Chapter three hundred and ninety seventh bucket rice five texts
Although the location here is relatively remote, it is in Chang'an City after all. Such a loud assassination has long attracted the attention of people around. Not long after, the dense sound of footsteps and horse hooves sounded, and the patrol of the city and the soldiers stationed in the city came one after another.
"Give me your horse." Yan Fei helped Eleventh Lady, who had a pale face and had not recovered yet, took out the waist card Li Er gave him to the captain who led the team and then snatched the other person's horse.
"I'll go to the palace to meet the emperor later." After getting on the horse, Yan Fei looked at the captain. "At that time, I need to know who these people were, and who hired them."
The captain's face looked ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything. Because the token Yan Fei took out was given by the emperor himself, as the garrison in Chang'an City, he was a man from Men Qing. Knowing that the guy in strange clothes in front of him was extraordinary, he could only swallow his anger and respond.
Yan Fei didn't care about the anger of the lieutenant, and rode his horse and Eleventh Niang towards his mansion with a smile. He wanted to send Eleventh Niang to the mansion and also changed into a dress. At this time, his clothes were not only damaged by the knife and arrow, but also stained with many red blood stains and had to be replaced.
Although there was a faint smile on his face, Yan Fei's heart was burning with anger. If he didn't have the power given by the dragon soul, wouldn't he be dead this time? This kind of opponent who directly wants to destroy his body from the ro body will never be spared.
After coming to his own mansion in the city, put Eleventh Lady in order to instruct Zhao Si to strengthen his vigilance, Yan Fei returned to his home in Fengze Garden in the modern world to take a bath and change clothes. After washing up and drinking two cups of whiskey to calm down, he came to the time and space of the Tang Dynasty again. He rode his horse out and headed straight for the palace. He wanted to ask for an explanation for what happened today.
The Tai Chi Palace is still so majestic and magnificent. The guards in front of the palace gate are still wearing majestic bright light armor, which makes people fall in love with it under the sunlight. Yan Fei, who was riding a horse, couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw this scene. There was an assassination in the city, and it was very large, but there was no reaction here. Is he looking down on himself?
Yan Fei suppressed his anger and entered the Tai Chi Palace, and then led by the eunuch to the palace where Li Er was.
"The person who attacked you was peace in Nancheng.bang." Li Er was not indifferent to the attack as Yan Fei thought, but had already obtained the result. "As for the employer behind it..."
"It's the Prince of Changling." Yan Fei directly told the envoy behind the scenes. Because he could not think of anyone other than the Prince of Changling that had such a deep hatred with him. Those grain merchants had not yet closed the net and did not know that they were providing food to Li Er.
Peace.bang is a bang school located in Hepingfang, Nancheng. They do all kinds of gray things. It is common for them to take orders and kill people.
The Changling County Prince Li Youxin was robbed of his title because he was sued by Yan Fei and sent to Jinyang to guard the Li family's ancestral tomb. Under this deep hatred, under the instigation of the people around him, he spent a huge sum of 10,000 yuan to bribe the Peace Bang to attack Yan Fei.
"What will Your Majesty do?" Yan Fei asked calmly.
"The prince of Changling does not want to repent, and the crime of hiring murder is unforgivable. He is given a white silk." In Li Shimin's heart, a waste prince with no use and Yan Fei who can provide a large amount of various materials are incomparable. At this time, he naturally arranged for Yan Fei. "As for that peaceful bang, I have ordered the Baiqi Division and Qianniu Guard of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice to wipe out. What do you think?"
"Yeah." Yan Fei smiled on his face and nodded slightly to express his satisfaction. "Yes."
Yan Fei had already made preparations to fight back if Li Er protects his tribe, then he would turn his back on him and kill that bastard. However, Li Shimin, who was able to expand his territory and gain history, was not simple after all, and Yan Fei was very satisfied with his arrangements and disposal.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." Yan Fei skipped the matter directly and turned to the topic. "Now it's almost time to close the Internet."
"Yeah." Li Er was in a obviously good mood and also agreed with Yan Fei's point of view.
The amount of food sold wildly over the past period of time has exceeded 5 million stones. One million and a half bulldozed stones were sold at a dou of fifty cents, in exchange for a huge amount of money worth 750,000 guan.
Originally, Li Shimin thought that this was already a huge fortune, but immediately when the price of grain was lowered to twenty-five cents, the people who bought the grain were even more crazy than before, and they rushed to buy more than four million stones of grain. This brought back a huge sum of more than one million guan to the court.
In addition to paying Yan Fei for the goods, Li Er also lost a wealth of millions of yuan. This was almost as close to the Tang Dynasty's fiscal revenue for half a year.
Moreover, Yan Fei will continue to provide various urgently needed materials at a low price. Although he is not sure why Yan Fei had to help the Tang Dynasty so selflessly, Li Er was thinking of not taking advantage of the situation and making as much money as he could.
