The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 425 Zhu Yuanzhang: Someone is coming! Shen Wansan’s property was stolen!
Don’t you insist on this sincerity? !

He still had to rack his brains to avoid this loss, and then find another way to defraud the big money. How could it become that they had premeditated it? !
But seeing Qianlong's furious look and the angry looks from the Qing officials around him, Macartney's scalp went numb and he complained endlessly.

They are on someone else's territory now!
If you are not careful, your life may be at stake here.

This canopy really killed them!

Song.

"Shameless person!" Yue Pengju looked back and cursed in a low voice.

Yue Fei had a sullen face, and the Yue Family Army behind him also showed indignation on their faces!
As expected, none of these foreigners are good!

But no matter how angry they were, they could not deal with the four major grain merchants in the sky. The soldiers of the Yue Family Army turned their attention to the Jin Army on the opposite side.

The four major grain merchants are no good, and these Jin people are even less good!

They are all extremely abominable!
Yue Fei gave an order, and the two armies fought. In anger, the Yue family's army became more brave than before.

"Kill! Kill all these foreign sons of bitches!"

Jin Jun:? ? ?
[However, this is the foreshadowing of the layout of the four major grain merchants, and the real trap has just begun]

What the hell!

The ancients of all time and space were shocked!

The sources of soybeans for grain and oil merchants are all in the hands of these four major grain merchants, but this is just the beginning? !

[The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that due to extreme weather, North America was severely affected, resulting in a sharp decline in soybean production, and then world soybean prices soared]

[Then American capital intervened to hoard soybeans frantically, and the price of soybeans skyrocketed, nearly doubling to more than 4,000 yuan per ton]

[At the same time, these capitals claim that the price of soybeans will soon exceed 6,000 yuan per ton]

Li Shimin cursed with a sullen face. Considering that it happened to be a court meeting, he cursed in a low voice.

"Damn it, these brats are taking advantage of the situation to make a fortune!"

Although Li Shimin was well-educated, he had been crawling around in the military camp after all, and he was merciless when he scolded people.

However, after he finished cursing, he looked at the sky and couldn't help but feel worried.

With prices so high, life for those grain and oil merchants is probably going to be difficult.

The most important thing is that their lives are difficult, and the prices of grain and oil for Chinese people are likely to rise.

Spring and Autumn.

Guan Zhong frowned tightly. He used Lu Guo to cause Lu's economy to be in chaos, and then took the opportunity to drive up the price of grain, forcing Lu to submit to Qi.

The four major grain merchants are what he left behind.

It is very likely that it will not stop at driving up the price of soybeans, and there will definitely be backup plans behind it.

Bao Shuya looked at the sky, then glanced at the sullen Guan Zhong, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. There is no point in worrying about future generations."

"Who said I was worried?" Guan Zhong glanced at his friend, turned around and sat down.

"The ancestors can still fall into the trap with whatever is left, but it's really useless! I don't care!"

Guan Zhong frowned and scolded him, lowered his head and took a sip of wine. He couldn't help but secretly thought: He shouldn't be so stupid, right?

[Hearing this news, China’s grain and oil crushing companies couldn’t sit still. They united and signed an order for 9 million tons of soybeans with the United States at a price of 4,330 per ton]

[However, just when the order came into effect, the United States showed its ferocious fangs towards China and waved its slaughtering knife]

[The U.S. Department of Agriculture also announced that although their soybean-producing areas were hit by natural disasters, they were not affected, and the output was higher than in previous years] [Coupled with U.S. capital control, the international soybean price quickly dropped to 2,000 yuan per ton. , China’s grain and oil crushing enterprises collapsed, resulting in economic losses of more than 1.5 billion, and nearly a thousand enterprises went bankrupt]

[Foreign companies took advantage of the situation and purchased Chinese grain and oil companies at extremely low prices, resulting in 85% of grain and oil companies falling under foreign control]

"Cough cough cough!" Guan Zhong, who had been paying attention to the sky, choked on a mouthful of wine!
You are really that stupid and fell into someone else's trap!
Tang Dynasty.

"Shameless!" Li Shimin stood up from the throne in shock. Their goal was actually to control China's grain and oil companies!

He was both angry and frightened.

Although grain and oil are not as important as grain, salt and iron, they are still one of the important materials.

He actually fell into the control of Jingren like this!

This time it’s grain, oil and soybeans, but what if it’s grain?

Li Shimin only thought about it for a moment before he was so shocked that he was sweating profusely.

If it were the Tang Dynasty, and what was controlled was food, wouldn't it mean that the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty was in someone's hands?
No!

Li Shimin's eyes were sharp. It seemed that not only the salt and iron were in the hands of the imperial court, but also the food.

We can no longer allow those aristocratic families to hoard food. We must keep the food of the Tang Dynasty in the hands of the royal family!
Otherwise, if someone changes his mind someday and does this, the Li Tang Dynasty will probably fall apart!

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he stood up, pointed at the sky and cursed: "These businessmen are really not good people!"

The foreign merchants were shrewd and extremely bad, but the grain and oil merchants of later generations of China were extremely stupid!
He really shouldn't give these businessmen any room to breathe!
This group of guys who only care about profit should be controlled, otherwise they may give Ming a heavy blow at any time!
Regardless of whether they were causing trouble or they were used as a breakthrough by foreigners, it would be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty!
"Someone's here! They've confiscated all of Shen Wansan's property!"

Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to deal with the businessmen, and he also wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.

He chose Shen Wansan without any hesitation. This guy had caused him a lot of trouble back then and he had been putting up with it for a long time.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was secretly worried, and finally tried to persuade his father not to be too harsh on businessmen, but...

Sighing, Zhu Biao cheered up and began to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang earnestly.

Tang Dynasty.

"Higher prices?" Princess Taiping thought slightly and turned to look at Pei Tan.

"Now that we control Puzhou's salt, we may be able to follow the example of these four major grain merchants and force Li Longji to bow his head."

She retreated to Puzhou, intending to retreat in order to advance. She took a fancy to the large salt mine in Puzhou and planned to strangle the lifeline of salt and force Li Longji to bow his head.

If they could get the price of salt in their hands, they could manipulate it a little bit.

Maybe she could force Li Longji to admit defeat and give up the throne to her!

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che narrowed his eyes, "Grain and oil, grain..."

He tapped the low case with his fingers and said, "It may not be impossible to use this method to deal with the Huns."

At that time, the Huns might be able to be controlled without a single blow.

It even completely eliminated the troubles caused by the Huns and other foreign races in later generations.

Just as Liu Che was thinking, the scene on the sky screen changed!
[In 2005, they focused on our staple food again, and American capital began to fabricate lies about the food crisis, even claiming that million people would starve to death in the next few years]

[The four major grain merchants are crazy about raising the prices of corn and wheat, raising the prices of international staple food markets. In two years, the prices of wheat and corn have soared more than three times]
