Chapter 1127: Conspiracy
Hu Zongxian sent Yu Dayou to lead the army to begin escorting grain all the way to various parts of the south, and at the same time, Luo Xin ordered Guancang to start selling grain at twice the price of last year.
There was no one in front of the large and small grain merchants, and there were many people in front of them. The guys all stood in the doorway with their hands crossed, talking.
"The government has doubled the price of food!"
"Yes! How dare you descend! Didn't our owner lose money? ”
"Lose your ass! There are only 2.5 million stone of grain, and it is not only placed in Hangzhou Prefecture, but also transported to various parts of the south, how much can each state capital get? 2.5 million stones, how long can it last? When the 2.5 million stone grain is sold out, isn't it going to rise? ”
At this time, a large number of people gathered in front of the Guancang Gate, lined up in a long line, with excited smiles on their faces. Although the official warehouse only opened five outlets, and each person was limited to buying, it still calmed the panicked hearts of the people.
At this time, suddenly someone in the team shouted loudly.
"Why a limited edition?"
"yes, why a limited edition? Is there not much food left? ”
"I heard that this time it was the five major families who sold 2.5 million stone of grain to the government, and these grains were not only sold in our Hangzhou Mansion, but also transported a lot of them to other state capitals. That's not enough food to sell for a few days. After a few days, there will be no more food to sell. ”
"Yes, we want to buy more, not limit."
"We're going to buy more."
"No limits!"
"Whoa......
A platoon of soldiers rushed up, slashing their heads and covering their faces, and there was no explanation at all. After the whipping, more than a dozen people who took the lead in coaxing were arrested and dragged away. He came to Luo Xin and brought them to their knees.
Luo Xin just sat on a chair next to the official warehouse, holding tea, and his eyes swept over the line, so that everyone in the queue felt that Luo Xin's eyes swept over them like a knife, and their hearts couldn't help but feel cold, and at this time they remembered who Luo Xin was, that was the God of Killing. He was not a suicide widow, when he first came to the southeast, he even killed officials and his family. Why are there only five major families left now, and they haven't been killed by Luo Xin?
All of a sudden, there was no sound.
"What a guts!" Luo Xin opened his mouth in a condensed voice: "You dare to send someone to disturb the official mansion, go back and tell your master, if you dare to come nonsense again, I, Luo Xin, will put down my words here, come to one, and destroy the family." Get lost! ”
More than a dozen people ran away in a panic, and a murderous aura appeared on Luo Xin's face. He knew that these people must have been sent by those grain merchants. It's just that now Daming has begun to mess up and needs stability. And there is no need to kill those people, as long as the grain in Lingnan arrives after a while, those grain merchants will not be able to hold on.
They will see the grain ships that cover the sky, and then they will be afraid. If the price is not lowered, and the autumn harvest is held, the grain will return to the price of previous years, and they will lose money. Therefore, Luo Xin firmly believes that they can't stand the visual impact of the grain ship that shakes the sky, and if they can't hold on for a few days, they will have the same price as the official warehouse. In this way, with their joining, the grain shortage in the south has been basically solved. You can go to the north on your own.
The entire official warehouse was quiet, and everyone secretly glanced at Luo Xin, and then honestly bought grain. However, there is uneasiness in my heart. One by one, he secretly said in his heart:
"It's not really just this little bit of food, is it?"
Besides, the dozen or so people ran all the way into the box of a restaurant, and there were large and small grain merchants sitting in the box. When he saw that his family was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he stood up in shock.
"What's going on?"
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and a team of brocade guards stood at the door, and then flashed to both sides, Liu Shouyou walked forward slowly, stood at the door, his eyes swept over the grain merchants in the box like an eagle, and then stretched out his finger and pointed at them.
"Poof...... Puff ......"
As soon as the grain merchants' legs were weak, they all sat down on their chairs, with a look of despair in their eyes, and the murderous reputation of Jinyiwei was unknown in Daming.
However, when he saw Liu Shouyou, he put away his fingers at this time, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back. And the brocade guards who followed him also turned around and followed Liu Shouyou away.
There was silence in the room, and it was a quarter of an hour before the sluggish merchants came to their senses. A merchant waited for his family and asked hoarsely:
"What the hell is going on?"
"Old man......"
The man told him about it, and the man's lips trembled, "So, Lord Luo already knows that we are making trouble?" ”
"Puff ......"
A merchant fell from his chair, and the people in the room were pale. Halfway through, an old man said softly:
"Lord Luo said that next time something like this happens, he will raid his family and exterminate the clan?"
"Yes!" His family said with a crying voice.
"Huh......," the old man let out a breath and said, "In this way, this time it will be fine." ”
"Phew......" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. However, then they became nervous again, with Luo Xin's murderous nature, even if they didn't raid their families and exterminate their clans, it wouldn't end there, right?
"We ...... Is it also a reduction in food prices? ”
"Nonsense!" A middle-aged businessman said: "We bought all this grain at three times the price. Unlike the five major families, they have a lot of land at home, so a lot of their food is grown by themselves. Although they also charged three times the price at the beginning. But on average, it is less than three times as much as the food you grow. Maybe only twice as much. But we are different, and the vast majority of the food we are hoarding now is purchased at three times the price. If we sell at twice the price, our family property will be reduced by a third. I disagree. ”
"I don't agree either, it's a big deal, after the grain in the official warehouse is sold, we still maintain ten times the price, and the price will not increase again."
"Yes, anyway, we don't want to provoke Luo Xin anymore, they will sell as much as he wants. We'll just wait. ”
"Yes, that's it."
These people are greedy and fearful, arguing for a while, and there is no unanimity of opinion at all. And at this time, I remembered the sound of footsteps outside the door, and it was not one, very hurried.
"Bang!"
The box door was pushed open, and several of the housekeepers ran in.
"Master, it's not good!"
The merchants in the room collapsed on their chairs at once, and several even rolled to the ground. At this time, the only thought that came to their minds was that the brocade guards had come to arrest people.
"Sir...... Grain...... Food ......"
"Food...... What's wrong? Don't...... Luo Xin went to our house to grab food? The merchant asked tremblingly.
