​Imperial palace sweet love: Your Majesty, too dark!

Xia Ruqing told all about the unusual price of Jinling City.

I make complaints about it.

"It's just a silver bracelet. It costs twenty taels of silver!"

"Twenty taels of silver, I can beat four or five myself!"

Although Zhao Junyao "despised" her small family.

But from her description, he recognized something unusual.

"Is that exaggeration?"

"Yes, yes!"

Xia Ruqing make complaints about fish.

"Last night, I just ate some snacks and spent more than ten Liang!"

"It's too expensive, too!"

"No matter how prosperous Jinling City is, it can't be like this..."

Because of the identity problem, Xia Ruqing is not good, too eloquent.

However, Zhao Junyao paid more attention to it.

He frowned and said nothing for a moment.

When Xia Ruqing saw that he had an idea, he would not talk more and eat in peace.

After dinner, Zhao Junyao called Li Sheng'an to him.

I asked myself how much silver I spent on that meal last night.

I asked how much money the inn had for a day.

What's the price level around here.

When he learned.

The inn where I live, with people and horses, with food and drink, costs thousands of taels of silver a day.

He's a bad guy.

The most luxurious Taihe building in the capital is only a thousand taels.

This is a modest Inn in Jinling City. It costs thousands of taels.

Although the whole inn is included, the inn is not big, and there are few rooms in total?!

Zhao Junyao felt that something was wrong.

A censor was immediately sent to investigate the matter.

……

Two days later.

The censor reported the information from the investigation one by one.

"Tell me, the price of Jinling City is different from that of other places! It's about six times more than the capital. "

"A steamed bun costs one Wen in Beijing, but six Wen here!"

"A bucket of rice sells 20 Wen in Beijing and 120 Wen here!"

Zhao Junyao's pupils suddenly dilated.

"Liuwen?"

"120 Wen?"

Don't look at all these small numbers.

The price of rice is the most basic material related to people's livelihood.

People can't live well without rice.

He didn't want to see any of them.

Zhao Junyao realized the seriousness of the matter.

He immediately ordered with a black face.

"Check! Check it out for me

"The price of grain is almost the same all over the country. Why is Jinling so special?"

"By the way, is there any other place?"

"Yes

The censor got the order and turned back.

……

For the next half month.

Zhao Junyao paid attention to the repair of the Weihe River embankment and the grain price.

Fortunately, the situation on the other side of the Weihe River has been stable, and the water level has not continued to rise, so the situation is quite smooth.

He focused on the price of Jinling City.

The censor has investigated.

In addition to Jinling City, there are also several towns around Jinling. Prices are much higher than other places!

Zhao Junyao sat in front of the book case, staring coldly at the map in front of him.

"How many places? What do you have in common? "

Zhao Junyao smelled a trace of conspiracy.

Xia Ruqing brought him a bowl of iced lotus seed soup.

Seeing that he had been staring at this map for a long time, he couldn't help asking.

"What are you looking at?"

"By the way, emperor, who will benefit from the price rise in the end!"

Zhao Junyao took the soup bowl and drank it lightly.

"Naturally, it's the richest merchants in the area who benefit from it!"

"When these people go into business to a certain extent, they can control the situation and master all the rules of the market!"

"They manipulate the price of a city to make it several times higher than that of other cities!"

"Then buy materials from other places and sell them to the people in the city!"

"The huge profits..."

Xia Ruqing understood.

After all, the market is just a place where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimps.

There is a fat fat cream, which naturally benefits the people at the top of the food chain.

Jiangnan is so rich.

If those tycoons and rich men do this, will they not be as rich as they can be?

Xia Ruqing didn't dare to think any more, but she also understood the reason why the emperor's face was so ugly.

Huge amounts of money are involved.

There must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

It seems that... The court hall, which has just been peaceful for a short time, is going to set off a bloodbath again.

"Does anyone want to rebel this time?"

Xia Ruqing prayed in her heart.

She can't control her rebellion, but she hopes the people will not be hurt any more.

Two cities were slaughtered in the last riot.

There is no need to describe the tragedy too much. No one wants to do it again.

……

Let's talk about the three great masters in Jiangnan.

This is a great merchant in the south of the Yangtze River who has been rich since the late emperor.

The combined wealth of these three families can be regarded as an invincible country.

But because they are in business after all.

No matter how rich he is, he can't control an emperor.

What's more, it's not stupid to be in business.

One is that:

They are very respectable on the surface, and can hardly find any handle. Even the industry under their name is a good shop for young and old people to set up shop in a down-to-earth way. It is widely praised by the people, and there is no stain.

2

The rise of such a rich family of tycoons is more or less related to the government, which is the so-called mutual protection between government and business.

This is normal. After all, you can't avoid this kind of thing if you change your job! Some people, as long as they have enough to eat and drink, will do things!

As long as these things are not too excessive, Zhao Junyao generally doesn't care.

But now

What happened!

His eyes suddenly sharpened.

That's zero tolerance. If we find out, it's the capital crime of nine nationalities!

Zhao Junyao tapped on the table with one hand, and a smile like hell Shura rose from the corner of his lips.

"I didn't expect to catch a big fish when I came to Jiangnan!"

Xia Ruqing didn't understand what he was thinking.

Some bored, just sitting on one side to write a letter to the capital.

When she had finished her letter, she was about to go over and ask him if he wanted to add another page.

I just saw Zhao Junyao's Shura smile.

She was so frightened that her hand trembled, and the letter fell to the ground, with soft feet.

"The emperor! You... "

Zhao Junyao recovered, put away his cold and looked at her.

"What's the matter?"

He quickly got up and supported her tottering body.

"What's the matter with you? What's wrong? "

Xia Ruqing rubbed as like as two peas before him.

"Just now that... You... Scared me!"

Zhao Junyao gave a quick smile.

"You scared me just now too!"

Xia Ruqing is very uncomfortable. She quickly breaks away from him and stands up.

"It's all right, I'm all right!"

Make up your mind:

"When the emperor is in office, she will never come in again!"

"Sooner or later, you'll have a heart attack!"

"Are you sure it's all right? Do you want to call Taiyi? "

"No, no!" Xia Ruqing shook her head firmly.
