Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 639
Lingnan Guangzhou

Li You was leaning against a pool, Li Mingda jumped out from nowhere, and jumped on Li You's body, making Li You scream. Not far away, Di Renjie, Xiao Baoer and others giggled.

Hugging Li Mingda in his arms, Li You said speechlessly: "You are getting heavier now, this Feng Xing is too good at rectifying, if I feed you into a little fat woman when I go back, if the emperor thinks Without you, I'm finished."

"Ah, I'm not fat...!" Li Mingda angrily lay on Li You's body and hit Li You, then Li Mingda hugged Li You directly and asked: "Heng'er's birthday party is over, when will we Can we go explore the mountains?"

The so-called exploration of mountains is actually to find gold mines.

Li You patted Li Mingda and said with a smile: "I didn't say to take you to explore the mountains, and even if you want to explore the mountains, you have to wait for me to settle the matter in Guangzhou."

"Ah?" Li Mingda frowned and said, "Isn't the food shortage problem in Guangzhou Mansion already resolved? Now, several grain merchants have come. There is no shortage of rice."

Looking at Li Mingda, Li You laughed: "It is true that there is no shortage of rice, but the price of rice cannot be afforded by the people in Guangzhou, so I have to do some work to lower the price of these rice."

"Er fifth brother, you won't use coercive means, if so, you will probably offend the grain merchants and even all businessmen in the entire Lingnan."

Li Mingda's words hit the point.

"I know!" Li You also nodded with a certain expression on his face: "These grain merchants who came to Guangzhou Mansion have already eaten at Feng Mansion yesterday, and Feng An has given us eye drops.

These grain merchants will definitely not lower their prices. Rice can be stored for a long time. Feng Ang said yesterday that these grain merchants are not allowed to lower their prices. Where to ship it, and where to go back to it! "

"Feng An, this is an open confrontation with us." Li Mingda was indignant.

Li You chuckled: "Of course he will be against us, because we are on the territory of the Feng family at this time, of course he will not be very polite to us, but he takes himself too seriously, after all, this Lingnan is still big Tang's territory, against us like this, I will make him pay the price."

"Fifth brother, what are you going to do next?" Li Mingda looked at Li You and asked.

"It's easy, let's keep these grain merchants first." Li You chuckled.

"Fifth Brother, are you going to use strong methods?" Li Mingda looked at Li You in surprise.

Li You shook his head and smiled: "You don't need to use forceful means to stay, just watch it!" As he spoke, Li You stroked Li Mingda's beautiful hair.

In the afternoon of that day, an unbelievable order was issued. Lieutenants and thieves appeared around Guangzhou Mansion, so the roads around Guangzhou Mansion were directly blocked by the military, and everyone was only allowed to enter but not to leave.

A discerning eye can tell that Li You used a trick from a TV series. This TV series is very classic, it is Bright Sword. In "Bright Sword", at the end of the War of Resistance, Chu Yunfei sent a battalion to Dagu Town. Li Yunlong had a nail stuck in his eye.Of course, Li Datou didn't suffer from this loss, and he immediately retaliated. Two battalions sneaked into Dagu Town during the night and surrounded one of Chu Yunfei's battalions. I found that I was completely surrounded by Balu, and even the telephone line was cut off, and Balu was practicing around me.

For Chu Yunfei, this was a very difficult situation.There are only two options before him, either be tough to the end, send troops to reinforce, and continue to confront, which may lead to direct confrontation between the [-]th Regiment and the Eighth Route Independent Regiment, which are still cooperating in the anti-Japanese war, or just give up. Let the troops withdraw from Dagu Town.After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Yunfei still couldn't bear the charge of sabotaging the War of Resistance and instigating a civil war, so he took the initiative to retreat the troops, admitting that he had done something wrong, and Li Daoda took another victory in the contest with Chu Yunfei.

These grain merchants who have already arrived in Guangzhou are similar to Chu Yunfei's artillery battalion. If you come in, you don't want to go out. Li You blocked the road in the name of bureaucrats and bandits. You dare to fight against Li You at this time.

If you dare to leave, Li You has the right to arrest you, and even execute you for collaborating with the enemy. What can you do? As long as Li You prolongs the military blockade, these grains will become of Guangzhou.

This was the second move that Li You had thought of a long time ago, and more importantly, Li You had a third move. Right after Li You's military order was issued, the grain merchants in the Guangzhou mansion began to panic.

Many grain merchants gathered together. You must know that these grain merchants are all here to ask for money. They don't want to fight against Li You, and they care more about their own lives.

"Hey, it's over now, Guangzhou Mansion has been completely sealed off, we can't go out now, even if we want to go back...!" Sitting in a tavern, a grain merchant looked at the surrounding grain merchants and said speechlessly.

