The next day, the continuous rain in Gyeonggi Province and Togi Province did not decrease, but it became heavier and heavier.

Longshou Canal, Tongji Canal burst the embankment, although the wolf cavalry and the officials of the Ministry of Industry worked very hard, but the continuous rain did not quickly block the mouth, under the surging river water, it became more and more serious.

Even though Yang Yue paid attention to it personally, the problem still did not improve.

After hearing that people have lowered grain prices, there have been many fluctuations, some chambers of commerce have followed closely to reduce grain prices, and some chambers of commerce still insist on high prices.

During this period, King Wu sent an army to secretly send back 50,000 quintals of grain from Shu, and Yang Yue sent Zhao Xuanhu to lead the troops to receive them, all of which were left in Changshengfang in Chang'an.

This batch of grain gradually resolved the urgent needs of the imperial court, and Yang Yue reminded Yang Hong that he continued to sell thousands of quintals of grain from Taicang every day to ensure that the price of grain in Chang'an was stable.

However, in the next few days, the weather did not improve, and the grain in the south of the Yangtze River could not be transported back to Chang'an, and the grain prices in Chang'an continued to rise on the original basis, more than three times that of the previous year.

With this, after the Wen family experienced internal discussions, Wen Renxiong was forced to release Wen Rentao, Wen Renhao and his son, and the two sides returned to control Wen Ren's food.

Wen Renhao returned to control the grain, and retaliated against the price of grain, trying to earn back the silver that had been earned for a few days.

After several days of secret observation, Wen Renxiong gradually noticed that there didn't seem to be much surplus grain in Taicang, at least, there wasn't a lot of grain circulating in the market.

A steady stream of white flowers and silver flowed into the money village, which made Wen Renxiong gradually forget Yang Hong's warning.

Moreover, the food prices of many chambers of commerce in Chang'an are still at a high level, but the imperial court has never had the idea of blame, and seems to have acquiesced.

The edict issued by the imperial court is also thunder and rain.

Wen Renxiong firmly believes that when the price of grain is high, if all the people sell grain according to the market price, they will definitely make a lot of money.

However, Wen Renxiong was not at ease after all, and often asked Wen Renxian Song and Wen Renyu, hoping to speculate on the amount of grain stored in Taicang and the emperor's attitude towards Chang'an grain prices.

Wen Renxian Song suggested selling grain at a low price, after all, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and it was not a good thing to openly violate the emperor's edict and refute the emperor's face.

What's more, Wen people often deal with the imperial court, and they must not make small profits in front of them and ruin the relationship established with the imperial court.

He inquired about Wen Renyu, but learned that after the end of the year, there was no new grain purchased in Taicang, and it was all supported by the grain transported back from Hexi Road.

Taicang's grain stocks have decreased but not increased, and Wen Renxiong is deeply aware that before the restoration of the Tongji Canal, Chang'an grain prices must always be at a high level.

The opportunity to let grain merchants raise food prices like the one in front of us is wrong, and there may be no chance at all.

Therefore, when he heard that Ren Tao and Wen Ren Hao arbitrarily raised the price of grain, he opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

Palace!

In the council hall, Pei Yongke, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, came to the Tongji Canal from Longshou Canal for a few days, and after returning from Tongji Canal, he immediately came to the palace to report to Yang Yue about the embankment breaking problem.

After several days of efforts, the gap in the canal has been effectively controlled, and although it has not yet been plugged, the threat is gradually decreasing.

Yang Yue heard Pei Yongke's report and immediately summoned his ministers.

The flood problem was solved, the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, and it was time to free up his hands to clean up the grain merchants in Chang'an.

Tigers don't threaten when I'm a sick cat?

Chang'an grain took advantage of the fire to rob, he had already endured enough.

The ministers entered the court, Jingzhao Yi Yang Hong, the criminal department Shangshu Ran Canglan, the household department Shangshu Wenrenyu, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Pei Yongke, and the forbidden army general Zhao Xuanhu.

