Wang Ping thought about it and the seven old men fell silent again.

  Seeing the silent appearance of the seven old men, Wang Ping became anxious and said, "Uncle Wang, you guys have something to say!"

  "I'm afraid I'll be disappointed"

  Li Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "In other states and counties, they can't get food."

  ""

  Wang Ping thought, and his voice trembled: "You don't have to repair books to other clansmen in other prefectures and counties in advance. He asked them to sell the grain to the imperial court at the market price of eight cents."

  The seven old men nodded silently.

  "It's bad, it's bad!"

  Wang Ping's face turned pale, he felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell to the ground.

  This is not exactly the same as what I thought. I originally wanted to bring the seven families to make a fortune, but I didn't expect the imperial court to take a step forward and take away all the old food from them. Wouldn't it be a waste of time! If only It was no use to make a trip, but I went to the Qin Wangfu first, and made a promise in front of the Supreme Emperor and the little emperor that the fields would have a good harvest next month.

  According to Wang Ping's idea, all the grains from the seven households will be transferred to Hedong Road, and all the surplus grains of the seven households will be enough to exceed the harvest in the fields in previous years. In this way, you, you, you can not only treat these grains as a good harvest. , report it to the court, and take this opportunity to make a fortune.

  But, something went wrong! You have a bumper harvest! How could the imperial court take his head away! Wang Ping trembled: "Uncle Wang, all uncles, you have to help the little nephew! The business that was supposed to make money has become a king. A knife on a certain head. Before Wang came, he went to the Qin Wangfu and made a promise to the Supreme Emperor and the Little Emperor that the fields in Hedong Road would have a good harvest this year. , I'm afraid Wang's head is about to fall to the ground!"

  Help, this gang! The seven old men looked at each other and saw the helplessness on each other's faces. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but that all the food was in the hands of the little emperor and the imperial court. On the contrary, there is really no old food left.

  Li Zhao asked in a deep voice, "Inspector Wang, has the news of Hedong Road spread out?"

  Wang Ping hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, Wang is very concerned about this matter, the main roads leading from Hedong Road to other prefectures and counties were all killed by Wang's government soldiers, even if he wanted to travel over mountains and rivers. You can't cross the shore!"

  Li Zhao took a deep breath: "There is a remedy for that."

  Wang Ping's eyes lit up: "How"

  Li Zhao stared and said, "Go to the West Market, turn right on the third road, and look for the third shop on the right. Maybe that shop can help you."

  Wang Ping said with hope in my words: "That store sells grain"

  "No"

  Li Zhao shook his head and said, "It sells coffins."

  ""

  Wang Ping was silent for a few seconds, then said with a sad face.

Chapter [-] Li Tai's big move, the Royal Grain Market! (The first update, please subscribe to the new book!)

  Under the gazes of everyone, Li Zhao stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Hedong Road is blocked, can it be blocked to keep people and locusts?"

  Wang Ping waved his hand and said: "That can, people can control locusts"

  Li Zhao smiled and said: "That's right, the plague of locusts will definitely break out. At that time, the whole world will face the plague of locusts, and Chang'an City will be no exception. It will take three days as soon as possible, and half a decade later, and the plague of locusts will inevitably come to Chang'an City."

  "The old man asks again, within half a ten-day period, can the Hedong Road be stabilized?"

  Wang Ping nodded quickly: "No problem!"

  Li Zhao let out a breath and said, "That's it, the old man's side is also cooperating with his six families, and it's not unplanned at first. When the locust plague comes, the world will be in chaos. At that time, who can control Hedong Road, no? Someone will know that the plague of locusts started from Hedong Road."

  "As long as you can receive enough food before the situation of Hedong Road is exposed, and then transport it to Hedong Road, then the locust plague will be over, but Hedong Road will still have a good harvest, and the court will definitely reward you for your good governance, and you will not be guilty. , but a great hero!"

  Wang Ping said excitedly: "Uncle Li has a plan"

  For Li Zhao, he was very relieved.

  Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the seven patriarchs of five surnames and seven families have not gathered together in Chang'an. They lived for nine years. During these nine years, the six patriarchs thought that they were the masters, and they would negotiate with each other in everything. With the hand, any crisis will be turned into a safe one.

  Li Zhao said brightly, "The plague of locusts has not yet begun, no, if the price of food is raised, the price of food is high, and the little emperor will be happy when he sees it. As long as we sell all the food in his hand, it will be our chance. !"

  "Come here, old man, talk to you in detail"

  When they saw Li Zhao beckoning, everyone rushed over, and when they heard the details, the audience nodded.

  ————————————In Chang’an City, Pingkangfang.

  The Lijia Grain Store suddenly put up a sign: "Today's grain price, [-] cents a bucket!"

  "Eighteen pennies"

  "The grain has risen!"

  When pedestrians saw the signboard, Qi Qi was stunned.

  When I saw it, the Lijia Grain Store put up another sign: "Today's grain harvest, [-] cents per bucket!"

  Pedestrians were short of breath.

  "This is the thing"

  "The price of harvesting grain and the price of selling grain are [-] cents!"

  "If something happens, food prices will go up"

  More and more pedestrians gathered around and whispered.

  Many people were confused, so he rushed to Qifang City to ask questions, and was surprised to find that the seven grain stores opened by Wuxing Qiwang all had the same sign.

  The price of food has risen! Some people are keen to sniff the opportunity to make a fortune. Today, it has risen to [-] cents, which is a full eight cents more than usual. Will it go up tomorrow? "Is this price going to keep going up?"

  "For food prices will rise"

  Someone couldn't help looking at the guy in the Lijia Grain Store and asked loudly.

  "I don't know, our owner said we want to receive grain, but we didn't say it specifically. Who knows what happened, maybe it's rich and self-willed."

