Chapter 10 The angry Xiao Yu

Tang Ning looked at Li Feng and said, "Li Feng, two hundred thousand guan, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce's grain store has been arranged. If you still need anything, you can ask for it."

Li Feng came back to his senses and said: "Yes, Lord Tang Jian knows, you can ask him."

"Okay, you can go back. I will send someone to protect you secretly in the next few days."

"Thank you, sir."

…

Manna Hall.

The ministers arrived early in the morning, and they all came for the disaster relief work.

After Li Er arrived, Wei Zheng was the first to stand up: "I hope your Majesty will punish you for your incompetence."

Li Er frowned and said, "Wei Zheng, what are you guilty of? Why don't I know?"

"Wei Chen failed to live up to His Majesty's hope and failed to collect food donations. Wei Chen is guilty."

Li Er's face turned cold and he said: "Profiteers are all a group of profiteers."

Tang Jian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether we have collected food through donations. I have a way to restore the price of food in Chang'an and even Gyeonggi Province to its original price."

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Tang Jian.

Zuo Pushe Xiao Yu asked in a deep voice: "Master Tang, you must not speak nonsense. Now everyone in the imperial court is worried about food. Do you know that what you say will affect the entire Tang Dynasty."

Tang Jian smiled and said: "Xiao Xiang, I understand your worries, but I can guarantee that within ten days, the price of food will return to what it was before."

"It's a good thing that you are so confident. But I don't know how Mr. Tang will stabilize the price of food?"

"Xiao Xiang, please forgive me, but until the price of food stabilizes, please let me keep this secret."

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Master Tang, how can we hide such a big event? If something goes wrong, the people can't afford to wait for these ten days."

Tang Jian smiled and said: "Xiao Xiang, the person who came up with this plan is actually someone else. I'm afraid only your Majesty and Fang Xiang know this person.

Even if Xiao Xiang

If you don’t trust my subordinates, you should trust the Prime Minister and Your Majesty.”

Tang Jian suddenly kicked the ball to Li Erfang Xuanling, and the two cursed secretly. They knew the person, but they didn't know the specific strategy.

When Xiao Yu looked over, Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, this person is indeed quite capable. Both I and Your Majesty believe in this person. Since he said there is a way, there must be a way."

"Does Your Majesty think so too?" Xiao Yu asked.

Li Er nodded and said: "Xiao Qing, I also believe this person. Whether it is the Jinyang earthquake or this drought, he told me in advance. I think he is a genius, so I believe him. Xiao Qing has

Any opinions?”

"Wei Chen doesn't dare, it's just that Wei Chen feels uneasy about leaving such a big matter in the hands of someone who has never met him.

May I ask, Your Majesty, who is this person, where does he live, and what are the virtues of his ancestors? Can he really be trusted?" Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yu is a strict and rigid person, upright and upright, but he is intolerant and intolerant of others.

Li Er appointed new officials such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Tang Jian, and the power and responsibility were slightly divided, which made him feel resentful and always wanted to impeach them.

Now, Fang Xuanling, the right servant, knew about the drought, but his left servant, Fang Xuanling, only found out because he couldn't hide it. This shows how unhappy he felt.

Now that I have the opportunity, how can I not get to the bottom of it? Maybe I can get hold of Fang Xuanling and others by their hair and meddle with them.

But his question aroused strong dissatisfaction from Li Er.

"Xiao Shiwen (Shiwen is Xiao Yu's name), don't you believe me? Humph, I'm telling you that the other party is a genius and more capable than you. This drought will not only make you a lot of money, but also

It can also punish corrupt officials and profiteers, help the court raise food, stabilize food prices, and even help others obtain official positions."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yu did not give in and immediately retorted loudly: "Have you ever thought about how he earned his huge wealth? Maybe he sucked the blood of the common people."

"Tang Jian, tell him how Li Feng made his fortune."

"yes."

Tang Jian began to slowly tell the story of how Li Feng made his fortune.

After Du Ruhui listened, he whispered to Fang Xuanling on the side: "Talents know how to take advantage of opportunities. They only used 20,000 guan to make more than 200,000 guan."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "I'm just a little bolder."

Changsun Wuji also said: "Old Fang, do you know this person named Li Feng?"

Fang Xuanling was wary and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Why are you acting so defensive?" Changsun Wuji said unhappily, "I just want to make friends with such talents, can't I?"

"Okay, if I have the chance, I will take you there, but the scandal comes first. Li Feng is a talent that I like, and none of you can compete with me."

"You can't say this, what if he wants to follow me?"

"Then find a way to get to know him yourself, don't let me introduce him."

"you……"

"Okay, stop arguing. They haven't even said a word about their horoscopes before they start robbing people. Don't forget, there is Your Majesty here too." Du Ruhui directly stopped the two of them from arguing.

On the other side, Xiao Yu was shocked after hearing this. What kind of monster is this Li Feng? He only used a mere 20,000 guan to earn more than 200,000 guan of family property.

