"This is Baiyuan City?"

They rushed all the way and finally arrived at Baiyuan City the next day. Everyone was very tired at this moment, but as long as Chen Yu didn't speak, they couldn't rest.

These people are worthy of being elite. Until now, they have been marching urgently and are not even tired, and they are not even in chaos in their formation.

Looking up at Baiyuan City, Chen Yu took everyone into the city, and then when he saw the situation in the city, he couldn't help but sigh.

When I was outside the city, the walls outside looked magnificent and tall. But after coming in, I found that there were ragged people everywhere, and everyone's face was full of numbness.

They had no hope, no passion, and even no slight elegance in their eyes.

The shops are sparsely opened, and each one is running with difficulty. There are not many people setting up stalls on the bustling streets.

This once famous prosperous place, the northern city, is now depressing like yesterday's yellow flowers, making it difficult to connect the two together.

However, Chen Yu had already prepared for everything in front of him. Since entering the North, he has seen too many such situations. Therefore, some things need to be more urgent.

"Mr. Shen, I've just inquired about it. The price of grain here is one dou of rice and five taels of silver!"

"Five taels of silver, huh, the profiteer, they really dare to sell it!"

With a cold snorting, Chen Yu turned around and looked at everyone, and said lightly, "I have an idea. I want to ask your black guards to cooperate!"

"Sir, please tell me, you are the imperial envoy of the court, and when you came, the commander gave the order. The black-clad guards in all places can obey your orders and fully cooperate with Lord Shen's actions!"

"It's so good!" Nodded, Chen Yu then asked, "How many people are there in your black guard here? Summon all of them and listen to my order!"

After saying that, Chen Yu looked directly at the other party, his eyes full of murderous intent shot out, and then he looked at the other party coldly.

This look made Peng Yue furrow all over his body. Even though he was a master of the Grand Master, he was a little nervous under this look. This Lord Shen has such a terrible skill and a strong murderous intent.

It's not right. We are our own people. What does your look in the eyes that you want to eat me mean?

"Mr. Shen, you..."

"Prince Peng!" Continuing to look at the other party with his cold eyes, Chen Yu said coldly, "I know your front office has an objection to me, but if you dare to drag your feet on this matter, even if I try my best, you will be killed by the horse!"

"Believe me, I, Chen Yu, do what I say!"

"Mr. Shen, our black-clothed guards are His Majesty's personal guards, so we can still distinguish between priorities!"

This time, Peng Yan almost patted his chest to assure him, and then asked curiously, "But, Lord Shen, what's your idea?"

"You don't have to worry about this anymore. I will listen to my arrangements from now on!"

Looking up at the sky, Chen Yu then ordered, "You can go to the best location in the city to get a few big houses, and then set up a few stalls outside. I will get a batch of food for you later!"

"Food? Can Lord Shen get food?" Peng Yue was quite curious about this. They came together along the way, and when did the other party get food?

However, there are some things that do not need to be investigated in depth. As the former department of the Black-Clothed Guard Palace, he still understands this.

It would be great if there was a result. What kind of process would be easy to attract hatred.

"Mr. Shen, are we going to raise a stall to distribute food?"

"No, we sell food!"

"Selling grain?" At this moment, Peng Yan almost thought he had heard it wrong. What a joke about selling grain? They were sent by the imperial court to provide relief to the victims, so they actually wanted to sell grain?

Could it be that after seeing the soaring price of grain, Lord Shen was also moved and wanted to take the opportunity to make money like those unscrupulous merchants?

However, the food belongs to others, not to the court. If they are willing to make money openly, they cannot stop them.

However, this time, Peng Yan's impression of Chen Yu was greatly reduced. He thought he was an upright and good official, but he didn't expect that he was a corrupt official in a good official's skin. Bah!

"Hmph!" He glanced at Chen Yu, and Peng Yan asked with some contempt, "Mr. Shen, how much is your food ready to sell?"

"This, just set two hundred citations for a bucket of rice first!"

"Two hundred cents?" Peng Yan was slightly surprised. To be honest, this price was not high, especially in such a famine year, which could be called a conscientious price.

Even in a normal year, the price of grain is lower than this one, but it will not be much lower. However, he didn't understand very well that since he wanted to make money openly, why not be more high?

"Peng Yan, it's time to play the role of your black guard!"

At this moment, Chen Yu next to him took a photo and ordered him, "Didn't I instruct you to spread some news before? Go now."

"To gather all the people who can be summoned, the new imperial envoy must take action against all the lurking businessmen in order to collect enough food!"

"Also, the matters of the Pang family in Lu County must be well promoted. Tell all grain merchants that when the official arrives, he will search the homes of major merchants, and the Pang family is their role model!"

"Anyway, I want to say how cruel my official's methods should be, how harsh it is, how poisonous it is. I just want them to be afraid, to the bottom of my bones!"

"This is simple!" Some rumors spread, but to them it was nothing but pediatrics.

The black-clothed guards are rooted everywhere. In addition to the people on the surface, there are also many spies secretly planted everywhere. These people work together to ensure that they will know the whole city the next day.

However, he still didn't know what this Lord Shen was going to do. This wave of operations made people confused.

"Also, the stalls you have set up are said to be from other big cities, big grain merchants from other big cities to sell their food."

After thinking about it, Chen Yu continued, "You can do it yourself, but the general meaning is to tell everyone that we are selling grain because the new imperial envoy is about to arrive!"

"This new imperial envoy has a ruthless method and acts without any scruples. He will definitely attack everyone. Therefore, he has to sell all the food in his hands and save himself from becoming the target of the new imperial envoy's authority."

"So, do you understand?" He patted his shoulder, and Chen Yu stopped talking. But at this moment, Peng Yan seemed to understand what the other party was doing.

This Lord Shen wanted to use self-deprecating methods to make the grain merchants feel scared. At this time, as long as one person takes the lead, it will trigger a frenzy of selling.

Instead of being killed by the new imperial envoy, it is better to sell all the food in your hands at this time and make more money!

I have to say that this method seems to work, but then a new problem arises.

Looking at Chen Yu, Peng Yue then said with some concern, "Mr. Shen, but we don't have enough food in our hands, so the filling will be exposed!"

"No, I have food, and it's a lot of food!"

He glanced at the other party meaningfully, Chen Yu smiled softly, and said lightly, "Get a group of people for me, and follow me to transfer food!"
