I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 232 Xia Que ~ Go Get That...
In Anling, the merchants in Guanzhong felt a little unhappy because the Wuyan family "made ten times the profit while lying down".

But after Wu Yanji left, within a short time, the entire Du Mansion returned to its previous cheerful and joyful atmosphere.

——In the final analysis, everyone’s dissatisfaction with Wuyan’s is nothing more than “making so much money without taking any risks”;

And this dissatisfaction is based on the premise that the big guy's goal has been achieved and the price of food has been driven up to thousands of dollars.

In other words: From the perspective of these potbellied, red-faced businessmen, who exchanged cups with the people around them, and put their hands on the beauty in their arms, the overall situation of food was settled.

Food prices will definitely skyrocket.

The big guy will take back tens or hundreds of times of profits, and from then on he will become one of the best businessmen in Guanzhong, and even in the whole world!
As for Wuyanji, it was just a vulture who took a piece of the pie from everyone and made everyone feel a little awkward.

After Wu Yanji's vulture 'flew away', everyone shouted and cursed unhappily, and then returned to the joyful atmosphere again.

Anling Township, Du Mansion, the merchants' wine ponds and meat groves are very unhappy;
But in the palace of the Crown Prince in Chang'an City, Liu Sheng sat around the stove with his cousin Dou Pengzu and elder brother Liu Pengzu, stretching out his hands to warm the fire by the stove, and sniffing his nose from time to time.

——Compared with Du's Mansion in Anling City, which is 'surrounded by immortal energy', the Crown Prince's uterus at this time undoubtedly looks a bit shabby.

There is no censer smoking cigarettes, and there are not dozens of copper stoves burning raging fires to warm up the hall.

Even the oil lamps used for lighting were only lit three or five times, but it only made the dim side hall light up a little bit.

Obviously the entire uterus is filled with boxes of copper coins;

But for the three uncles and nephews who are sitting in a circle in the side hall and warming up by the fire at this moment, the money piled up in the uterus seems to have never existed...
"Ah..."

"Suck it!"

"Uh... Ah Sheng."

"—this censer does not burn incense, I can understand;"

"The stove only lights one, and I can still accept it."

"What's the matter, even the oil lamps, are you reluctant to order a few more?"

Sucking his nose, and complaining in doubt, Liu Sheng laughed and shook his head.

Covering his mouth and nose with his scorched hands to warm his frozen red nose, Liu Shengcai smiled and turned sideways, looking at Xia Que beside him.

"Summer sparrow~"

"Tell my brother: Why do you like to light incense burners so much in the homes of princes and noble relatives, and in the palace halls?"

The easy words made Xia Que rush forward, stand between Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng, and bowed slightly.

"Incense is burned in the palace, mostly ladies, who want to make the palace full of fragrance;"

"As for princes and noble relatives, they don't want to be smoked by the lamp oil smoke, so they burn incense in the furnace to cover up the lamp oil smoke."

The calm tone of the words only made Liu Pengzu frown for a while, but it also made Liu Sheng's face quietly flush with pride.

After Xia Que bowed and returned to the original position, Liu Pengzu looked at Liu Sheng with a strange expression, and asked, "Because spices are too expensive, so A Sheng is unwilling to burn incense;"

"You can't burn incense, and it can't cover the lampblack."

"—So, Ah Sheng simply didn't light the lamp?"

The inexplicably weird question made Liu Sheng nod his head with a smile, and let out a long breath full of sighs.

"Brother has never been a family man, so he really doesn't know Chai Migui~"

"—It's not easy to make money!"

"But if it costs money, it's too easy;"

"It's like a river, rushing out?!"

"If you don't worry about it, in the future, how can I support this huge uterus with hundreds of people..."

As he spoke, Liu Sheng still shook his head and sighed, put his palm on his forehead, put on a posture of really 'worrying about money', and sighed for a while.

But on both sides of Liu Sheng, Liu Pengzu, Dou Pengzu's uncle and nephew looked at each other, and they all turned their heads to look outside the gate of the palace. cash box······

"So much money, isn't it enough for Ah Sheng to spend?"

Liu Pengzu asked in surprise, but Liu Sheng shook his head hastily.

"The money can't be moved."

"This is all money from the Shaofu, not mine."

···
"Your Majesty, didn't you give the young master the authority to 'freely use 100 million yuan'?"

