Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 370

"Cheng Guogong...how did you think about that matter?"

Tang Guozuo showed a smile on his face, sitting on the official hat chair, holding a teacup, looking at Zhu Chunchen with a dignified expression, and said: "Recently, in the government and the countryside, under the influence of His Majesty's arbitrariness and insistence on resettling the refugees from Shanshan and Shanxi. , It can be said that the response was great.

Cheng Guogong, you don't know.

These days, the price of grain in Gyeonggi has skyrocketed by [-]%. If it weren't for the convenience store in Laoshizi, the price of grain or cloth would have doubled.

This is a huge profit, Linhuaihou and the others all..."

"Enough, don't mention these words again!"

Zhu Chunchen raised his eyebrows upside down, waved his hands and said, "I am the government of the state and will never participate in this matter. If you want to participate in private, I will pretend that I don't know.

But Marquis Lingbi, don't blame me for not reminding you.

His Majesty attaches great importance to the arrangement of refugees fleeing from Shanshan and Shanxi, and you can feel it when you are on duty in the Capital Governor's Mansion.

If it is called..."

"Hehe~"

Tang Guozuo laughed out loud, put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Zhu Chunchen: "Since Cheng Guogong has said so, then Benhou just doesn't participate.

How could this Marquis not know that His Majesty attaches great importance to the resettlement of the disaster victims in Shanshan and Shaanxi.

Duke Cheng, this Marquis still has some things to do, so Ben Marquis will resign first. "

After saying that, Tang Guozuo stood up, clasped his fists to Zhu Chunchen, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall. However, at the moment of turning around, a disdainful chuckle appeared on Tang Guozuo's face.

Li Hongji and the others have been involved in this kind of lucrative business. I think about you and think that all the benefits should not fall into the hands of others. Zhu Chunchen, you are really shameless. '

Tang Guozuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and cursed secretly in his heart: "You don't earn this money, but I earn it. My Lingbihou's mansion is not as big as your Cheng Guogong's family."

If the fuck is done well, you can earn at least 10,000+ taels of silver, and then I will eat hot and spicy food, so don't be jealous of your mother. '

Looking at the back of Tang Guozuo leaving, Zhu Chunchen, who was sitting firmly on the official hat chair, had a bright light in his eyes and a look of contempt on his face.

At that time, from behind the screen in the main hall, the housekeeper Zhu Kezhong came out, bowed to Zhu Chunchen respectfully and said, "Grandpa~"

"Who is Tang Guozuo with to drive up the price of food in Gyeonggi?"

Zhu Chunchen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "Also... have you found out the origin of this convenience store?"

Hearing this, Zhu Kezhong leaned forward and said: "If you go back to the Lord, Lingbihou, Linhuaihou, Dingxihou and others are going to secretly drive up the price of grain.

However, Marquis Lingbi and the others found this side of Gyeonggi, and a dozen small grain merchants were in front of them to push them up, and the disciples of their house controlled everything behind the scenes.

As for this convenience store, it is strange to say the least.

The small ones asked many ways, but they couldn't find out the backers behind them, as if they appeared out of thin air, but the food in their hands, including cotton cloth, etc., seemed to be a bottomless pit. "

"This time, Duke Cheng's government is not allowed to get involved in raising food prices."

Zhu Chunchen put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and said: "There are too many weird things in it, and the origin of this convenience store is definitely not simple.

I still have some things to do, I have to go to the palace, you go down to solve these things. "

"Here!"

Zhu Kezhong didn't dare to say more, he immediately bowed in response.

For a veteran relative like Zhu Chunchen, the background hidden behind the scenes is unimaginable for ordinary people.

For Zhu Kezhong's family slaves, for them, Chengguo Duke's Mansion is their heaven, and they will do whatever Zhu Chunchen tells them to do.

'This convenience store... Could it be that the emperor created it? '

Zhu Chunchen stood up, walked forward slowly, and said in his heart: "No, I'm going to go to the imperial court to test it out. If this matter can't be found out, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later."

Tang Guozuo, since you want to court death so much, then I will help you...'

……

"Lingbihou, what does Cheng Guogong mean?"

Seeing Tang Guozuo's late arrival, Li Hongji, who was waiting anxiously, frowned and stood up, asking.

In the main hall of Linhuaihou's Mansion, there are six or seven relatives gathered, all looking at Tang Guozuo in unison at this moment.

"Stop fucking mentioning it."

Tang Guozuo waved his hand and said: "This old fox is too timid. Before the Marquis finished speaking, he asked his mother to stop him."

"Lingbihou, didn't you say that we control more than a dozen grain merchants?"

Jiang Bingzhong frowned and said: "With these guys standing in front of us, even if Luo Yangxing's Jin Yiwei wanted to investigate secretly, it would be impossible to find us. This is a lucrative business!"

"Dingxihou, Benhou should also have a chance to talk about it."

Tang Guozuo sat down angrily, picked up the teacup, drank it in a big gulp, and then said: "This Marquis is going to talk about this, but Zhu Chunchen scolded him and warned him not to do this.

Thinking of this, I feel angry! "

Li Hongji, Jiang Bingzhong and the others frowned and looked at each other. It seemed impossible to pull Zhu Chunchen into the water.

"Straight mother, this Zhu Chunchen is really shameless. Do you really think that being promoted by His Majesty to be the governor of the Jingwei capital will win the trust of the emperor?"

"It's just his mother's words. He himself forgot what kind of virtue he was before, but none of the old men have forgotten."

"Forget it, since this old fox doesn't get involved, let's do it, one less person, and more fucking money, as far as I know, many merchants here in the capital have f**king moved .”

"That's right, many of these treacherous merchants are inextricably linked with the civil servants in the court. Even if the emperor wants to investigate, he can't find us!"

Not long after, the main hall of the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion heard bursts of angry curses, and Li Hongji and Jiang Bingzhong, relatives of honor in Beijing, all looked indignant.

"Everyone, everyone, you are right to think so."

Tang Guozuo stood up, stretched out his hand and signaled: "The Marquis is at the Governor's Mansion of the Jingwei Capital, and can always accompany the imperial court, but when it is time to be alert, you must be alert.

Benhou feels that... Jinyiwei, and even Changfan, have to buy some reliable people. After all, this time we want to get rid of the convenience store.

Ben Hou always felt that this convenience store had a lot of background, maybe it was run by a certain state prince, and the noise that would be caused by driving up the price of grain and cloth this time must be quite big.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, there is nothing less that should be done. "

Li Hongji, Jiang Bingzhong and the others nodded their heads in agreement with Tang Guozuo's words, and then everyone discussed what to do next, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money!