In this case, let alone the Prince of Changling, even if he, Li Yuan, wanted to touch Yan Fei, Li Er could give him to Guangong again.
"What do you think should be done?" Li Er asked Yan Fei for his opinion in a good mood.
Although there are no exact statistics, based on various data, the number of people in the entire Chang'an City who can eat is roughly 1.5 million.
In this era where there are no fruits and vegetables, no meat, and no food, and no food and drinks, there is no lack of oil and water in the stomach. Just calculated by the average person eating one pound of grain a day, one person can eat one stone of grain on average for three months. In other words, if it is not counted as a military resident, the monthly food consumption in Chang'an City is roughly about 500,000 stones.
The official warehouse was selling grain in a crazy manner before, and the amount counted exceeded 5 million stones, which was enough for the people of the entire Chang'an City to eat for ten months.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the residents in the city to buy so much food. Most of the food is bought by those grain merchants. The market is also oversaturated, and what we need to do now is to give those grain merchants a fatal blow.
"Your Majesty can lower the price again." Yan Fei's trick was very simple, which was to hurt people by himself. "Slow down the price directly to single digits, and it would be appropriate for every bucket of grain to be five cents. Then, a notice was posted in the form of an imperial edict to tell everyone that the price would last until the autumn grain came down."
Hiss Li Er took a cold breath, his eyes changed, and his words were shocked, "Dou Mi Wuwen?! You are so cruel."
After rushing for purchases some time ago, most of the residents in the city have bought a lot of food. Even the five-me-double rice no longer has a large amount of consumption in a short period of time, because the people in the city have no more money.
Yan Fei's target was not the people in the city, but the grain merchants who bought millions of stones of grain.
In the early Tang Dynasty, it was not as prosperous and powerful as the era of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was so rich that it could not be used. But at this time, the Tang Dynasty was so poor that it was bartered in many places. Even because of insufficient coins, silk had to be replaced. The grain merchants spent more than one million stags of money to buy so much food, but they were completely smashed into their hands.
Let’s not mention that the people in the city have no money to buy grain. Even if they have money, they will go to the official warehouse to buy grain of five cents and one dou. The millions of stones of grain purchased for fifty cents and twenty-five cents and one dou in the hands of grain merchants can’t sell them at all. Unless the price they sell is lower than that of five cents and one dou.
But when you buy it, it is fifty or twenty-five yuan per bucket, and when you sell it, it is even lower than five yuan. That is really a loss to the bottom. It is not enough to get rid of the pants.
If you are in business, you can't sell the things in your hands and it will be like you're smashing into your own hands. You can only watch the piles of food gradually mold, and you even have to spend a lot of money on daily maintenance. This loss is enough to cause any businessman to have a heart attack.
Yan Fei’s most ruthless proposal was that he used Li Er’s reputation as a guarantee to ensure that the price of grain of five cents and one dou will be maintained until the autumn harvest. At that time, a large amount of grain harvest will be even more unlikely to rise.
Moreover, there are still a few months left to the autumn harvest. The grain merchants have borrowed a lot of money to raise money to buy grain. At the price of five cents and one dou, let alone repaying the capital, they can't even pay the interest on the borrowed seal. In addition, the pressure from the aristocratic families behind them, the grain merchants probably have no other choice than jumping into the river.
Thinking of this, Yan Fei suddenly felt a little moved and looked at Li Er, "Your Majesty, you wouldn't lend money to those grain merchants, right?"
A look of pride flashed across Li Er's face, but it was fleeting. After coughing, he spoke perfunctorily, "It's all Keming and the others who are doing it, and I don't know."
Yan Fei smiled and didn't ask again, but he knew it in his heart. The emperor was indeed a good method and lent money to buy grain merchants behind his back. It won't take long for the millions of stones of grain they bought after the grain merchants were forced to death and Li Er smiled.
Li Er had the means to be able to keep his name in history and be known together with Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
"Your Majesty made a big profit this time." Yan Fei smiled at the corner of his mouth. "Not only did he earn more than one million pounds of wealth, he could still get millions of stones of grain. Yan admired this business. However, the fact that Your Majesty could make a big profit was all because of the food I provided at a low price. Is this a credit?"
"You don't want to give you a title, either." Li Shimin felt helpless, "What do you want?"
"Two things." Yan Fei raised two fingers. "First, the matter of going to Goguryeo is on the agenda."
"Don't worry about this." Li Shimin nodded slightly. "Your things are ready, and I will launch a large army to fight against Goguryeo soon to save the shame of the previous dynasty."
Yan Fei nodded slightly, then asked, "Duke Ying Guogong Wu Shiyan has returned to Chang'an City from Jingzhou?"
"Hmm?" Li Shimin was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Yan Fei was paying attention to the warrior. After thinking about it, nodded slightly, "I have returned to Chang'an City a few days ago."
