Chapter 1193: Food War

Yan Saburo was originally a little surprised, why didn't he mention it in the last letter. But look at the second part to understand:

The spies sent by the victorious king to Xuanguo returned, the regent announced his honor, and the domestic affairs were temporarily replaced by Prince Yan Shuang and the other two pillars!

Don't say Chitose, even Yan Saburo felt unbelievable when he saw this news, and the first thought was:

Yan Lie can't do it.

He has a strange poison in his body, and he has to cultivate exquisitely, so he can survive for the past two years, but the poison of the soul stone will attack sooner or later. According to the timetable calculated by He Xiaoyuan's research, it is probably the most recent.

Yan Lie's governance is already powerless, and it is reasonable for other members of the royal family to take over.

However, although Yan Sanlang and Yan Lie have had limited dealings, they know that he has always held power firmly, how can he let go easily until the last breath of his life?

Chitose even said: "There is no mention of the little prince Yan Tongyi here. ”

Of course, this could not have been forgotten by the victorious king.

In terms of position, Yan Tongyi is the successor to the throne, and the power of Xuanguo overlaps, but he doesn't say a word about him. Yan Saburo said softly: "Yan Lie is protecting his son. ”

Only in this way can Yan Tongyi get temporary safety.

At the same time, the letter mentioned that the two armies that had been stationed in the capital had recently moved to the southeast, and they did not know what military orders they had received. And Taifu Tie Shi Ning and his wife also went back to their hometown to visit relatives.

Yan Saburo looked at the time carefully: "In this way, Yan Lie met with Wu Shuyu in his dream first, and announced that Rongyang transferred power later, and the time difference was more than two months. Perhaps, he made some arrangements during this time?"

The Xuanguo Great Change happened a month ago, but Weiguo and it are still separated by a huge Shoutong Mountain Range, and it is inconvenient to convey information, so Weiren still does not know.

As for the spies sent by the victorious king, it will take a lot of time to collect information and send it back to Taoyuan.

The news changed hands like this, and it took a lot of time to get it to Yan Saburo.

Chitose pointed to a line of small characters: "Wu Ling said that Yan Lie asked if the person who rescued Wu Shuyu was you." She denied it. ”

"That's not the point. Yan Saburo shook the note in his hand, "The dream happened a long time ago, and the victorious king didn't say it at that time, but now he writes these two things together." ”

He thinks the two things are related. Chitose stroked his chin and said, "Yan Lierongyang, what are you doing?"

"Wu Shuyu was also poisoned by the soul stone back then, since Yan Lie was sure that the poisoner was Duan Fang, it could also be inferred that he had an antidote on him. Yan Saburo's tone was affirmative, "Time is limited, he automatically relinquished power at the last moment, and he can only do more important things." ”

Chitose said, "Do you think he will go to Duanfang or come to you?"

"It's all possible, but it's more likely that he'll go to the end side. Yan Saburo didn't think twice, "Do you remember the last person he sent to Shengyi?"

"Well, that one is a regular submission to ask for a meeting, saying that as long as we come up with an antidote, the conditions can be mentioned casually, unlike the previous ones, all of whom went over the wall. Chitose smiled, "So I politely sent him away." ”

"No one was sent after that. He knew that Chitose's "politeness" must not be literal. After all, Yan Lie and Yan Tao's brothers were embarrassed by Yan Saburo in Anlai City, and Asura could hold a grudge.

"That's it. I told the so-called messenger that I don't know what the antidote is. Chitose snorted, "If you want to use both soft and hard things with us in Shengyi, how can there be such a beautiful thing?"

Handing over the antidote is equivalent to admitting that Yan Saburo robbed the Jade Concubine back then. Besides, she doesn't have a good impression of Brother Yan Lie and doesn't want to save it.

"We strongly deny it, but Yan Lie can't be sure. Yan Saburo nodded, "He doesn't have much time and is not in good health, so he can only choose." ”

Chitose sighed: "It's not easy to deal with." ”

"With a glimmer of life, he will definitely go all out, so it is possible to find the end or me. Yan Saburo smiled, "But, we're leaving again, if he comes here, it seems that he will be in the air again." ”

The victorious king was concerned about this, probably for the sake of his grandson. ”

Yan Saburo nodded.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

......

Qing Lebo, who had no job or title, quietly left the city, and not many people knew this news.

The entire Shengyi and even the entire Weiguo are watching a big show:

The war over food prices.

The official grain, which was priced at 20 wen at a fixed position, continued to be sold for another fifteen days.

This is a calm half a month on the surface, but in fact it is secretly turbulent.

Grain merchants were previously beaten by the soaring grain prices, and more than 300 grain numbers in Shengyi alone went out of business directly, and the industry was in mourning.

More than 100 days have passed since the grain of 65 wen per bucket has been placed in the regular closing position. At that time, many businessmen borrowed a lot of debts to buy the bottom, and the profits were very high, and the more they lost in the past few months, the debts rolled higher and higher, and the two mountains pressed down together, and I don't know how many people were directly crushed.

Fortunately, after calming down for half a month, the most powerful major grain merchants gradually stabilized their emotions, and looked at it, there was no trend of price reduction, and the price of 20 Wen was also a real floor price after the flood, and it was only 15 Wen before, where can it fall again?

A big grain merchant like Zhuangjia finally mustered up the courage to continue to invest money.

There are also two grain stores in the property under the name of the Protector Mansion. The shopkeeper couldn't hold it back, so he came to ask for instructions from the Duchess He Xiaoyuan, who took care of everything, saying that this was a great opportunity to secretly buy some at a low price, which was not eye-catching.

He Xiaoyuan thought for a while: "Do you recognize Li Kailiang of Yan Ji?"

"I know it, Li Kailiang has become famous with Qinglebo. The two shopkeepers both said, "The Protector Mansion is good friends with Qinglebo, and we still have business contacts with Li Kailiang." ”

He Xiaoyuan smiled and said: "Okay, you go to Li Kailiang and say that I asked him if he would buy grain." If he buys it, you will follow, and if he does not buy it, you should not think about it. ”

The two listened and did as they were told.

As a result, Li Kailiang's reply was: Yan Ji did not participate.

The official grain that was often closed was finally bought up again.

But this time, the main force involved in the purchase of grain was not only second-hand dealers, but also the general public.

After watching this period of time, the people first came to the rice jar and was empty, and the second was to figure it out: this is an extraordinary period, the price of grain once rose by hundreds of Wen, and now it has fallen back to 20 Wen, the price of buying a bucket of rice more than a month ago, and now it can buy five buckets, what do you expect?

Be content, buy, buy, buy!

This time, it was like using up the last bit of strength to close the position, and it was not opened again for the next month.

The civil commotion, the royal court did not stop, and the courtiers questioned the storage of Changping's warehouse, and the officials of the teaching warehouse were embarrassed. After Xiao Mi's last round of rectification and beating, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, now the grain officials are tight-lipped and dare not leak secrets to anyone.
