Shen Mansion.

The rich gentry gathered here and were in high spirits.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind; This time they became the biggest beneficiaries.

Wang Yuanwai took the lead in saying: "Now the water and land are blocked, the waterway can't get in, you can't get out, you can get in by land, but it's difficult to get out, even if you go out, the carriage is not allowed to pass by, the price of raw silk, it's time to return to the original point." ”

"Origin?" Zhang Fushen sneered, "Lao Wang, you are too kind, right?" ”

"That is, those big silkworm farmers have hoarded all the raw silk in Jinling in their own hands, and even many people are borrowing money to hoard raw silk, their funds have dried up, as far as I know, they still owe the wages of the workers." A rich gentleman smiled and said, "At this moment, isn't it at our mercy?" ”

"That's a good point." Shen Xin said with a smile, "I can't afford the wages of the workers, those people can tear them alive, there is no capital turnover, and we don't have to do business next year, we have to lower the price." ”

He smiled: "The original price is impossible to the original price, it's just a matter of how much." ”

"If you want me to say, at least twenty percent."

"It's small, the pattern is small, and it's a bottom."

"Forty percent."

…

A group of people chattered endlessly, showing their greedy faces.

In the end, after heated discussions, the rich gentry unanimously decided to reduce the price by forty and a half.

Then they began to divide the spoils, and whoever ate as much as they wanted, and whoever ate them, had to come up with a charter to avoid accidentally injuring friendly soldiers.

The Weaving Bureau has no money, and they can only be the ones who will copy the bottom in the end, and a group of people are excited and noisy.

After arguing for a long time, the allocation amount was finally set to everyone's reluctantly satisfactory amount.

Shen Xin got up and said, "I'm afraid that Jinling's current state of semi-lockdown can't last too long, so it's time to give them eye medicine." ”

"What is Boss Shen's opinion?"

"Simple." Shen Xin said slowly, "Let's make a statement first, we buy raw silk at the original price, and then, spread the news that those big silkworm farmers have no money, so that their workers panic;

Then, let the workers be bribed and let them go to the yamen to complain;

When the time comes... Yes? Haha......"

"Oh? Haha......"

Weaving Bureau.

"How's it going over there?" Li Qing leaned on the recliner, and the fan shook it again and again, it was almost September, and it was still very hot.

"Back to my lord, all the big silk farmers have made a statement that the purchase of raw silk will be based on the market price of previous years." Xiao Liuzi said, "Shall we do it?" ”

"Original price?" Li Qing smiled, "They won't have such good intentions, just wait, don't worry, it's not time yet." ”

Xiao Liuzi was not at ease and asked: "My lord, do you want to send Jinyiwei's brothers to watch those big silkworm farmers, so as not to make mistakes?" ”

"Well, send some more excited brothers to watch, don't interfere with them, just take care of the news." Li Qing thought for a while and said, "It's so hot this day, give some high temperature subsidies to the brothers of Jinyiwei, fifty wen per person per day." ”

If you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass.

With money, people do things with care.

Xiao Liuzi nodded happily, "The adult is kind." ”

As soon as he went out, he summoned hundreds of brocade guards, "Our family has an important matter to hand over to you, well done, a subsidy of forty wen per person per day...... gō Πb.ōγg

Li Qing was quite calm, he was sure that without his help, those rich gentry would pave the way.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows." Li Qing played with the teacup and chuckled to himself, "Let's see who has the last laugh." ”

As he spoke, he got up and dropped the fan and went back to his 'air-conditioned' room to cool off.

The direction of things is exactly the same as Li Qing's expectations, only in the past two days, those large sericulture farmers have gathered in the Weaving Bureau.

One by one, they couldn't wait to sell raw silk, indicating that the price could be renegotiated.

Li Qing didn't show his face, but just asked Xiao Liuzi to agree.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Weaving Bureau is short of funds and can't eat your raw silk." Xiao Liuzipi said with a smile, "Let's go back, our weaving bureau is not short of raw silk." ”

A group of people hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the price is easy to say, according to the original seven achievements of the Weaving Bureau." ”

"Seventy percent, which is also seven times the original price." Xiao Liuzi sneered, "Our family has heard that those big silk households are bidding the same price as the market price in previous years!" ”

"Father-in-law, those people are just taking advantage of the fire to rob." A boss said, "We spent a lot of money to buy so much raw silk, not to mention the market price in previous years, it is tripled, and we don't make money!" ”

"Yes, father-in-law." Another person said, "The price of this raw silk has risen because of you, you can't ignore it!" ”

Xiao Liuzi's face sank, "When there was a shortage of raw silk before the Weaving Bureau, you covered them one by one more tightly than anyone else, but you didn't sell them, and now that the price has fallen, you remembered us?"

