Chapter 253: The Drum Sounds(2/4)

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yunxiu continued to ask: "The food at the address is a cover? But how do you explain this food?"

"Just a few bags of food, all the mud and sand transported from the Yellow River hit the bag."

Listening to Wang Chuan's explanation, Zhu Yunqiu was even more uncomprehensible and said with confusion: "Then you are not afraid. At this time, you will sell grain for fifteen stakes, and then the Yu family and the Li family will come to you to buy it crazily? What's the use of your little grain at that time?"

"Actually, sometimes, I really hope they will take away all my food." Wang Chuan shrugged and said casually.

Zhu Yunxiu said: "Why?"

"King of Wu, do you think I can't solve this matter, how will it end? Your Highness will allow the price of grain in Jiangnan to remain high and keep soaring?"

"But unfortunately, I overestimated the financial resources of the Yu family and the Li family. They took away 70% of the grain from both sides of the Ganjiang River and directly shorted them themselves."

"The food handed over to the site has arrived. The King of Wu and the imperial court's grain picking official have withdrawn. The imperial court no longer needs to purchase food. Although they hold a lot of food in their hands."

"But piles of debts are pressing against them. Underground money shops and merchants, at this time, I sell grain at a low price. Everyone will subconsciously believe that the food in the court has arrived and the time for the price of grain has soared."

“No one would be willing to leave with food, not with money.”

"The merchants dare not do anything, but the people in the underground money shop don't care about those who are shopping or chopping their feet. The Yu family and the Li family want to survive."

"The mortgaged shops are no longer available, and the food they stocked up in their hands cannot be sold. They are eager to help their lives. If they don't get the food, they can't make money, and they will lose their lives."

"At this time, I was releasing the wind. The Suzhou Chamber of Commerce entered the industry for grain, rice and food. With the reputation of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce in the Jiangnan area, no one dared to compete for it."

"The Yu family and the Li family don't want to die, so they can only sell the food to me. It's not that others dare not buy it, but they may not make money if they buy it. After all, the food from the court has arrived."

"A price of thirteen jin per dou of rice, I collected 17 million stones of grain from the Li family and Yu family, and the warehouses were spread throughout the affected areas on both sides of the Ganjiang River."

"The current food price is of course what I said!"

Wang Chuan opened the folding fan and said with a smile.

Zhu Yunxiu nodded and said, "Well, although what you said is very mysterious, simply put it, isn't it just short-selling. My brother told me that he would raise the price and then give a premium. Alas, I can make a lot of money in the end."

"But it doesn't work now. He doesn't think about how to solve the problem with commercial means. He kills it at any time, just like grandpa."

As soon as Zhu Yunyu finished speaking, Wang Chuan's face did not change, but his heart was filled with a slight sensation. He smiled and said, "King Wu, Wang Chuan has something else to do. I hope the King of Wu can help you again."

"What's the matter? You said, I will definitely not be stingy if I can help!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

With a sigh, Wang Chuan said, "My father Yan Xun, the Wang family must not be involved in business dealings related to people's livelihood. Now I have obtained this food. Whether it is my food or the money for buying food, they are all taken from Your Highness. I just did some insignificant things for Your Highness, and the food will eventually be sold in the name of the official warehouse."

Wang Chuan said bitterly, yes, now he is the only one who controls the grain prices on both sides of the Ganjiang River. If Your Highness wants to do it, killing him alone can calm the grain prices on both sides of the Ganjiang River.

Wang Chuan was not so proud that he compared the survival plan of millions of people based on his own value and the price of grain in Jiangnan.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll accept it for me. Your Highness said that you will take away all the remaining money, which is your reward. As for the grain, Yingtian Prefecture will send someone to take over."

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, and the smile in Wang Chuan's heart was undoubtedly a sharp blade, inserted into his chest.

In amazement, Wang Chuan lamented helplessly, "I have paid 30 million yuan of treasure money."

Although his heart was so bitter, Wang Chuan did not dare to say a word after all.

