I am the king of the dead

Chapter 367

The coal released by Zhu Qiyuwan is the official release, and at the entrance of the coal market, there is enough control.

This is also a similar operation that the imperial court has every time it releases coal.

In the eyes of the imperial court, these merchants can effectively cooperate with the imperial court to release coal.

In the winter of the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, the city of Kaifeng was "lack of charcoal among the people, and its price was very expensive". Seeing that the people couldn't bear it, the imperial court paid 40 yuan of charcoal, and took out part of the wood coal it controlled, and put it on the market at half price. The people flocked to buy it, and as a result, a tragic incident occurred in which "someone who trampled the dead" trampled to death.

During the four-year winter of Song Renzong Jiayou, it was cold, rainy and snowy, and the price of firewood and food doubled. Many people died in the cold, and 80 catties of coal were put in, but they were quickly sold out.

From the Hongwu period to the Yongle period, hundreds of thousands of catties of coal were released.

This is because Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di only have so much coal in their hands.

The two released all 56 catties of red bamboo tribute charcoal, 36 catties of black charcoal, 36 catties of black coal, and [-] catties of firewood from Xixinsi.

But the people are still struggling.

Too little, a drop in the bucket.

Whether it is the siphon phenomenon in Nanya, or the home of millions of cold food near Beiya, it cannot be solved by a million catties of coal.

There are several conditions for Zhu Qiyu's official release.

First, only accepting imperial silver coins, Zhu Qiyu still wants to promote his own imperial silver coins as the currency in circulation in Nanya, and second, buying in bulk, ten thousand at a time.

Your Majesty is benevolent and will not cheat the poor.

At dusk on the first day, Zhu Qiyu released 80 weights, about 600 million catties.

Meishikou received silver coins, and Baoyuan Bureau released silver coins. Zhu Qiyu released them on the first day, nearly 20 imperial silver coins.

Until this time, Zhu Qiyu still didn't show his fangs.

If these merchants realize that something is wrong at this time, and release coal with His Majesty, the price of coal will reach eight or nine cents a catty. Although they will lose money, they will definitely not go bankrupt.

All merchants, merchants, and common people are waiting for coal.

Because everyone knows.

The snow stopped, and when it started to melt, people were about to start freezing to death.

Wait a few more days, and the price of coal will skyrocket!
In addition to the coal market in Nanjing, the coal market in Luzhou, Anqing, Taiping, Chizhou, Ningguo, Huizhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo also began to release coal.

"If they are willing to stop at this time, they will not go bankrupt if they start distributing coal with the court now." Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian were playing chess, this time it was the Civil War.

In the Civil War of Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian was holding the Nanya, and Zhu Qiyu was holding the Beiya. The two people were inseparable.

Zhu Qiyu lost Xuzhou, and then was besieged by the Nanya rebels, Jinan Prefecture, and finally took advantage of the victory to go north and besieged Beijing.

Then he was pushed back by the training of the Volunteer Regiment in Beizhili, and together with Zhu Qiyu's army in Jinan, he pushed straight to Nanya, destroying everything.

Yu Qian was defeated.

"The strength gap between the Southern Yamen and the Northern Yamen is still too great." Yu Qian surrendered. There is a voluntary regiment in Beizhili that can be recruited, and the Nanya can only recruit strong men. No matter how talented they are in military affairs, there is no possibility of victory.

Zhu Qiyu put away his soldiers and pushed the chessboard.

Zhu Qiyu can win without Xing'an.

"Your Majesty has already started to release coal. If so much is released today, will the price of coal drop tomorrow?" Yu Qian asked suspiciously.

Yu Qian really can't understand the price of coal in Nanya now.

His Majesty put coal in Nanya, and they actually bought it all. The price only stabilized, and there was no possibility of any drop.

The heavy snow has become smaller, and Yu Qian also hopes that the price of coal can drop a little.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Yu Shaobao, you underestimate the profit-seeking temperament of these people. They are already red-eyed now."

"When I put coal, Zhang's imperial list clearly told them that I have [-] million catties of coal, and I will put the coal in more than ten days."

"But they either don't believe that I have [-] million catties of coal to release, or they don't believe that I have [-] million catties of coal that will have bad consequences."

"During the time of curfew, they held the silver coins they had exchanged from Baoyuan Bureau and gathered at the entrance of the coal market to demand coal release."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly, and said with a sigh: "They are chasing the price."

Yu Qian sighed and said, "Oh, Lie Ziyun: When you take gold, you don't see people, you only see gold."

"In the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi State, there was a man who was eager to get gold. He came to the market early in the morning dressed up, went into a shop selling gold, grabbed a piece of gold and ran away. The officials caught him and asked: "So many people are there. Why do you still steal other people's gold?"