To tell you the truth, there is no shortage of raw silk in the Weaving Bureau now!

Besides, did we let you buy and hoard raw silk in large quantities? ”

"Father-in-law, don't be angry, he can't speak." A wealthy middle-aged man played a round field and said, "Anyway, this raw silk or the weaving bureau is good, there is no impermeable wall in the world, when the raw silk entered the weaving bureau during the day, and was pulled away at night...... In case something goes wrong... Hehe... It's not a good thing after all, is it? ”

"Well, shameless untouchables dare to threaten our family." Xiao Liuzi was furious, "Someone." ”

"Oh, don't you dare, the grass people don't dare to threaten your father-in-law." The middle-aged man was startled, and hurriedly defended, and at the same time took out a silver ticket and quietly handed it into Xiao Liuzi's sleeve.

Xiao Liuzi didn't look at it, so he threw it out and scolded: "Now you are in a good mood, don't care, if you dare to do this again, just wait to go to prison." ”

He loves money, but he loves power even more.

Compared with the promotion and salary increase in the celebrant supervisor, the money can't get into his eyes at all.

Since ancient times, if you can't do things with money, you can't do things, and you can't collect money.

Xiao Liuzi is not a good person, but he still has good character, and he understands the rules of the Tao.

If it weren't for the fact that he would have to deal with these people in the future, he would have to make a big deal to prove that he was incorruptible.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of our family here."

"Father-in-law......

'Rub ......! The brocade guard stepped forward and embroidered the spring knife three inches out of the sheath.

These big silk hoarders didn't dare to fart immediately, and walked away in disgrace.

The ups and downs came too fast, and their mentality was about to collapse, and the raw silk first appreciated tenfold, and then depreciated tenfold, which made it difficult for them to accept.

Up to now, they still haven't recognized the reality, thinking that it's just that the Weaving Bureau and the big silk farmers think the price is too high, and they have discussed it and deliberately lowered the price.

It was not until three days later, when the workers below went to the yamen to complain about their arrears of wages, and the government ordered them to settle the wages of the people within ten days, and to punish them for hoarding, that they realized the seriousness of the problem.

A group of people were shocked and remorseful.

It would be great if it was sold at the highest price of raw silk!

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is too late to say anything.

The government only gave ten days.

If this time limit is exceeded, the government will have to take people to ask for guilt, and when the time comes, don't talk about money, whether people can keep it or not.

If you don't sell it, you can't sell it at a high price, and the road to Suzhou and Hangzhou is blocked.

This time, they were in a hurry.

But the price of raw silk has fallen again and again, but no one cares.

Three days later, it dropped to twice the market price of previous years, and still no one wanted it.

Even if they said that the Weaving Bureau didn't buy their raw silk at all, the big silk farmers didn't care, as Li Qing expected, they just thought that these people were in a hurry to make a move.

Moreover, the weaving bureau has not stopped.

Five days later, the original price was reduced, but the large silk farmers who had set the price before were picky in the eggs and refused to buy them on the grounds of poor quality of raw silk.

These silk hoarders have a dead heart.

For the next few days, one day at a time.

Ninety percent,

Probably

Seventy percent.

The silk hoarders were in a hurry, but the raw silk just couldn't be sold, but the big silk farmers were light and light, and they were not in a hurry.

Just when these silkworm farmers were desperate and even collapsed, Li Qing made a move.

The brocade guards were used to bring these people to the weaving bureau at night.

Li Qing was magnanimous and compassionate: "It's not easy for you, so let's do it, how much raw silk do you have, we want it all from the Weaving Bureau." ”

"My lord, what price can the imperial court offer?" One man asked boldly.

Li Qing smiled lightly: "You are also the people, the emperor is benevolent and loves the people, the court will not take advantage of people's danger, what price in previous years, what price the Weaving Bureau still collects, how much as it receives." ”

"The emperor is shengming, long live the emperor, my lord is really the master of the blue sky......!"

A group of people were grateful to Dade and wept bitterly.

These days, they have gone from great joy to great sorrow, and many people's hair has turned gray, and even some people want to find a short-term view.

Now this result is a blessing in misfortune for them, how can they not accept it.

Li Qing smiled slightly.