  The guy in the grain store shrugged and said with a smile: "You rich family like this, isn't it common for you to do this kind of thing, and there are people who spend a lot of money in Qinglou, you, you, you, don't specify five surnames and seven Wangs. Is it a gamble or not, I don't know."

  "But it's not very obvious, like this, you are good." In another month, new grain will come out of the field. If you hold all the old grain in your hand, when the new grain comes out, the old grain cannot be reduced in price at that time. If you sell it again, Hebi will lose an unknown number of times.”

  Everyone's eyes lit up.

  It makes sense to say this, since the Tang Dynasty established the country, the country has been in peace for nine years, and whose family has not ordered surplus food.

  Although I don’t know what the five surnames and seven looks are doing, it’s obvious that you don’t have many opportunities like this. If the food price really falls back tomorrow, everyone’s guts will be blue if they miss today.” !"

  "also go!"

  "My family has seventy buckets of surplus grain, can you take it?"

  Seventy buckets, that's 840 jin. If you buy it, you can get [-] taels of money, which is not a small amount for ordinary people. Obviously, the pedestrians who say this are considered petty bourgeoisie.

  The grain store clerk laughed and said: "Don't look at who the grain is received, our boss said, no matter how much it is, as long as you are willing to sell it, we dare to collect it, and we will accept it!"

  "Okay, go get it!"

  That person was so happy that he was like you, you, you, you, and more and more after hearing the news, he ran frantically to his home to get food to sell.

  Although the reputation of Wuxing Qiwang has been damaged a few days ago, more people still believe in Wuxing Qiwang in their hearts, and they have not suffered from them in these years, nor have they doubted too much.

  ——————————— Qin Wangfu.

  "Good news!"

  Li Yuanji, who was out for a walk, ran over with a look of excitement, and he rubbed his hands together and said happily: "Your Majesty, I went to Pingkangfang just now, and I heard that all the squares in Chang'an City are harvesting grain, and the price of grain has risen to ten It's a fight!"

  Li Jiancheng, but Li Er raised his brows.

  "The rise in food prices, happy you, Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "For the common people, this is not a good thing!"

  Li Yuanji waved his hand quickly, with a look of patience, "Brother, and after I heard it, although the price of grain has risen, the price of harvested grain has also risen, and it is also [-] cents!"

  "this is dry"

  Li Jiancheng and Li Er looked at each other.

  Even they are very confused. In the past, the grains received were absolutely lower than the market price. For example, if you and Li Tai went to collect grains, the market price of ten cents a bucket, eight cents could get a bucket, I have never heard how much the market price is, and how much is the harvest price.

  Li Yuanji spread his hands and said, "Who knows, I heard that Ting is the five surnames and seven Wang, the patriarchs, and they don't know the tricks they are playing. If you say that Ting is high, you can only buy grain prices today, and the people of Chang'an have heard it. After that, they all went to sell food!"

  Saying that, Li Yuanji looked at Li Tai, who was sitting lazily on the stone bench, and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, we have millions of grains in our hands, if you sell them, then It’s doubled! It’s worth it if you bought it for a few million and sold it for tens of millions!”

  "What do you think you are"

  Li Tai rolled his eyes, but he understood, it seems that these seven patriarchs found out about the locusts, otherwise they would be able to drive up the price of food.

  After all, the price of food is so high, you, you, and you, who would buy it? It's not to sell food, but to buy food from the people! Li Tai clicked his tongue twice, and the locust plague is coming soon. , At this time, these seven household heads took the lead in collecting grain from the people. If the people were kept in the dark, they would not have been able to sell the grain.

  Once the five surnames and seven Wang received food from the common people at the price of [-] cents a bucket, and then resold it when the locust plague came, the price of food at that time was not only [-] cents, but [-] cents. A fight can do it.

  This is clearly competing for profit with the people! I don't even do this kind of wicked thing, how dare you do Li Tai's milk and piss you off: "Shen Lian, you go get a signboard and write the royal grain market on it, Then take people down the streets and alleys to pass on me and me, and the five surnames and seven Wang receive grain at the price of [-] cents, and you will get [-] cents a bucket in the royal grain market, and the price will go up!"

  "Here!"

  Shen Lian nodded and clasped his fists, turned and left.

  Listening to this, you, you, Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji were startled.

  Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know that the five surnames and seven Wang are doing something wrong. It's just a whim. It's necessary for the court to follow them to do this."

  Li Er nodded in agreement, and said solemnly: "In the past, the price of grain was only ten cents per fight. If your court charged you twenty cents, what price should you sell it at? The grain will be rotten in the hands of the imperial court! And next month, new grain will come out of the fields, if it is harvested, the imperial court will be laughed at!"

  Li Tai waved his hand, his face full of seriousness and said, "I've made up my mind, don't persuade me any more, listen to everything!"

  "Listen!"

  At this moment, there was a sound of anger.

  Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Li Yuan with a dark face and strode out.

  "Father"

  Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji hurriedly bowed.

  Li Tai, you said in surprise: "Grandpa Huang, I woke up"

  "Yuanji's voice is so loud, I can still sleep with me"

  Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji, then said with a stern face: "I have listened to your conversation just now, Qingque, I ordered to sell all the food I bought immediately!"

  Li Tai blinked: "For!"

  "Why, what a good time this is"

  Li Yuan looked at it and said solemnly: "At the beginning, I thought that I only bought a little grain, how could I want to buy millions of grains, and new grains will be produced in the fields next month, and these old grains are not completely rotten. in hand"

  "The five surnames and Qiwang intend to buy grain at a high price, and take this opportunity to sell the grain they bought. Not only will these grains not rot in the hands of the imperial court, but they can also make a lot of money, which is the best of both worlds. , I don't understand."
