I'm a marquis in Datang

Chapter 1238 Prelude

Prelude

Lan Changhe stood up bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, what I want to report is that I have a clear understanding of the situation of the grain merchants in Chang'an. I found that most of the grain merchants in Chang'an are going to drive up the price of grain. They want to increase the price of grain seeds, and even Double the sale."

"This behavior is never allowed. Once it happens, the minister will definitely deal with it severely. Therefore, the minister's plan is to establish a rule that any merchant who drives up the price will be severely punished. And the merchant will drive away the profit and take risks, and it is very likely that he will ignore the minister. order. At that time, the minister will most likely start killing."

Lan Changhe said: "Therefore, I have to come to the palace to report this matter, and I beg Your Majesty's permission."

A smile appeared on Du Qi's face when he heard it.

Lan Changhe came prepared.

Not to ask for help.

Lan Changhe said that he had found out the situation of the grain merchants, obviously he had a clear understanding of the situation, and he knew all the situations well, so he could say that.

Du Qilue thought about it, and said: "The merchants are driving up the prices of goods, especially grain prices, and indeed they should be dealt with severely. How you want to deal with it, I don't ask. It's just that you have dealt with these merchants. Is there enough grain? Now that spring plowing is coming, continue to delay. Spring plowing is coming to an end. When spring plowing is over, replanting is not as good as timely sowing.”

Lan Changhe said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have made proper arrangements to ensure enough grain."

Du Qidao: "Where did you get the grain?"

Lan Changhe said directly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the grains that I reserve are purchased from businessman Han Yun. Once the grains are insufficient, I will temporarily buy them from Han Yun at the market price, and then repay them after taxes are collected, or It is time to directly repay the grain seeds. In short, borrow first and then repay. The government did not save

Grain can only be purchased from merchants. First satisfy the common people's cultivation, and then consider other things. "

Du Qi said: "Yes!"

Lan Changhe dared to do it, Du Qi thought it was not a bad thing, as long as it was handled properly, there was nothing wrong with it.It is better to dare to do something like this than to do nothing.

When Lan Changhe heard Du Qi's words, he was also relieved.With Du Qi's support and Han Yun's assurance of sufficient grain, Lan Changhe can do it boldly, so that he won't worry about the situation getting worse and it will get out of hand at Du Qi's place.

Lan Changhe said: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Du Qidao: "Let's do it."

"I keep in mind the teachings of Your Majesty."

After Lan Changhe replied, he turned around and left.For Lan Changhe, Du Qi's words of exhortation just now gave Lan Changhe confidence

, even Du Qi has asked him to let him do it, which means that even if things become big and the sky is pierced, Du Qi will take care of him. a stable guarantee.

When Lan Changhe returned to the governor's mansion, he summoned the governor of Jingzhou to discuss the matter.

The governor of Jingzhou was named Zhang Jingzheng.

Is from Chang'an.

Previously, Zhang Jing was the assistant official of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, who was in charge of arresting and arresting thieves. He seemed quite powerful, but in fact it was the hardest and most tiring job.In a place like Chang'an, at the foot of the emperor, if anyone is arrested, they may be relatives of the emperor, princes and nobles, and they are all people Zhang Jingzheng can't afford to offend.

His job is to do all the dirty work, and it is not easy.Li Shimin took all the civil and military officials to evacuate, and the officials of Jingzhao Yin's mansion also evacuated, but Zhang Jingzheng, a man who did the dirty work, stayed behind.

People need to guard Chang'an.

This is bullying honest people.

Lan Changhe became the governor of Jingzhou, and he promoted Zhang Jingzheng to be the governor of Jingzhou.Although Zhang Jingzheng's ability is not particularly outstanding, it is more than enough to be the chief historian.

The most important thing is that Zhang Jingzheng has been doing dirty work and arresting people everywhere before. He is very familiar with Chang'an and the counties in Jingzhou, and he is very clear about the local situation, so he is the chief historian. is the most suitable candidate.

After Zhang Jingzheng entered, he bowed and said, "Inspector."

