Higashino Xuanji's expression changed, and he immediately ran to find his beloved daughter Higashino Luoyue, and met the guard's emergency report.

"Master, Miss suddenly flipped over the back wall just now, and she was already gone when we chased it out!"

Higashino almost had a myocardial infarction!

"Get it back! Go to Duanmu's house to find it! ”

Higashino Hongji hurriedly sent someone to ask Liang Xiao for his guilt in advance.

Dongye Xuanji was uneasy and said, "Brother, Liang Xiao's methods are actually a bit vicious...... But he's fighting poison with poison, right? ”

Dongye Hongji nodded and said: "The status quo of Yanzhou, non-strongmen can't change it, listen to my father's advice, don't offend this person, otherwise the Dongye clan will be wiped out!" ”

Taishou House.

"Marquis Lanling, my lord is worried that Miss will join the ranks of denouncing you again, but her position does not represent the ...... of the Dongye clan."

Liang Xiao looked at the Dongye clan who wanted to cry without tears, and smiled: "It's okay, I already know the sincerity of the Dongye clan, and I won't be angry." ”

Yanzhou, inside the Duanmu family's mansion.

Duanmu Yan clenched Dongye Luoyue's hand, her eyes full of tears.

"You will live in my house these days, justice is in the hearts of the people, although we are women, we also have the backbone of scholars!"

Dongye Luoyue said: "I just want to prove that I am more virtuous and capable than that of Dongye Luoxi!" ”

Duanmu Yan's heart sank, and she remembered the former number one beauty in Yanzhou, the eldest lady of the Dongye clan.

Dongye Luoxi's talent and appearance stabilized the two of them.

However, her biological mother committed a great crime, and she was also affected and disappeared......

"It's a shame to mention her! Presumably, she has now become the concubine of some peasant family, or the cheap maid of a wealthy gentry. Duanmu Yan pouted.

In the northern Hebei military camp, Long Wushuang was accompanying his wife and children, and there was a sudden report of death outside.

"Young marshal! Daoist, they have something urgent to find you! ”

Back in the hall, Long Wushuang fell silent after reading the Yanzhou intelligence.

"It's still the young marshal who can see far! The Taoist chief said, after a while, the price of rice will definitely be lower than sixty wen and one stone, so in this way, we are making a normal profit......" The generals were apprehensive.

The Northern Hebei Army was all supported by Long Wushuang's belongings, so at that time they fiercely opposed the sale of grain to Liang Xiao at a price of sixty wen and one stone.

The head of the Ten Directions Dao said in a deep voice: "The grain shortage in Yanzhou will be solved, but Duguchen is a vicious person, and he will have a poisonous plan, so wait and see what happens." ”

In the city of Yanzhou, rice merchants from other places have entered the city one after another.

When these rice merchants heard that the price of grain in Yanzhou had risen to 100 wen and one stone, they had already set off.

"What? The price of rice is 20 wen and 1 stone?! ”

The rice merchants, who were originally full of expectations, were all shocked.

Twenty dollars and one stone, they can lose everything!

But among these rice merchants, there was a rice merchant who asked to see Liang Xiao.

"Lin Ping of the Guan Long Lin family, on the orders of my son-in-law Lin Shi, I ask to see the Marquis of Lanling!"

Liang Xiao immediately met with Mishang Lin Ping, and the other party got straight to the point.

"Marquis of Lanling, my son-in-law expected that there might be a food shortage in Yanzhou, so he arranged in advance to purchase grain in the next place, a total of 100,000 stones, and then on behalf of the various ethnic groups in Guanlong, he sold it to the Marquis of Lanling for fifty wen and one stone......"

Liang Xiao looked at Lin Ping, who was embarrassed, and was secretly shocked in his heart.

That Lin Shi returned to Guanlong from the capital, and he could still arrange the affairs of Yanzhou, wouldn't it be at least two months in advance?

He seemed to expect that he would come to Yanzhou.

Fortunately, Lin Shi did not release any news, and Lin Ping came to show goodwill.

What makes Lin Ping uncomfortable now is that they came to Yanzhou with goodwill, but Liang Xiao pushed the price of grain to 20 wen and one stone, then they must lose money.

"Lin Gongzi has a heart, we will buy these grains at a price of sixty yuan and one stone, and please convey my thanks to Mr. for me when I go back."

Liang Xiao said and gave Lin Ping a hundred taels of silver tickets.

Lin Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.

