False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Liu's Grain Shop.

"This rough grain was only three hundred cents per stone just now. Why has it increased to fifty cents now?"

"Is it too expensive? Just don't buy it if it's too expensive."

Nowadays, there is no need to worry about selling the food in the capital!

"Do you want to buy it or not?"

The waiter in this shop spoke arrogantly and had an impatient look on his face.

The entire grain shop street was crowded with people buying grain, fearing that they would not be able to buy even 350 cash of coarse grain if it was too late.

"Buy it, I'll buy it!"

The rickety man gritted his teeth, took out about a hundred large coins from his lining pocket, and prepared to hand it to the waiter.

call out!

At this moment, an arrow suddenly appeared and quickly nailed the signboard of Liu's grain store.

The dust falling from the plaque happened to make the waiter look disgraced.

This movement made everyone present dumbfounded.

"The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department is handling the case, and those who are idle should stay away!"

Then groups of soldiers appeared and surrounded the entire Liu's grain store.

This, what is this for? !

When the waiter saw this fight, he was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva and ran into the inner hall in a panic.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper's!"

Lin Chen looked at the different expressions that the people buying food looked at him after he appeared.

Most of them were afraid, but also surprised and doubtful. They didn't understand what the officials from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were doing here.

At the same time, the shopkeeper of the grain shop, who was summoned by the waiter, looked pampered and round, with a melon-pipe hat on his head and a silk robe, and he looked like a human.

Seeing Lin Chen's official uniform, the latter showed no timidity at all, he smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

"I heard earlier that the Five Cities Military and Horse Division has appointed a new governor, and I was lucky enough to meet him today."

Even though the shopkeeper was smiling, he was cursing in his heart.

This new leader comes with soldiers, and he doesn't look like a leader who can spend a hundred taels of silver.

Lin Chen ignored the other party's politeness, stepped forward, reached out and fished for the grain bag.

This so-called brown rice is also mixed with chaff, sand and gravel.

Lin Chen didn't bother to check other bags and asked the shopkeeper coldly: "What's the current price of food in the capital?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he glanced at the waiter next to him.

The latter was quite clever, using a flattering voice to talk about the current price of food in the capital.

"Reporting to Lord Du Tong, the current price of polished rice is 800 yuan per stone, and that of brown rice is 350 yuan!"

"Eight hundred coins per stone for polished rice? Three hundred and fifty coins for brown rice?"

Lin Chen repeated it in a voice with no emotion.

"Yes."

The shopkeeper seemed to feel something, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Take it." Lin Chen suddenly felt bored and waved.

Wow!

The armors of the soldiers from the five cities' military and horse divisions collided, and under the astonished gaze of many people, a total of twenty people of all sizes in Liu's grain store were tied up.

"Lord Tutong! Lord Tutong, why is this!"

When the shopkeeper saw that Lin Chen was serious, he immediately complained and complained.

"Ah."

Lin Chen just sneered and asked Wei Cheng to take out the official announcement issued by Shangguan Wan'er a few days ago.

"read!"

Wei Cheng took the order.

"Starting from the selected date, the price of food in the capital should not exceed twice the par price. Violators will be severely punished!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, a bead of sweat dripped down his fat cheeks.

Of course he knew this notice, but he just didn't take the approval document personally issued by the disaster relief imperial envoy seriously.

Businessmen, businessmen, don’t just pursue profit?

Not to mention that the price of food in the capital has increased five times now. When more victims of the disaster arrive in the capital, the price of food may increase ten times!

In addition, Liu's grain store had a backer behind it, which was enough for him not to take this official announcement seriously.

"Lin Dutong, do you know who is the owner behind Liu's Grain Shop?!"

Seeing that Lin Chen was determined to get him, the shopkeeper stopped pretending and immediately started threatening him with a fierce expression.

really.

Lin Chen had already guessed that the shopkeeper would say such things.

After all, merchants who can buy grain shops in the capital will take care of themselves and make friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Some businesses are even white gloves thrown out by officials.

"Lin Dutong, are you really going to do this?!"

Seeing that Lin Chen was indifferent, the shopkeeper wanted to say something, but Wei Cheng slapped him so hard that he burst into tears.

"Take these profiteers and evil businessmen back to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, search the granaries of Liu's Grain Store, and confiscate all the grain!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he called over a hundred-man general and asked him to lead a hundred soldiers here to sell the seized grains at a fair price.

The people nearby who heard Lin Chen's words were stunned for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers.

"Master Lin is really the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian!"

When Lin Chen heard this, he shook his head inexplicably, his eyes fell on these common people, and his tone became more serious.

"Each person can only purchase one bushel of this cheap food per day. If you buy more and take more, you will be killed!"

These murderous words immediately silenced the people present like ducks being strangled by their necks.

"Come on, the Liu family is not the only merchant in the city who sells grain at high prices." Lin Chen said with a sneer.

Wei Cheng was slightly startled when he heard this, although he felt that his master did this so that the people of the capital could survive.

"But... Sir, if you come down like this, the people behind the grain store will definitely regard you as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh!"

When Lin Chen heard this, he glanced sideways at Wei Cheng and laughed.

"Is it possible that I have to take into account whether their ideas are clear or not when I do things?!"

Lin Chen has a clear understanding of his current identity.

That is a cool official like Tang Yang, a sharp knife.

After all, Li Zhao doesn't regard himself as a disposable object that will be thrown away after use.

Otherwise, Lin Chen would not be allowed to cover his face with a mask.

For a while.

The Li family grain store, the Jia family store, and more than 20 grain stores, large and small, were sealed off by soldiers led by Lin Chen.

The prisons of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department can hardly be filled.

At the same time, the news that the governor of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department raided profiteers and sold cheap grain spread in the capital.

Even if there are countless people coming to buy cheap food, they are afraid that if they arrive a moment late, they will not be able to buy it.

Fortunately, there were soldiers left behind by Lin Chen to maintain order, so no stampede occurred.

Naturally, there are also those who want to make a profit by cheating.

However, these people used their heads to frighten those who had evil intentions in the dark.

Such cold tactics immediately made Lin Chenjia's name a topic of conversation.

The vast majority of ordinary people are naturally grateful to Lin Dutong for his grace of survival.

But in the eyes of some people, this is not the case.

Snapped!

Pingyang Hou Jiang Zhiding slammed the official kiln tea cup in his hand to the ground.

Porcelain pieces flew and tea spilled all over the floor.

This Jiang Ziding is the legitimate son of the previous generation Marquis Pingyang. The old Marquis passed away a few years ago, and it was his turn to inherit the title.

Among the martial arts in the capital.

Jiang Ziding is also a moderate figure.

Because of this, many merchants in the city were affiliated with Jiang Ziding, and they paid a lot of tribute every year.

Now that his financial path has been cut off, how can he prevent Jiang Ziding from becoming furious?

"Master Hou, I don't know who Lin Chenjia relied on to confiscate all our food!" A wealthy businessman said with a sad face.

"That's right!" Someone immediately agreed below.

All of these people were grain store owners who were raided by Lin Chen.
