The concubine is so charming

Chapter 296 Suppressing Grain Merchants
The victims' camp gradually stabilized, but the entire Rongcheng or most of Jiangnan fell into turmoil.

The garden where the Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce was located was full of big merchants who had been summoned temporarily, among which grain merchants were the most.

"This time I called everyone here temporarily. I think you all have some understanding of the recent situation. Prince Rong's son Mu Cixiu has sent people to the chamber of commerce for coordination many times. I hope that the grain merchants will be generous and donate or sell a batch of grain at a low price. , to help the victims, what do you guys think?"

Many people sat lazily on chairs, holding teacups in their hands, with disapproving smiles on their faces: "When King Rong was still in Rongcheng, he wanted to attack us grain merchants several times. But in the end, it’s not just a matter of nothing, besides, the current situation is not good, Mu Shizi has to try his best to seek stability, and he shouldn’t embarrass us ignorantly.”

"That's right, if we really start a quarrel, I'm afraid Rongcheng won't be able to hold on for three days. They say that our merchants are low-level, but open your eyes and take a closer look. From the top officials and dignitaries to the common people, which one is the least How about dealing with us merchants?? Without our communication, I don’t know how many people would starve to death on the spot.”

"That's true, President, you summoned us here in a hurry, maybe because you are afraid of this Mr. Mu and want to be a good person from it?"

Although the Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce has existed for many years, it is actually quite loose, and the president is only mediating with it, and there is limited what he can say. Hearing someone say this at this time, he couldn't help frowning: "Although we say so, our foundation is still It was built in the south of the Yangtze River, and Rongcheng is a very affluent area in the south of the Yangtze River. If Mu Shizi is offended to death, it will not be so easy to do anything in the future..."

As soon as the words fell, many grain merchants laughed loudly: "We pay attention to harmony and wealth in business, so naturally we can't offend people to death. Didn't Master Mu want food, so we can just give it, but the situation is so bad, we can only If you can squeeze a little out of your own rations, you won't have any more."

"That's right. Food is the paramount necessity of the people. As long as there are people eating, we have the opportunity to earn money. There is nothing to be afraid of. Even if we offend Shizi Mu, it is only a small area of ​​Rongcheng missing. Da'an Dynasty The place is huge, if not, there are also other races like the Huhe Tribe, by the way, I heard that Boss Qian made a big business some time ago, looking at it now, he is really proud of himself."

"Where, where, I just made a small amount of money by chance. I took the Southwest trade route, and earned the hard-earned money of running errands. There is no way to compare with you." Boss Qian turned the jade wrench in his hand, and said Modesty, but full of complacency, this trip, he got an empty-handed white wolf from the Huhe tribe, and made a lot of money.

Just when everyone was chatting lively, a bang was heard suddenly, and the closed hall door was suddenly kicked open.

"what happened?"

"Who is so courageous?"

Ming Chen walked in and saw a room full of people, he couldn't help but move his wrist: "It's a coincidence, I just save myself looking for people everywhere here."

"Who are you, why did you barge in so rudely?"

"Our master heard that this boss is very rich, so he wanted to borrow something from you. Come, according to the master's order, please go back!"

"Yes!"

"Wait, we didn't make a mistake, why should we be arrested?" Many people were sweating, and they couldn't help thinking about the identity of the famous minister, "Could it be that the Rong Palace has become so overbearing?"

King Rong's Mansion?
Seeing that the grain merchants misunderstood, the famous official had no intention of explaining: "Tie people up firmly, but I heard that these subordinates have many thugs with high martial arts skills, don't fall into the pit halfway."

"Let us go, why do you arrest people? Where is the law of the Da'an Dynasty?"

Ming Chen frowned, and took a closer look at the shouting Boss Qian: "Are you Qian Fu?"

"That's right, so what if it's me?"

"It's too noisy to keep him alone and the others to keep their mouths shut."

"Yes."

There was quite a commotion here, and the news spread quickly.

Before the people related to the merchants could find a way to find out what happened, they saw the mighty soldiers rushing aggressively into the place where the merchants stored their grain.A large amount of food and gold and silver were pulled out and transported to the camp where the victims lived.

This kind of movement inevitably disturbed the local officials. Some of them usually enjoy the filial piety of the merchants under their hands. Now that something happened, they would naturally go forward to ask a few questions, but before they could open their mouths, the famous officials showed up. With the token in his hand, he directly blocked all their words.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark and there was no news from the famous officials, Su Yao couldn't help feeling worried.

"Master, do you think things will go smoothly?"

"Don't worry, Ming Chen handles affairs very properly, and Feng Qi is on the sidelines to help, nothing will happen."

After waiting for more than half an hour, a letter from Flying Pigeon arrived.

Su Yao quickly went to Chu Feiyan's side, and leaned on his shoulder to read the contents of the letter: "Great, the food is already on the way. With such a large amount of food, these victims can finally feel at ease."

"En." Chu Feiyan handed the letter into Su Yao's hand, and seeing him read it carefully, he couldn't help asking, "Are you so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy," Su Yao let go of his heart, then knelt down beside Chu Feiyan, grabbed his hand and put it on his knee, "Master Xiang, I don't know what happened to make you feel sorry for him." The people are so indifferent. At first, I didn't care much about it, but after getting in touch with the victims more, I always felt that I couldn't stand by and watch. My father and mother are ordinary people. They may not have so much knowledge and understanding. There are too many reasons, but their hearts are extremely kind, and there are treacherous people among the people, but most of them have kind thoughts in their hearts, and they just want to live a good life."

Chu Feiyan lowered his eyes slightly, as if the hideous scene he saw when he was young appeared in front of him again, he blinked his eyes lightly, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and then held Su Yao's hand in his palm: "Do you think Just be happy."

Su Yao was moved in his heart, and gently snuggled into his arms: "Right now, those grain merchants are directly detained by force. Although the grain problem has been solved, it will inevitably make those merchants resentful. Some of them are operating legitimately. , Those who earn money in their duty will need to use some means to appease them at that time."

"Well, I will let someone arrange it, don't worry."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang." Su Yao put his arms around Chu Feiyan's neck, raised his head and kissed the corner of his lips.

Chu Feiyan embraced her in his arms, and then gently kissed the top of her hair: "You have been helping the victims of the disaster these days, don't be so anxious now, you can take a good rest."

"Well, then I won't go anywhere these two days, just stay with Mr. Xiang in the tent, okay?"

Chu Feiyan smiled: "I can't ask for it."
