Chapter 850
Miaoxian Tower.

This is a rising star in Chang'an City. In just a few months, it has become the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City.

Eating the simplest meal here will cost at least twenty pennies.

Miaoxianlou's pork dishes are the best in the world!
At this moment, in the most luxurious wing room, a surprised voice suddenly came out: "What? Your Majesty wants to buy shares?"

This voice was made by Du He, Duke of Huyi County.

Du He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yang, a little unbelievable: "Director Zhao, did Your Majesty make a mistake? The collection and sale of grain this time was done by Dream Group, and they didn't recruit people to buy shares!"

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be joking, the Dream Group is yours, and the one who collects and sells the grain is your godson. Isn't it up to you to buy shares or not? Your Majesty said, The rich merchants in Chang'an are rich and unkind, and they actually drive up the price of grain. They are punishable. However, if the imperial court issues an edict, or the government comes forward, it will appear that His Majesty is small-minded. Why not use another method, which can not only teach these wealthy merchants a lesson, but also make money Why not do it, His Majesty's original words are: That kid Du He will definitely not agree, you tell him, as long as he agrees to become a shareholder, I can secretly help him."

Du He savored Li Er's words carefully.

After a while, he suddenly smiled.

It is false that His Majesty wants to make a fortune, but it is true that he wants to take advantage of the petty gentry in Chang'an.

Five surnames and seven Wangs, these old nobles with great families and great careers, His Majesty doesn't want to touch them for the time being, but these small nobles in Chang'an who don't know how to live or die can be used to practice their skills.

Thinking about it, he looked at Zhao Yang with a smile: "How does Your Majesty want to invest?"

"Your Majesty said, the Duke alone is the master. His Majesty trusts you, and you will not let him down!" Zhao Yang said.

Du He made some calculations in his mind, and then stretched out two fingers: "I'm sorry to trouble Director Zhao to tell His Majesty to take out 20 guan from the internal treasury. After the matter is completed, I will return him 25 guan."

"That's daring!"

Zhao Yang left contentedly.

However, Li Ke asked puzzledly: "Teacher, this opportunity to make a fortune, why does the emperor want a piece of the pie, can't we do it ourselves? If you have [-] guan, you can recruit another [-] Guancheng."

Li Ke's heart ached at the thought of giving away [-] crowns.

Du He shook his head: "Something went wrong in this matter. Now, since Zhang Xuansu already knows that his secret has been discovered, he cannot guarantee that he will not be cautious. If he reveals the news, Su Hongchun and others will stop immediately. Our The plan has failed. Therefore, His Majesty needs to put on a show!"

"Does your father know how to perform?"

Performance, this word was learned by Li Ke from Du He.

The general meaning is that double-faced, three-handed, double-faced, double-faced, one-faced, one-faced, and one-faced... In short, it is not a good word.

Du He laughed and said: "Your Highness, it is said that knowing a son is better than a father. It seems that you still don't know our Majesty well. Your Majesty is the real king of acting, an absolute master!"

The next morning.

The 20 coins were quietly transported out of the palace, sent to Miaoxian Tower, and handed over to Du He.

This matter was done in a very secret way, except for the few close followers of Li Er, very few people knew about it.

At the same time, the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace was discussing the state affairs.

Zhang Xuansu also came to court. The only set of clothes on his body had been worn for several days without washing, and there was a foul smell all over his body. Many people who passed by him couldn't help covering their noses.

The political affairs have been discussed, and it is about to retreat.

At this moment, Li Er said: "My dear friends, recently, I heard that the price of food in Chang'an has risen, and the price has reached three times the market price. If this continues, the people will suffer. It was caused by Hu County Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory, Dai Qing’s family, you should go and investigate this matter, if that Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory really consumes so much food, let the court deal with it! Retire!"

Dai Zhou agreed with a bewildered expression.

And Zhang Xuansu, who had been in a trance just now, suddenly his eyes lit up.

Seeing the crowd rushing out, Zhang Xuan swore to hide behind the crowd, thinking while walking.

After leaving the palace, he couldn't wait to come to the Su residence.

This place is the mansion of Su Hongchun, a well-known grain merchant in Chang'an. It is extremely luxurious. There is an artificially dug small river in this huge mansion. From the front yard to the back yard, you can pass by boat. In the entire Su manor, there are five butlers alone. There are hundreds of servants.

When Su Hongchun saw Zhang Xuansu, he was surprised and said: "Master Zhang, why are you here? Didn't the palace already know about our large-scale grain purchases? Are you here to warn me to stop immediately?"

Zhang Xuansu sat down, took a sip of tea, and said energetically: "Brother Su, things are changing, I'm afraid we don't need to cover up..."

"Oh? Why?" Su Hongchun asked curiously.

Zhang Xuansu said with a smile: "Brother Su, a few days ago, the palace already knew that you and I had joined forces to purchase grain, and even positioned ourselves to drive up the price of grain. His intentions were to be punished, but why did the palace take such a long time and no one stopped it? And , For such a big matter, His Majesty wants me to balance Du He's occupation of my property and not to pursue it anymore? In fact, His Majesty's intention is already very obvious!"

"What intention?"

Zhang Xuansu talked eloquently: "In the early morning today, His Majesty suddenly intervened in the matter of food price increases, and asked Dai Zhou to go to Hu County to thoroughly investigate the matter! Thinking about it, Your Majesty does not want the pig tycoon's pig feed processing factory to continue." , but His Majesty promised Du He before that if the matter of food was resolved, he would not pursue the pig tycoon pig feed processing factory any more, so in order to maintain his prestige, he would naturally not change his words... But now it is different, we buy food, dream The group releases more and more grain, but instead of falling, the price of grain is getting higher and higher. This is the excuse His Majesty is looking for... Therefore, His Majesty turned a blind eye to our grain collection. Eye. Now, instead of stopping, we have to continue to collect grain, as much as we can. At that time, His Majesty will definitely order Du He to close down the pig feed processing factory of the pig tycoon, but Du He's temper will definitely not follow. At that time, Du He will be finished... At that time, if we sell the grain at a slightly lower price, we will not only be innocent, but also meritorious, Your Majesty will not say anything!"

Su Hongchun was dumbfounded and said in surprise: "Master Zhang, you have such a perfect plan, it's really admirable!"

"It's a trivial matter, I think back then..."

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Xuansu began to talk about his exhaustive strategy back then.

Under Zhang Xuansu's instigation, Su Hongchun took out all the cash that the family could use, and continued to buy food in a big way.

No matter how much food Dream Group put on the market, it was all eaten by Zhang Xuansu and Su Hongchun in the end.

And the price of food has grown so fast that it has risen to more than six times the normal market price.

All over the place, there was a lot of chaos.

Even in Chang'an, there were several incidents where people couldn't afford grain and smashed grain shops.
