When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Li Jin took the lead in raising food prices, he was furious. Then he thought of Zhu Biao, and Zhu Yuanzhang said again:
"Where is the prince? Didn't our Biao'er stop Li Jin?"
"This bitch will do anything to get money."
"Our Biao'er definitely doesn't know about this, otherwise he would have stopped it long ago."
"His Royal Highness, he...he..."
Mao Xiang looked troubled and hesitated to speak.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mao Xiang like this, he had a bad premonition in his heart and shouted loudly:
"Tell me, what's wrong with the prince?"
Mao Xiang then cautiously said:
"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, His Royal Highness is extremely supportive of Li Jin raising food prices."
"For this reason, he even personally lobbied at various grain stores in the city. In the end, due to His Highness's lobbying, the price was a little higher than what Li Jin originally stipulated."
After listening to Jiang Wei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused, completely confused.
Why does this happen?
He was such a kind person, but he had only been with Li Jin for a few days, and he was so polluted by Li Jin?
As expected, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and immediately gave an order to Mao Xiang:
"Mao Xiang, take people immediately to capture Li Jin and the prince."
"If a lot of people die in Hepu County, just throw that bastard Li Jin into the sea and feed it to the fish. We never want to see him again."
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. The good seedlings he had finally cultivated were directly ruined by Li Jin in just a few days.
Zhu Biao also said that he should learn from Li Jin on how to govern the people?
Why did I get so confused in the first place that I agreed with Zhu Biao to go?
Knowing what kind of bastard Li Jin is, and still letting Zhu Biao pass, isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Zhu Yuanzhang now feels extremely regretful, but more importantly, he is angry. The anger makes Zhu Yuanzhang somewhat irrational, and his eyes are filled with murderous intent.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Mao Xiang did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly exited the study room, and then arranged for people to go to Hepu, Guangdong to arrest Li Jin.
...
And here in Hepu County.
After Li Jin explained his strategic intentions to Zhu Biao, he left everything to Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Biao understood Li Jin's true intention, he was indeed very motivated and did not need Li Jin's guidance at all to get things done beautifully.
Now all the people in Hepu County know that the price of food has begun to rise.
They rushed to buy grain. Fortunately, the grain merchants did not sell even a grain of rice.
Because Li Jin had spoken first, no one was allowed to sell rice before he spoke, otherwise they would have to look good.
Since ancient times, businessmen have not fought with officials.
During this period, the only thing the grain merchants did was to continuously mobilize grain from all directions and come to Hepu County.
Now that they finally have an opportunity to make a fortune, how could they not seize it?
Besides, with the Qinzhou magistrate taking care of everything, anyone who doesn’t make a fortune at this time would be a fool.
Grain ships one by one were transported to Hepu County by sea or Yongjiang River.
The price of grain also rose steadily under Li Jin's promotion, and finally climbed to two taels of silver and one stone, a full four times increase.
The people are desperate. If they buy food at this price, their family will have to go bankrupt if they want to survive.
Perhaps most of the property of the people in the county will go into Li Jin's pocket after this time.
Because everyone has seen the grain in the county government, cart after cart being pulled in, no one knows how much grain is in the county government now.
Everyone only knew that the prefect Li Jin was going to make a fortune.
Rich merchants, landowners and grain merchants all over the city were waiting for Li Jin's order.
As long as Li Jin gives the order, these people plan to start selling food and plunder the wealth of the people in the city.
However, just when everyone was rejoicing, Li Jin's next order made them all stunned.
