"Chief Changsun" lowered his hands with a respectful and kind smile on his face.
"There's no rush, Mr. Wang said, the heat hasn't come yet - Your Highness, why don't you go to the car to warm yourself up first? I can just watch here."
The heat is not yet up?
Then just wait!
This princess is a person who has a calm mind and can achieve great things!
Princess Changle didn't hesitate and quickly pulled Cheng Ying'er into the car to drink hot tea and snacks.
…
Coincidentally, the scene that happened in front of Dongsheng Grain Store was happening in front of almost every large grain store.
At first, everyone was just wondering why so many ragged food buyers suddenly appeared. But when everyone saw those people lining up to pour the purchased food into the grain truck not far away. , I understood immediately.
Someone is taking action against these grain stores.
How brave.
There are a total of thirteen large-scale grain stores in Chang'an City, including four Guanzhong aristocratic families, seven Shandong aristocratic families, and two Jiangnan aristocratic families. The rest are either small fish and shrimp, or branches of these thirteen stores.
Except for the grain stores with Jiangnan aristocratic family background, almost all the grain stores with Guanzhong aristocratic family background and Shandong aristocratic family background were recruited.
Where did this fierce man come from? Is this a plan to wipe out all the noble families?
This was done too blatantly, even with a bit of fanfare, lest others not know about it. There was no way to hide it from anyone, not to mention the sharp-minded dignitaries, even ordinary people from small families could see that something was wrong.
By the second half of the day, unless the family was really going to run out of food, almost no ordinary people would dare to participate in buying food anymore.
A thought flashed through many people's minds at the same time.
Something big is going to happen in Chang'an City!
I couldn't help but investigate the matter, and soon the entire incident was uncovered.
The cause was the sensational recruitment incident in Chang'an City a few days ago. The girl from the Cheng family recruited 60,000 to 70,000 refugees in one go, putting this yet-to-be-named business firm in the spotlight.
Even some censors were worried and complained. Is it a joke to gather so many refugees in Chang'an City?
Want to rebel?
Even if there is no rebellion, it is still a big hidden danger of instability.
However, when the paper was handed over, it went into the mud and into the sea, without any movement.
Only then did everyone realize that the actual situation was not simple.
Then everyone discovered that behind this business were Princess Changle, Kong Yingda and the girl from Cheng Yaojin’s family!
This combination is very intriguing.
Soon everyone found out that almost everyone from Wagang Village had some shares, including some old Wagang people who were orphans and widowed. There are too many people involved in this matter? It’s so easy to investigate.
And the business that the trading company wanted to do turned out to be coal!
Someone had found a way to remove the smoke poison from coal, and the news was quickly confirmed. The commotion at Niutou Ridge and Huangtu Cliff in the east of the city cannot be hidden from anyone, but no one had thought about it before. What's more, the commotion at Cheng Yaojin's side was not small? The palace was not monolithic. Everyone always had their own opinions. message channel.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and an undercurrent suddenly surged in Chang'an City.
The benefits are too great? Who doesn’t want a share of the pie?
It's impossible to grab it head-on, but since the current emperor and Cheng Yaojin didn't end up personally, but introduced their daughter in a tacit understanding, then this matter would be easier to handle.
Didn’t you recruit 60,000 to 70,000 refugees?
If you have the ability, you can support it, but if you can't? When something happens? You still have to obediently stretch your head and take this knife?
Therefore, these grain stores with aristocratic backgrounds announced in a tacit understanding: Due to heavy snowfall and road closures, grain transportation difficulties, we had to reluctantly make a difficult decision - limit purchases? Limit purchases to one bucket per person? More than that will not be accepted.
This news naturally has no effect on high-ranking officials. Should they buy? Should they sell? It has little impact on ordinary people. They just go out twice to buy food.
But the impact on Princess Changle and the others was huge. Sixty or seventy thousand people, even if they just ate porridge? The amount of food consumed every day was not a small amount.
When everyone thought that this trading company would soon surrender, they didn't expect that Princess Changle and the others would take action? And the method was very open, just coming to the door with open fire and riding on the face.
Don’t you have a purchase limit per person?
The most important thing I don’t need is people!
This is a tough move.
This move was indeed a bit frightening, and it was quite possible to turn the table over. It was really beyond everyone's expectations.
…
Cui Mansion.
"It's really too much of a lie. It doesn't take our Cui family seriously at all! Aye, I took people to lift their carriage and see what they can do to our Cui family?"
After hearing the servant's report, Cui Ming, the third son of the Cui family, stood up with anger and wanted to take people out immediately.
"return--"
Cui Hong, the head of the Cui family, frowned and shouted to stop his impatient son.
"Don't forget, who is behind them? It's the current emperor, it's the bandits on Wagang Mountain who overturned their carriage, how to overturn it - maybe they are waiting for you to overturn it, when the time comes, take action It’s us.”
Cui Hong shook his head and looked at the dissatisfied third son and gave instructions.
"This is a conspiracy - how many times have I told you not to be impatient and impulsive when things happen to you? If it always happens like this, how can you take on a big responsibility?"
"Is that the end of it?"
Cui Ming's face was filled with frustration.
It's no wonder that he was so angry, because this grain store was the touchstone that the family had just given him. Unexpectedly, less than half a year after taking over, this kind of thing would happen to me.
"Aren't they conspiring? Aren't there a lot of people? Then just let them buy..."
Cui Hong picked up the tea cup, drooped his eyelids, and spoke slowly.
"There is no reason why we should not do the business that is delivered to our door. Let us inform the people below that our food is also in short supply - the price has increased..."
When Cui Ming heard this, his eyes lit up and he sighed in admiration.
"My father is still smart! Aren't they rich? Then come here! I just want to take this opportunity to make a fortune and let the elders in the group see how powerful I, Cui Ming, am!"
Looking at his son's back as he hurried away, Cui Hong couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Who is the enemy behind this?
The current Emperor?
No, this method is too rough and not like that person's style.
Kong Yingda?
That old master is too pedantic to think of such an idea.
Could it be Cheng Yaojin?
This style is somewhat similar, but when did that old man become so smart?
But no matter how many strategies you have, you still have to drink my foot-washing water.
Cui Hong blew the steaming tea soup with a leisurely expression, showing a disdainful smile.
Let’s see how long you can last?
