In a granary in the east of the city, Chang Sun Chong, Fang Yiai, and Du He's Iron Triangle were watching the grain and drinking freely.
"Brother Du, we have stockpiled 100,000 kilograms of grain. The warehouse in Nuoda can't even hold it. Now we have no funds." Fang Yiai said after a drink.
"Brother Zhangsun, the five thousand guan from my Du family is my Du He's wealth and life. Don't your family only have a few thousand guan?"
Changsun Chong didn't pay a penny this time, he just sent someone out, which was not acceptable.
Changsun Chong said worriedly: "You two, it's not that I don't want to pay. Everyone is jealous of this free money, but my father is in charge of all my family's money and I won't be allowed to take a penny."
"You can go get a loan!" Fang Yiai rolled his eyes. He also borrowed five thousand guan, which he took from his mother without telling his father.
Changsun Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Loans require collateral. I am broke, so what kind of collateral can I use as collateral?"
"My eldest grandson Chong doesn't want the money he earned."
Du He snorted coldly in his heart, this money is risky, you can't do it if you don't want it.
He stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Changsun, with your status, it should be a problem to borrow several thousand guan. We will borrow money later, in the name of Changsun Mansion, and then the two of us will guarantee it for you."
Fang Yiai also nodded and said with a smile: "We will vouch for you."
"In that case, let's leave now."
Du He stood up and said: "Let's do it again tomorrow and take action immediately. I feel a little uneasy in my heart. It seems that something big has happened."
"Yes, my father has been very happy recently. It stands to reason that there is so much tension between the DPRK and China and food prices have skyrocketed. He still drinks two drinks every night when he comes home. This is not normal."
"My father is the same. He often murmurs that the wealthy family will be in bad luck this time."
"I asked him why, and he called me a fool and told me to stay at home and not go out and fool around."
Du He's heart skipped a beat when he heard what the two said.
Bad dish!
Damn it, is this a conspiracy between His Majesty and the DPRK?
But this can’t be done!
"Brother Du, what's wrong with you? You look so bad? How about... let's go to heaven and earth to have fun?"
There was a wry smile on Du He's lips. These two people were really idiots. They didn't tell him such important news.
He really has no source of information.
But the matter has been settled, and Changsun Chong must be roped in to find a way to survive.
"It's okay. After we make money, we can go to heaven and earth to have fun. Let's go borrow money tonight!"
Changsun Chong said very loyally: "As long as I can borrow money, I feel clear in my heart."
The three of them left the granary and went to the nearest place to borrow money.
Sure enough, after the two people guaranteed it, Changsun Chong just wrote an IOU and borrowed three thousand guan.
So the three of them went to have fun in heaven and on earth. As for hoarding food, naturally there were servants to handle it.
But the three of them arrived in heaven and earth, and learned from the girls that they had won a great victory in the northwest, killed one hundred thousand enemies, and that the King of Shu captured Fuyun Khan and captured countless supplies. BIquGe.biz
The three of them almost cried.
Especially Changsun Chong, damn it, why didn't he get the news earlier?
"Brother Du, hurry up and get my money back. I don't want to invest anymore. My father will beat me to death..."
Du He said indifferently: "Brother Zhangsun, it's too late..."
"I'm afraid it has been replaced by food now."
Fang Yiai was also secretly resentful in her heart and said quickly: "Brother Du, let's sell the grain immediately. Maybe there are still people who want it now. The great victory in the northwest. Even if I am stupid, I know that the price of grain will definitely fall..."
"Okay, you two, immediately use the power of the family to find a buyer, and we will sell it immediately for 150 Wen."
"Wait a minute, as long as you don't lose money, sell it!"
The two of them looked back at Du He, who was already sitting on the ground, with a pale face and blood stains on the corners of his mouth.
puff!
Du He couldn't hold back again and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was a conspiracy by the government to attack wealthy families, but he was always obsessed with it, accidentally stumbled into it, and got into the web of this conspiracy.
Fang Yiai and Changsun Chong were protected by their father, but he was not. His father was gone and the tea was cold.
Not to mention marrying the princess, if he doesn't die this time, it will be his father's blessing.
Du He and the three of them were like this, and all the families in Chang'an City who had hoarded food felt like they were mourning after receiving the news of the great victory in the northwest.
No one who can get a seat in Chang'an City is a fool. It's just that Li Shimin's big network is too clingy and tempting.
Tomorrow, a steady stream of food will enter Chang'an City. Some families who are waiting and watching will no longer be collecting food. And the wealthy families cannot eat so much food, so the price of food is bound to plummet.
Once food prices plummet, people will follow the trend, no one cares about food, and they will immediately sell their farmed grain at low prices.
This is an endless cycle with no solution.
Food prices will fall below the lowest level in history.
In the court, all the civil and military ministers were present, but no one could see the glory on their faces. For no other reason than that His Majesty had tricked them, and their family had eaten enough food.
The Northwest had been in a state of corruption before, but this sudden victory was unbelievable.
"Everyone, I have summoned you all tonight. I believe everyone knows this."
"Great victory in the northwest, killing 100,000 enemies, capturing Tuyuhun alive, and capturing countless cattle, sheep, and horses..."
"Someone has been driving up food prices recently, causing my people to have no food to eat. I am very angry. It's time to deal with it."
"I have mobilized three million catties of grain from Jiangnan. Yesterday I held a small court meeting. The three provinces jointly decided to mobilize five million catties of grain from Luoyang and enter Guanzhong."
"My lords, tomorrow...let's listen to the dragon's roar."
Several of the ministers broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads and were so frightened that they almost became incontinent.
Because they have hoarded food at home, this is all His Majesty's conspiracy. This time, all those who have hoarded food will go bankrupt.
"Hubu, after the grain arrives tomorrow, it will be sold at the price of twenty aragonite. One hundred and eight sales points will be set up in the city, one in each shop. People who buy can only buy two liters at a time."
"Anyone who purchases excessive amounts should be carefully checked to see if he is a spy for the enemy country."
Damn it, Your Majesty is going to make a big fuss!
"Your Majesty, I obey!"
"Auxiliary machine and Fang Aiqing are in charge of this matter from Chang'an City. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."
"yes……"
"Besides, I have one more thing to announce..."
Everyone looked at Li Shimin. Is there anything else to announce?
