Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 157 Those who raise food prices privately, beheaded!
"Tell King Liao, if you don't surrender! Then fight!"

Xu Shi was stimulated by the speed with which King Qin put down the rebellion, Li Jing directly issued an ultimatum.

Don't you make all of you Longzhou bureaucrats into males?
No, okay!Then keep playing!

On the other side, Xue Wanche and Feng An, who were seven days later, both received the news that King Qin had quelled the rebellion, and they stepped up their efforts at the same time.

Less than three months into the rebellion, calm was completely restored.

According to the rules, the army should return to Chang'an at this moment, but everyone on the road has received orders from Li Fangchen.

Binzhou, this matter has not been resolved yet!

Feng An left early because he wanted to appease the Lingnan Liaomin.

The army of more than 6000 people, as well as the auxiliary soldiers with more than half of the casualties, all guarded around Binzhou City.

"Your Highness, you're finally here." Liu Rengui was very excited, temporarily taking the post of city guard, which made him completely devastated. He never thought that a city would be so dilapidated.

People can't get enough meals twice a day, and the price of grain under the control of grain merchants in the city has skyrocketed.

Liu Rengui wanted to interfere, but he couldn't intervene at all. Most of the grain merchants were related to the Chang'an family, and some of them just didn't take him as the acting city guard seriously.

Li Fangchen returned to Binzhou and sat in the city guard's mansion with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"Did there be a famine last year?"

Qin Qiong shook his head, not hearing about the famine.

Li Jing and the others also looked extremely ugly. They couldn't intervene, but that didn't mean Li Fangchen couldn't intervene.

He is the King of Qin, the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty.

"Come here, I will arrest all those who raise the price of food without permission, and not one will be missed!"

"Yes!"

All members of the King Qin Battalion were mobilized, the whole city was under martial law, and every rice shop was destroyed.

"What are you going to do! Get out!" A grain merchant with a big belly was beaten to the ground before he could finish his ruthless words. Two soldiers stepped forward and held him back. shop.

The people in the city stood outside, looking terrified, but at the same time feeling happy in their hearts, they couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding!
A total of six wealthy merchants were dragged outside the city guard's mansion in this inhumane and humiliating way.

They who had been insulting and insulting in the past became weak at this moment.

Li Fangchen walked out of the city guard's mansion with a icy face, and all the generals followed behind him.

"What's the crime of raising the price of grain without permission?"

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, death penalty!"

"Come on, cut!"

The six swordsmen came out directly, and the grain merchant was scared to pee, so exciting?

There are bandits outside, and there are many unscrupulous grain merchants in the city. This kind of hype is so simple, what can't be understood?

"The six grain stores are confiscated. If there is any dissatisfaction, let the people behind them come to the king. The king will wait for him in Binzhou for three days!"

"Ow~"

The white wolf jumped out, went straight to those grain merchants, and was slapped back by Li Fangchen, "It's so disgusting that you want to bite? Be careful, I will castrate you!"

"woo"

Countless onlookers couldn't help applauding loudly.

"Forgive me~"

"Can't kill me, kill me."

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life"

It's a pity that no one paid any attention to their cries. The sword and ax were in place, and a white light flashed, followed by six heads falling to the ground.

Li Fangchen did what he said. On the same day, six food stores were closed down, and all the food was moved out.

Once weighed, Li Fangchen sent someone back to Chang'an with a memorial.

"Father and emperor personally ordered, son and minister returned to Binzhou, and found that the grain merchants in the city had deliberately raised the price of grain, violating the iron law of the Tang Dynasty, and beheaded in anger. Six grain shops were sealed off, and [-] dan were seized!"

Li Shimin threw the booklet in front of Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, "Show me a good look! In a mere Binzhou, six lowly businessmen without officials and titles can store [-] dans of food! Who gave them the courage! Who allowed them to carry it without permission? High food prices!"

A minister from the side came out and said: "Your Majesty, even so, King Qin shouldn't"

"Go away, where did the dog come from? King Qin is also your name!" Chai Shao stepped forward behind him and kicked him.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Cui Heng, don't these six people have anything to do with you?"

Cui Heng hastily bowed himself, "I dare not."

"Don't dare? Hmph, I see, you are very courageous! Where is Dali Siqing?"

Dai Zhou came out and said, "The minister is here!"

"Give me a strict investigation and see who is related to Binzhou in this whole Chang'an! Colluding with bandits, deliberately raising food prices, and even being so blatant when King Qin's army returned from victory, I want to see who it is!"

"Minister, Dai Zhou leads the order!"

For three days, whether it was long or not, Li Fangchen did not see anyone asking for food.

20 dan, simply calculated, is [-] catties!

It seemed that the other party didn't intend to come to ask for it, and would rather lose the 20 catties. Is this considered compensation for Li Shimin?

Li Fangchen patted the extremely well-behaved Ji Guang who was squatting beside him, and said to Li Jing, "Ling, the commander of the army!"

Li Jing bowed, "Yes, Commander!"

These grains could not be left in Binzhou. Li Fangchen ordered people to allocate [-] loads of grain, and the rest would be transported back to Chang'an.

The army marched out, and Liu Rengui, the city guard of Binzhou, continued to temporarily replace him. After the new city guard Di Zhixun arrived, he returned to Chang'an.

When parting, Liu Rengui cried loudly, Li Fangchen tried to comfort him, and finally temporarily fooled him with a pork feast.

Excited when you come, apprehensive when you return.

Li Fangchen felt a lot of guilt after being exposed to the lives of the Tang people in Binzhou and Fuzhou twice.

Obviously he could better repay Datang and seek a better life for the people of Datang, but he was so stupid that he never took it to heart.

I used to think that things like responsibility should only be put on the lips when needed.

Accustomed to dealing with everything in solitude and silence, he is extremely unfamiliar with everything in the outside world.

But now, he doesn't want to go on like this anymore, he wants to change Datang so that everyone can live a better life.

They are born hardworking, they work all their lives, respect their parents, and treat their wives and children kindly;
They could have had a better life, making all countries envious, jealous, and even desperate!
At this moment, Li Fangchen somewhat understood why so many reformers never turned back and died without regret.

"Aurora, you say I am too lazy? Too selfish?"

"Wang?" Aurora, who didn't know it, took Li Fangchen's self-questioning as allowing it to play, and jumped up and down excitedly.

It was the first time that Li Fangchen didn't reprimand Ji Guang. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the dedicated soldiers outside. Li Fangchen's eyes showed some appreciative look.

"The red sun is just rising, and its path is bright; the river flows out and flows into the ocean. The dragon dives into the abyss, and the scales and claws fly; the breast tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified."

The future Datang should be like this!

Born as a dragon, act as a dragon!Plant flowers in the earth, and thousands of dragons take off!
Ride the clouds and ride the fog straight to the sky, and within nine days Tang will be the only one!
"Prosper industry, engage in construction! Since I can help Datang do a good job, why do I have to be lazy and avoid trouble? Have I even lost the courage to face difficulties?"

　It's three o'clock today, Wan Pian is lazy, ha.
