Chapter 357: Thunder Strike
It happened so suddenly that Yang Feng felt a little caught off guard.
In fact, Yang Feng never expected those grain merchants in the capital to strictly abide by the orders of the imperial court, in his opinion, these grain merchants would secretly disobey and even drag their feet, and even secretly increase the price, he would not be surprised, but he just gave the order, and the other party immediately raised the price of grain by two times.
Moreover, the consequence of this is that a very bad consequence has been formed, that is, all the grain stores in Beijing have tripled the price of grain after seeing that someone has taken the lead, which has also immediately led to chaos in the capital.
At this moment, Chen Tian, who got the news, also hurried over.
He hurriedly greeted Yang Feng and said in disbelief: "My lord, I just got the news from my humble position, I really didn't expect Cheng Guogong to be so unwise and openly go against the imperial court's edict, isn't he afraid that the imperial court will blame him?" ”
Yang Feng sneered: "It's not that he is not afraid of the court's blame, but he thinks that the law does not blame the public, and now that all the grain stores in the entire capital have raised prices, it is impossible for the court to arrest all the grain merchants, Zhu Chunchen saw this and raised the price unscrupulously!" ”
"This ......"
Chen Tian also looked embarrassed, if you want to say that it is not a big deal to catch a few grain merchants, but if you really want all the grain merchants in the capital to arrest it, it will be a big trouble, maybe the entire Beijing division will be shaken.
After Yang Feng finished speaking, he asked Chen Tian, "By the way, Lao Chen, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Uncle, you almost forgot if you didn't say it." Chen Tian said with a somewhat anxious expression: "Didn't you ask our grain stores in the capital not to increase their prices, and all of them sold grain at the previous price?" I found that many people bought a large amount of grain from us, and then sold it to others to make the difference. And the lowly also found that there are many people here who are sent by other grain stores to rush to buy, and the lowly job found out that this situation immediately ordered that each person can only buy five catties of grain per day, which brought down this trend, and now I am here to report this matter to you. ”
Yang Feng glanced at him approvingly: "You did a good job in this matter, Steward Yang has already reported to me just now, I was about to give me an order, I never thought that you had already done it first, this is very good." However, this is not a long-term strategy, we can't expect that our grain stores alone can suppress the grain prices in the capital, now you go back immediately to maintain the situation in the grain store, and Benbo will immediately attack to meet Your Majesty. ”
…………
In the palace, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Feng, who had just left the palace a few hours ago and was now back again, and sighed: "Yang Aiqing, do you really want to come this far?" ”
Yang Feng said with a calm face: "Your Majesty, if you don't do this, it's not enough to deter those petty people and illegal profiteers. And Weichen thought that this matter was not something that a mere Zhu Chunchen could get out, if it weren't for another large number of people secretly fueling the trouble, how could Zhu Chunchen alone make the matter so big, and those grain merchants also raised the price almost at the same time as if they had discussed it, this is too coincidental, right?
And if Weichen is not bad, if we can't suppress the matter as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the one million taels of silver we have worked hard to raise will have to be used as wedding clothes for others. Also, if things continue to deteriorate, Your Majesty's majesty and the face of Weichen will be gone, and the most terrible thing is that those Donglin Party will also take the opportunity to launch a series of actions, such as forcing Your Majesty and Weichen to hand over the Ming Royal Commercial Bank, and then hand over the Beijing camp to the Ministry of War for unified management, has Your Majesty thought about that kind of consequence? ”
"Hiss......"
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but gasp, if it was really like what Yang Feng said, if he lost the dividends of millions of taels of silver distributed to him by the elite soldiers who had just arrived and the Ming Royal Commercial Bank, what was the difference between him, the emperor, and a puppet?
"No...... This must not be allowed to happen! ”
Zhu Youxiao's hands were unconsciously clasped together, and his eyes became sharp. The emperor is the emperor, and even if his character is generous, he will not tolerate someone snooping on the power in his hands.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned to Yang Feng and said, "Aiqing, even if you let it go, what are the consequences, I will make the decision for you!" ”
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had finally made up his mind, Yang Feng's original heart finally let go, and he stood up and said loudly: "The minister's decree!" ”
After speaking, Yang Feng stood up and bowed to Zhu Youxiao, and then took a few steps back, then turned around and strode out.
