Chapter 479
But now the imperial edict has been issued by the court. I don’t know how many families have been destroyed and how many people can’t cry. Liu Peng didn’t even know what to say, but just shook his head and said, “It’s such a nonsense. We try every means to save the people. But these officials and masters of the Ming Dynasty have left at least tens of thousands of people without a chance of survival!”
"Yes! There is no way to survive!" Jiang Haotian smiled bitterly and said, "This Ming Dynasty government is just unreliable. I hope the province can withstand the pressure in Beijing. If you drag it, you can at least open the Internet!"
But Shi Qinming said bluntly: "These officials in the province only know how to fish in the waters and how can they know how to open a page? They only saw that nearly one million stones were stored in Denglai in Liaodong. Now they are probably still applauding, for fear that there will be a way out for Liaodong grain merchants to leave a way out!"
Liu Peng has always been very hostile to these Liaodong grain merchants who came in to spend their jobs, but at this moment he also smiled bitterly: "We can live at least, I'm afraid Tong Guo can't live with their lives!"
Nie Chuan added: "The noise just now was the Liaodong people making a fuss. They really couldn't live their lives!"
For these Liaodong grain merchants, life is more than "can't live", it's simply "can't live". Now they all look like they are desperate, thinking about how to commit suicide without pain and make things worse.
They really couldn't imagine that the court would make such a fuss. Although they were used to the trick of killing pigs in the government before they were fattened, the problem now is that this severe drought that had not been seen in hundreds of years has not yet passed. Many people in Shandong die of cold and hunger every day, and the court took action against them.
They cannot understand why the court did this. Isn’t the Ming Dynasty’s ban on the sea causing trouble for themselves?
But they had no time to blame the court, but considered their own way out.
But after thinking about it, they found that they had reached a dead end and had no way to go. In other words, no matter how they went, they were dead. The more they wanted to find a way to live, the more they found that they could not survive.
Now Liaodong grain merchants have hoarded nearly one million stones of rice in Denglai. With the consumption capacity of Denglai and the two governments, it is impossible to buy nearly one million stones of rice, let alone the relationship between Liaodong grain merchants and Liu Peng is very bad. Without the credit support of the money house, Liaodong grain merchants can only make small fuss in Denglai and the two governments.
Originally, selling rice to Qingzhou Prefecture was regarded as the last straw for Liaodong grain merchants, but the facts proved that the more life-saving straw, the less reliable it was. The battle of Yangjiaogou dispelled the only remaining lucky idea of Liaodong grain merchants. Many Liaodong grain merchants had considered transporting the rice beans back to Liaodong for sale. As a result, as soon as the ban on the sea, their rice beans were trapped in Denglai and could not move at all.
They immediately went to the Prime Minister Tao to protest. The Prime Minister Tao expressed sympathy and understanding for their experience, but also said that this was an order issued by the capital. The province sent Taoist ministers to supervise it. The arrest was very strict, and he could not help him.
Of course, the grain merchants in Liaodong understood what the short-sighted officials in the province were planning for this matter.
They obviously saw that as long as the sea ban reopened, the nearly one million stones of grain traders in Liaodong would be forced to stay in Denglai Prefectures. The Shandong government is now unable to transport large batches of rice and beans from other places. Now the nearly one million stones of grain that have been forced to stay can help the government solve most of the grain problems.
These masters in the province came up with the idea of closing the door and fighting dogs, but the Liaodong grain merchants had long known that the key problem of Denglai Prefectures was not high grain prices or shortage of food, which was not helpful in solving the actual problem.
But in this way, the grain merchants in Liaodong really have no way to go. Some grain merchants are already thinking: "When the Daochen who came to supervise the province, it should be one or two days left to arrive in Dengzhou. We should be able to transport the grain back to Liaodong, right?"
The rice price in Liaodong is now higher than the actual transaction price in Denglai, so some grain merchants have already had the idea of returning to Liaodong. However, Qu Zengren shook his head and said, "It's too late. Now it's too late. Even if we can find a ship and transport the food back to the ship by chance, it's not our turn to go to sea now."
Since the sea ban has been reopened, there are naturally many sources with great powers to make a fortune. Although Liaodong grain merchants are also very powerful, their magical powers are limited to Liaodong. They are difficult to move forward in the two palaces of Denglai. Everyone regards Liaodong grain merchants as big fat sheep and want to come up and take a bite.
Now even if you can go and transport it quickly, and you can find a merchant ship and transport the grain back to the merchant ship in time, it may not be too late to leave the port. When you think of this, many Liaodong grain merchants who have experienced strong winds and waves couldn't help crying.
They traveled around the world and experienced countless storms, but they never despaired like this. But God seemed to be joking with these Liaodong grain merchants. Someone broke out again, but it was the boss Di of Chang Ye: "My friends from Liaodong, your rice beans can no longer be stored like this. I just saw it. There are already some signs of rottenness. You have to find the warehouse. If you can't find the warehouse, you have to sell this part of the possible rotten part in time."
Boss Di said this, there were really howlings in the Huining Guild Hall. Everyone did not expect that the house was leaking and raining overnight. Nearly one million stones of rice beans were trapped in Dengzhou and could not find a sales route and could not be transported back to Liaodong. However, because the grain was not found for a suitable warehouse, the grain was deteriorated and rotten, so the food of nearly one million stones would probably be gone!
Who did these man-made businessmen offend?
Thinking of this, Qu Zengren shouted angrily: "Which treacherous minister has slandered the emperor and wants to ban the sea again? Since he doesn't give us a way out, let's fight him to the death!"
Although the truth is difficult to find, for these Liaodong merchants with great powers, there are not many truths that they cannot figure out. Although everyone regards him as a group of fat sheep, they also have their own ways, whether in the province or in the capital, they all have people!
Therefore, not long after, these Liaodong grain merchants figured out who was the culprit: "What a good prince Heng's mansion. If you don't give us Liaodong men a way out, don't blame us Liaodong men for fighting with you!"
