Zong Zheng came to Xianyang Prison, and at this moment Li Zhao was drinking tea leisurely, which was brought by Ah Chao a few days ago, and he was really bored, so he could only relieve his boredom with tea.

Seeing Li Zhao's leisurely appearance, Zongzheng's anger did not come to a place.

But now I have a request for Li Zhao, it is not good to have a seizure, and he is still acting unprecedentedly, which is quite polite.

Li Zhao's attitude is neither salty nor light, and he has no good impression of this person, even if he is the acting minister appointed by the emperor.

"General Li, it's been good lately!"

Li Zhao politely bowed his hand.

"Naturally good! It's just boring, some people just don't want me to have a good time, do you say? Master Somasa. ”

Li Zhao deliberately glanced at Zong Zheng.

Zongzheng knew that Li Zhao meant something, but he was not angry, and said: "General Li, this Zongzheng blamed you wrongly before, please forgive me." ”

"Forgiveness is not necessary, I can't afford to be a sin person."

"No, this sect is announcing that you are not guilty now, it was all Jia Xiong's nonsense before, you can afford it."

"Really? Then why did you listen to Jia Xiong's nonsense, did he give you any benefits? Or did I offend you somewhere? ”

Li Zhao wondered why Zong Zheng was so hostile to him.

"This? General Li said with a smile, Jia Xiong has given me any benefits, this is Zhengzheng, but he is just confused for a while. ”

"Well, since you've said so, what can I say? It's just, what are you looking for me? ”

Li Zhao's movements are more casual.

Zong Zheng was slightly displeased, but still said: "Now that food prices are soaring and people's livelihood is damaged, you need to solve it, I hope you don't push it back." ”

When Li Zhao heard this, he lowered his face and said, "Why should I help you, I am Your Majesty's personal general, and unless Your Majesty decrees, I don't need to talk about it." ”

Refusing mercilessly, he will not pretend to be a color when dealing with such a person.

Zong Zheng's face darkened.

However, I also know a piece of information from it, that is, Li Zhao is very likely to be able to solve this matter, suppressed his anger, and said: "How do you make a move?" ”

Li Zhao glanced at him lightly and said, "Answer my question, if I'm satisfied, maybe I'll consider it." ”

Zong Zheng thought for a moment and nodded helplessly, "Ask!" ”

"Why are you targeting me?"

"Because you have cured Your Majesty and robbed me of my position, after all, the imperial doctor is under my control." Zongzheng did not hide it.

Li Zhao secretly said that this is the case, and it is all caused by being in the limelight.

"What are you going to do with me without going through Your Majesty's hands?"

This question is more tricky, and Zong Zheng asked solemnly: "Did you kill the student?" ”

"Nope! I can tell you the truth, but only if you believe me. ”

"If you tell the truth, this sect will naturally believe you."

"That's what happened."

"Say it!" Zong Zheng became serious, and there was no previous target.

"In fact, there are no students at all, the so-called students brought by Shusun Tong are villains, they want to attack and kill me, but they were taken down by our guards, and no one was killed."

"Bad guys?" Zong Zheng was puzzled, he completely listened to Jia Xiong's words at that time, and did not think about it, and Li Zhao did not cry out for injustice, so naturally he did not know the truth very well.

"Yes, those are all first-class killers, and if it weren't for the special weapons of my guards, I wouldn't be standing here today."

"You're saying that Uncle Sun Tong is going to attack and kill you?"

Li Zhao didn't nod, he must have been Jia Xiong going to attack and kill him, but there was no evidence, so he could only say: "He is an accomplice, and the main culprit is someone else, as for who it is, I already have a brow, but there is no evidence, it is difficult to say, but one day I will find out this person." ”

It's hard to do without evidence! Naturally, it's hard to say it, otherwise it's just a startling snake.

Zong Zheng frowned, and then asked, "Since you have taken down the gangsters, why don't you present them to defend yourself?" ”

"It's all my negligence, after the day of the dynasty, the person was robbed, presumably it was the main culprit who did it, so naturally it couldn't be submitted."

This was told to him later when Wuquan came to visit the prison.

"It's really hateful, attacking and killing the main general, it's a capital crime, if I knew who it was, I would give you justice." These words are Zongzheng's heart, although others are vain, but their hearts are still upright.

"But Shusun Tong, as an accomplice, also deserves to die, General Li, please rest assured, I will give you an explanation."

Li Zhao nodded, he could see that Zong Zheng was sincere.

He used to think that Zongzheng was a bastard, but today's conversation can be regarded as a little understanding, and he is not an unreasonable person.

"Thank you then!" Li Zhao thanked him heartily and bent down to give his hand.