Looking at Yang Feng's figure disappearing at the door, he muttered, "Yang Aiqing, you must not let me down......"
After Yang Feng left the palace, he took dozens of family members and rode on the street on a war horse, and after half an hour, he found Lu Xiangsheng, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, who were commanding the soldiers of the Beijing camp to maintain order on the street, and his first words were, "The Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion, and the 5th Army Battalion each sent 1,000 soldiers and horses to the governor, immediately!" ”
Looking at Yang Feng's cold expression, Lu Xiangsheng and the others were shocked, and it could be seen from their claims that Yang Feng was talking to them as the governor of Jingying Rongzheng.
Hu Dawei hurriedly asked, "My lord, dare to ask what happened?" ”
Yang Feng did not hide it from them, and told them what had happened, and then said: "Now there are people in the capital who are wantonly raising the price of grain, so it is the time when people are panicking, you must maintain order in the capital, otherwise once the capital is in chaos, those people will take the opportunity to attack Your Majesty, and then I am afraid it will not be a matter of punishing a few people or dismissing officials, and at that time I am afraid that there will be a big chaos in the capital." ”
Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei may still be reminiscing, but Lu Xiangsheng's brain was much faster than their reaction, and his face changed immediately after hearing this. Others don't know, doesn't he know, the driving force behind the complete loss of control of grain prices in the capital is the Donglin Party and the nobles of the DPRK, once Zhu Youxiao is completely disappointed in them, and Yang Feng, a guy who kills people without blinking, is fueling the flames, I am afraid that the capital will be full of blood! It was an absolute disaster back then.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth: "Uncle, let the lower officials handle this matter, and the lower officials will guarantee that it will be handled properly." ”
Yang Feng looked at Lu Xiangsheng meaningfully: "Jiandou, this matter is not something that you can bear as a small commander of the Shenji Battalion, you should take the soldiers to maintain order." ”
Watching Yang Feng leave with 3,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp, Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he cheer up and continue to do things.
In the Chengguo Mansion, Zhu Chunchen was sitting in the living room, listening to the housekeeper in the mansion report to him on the business of his own grain stores, and laughed happily.
"Good...... It's a good mention, these grain stores in the capital have raised their prices, I want to see who Yang Feng Xiao'er goes to settle accounts, is it possible that he has also sealed all the grain stores in the capital, as long as the grain prices in the capital have soared, I'm afraid that his position as Jiang Ningbo will not be stable. ”
Looking at Zhu Chunchen's happy appearance, the housekeeper reminded: "Grandpa, although this is the case, if Yang Feng turns around, he will know that it is our leader, and with his temperament of retribution, I am afraid that he will be the first to take revenge on us." ”
"Afraid of what? The title of this duke was sealed by Emperor Chengzu, no matter how great his ability Yang Feng is, can he still exempt this duke from the title? ”
Seeing Zhu Chunchen's complacent appearance, the housekeeper still wanted to persuade him, but before he could speak, a steward from the outer courtyard hurriedly ran in and said urgently: "Grandpa, something is wrong!" ”
"Bastard!"
Seeing the panicked appearance of the steward, before Zhu Chunchen could speak, the butler shouted in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about? Wang Gui, you are also an old man in the Guogong Mansion, don't you even understand the rules? ”
"It's not...... Grandpa, something really happened, all our grain stores were seized, and the shopkeeper He and the guys in charge of the grain store were all arrested! ”
"What...... Who is so bold? ”
Before the housekeeper could speak, Zhu Chunchen on the side jumped up, and the Chengguo Mansion had a total of thirteen grain stores in the capital. Fifty percent of the annual revenue of the Guogong Mansion is provided by the grain bank, and once the grain bank is seized, the blow to the Guogong government will be catastrophic.
"Come on, take out my father's armor and weapons immediately, my father is going to fight with him!"
At this time, Zhu Chunchen's face was flushed, and a terrifying look shot appeared in his eyes, all the grain stores were seized, this is simply digging the root of the Chengguo Mansion, without the business of the grain store, what do thousands of people in the whole mansion eat and drink? What does he use to feed his more than 200 family members?
Well, although the Chengguo Mansion still has a grange and some other businesses, it will not let Zhu Chunchen's family drink the northwest wind, but it is absolutely impossible to live a luxurious life as before, which is more uncomfortable for Zhu Chunchen than killing him.
