Chapter 616: Seeing His Building Collapse
Yu Shuheng was already sweating profusely at this time, and Zhao Qian next to him no longer had the demeanor of a celebrity in the past.
After several days of vigorously eating food, they had run out of money, even the borrowed money.
But just now, when the family came back, there was another continuous grain cart outside the city, no less than yesterday's.
The other representatives of the Guan Long family next to him also had solemn faces.
Chen Rong was already starting to be afraid, and he said loudly: "The imperial court has released millions of stone grain in the past few days, where did they get the grain?" Today, there are at least 200,000 stones, a few brothers, who can borrow money, and can't let so much grain be thrown! ”
"Where do we go to borrow money? What about the other grain merchants? Let them also show up and buy it! ”
He Lanrui next to him sneered and said, "Brothers, let me ask, do you believe that there are still millions of stone grain in the imperial court?" ”
"We have a total of 1.3 million stones in our hands, and other grain merchants also have 600,000 stones in their hands, no matter how much grain there is in the imperial court, how much can we have?"
"The imperial court said that he had two million stone of grain, did he think there was a Luokou warehouse here?"
"Which prime minister is from the Wang family? Jiangnan also has no millions of stones of idle grain to transport! ”
"That prime minister transports grain in a convoy every morning, isn't it just for people to see, see so much grain, you can buy it!"
"But that just shows that they don't have that much food in their hands."
"Who knew that the grain cart was filled with grain and straw?"
"Helan family, we also know that this is the prime minister's scheme, but Brother Chen also said just now, there is no money! I don't have any money anymore! ”
He Lanrui shook his head and said: "We have no money, but we can use the manor to mortgage, Li Shentong still has money, borrow money from him!" ”
"Then let's take another gamble!"
"It's come to this point, either you die or I die, you can only gamble!"
Everyone said that in fact, they had no way out, and once the price of food fell, their wealth would collapse in an instant.
So everyone took out the manor to mortgage and borrow money, and then went to eat the grain vigorously.
It's June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Wang Xuanjing looked at the sky, and then asked with a smile, "How much money did they borrow?" ”
"One million and three hundred thousand!" Wang Xuanhe said with a smile, you must know that mortgage borrowing money is not as much as you say you can borrow, it needs to be depreciated. Seventy percent of the discount is given.
"Tell the brothers outside the city to be careful of those people and dogs jumping off the wall!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty has already sent the Xuanjia Army!" Wang Xuanhe said with a smile.
"Now that everything is ready, let's start the show!" Wang Xuanjing flicked his clothes, and then said: "Put another 500,000 stones today, see if they eat fast, or if we put them fast!" ”
"If you can't eat it, then you can sell it completely!"
Li Shentong looked at the small mountain of IOUs in front of him, and only felt cold, now he has more than two million pieces of wealth in his hands, all of which are the assets of the Guanlong nobles, grain merchants from all over the country, and the clansmen.
There are too many assets in this area, and more than eighty percent of the money of the Guanlong nobles and the gate valve families from all over the country is here.
He didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that something might happen to them.
Outside the Mingde Gate, as soon as the sky was bright, a team of grain trucks entered the city like a long snake. There is also a large army on guard around. Under the protection of the army, grain trucks headed for the grain depots in all directions of the city.
Today's grain is like a flood, pouring down, from the inner city of Chang'an, to the outer city, and then to the city, and Guanzhong spread rapidly.
Wang Xuanjing has now used more than three million stones of grain, and three million stones is 360 million catties of grain.
Wang Xuanjing came to the palace wall and looked at the mountains of grain in the east and west cities in the city: "This should be over!" ”
"Fighting rice for a thousand dollars? Is your rice made of gold or silver? ”
"All grain stations, fifty wen for rice, are open for sale!"
"Aren't they going to raise the price? Let them carry it! ”
Wang Xuanhe said with a smile: "They have no money in their hands, and they can't maintain the high price of grain!" ”
"Prime Minister, these are the IOUs they have mortgaged here in this king!" Li Shentong next to him said with some trembling.
"They even mortgaged their family's estate, and at the current price of grain, they can't afford to pay it back!"
These nobles, heroes, and family lords used to lend money to the people when they were not less persecuted, but now they have become debts, and they still owe debts to the court, if they dare not pay it back, then don't blame the court for ordering the house to be raided!
"You can't live if you do your own evil!" Wang Xuanjing said coldly.
The only chance for these noble and wealthy families is to burn the grain, but Wang Xuanjing has long been ready, and a large number of troops have entered the city to maintain order, and they are not given a chance at all.
"It's a fight!" Wang Xuanjing took the clairvoyant mirror and looked happily in the distance, the representatives of the grain merchants, the noble families, and the nobles of Guanlong were arguing hoarsely.
"Listen to me, everybody!" Helan Rui kept shouting: "Listen to me quietly!" ”
"The imperial court has forty wen and a bucket of grain, this is a good year without this price, he loses money, he can put grain for a few days, this day of drought, it is far from over, in a few days, won't the price of this grain go up?"
"Fuck you!" A man next to him scolded: "In a few more days? All the grain in the eastern capital has been shipped, and it makes a fart of money! ”
"Don't listen to their nonsense, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have an order, the price of grain today is forty Wen, and tomorrow it will be forty Wen, and in the next year, the price of grain in Chang'an will be 400,000 one dou! The imperial court has prepared three million stone grains, enough to eat in Guanzhong for a year! ”
"Our food is in our hands!"
A man next to him finished shouting, and immediately hid in the crowd and disappeared.
"Helan Rui, at the beginning, you said that you would let us all borrow money, mortgage the manor to borrow money, and said that the price of grain will rise, and now that the grain is in deficit, you will pay us back!"
"Yes, pay back!"
He Lanrui said angrily: "I said that I would be responsible for my own profits and losses, but Lao Tzu asked you to participate?" You yourself see the money open, go to borrow, what is the matter with Lao Tzu? ”
"Now it's my head, no way!"
He Lanrui's words angered these people at once, and I don't know who shouted to hit him, countless people were suddenly emotional and fought directly.
Wang Xuanjing didn't let things continue to develop, there were already soldiers who went to maintain order, but even if they were saved, what could they do.
In the next few days, people continued to see corpses floating on the Wei River.
In many houses in the city, there are hanging corpses hanging one after another.