Lan Changhe waved Zhang Jingzheng to sit down, and said, "Zhang Changshi, I invited you here because of the matter of grain seeds."

When Zhang Jingzheng heard this, he quickly said, "Could it be that the governor already has a strategy to deal with it? Now the government office doesn't have enough money, let alone food, crops, farming tools, and even cattle. You

Plan, what should I do? "

Lan Changhe said: "I have a strategy to solve this matter, you don't have to worry about it. Just one thing right now, you issue a decree in the name of this officer, ordering all grain merchants to let them sell grain seeds. We must consider the difficulties of the people, and we must not drive up prices, let alone increase prices without reason. Those who violate the order must be severely punished."

Zhang Jingzheng was stunned when he heard this.

What kind of solution is this?

Zhang Jingzheng thought about it for a while. He thought of Lan Changhe's kindness to him for promotion, and said, "Inspector Lan, this method is not very useful at all! The reason is actually very simple. First, the price has not been clarified. How can it be regarded as driving up prices?" , How can it be regarded as a price increase? Second, the constraints on merchants are very weak.”

After a pause, Zhang Jingzheng continued: "Especially when His Majesty entered Chang'an this time, many merchants in Chang'an have contributed a lot.

People are quite unruly and difficult to deal with.Once you deal with them, these people bring out that they have helped His Majesty, which will leave you helpless.These people are very cunning, and it is almost useless for you to issue such a decree. "

Lan Changhe said with a smile: "Of course I know that this order is useless, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to follow my order. In short, we will win this time. Those who drive up prices are all damned, They will all be punished. Even their existing crimes will be disclosed, and none of them can escape.”

Although Lan Changhe spoke with a smile, there was already a sense of iron and blood in his words.

Lan Changhe was a man who had been on the battlefield.

Not ordinary people.

Such a person has the temperament of killing and decisive. Once Lan Changhe decides to do something, he will not change his mind, and when he executes it, he will execute it with great strength and will not be soft at all.

When Zhang Jingzheng heard Lan Changhe's words, he knew that Lan Changhe had a detailed plan, but because he was worried about leaking, Lan Changhe didn't talk about the overall plan at all, only what needs to be done now.

In Zhang Jingzheng's heart, he also hopes that ordinary people can finish the spring plowing and live a good life.

This is his vision.

Zhang Jingzheng didn't want to get to the bottom of it anymore, and said directly: "Please don't worry, the governor, I will arrange it immediately. Within an hour and a half, all the merchants in Chang'an City who deal in grain will know the news."

Lan Changhe said: "Go!"

Zhang Jingzheng immediately went to make arrangements, and Lan Changhe also got up and left, but went to Han Yun's house again. He still had some matters and needed Han Yun's help.

Following Zhang Jingzheng's actions, even though Zhang Jingzheng said it took an hour and a half, it actually took less than an hour for the news to spread in the city.

Many businessmen knew the news.

These businessmen, who had been ordered by the government one by one, did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and all gathered in Mo Feng's mansion.After all, Han Yun didn't get involved, and the rest of the people, headed by Mo Feng, wanted to hear Mo Feng's opinion.

Chapter 1239 Strong Action

strong action

Mofeng's grain store is not small, second only to Han Yun.As far as Mo Feng is concerned, he is younger than Han Yun and more aggressive, and he has the idea of ​​​​replacing Han Yun.It's a pity that Han Yun's industries involve a wide range of industries. The cement and other industries alone are extremely solid and cannot be shaken at all.

Now that Han Yun has Du Qi's approval, he has increased the perfume industry, and his strength is even stronger, and the ink seal is even more unshakable, which is not comparable to Han Yun.But Mo Feng is also a character, he is not comparable to Han Yun, so regardless of Han Yun, he concentrates on food management and strives to become the strongest in this respect.

His grain shop has a complete range of varieties, and the quality of the grain seeds is quite good, and there will be no situation where it will not take root and germinate after planting.The only downside is that it is more expensive.Even so, Mo Feng's grain store business is good.