He left the Wu Palace dejectedly.

Wu Ningyu walked out of the hall, looked at Wang Chuan's lonely back, and said to Zhu Yunxi: "Is Your Highness..."

"Will your Highness be wrong? Don't think so much. My father-in-law went to Wugang and entrust you to me. Don't say the wrong thing, it's hard for me to do!"

Zhu Yunxiu said bluntly.

I don’t know what this martial artist Lin thought, but he was not married yet. Although he had a look at the eight characters, he directly gave a girl to Zhu Yunhuang.

After all, Zhu Yunxiu is also King of Wu! If he really does something, who dares to do what he does?

Wu Ningyu sighed and said, "But, this matter..."

"What you see is Wang Chuan's loneliness now. If one day, Wang Chuan controls the country's economic lifeline and the country's important resources as a businessman, His Highness will listen to him. What do you think this empire will become?"

"When I was young, I followed His Highness behind him. His Highness told me that as a businessman, you can only make money, and you can't make them too inflated."

"If merchants control food, iron, salt, tea, and horses, they will expand to cultivate their own power in the court and safeguard their own interests."

"A country is controlled by merchants, and all the people below receive only the little bit of mercy of merchants, and they must be grateful and have no guarantee of their conscience."

"The world is so big that there is no place to stand on the cone!"

"All industries related to people's livelihood and national security can only be controlled by Your Highness, and only Your Highness will take the people of the world to heart."

"Even if this highness is ridiculous."

"In recent dynasties, civil officials changed their masters and served them. If they changed their bosses, they would continue to be greedy. If the businessman is not good, then go!"

Zhu Yunxiu had a deep gaze. Although Wang Chuan's short-selling move was a scam, he really made people feel scared.

Such a person should not give him the opportunity to control important national materials

Once he has the opportunity, whether to show himself or his own interests, he will conflict with the interests of the country!

"But, aren't there businessmen involved in the Firearm Manufacturing Bureau?"

Wu Ningyu said in confusion.

"You don't understand this. As for politics, all forces can be used. You can use it. You must be careful. If you say it is small, it is to protect your own throne, and if you say it is big, it is to maintain the peace, peace and stable development of the country."

"The Firearm Manufacturing Bureau in Nanjing and Yangzhou, and the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce account for less than 15%, private merchants account for less than 5%, and Huaixi nobles from the Seventh Army Governor's Office account for less than 20%.

"It seems that the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau is operating under the management of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce. The boss behind the scenes is still His Highness. This is called giving them a chance to drink soup. They cannot eat enough or starve to death, making them work hard!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled. When he was a child, he didn't understand why Fang Shiyu was so nervous. The trick he learned was that he would not doubt people and doubt people. Since he became the prince, this method seemed to be increasingly inappropriate.

He could even feel that everyone should use it when sitting in Fang Shiyu's position, and everyone should beware of it. The so-called suspicion is not used, and the use of people is nothing more than deceiving those who are being used.

It was just as Zhu Yunxiu said.

Protect your throne and think about your head and butt.

Maintaining the tranquility and stability of Jiuzhou, an empire will not perish for a thousand years, and will develop stably for a thousand years. What will this empire become? If you break out of the vicious circle of Chinese history, you will definitely have unexpected gains and possibilities.

Wu Ningyu said stubbornly, and Zhu Yunxiu said, "Don't focus on medical science. Learn more about internal affairs. In a few years, we will go to sea to become a vassal. My group of uncles recruited hundreds of soldiers to become a vassal, and there are two or three thousand people who will be with their families. It's my turn to become a vassal, and how can I get a vassal from His Highness?

"When you go overseas, you will have to worry about the internal affairs!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

Wu Ningyu shook his head and said, "But the Emperor Ming's teachings are very clear. The harem cannot interfere in politics, and the eunuchs cannot disrupt politics."

"Okay, the Emperor Ming's ancestors are for the successor. We went overseas. I am the ancestor. I set my own rules, so why do you still have to follow the ancestors given by my grandfather!"

