Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 67 Uncle Shi

"Cui Ji, what kind of good thing do you think you are? It's like saying how good you are, but in the end, what have you done yourself? I didn't see you falling into your hands. What have you done better than me? Is it a good thing? Don't pretend to me, don't put on airs for me, I don't like you!" Li Changhe was also very unconvinced.

"What are you two still arguing about here? Is it useful? The most important thing right now is to get the grain merchants to raise the price of grain as soon as possible."

"Yeah, if the price of food comes down, how can we explain to our family?"

"Yes, if this matter is not handled properly, everyone in Chang'an City will not be able to stay any longer."

"These bastards, what the hell is going on, they dare to lower the price secretly."

"Today's grain is basically more than 800 a stone, and if it goes down, it will be over."

"That's right, most of our food is bought at more than 1000 paw a stone. If it falls any further, we won't be able to keep our money."

"Otherwise, let's buy it. We will buy as much grain as there is on the market, gather all the grain on the market to us, and hold all the grain in our hands. Anyway, we want to make the grain on the market empty. Raise the price of food in the market."

"Okay, then let's continue to buy food." Cui Ji stroked his beard, and a stern look flashed across his face, "Just Li Shimin, a vulgar man who only knows how to fight, wants to fight with our family of five surnames and seven clans." It is absolutely impossible to contend!"

Then another strange phenomenon appeared in Chang'an City, that is, the five surnames and seven sects were desperately collecting grain, but the current grain was basically around 700 Wen.

Those retail investors who had tasted the sweetness threw away the food in their hands, and directly made enough money for this life.

As for those five surnames and seven sects, they always felt that Li Er must have some tricks, and they vaguely felt that their backs were chilly, but they couldn't tell what the problem was.

There are now two extreme situations in the market. The imperial court began to provide disaster relief with a small amount of grain, while the grain in the hands of the five surnames and seven sects is getting more and more day by day, and the barn can't be piled up.

Then these censors jumped out and collapsed again, saying that Li Er should go and talk to those five surnames and seven sects, bow their heads, and let the five surnames and seven sects borrow food for the sake of the people.

But for some reason, Pei Ming, the current Minister of Dali Temple, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Li Erlang, the landlord of Lijiazhuang in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, is willing to donate 60 shi of grain to help the court survive this natural disaster!"

what happened?

The ministers in the court were all dumbfounded at this moment.

This Li Erlang, what is the origin, why haven't I heard of it before?Why does this person have so much food in his hand?
And this 60 shi of grain can solve the food rations of the people around Chang'an for two or three months. If such a large amount of grain is thrown into the market at the previous highest price of 3500 renminbi, what a horror it would be the numbers.

But who is this Li Erlang?
They didn't know, but Li Er knew it himself. Apart from himself, who else in the world would dare to bear the name of Li Erlang?But now he pretended to be very surprised, and said: "In my Tang Dynasty, there are such common people who are so considerate of the country and share the worries of the king. I must reward him, I must reward him! Reward him well! Fan!"

Waiting, Li Er looked at Pei Ming, "Pei Qing's family, how do you think I should reward this Li Erlang?"

I bother!Pei Ming scolded Li Erhao in his heart. How could he be so shameless? He bowed and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, I think that there will not be only one common people who share your worries, so, I suggest that a stele of meritorious deeds should be erected in front of the gate of Deshengmen, and the names of those who donated food for disaster relief should all be named Le Qingshi on the list of meritorious deeds, and Li Erlang be named the male of Wannian County, so as to show His Majesty the grace of heaven."

"That's it!"

The early morning started in such a hurry, and ended in such a hurry.

General Guide, Li Yueniang, brought a few soldiers to the gate of Deshengmen, and carved a stone tablet there, on which Li Erlang's name was the first to be revealed.

Then, the 60 shi of grain was pulled by the soldiers of Youwuwei, pulling the ox cart, passing by the gate of Deshengmen non-stop, and transporting the 60 shi of grain to the official warehouse of the imperial court.

If you have food, you don't have to be afraid of anything. After the people heard about this, they calmed down a little.

And around Chang'an City, after receiving a certain amount of rewards, the storytellers kept talking about how good Li Erlang was and how good he was for the country and the king in teahouses, restaurants or small stalls. For the common people, how Li Erlang served the country infinitely and selflessly.Anyway, almost everything that sounds good has been mentioned about this Li Erlang.

All of a sudden, Li Erlang's name was known to everyone in Chang'an, including the surrounding counties, from 80-year-old old men and grandmothers to three-year-old children. .

Enter Li Changhe's residence.

Li Ma, the dog-headed military strategist who has been working for tigers, is dead, and now Li Changhe can't make up his mind.

When he heard that the imperial court received a donation of 60 shi from Li Erlang, he was immediately dumbfounded. No one knew that the 60 shi of grain would definitely be put into the market by the imperial court. I don't know how it will fall.

But fortunately, Li Changhe has now welcomed a guest, and this guest is the current Captain Zhechong, Cheng Chuliang.

"Uncle Li Shi, nephew, nephew has come to congratulate you."

I saw that Cheng Chuliang walked into Cui's house holding a wine jar, with a happy smile on his face, as if he had encountered something great.

"Uncle Shi? Nephew?"

Li Changhe was shocked. Who doesn't know who your Cheng family members are? They must be carrying bad water. Who doesn't know that their Cheng family has always regarded their five surnames and seven sects as thorns in their eyes. Now It's definitely not a good thing to come to the door like this.

But now Li Ma is gone, he has no left hand and right arm, and he has nothing to congratulate, so why congratulate him now?

Worry is really worrying, now that so much money has been spent on those grains.

The wine jar was placed on the table, and Cheng Chuliang looked at Li Changhe with a wicked smile.

"General Cheng, General Cheng, you...what are you doing here?"

Li Changhe felt that he had to separate himself from the Cheng family, otherwise he didn't know how the Cheng family would deal with him!It's better to stay away!

"Uncle Shi! Uncle Shi!! We are family friends, with five surnames and seven clans, and we are of the same spirit! I am the nephew of the Cui family in Qinghe, it is not too much to call you Uncle! Admit it!" When Cheng Chuliang roared, he also ruthlessly pulled out the scimitar from his waist.
