Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 76 The Arrangement of Wei Wang Li Tai

After Zhang Ji and others learned that Wei Wang Li Tai came to Luoyang, they suspected that the behind-the-scenes owner of the Wangjia rice grain grocery store was Wei Wang Li Tai. After they mistook Wang Pingan for Wei Wang Li Tai, they began to discuss countermeasures.

While discussing countermeasures, a major incident happened at Zhangji Rice Grain Store. Wei Wang Li Tai sent someone to Zhangji Rice Store to inquire about the increase in grain prices.

It is said that Wei Wang Li Tai lived in the Governor's Mansion these days, and sent people around to inquire about Wang Ping'an's affairs, which really allowed him to find out a lot of things, before crossing, and after he was picked up by Liu Tie from the Zhenyuan Security Bureau. .

On the day when Wang Ping'an crossed, a merchant ship from Jiangnan to Luoyang was hijacked by water thieves, and no one who wore it was spared. It happened that there was a family whose surname was Wang, who was from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan accent.

It was also found that Wang Ping'an is currently studying at Yunshan Academy and worships Li Yi as his teacher. A while ago, he also defeated the three major students of Qingyun Academy, showing his talents in poetry reciting, special painting style, and special songs.

In particular, Wang Ping'an's realistic sketch made Li Tai very amazed. The painting is almost exactly the same as a real person, and it is difficult to distinguish the human painting. For this reason, he made a special trip to Qingyun Academy. Now this sketch is in Li Tai's hands, and he intends to dedicate it to him Lao Tzu, that is, Emperor Li Er.

As for the songs, they also have a unique flavor. The song "Laughing in the Red Dust" has seen all kinds of things in the world, which makes people have endless aftertastes.

In the end, he also found out that profiteers such as Zhang Ji and others created an artificial food shortage and drove up food prices. This made Li Tai really angry and wanted to go to the court to punish them.

However, Li Tai was very surprised when Lu Songjun said that Wang Ping'an and Wang Shouren dealt with profiteers like Zhang Ji, and told Li Tai about Wang Ping'an's plan.

Wang Ping'an's layout was perfect. The first step was to let Wang Shouren hype that he had bought a lot of grain, forcing Zhang Ji and others to buy the grain in Wang Shouren's hands at an outrageously high price. The food I saw was only [-] shi, and the rest was illusory, and I don't know if there is any.

Then let the Wang family's father and son be at odds, and the husband and wife are at odds, and resell the shop, so that Wang Shouren can escape from this food shortage incident.

The third step was for Wang Pingan to buy all of Wang Shouren's stores and start selling ten cents a bucket. Although the quantity of purchases was limited, he announced that there were still [-] shi of grain coming soon, so as to reassure the people.

This third step is mainly to disturb the food prices of profiteers such as Zhang Ji, make them panic, and force them to follow their own down in food prices.

If Zhang Ji and others are still waiting and watching in the third step, then the [-] shi of grain in the fourth step is a reminder for profiteers such as Zhang Ji, and it doesn't matter if there are [-] shi of grain.

It's strange that the [-] shi grains are filled with fools, and only the last bag contains grains. As long as the last bag of grains is accidentally spilled, so that everyone can see the grains, then everyone will be misled in the end Because the one hundred thousand stones are food.

If the fourth part has not worked, it means that Zhang Ji and others really have a lot of spare money, and would rather let the new grain become old grain, and the grain will be even more worthless.

After the fourth step is effective, Wang Pingan will buy food in a big way. At that time, profiteers such as Zhang Ji will sell as much as they can when they see big customers. At that time, they will panic when they see food.

After Li Tai knew Wang Ping'an's strategy, he was immediately surprised and admired, and there was a faint sign of wanting to win him over in his heart, so he immediately helped him.

Li Tai ordered Nameless to take his token and a guard to Zhangji Rice Grain Store to ask why the price of grain was raised so much.

Zhang Ji's buddy thought it was ridiculous when he saw the token, but when the person came and reported his name, he was so frightened that he went to call his master.

There was a scene where Zhang Ji reprimanded the guy for being frizzy.

"Master, something happened, no, something happened in the shop, you should go and have a look." The clerk said in a panic.

"Brush~"

The four stood up at the same time, Zhang Ji grabbed the clothes on the buddy's chest, glared at him, and almost shouted, "Tell me, what happened?"

The man panicked when his boss looked at him with that cannibalistic look, and he stammered, "Wei, Wei Wang, Wei Wang's people, come, come, come to the shop, ask, ask Why did we raise food prices so much."

Zhang Ji threw the buddy aside, and said angrily: "It's useless, and you can't speak well, so get out of here, old man."

The man was most wronged and suffered an innocent disaster.

The four of them walked quickly to the rice store, and Luoyu said, "Look, it's really His Royal Highness King Wei who has come to Luoyang."

Yang Xin said: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, we have to solve these things as soon as possible, don't miss the benefits and cause trouble."

"..."

"..."

Zhao Wen and Zhang Ji didn't speak, they were all thinking about how to deal with this trouble, instead of nagging.

At the Zhangji Rice Grain Shop, Anonymous had already been waiting for the four of Zhangji for half a cup of tea. He got a little impatient and said, "Where are you, why haven't you come yet?"

"Come on, come on." Zhang Ji said out of breath.

Zhao Wen, Luo Yang and Yang Xin also arrived one after another.

"Who are you?" Wuming asked, frowning.

"My lord, the young one is the owner of Zhang Ji's rice and grain store, and these are the young ones' partners." Zhang Ji saluted.

"Well, it's good that you are the owner. The old man came here under the order of the king of Wei to ask why the price of grain in the Wangji rice grain grocery store is only ten yuan and a bucket, and why the grain price in your Zhangji rice grain store is so high. Outrageous." Anonymous directly entered the topic.

Under normal circumstances, as a businessman like Zhang Ji, he wouldn't even glance at him, and Zhang Ji was not qualified to talk to him.

"Returning to the adults, it is because the villain's rice warehouse was burned down, and there was not much rice left. To prevent the people from rushing to buy it, the price of grain was raised." Zhang Ji had already found an excuse for himself.

"It turns out that there is not much food, so how much food do you think you need to restore the price of food."

"This one……"

Zhang Ji looked distressed, and looked at Zhang Wen, Yang Xin, and Luo Yu on the left and right, hoping that one of them could give a specific number.

Sure enough, Zhang Ji was not disappointed. Zhao Wen took a step forward and said, "My lord, as long as there are 50 shi of grain, we can wait until the new grain comes to market."

"50 shi, that's okay. The king of Wei said that as long as the price of grain can be stabilized, regardless of what you have done before, if you need grain, the king of Wei will help you transport it. You just need to prepare the money. .”

"What, dare to ask my lord, how much money do we need to prepare?" Zhang Ji was relieved when he heard that the money was needed, and then asked.
