Mingshi

Chapter 1121 Conspiracy
Hu Zongxian sent Yu Dayou to lead the army to escort the grain all the way to the south. At the same time, Luo Xin ordered Guancang to start selling grain at twice the price of last year.

There is no one in front of the big and small grain merchants, and the door is empty.The guys stood at the door with their hands clasped, discussing.

"The government has doubled the price of grain!"

"Yes! You really dare to surrender! Then our boss won't pay?"

"Excuse me! There are only 250 million shi of grain, and it is not only placed in Hangzhou, but also shipped to various places in the south. How much can each state get? 250 million shi, how long can it last? Wait until the 250 million shi of grain is sold out , isn’t it going to go up?”

At this time, a large number of people gathered in front of the gate of the official warehouse, and there was a long queue with excited smiles on their faces.Although the official storehouse only opened five outlets, and each person bought a limited amount, it still calmed down the flustered hearts of the people.

At this time, someone in the team suddenly raised a loud voice.

"Why is there a limit?"

"Yes, why is there a limit? Is there not much food?"

"I heard that the five major families sold 250 million shi of grain to the government this time. These grains were not only sold in our Hangzhou government, but also transported to other state capitals. This amount of grain is not enough to sell for a few days. In a few days, there will be no more grain to sell."

"Yeah, we want to buy more, don't limit it."

"We're going to buy more."

"Don't limit it!"

"Whoa..."

A row of soldiers rushed up, and they beat their heads and faces without any explanation at all.After the beating was over, a dozen or so people who took the lead in making a fuss were arrested and dragged away.He came to Luo Xin and knelt them down.

Luo Xin just sat on a chair next to the official warehouse, holding tea, his eyes swept over the line, so that everyone in the line felt Luo Xin's eyes swept over them like a knife, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Only then did they remember who Luo Xin was, he was the God of Death.He was not a Japanese pirate who committed suicide. When he first came to the southeast, he even killed officials and family members.Now why are there only five major families left, and one of them was killed by Luo Xin?
All of a sudden, there was no sound.

"How courageous!" Luo Xin said in a low voice: "How dare you send someone to disturb the government, go back and tell your master, if you dare to do something reckless again, I, Luo Xin, put down the words here, come here, and seize the family and destroy the family. Get out. !"

A dozen people ran away in a panic, and Luo Xin's face showed a murderous look.He knew that these people must have been sent by those grain merchants.It's just that now Daming has begun to be chaotic and needs stability.And there is no need to kill those people, as long as the grain from Lingnan arrives in a while, those grain merchants will not be able to persist.

They will see the grain ships covering the sky, and they will be afraid at that time.If the price is not lowered until the autumn harvest, the price of grain will return to the previous year's price, and they will lose money.Therefore, Luo Xin firmly believed that they could not bear the visual impact of the shattering grain ship, and if they could not hold on for a few days, the price would be the same as that of the official warehouse.With their participation in this way, the food shortage in the south will be basically solved.You can go north by yourself.

It was quiet in front of the whole official storehouse, everyone sneaked a quick glance at Luo Xin, and then honestly bought grain.However, my heart is uneasy.One by one secretly said:

"It can't be that there is only this little food, right?"

Besides, the dozen or so people ran all the way into the box of a restaurant, and there were grain merchants of all sizes sitting in the box.When he saw his servant was beaten black and swollen, he stood up in shock.

"what happened?"

"boom!"

The door was kicked open, and a group of Jinyi guards stood at the door, and then moved away to the sides. Liu Shouyou walked forward slowly, stood at the door, glanced at the grain merchants in the box like an eagle, and then stretched out his finger Pointed towards them.

"Puff... puff..."

As soon as their legs gave way, those grain merchants sat slumped on their chairs, with despair in their eyes, everyone in Daming knew about Jin Yiwei's vicious reputation.

However, Liu Shouyou put away his fingers at this moment, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.And those Jin Yiwei who followed him turned around and followed Liu Shouyou in unison.

There was silence in the room, and it took a quarter of an hour before the sluggish businessmen woke up.A businessman was waiting for his servant and asked hoarsely:
"What exactly happened?"

"master……"

The servant said the matter again, and the man said with trembling lips: "So, Mr. Luo already knows that we are making trouble?"

"Pfft..."

A businessman fell from his chair, and everyone in the room was pale.After a while, an old man said softly:

"Master Luo said that the next time something like this happens, he will ransack the family and exterminate the family?"

"Yes!" His servant said in a tearful tone.

"Huh..." The old man let out a breath and said, "So, nothing will happen this time."

"Huh..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.But then they became nervous again. With Luo Xin's murderous nature, even if they didn't ransack their family and exterminate their clan, it wouldn't just end, right?
"Are we...will we also lower the price of food?"

"Nonsense!" A middle-aged businessman said: "Our food is purchased at three times the price. We are different from the five major families. Their family has a lot of fields, so they grow a lot of food by themselves. Although They also paid three times the price at the beginning. But the average price of the grain grown by themselves is less than three times. Maybe only twice. But we are different. Most of the grain we hoard now is bought at three times the price Yes. If we sell at twice the price, we'll lose a third of our estate. I don't agree."

"I don't agree either. It's a big deal. After the grain in the official warehouse is sold out, we will still maintain ten times the price, and we won't raise the price."

"Yes, anyway, we won't provoke Luo Xin anymore, they will sell as much as he is willing to sell. We just wait."

"Yes, that's it."

These people are greedy and fearful at the same time, arguing endlessly for a while, without a unified opinion at all.And at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and it was not one, very hurried.

"boom!"

The box door was pushed open, and several servants ran in.

"Master, it's not good!"

The businessmen in the room suddenly collapsed on their chairs, and several even rolled to the ground.At this moment, the only thought that came to their minds was that Jin Yiwei came to arrest someone.

"My lord... food... food..."

"Food...what's the matter? Could it be... Luo Xin went to our house to grab food?" The merchants asked tremblingly.