With a sneer, Zhu Yunxiu didn't care.

Liaodong.

Liaoyang City.

General's Mansion!

"Duke, how are you doing? You're not injured!" Sheng Yong stepped forward to support Li Jinglong. Although he was the general of Liaodong, Li Jinglong was Duke Cao, a royal relative, and the nephew of Taizu.

Li Jinglong sighed, "Liangha, these Qiuba people are really angry, I am so happy, they dare to surround me!"

Sheng Yong was inevitably worried and looked at Li Jinglong and said, "What happened later?"

"Later? I was the Duke of the State after all. Although the graduation thesis of Nanjing Military Academy was unqualified and there was no graduation certificate, I was also from the Army Academy. I was still afraid that he would not succeed. The 50,000 troops were damaged by more than 7,000 people, and the artillery fire was used. Before the three guards of Urianha had been killed, they ran away almost!"

"I chased and killed all the way, and reached Heihe. These Uryanha cavalry were moving too fast. They abandoned their horses and crawled into the mountains and forests, and could not find them."

"In one battle, I won more than 27,000 heads and 19,000 horses. In addition, bows and arrows are of no use to our army, so I sent them back to the mansion. When I returned to the capital, I could sell some money to my brothers and I would like to take it out!"

Li Jinglong took a sip of tea, savored it carefully, and said, "Wurianha intends to rebel and surrender. I am afraid that things are not simple. I should report to the court quickly and let the court prepare early!"

After Li Jinglong said that, Sheng Yong looked at Li Jinglong with an awkward look and said, "Duke, I'm afraid things are not easy to deal with."

"It's not easy to deal with? What's wrong with it? If your highness has no general in his hands, I will go up and kill the enemy and chase them to the desert, and the bandits who are killed are fleeing in panic!"

Li Jinglong said boldly as he spoke. I really don’t know what victory he relied on in this battle.

Sheng Yong said: "The court has sent troops. The Grand Governor of the Seventh Army Governor's Office, Lan Yu, led 50,000 Central Army troops to help Zhangye, northwest, and Hou Chahan in Shenyang as the commander. Ping'an, He Wenhui, Xu Qin, and Chang Jizu were the staff of the army, and had already drawn 100,000 troops to the grassland."

"The imperial edict from the court was to ask Sheng Yong to retreat to Shanhaiguan, give up Liaodong, and make every effort to solve the matters in the northwest and the north of the Mobei, and deal with the three guards of Urianha."

"Also, the imperial edict also said that Duke Cao Li Jinglong had no order to dispatch troops, looked down on military discipline, ignored the king and father, causing the land of Liao to be lost, and he wanted to take you back to Beijing to question!"

Sheng Yong's face was filled with two words of helplessness.

He agreed to send troops to Li Jinglong. Of course, this did go against the will of the court. No matter what the reason is, it would be a death sentence without an imperial edict.

What just puzzled Sheng Yong was why the imperial edict only stated that Li Jinglong was going to be brought back to Beijing to question the crime, without mentioning himself at all!

"What? I finally won a big victory, why did I take me back to Beijing to ask for guilt? Who did I offend?" Li Jinglong sweared in the General Office.

With a sigh, Sheng Yong said, "I have already submitted my statement to Your Highness. I have a responsibility for this matter. When the court responds, a general should be sent to guard Liaodong. Sheng and the Duke will be punished when they return to Beijing together!"

Beijing.

Fang Shiyu chuckled and looked at the military report: "This Li Jinglong chased the three guards of Urianha and continued to chase the Heihe River?"

Tie Xuan said: "Your Highness, Duke Cao said so."

"Then this matter is even more difficult to deal with. What does the Ministry of War mean?" Fang Shiyu said awkwardly, "Good guy, he has an impression called innate impression."

Fang Shiyu completely regarded Li Jinglong as the number one war god of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Laosi, who defeated a million troops to tens of thousands of troops, and Li Jinglong, who finally opened the city to surrender.

He actually gave him such a terrifying surprise in Liaodong.