Not only that, he sold the grain to the court at a low price, so the court had to express gratitude, especially when he suppressed the price of grain.

"Xiao Shiwen, do you have anything else to say?" Li Er asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Yu said: "Wei Chen just said one word. If we don't see the results, Wei Chen will always be worried."

"Okay, then wait, let's wait and see the results in ten days. Everyone, please step aside." After Li Er finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the Manna Hall.

Everyone also left the Manna Hall one after another.

Wei Zheng walked up to Xiao Yu and loudly accused him: "Xiao Xiang, do you want the court to have no food and the price of food to remain high, or do you want this drought to continue."

"Wei Zheng, what do you mean?" Xiao Yu roared with a livid face.

"What do I mean? What else do I want to ask you? The Tang Dynasty finally produced such a talent to help the court solve the drought. Why do you keep targeting him like this?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Do you know what methods the other party can use to lower food prices?" After Xiao Yu asked, looking at Wei Zheng's silence, he continued to ask: "You and I know nothing, why do you think food prices will definitely fall?"

"I believe in Your Majesty. What about you? You actually doubt His Majesty."

"Huh, I won't argue with you. We'll see the results in ten days." Xiao Yu couldn't explain this and could only judge the outcome based on the results.

Wei Zheng did not expect that the other party would be so rogue, so he could only be angry but had no choice.

Du Ruhui came over and said, "Master Wei, there is no need to be angry. I believe in Your Majesty. I will take a good look at him after I know the results in ten days."

"Master Du, are you trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife? His Majesty has long wanted you to become Zuo Pushe. But Prime Minister Xiao has always been diligent and has not made any big mistakes. Even if he targets Your Majesty this time, his intentions are still good.

It is impossible to completely deny Xiang Xiao just because of Master Du's words."

"Haha... Mr. Wei, since you don't want to get involved with him, why do you say so much? Wouldn't it be great to see the results in ten days?"

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Thank you, Brother Du, for reminding me. I was reckless."

"You're welcome. We are officials in the same dynasty. We should understand, tolerate and cooperate with each other. Only then will the Tang Dynasty become stronger and stronger, and the people's lives will be better and better."

"Thank you, Brother Du, for your advice."

Wei Zheng was not usually a reckless person. Only when matters related to the court and the people would he be reckless and reckless.

Just like if Li Er makes a small mistake, Wei Zheng will magnify it infinitely until Li Er apologizes.

This made him have to be whipped by Li Er after he died.

…

Time passed day by day, and on the first day, Li Feng pushed the price of grain to the highest point, thirty cents per dou. This made grain merchants who originally wanted to wait and see to open stores to sell grain.

On that day, the price of grain in Chang'an became thirty cents per dou, and the people complained. This made Xiao Yu excitedly enter the palace and want to question Li Er, why the price of grain had risen so outrageously instead of falling.

Li Er didn't see him, so he kicked him out of the palace and ordered him to see the results in ten days.

Xiao Yu was not only not angry when he was kicked out of the palace, but he was very happy and excited. In his opinion, the emperor was panicked.

However, Li Er did not panic at all. He had known Li Feng's plan for a long time, so he secretly protected and helped Li Feng a lot.

The grain price dropped a lot the next day, much more and faster than Li Feng expected. The price of grain the next day became sixteen cents per dou.

After Li Feng learned the news, he asked Uncle Forbes to investigate and found out that the grain merchants were panicking. When they saw someone lowering the price, they followed suit and lowered the price even lower. Li Feng smiled even more happily. His plan

will be completed early.

After Xiao Yu learned that food prices had dropped, he began to wonder about the reasons for the drop in food prices.

The whole of Chang'an seems to be slowly returning to life due to the drop in food prices.

Fang Fu, Du Ruhui, Tang Jian, Wei Zheng and others discussed the real reasons for the decline in grain prices.

"On the second day, the food price dropped by twelve cents, which was more than expected." Du Ruhui said.

Wei Zheng said: "Yesterday, when the price of food rose to thirty cents per dou, I even had the idea of ​​killing Li Feng.

I saw the drop in food prices today, which made me interested in Li Feng. If he can come to Yushi Yamen, I am willing to give up my position to him."

"Don't think about it. He has no intention of becoming an official. Otherwise, his achievements would be enough for him to become an official." Fang Xuanling said.

"That's right... Xuanling, let's go find Li Feng and ask him to tell us why the food price has dropped so fast?" Du Ruhui said.

"Okay. But we have to wait until the matter is over before looking for him." Fang Xuanling responded.

"That's fine."

On the third day, the price of grain dropped again by ten cents. It became six cents a dou, which was close to the lowest price.

In the past three days, all the grain merchants knew that they had been fooled. Someone was manipulating the price, but they didn't know who it was. At the same time, they were powerless to push the price up.

As for the court, Tang Jian benefited from Li Feng and was able to eat a lot of food at the price of six cents per dou, so he no longer had to worry about insufficient disaster relief food.
