Chapter 343 Black-hearted Grain Merchant

Su Yunsheng had a ferocious expression on his face and said viciously: "Even if I can't injure the General's Mansion, I still want to get the sugar recipe!"

Su He just glared at his eldest son with a deep look. Although he had lost a son, the Su family was not taking any responsibility this time. Xu Junze's wife was not an ordinary person, and her own daughter had fallen into her hands several times.

Here, Su Yunsheng wanted to get the sugar recipe from her, but he was afraid it would be difficult to succeed.

But Su Yunsheng didn't think so. Officials have their own official ways, and businessmen have their own business ways. He had his own way to force the people of the Xu family to submit. Soon he found Bai Zhanyang, the head of the Bai family of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. He was the father of Young Master Bai.

Is he a wine merchant or the biggest grain merchant in the dark?

Immediately afterwards, many people discovered that the price of food began to rise day by day. Although a pound of food only increased by one cent, it was ten cents in ten days. This may not have a big impact on the rich, but on the poor people

In terms of food prices, the increase in food prices is a bit scary.

It is difficult to make a living in the winter, and there is little food left at home, so life becomes even more difficult. Winter has not yet arrived, but the people of the Jin Dynasty have already felt that the days are more chilling than the cold winter months.

Emperor Zhao You immediately took corresponding measures after learning about this situation. Although there were granaries in various parts of the imperial court, they were unable to compete with the entire grain market. Even the rise in grains caused panic among the people, and some unrest began in various places.

appeared, and many granaries were robbed.

At this time, the imperial court also began to increase its efforts to purchase grain from grain merchants. However, these large grain merchants seemed to have negotiated and traded at the daily market grain price. However, the grain prices were increased by them.

To a certain extent, they have the final say.

"The imperial court bought grain from those grain merchants at high prices, and then sold it to the people at low prices. All the money lost by the country went into the hands of those unscrupulous grain merchants!" Lei Yingying came to see Lin Shuran that day, and the two of them

While chatting, we talked about the recent food problem. Because the Ministry of Revenue was short of manpower, Emperor Zhao You temporarily transferred Du Sheng to the Ministry of Revenue. Now he is mainly responsible for purchasing grain.

Lin Shuran also knew that the food issue that has been abuzz in the capital recently is that the coldest period of winter is coming. If the food issue is not solved, this man-made disaster will be more terrible than a natural disaster.

"The food problem has been a big problem since ancient times. It is the lifeblood of a country, and this lifeline must not be in the hands of a certain person or a group of people with bad intentions, otherwise problems will occur sooner or later." Lin Shuran said worriedly.

It is said that food is the most important thing for the people. The most important thing for the people in the world is "food and clothing". This is also a person's basic survival needs. The reason why those in power in ancient times emphasized agriculture and suppressed business was probably because they were afraid of the passivity we have today.

situation.

"If this continues, I think there will be chaos, so I will arrest all those evil grain merchants!" Lei Yingying said angrily.

"Killing chickens to scare monkeys is not ineffective at all, but you have to find the most critical 'chicken'!" Lin Shuran thought of the wine merchant Bai Family that Zhao Mu told her last time. The person behind this manipulating food prices is probably

It is also inseparable from the Bai family.

"What about chickens and monkeys? Sister Ran, I can't quite understand what you are saying, but I heard from my husband that the wine merchant Bai's family has two large granaries in the capital. If they are willing to put the food in these two granaries

If all the grain is taken out, the price of grain in the capital can remain stable!" Lei Yingying said to Lin Shuran.

"Really? Isn't there a way for the imperial court to ask the Bai family to temporarily take out the food from the granary?" Lin Shuran felt that the imperial court's kindness and power would always find a way to make the Bai family relent.

But Lei Yingying told Lin Shuran that the head of the Bai family said that the grains were used by the Bai family to make wine, and they had signed cooperation documents with others. If the wine could not be produced as scheduled, a lot of money would have to be paid, and the emperor would also

You can't obviously rob other people's things, but if you buy them with money, the court won't be able to come up with so much money at the same time.

But what Lin Shuran was thinking was that it wasn't that Emperor Zhao You couldn't afford the money to buy grain, but that he was unhappy that the Nine-Five-Year-Old Emperor actually wanted to spend money to buy grain from a businessman. This was really ridiculous and absurd.

, he could not let himself, the emperor, become a joke, let alone the Jin Dynasty.

Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran were talking, and Xu Minghan came to see Lin Shuran. During this period, the business of the sugar shop can be said to be booming. Yesterday, he just signed cooperation documents with several big merchants in Southeast County.

Open a sugar workshop in Southeast County.

"You mother and son have something to talk about, so I'll leave first!" Lei Yingying stood up with a look. Lin Shuran wanted to stay with her for dinner, but she said she wanted to go to Prince Chun's Mansion. I heard that Chen Jiayu was staying at Prince Chun these days.

The mansion was so majestic that it punished Aunt Qiu who was next to Princess Chun. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought even more fiercely than before.

As soon as Lei Yingying left, Xu Minghan took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Lin Shuran. Lin Shuran took it, then looked at him and asked, "What is this?"

"Mom will know after reading it!" Xu Minghan did not explain much on this, but just let Lin Shuran read the brochure first.

Lin Shuran turned over the pages and read them, her brows getting tighter and tighter, and the look in her eyes became more and more cautious and full of doubts. After reading and closing the book, she asked Xu Minghan: "Where are you from in this book?"

Are you here? Can what is said above be true or false?"

"Don't worry, mother, the things recorded in this booklet are all true. There has always been a secret gang in the world. As long as you can afford the price, they can help you find out the information you want. This is collected specially by someone.

A brochure about what the Bai family, the wine merchant, has done over the years." Xu Minghan said.

Lin Shuran was surprised why Xu Minghan suddenly went to check on the Bai family, so she asked: "What do you want to explain by giving me this booklet? None of the good things recorded in it are about the Bai family. Do you want to ask me if I want to hand it over?"

Are you going to the government? Or do you want to use this to blackmail the Bai family?"

Xu Minghan shook his head, and then said: "Mom, someone asked me to hand over this book to you. That person said that this book alone would not be able to threaten the Bai family, nor could it completely defeat the Bai family. He hopes to join forces with you to deal with it.

Bai family, and then hold all the Bai family's granaries in your hands."

"Brother Han, tell me the truth. When did you meet the young prince of Prince Yao's Mansion?" Lin Shuran just listened to Xu Minghan's words and already determined who gave him the book. The young prince Zhao Mu wanted to deal with Bai.

Family, why bother dragging you along and using Xu Minghan!
