This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 271 Volume [-] Businessman is the sharpest!
For Li Chengqian, what he fears most is that everyone will start to relax.

This is too dangerous for the royal court of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he single-handedly planned this conflict, so that the gentry could take action to ban the export of food.

Very well, those people from the gentry are really cooperating.

At this moment, the people sent by Wang Dequan finally arrived.

He was galloping fast, changing horses along the way without changing people, and then hurried back to Riyue Mountain.

Of course, compared to the Great Tang court, he is still a little slower, which also shows from the side that the current Great Ming court still has many shortcomings.

"Your Highness, shopkeeper Wang's messenger has arrived, just outside the big tent." Liu San came in and said.

Li Chengqian immediately nodded and asked him to bring the person in.

People were brought in, but this person was carried in.

The messenger was about to get up to salute, but Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just give me the letter from shopkeeper Wang, and you go down and have a good rest."

It can be seen that this guy must have rushed back from Chang'an non-stop, already exhausted and paralyzed.

The messenger took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu San. He was relieved to see Liu San handing the letter to Li Chengqian.

"Send him to Doctor Chao for a good recuperation." Li Chengqian said.

With that said, Li Chengqian opened Wang Dequan's letter.

To be honest, you can guess the general content without looking at him.

It's just that what he never expected was that those nobles actually burned a million stones of grain!
This was something he didn't expect.

"Your Highness, what did Shopkeeper Wang say in his letter?" Li Qinjian asked.

In fact, everyone has guessed something, and it is nothing more than related to the Tang Dynasty's ban on exporting grain, otherwise Wang Dequan would not have sent the letter back in such a hurry.

Li Chengqian threw the letter over and said, "Look for yourself."

After he read the letter, he had already concluded that the torch of the million stone grain was destroyed by the gentry.

Its purpose was to fight back against him, but he didn't expect that this time the gentry would be willing to spend money.

"This... Datang's worries seem to be not unreasonable." After reading the letter, Li Qinjian said.

The rest also nodded.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Are you sure you understand?"

"Ah?" Li Qinjian was taken aback for a moment, then took the letter back and read it again, "There is nothing negligent, natural disasters are predicted, and Datang's move is based on Datang's standpoint, no problem."

Shaking his head, Li Chengqian said: "Thanks to you fighting with the gentry for so many years, you didn't see that there was something strange about this fire?
Within a few days, food from all over the country entered Beijing, but a fire broke out that night?Is there such a coincidence? "

Everyone was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, what could be wrong with the fire?

"Your Highness, could it be that the purpose of this fire is to prohibit food from leaving the country?" Li Qinjian responded and said.

Puxiuo said in disbelief: "No way, that's a million stones of grain. If you really want to eat it, it will be enough for my royal court of Ming Dynasty to eat for more than a year. If you save it, two years will not be a problem..." With this million stones of grain, my court of the Ming Dynasty will not have to worry about grain for at least two years.

Instead of setting fire to it and banning the export of grain, it is better to sell us directly. After these two years, we may not still need the grain of Datang.

In the past, I only heard that Tubo would waste food so much. When did Tang Dynasty start to waste food like this? "

He couldn't believe it, it was food, and it burned as soon as it was fired, how careless is that?They are all on par with those heartless people in Tubo.

"Could it be because of the paper?" Wang Xuance, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "So the nobles are warning us?"

Hearing what he said, Han people like Xiao Yue immediately understood what was going on.

Immediately pounding the table, he said: "These damned gentry are really ruthless! This is food, a million stones of food, and it will be burned as soon as it is said to be burned. This is the harvest of so many people's hard work for a year!"

Since he took office as the Deyang Order, he also has a look of worrying about the country and the people. Hearing this makes him angry.

The rest of the people gradually came to terms with it.

They still know something about the gentry of Datang.

It was those guys before, and they were not allowed to open a forum. Up to now, the forum is still just a place in name only.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "They are telling us that they have food, but they will not sell us even if they burn it!"

For him, whether the fire was man-made or an accident, anyway, he just pinned the shit on the gentry. As for the evidence, what evidence does he need?
He is not an official of Datang, why does he need evidence?As long as he can justify himself.

At this moment, everyone was instantly angry.

And this is also Li Chengqian's goal. If you have nothing to do, it's good to make an enemy for you.

Hatred can sometimes get in the way, but when used well, it is also a kind of motivation.

"Then we can't just watch, since they have all shot, we have to react." Xiao Yue said.

Young people are the most impulsive.

Li Chengqian said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, now that we have figured out what's going on, the first problem now is to solve our food problem. They won't be able to eat our food if we leave them." Is there a way to survive?

Now, the best counterattack is to let them see that without their food, we are still alive and well. "

The enemy has been established, the position has been corrected, and the goal has been established, then it is time to solve the problem.

This is also the link that Li Chengqian cares about the most.

"Pu Shangshu, how much grain does the household department have in stock now?" Li Chengqian asked.

Puxiluo said: "Now there are still 15 shi of grain stored in the household department, and there are still [-] shi of surplus grain in the Changming grain shop."