Zong Zheng smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said, "What about the price of grain? ”

"Don't worry, it's in my heart."

Zong Zheng was very satisfied, and hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Then there is General Lao Li." ”

"This sect master is to arrest Shusun Tong and announce that you have been wronged."

Soon, Zong Zheng was gone, and an hour later, the jailer greeted Li Zhao out of Xianyang Prison with a grin.

Zhangtai Palace.

Feng Qujian met Yingzheng in person, and Yingzheng was completely good at the moment, but he did not publicize it to the outside world.

"Your Majesty, Zong Zheng went to see Li Zhao, and Li Zhao was also released from prison."

"What did they say?"

"Zong Zheng said that the reason why he targeted Li Zhaoquan was because Li Zhao had cured His Majesty well, and because he was jealous, he was malicious."

"But he is still reasonable, he believes Li Zhao's words, and is ready to arrest Uncle Sun Tong."

Ying Zheng smiled, "This old immortal still refuses to tell the truth at this moment, but he is not evil yet, he is just greedy for money." ”

"He mentioned Jia Xiong."

"Not a word!" Feng Quji paused and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Zongzheng is a little vain and loves money, he will not be able to commit treason. ”

Obviously, the two have already set their sights on Zongzheng.

Ying Zheng did not respond, changing the subject: "How much has food prices soared?" ”

"It's ten times over."

"Ten times? There has never been, if I don't let it come down again, I will be in danger! Ying Zheng frowned.

Feng Qujian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Li Zhao's method is very clever, he said that it will not only lower the price of grain, but also defeat the rich businessmen in one fell swoop." ”

"Wonderful? You've said this several times, but you know it. ”

"This?" Feng Qu was stunned, he heard Li Zhao talk about the Tao at that time, and thought it was very good, but he didn't know how to make a wonderful method, and he didn't seem to understand it.

But he remembered the phrase 'the extreme of things must be opposed', and he couldn't figure out what this said had to do with the price of food.

"That's it, let's see what Li Zhao does? If Li Zhao can't do it, he can only hate it, but I still hope that he will solve this matter by means, and I am looking forward to it. ”

Ying Zheng was not very worried, he believed Li Zhao.

A day later, news came out in the DPRK that Shusun Tong sent people to attack and kill the main general Li Zhao, the crime was unforgivable, and he was executed, Jia Xiong did not know right and wrong, deliberately slandered Li Zhao, and was fined for one year to set an example.

The courtiers who were treacherous were also punished to varying degrees.

Zong Zheng also apologized to Li Zhao at the court meeting, admitting that he was mediocre and did not know right and wrong.

This incident made many people smack their tongues, Zongzheng, who loves to be flattered so much, can do this, it's not easy!

When Li Zhao heard this, he just smiled slightly, and soon returned to Chang'an Township, where he was warmly greeted by the Chang'an villagers, and he was as happy as a New Year's holiday.

The first thing Li Zhao did when he came back was to ask what the yield of the good land was per mu, and the result he got was very surprising, the yield per mu was much to everyone's expectation, and it could reach twenty stones, which was a very remarkable number, even in the previous life, it was difficult to do so.

He had to sigh that the system is different.

But now it's not the time for him to dwell on the matter, but to be happy.

Yes, we should rejoice, the price of grain has reached a sky-high price at this moment, and it is time to sell rice.

All the fertile fields that His Majesty had given him had been planted, and the yield was astronomical.

The housekeeper has already reported the number, there are two million stones of rice, according to the previous life, it is hundreds of millions of catties, and now the price of grain has soared to a terrible number, how to sell all these rice, how much and half a tael.

He. It's hard to calculate.

There is also maize, the output is also expensive, although the price is not as good as the staple food, but it has also soared several times, and it is also a big income.

"Young master, should we sell the rice now?"

The butler asked, he couldn't wait, his eyes were all yellow, orange and orange gold at the moment.

"Of course, but a thousand stones first."

"A thousand stones?" The housekeeper was not happy, there were 2 million stones of rice at home, and only 1,000 stones were sold, when could they all be sold.

This is not the main thing, the main thing is that it would not be miserable if the price of food fell all at once.

"Zhao'er, no, you have to sell most of it." Li Ki-nong interjected, he also thought that a thousand stones was too little.

Li Zhao shook his head and did not explain.

In a luxurious manor, a middle-aged man with a big belly and rich clothes stood in a garden, in front of a small lake, and fish were sprang out of the water, making a plopping sound, which was very pleasant.

"Master, it's not good, the imperial court has sent grain for disaster relief, and many people have gone to line up to receive food." Butler Jiang Minglian hurriedly came to report.

