Everyone in the audience was stunned again.

"This Liang Xiao, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

Duguchen saw Liang Xiao smiling, and he was inexplicably worried.

He just wanted to see Liang Xiao angry, or panicked.

But he is so calm now, and he invited himself to the stage to talk.

Even if he protested publicly, he would not be convicted by Liang Xiao, let alone beheaded in public.

But he always felt that Liang Xiao had some conspiracy.

"Why do I want to talk to you, if you want to talk, you should calmly face the questions of thousands of students and people, why bother staring at me alone?"

Duguchen responded proudly, making Mu Qinxue and the others in the distance feel disgusted.

"With so many people and so many mouths, when will it take to finish asking? In the end, it just developed into a physical conflict, is this what you Duguchen expects? ”

Liang Xiao's loud questioning made Duguchen frown.

He is also kidnapping himself in the occupation of morality?

"Dugu Gongzi, on behalf of us, question him well and see what he can quibble!"

The scholars below couldn't help it anymore and made a proposal.

Immediately afterwards, the echo was endless, and everyone agreed that Duguchen questioned Liang Xiao on behalf of the scholar.

Duguchen looked back at everyone and saw the fear on their faces, which instantly became clear to him.

This group of scholars, after all, is still afraid of death!

The Liang family army was in danger and did not move, and this group of scholars was in chaos first.

The current square is an invisible battlefield.

What he wants is that the scene is as chaotic as possible, and Liang Xiao is speechless.

Who would have thought that Liang Xiao planned to talk to him in front of thousands of people!

Now, if he refuses, he will be disadvantaged.

Moreover, he had already noticed Mu Qinxue's disgusted eyes.

In the distance, there was a masked girl with beautiful eyes, who was also looking at him with this kind of look.

He was sure that they were all looking at him, not Liang Xiao.

The kind of look that looked down on him in his heart made him jealous.

"Then I will dare to represent the thousands of students and people in Yanzhou and question you well."

Duguchen's condescending posture made Gongsun Yue also begin to feel disgusted.

But Liang Xiaotian's calm and calm also made her wonderful.

Doesn't he understand that he is at a disadvantage?

The people were represented, much quieter, and these students had a reason to stop.

With all eyes on him, Duguchen walked onto the high platform and sat opposite Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao just calmly poured a cup of hot tea for him and himself.

Duguchen saw his calm demeanor, and he couldn't help but feel timid.

Liang Xiao in front of him is only seventeen years old, but his words and deeds will never be clear to him.

The outcome of every event is always surprising.

This is an opponent that you can't control.

"You can't be reasonable, but you can't show weakness either! At least he's questioned, and I've got the upper hand! ”

After Duguchen made up his mind, he took the lead in getting up, raised his voice and asked: "Let me ask you, why do you wantonly manipulate food prices and disregard people's livelihood?" ”

Everyone below spread the word from ten to hundred, and soon spread Duguchen's first sentence to the audience.

This is the question of all the people of Yanzhou.

"Isn't it because you families, who occupy most of the land in Yanzhou, not only refuse to sell grain, but also buy surplus grain from other farmers at a high price, and then transport it out of Yanzhou, hoarding it, resulting in no grain to sell in the market, which causes a grain shortage, waiting to raise the price of grain."

Liang Xiaoyi's stern response made Duguchen sneer.

"Then why did you take the initiative to increase the price of food?"

Liang Xiao replied, "Isn't it just to attract you rice merchants? ”

The people below were thoughtful.

The biggest force in Yanzhou, on the surface, is the local Dongye clan, but in fact, it is a household name for several other big families who have joined forces.

Those families were large landowners, and the main output of grain was in their hands and the tenant farmers under their name.

But the more they think about it, the more wrong it becomes.

According to those scholars, it was Liang Xiao who disregarded the people's livelihood, and then the rice merchants urgently transported grain back to support Yanzhou.

But they are not completely incapable of thinking.

Isn't this just that the rice merchant waited for prices to rise, so he was deceived back by Liang Xiao?

"Since ancient times, you and I are willing to buy and sell grain, and our rice merchants didn't still transport grain in the end, but you maliciously lowered the price and bet to 20 yuan, so fraudulent!" Duguchen feigned anger.

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Taishoufu has purchased a lot of grain, and lowering the price is not good for the Taishoufu, but it is beneficial to the people, so I don't just take care of the interests of the people to reduce the price?" ”

Duguchen feigned anger again: "You treat rice merchants like this, how many rice merchants will dare to cooperate with you in the future?" ”

Liang Xiao said without hesitation: "This is not to worry about Raul and others, as long as the rice merchants are not a few of you, there will be no more artificially created famine in Yanzhou, and the mistakes of the past will be repeated." ”

Duguchen's expression changed.

Liang Xiao's meaning couldn't be more obvious.

He just wants to exterminate the rice merchants of the great family and replace himself and others!

"But you took the opportunity to suppress land prices and annex a large amount of land, and thousands of farmers suffered unspeakably because of the plummeting land prices!"

In the face of Duguchen's aggressive posture, Liang Xiao still responded calmly: "You big landlords take and annex the peasants' land by force on weekdays, and you don't say a word. And I only buy land from you big landlords, and I don't take any of the peasants' land, and now that the price of land has risen, it is only your interests that will really bear the loss. ”

Without waiting for Duguchen to reply, Liang Xiao asked rhetorically: "Then, why did you big families give me the land at that time?" ”

Duguchen stubbornly said: "Commercial business, you are willing to do it, how many times do you want me to emphasize it?" ”

Liang Xiao stared at Duguchen coldly, and said: "You are just looking at the grain shortage in Yanzhou, the price of grain is soaring, and the people are not able to make a living sooner or later, so as long as you sell your land and leave, you can withdraw from Yanzhou in time!" It's just that you didn't expect that I still have food in my hands to maintain the people's livelihood until you rice merchants of the great family can't hold on! ”

There was a lot of discussion at the bottom, and even the scholars of the academy were confused.

The statements they accept are completely different from those of Liang Xiao.

"Didn't you say that the Taishou Mansion wantonly raised prices, suppressed land prices, and then encircled large tracts of land?"

Duguchen was a little anxious in his heart.

He suddenly understood Liang Xiao's intention to talk to him, the representative.

People have many mouths and can muddy the water.

But confronting each other one-on-one, some things can only become clearer the more you argue.

Liang Xiao's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said loudly: "The imperial court, and I personally, did not take even a single acre of land from the hands of real farmers, and all the sales contracts were kept in the Taishou Mansion, which is enough to prove that these big landowners of the family are willing to sell the land." As Duguchen said, you and I are willing to buy and sell business. ”

"In addition, in response to the rumors that the Taishou Mansion is disregarding the people's livelihood, I will announce the news in public here."

"From today until the autumn harvest, the price of rice will remain at 35 wen and one stone!"

"Thirty-five Wen and one stone?!"

The audience was in an uproar.

This is the lowest point in Yanzhou's history of rice prices.

At this moment, all the people in the audience cheered.

They all know very well that the government's ration of free grain is only temporary, and what matters is what the price of rice will be in the future.

Twenty wen and one stone, of course, is unrealistic, this is just Liang Xiao's bid to suppress those rice merchants.

Now the Taishou Mansion has all the grain, thirty-five wen and one stone...... Pretty cheap!

Duanmu Yan at the bottom, Nangong Ning, Duanmu Yunqing and others on the balcony of the inn became more and more anxious.