Dou Pengzu asked again, this time, Liu Sheng turned his head away with dodge eyes.

On his mouth, he did not forget to mutter: "100 million yuan, what is it for..."

"If you have money, you have to save some money..."

As soon as these words came out, the two 'Peng Zu', uncle and nephew, froze completely in place.

After a long time, Liu Pengzu muttered in a low voice: "In the past, I didn't realize that Ah Sheng was so stingy..."

An ambiguous murmur, but Liu Sheng only turned his head away with a stiff smile, as if he didn't hear his brother's complaint.

——He has to save the money!
——No matter how rich you are, you have to save money!
Thinking of this, Liu Sheng stretched out his hand with a normal face, and continued to warm the fire by the stove, but quickly fiddled with the abacus in his heart.

"If one oil lamp is turned on for one day, it will burn half the price of lamp oil, ten lamps, that's twenty dollars?!"

"There are hundreds of oil lamps up and down in the uterus, which cost tens of thousands of dollars every day!"

"—Ten thousand dollars a day, a million dollars a month, and a year, that's ten million dollars!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Whoever wants to burn this money will burn it, I won't burn it anyway..."

Fiddled with the abacus in his mind, Liu Sheng finally took a deep breath with lingering fear, and turned sideways as if he had made up his mind.

"Go, put out two more lights."

"It's all money..."

As soon as Liu Sheng gave an order, Xia Que hurriedly left sideways, and blew out two more of the five lamps that were on in the hall.

And beside the stove, Liu, Uncle Dou and nephew 'Peng Zu', listened to Liu Sheng still muttering 'all the money is burned', and they were completely speechless...
In the already dark hall, after Xia Que blew out two more lamps, it became darker again.

It even turned the stove in front of the three uncles and nephews into the strongest light source in the hall!

Fortunately, with this stove, Liu Sheng didn't feel bad about 'burning a lot of money'.

——The dry firewood burning in the stove was picked up one by one by Xia Que, without spending money at all...

"If you know that the son is so 'simple', Your Majesty, you will be happy, right?"

"Even the spirit of the late emperor in heaven should feel relieved..."

After a long silence, Dou Pengzu finally couldn't hold back, and uttered such a sarcasm;
But when Liu Sheng heard the words, he smiled and lowered his head, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of his uncle's words.

"Cousin uncle praises me, hehe..."

"Muse..."

···
"—Young Master, is there any food for sale~"

I don't know how long they had been cooking around the stove in this dim hall, but a loud shout from outside the hall finally made the three of them raise their heads together.

Seeing the visitor with his hands behind his back, looking strangely at the dark hall, Liu Pengzu and Dou Pengzu couldn't help but look sideways at Liu Sheng.

Sensing the weirdness in his brother and cousin's eyes, Liu Sheng also felt a little embarrassed.

After struggling in secret for a long time, I finally gritted my teeth!
"Summer sparrow~"

"—Go, order two more..."

"Cough cough, light another lamp."

···
···
······
Liu Sheng's stinginess undoubtedly refreshed the lower limit in the hearts of Dou Pengzu, Liu Pengzu's uncle and nephew;
But Liu Sheng stood up with his usual expression, and waved his hands outside the room carelessly.

"Marquis Wuyang is here~"

"Come in, come in and sit."

The cordial and easy-going greeting made the people in Fan City even more weird.

Standing outside the hall door, he looked suspiciously into the hall for a while before crossing the threshold with a stiff smile.

Walking forward, Liu Shengfei not only didn't get up, but even greeted his elder brother Liu Pengzu beside him, to make room for the people of Fan City...

"Young master, this is...?"

The question was full of surprise, but Liu Sheng still couldn't let the faint smile fade away.

Still spreading his hands, he was warming by the stove, and only raised his head to look at the Fanshi people, then continued to look at the stove in front of him with a smile.

On his mouth, he did not forget to say relaxedly: "Marquis Wuyang, do you still want to buy food?"

"Didn't you already buy 80 stones before?"

"--how?"

"—Son, don't you want to sell?"

The gloomy question caused Liu Pengzu, Dou Pengzu's uncle and nephew to turn their heads sideways and look at the people of Fan City, only suddenly with a touch of surprise!
And after a while, as Liu Sheng said the word "sell" with a smile, the two uncles and nephews turned around again, casting even more suspicious gazes on Liu Sheng who was beside him.

