Chapter 993: Pinching each other in secret
If you want to rank shamelessly in the Tang Empire, Cheng Biting Jin is the first, and the second is most likely Chen Fei.
What Wang Tian couldn't figure out was that he was obviously doing something immoral behind his back, why did Chen Fei be so blushing and heartbeat, and he still looked like he was taking it for granted?
It is conceivable that Li Ke provoked Chen Fei, and the next period of time may not be so easy, Wang Tian mourned for him for three minutes.
But then again, although Chen Fei is shameless to outsiders, he has nothing to say about his own people. Several of their good brothers who grew up since childhood, but they all have a good life thanks to Chen Fei.
His Wang Tian was originally a butcher who killed pigs and sold meat, and Hu Kanghudi's family was an out-and-out poor peasant.
What now? The Hu family of the Wang family has become a wealthy landlord, and Hu Di is even more because Chen Fei has mixed with an official position in the army, which is regarded as a small eunuch family, all of which depends on Chen Fei.
And Chen Fei has never put up any shelf with them now as a big official, and he still calls them "Ah Fei" when they met like when they were children, and it can be seen that they really regard them as brothers.
Thinking of this, his eyes were slightly red with emotion.
Chen Fei saw that Wang Tian's eyes were slightly red, and he scolded with a smile: "What kind of eyes are you red?" There's no sand in the house! ”
Wang Tian rubbed his eyes, pretended not to care, and said, "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, the taste in their smiles ....... Well, it's very affectionate. "Ah yes, let's not be sensational, Wang Tian, there is still something you need to do, do you know the shopkeeper of Xu Anji?"
Wang Tian scratched his head and said: "It's considered an acquaintance, I've met a few times, but I haven't had much business dealings, so I'm not very familiar with each other, what's wrong?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want you to get in touch with him, and let him make some difficulties for these people who buy food, such as not enough food or the price has risen, of course, why don't you let him do things for nothing, give him corresponding monetary compensation, and if necessary, you can reveal my identity accordingly."
"But why is that?" Wang Tian was suddenly confused, what Chen Fei did was completely thankless, such a loss...... He's not going to be confused, is he?
Chen Fei seemed to see through Wang Tian's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Wang Tian, don't think about it, I just want to disgust Li Ke, this kid is thinking about yin me behind his back, then I can't let him feel too good, I must also let him experience how disgusting it feels to be yin." What's more, grain and grass are a big deal, and if the grain and grass are in trouble, he will naturally put his mind on the grain and grass, and it would be good to pay less attention to me. ”
Seeing Chen Fei's evil smile, Wang Tian suddenly felt cold, and said silently in his heart: Rich people really know how to play!
Seeing Wang Tian stunned, Chen Fei said again: "Also, Li Ke collects grain and grass, there must be a lot of people and horses to feed, judging from the scale of his collection of grain and grass, I am afraid that there are still a lot of people and horses, and I suspect that Chang'an City can only be regarded as a small-scale collection of grain and grass, and the collected grain and grass are only piled up in the warehouse for backup, and it is estimated that there are still many people in the surrounding counties and cities near Chang'an City who are secretly collecting grain, I want you to help investigate, but the matter must be hidden, once it is discovered, it means that I am going to die with Li Ke!" ”
Wang Tian also knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will do it!" ”
…………
Poor Li Ke didn't know that he was being shaded behind his back, and in the past few days, several commercial banks that supplied grain and grass in a row had a shortage of goods and needed to replenish and suspend sales, which made him quite annoyed.
Secretly raising 20,000 horses, grain and grass is indeed a very fatal thing. Suppose a person needs two catties of rations a day, then 20,000 people need 40,000 catties of rations a day, which is 1.2 million catties a month.
Once the food and grass are cut off, the men and horses under his command must immediately stop eating.
Although he has obtained a lot of grain and grass through many ways openly and secretly, these purchased grain and grass are also indispensable.
Fortunately, he still has some grain and grass reserves, as long as the stock is not out for a long time, it is still acceptable.
However, a few days later, what made him run away was that the men who went to collect the grain came down to report that the price of grain in each granary had generally risen, and it was said that there was a disaster in the Huguang area, and the grain harvest was not good, so the price of grain generally increased by 20%.
"Twenty percent! Why don't they rob these granaries for money? Li Ke angrily scolded in the house.
The price of grain has risen by 20%, and it is good that the amount is a little less, and during the disaster year, forbearance will pass, but if the amount is large, it will really be a disaster.
Obviously, for Li Ke, the price increase of 20% is beyond his budget. In order to support his soldiers, he posted almost all the income and expenditure of the palace, including a lot of gray income, and there was almost no money left, and now that the price of grain and grass has risen, he is almost bankrupt. When the prince is poor to his part, it is estimated that there is no one else in Datang, right?
"Your Highness, I think things are a little strange." Yang Qingzheng, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke, "It is rare for several grain merchants to raise prices at the same time, and the price increases are so consistent. It's impossible for these merchants to bring in grain in Huguang, right? Let alone...... Don't they have inventory? ”
Li Ke glanced at Yang Qingzheng and said in a low voice: "Then what do you mean...... Someone is messing with you behind your back? ”
"This ...... I can't say for sure below, but things are bound to be strange. ”
"Even if there is something strange now, I can't do anything now, I shouldn't show my identity to oppress these merchants, after all, these things are done in secret. Yang Qingzheng, do you have any other way? ”
Yang Qingzheng thought about it and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, there are only two ways now, either go to a farther field to collect grain and grass, or ...... Let Our Lady think of another way to see if we can get more food. ”
"Our Lady?" Li Ke felt a headache when he thought of Leng Yueqing, this woman didn't eat hard and soft, and if she wanted her to do something for herself, I'm afraid it was really a bit difficult.
"Let's not find the Holy Mother Sect first, they are also secretly collecting grain and grass, if it is exposed, it will not be good, Yang Qingzheng, you arrange some people to go out of the customs to collect grain, the food stored now is enough to support a period of time, and it should be too late for you to come back."
Yang Qingzheng arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”
Yang Qingzheng went to arrange the matter of grain and grass, and limped away. Li Ke sat alone in the room, rubbing his forehead tiredly, falling into deep worry, he always felt that the rebellion he thought he had planned was very hidden, but now it seems that it is not so hidden......
Let's not talk about the mutual calculations between Chen Fei and Li Ke, in October this year, in the golden autumn season, Li Zhi carried out the crown prince awarding ceremony in the Huangzu Temple. From then on, Li Zhi was officially appointed as the crown prince, completely cutting off the minds of those ministers who "have other numbers in their hearts".
Li Zhi was made the crown prince, and the happiest person was not Li Zhi, not Chen Fei, nor Cheng Yanjin, but ...... Li Zhuo, this guy!
He was very glad that he followed Chen Fei to bet on the right treasure, and in the days to come, as long as his brain is not pumped, there will inevitably be a day when he will soar! Anyway, it can be regarded as a "hero from the dragon"!
In the past few days, he has been the most jubilant, pulling Chen Fei to drink all day and night, drinking and vomiting and going home to be smoked by his mother-in-law, waking up and continuing to drink, he is really a promoter of Datang Liquor.
Chen Fei shook his head slightly when he saw him like this, Li Zhi was made the crown prince, it was just the beginning for him, and next, his journey was the whole world! ()