"He replied: When I took the gold, I didn't see anyone, but the gold."

"These wealthy businessmen now probably think that this coal is gold scattered on the streets, and it is gold that is left unattended."

"Your Majesty putting coal, in their view, is almost equivalent to giving them money."

Zhu Qiyu finished listening to the story.

Yu Qian is a well-educated Jinshi. He may not understand so many twists and turns in financial affairs, but Yu Qian knows history very well. Liezi's words really fully describe the psychological activities of this group of people chasing gains at this time.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "That's probably the idea. They thought it was gold that was left unattended, but they never thought that such a thing can't be done."

As long as, as long as the coal price is lowered or not long after it is lowered, you can make a lot of money.

"Will your Majesty still put coal tomorrow?" Yu Qian said with a smile.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The curfew has been lifted at Meishikou today, and coal is released day and night, and a few more Fukou have been added. Today, at least 150 million will be released."

"Don't they want to eat? Stretch them to death!"

"Tomorrow I plan to release 200 million titles!"

"The coal market is still expanding. As long as they can eat it, I will release 400 million scales in the future. I will keep releasing it until they can't eat it!"

Zhu Qiyu's expression became fierce. This is 750 million weights, and every 15 weights is [-] catties.

250 million jin of coal.

Yu Qian said with a smile: "I hope they can repent in time."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands and said, "No no no."

"According to the saying of fishing, they have already bit the bait at this time and have entered the stage where I am fighting with them fish. If it is said that I am weak, they can drag my fishing rod into the water, or even drag me into the water. into the water."

"But if they don't put in all their strength to pull the fishing line at this time, they will be caught by me."

"Repentance is before the bait is bitten, and they have no way out now."

Yu Qian stopped his hands in arranging troops and smiled all over his face.

Your Majesty's analogy is very interesting.

In fact, it illustrates the current situation of Lianghuai salt merchants, Huguang Tian merchants, and Liangzhe sea merchants.

That is, they must maintain the price of coal at this time, not lower than the price they bought, otherwise they will lose money.

This wrestling had already started when Zhu Qiyu started to put coal.

Yu Qian bowed his head full of emotion and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Has His Majesty's fishing skills improved?From Yu Qian's point of view, His Majesty is still as straightforward as ever.

His Majesty's scale sells for two thousand silver coins, which is not cheap.

But they still ate it.

Zhu Qiyu sighed and said: "In the past few days, Kagura Fairy Capital, I'm afraid they have been setting up water tables every day, because if they settle accounts, they will make a lot of money."

"They have no room for repentance. In fact, Wei Guogong told them that it is the last chance for them to repent."

"When I came to Nanya, I originally planned to use the imperial silver coins here, and then go to the West Lake to play for a few months."

"I also specially found the travel notes of the West Lake, intending to miss every place."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Shenle Xiandu, where these merchants would party all night long.

Zhu Qiyu's prediction was not bad. Hu Weiming, Wu Bingjian, and Chen Guangqi were indeed setting up a banquet, and some beggars nearby would give them a bowl of rice.

And Yue Qian, Ji Duo followed Hu Weiming and others to the coal yard beside the South Lake outside the Sanchuan Gate.

Yuan Bin went to follow Li Xian.

Two of the three of them still think that it is necessary for Li Xian to keep an eye on him. After all, the southern government office is not as good as the northern government office. Who knows if Li Xian will get used to extravagance and never return to his poor life?
His Majesty has a lot of trust in Li Xian. Once Li Xian does something wrong, isn't His Majesty not wise enough to know people?

Kill Li Xian before His Majesty's wisdom is gone and the person is unknown.

Your majesty's wisdom is preserved.

I have to say that although the logic of these three people is a bit strange, it is very logical.

Yue Qian and Ji Duo came to the coal yard beside the South Lake, dumbfounded.

More than 20 coal mountains about [-] feet high are piled up here!

Looking around, there are at least 2 million catties of coal here.

Some coal mountains are covered with thick snowflakes, while others are coal mountains that have just been piled up, and there are not many snowflakes falling on them.

Countless people are running around during this period.

When they followed, they never thought that they would see Coal Mountain.

Yue Qian said dully: "Your Majesty said that Nanjing is so rich and wants to grab his vote. This is really too much!"

Ji Duo patted the sluggish Yue Qian, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go and listen to what these three people are discussing."

Yue Qian and Ji Duo came to this South Lake Bieyuan, they moved around, escaped the inspections of several guards, and came around the study.Loud voices were heard.