On the dragon chair, Yang Yue leisurely drank warm tea, his face was cold, and he cleared his throat and said: "There are people who always regard the imperial edict as a deaf ear, taking advantage of the bad climate in Dugi Province and Gyeonggi Province, raising the price of grain, and the people of fish and meat, there is still the court in their eyes, and there is still the emperor of me.

Since they don't take me seriously, don't shed blood, and don't kill people, they're afraid they still don't have the law of the king."

When the ministers heard this, they basically guessed Yang Yue's plan.

The grain merchants of Chang'an were out of luck.

"Your Majesty, Weichen dared to ask, what is the emperor's plan?" When there was little silence in the council hall, Shangshu Ran Canglan of the Criminal Department came out and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want Weichen to arrest and imprison all the illegal profiteers in Chang'an City?"

Ran Canglan knows the truth that when the Son of Heaven is angry, blood flows like a river.

Besides, the practice of Chang'an grain merchants has really gone too far this time!

There is no Jing Zhaoyi in his eyes, there are no six departments of the imperial court, and even the emperor's edict is not in his eyes.

The new emperor ascends the throne, and no one can challenge his majesty.

Yang Yue Longyan chuckled, his index finger flicked on the dragon case, and said: "Arrest them now, they will say that the imperial court oppresses the people, this time I convinced them, Pei Yongke sent the officials of the Ministry of Industry to spread the news, claiming that the Longshou Canal and the Tongji Canal broke the embankment and expanded, Gao Heng sent his chamberlain to Dongshi, posted a notice, and wrote it clearly, the imperial court is in crisis, there is no grain in Taicang, and the people of Chang'an are working together to tide over the difficulties, and the grain merchants are strictly ordered to raise prices.

Zhao Xuanhu, Ran Canglan, secretly assembled the forbidden army, disguised himself and went to Dongshi, carefully recorded, who ignored the imperial edict to raise the price.

If there is a crisis in the imperial court, some people still make small profits, regardless of the overall situation, what is the use of keeping knowledge!"

"Yes!"

Pei Yongke and Zhao Xuanhu bowed and saluted.

Yang Yue did not hesitate, and said to Yang Hong: "Brother Huang, you go to Changshengfang, inform its boss, wait for the news, and prepare to sell grain at a price lower than half of the market."

Yang Hong was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Changshengfang is a chamber of commerce established in Chang'an when Yang Yue was outside the customs.

However, Changshengfang sells more expensive items such as felt, silk, embroidery, etc., and has never sold grain, afraid that there will be no food.

At this moment, Yang Yue asked him to go to Changshengfang, but there is food in the very Shengfang?

When Yang Hong was puzzled, Wen Renyu's face was full of worry, the emperor did not go through the household department, and directly asked Changshengfang to sell grain, I am afraid that there is an ulterior secret.

There is no food in Taicang, I am afraid that it is a pretense, and deliberately lure out all the ghosts, snakes and gods in Chang'an City.

This time, I heard that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was in big trouble.

Yang Hong hesitated, looked at Yang Yue's expression, did not ask, and said with a slight bow: "The emperor can rest assured."

At this time, Yang Yue Yang Yue picked up the teacup and drank all the tea, and said with a smile: "Wen Renyu, Zhao Xuanhu, go to Dongshi with me out of the palace."

"Yes!"

Hearing Renyu, Zhao Xuanhu nodded.

At first, Wen Renyu still had the idea of taking the opportunity to pass the news to the family, but suddenly got Yang Yue's instructions, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he didn't have the time to pass the news to the family.

changed into civilian clothes, wore a robe, Yang Yue took Wen Renyu, and Zhao Xuanhu went out of the palace.

At the same time, according to Yang Yue's instructions, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry ordered Shi to secretly spread the news of the increase in grain prices, and the palace attendants quickly went to the East Market and posted notices in conspicuous places everywhere.

From the content of the notice, it was learned that the situation of the imperial court, some grain merchants in the East City, some waited and watched the changes, some people intensified to increase the price of grain, and very few grain merchants reduced the price of grain according to the requirements of the notice.
