

Jia Yun was silent.

After a long time, Jia Yun said, "If I had told you the reason in advance, this matter would not have been done. You just have to do what I tell you to do, do what I have planned, and don't ask about anything else."

Seeing that Jia Yun didn't let himself and others ask deeply, and was unwilling to explain the reason, these people had no choice but to leave with a boring one.

........

Following.

The same place, but instead of the hours of daylight. net

Jia Yun once again entertained the people of the Xue family, looked at the shopkeepers below, and said, "From today onwards, I want you to open a warehouse to release grain, sell the grain in the treasury to the outside world, and at the same time, raise the price of grain per stone, from the previous selling price of about three taels of silver per stone of grain to the price of ten taels of silver per stone of grain."

"What? My lord, didn't you ask us to come and sell the grain at a lower price? Why do you want us to raise the price of grain to ten taels per stone?" When everyone heard the words, they were all talking, like the monk who was the second in the country, and he was confused.

"Yes! My lord, this time my lord was ordered by the emperor to become this minister, and his first task is to provide disaster relief and sell grain at a low price. We really don't get it."

"My lord, this is not appropriate! The shops in the city have formed an alliance, and we have made an agreement that if anyone dares to open a warehouse and sell the daily rations, they will attack them and buy up all the grain in our hands, and then we will have that large amount of silver in our hands, and I am afraid that we will not be able to buy a grain of grain."

"Do you think about it more? The impact of this move is very great, and if it is not done properly, I am afraid that the food in our hands will also be in our hands

It's going to be sold out by them."

「.........」

After listening to everyone's persuasion, Jia Yun sneered and said, "I just want these people to pay a higher price to snap up the grain released by our Xue family's shop. Didn't they rely on the strategy of hoarding and selling grain to make a lot of national hardship? Now I'm going to make them spit out all the money they have. This shopping mall is like a battlefield, although there is no sword and sword, but it still needs to be taken seriously. Do as I say, and if anyone does not do a good job, then blame me for the butcher's knife in my hand."

Seeing that Jia Yun is king was eating scales, he was determined to sell the grain in the Xue family's shop at a price of ten taels of silver, raising it several times higher, and for a while, everyone also looked at each other, and nodded helplessly and obeyed.

Because, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Jia Yun is the actual helmsman of the Xue family's business, and he is also the minister sent by the imperial court, and no one dares to offend the military power in his hands, and he can't afford to offend, whether it is because of the shopkeeper's order or his own future, at this moment, with Jia Yun, it is undoubtedly looking for death.

Not necessarily, even those black-hearted businessmen in the city, seeing these government lords in the yamen, batch after batch of pigs, were beheaded by Jia Yun's withdrawal from chopping melons and vegetables, they didn't dare to continue to raise prices, so that food prices continued to soar?

After all, they were also scared in their hearts, afraid that Jia Yun would not follow the rules, and they would also be arrested and exterminated.

Once they die, even if they accumulate countless wealth in the house, it is just an empty sigh, useless.

Therefore, under the threat of death, these people have also become much more honest.

However, after realizing that Jia Yun's methods were ruthless and did not pay attention to the rules, many people also began to wait and see, ready to see Jia Yun's jokes.

The amount of food distributed by the imperial court seems to be very large, but in fact, it is extremely difficult to feed so many people below.

Besides, this is a year of calamity, and even if you have money in your hand and want to buy food, you are afraid that there is nowhere to buy it.

They have food in their hands, but these people do not intend to sell it to the outside world, but they plan to rely on this disaster to make a windfall, a wave of fat, and make a lot of money.

Even, these people privately formed gangs and formed an alliance of interests to jointly defend the price of grain in the state capital and maintain the situation of harvesting ordinary people at high prices.

Since the Xue family began to sell grain for ten taels of silver, it has also caused an uproar in the city for a while, and countless people are cursing that the Xue family's shopkeeper is not a thing.
