After hearing this, Song Huizong immediately let go of his worries and said with a smile: "Okay! Liangchen, just let go. I will teach the Confucian Sect a harsh lesson this time so that they can know who is the master of the world!"

"Yes, my disciple will definitely be despised!"

Jiang Chen smiled confidently.

He thought that the price of grain would be delayed until after pacifying Fang La, but he did not expect that the Kong family would suddenly make such a move, and he was not polite to him.

After leaving the palace, a membership meeting was held at the Royal Chamber of Commerce in the evening of the same day.

...

As Jiang Chen's official position continues to improve, and now his situation is strange, the representatives from various schools who came to attend the meeting have also replaced the chief officers with enough weight.

Jiang Zhiqi, Kong Duancao, Cui Hao, Wang Zhonghe, Wei Bozou, Han Xiaozhou, Chen Zixi, Meng Changling, Cai Tao, Cai Yinian, Zhu Yinian, Zhang Jun, Zhang Jia Gaobing, Zheng Jia Zheng Yizhi and other important figures in Bianjing were all present.

Due to different relationship positions, these people are obviously divided into three different camps: Zhang Jun and Zhu Yinian and others sit on the left, Wang Zhonglu and Kong Duancao and other hostile parties sit on the right, and Han Xiaozhou and Chen Zixi and other representatives who are neutral in the middle.

Of course, these neutral factions were almost 100% on the side of the Kong family in private, and many even had more than a hundred years of marriage with the Kong family, which Jiang Chen knew about.

So he didn't expect these people to stand on his side in the dispute between Confucianism and theory. What he wanted was to transform these people from landlords to capitalists as much as possible, launch an industrial revolution, let them change their ideas and give up their obsession with land.

Since it was a revolution, there would inevitably be someone sacrifice, so he had to take advantage of this grain price incident to use Song Huizong to screen and eliminate a group of people.

With this idea in mind, Jiang Chen looked around for a week and went straight to the topic: "I believe everyone knows the news outside. The process of distilled liquor leaked, and some people used it to create panic, intending to raise the price of grain..."

"What did you tell us about this? Could it be that you doubt that it flowed out of our hands? Then you have to come up with evidence!" Kong Duan was guilty and interrupted directly.

"That's right, all your men are lowly untouchables and warriors. If you ask me to tell me that they must have leaked it. If they don't check it, they will tell me that this is to treat me as a thief?"

Wang Zhongli shouted angrily and looked at Jiang Chen with a provocative look on his face.

Jiang Zhiqi, Wei Bozou and others immediately started to cheer: "Jiang Chen, you are simply a humiliation to us! A naked humiliation!"

Jiang Chen frowned and shook his head and said, "I have no idea of ​​holding the liquor accountable. Distilled liquor is not as famous as it is. Even the cheap fruit wine in Yuqing Villa is not as good as that.

What is really worrying is the problem of food panic. In order to avoid the consequences of turmoil in the country, the official hopes that all the members of our Royal Chamber of Commerce can take out the grain reserves to stabilize the people's hearts and sell them all to the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Every 16 cents will be collected, and you will definitely not suffer any losses!”

"No problem, my Zheng family is unshirkable for the country and the people. Except for leaving a year's ration, the Zheng family is willing to take out all the rest to the Royal Chamber of Commerce."

Zheng Yizhi was the first to express his words.

"I'm not saying anything!"

Pan Shishan, Gao Bing, Zhu Yinian and others all agreed very readily.

Neutral representatives such as Chen Zixi remained silent and looked at Kong Duancao and Wang Zhonglu on purpose or unintentional.

Seeing this, Wang Zhonghe said with an unhappy look: "Since you have moved out all the officials, we naturally have no reason to refuse.

But it’s fine if we sell it to the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Our families have reduced their grain production significantly this year. Just try to squeeze out a little and sell it in the grain store. I won’t bother Lord Jiang!”

"Well, I have the same idea! After all, no one can bear to see the people in the world go hungry. My Kong family will try to transfer food from Shandong and sell it in the capital.

But the journey is long and the bandits are constantly in trouble, I’m afraid it will take some time.”

Kong Duancao nodded with a smile while stroking his beard.

When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately understood it, nodded and said a lot of beautiful words.

Jiang Chen knew that these people were all planning to do things and it was impossible for them to sell large quantities of food, but he didn't care too much, so he bowed and said, "I thank you for this!"

After pausing, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "You should all know the Queen Saint's Yunxiu spinning machine? I wonder if you are interested in the spinning and weaving business?"

“Of course I’m interested!

That spinning machine is more than ten times more efficient than traditional ones, and it must be a good business!”

Everyone's eyes lit up and asked with anticipation: "Did the Queen of the Spinning Machine not prepare for the official business, but hand it over to our Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

"Not bad! In order to promote healthy competition and better develop trade, the official and the queen saint decided to select a group of patriotic merchants and families to open factories across the country.

This move can not only facilitate the people, but also provide a large number of jobs for landless vagrants, which can be said to be a killing of multiple goals."

Jiang Chen nodded and threw out the bait directly.

"Select a group of patriotic businessmen and families?"

"I wonder how the officials and the saints plan to select?"

"Can we have been loyal to the Song Dynasty for generations, can we still have a false idea?"

Kong Duancao, Wang Zhonghe and others looked ugly.

Gao Bing, Zhu Yinian and others didn't say anything, and they all had a clear mind. They knew that such a good thing Jiang Chen would definitely not leave them behind.

Cai Tao couldn't help but sneer: "Jiang Chen, why didn't you say you wanted to choose by selling how much grain you want?"

"Mr. Cai is indeed smart!"

Jiang Chen nodded without any concealment, glanced at everyone's reaction and said, "Everyone, you know the amount of food stored in your home, and you know it, and the official family knows it too!

You can also understand the idea of ​​making money by hoarding grain to buy land and shops, leaving a large amount of foundation for future generations.

Therefore, the officials and the Queen Saints will take out the industries prepared for the official business with you to make up for the losses you may suffer in the issue of grain sales.

This is really hard to care for the sake of the official family and the queen and saint!"

"We are grateful to the officials and the queen and saints for their kindness! This matter will definitely work together with the court and will not disappoint the officials and saints!"

Zhu Yinian, Gao Bing and others immediately stood up and bowed to the direction of the palace.

When Kong Duancao and others saw him, they did not dare to deduce etiquette and quickly followed suit.

However, although they agreed on their mouths, they were very different in their actions.

The Kong family, Cui family and Wang family dragged on the grounds that the journey was long, and were about to drag it until Song Huizong compromised and killed Jiang Chen;

The Cai family is even more direct. The ancestral tombs in their hometown have been dug for people, so where is the remaining grain?

In the end, the big families led by Zhang Shangying and the few families who had friends with Jiang Chen were just sent.