"Sell;"

"Of course."

"-A few days ago, the Shaofu just shipped back more than 700 million shi of grain from Shu County and Hanzhong."

"Now, there is Shanglin warehouse."

"It's just Junhou, can you still afford the money to buy food?"

Ignoring the astonished gazes of his elder brother and cousin, he asked the Fanshi people this question, and Liu Sheng finally raised his head and fixed his eyes on the Fanshi people.

"The price is still one hundred yuan for one stone, one gold for one hundred stone."

"As long as you can afford it, I'll sell as much as you can buy."

"—If the Lord has the financial resources to buy 700 million shi of grain from Shanglincang in one go, I will be happy and relaxed."

"It's just a king..."

"Ok?"

Still squatting on the bench next to the stove, still stretching out his hands to warm the fire, Liu Sheng just raised his eyebrows and asked, which immediately made Fanshi people feel a sense of anger in their hearts!
Thinking back to the day before yesterday, the price of the steed I saw in Dongshi was only twenty gold!
But Marquis of Wuyang, who is a dignified man in Fan City, and Chehou, who has [-] households in the city, searched the entire Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, but he couldn't make up twenty gold...
Thinking like this, the people of Fan City felt even more restless;
But on the bright side, he forced an awkward smile, walked forward and sat down on the bench opposite Liu Sheng.

The two of them began to talk across the stove.

"My lord, the 700 million stones of grain~"

"Ah······"

"The price is [-] gold and [-] million copper coins, no matter what, I can't afford it..."

A little embarrassed to admit that he 'couldn't afford it', and secretly looked at Liu Sheng's face, Fan Shiren smiled and stretched out his hand, imitating the appearance of the three uncles and nephews, and started a fire by the stove.

While roasting on the fire, he did not forget to continue to say: "I just heard that the young master got another 700 million shi of grain and put it in Shanglin warehouse."

"If you don't sell out the 700 million shi of grain, son, you will have to work hard for a while."

"So, I discussed with several other princes whether we should borrow some money to buy the 700 million shi of grain..."

"—It's also to let the young master finish the errands in hand earlier;"

"Hey, hey..."

It was obvious that Liu Sheng had no idea what he said, and Liu Sheng understood it immediately.

But even though he had already guessed the purpose of the Fanshi people and the 'other dukes', Liu Sheng still nodded with a gentle smile, and said with a normal expression, "Okay."

"When Marquis Wuyang and a few other friends have borrowed money, send the money to the Taiwo."

"As long as the money can be delivered, I will sell the 700 million shi of grain in Shanglincang."

Hearing this, the people of Fan City couldn't help but froze slightly.

Hesitating to speak, he looked at Liu Sheng, seeing that Liu Sheng still looked 'unrepentant', the people of Fan City could only smile stiffly and bow their heads.

After a long time, he laughed and whispered again: "Young Master, it seems that you don't understand what I mean;"

"What I mean is: we want to borrow the money to buy the 700 million shi of grain..."

"—However, you don't have to worry, my lord."

"As long as you sell the 700 million shi grains from Shanglincang to us, we can pay you back soon!"

"At most half a month, [-] gold, or [-] yuan, I will definitely send this womb personally!"

Ben was still talking shyly, and at the end, the tone of Fan City people was inexplicably solemn.

It was as if he was swearing to Liu Sheng: As long as the young master agrees, we can really pay back the money very quickly!

But on the opposite side of the Fan City people, Liu Sheng, who was separated from the Fan City people by the stove, heard that the Fan City people had come to understand their intentions, and there was a faint hint of playfulness between his brows.

——Of course Liu Sheng knows what it means to be a Fanshiren.

As long as Liu Sheng sold the 700 million shi of grain in Shanglincang, Liu Sheng would no longer have the final say on the price of grain in Guanzhong.

When the price of grain soared, the people of Fan City resold the grain bought with "borrowed money", and the money borrowed from Liu Sheng would naturally be repaid soon.

But it is obvious: what Liu Sheng wants is by no means simply "sell out the food in his hand";
From the beginning to the end, what Liu Sheng wanted to do was to stabilize food prices...
"Marquis Wuyang's words made me a little confused."

"——I will borrow money from Marquis Wuyang and several other princes, and let you use the borrowed money to buy the grain in my hands?"

"Isn't this the same as: you 'bought' 700 million shi of grain from me without spending a penny?"

