Chapter 315 Deadly
There was news from the sea that the internal strife among the Baqi pirates finally broke out.

Due to the news obtained in advance, the two major forces in Amaterasu Kingdom did not succeed easily.

Although the two leaders of the Central Plains suffered a lot of losses, they still retained a lot of strength.

At the same time, in the battle, Amaterasu Kingdom suffered a lot of losses.

The two sides are still at a stalemate.

In this regard, Fang Jing secretly ordered the forces of Blood Shark and Shuangjiao to go north, looking for an opportunity to give Baqi a ruthless blow.

After learning about the internal strife in Baqi, Toyotomi Yuxiu felt a little excited.

She knew that no matter what the outcome, Yaqi's power would be weakened.

Then this Lord Fang is really likely to defeat Baqi, and it will be much easier to avenge himself at that time.

For these pirates, it would be extremely difficult for the imperial army to encircle and suppress them.

Because if the court takes action, these pirates will join forces.

On the contrary, it is the best way to let these pirates fight among themselves and attack each other.

Of course, this must be done under the circumstances that one has strong strength, otherwise it is impossible to implement it.

As far as it is now, many people in the Tiandi Renzihao have secretly enriched the Shuangjiao and the Blood Shark. With them, even the biggest force like Baqi will be difficult to parry.

Zhu Wenxing acted very quickly, and the imperial decree came down the next day.

This was read by all the people in the Yamen in front of the command, and Fang Jing accepted the order.

After hearing the content of the imperial decree, Qin Moshi's expression became a little unnatural.

This edict is completely aimed at those big grain merchants in Luoyang City.

The imperial court arranged for Fang Jing to be responsible for the supply of food and grass for the Northern Expedition Army.

What does it mean?
Any factors that Fang Jing thinks are unfavorable to raising food can be attacked.

This is very fatal for those big grain merchants.

They originally wanted to intercept the grain brought in from outside, so that they could ensure that the passage of grain and grass was only in their hands.

It's all over now, how could Fang Jing tolerate them?
In addition, there is the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce behind Fang Jing, and they themselves want to transport grain to Luoyang.

How could Qin Moshi not know that these big grain merchants were secretly doing trouble on the canal?

But for such a thing, it is to see through but not to reveal.

After all, it still has something to do with the First Prince.

Min Zhenyuan's expression was normal, everyone couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

On the contrary, Han Sen directly supported Fang Jing and asked the following sixteen governors to fully cooperate with Fang Jing.

This is in the name of guaranteeing the food and wages of the Northern Expedition Army, and no one dares to object.

At least on the surface, everyone has to support it.

With the imperial decree, that is to have the Shangfang sword.

Fang Jing is not afraid of someone making trouble in the dark, he really has to jump out, and solve it by himself.

The news spread quickly, and the big grain merchants in the city got the news almost immediately.

They are well-informed, and there are naturally their eyeliners in the Wulin Wei Yamen. If there is any trouble, they will know it quickly.

After learning that Fang Jing had such an imperial edict, the faces of these people were very ugly.

"If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have bought the million stones before." Someone sighed.

He regretted it.

Although one stone is ten taels, which is much cheaper than the food price in Luoyang, as long as Fang Jing adjusts the food from the south, the food price in Luoyang city will definitely plummet.

Maybe he won't go back to one stone and six taels, but he can definitely do it if he wants to keep the grain price below ten taels.

During this time, they actually saw the strength of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

A million stones of grain can be said to be lucky.

They have already received the news that the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce has already purchased grain in various prefectures and counties along the canal this time, and the shipment will start soon.

The grain purchased this time is probably far more than a million stones.

The shipwrecks on the canal obviously did not deter the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"Why don't we sell the grain in our hands before Fang Jing's boat arrives in Luoyang, even at a lower price."

"Yes, although we can't sell all of them now, at least we can reduce losses."

Many of them were a little flustered.

They spent a lot of money in order to stockpile food.

Now I see the food in my hands depreciating, and my heart is bleeding.

It will be even worse if Fang Jing's food arrives.

"Sell? How much do you want to sell?" Someone snorted coldly, "The news will soon spread throughout the city, and everyone will know that there will be grain entering Luoyang soon. Otherwise, who would pick up our food at this time? The big deal is to wait a few days, and they can afford it."

"That's right, if someone wants to buy it, at least it has to be less than one stone and ten taels, are you willing?"

The face of the person who said that he wanted to sell grain just now was even uglier.

They thought that even if they couldn't make a shot in the forty taels, 30 taels should still be acceptable.

Thinking about their words now, it is true.

After the news spread, it was obvious that no one would take over the price.

Don't talk about 30 taels, even if it is 20 taels, no one will bother.

If it is less than ten taels, no one will care about it.

But they are reluctant to sell it for less than ten taels.

How much do you have to pay?
The most recent million stones were purchased at ten taels a stone, but the average cost of the first million stones was more than ten taels, plus various other miscellaneous expenses, if they didn’t sell for more than ten taels, they wanted Miserable.

For a while, those who wanted to sell grain fell silent.

They said they were selling at a reduced price, but in fact they still wanted to make some money, but they just made less money.

If they really wanted to sell at a loss, they wavered and hesitated.

"At this point, there is nothing to say. That kid obviously wants to fight us to the end. Since that's the case, we will accompany him to the end."

"He has the sacred decree."

"Imperial decree? Hey, so what?" He sneered this time, "Could it be that so many of us are still afraid of that kid's family? I don't believe that Wulinwei can give him much support. Those guys from Wulinwei really Dare to tear face off with us completely?"

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this.

Fang Jing is considered an outsider, and he doesn't have much interest in Luoyang, so he can let go and act recklessly.

As for the martial arts guards in the commander's yamen, many of them have stayed in Luoyang for many years, and it is difficult for them to completely get rid of the relationship and interests in Luoyang.

Even if Fang Jing gave the order, even if there was an imperial decree, they had to act, but when they acted, whether to use all their strength, it was not up to them themselves to decide?

They can be sure that Wu Linwei doesn't need to worry too much.

Even though the Wulin Guards had just been purged, many town emissaries from other places, such as Qianhu, were transferred.

But these people are still a minority compared to the people below Wulinwei.

"With so many of our families joining forces, how can the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce be able to compare with so many masters? Fang's firm has many masters, and I heard that there are also two masters of the land realm and many masters of the personal realm. So what? Gather us With the strength of everyone, it is not difficult to invite a few masters of the heavens to take action."
