The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"I need a powerful businessman like you to help me fuel the flames, further push up the price of food, and even the prices of various necessities of life, and promote Yan Song's early collapse!"

The voice of the envoy was full of arrogance.

"Food prices? Prices of necessities for life?" Yan Song's eyes flashed.

He already understood the trick behind this scene.

In war, fighting is logistics.

The mastermind behind this scene has infiltrated into Tianjin unknowingly, controlling Tianjin's grain business.Among the White Lotus Sect, businessmen and even officials, there are his accomplices?

When Daming and Mongolia were fighting to the death on the city wall of Tianjin, this conspirator was already in the dark, quietly cutting off Tianjin's food supply.

Now he needs more financial resources to further fuel the flames, drive up the prices of Tianjin's daily necessities to the sky, create chaos among the millions of people in Tianjin, and achieve the evil purpose of defeating others without a fight and causing Tianjin to collapse.

Yan Song shook his head and said, "No, I'm only interested in food. I don't think I can make a lot of money for other supplies."

Shopkeeper Qian's expression changed: "Boss Gao, our master never allows others..."

"Alright!" The envoy thought for a while, but said, "I also need a huge amount of money to continue to monopolize food. After all, there are still some grain ships that are sailing to Tianjin Port one after another. I need you to go to the port and follow me." As long as the grain arrives in Tianjin, no matter how high the price is, you have to eat it! Only buy and not sell! I guarantee that you can make more than ten times the profit!"

Hai Rui and the others were shocked when they heard it.

It turned out that as soon as Tianjin's grain arrived at the port, it was looted by these crazy businessmen, and it couldn't reach the grain depot at all!

This master can monopolize Tianjin's grain, and the financial resources he can mobilize can be described as terrifying.

Yan Song said indifferently: "Since there is grain coming to Tianjin, as long as Yan Song gives an order to forcefully collect it, won't it be impossible to monopolize the price of grain?"

"It doesn't matter!" The chief envoy said with a gloomy smile: "Those grain ships are just a drop in the bucket! Tianjin has a population of millions, and Yan Song kindly took in a large number of people who fled. He could eat up a grain depot every day! Most of the stored food has been taken away, and even if Yan Song takes the rest, he won’t last for a few days. You are just icing on the cake.” (Are you okay)

Yan Song smiled and said: "Then my purchase price will also be very high, how can you guarantee me ten times the income?"

"I said yes, so I can do it!" The envoy said with a dark smile, "The price of grain in Tianjin is only 5 taels of silver a dou. I have a way to raise it to 50 taels of silver a dou! Hahaha!"

Listening to this crazy laughter, everyone shuddered and felt extremely disgusted at the same time.

5 A fight of taels of silver, the people are already in dire straits, but with 50 taels of silver, wouldn’t the people all rebel or starve to death?

"Okay, you go down." The chief envoy seemed not to want to talk anymore, and sneered: "As long as you do what I say, go looting the grain at the port every day, I guarantee you will make a fortune! Besides, don't talk to me any more. Contact my people!"

He waved.

Shopkeeper Qian stood up and said with a smile, "Boss Gao, please!"

Yan Song backed out, and shopkeeper Qian apologized and said with a smile: "Boss Gao, although my master is a little arrogant, his strength is indeed unfathomable. In fact, you are not the first businessman to cooperate with us. At present, Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants in Tianjin , are all cooperating with us! And make a fortune, otherwise how can we monopolize so much food?"

Hai Rui, Shakespeare and others were stunned when they heard this!

Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants are secretly cooperating with them?

No wonder the price of food in Tianjin has risen so ridiculously!

Behind this is a huge conspiracy.

Yan Song's face darkened.

He and the others got into the carriage.

Hai Rui couldn't wait, and said viciously: "Why don't we do it? We have the army, the government servants, and the Jinyiwei! Order it now! Confiscate the teahouse just now, confiscate the grain store, and drive up the price of grain together." Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants have copied it! I don’t believe it can’t be pulled!”

Hai Rui always likes to use force to overcome ingenuity and forcefully suppress it, and facing this extremely dangerous conspiracy, it is no exception.

Yan Song shook his head: "Didn't you listen to him? He has already gathered all the grain together. If we push him in a hurry, we will burn the grain. At that time, even if he is caught, beheaded, and then killed He bewitched 667 to kill all the merchants, and there is no way to keep Tianjin! At this time, how to find food and stabilize food prices is the most important thing!"

Hai Rui also had to admit that Yan Song was right.

"Is this how we are being blackmailed by these rats?" Hai Rui hated it.

"Let them be proud for a while, they will cry!" Yan Song said lightly. .

He returned to the mansion and immediately attracted Qian Guangjin and Liu Cunshan.

Qian Guangjin was the leader of Shanxi merchants in the north, and Liu Cunshan was the leader of Zhejiang merchants and Huizhou merchants.

The two seemed to be preoccupied, and walked into Yan Song's living room, smiling one by one, referring to Yan Song and saying, "I've been summoned by Mr. Yan Ge, what instructions do you have?"

"You guys did a good job!" Yan Song didn't speak, but Hai Rui on the side sternly said: "The imperial court treats you well, grants you permission to open the sea, and run various businesses, but unexpectedly, you will repay your kindness? Hoarding for odds? Driving up food prices? That's how you are. To repay the court's kindness? To repay Ming Dynasty?"

Hai Rui's words were stern, Qian Guangjin and Liu Cunshan looked at each other, kneeling in front of Yan Song with a thud, wiping off their sweat, and said in a trembling voice, "Forgive me, Mr. Yan Ge! We were also foolish for a while and were taken advantage of by others!"

"Tell me." Yan Song said indifferently: "How did you get used by people?"

Liu Cunshan said bitterly: "The matter must start before the Mongolian invasion. In fact, before the outbreak of the Mongolian invasion, before Mazamu left Tianjin, someone came to us and asked us if we had a profitable business. Do? We Zhejiang merchants and Huizhou merchants have started to approach them.”

"My Shanxi businessman's situation is similar." Qian Guangjin wiped off his sweat and said, "Half a month before Mongolia and Daming had an antagonism over the Mongolian caravan, someone came to us and encouraged us to do big business."

Hearing this news, Yan Song, Wang Jiaping and Hai Rui looked at each other with more serious expressions.

The conspiracy against Tianjin actually started half a month before the two countries turned against each other?

The energy behind this scene is so terrifying!

"What business?" Wang Jiaping asked with a livid face.
