Originally, Cao An didn't want to take care of this matter.
But who asked him to take this job?
If it fails, the little emperor will have to settle all the old and new debts later, why shouldn't I make him sick to death?
"Do you think I dare not?"
Cao An spat, stood up slowly, and walked past everyone: "Do you think I am so young that it is easy to fool me?"
No one spoke, but the atmosphere was a little cold.
"hehe!"
Cao An seemed oblivious, his eyes becoming colder: "How much grain was sold? How much was the deficit? How was the price in the contract determined? What did the people who bought the grain want? How many benefits did you get secretly... Come on, no Do you want to break up?!"
"that whoever!"
Cao An shouted outside the door: "Go to the Third Division! Bring all the account books of Changpingcang over the years! Damn it, tell me the rules, right? Come on, let's tell the rules!"
Uh-huh!
Everyone raised their heads and stared at Cao An.
But most of these eyes contained a guilty conscience, and they all felt a little thumped in their hearts.
No black account in the world is impeccable. As long as you dare to peel off the cocoon, you will definitely find the fault!
"Ah!"
Du Cun was also scared, but his face was torn. He could only bite the bullet and said, "How could you join the Third Division just when you asked? I have been a grain supervisor for seven years, how can I be afraid of investigation?"
"Okay, you can do it!"
Cao An kept nodding and sneered: "Then see if I can invite the Third Division!"
It seems that the two sides are about to go to war.
Everyone had their own expressions, and they were all weighing how to respond.
Yang Hua couldn't help it anymore, and stood up with a smile on his face: "Oh! What are you doing? They are all doing things for the court, just arguing a few words... Why has it become like this? Cao Si advises you to calm down, Lao Du Just this bad temper..."
After saying that, he looked at Du Cun with a cold expression and said displeasedly: "Old Du, what did you do? Cao Sijian is our superior now! Have you ever talked to a superior like this? Why don't you apologize to Cao Sijian quickly? You said you can't change your bad temper?"
Not to mention whether Cao An can mobilize the sealed account books of the Third Division...
Just saying this, can it stand up to investigation?
If Changping warehouse is investigated, should Guanghui warehouse be investigated?
What about other granaries?
If Cao An wasn't still here, Yang Hua would have wanted to slap Du Cun... It's okay for you to seek your own death, but don't trick us too!
Everyone also looked at Du Cun, which was self-evident.
Du Hua, have you thought about it carefully? If you really want Cao An to lift this lid, no matter what his fate is, we will definitely be in trouble!
After a little silence, Du Cun finally bowed his head.
He took two steps forward with a dark face, bowed to Cao An and said: "Cao Si, please forgive me. I offended you just now! I hope you will not remember the mistakes of others."
"That's right!"
Before Cao An could speak, Yang Hua said with a smile on his face: "We have to work together in the future. What can't we say properly? It's not good for anyone if we hurt the harmony."
hehe!
Cao An sneered in his heart.
This Yang Hua is really a talent, he knows how to deal with others and his methods are even more deadly.
On the surface, he was blaming Du Cun, but the meaning behind his words was also to remind himself...
Since you, Cao An, have accepted this errand, you will eventually have to hand it over! It doesn't matter if you messed with Du Cun, but you also messed with other people.
If everyone really wants to cause trouble, then who will listen to your orders?
Can this thing be done?
Besides, your job as Cao An is to 'control grain'. As for the internal affairs of the major granaries, do they have anything to do with you? You get angry with everyone you meet, so you're not afraid of making enemies?
"You're good."
Cao An stared at Yang Hua for a few times, then smiled and said: "I have no intention of making an enemy of anyone! As long as the job can be done well, I will not interfere in your affairs."
"Yes, I will definitely obey your orders!"
Yang Hua breathed a sigh of relief and smiled even more.
"But there are some things we must say first..."
here we go again!
Everyone's faces gradually became angry.
This guy named Cao is a fool!
I don't know how to handle things tactfully...
Can such a person be an official? This is exactly what a gangster does, and he doesn’t hesitate to do anything! No rules at all, just stick straight up.
"Nowadays, many grain merchants in the city are working secretly, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune from the national crisis!"
Cao An made it clear directly: "I don't care how many connections you have with these people, but right now... whoever dares to stumble, I will make him regret it!"
Why haven’t I finished last month’s list yet?
Isn't it obvious that he is waiting for the opportunity?
Cao An didn't care what they did, but he couldn't interfere with his work, otherwise even if Zhang Zhibai came, he would still be shameless!
…
Bianliang is very lively recently.
First came the Cuju competition, followed by rumors of food shortages.
The common people didn't even have time to rest, so they were confused by these trivial things, and then got involved in it in a daze.
Since major grain stores went out of business.
The topic of food shortage in Kyoto has been making a lot of noise, and many people have panicked. They have taken out their family savings and tried every means to hoard food, fearing that food prices will skyrocket in the next few days.
And this group of grain dealers obviously agreed upon this and are really greedy.
Some small grain stores have raised the original price of brown rice from 17 cents per liter to 19 cents per liter, and the price is still rising.
In front of a small grain store in the east of the city.
The waiter took a newly written price tag and casually inserted it into the bucket of rice.
"Twenty cents?!"
The people lining up behind were angry.
"Why? It was still nineteen cents just now! There's still a queue, and it's gone up?"
"When did Bianliang have brown rice worth twenty cents per liter? Is there really such a shortage of food this year? How can we survive?"
"Isn't the imperial court already arranging grain from various places? Why is it still raising prices? Profiteer! Are you planning to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune? I won't buy it!"
Many people were shouting and cursing, which aroused more and more people around.
Seeing this, the clerk at the grain store folded his arms and said with a smile: "Ha! Twenty cents is still a small amount! If I don't buy it, I'm afraid it will cost thirty cents tomorrow!"
The man who complained about the price increase said angrily: "You fart! This is Kyoto, under the emperor's feet! Can we still starve to death? I don't believe that the court doesn't care!"
"Okay, then just go back and wait."
The clerk didn't argue with him and sneered: "If you don't buy it, others will. Don't stand in the way of others."
"Someone wants twenty liters!"
The customer who had just queued up shouted loudly, then looked to the side and said, "Twenty cents is still too expensive? You don't know, the price at Yingchang Mansion has already risen to twenty-five cents! A certain person just came back from there, Nowadays, there are many products on the street that are priceless and hard to buy even if you have money..."
Then someone echoed.
"Yes, the imperial court has said that it will adjust the food supply, but who knows how long it will take?"
"It's always a good idea to buy more and save it! Besides, it only increased by three cents... What if it's thirty cents tomorrow? I'm afraid it will be really priceless by then!"
"Buy it, just think of it as buying peace of mind..."