Chen Guangqi was already panicking, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty let go of the night tonight, and the curfew was lifted, just to release coal! Brothers, today we will release about one million pounds of coal, more than 1000 million catties of coal!"

"Should we still eat? I've run out of money."

Hu Weiming smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Chen, let me ask you, do you believe that His Majesty has [-] million catties of coal?"

"Our Nanhu Coal Yard has nearly [-] million catties of coal. Your Majesty said that he has [-] catties. I don't believe it. Do you believe it?"

"Your Majesty is new here, where did you get so much coal? Where is it piled up? In the palace? Don't make trouble, that's the palace."

"Your Majesty sent coal into the imperial city, isn't it just to prevent people from seeing how much coal His Majesty has?"

Wu Bingjian said in agreement: "I know that Brother Chen is worried that there will be an endless stream of captive camps outside the Chaoyang Gate sending coal into the city, but I don't think His Majesty will have [-] million catties of coal."

"Brother Chen said that I have no money, but I also have no money."

Hu Weiming shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't have any money anymore, but it doesn't matter. We can go to the Yanyun Building to mortgage. Wei Guogong is indeed a Duke of the country, and he can actually put silver coins. It's not as hard as we are, and we have to run around to make money."

"If you sit on the Yanyun Tower, you can make money. Although you get a small profit, you can't bear the discount, [-]% off."

Wu Bingjian shook his head snortingly and said, "It's just a coward. When His Majesty entered Beijing, he started to demolish the Yanyun Building. He heard that the top floor had been demolished, so he could no longer see the inside of the palace."

"Today I said to go upstairs to see how much coal His Majesty has, but he finished dismantling it!"

"Coward, what kind of courage was it when it was built?"

Chen Guangqi said helplessly: "When the imperial city was uninhabited, he built it as soon as he built it. Now that His Majesty has come, if he doesn't demolish it again, won't the old and new scores be settled together?"

Chen Guangqi sighed and said, "Then let's go to the Yanyun Building to deposit our land deed?"

There is no money, but His Majesty is still putting out coal, and Chen Guangqi has already started to tremble, but the current situation is that he can only use limited money to maintain the coal price that has risen to mid-air.

Otherwise, the coal mountain behind them would have directly crushed them to death.

Hu Weiming thought for a long time and said: "I still have some money, but I also have to mortgage it, and I won't be able to eat it tomorrow. It is said that there are many people borrowing money from Yanyun Building. Let's go now."

"I'll put down half of my worth first."

Among them, Hu Weiming has the highest social status.

The three of them got up and headed towards the Yanyun Building. In order to release the coal, Zhu Qiyu lifted the curfew.

Yue Qian and Ji Duo heard that they were leaving, so they left the South Lake Bieyuan.

Yue Qian frowned and said, "Is your Majesty's bait not obvious enough? If it's a merchant in Beiya, shouldn't he be able to hide as far away as possible under the atmosphere of panic when the emperor moves, for fear of getting caught by His Majesty? "

Looking at the towering coal mountain behind him, Ji Duo sighed that His Majesty has made a fortune this time.

He said with a smile: "The bait is obvious. But the people in Nanya have no respect for His Majesty, they don't believe in His Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu's reputation is in the Beiya, which is accumulated one by one, one incident after another, and if he is beheaded, he will chop it up again after death.

When a man speaks, he spit and nails every time he speaks!

"That's why Yan Shenggong harms people." Ji Duo sighed.

Yue Qian asked full of doubts: "Oh, what should I say?"

Ji Duo all said with emotion: "Didn't Duke Yan say that? Fengyang Zhu is an upstart."

"They probably think so. They think that His Majesty is an upstart. Once he gains power, he won a few games by luck. When it comes to Nanya, don't they have the final say?"

Yue Qian and Ji Duo walked into the snowstorm.

Many merchants who were already red-eyed became crazy. They mortgaged the wealth they had accumulated for an unknown number of years at the price of [-]% or even [-]% in Yanyunlou, exchanged it for silver coins, and went to the coal market to exchange for a Scale after scale of coal piled up like a mountain.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the fluttering snowflakes in Nanya finally stopped. Although the winter sun was not warm, it broke through the dark clouds in the sky and shone on Miyagi.

Standing on the platform of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu looked at the rising warm sun and said with a smile: "It's sunny."

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Commander has entered the city."

"Today, at four renminbi per catty, start putting out coal, and let the commanding officer push the cart into the street."

Xing'an asked hesitantly, "What about Meishikou?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "One price, four cents per catty."

"They're not very good at it. I released 750 million weights, but it's just over 1000 million catties. When they eat 8000 million catties, they can't eat it anymore."

"They disappointed me so much."
