Su Jin waved his hand and ordered the little pillar to exit the hall, and Lang Shaodong hesitated for a moment and ordered his subordinates to leave.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Lang Shaodong, you are an understanding person, although you don't know much about me Su Jin, but you know not only about me as a grain envoy, but also about what I did in Yangzhou, and the things on Bagong Mountain in Shouzhou, I think you also know something." ”

Lang Shaodong said: "I have heard of the bandits in Bagong Mountain, but I haven't heard of anything in Yangzhou. ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "No wonder, you must have been bedridden for a twenty days after being beaten by Zhu Shiyong, and it is normal that you haven't heard about Yangzhou, but President Tang of the Chamber of Commerce didn't mention it to you, which surprised me." ”

Lang Shaodong's face turned red, and he scolded in his heart: This guy always doesn't forget to mention that he was spanked, and the more Lao Tzu tries to cover it up, the more he reveals Lao Tzu's scars.

"It's all a bunch of bastards who cross the river and tear down the bridge, using people and birds to face forward instead of birds facing backwards, and it's not uncommon for Lao Tzu to have a heart-to-heart relationship with me."

Su Jin pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? Are the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce actually such a character? ”

Lang Shaodong said lightly: "You don't have to be so enthusiastic, I scold them for my business, but what you want to achieve through me is not to think." ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Where did Lang Shaodong go, let's not talk about the people of the Chamber of Commerce, since they didn't tell you about my methods in Yangzhou, I will tell you how it is?" ”

Lang Shaodong said: "It's indispensable, you can say it if you like to say it, but no matter how much credit you have, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Su Jindao: "Actually, I don't have much credit, in fact, I didn't do anything in Yangzhou, which can be summed up in nine words." ”

Lang Shaodong was noncommittal, and he seemed to be uninterested in playing with the teacup in his hand; Su Jin understood that he was pretending to be relaxed, and it could be inferred from his pricked ears that Lang Shaodong still wanted to know what he had done.

Su Jin tried his best to narrate in a calm tone: "These nine words are: kill a batch, close a batch, and stream a batch." ”

Lang Shaodong's face changed, and he looked at Su Jin in surprise.

Su Jin's face turned cold, and his tone was as cold as the cold wind of a winter night: "Everyone thinks that this imperial court's edict to rectify grain affairs is just a gust of wind, and they all have a fluke mentality, and they can mix it up, but Lang Shaodong, you should understand that the court is really moving in this matter; As far as I know, the grain you hoarded was only more than 20,000 stones, and in the past, there were no 10,000 or 20,000 stone of grain hoarded in the merchant's warehouse, but this time, why did Zhu Shiyong tear his face and not only did not give you face, but also punished you for this? The reason for this is that he is well aware of the determination of the imperial court to deal with food affairs. ”

Lang Shaodong's mouth squirmed, as if he was muttering curses; Su Jindao: "Originally, you could be safe and sound if you sold the grain, but you were reluctant to make a huge profit of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan that these 20,000 stone grains were about to bring, you thought that with your relationship with the Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Shiyong would always give you a little thin noodles, but you didn't expect him to turn his face and deny people; It is a trivial matter that the grain is forcibly confiscated, and the most depressed thing in your heart is that Zhu Shiyong will not give you face. ”

Lang Shaodong snorted and said, "You guessed wrong, I don't have the kind of idea you said, and you don't have to speculate on my mind in vain." ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "It's not good to say something wrong, I came to see you today as Su Ji Shaodong, but not as a food envoy, in the final analysis, we are all natives of our hometown, and it is boring to talk around." ”

Lang Shaodong frowned and said, "What are you going to say?" ”

Su Jin said: "Let me explain to you what it means to kill a batch of people and close a batch of streams, I was appointed by the emperor to go to Yangzhou to handle grain affairs, and the merchants in the world are all in one mind, and the grain merchants in Yangzhou are no exception, and they can even be said to be more fierce and arrogant; The family wealth and power are all unforgettable for the businessmen of my Luzhou City; Just one Feng merchant hoarded 1.8 million stone of grain, and you think about how much financial resources this should have. ”

Lang Shaodong's mouth was open enough to stuff the teacup in his hand, and he looked at Su Jin in disbelief.

Su Jin said: "You must think it's incredible, to be honest, I also think it's incredible, not only that, this person has four or five hundred thugs under his command, the number is almost catching up with the number of thirty percent of the Luzhou Xiang Army, this person also buys dozens of important officials to work for himself, do you think about such a person, I can do it when Su Jin goes to Yangzhou?" ”

Lang Shaodong frowned and said, "How can this be done to him?" Did you bring him down? ”

Su Jin nodded slightly and said, "Together with Feng and the 17 officials of the state government, they have all been beheaded in Yangzhou for more than ten days ago. ”

Lang Shaodong's body shook, and the contempt in his eyes when he looked at Su Jin was gone.

"Nearly 200 of Feng's minions and thugs were killed, and more than 200 people were all imprisoned, and nearly 1,000 family members and marginal people involved in the case, regardless of men, women, and children, were exiled to the bitter cold land as official prostitutes and slaves, and all the people involved in the case were confiscated and confiscated, and tens of millions of real estate and property were seized, and the 1.8 million stone grain did not escape from the palm of my hand." Su Jin's tone was indifferent, but the cold meaning in his words made people shudder.

Lang Shaodong's face turned pale, his lips were dry, he shook his hands and took a sip of tea, and when he closed the lid, he missed it, the tea cup almost overturned, and the tea splashed out of the blue silk cloth jacket on his body.

