The grain convoy was robbed, and all the sergeants who followed the ship survived.

This can be regarded as a major event that has not been seen in decades, and I remember that the last time was forty years ago, when the first emperor was in power, the White Lotus Sect did this.

Therefore, the local officials in charge of Shangqiu knew about this time, and sent a fast horse to the capital to report, which immediately caused an uproar in the capital and made the Son of Heaven angry.

After a seizure in court, a team of Shenwu guards rode out of the capital on fast horses that day and went straight to Shangqiu.

Prepare to follow the traces, arrest and bring to justice the group of daring criminals who dared to attack official ships and kill the soldiers of the imperial court.

But obviously, this is not easy to do.

After all, as one of the three major cults in the world and an expert in rebellion, Manichaeism has sufficient experience in dealing with the imperial court.

If the network of the Gongwei Division and the Imperial City Division all over the world is still in place, the imperial court side may still be able to pull back a game in a short period of time. However, it is a pity that because of Bai Li's previous move, the big net has long been shattered.

In addition, due to the shortage of manpower in the Yamen of the Gongwei Division and the Imperial City Division, the Son of Heaven is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the land of the Three Auxiliaries, and with him in charge, outsiders must not mess around. Directly send out the three assistants, those who were lucky not to die in the last attack, Gong Weisi and Huangcheng Si.

Those Tiangao emperors who are far away need eyes and ears even more.

As a result, the surroundings of the Jingshi are actually in a kind of monitoring vacuum. So unless a miracle happens, otherwise, most of this team of Divine Warriors will return empty-handed.

Not to mention the team of Shenwu Guards, how to act at Shangqiu.

On the other side, the fleet carrying grain was robbed, and after receiving orders from above, the Manichaeans lurking in the land of Sanfu also began to act.

No, in fact, they had already started to act long before the grain convoy was hijacked. It's just that at that time, their actions were like spring rain, delicate and silent.

And now, it's time for them to officially start to show their hideousness.

"Inform me to collect grain in an all-round way from now on, and at the same time arrange for people to increase the price of grain," Shangluo, in the courtyard of a high gate, an elegant man, stroked his beard, and instructed his subordinates: "I want to make the price of grain in Shangluo and the surrounding areas more than triple in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes!" replied the man.

"In addition, the local officials should also be arranged," the elegant middle-aged man continued, "Don't let them talk nonsense, understand?"

"Please rest assured," his subordinates hurriedly said: "The subordinates will let this relevant news not go out of the county seat!"

That's right, this time Manichaeism seized the point to be hit, and it was the price of food.

Because of the previous chaos in the southeast, although it was quelled by the imperial court, the losses caused have been completed. In particular, the grain has basically been declared completely destroyed by the flood and the military disaster.

Not only can it not feed back to the imperial court, but it also needs to transfer food from other sources. In order to help the victims and calm people's hearts, in fact, during the previous period, the Son of Heaven and the court were busy with this.

The loss of one place in the southeast also indicates that the current grain supply pressure in the three auxiliary areas has all fallen on several other grain-producing areas. It makes it necessary for the imperial court to spend more time and more manpower and materials to ensure the food supply of the capital and even the land of Sanfu.

And Manichaeism took a fancy to this.

First of all, through their people, they were broken into pieces, like a drizzle, silently collecting grain in the land of Sanfu.

Then, when the imperial court finally mobilized the grain and then transported it to the capital, in Shangqiu, which was close to the land of Sanfu, the grain that was ready to be sent to the capital was burned, and the grain was not stored. Reading the Book House

After that, it was just like what the elegant middle-aged man had just commanded.

When the news of the robbery of the grain convoy broke out, the grain began to be collected in full swing. Then they either threatened, or induced, or simply let the people who lurk everywhere take the lead and start raising food prices!

As the so-called bustling world, it is all for profit. The world is crowded, all for profit. As long as someone takes the lead in raising food prices, then driven by profits, others will naturally follow suit.

It doesn't matter if you don't follow up, if you sell it cheaply, Manichaeism can pay to take all your grain and sell it at a high price. In short, in the hands of the people who actually need it in the land of Sanfu, it is all high-priced grain.

It really doesn't work, Manichaeism can directly attack the root cause and burn the grain. Anyway, as one of the three major cults, they are not well-behaved people. This kind of destruction is really common for them.

In this way, the price of this food will definitely skyrocket. On the other side of the canal, they continued to stare at it, sinking the next batch of boats. At the same time, when the news broke out, he secretly created panic in the land of Sanfu.

These three auxiliary places will definitely be boiling with resentment and panic at that time.

And then the Manichaean people, at this time, gently pushed behind the backs of these ordinary people who lacked food, and then these three auxiliary places......

Of course, this is just the perfect idea.

Whether the plan will be implemented as the Manichaean leadership wishes will only be known when the time comes.

However, there are currently variables that may lead to the failure of the plan, and the network of the two violent institutions used by the imperial court to monitor the world is no longer there.

Therefore, as long as they can control the local government and act faster, then their plan is likely to succeed.

As for whether they can control the local government......

Shang Yu, the elegant middle-aged man's subordinates, came directly to a mansion, saw the master's family, greeted him briefly, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Liang, there is a big deal, I don't know if you can do it?"

"Tell me about it," said the rich-looking host, raising an eyebrow.

The subordinates whispered: "I think you have also heard that the imperial court's grain fleet ...... It was robbed on the Shangqiu side, so this grain will definitely be in short supply for a period of time in the future, and the price of this grain is ...... Naturally, the tide is also rising. ”

"This is indeed a good deal," the master frowned slightly, "But I don't have much food in my hands, even if it rises, how much profit can I make?"

"It's true that Brother Liang doesn't have much food," his subordinates chuckled, "But Sister Ling...... The lord of Kamiru Prefecture ......"

"That's not good," the master was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, you don't want to harm me, that's the storehouse, once something goes wrong, don't say it's me, even my sister-in-law will lose her head!"

"Brother Liang, don't panic, you and I have been friends for so many years, can I still harm you?" his subordinates said confidently: "Think about it, who is most anxious about the robbery of this grain ship? Therefore, the imperial court will definitely transfer grain from the south in the shortest possible time to stabilize grain prices.

When the time comes, we will make up as much as we sell, and what we will earn is the difference. As long as the treasury is filled, what is the problem? Moreover, Brother Liang, once this common man has no food to eat, they can do anything.

When the time comes, something will really happen, and the bitter one will still be Sister Ling, is it the imperial court? Let's also count this as a ...... Share worries for the country and sell food for the people. ”

Obviously, some of the main family members were moved by the words of that subordinate, and the expression on their faces struggled for a long time before they whispered: "...... Can you really make up for it?"

"Brother Liang, you just can't trust me, and you can't trust the imperial court?" asked his subordinates rhetorically.

"I need to ask my brother-in-law," the lord replied.

"No problem," his subordinates said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for your good news, Brother Liang." ”