"What about the rest of the grain shop?" Li Chengqian asked, "Since all their grain has come in, it belongs to my Daming royal court, and this has to be counted."

"On Riyue Mountain, all the grain shops add up to about [-] shi of grain." Li Qinjian said, he needs to be clear about this.

Xiao Yue also said, "Deyang City also has [-] shi of grain."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "In this way, we still have 25 shi of grain, which can last for a while."

"Your Highness, you forgot that the wedding party will be back soon, and there is still 13 shi of grain in the dowry." Gao Chunxing said meanly, "Although it is said that the Tang Dynasty banned the export of grain, this wedding dowry , he can't stop him, right?"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately slapped the table: "He dares! If even the dowry food is banned by this king, then their send-off team will go back wherever they came from!"

He could really do this, everyone laughed when they heard this.

In this calculation, they still have nearly 40 shi of grain, which seems to be able to last for a while.

"Then, will the Ministry of Households stop the trade with Datang?" Pusiro said, "Since they forbid the export of grain, should we ban the export of paper?"

Li Chengqian smiled: "If you really want to do this, then you will fall into the hands of those gentry, they just want us to do this!"

"Then what should we do?" Pusiruo asked, although he was the Minister of the Household Department, he really didn't make any achievements in business.

"Who has a grudge against money?" Li Chengqian said, "Sell, keep selling, the more you sell, the more headaches they will have."

Wang Xuance nodded: "That's true. When I was studying in the past, it was really hard to find paper. If I had such cheap paper back then, why would I..."

He didn't say the rest. At the beginning, he bowed himself to the Yang family for the sake of studying, but it was precisely because of his bow to the Yang family that he gained his current status.

Xiao Yue said: "Yes, we don't care about them. I don't believe in anything. I can't buy food with money. Although the Tang Dynasty is rich and prosperous, there are so many countries in the world. Datang food survived?"

"Not to mention, earning their money and buying food from other places, those old men will probably die of anger." Gao Chunxing also laughed.

Qi Bi He Li even laughed and said: "It's a big deal, the general will go out with the army to grab it. Now the Ming court has [-] people controlling strings. When the Ming court is really in danger, temporary recruitment can also be done." Gather an army of nearly [-], and the great general will lead the army to feed on the enemy."

"A lot of merchants from Tubo and the Western Regions have come to Riyue Mountain recently. They are also very interested in some things from the Ming court. My ministers will go to contact them when they come back." Li Qinjian also said.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly relaxed again.

Pusiruo and Yi Yuanxi had the feeling they had when Riyue Mountain was poor and empty.

Very mysterious, but very comfortable.

Abandoning the retreat, it seemed that was the case.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

This is what he wants to see.

"Since that's the case, let's go get busy." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "How can a living person be suffocated by urine? It's really a desperate time. According to General Qibi's words, this king brought the Ming court to count 10 people." People, snatch anyone who doesn't like it, after all, there is still a way to survive.

Hundreds of thousands of starving ghosts, no matter who sees them, they will probably panic! "

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Of course, they all knew that Li Chengqian would not do such a thing.

After following Li Chengqian for so long, they still know who Li Chengqian is.

No matter what kind of trouble he encountered, he seemed to have a solution.

This is the confidence Li Chengqian brought to them.

Before, everyone just thought that now that they had Datang as their backing, they all had a way out.

Now, Datang's backing is unreliable. Although he is a little regretful, he is not in despair.

What is this?Almost everyone present here followed Li Chengqian from scratch to today. In Li Chengqian's words, what kind of predicament have we never encountered?

What are you afraid of him doing?

After the crowd dispersed, Li Chengqian smiled.

Very good, this kind of atmosphere is the atmosphere that truly achieves Wang Tu's hegemony.

As for the way out, fuck off.

What retreat do you want?Those who have a way out are reluctant to work hard.

In the afternoon, Liu San came again.

"Your Highness, Murong Xiaojun's envoy is here, and there are 99 other soldiers coming with him."

Upon hearing his words, Li Chengqian smiled.

The matter discussed with Li Qinjian and others before has been completed.

"Let Wang Xuance take care of this matter, don't worry about nonsense, let me take care of it." Li Chengqian waved his hand and dismissed it.

Liu San heard the words and left immediately.

In the final analysis, the royal court of Ming Dynasty is still not on the right track, otherwise Li Chengqian really doesn't need to do everything by himself.

Although the officials made some arrangements, after all, everyone was a big girl on the sedan chair. For the first time, they were still lacking in experience.

And in the outer city of Riyue Mountain, shopkeepers of various families are gathering at Changming Restaurant for a drink.

Everyone's mood is not high.

Chang'an's prohibition of food exportation has a big impact on them.

"Tell me, what should I do?" asked the eldest grandson's family.

Cheng Zhenghao shook his head and said, "What can we do? The court doesn't allow food to leave the country, so what can we do?"

When everyone heard the words, they shook their heads again.

"The point is, if there is no food, will the goods of Changming Commercial Bank be sold?" Someone expressed his concern.