Su Jin said: "I'm afraid Lang Shaodong is unimaginable, or he doesn't believe it at all, but let me tell you, the imperial court's mansion newspaper on this matter has already been distributed to the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty a year ago, and our Zhu Governor's Mansion in Luzhou must already have this mansion newspaper in his hands, but you have no chance to know about it." ”

Lang Shaodong swallowed and spat hard, forced himself to calm down, and said hoarsely: "What are you telling me about this?" I'm just hoarding 20,000 stone of grain, is this also the crime of killing my head? Besides, Governor Zhu has already punished Zaixia, and all the grain in my warehouse has been transported to the official warehouse, ...... You...... Tell me this, are you trying to settle old accounts with me? ”

Su Jin snorted and said: "I'm not telling you this to scare you, nor is it to settle some old accounts with you, if I want to move you, I won't come alone today, and I came as Su Ji's owner; But don't forget my other identity, don't expect to be punished by the Zhu Governor's Mansion, everything will be fine if the grain is sold to the official warehouse; If I trouble you, you won't be able to get away. ”

Lang Shaodong said: "What else do you want?" The grain is all in the official warehouse, and it is also the board, isn't it enough? It's only 20,000 stones......"

Su Jin sneered: "I don't know if you have read the edict of grain issued by the imperial court more than a month ago?" Governor Zhu should have posted propaganda throughout the city. ”

Lang Shaodong said: "I've seen it, naturally I've seen it." ”

Su Jin said: "Do you remember the content?" ”

Lang Shaodong thought about it for a long time and didn't remember the slightest bit of the content, at that time, it was just a formality, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

"If you can't remember, I'll remind you, there is a date on the edict, which is the 20th day of November in the first year of the Qing calendar, I don't know if you remember it?"

Lang Shaodong's mind was struck, and all the contents of the edict poured into his mind, before November 20th, he took the initiative to sell grain in the official warehouse, and the price was purchased at a price one percent higher than the market grain price, and the corresponding reward was given according to the number of rice sold; Once the 20th pass has passed, the purchase price of the official warehouse will be directly reduced to 300 wen and one stone, and if it refuses to sell again, it will be severely punished according to the amount of grain stored.

Lang Shaodong's face turned pale, although his grain was forcibly taken away, but Zhu Shiyong finally gave a few thin noodles, and still bought it at a price one percent higher than the market price; If you follow the order of the edict, 300 wen and one stone, will you lose all your money.

Because the price is higher than the market price, it is only a consistent 21 stone, and the purchase price of the Chamber of Commerce to raise funds for grain has been consistently three, plus the cost of boat and vehicle transportation, he has already lost his old capital, so he has a quarrel with Zhu Shiyong, Zhu Shiyong has no time to talk to him, so he simply sent someone to beat him with 20 boards, and forcibly pulled the grain away and filled it into the official warehouse.

Lang Shaodong also understood why Zhu Shiyong wanted to do this to himself, Su Jin killed so many people in Yangzhou, and even the people in the official palace were implicated, killing hundreds of people, imprisoning hundreds of people, and exiled thousands of people, this momentum is afraid to shake the whole Song Dynasty.

Luzhou is so close to Yangzhou, the Di newspaper did not come, Zhu Shiyong is afraid that he has long known everything about the grain affairs in Yangzhou City, so he took precautions to collect the grain, needless to say that Tang Jiyuan and others must have handed over the grain very cooperatively, because if this is not the case, once Su Jin arrives in Luzhou and finds out these grains, even the Chamber of Commerce and Zhu Shiyong will be unlucky. With Su Jin's means in Yangzhou, there are few people who have their heads on the ground.

Lang Shaodong had beads of sweat rolling on his forehead, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it, he was both scared and angry, since Su Jin had retold that crucial date, he naturally knew that the time for selling grain had already passed the deadline of the imperial court, and if he turned his face on this matter, it would be a big trouble; Angry, the old things in the Chamber of Commerce and Zhu Shiyong basically excluded themselves from the core; The Chamber of Commerce didn't even have a good reputation, even if it sent someone to explain the stakes, he would never accept Zhu Shiyong's 20 boards.

After thinking about it, Lang Shaodong suddenly understood that several presidents of the Chamber of Commerce must be dissatisfied with him, and he likes to go his own way on weekdays, and he has contradicted Vice President Liu and Vice President Huang many times, and pointed at these two people several times to scold his mother in person; The surname Huang is okay, there is no wit, but this surname Liu is a bad species, he is nicknamed 'Xiao Zhuge 'There are a lot of ideas in the stomach and intestines, maybe it is this opportunity to take advantage of the prefect's hand to announce personal vendettas, and he just opened his ass.

Su Jin squinted at the rich expression on Lang Shaodong's face, gritting his teeth for a while, and being afraid and entangled for a while; He was pleased with the effect; Lang Shaodong was spanked by Zhu Shiyong, to be honest, he couldn't believe it, at this juncture, Zhu Shiyong shouldn't have made such a stupid move, but since he had this stupid trick, Su Jin didn't bother to think about the reason.

When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it, is it possible that the people in the Chamber of Commerce will also use bitter meat to make a plan?

Su Jin quickly and categorically denied this speculation, his own mind is too much, and he often speculates that others will also go astray; Su Jin could almost conclude that this Lang Shaodong did not have a high status in the Chamber of Commerce, maybe Lang Yongping thought he was very important, but in the eyes of Tang Jiyuan and others, he was not regarded as a number one person at all.

The reason is very simple, the Chamber of Commerce hoarded 300,000 stone of grain, and Lang Shaodong only got a share of 20,000 stones, which directly reflected that Lang Shaodong did not enter the core position of the small group in the Chamber of Commerce at all, and the distribution of interests is the most revealing; To put it bluntly, he is just a soy sauce errand runner, and the 20,000 Shitun grain is just letting him smear his lips and taste the sweetness.

The bitter meat plan can only be played by the core role, and people like Lang Shaodong don't even have this qualification.