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, the people of Fan City just stood up with a smile on their faces, and corrected in a low voice: "It's a borrowing..."

"Take it as a son, and 'loaned' 700 million shi of grain to us."

"Soon, we will send the money for buying the 700 million shi of grain to the young master at the price of one hundred qian per shi and one hundred shi per gold..."

He said with a smile, and in the end, the stiff smile on Fan Shiren's face even became a little flattering.

But as Liu Sheng shook his head slowly, that flattering smile, along with the conscience of Wuyang Houfan City people, disappeared into the world in an instant.

"What I sell is cheap food;"

"One stone is one hundred renminbi, one gold is one hundred stone, and the price is clearly marked, so no one can deceive you."

"Since it's a business, pay attention to both money and goods."

"—Marquis Wuyang wanted to 'save some trouble' for me, and I am very grateful to Marquis Wuyang."

"But if you want to buy food, Marquis Wuyang, you have to pay..."

···
"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, this is a truth recognized by the world."

"If you don't pay, you want to get the goods first, and then pay for the goods after selling them. There is no such reason..."

Shaking his head with a smile, Liu Sheng finally turned his eyes away from the people of Fan City after saying the words of refusal.

"Marquis Wuyang, let's go back."

"I still say that;"

"—As long as I can pay, Shanglincang has 700 million shi of grain, and I will sell as much as the king wants."

"But if you can't afford the money, Junhou, don't think about empty-handed white wolves anymore..."

Saying this last word again, Liu Sheng saw his upper body bent slightly, concentrating on the fire.

Although he didn't expressly say to see off the guests, this posture is undoubtedly to invite the people of Fan City to "do what they want".

Seeing Liu Sheng's attitude, the faces of the people in Fan City suddenly turned cold.

Thinking of the 700 million shi of grain in Shanglincang and the already stretched expenses at home, he gritted his teeth secretly!
Standing in front of the stove, he stared at Liu Sheng for quite a while;

Seeing that Liu Sheng was still unmoved, Fan Shi became anxious and took another step forward.

"The food in Shanglincang, son, are you really not going to sell it to me?"

"—If you know the Shanglin Cangling Order, you can be regarded as having some friendship with me."

"If you don't want to sell it, what happened to Shanglincang in the future..."

"Tsk tut;"

"700 million stones of grain..."

"Young master, I'm afraid you can't bear this responsibility?"

Swish!
The words that were obviously threatening, even warning, only made the three of them raise their heads in unison!

Liu Pengzu and Dou Pengzu were already angry!

Even Liu Sheng, looking at the people of Fan City, suddenly brought a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes!
In the side hall, the people of Fanshi turned their backs to the door of the hall, and their meaningful eyes locked on Liu Sheng who was on the opposite side of the stove;

Liu Pengzu, Dou Pengzu's uncle and nephew looked sideways at the Fanshi people and Liu Sheng, with sullen eyes, and locked on the Fanshi people beside them.

But Liu Sheng, who was facing the direction of the palace gate, glanced at the people of Fan City with great interest;
Then he smiled, shook his head to himself, patted his thigh lightly, and stood up from the stove.

"Summer sparrow~"

With a soft cry, Xia Que hurried forward, and Liu Sheng had already stood up;
"Go to the Lieutenant's Mansion;"

"For me, send a message to Zhidu."

With a sigh of relief, Liu Sheng has already stepped forward and stood in front of the people of Fan City.

He raised his head with a half-smile, and looked at the flustered face of the people in Fan City;
In the stove beside him, there was a warm yellow flame, but against Liu Sheng's half-smile face, it made people's heart palpitate even more.

"Tell Zhidu: From today onwards, no one is allowed to approach within a three-mile radius of Shanglincang."

"Without the edict of the queen mother and father, no one can move even a single grain of rice from Shanglin warehouse."

"Those who dare to violate..."

"—From Zhou Yafu, Prime Minister Tiaohou, and Kaifeng Hou Taoqing, the censor doctor;"

"Yi, San, Clan..."

···
"Your Majesty, let's go."

"Let's see if the commander of Shanglin Cang can put a fire on Shanglin Cang for Junhou's sake..."

···
"Oh, right;"

"With what happened today, if something really went wrong in Shanglincang~"

"—Junhou, it seems that you can't wash away the relationship?"

"Um???"

　Two more completed.

　　Good night, fathers.