"Huh!" Mu Tian seemed to have expected it, and said loudly, "What's the panic, isn't it disaster relief?" This is a matter of time, and the imperial court will not see Xianyang fall into chaos. ”

"But. . . Wouldn't we spend a lot of money in vain? ”

"How so? With so many people in Xianyang, how long can the imperial court provide disaster relief? I dare to guarantee that in less than January, the tax grain of the imperial court will be exhausted, and it is the spring ploughing, there is no supply, and Xianyang is not chaotic? ”

Mu Tian paced, with a smile on his face.

When Jiang Minglian heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Wonderful!" ”

"The chaos in the court is exactly what Xiang Gong thinks, and Xiang Gong will definitely appreciate me even more at that time."

"When his great plan is implemented, the court will definitely fall, Xiang Gong will be on the throne, I will be a hero, and I will be crowned an official and a lord, and I will not get rid of my business status and become a master?"

The more Mu Tian spoke, the more excited he became.

Jiang Minglian was overjoyed when he heard it, and his heart was happy.

If the lord is an official and a lord, he will naturally rise as a housekeeper, how beautiful his life is, he can imagine how pleasant it is for high-ranking officials and nobles to call him "master".

"The old slave congratulates the master in advance on his official title." Jiang Minglian flattered.

"Haha!" Mu Tian smiled even more, "Accept what you said, I will never treat you badly, master." ”

Jiang Minglian hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you, Master!" ”

"Get up! You've been with me for so many years, you don't have to be so polite. ”

Jiang Minglian got up, but the next moment he frowned, and said regretfully: "It's wonderful to be crowned an official and worship a knight, but our huge amount of money has been wasted." ”

"Definitely!" Mu Tian smiled and shook his head, "We'll earn more." ”

"How so?" Jiang Minglian's eyes lit up and asked with interest.

Mu Tian paced and walked around the small lake for half a circle before he said: "When the imperial court has no food and is completely in chaos, you say that if we throw the grain out again, will there be many people to grab it?" After all, no amount of money is as important as a small life. ”

Jiang Minglian's eyes brightened, and he said: "So, if we sell all the grain we have hoarded, won't we make ten times the profit?" ”

Mu Tian waved his hand, "Ten times? less, at least twenty times. ”

"Twenty times?" Jiang Minglian's pupils dilated, twenty times, and he couldn't believe how much it would be.

"My lord is really a business wizard! Old slave bows! ”

Another day, Jiang Minglian hurriedly came to report again.

"Master, it's not good."

"What's going on?" Every time he was shocked, Mu Tian asked reproachfully.

"There is a lot of rice in the market, and it is being sold at the current price."

"What? Isn't Xianyang without food? How can there be rice? ”

Yes, after this period of purchase, the grain reserves of Xianyang dignitaries have been purchased, and ordinary traders have no grain to buy, and there is no grain to sell in the market, and it is a little strange that a large amount of rice appears.

"Find out who did it?"

"I found out, it's Chang'an Township."

"Chang'an Township? No wonder, how many are there? ”

"A thousand stones!"

Hearing this number, Mu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, for the moment, a thousand stones is indeed a bit much, but for those who have a lot of hoarding, a thousand stones is just a drop in the bucket.

"Can anyone buy it?"

"Yes, it's a crazy robbery, but our people started quickly and have already bought most of them." The butler invited to show off in order to get the lord's boast.

Sure enough, Mu Tian praised him, "Very good, you did a good job." And patted him on the shoulder, "It's not in vain that I think so much of you." ”

The housekeeper was flattered.

Mu Tian continued: "If Chang'an Township sells grain again, buy it directly, and don't let anyone get involved, do you know?" ”

"Yes! The old slave knows how to do it. ”

……

In Chang'an Township, Li Jinong and the housekeeper smiled and held the yellow, orange and orange gold, and laughed proudly.

"This gold came really fast, it was only half an hour, and a thousand stones were sold out, it was still at such a high price, my Li family used to do business, I knew that money was easy to come by, but I didn't know that it was so easy."

Lee Ki-nong wept with joy and shed tears.

The housekeeper comforted: "Master don't be excited, we just sold a thousand stones, and there are many more?" ”

"Yes, yes, there are two million stones, all gold!"

"No, I have to sell ten thousand stones tomorrow."

remembered that his nephew only asked him to sell a thousand stones yesterday, and at this moment he regretted beating his chest.

Next.

Li Zhao still let them only sell a thousand stones, but let go of one condition, that is, the price can be increased to 12 times.

Li Jinong was helpless, but he could raise the price, and he was elated again.

Even if it is twelve, there will be many people fighting for it, because the food at this moment is more important than anything else.
