God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1139 Food shortage
Changsun Chong glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, we have to make one last fight. No matter how high or low the price is, we must buy all the grain in Chang'an, otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain."

Grain merchants, look at me, and I will look at you.

Someone couldn't help saying: "Master Changsun, you don't know something. I used up all the money I had left in my hands when I went shopping like crazy before. Now it's very difficult to spend money to buy food!"

"Yeah, I can't even get a penny out."

Changsun Chong sneered and said, "Is that all you have? If you don't have any money left, then you can sell the shop, the house, or the land. Think about it, as long as we buy all the grain, there will be no grain to sell in the whole of Chang'an." , the price of grain, isn’t it that we can set as much as we want, at that time, are we afraid that we won’t be able to make a fortune? Three times, five times, it’s not impossible! Think about it carefully, if you don’t want to, I won’t force it!”

Everyone discussed.

In the end, they all said: "Master Changsun, I will follow your orders."

……

The big grain merchants went back separately and began to sell their properties in order to raise money to buy grain.

This group of guys believed in Chang Sun Chong deeply, firmly believed that they would make a fortune, and no one cared about selling their property at a low price.

With surplus money in their hands, the big grain merchants began to buy grain in large quantities.

In just a few days, food prices have risen by as much as five times.

In the streets and alleys, there are fewer and fewer people selling food.

Until the end, no one sold grain anymore.

In the East and West Markets of Chang’an, there is no grain for sale. As for the [-] grains sold every day in the Hu County Grain Distribution Center, the number plates have long been seized by the big grain merchants. Can't touch it.

For a time, there were complaints in Chang'an City.

In addition, the big grain merchants headed by Changsun Chong deliberately spread the news, saying that the food shortage in Chang'an City was caused by the Hu County Grain Distribution Center. Distribution center.

……

Save under the door.

Several officials sat together, discussing a lot, and then turned to look at Du Ruhui.

"Du Xiang, there is a food shortage in Chang'an City now. If this situation continues, the people may feel dissatisfied and cause chaos. Are we really not going to take care of it?" an official couldn't help but said.

Du Ruhui smiled: "Master Li, what do you think should be done?"

The official said: "Nowadays, this matter is raging, but the court is silent. I'm afraid His Majesty doesn't know about it. We should report to the Holy Majesty, let the court take action, and order the Hu County Grain Distribution Center to continue selling grain. Otherwise, the common people I can't live anymore."

Du Ruhui said meaningfully: "Master Li, even you think that the food shortage is caused by the Hu County Grain Distribution Center?"

"Isn't it? That's what people say outside..."

"Ha ha……"

Du Ruhui said: "Many people also said that it was the work of Quanzi He'er, but the truth is not important anymore. I dare to say that this food shortage will not last for a few days."

After speaking, Du Ruhui walked out.

Several officials looked at each other.

"What do you mean by Du Xiang's words?"

"Isn't this simple? This matter has become a big deal, and it must be unstoppable. His Majesty will know that when the time comes, as long as the decree is issued, Duke Hu will not obediently let Hu County Grain Distribution Center sell grain. This food shortage will naturally pass.”

"I see!"

……

Two more days passed.

In Chang'an City, there have been incidents of people smashing grain stores and looting grain.

Liu Wentong, the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, was extremely busy.

He sent several waves of people to Hu County to ask to see Du He, but all the answers he got were waiting.

Liu Wentong was helpless.

If Du He had not been kind to him, he would have sent a memorial to His Majesty Li Er long ago.

That night.

Drunk Xianju.

But it was brightly lit.

The best wing room of the Tianzi Hall was full of people, and the one surrounded by stars like a moon was none other than Changsun Chong.

"Now Chang'an City has fallen into a real food shortage. Some people have money and are willing to pay ten times the market price to buy grain, but there is no grain to buy. The price of grain is already higher than the price of pork... As long as we sell the grain at this time, it is absolutely The price is high, and all of this is due to the eldest grandson!"

"Yes, without the help of the eldest grandson, we would not have the courage to wipe out all the grain in the grain market."

"Yes, today, let's get drunk!"

Warm atmosphere.

Chang Sun Chong said proudly: "Everyone, at noon tomorrow, the grain sales will start. However, the grain sales should not be rushed, but should be done slowly. If too much grain is released at once, it will affect the price of grain..."

"I will swear to die to follow the eldest grandson!"

"Listen to the eldest grandson's orders!"

Everyone said.

"Come on, tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" Chang Sun raised his glass and said loudly.

This night, Chang Sun Chong was very happy.

For so many years, he has been overwhelmed by Du He.

Princess Changle, whom he had always wanted to marry, fell into Du He's arms.

On the contrary, she married a tigress, Yuzhang Princess Li Sujin, and went home, and her life was not easy.

Du He is now the Duke of Hu, but he is only a county magistrate.

He doesn't agree!
Therefore, this time he dealt with the Hu County Grain Distribution Center, and he personally arranged it.

Now, everything is ready.

Just wait until noon tomorrow to start selling grain.

Make money and defeat the Hu County Grain Distribution Center.

Du He, Du He, from now on, I will crush you bit by bit, and let you see how powerful I am.

The eldest grandson was so drunk that he lived in Zuixian.

Zuixianju is the property of Changsun's family, and the shopkeeper's service is considerate. He personally went to Pingkangfang to find two beautiful women to serve Changsun Chong.

……

Chang Sun Chong opened his eyes.

It was found that the sky was bright.

He asked, "Now, what time is it?"

"Sir, now, three quarters past noon." A woman said, holding his arm with a smile.

Swish.

The eldest grandson jumped up and knocked on the head: "Drinking is a mistake, drinking is a mistake..."

He hurriedly put on his clothes, went outside, grabbed his men, and asked, "The one who sells grain at noon, why don't you call me my son? Also, where are those grain merchants? Where are they?"

The subordinate lowered his head and whispered, "My lord, it's over, everything is over!"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson became furious and kicked the other party to the ground: "Dog, I am going to get rich today, and you still say such despondent words, believe it or not, I will beat you to death and throw you out to feed the dogs?"

That guy was lying on the ground, like a lunatic, muttering in his mouth: "It's over, everything is over... everything is over..."

No matter how Chang Sun Chong kicked and beat him, this guy looked like a dead pig.

Chang Sun Chong slapped his head, a little dumbfounded, and then shouted: "Come here, come here..."

The shopkeeper of Zuixianju hurried over and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"
