Four hundred and sixteenth chapter knock the bone and suck the marrow
At noon on the 5th day of the Jiashen period in the first autumn of the first year of Yanhe, the archery captain entered Chang'an.
At the time of Wei, the Yulin Guard entered the city from Zhangcheng Gate. At the moment of Wei, the Huben School Captain entered Liushi outside Chang'an City, occupied Xiliucang, and the Qimen Army built its own Zhang Palace and supervised the three east cities.
As a result, the rice prices in Chang'an fell as a result, and the effect was immediate.
All the merchants immediately adjusted the rice price to 100 coins per stone, and most of them did not dare to bid for it.
Because, right at the door of the store, bright swords, guns, swords and halberds have already stood up.
Several unsmart guys have been dragged out of the shop by the army, stripped naked, and hung them on the gate of the market to blow the air.
A billion yuan of money and a thousand gold will eventually lose the advantage of swords and guns.
Don’t say it’s these businessmen from Chang’an!
How powerful were merchants in the world?
Linqiong Zhuo family, Cheng Zheng family, and the people of Yunnan and Shu, dig mountains and mine, smelting iron to get rich, and they are as rich as thousands of children!
The Luoyang Shishi family traveled all over the world, employed tens of thousands of workers.
Linzi has three thousand adopted sons and tens of thousands of disciples in the sword.
There was even a Nanyang Kong Gang who came to Jiuqing as a merchant and became a gang in the Han Dynasty.
Back then, these great businessmen and wealthy merchants were so powerful that they were shocked by both China and abroad.
Two thousand stones cannot be made, and the princes and kings cannot compare.
But what is the result?
A warning order was instantly wiped out.
For the Liu family, as long as there is no problem with the gun, don’t say it’s a businessman, the princes, the princes, the princes, the ministers, the ministers, and the officials are not afraid of them.
So, the carnival began.
Countless people happily took the money into the market, buying and buying.
Since ancient times, the people of Xia have been simple and cunning, and honest and shrewd.
Therefore, evaluation has always been polarized.
In the same place, the literati may lament that "the people are simple and have the style of the previous kings", while the officials gritted their teeth and scolded "The poor mountains and rivers are out of troublemakers!"
It’s also normal now, and everyone knows that if the harvest in Guanzhong is a bad one, the grain price will definitely rise.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, the masses bought and bought.
Like Li Er, he not only took out all his savings, but also brought his own cloth and came to the market to buy grain when he saw it.
Anyway, with the support of the emperor and the protection of the army, he is not afraid of losing.
However, it was a pain for Chang'an merchants, and everyone was frowning.
Soon, the grain stored in various shops was sold out.
The merchants were both distressed and happy, and they began to prepare to close the door and then went home to hide for a few days.
Wait for the wind to pass and see the situation.
But……
How could it be so easy?
Do you want to close the door?
The soldier at the door walked up with a sword and said, "According to the emperor's order, those who are reluctant to sell are "crawling and unrighteous", while those who hide food will be punished once they are verified, and those who are "deceiving the king and disobeying the emperor"!"
In short, it’s just one sentence: If you want to close the door, you can! Let me check first, is there any food in your house and the yard under your name?
If so, I'm sorry.
You broke the law.
The one who commits it is called "deceiving the king and ignoring the emperor". The minimum punishment is to confiscate the property. After that, it is Chengdan, and went to Juyan to repair the earth...
And if it is verified, do you want to be reluctant to sell?
Haha, that is a serious crime of "crawling and injustice".
To implicate the three tribes!
The merchants changed color instantly and wanted to cry without tears.
They could only make bitter faces and say, "The villain is not closed, it is not closed, it is just that there is no food in the store, so they go home to get the food..."
Do you think you can find an opportunity to get out of here?
The soldiers who were prepared were immediately carefully expressed their intentions, "I am willing to help Yi Shang transport grain."
In short, want to procrastinate, want to shirk responsibility, or even find an opportunity to escape?
There is no door!
So soon the entire market was filled with food.
One batch was sold out, and another batch was shipped again, so that the Chang'an Shimin felt that he was wrong?
This food seems to be too much to sell?
As a result, the panic gradually dissipated and the people's hearts began to stabilize.
Looking at this situation, the young scholars and officials in Chang'an and the children of the ministers who participated in the letter were satisfied.
"This is our power, the power of righteousness!" Many scholars' faces flushed with excitement.
Through one's own efforts, you can change the world and help the people with righteousness.
This kind of thing that once only exists in ideals and fantasies has now come into reality and happens before our eyes.
This is simply amazing!
Especially the children of the ministers, they were so excited that they wanted to sing a song.
Many people first participated in this matter, but when they were in a fever, they joined happily, and did not really think about success.
But now, success appears before your eyes.
This makes them so happy.
Confucius said: Virtue is not lonely, there must be neighbors.
Mencius said: If you have enlightenment, you will have many helpers, but you will have few helpers.
The education of the ancestors was indeed right.
The young man, who was full of hormones and aspiring for a beautiful future, immediately became elated.
They began to give guidance to the country and inspired the words.
Of course, scolding merchants by the way is a common topic among all Confucian scholars.
The people of Chang'an also joined in, vigorously whipping and spitting outrageous merchants.
In the eyes of many people, the rise in grain prices in Chang'an this time was clearly caused by the hoarding of profiteers and malicious speculation.
Especially those people who once spent high prices to buy grain, they were even more hated at the unscrupulous businessmen.
You see, there is so much food on the market that it is too much to sell, and not all of it is sold out, so is there a shortage of food there?
The rising public opinion immediately fermented, putting great pressure on the court.
only……
When many people were not paying attention, Shaofuqing and Dasiong entered the farm.
Before the Jiushiguan City, Chang'an, these two monsters opened their bloody mouths and ate all the food stored in the shop.
Then, under the pressure of the army's swords, guns, swords and halberds, the merchants in the market had to adjust the food again.
Anyway, under the national policy of registering households and people, following the clues, the families behind these businessmen could not escape at all.
Not to mention, in fact, many grain merchants are white gloves of Lehou Xuchen wearing grain merchants' coats.
In the past, the country did not investigate and was too lazy to investigate.
However, now, under the spur of the emperor, the entire Grand Secretary, Shaofu Qing, Taichang, Zongzheng, Zhijinwu and others all worked their best and widened their eyes.
So, everything was immediately exposed to the country's vision.
Then, the master behind these merchants were called to Jianzhang Palace or Changle Palace, and the emperor or the queen were met, comforted and talked.
In short, in a word, the country is in trouble now. As a great Han official and noble, you should be the first in the world and set an example.
Just like Emperor Taizong of the past, comforted Jiang Hou Zhou Bo: You always value me, and he is the first in the world.
In other words, if your beloved minister doesn’t want to be the first in the world, then he is not my minister.
These honorary ministers immediately sat on wax.
Once upon a time, they used all kinds of means to knock bones and suck marrow at the people and did everything they could.
Now, the imperial power has ended up, and they are also sucking bones and marrow.