After Qin Xun sent Lin Ping away, he came back and praised Liang Xiao: "This Lin Gongzi is indeed not simple, if he can be wholeheartedly loyal to the imperial court in the future, he will be an auxiliary minister." ”

Liang Xiao said: "The matter of the Guanlong nobles, let's talk about it later, when the time is ripe, as long as they are given enough sincerity, they will naturally return to the imperial court, but they can no longer be allowed to be in charge of the Guanlong military for generations." ”

"When is the right time?" Qin Baili said.

Liang Xiao said: "When I first break through the army of Beihu and go south, I will prove to the world that the military strength of the Great Zhou is not what it used to be." ”

While everyone is looking forward to it, they can't help but worry.

That's going to be a long, long time......

The Lin family represented the Guanlong nobles, and unknowingly supported Liang Xiao with 100,000 stone of grain.

The people of Yanzhou receive the food rationed by the government at the designated place every day.

On average, each household can receive about three to four catties per day.

The people were grateful to Liang Xiao for this, even though the government repeatedly emphasized that the rationing was only temporary, and when the grain price returned to the normal range, the rationing would end.

Liang Xiao did not clearly explain to the people when food prices would fall.

The grain he has on hand is enough for Yanzhou to support the autumn harvest!

However, he would prefer to save a portion of this grain for military rations in case of emergency.

The matter of rice merchant Lin Ping selling grain went far and wide.

Other rice merchants found out that Lin Ping had delivered grain to the Taishou Mansion and intended to leave Yanzhou, so they came to inquire about the news.

Lin Ping said solemnly: "Marquis Lanling, he still has a lot of surplus grain on hand, definitely more than 500,000 stones, Lin Mou sold it first as a respect, and said goodbye!" ”

After speaking, Lin Ping ignored the rice merchants of the family who were scolding behind him, and under the protection of the guards, he got into the carriage and drove away.

In the afternoon, when the Taishou Mansion issued another announcement, a large number of grain trucks were placed on the streets.

"I would like to inform the people of the city: the surplus grain in the government treasury is 1.5 million stones, which is more than enough to support the autumn harvest in Yanzhou, and everyone does not have to buy grain at a high price, just receive rations of grain every day!"

The news spread quickly throughout the city through the newspapers of the day, and the whole city was filled with praise.

"One and a half million stones? Government rationing? How can it be!! ”

Duguchen received the news, and the first one said he didn't believe it.

Duanmu Yan frowned and said, "Should he fill it with a pile of sand and cover the surface with a layer of grain, or simply shoddy?" ”

Duanmu Xian said in a trembling voice: "Our people went to see the grain truck, and the grain on it was real...... The people who guarded the house were afraid that the people would not believe it, so they specially turned over each car with tools, just to prove that the grain on the grain truck was real!! ”

"How much grain and grass are there?" Duguchen said urgently.

"After estimating, there is at least one million and three hundred thousand stones!" Duanmu said in a mournful voice.

Duguchen only felt that his eyes were dark, and his eyes were cold: "I still have a plan!" ”

After several other foreign rice merchants learned about Taishoufu's grain hoarding, they couldn't sit still at all, and came to Liang Xiao to negotiate.

Without negotiations, their grain can only stay in Yanzhou, and the consumption of people and animals is also a huge expenditure.

They can't stand it for two months, let alone the autumn harvest.

After the imperial court experienced this artificially created grain shortage, it would definitely send people to purchase stored grain from all over Youzhou, and even if Yanzhou had a poor harvest this year, the imperial court could also mobilize grain from other states and counties.

However, they can't afford the price of 20 cents and 1 stone!

After Liang Xiao summoned this group of non-family rice merchants, he also gave his own offer.

"You have a total of 1.1 million stone of grain on hand, I have calculated the cost for you, 20 wen and 1 stone are lost, but 50 wen and 1 stone are profitable, after all, your grain is transported from other places. Fifty wen and one stone, the Taishou Mansion should be collected! You only have one chance to think about it, if you are as obsessed as those family rice merchants, you will bear the consequences! ”

Looking at the unwilling rice merchants, Liang Xiao's face showed a smile.

As soon as the grain of this group of rice merchants flowed into the treasury of Yanzhou, Yanzhou was completely relieved!

"I would like to remind you that there are more rice merchants from other places who are transporting grain to Yanzhou, and at that time, you will compete to lower the price, but I am afraid that the price of rice will drop below 20 Wen. After all, the people and government of Yanzhou can't eat so much grain, so you can either spend money to transport the grain elsewhere to sell, or let it rot in Yanzhou City. ”

"You know how to choose."