Zhu Chunchen, who was furious, grabbed the butler's shirt and shouted: "Say...... Who did it? ”
The steward, who was almost out of breath, stammered, "Yes...... Jiang Ningbo did it, and he personally took the people from Jingying to put ...... He sealed all our grain stores, and he confiscated all our grain. ”
Yang Feng ...... I'm at odds with you! ”
Zhu Chunchen clasped his hands tightly, his eyes also became red, he knew that Yang Feng would not give up after disobeying the imperial court and orders and raising the price of grain without authorization, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Feng's revenge would come so violently and violently, and as soon as he made a move, he directly sealed all his granaries.
Looking at Zhu Chunchen's angry appearance, his old housekeeper and steward all looked at each other, with a look of panic in their eyes, they were really afraid that Zhu Chunchen would personally take the family to settle accounts with Yang Feng in anger. Now Yang Feng is notorious, although his father-in-law is a national prince, and the title is much higher than Yang Feng, but it is still a natural egg, in this level of competition, the title is nothing at all, strength is the most important thing.
However, it is obvious that they overestimated their grandfather, and after the anger, Zhu Chunchen quickly regained his former sanity, he sighed and said to the housekeeper: "That's it, you don't need to take the armor, bring the python robe of your father, and the palace will also enter the palace to ask to see Your Majesty." ”
"Yes......"
The relieved housekeeper just wanted to turn around, but unexpectedly, another rush of footsteps sounded, and a housekeeper stumbled in and said loudly: "Grandpa...... The big thing is not good, Jiang Ningbo took the soldiers and horses...... Surrounded our Mansion, and now they are banging on our gates! ”
"Boom ......"
I heard a muffled noise, and the gate of the Guogong Mansion, which was made of fine hardwood and was still intact for hundreds of years, collapsed with a bang, raising a puff of dust and smoke.
After the dust and smoke cleared, a team of soldiers in iron armor let out a burst of screams and rushed into the Chengguo Mansion, and the family members of the Chengguo Mansion, who had always been arrogant, looked at each other with knives, guns and sticks, and did not know whether to rush up to fight with these soldiers or abandon their weapons and surrender, after all, they had never encountered such an exciting thing, in the past, only they bullied people, how could they have been beaten to the door like this?
Yang Feng slowly walked into this splendid decoration of the Guogong Mansion under the support of dozens of family members, he looked at the dozens of family members who were staring at his Chengguo Mansion with various weapons in hand and sneered: "I am Jiang Ningbo Yang Feng, if you don't want to die, you will all surrender to Benbo." Otherwise, don't blame Benber for not giving you a chance to live, now you can choose for yourself! ”
At this moment, hundreds of soldiers from the Beijing camp who followed Yang Feng also shouted in unison: "Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not be killed!" ”
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The neat and solemn shouts greatly shocked the people of the Chengguo Mansion, these family members who only follow behind their own masters on weekdays to show off their might and bully the people, where are the opponents of these strictly trained soldiers in the Beijing camp, everyone was a little stunned when they were shouted, and some timid people even took off the weapons in their hands.
I'm only going to give you ten breaths, but Ben Bo is going to be ugly, and he'll kill him when the time passes.
"Ten...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven ......"
"When the ......"
Yang Feng's countdown didn't take long, and soon he couldn't hold on and threw away the weapon in his hand and knelt on the ground, followed by more and more people kneeling on the ground......
Yang Feng ...... Don't deceive too much! ”
Then...... An angry voice came, and it turned out that Zhu Chunchen hurriedly ran over with a few people.
I saw him come to Yang Feng's face, his face flushed, and he shouted loudly: "Yang Feng, who gave you the courage to lead troops to surround the Chengguo Mansion?" Do you know that this is a big crime comparable to rebellion, and my father wants to join you ruthlessly in front of the emperor! ”
"Join me?"
Yang Feng showed a sneer on his face, and he suddenly threw a punch and hit Zhu Chunchen hard in the stomach.
"Bang"
Hearing only a muffled sound, Zhu Chunchen's eyes widened, and his face showed a look of pain, disbelief and surprise, and the whole person involuntarily knelt in front of Yang Feng.
Then he only heard Yang Feng's voice ringing in his ears: "Come on, tie up Zhu Chunchen and press him into the prison......" If you are looking for this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the website:.