Before, Changming Commercial Bank and their transactions were settled directly with grain, but now that there is no grain, they don't know what to do.

Someone asked, "Have you ever asked?"

"I've asked." Someone said, "The clerk of the commercial firm said that if there is food, it will be shipped, and if there is no food, it will be shipped when the food arrives. Hey, what is this court thinking? There is a difference between the Ming court and the Tang Dynasty." Is it?"

It's not just the officials of the Daming court who have this kind of thinking, in fact, many people have this kind of thinking.

"Speak carefully!" However, as soon as he said this, someone immediately said, "The imperial court has its own concerns, and it is not something I should or can do."

"But how much will be lost in this day, do you know!" The man immediately dissatisfied.

The point is that they are all the shopkeepers of each family, and it is their duty to make money for the family.

In another box, merchants from Jingyang like Huang Song also gathered together.

They are no different from those big families. After the food at home was sold out, they bought and transported food from the territory of Datang recently. Now the food is not allowed to leave the country, which makes them embarrassed.

"In this way, it will be difficult to do business." Someone said.

"Why don't we go back too, once food is banned in the Tang Dynasty, the court of the Ming Dynasty will probably be in chaos."

Huang Song didn't think so, and shook his head: "I've been calculating, after we came, at least 30 shi of grain entered Riyue Mountain, that is to say, even if Datang banned the export of grain , but within a short period of time, there will still be no food crisis in the imperial court of Ming Dynasty."

"Then what do you mean?"

Huang Song smiled and said, "Don't you think this is an opportunity for us?"

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" said the businessman surnamed Yang. He was the guy who left Li Chengqian's house in Jingyang and was going to report to Cui's house.

"I have an idea. I don't know if you dare to do it. If it is done this time, it will not only make money, but may also have other benefits." Huang Song said.

Someone said impatiently, "Just say what you have in mind."

"I want to buy grain with all my belongings!" Huang Song said, "Besides, I heard that the bank in Riyue Mountain has a loan business, so I'm going to try it out and raise the most money to buy grain."

When everyone heard this, they felt that this guy was crazy, and the businessman surnamed Yang even stood up directly: "You want to secretly transport food from Datang? If you are caught, it might be a felony of ransacking your family and exterminating your family!"

"Who said I went to Tang Dynasty to buy grain?" Huang Song said angrily, "I plan to go to Tuyuhun, or Tubo, or Western Turkic. Of course, Tuyuhun is the best."

"Does Tuyuhun have food for you?" Someone shook his head, "What are you thinking? The Ming court is short of food. It's because of the snowstorms in the past, and Tuyuhun has food?"

Huang Song said: "Did you get a question wrong, the poor people in Tuyuhun who have no food, those high-ranking officials and nobles, when did you see that they have no food?
Don't you know what Jingyang was like a few years ago?Are you hungry for a meal, or is there a day when you can't open the pot at home?

Even if we are merchants, don't those dignitaries in Tuyuhun have any food in their homes?

what are you thinking?

No matter what kind of disaster it is, it will always be the common people who suffer!When did the dignitaries suffer disaster?

Moreover, when a disaster happened, it wasn't those dignitaries, nobles and rich people who came out to set up porridge sheds to serve porridge? "

These words are very realistic, but very true.

It seems to have been like this for thousands of years.

Except for changing dynasties or being targeted by the emperor, those high-ranking officials have really never suffered disasters.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

This fucking seems to be the way.

"I've thought about it." Huang Song said, "If we can help the Daming Royal Court solve the food crisis this time, then it will definitely be more convenient for us to do business in the Daming Royal Court in the future.

Think about Li Qinjian, think about Wang Dequan and others, what is the difference between them and us in the past?
This is an opportunity, even if it is not enough for us to be like them, it will definitely allow us to gain a firm foothold in the Ming court. "

Hearing what he said, everyone was moved.

As Huang Song said, this is indeed an opportunity.

"Then why don't we look for Li Qinjian?" someone said.

Businessmen, they are all fucking human beings!

He didn't mean to seek convenience from Li Qinjian, but to convey their behavior to Li Chengqian's ears through Li Qinjian.

If you don't leave your name behind when you do good deeds, what's the picture?
Isn't it just to make you say hello to me?

"Let's talk about it first. Although this time is an opportunity, the risk is not small. You first think about who is going to do it with me." Huang Song said, "Don't force it, stay if you want to do it, and stay if you don't want to do it Yes, after drinking this glass of wine, let's get together and relax."

After finishing speaking, Huang Song raised his wine glass.

The rest of the people also got up immediately and drank it all in one gulp.

Very well, this time, no one flinched.

The main reason is that Li Qinjian and the others who are almost role models stand there, giving them a glimmer of hope.

If they could cross that level, even if they were desperate, they would all want to try!

This is a good thing that future generations will benefit from!
"Since everyone has made a decision, let's raise money first. I'll invite Li Shilang now. In the evening, this place is still the place to drink!" Huang Song said upon seeing this.