"This military order came too suddenly. I feel that there is something wrong here. This king of Qi, just like Feng Guogong said, is not a good person to deal with. Feng Guogong asked his own grain market to be closed, so he deliberately raised the price." The price of food has attracted us here, and I think our trip will be in vain this time."

"Grandma. Why, we are here to make money. Why are we running for nothing? The rice will not go bad anyway. We just insist on it. Feng Guogong said that if we can't sell it, we will cover the freight, but we won't lower the price. I think The people in his Guangzhou mansion can survive for a few days, if they don’t buy our rice, the people in their Guangzhou mansion will starve to death.”

A grain merchant vented his unhappiness.

"That's right, that's right, but now the king of Qi has sealed the road for us, and we can't go out. We have to pay for eating, drinking, and storing rice here. If there is no money, we These rice can only be sold cheaply."

"All of you can rest assured. Feng Guogong has already said that as long as we can keep the price of rice unchanged, he will pay for all our expenses in Guangzhou."

"True or not, did Feng Guogong say it himself?" A grain merchant immediately stood up and asked.

"It's true. Feng Guogong said it himself, and I heard it with my own ears, so there is nothing to worry about. We should eat and drink. Soon, those people in Guangzhou Mansion can't stand it anymore. They They will start to buy our high-priced rice, and we will definitely sell the rice we brought this time and make a fortune and go home."

At this time, after listening to the grain merchants, they also had some ideas in their hearts, and they showed smiling expressions together.

But this group of grain merchants would never have imagined that the big hole Li You had prepared for them was not over yet. Just when the group of grain merchants were eating and drinking with peace of mind, the next day, Guangzhou Fuzhong started to quietly sell them at a low price. Meter.

This parity rice is the price of rice in Guangzhou in the past. As soon as the parity rice came out, the people in the whole Guangzhou went to buy rice, and the amount of parity rice was so large that even one person in Guangzhou bought three days’ rations, and The rice in this cheap rice store is still piled up like a mountain.

Soon the grain merchants got the news, and they all rushed to the cheap rice store, watching a large amount of cheap rice being transported into the rice store, and then heard someone say that this blockade will last at least a few months.

In the past few months, no matter how much my rice can be stored, it will still be moldy or spoiled.

Then another rumor came out, saying that the cheap rice was from the Feng family, because the Feng family knew that King Qi's blockade would be for a long time. At that time, their own rice would definitely go bad, so they sold it in advance.

And this Feng family is very bad. When he sold his own rice, he deliberately asked someone to warn those grain merchants from afar not to sell rice, and asked them to sell it at ten times the price.

In this way, the people in Guangzhou will definitely buy the rice from Feng's family, and the rice from other grain merchants will not be sold, and will be moldy and spoiled in the Guangzhou government, leaving them with nothing to lose.

These rumors swept through the gathering place of these grain merchants like a storm, and soon these grain merchants gathered together again:
"I went to see it today. There is an endless supply of cheap rice for sale. It really looks like Feng's rice?" A grain merchant looked at the crowd very worriedly.

"No way, Feng Guogong will lie to us, you know we all listen to Feng Guogong's arrangement?"

"Stupid!" A grain merchant scolded: "We didn't listen to Feng Guogong at all. On the contrary, we disrupted Feng Guogong's plan. Our relationship with Feng Guogong is not as good as you think."

The words aroused people's dreams. At this time, the grain merchants realized that they and Feng Guogong were actually opposites. Problems have arisen, so will Feng An still regard people like himself as his own?

"By the way. Are you saying that King Qi released the rice to drive a wedge between us and Duke Feng?" A grain merchant looked at the others and asked.

"It's possible." After the grain merchant finished speaking, some other grain merchants immediately echoed him.

However, soon some grain merchants who knew the details got up and said: "This is impossible. In fact, according to the situation that our family has, the grain stored in Guangzhou Mansion has already been sold, and now there is not a grain of grain in the treasury of Guangzhou Mansion." , if it weren't for this, our family wouldn't have rushed here.

Therefore, these grains will definitely not be the treasury grains of King Qi and Guangzhou. "

"Ah!" After this man finished speaking, all the grain merchants present were slightly speechless, because it was already obvious that there was only one possibility for these grains, that is, all of them were released by the Feng family. Because the Feng family knew that it would take a long time to seal The road of time will affect one's own grain, so let oneself and others sell grain at a high price.

On the other hand, their Feng family secretly wanted to sell out their own grain. This is a dead friend who is not dead, and the eyes of all the grain merchants turned slightly red.

Just when the grain merchants' eyes were red, footsteps came from outside the door suddenly, and as soon as the door opened, a person was seen coming with an invitation card.
