The Regent's Agent Mengfei

Chapter 420
The lineage of the old Duke has been modified so that it cannot become a climate. Even if there are still some individuals, most of them will not be able to become any climate. Yu Linghua’s last imperial decree exiled them all to the frontier. Everyone said , This is the emperor's warning to the prince in disguise, but Yu Wujiang is still the same as usual, the only difference is that he has recently grown flowers in the mansion, is it a mess, but he doesn't like to ask about the affairs of the court, Even if the emperor entrusted many things to Ji Yin and Yu Wuxian, he didn't care about it, and the ministers said he was trying to avoid suspicion.

The Duke's Mansion is in the imperial capital. Apart from being an important minister, it is also well-managed in business. Their family has declined, but it is cheaper for Fengyue. Before, her influence in West Qin was not very enough, but now It has reached the point of a monopoly. Taking advantage of the decline of the Duke's Mansion, most of these shops were scattered and bought by Fengyue, and finally merged into the property of the world's No. [-] village.

She has always done these things in a low-key and secret way. By the time Yu Linghua noticed it, it was already too late. The entire Western Qin Dynasty, the last economic city not occupied by the No. [-] village in the world, had finally fallen. His economic lifeline was completely handed over to an outsider.

The arrival of this day is also the end of Yu Linghua, the leader of the Western Qin Dynasty. Before all the conflicts intensified, Fengyue chose the most obvious method to put pressure on Yu Linghua, which is the most smokeless war, which we commonly call economic sanctions.

She didn't do anything to directly cut off the money. She quietly divided the time of more than 100 rice shops in the imperial capital, and slowly withdrew from people's realization. At the end of the last dozen or so, she unified the food on the market. The price is twice as high as that sold by the Royal Granary.

The rice quality of the No. [-] village in the world is much better than that of the royal granary. Therefore, the price is so much higher. For the rich, there is no difference. But for ordinary people, Food and clothing is the most important problem to be solved, they will not care about those quality problems.

The rice shops that are partial to the low-end consumer group were all closed by Fengyue. They had no choice but to run the royal granary. Under the banner of state management, they could trust this word of mouth, so their business was mediocre in the past. Suddenly, the place was full of people, even to the point where the officials panicked.

The rice in the royal granary is originally sold by the surplus rice that is handed over every year. In the past, there were so many rice shops in the imperial capital, and the competition was fierce. There will not be many people buying it. In the first few days Well, the folks at the rice shop were happy for a while, but after a few days, they realized something was wrong. After more than half a month passed, the officials in charge of the royal granary felt a severe headache.

The price of rice is not easy to rise, but there are too many people who want rice, which has exceeded the capacity of the load. In the end, he had no choice but to report it to the emperor.

"In the end, what's going on, why is there only the royal rice shop left in the entire imperial capital, and where have the other rice shops gone?"

Yu Linghua was obviously a little furious. If things go on like this, sooner or later the reserved imperial rations will be used, which are for the army and for emergencies!
"My Majesty, these rice shops have now been purchased by people, and then they were artificially closed. Now the prices of the remaining rice shops are much higher than ours."

"Wouldn't it be better to let them lower the price?" Yuling threw the booklet in his hand at the official kneeling on the ground in a rage, and he was almost fainted by the question he reported. The level of this person's work really made him see it.

If something goes wrong, if you don't report it earlier, you must wait until the outbreak is on the verge of breaking out. What's the use of having such an official, it's better to abolish it.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid." The minister bowed deeply, "But I'm afraid it won't work. These shops are all in the hands of the No. [-] Manor in the World. Moreover, the No. [-] Manor in the World belongs to Beiyou. Ordinarily, in time, it is in the west of us. Qin, there is no way to control the merchants in Beiyou, how to do business is their own business."

There was already a lot of sweat on his forehead, the official was terrified by the emperor's anger, but he remembered that when he went to those shops at that time, what the shopkeepers said was justified, and they also said that if there was a way You can refute their words, go back and look up the laws of Xiqin, if you can't find them, they will continue to do things like this.

Although it is said that the law of Xiqin did not say that it is not allowed, but it also did not say that it is possible. One or two sentences, what is it?
"No. [-] manor in the world, No. [-] manor in the world, and this No. [-] manor in the world!" Yuling gritted her teeth in a stern manner. Last time, if it wasn't for Fengyue's medicine, they wouldn't know where to throw it if they were ashamed. Well, it was so easy for him to think that the No. [-] village in the world had disappeared, but he didn't expect that, unexpectedly, without knowing it, someone's sudden attack made you hard to defend against, and you didn't have the strength to fight back.

He glanced fiercely at the official kneeling in front of him, looked at the submissive, and knew that there was nothing big to do for you, he turned his eyes to Yu Wujiang standing there, "Prince, do you think this matter should be done?" how?"

"Father, my son thought that these rice shops were run by the Duke's mansion, and they suddenly became the number one farm in the world. My son should avoid suspicion."

Yu Wujiang replied lukewarmly, with some self-deprecating and tone of voice, which made Yu Linghua feel very uncomfortable. Isn't this just to make it clear and then reject him? Could it be that the matter of poisoning Qionghua He already knew, otherwise why have he been so careless recently?
Suspicious eyes looked at Yu Wujiang again and again, Yu Linghua really couldn't see anything wrong, he was still the same as usual, there was nothing wrong, Yu Linghua thought about it, and let go of the pain in his heart. Doubt, after all, he is still very confident in the secret medicine of the Western Qin Dynasty, no one can find it out, and it was used on the noble concubine before, didn't there be any forks?

He thought about this in his heart and felt relieved, but what he didn't know was that Fengyue had already untied it. When the imperial concubine was still in Dongchen Palace, there was Yu Linghua's father-in-law inside. It was discovered that she used other medicines to replace the Xiqin secret medicine, so that the noble concubine looked the same as before.

On the contrary, this father-in-law surprised Fengyue. If Ji Yin hadn't mentioned it, she would have thought that he was always from the imperial concubine's side.

"Since this is the case..." Yu Linghua looked at Ji Yin, but he knew that Ji Yin didn't like him, and he didn't even buy it. After he married Feng Yue last time, although Ji Yin and him The situation between them eased up quite a bit, but he still had the feeling of being indifferent to him, he turned his head knowingly, and caught a glimpse of Yu Wuxie from the corner of his eye.
