Chapter 219 Look again, can food prices drop?
Wang Cai and others also saw Zhao Ning and were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Zhao Ning would come here again.
Now there is a good show, kill him!
Before Wang Zonglio could react, Zhou Yan said again: "This is the Yamen of Taifu Temple Trading Bureau. Now that Captain Wang is here, how dare you make a mistake!"
When Wang Zonglio heard Zhou Yan's words, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up and slapped him.
Zhou Yan, you are fucking looking for the restroom. Did you come here to drag me to the restroom with you?
Wang Zonglio ran over quickly, looking at a loss, and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
When everyone saw Wang Zonglio kneeling, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
This, this, this...this...
Zhao Ning sat there and said calmly: "What are you guilty of?"
"This...I don't know what happened..."
"Get up."
Wang Zongliu got up quickly when he saw that Zhao Guanjia didn't seem angry in his tone.
Zhou Yan stayed there completely.
Wang Cai, Zhu Shen, Li Xun and others also stayed there, eyes wide open, like ducks being strangled by their necks.
Everyone on the other side raised Li Chunmao, a doctor in the city's trade department. When he saw his immediate boss behaving like this, he immediately realized the identity of the person in front of him.
He hurriedly came over and said: "I have all recommended Li Chunmao, the doctor of the Yi Department of the city, to see your majesty, Holy Ann."
Zhao Ning didn't even look at him, but said lightly: "I... feel uneasy."
Although this sentence was plain, it had an invisible pressure, as if a mountain was pressing on Li Chunmao's heart, making him stay there without taking a breath.
Zhao Ning just sat there, drinking tea by himself, as if nothing happened.
But the surrounding air has solidified.
Zhou Yan walked over in trembling fright, knelt on the ground, put his forehead on the back of his hands, and covered his head with his long sleeves. His throat was dry, as if something was stuck there.
It seemed that Zhou Yan had exhausted all his strength before he said: "I...I see your majesty...your majesty..."
Li Xun, Wang Cai, and Zhu Shen also quickly knelt on the ground. Like Zhou Yan, they buried their heads in their long sleeves and shivered.
Zhao Ning was still drinking tea without even looking at it.
He didn't speak, and no one dared to speak.
It seemed like a long time passed before Zhou Yan plucked up the courage and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Zhao Ning still didn't speak, and everyone found it very difficult to breathe.
It wasn't until Zhao Ning finished drinking the tea that he said, "Can I sell it for seven hundred coins and one stone?"
Zhou Yan's whole body trembled and he quickly said: "Yes...it can be sold!"
"Can it be sold?"
"able!"
"Isn't this what Zhou Yuanwailang said in the Qian family?"
"Death penalty!"
"Li Xun, Zhu Shen, Wang Cai."
Every time the Zhao Guan family read a name, it was as if a mountain was pressing down on their heads, so heavy that their whole bodies seemed to burst.
"The grass people...the grass people are here..."
"Seven hundred coins per stone, can you sell it?"
"Your Majesty, it's all Zhou..."
"I asked you if you can sell it for 700 Wen?"
"Can...can be sold!"
Zhao Ning put down the tea cup in his hand and glanced at Zhou Yan: "Wang Yuanwai Lang, has Taiwei Wang come to see you?"
"Looking for... looking for..."
"Did I tell you about the food price issue?"
"said."
"I gave you a chance. If you had listened to Captain Wang, how could things have gotten to this point today?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to press, it's that I'm short of food..."
Before he could finish speaking, the cup in Zhao Ning's hand had been thrown to one side and smashed into pieces in the flower bed on the side.
Everyone wanted to debate a few words, but immediately shut up.
Zhao Guanjia lowered his voice: "Zhou Yuanwailang, what a trick! Put verbal pressure on every businessman who comes to Beijing, leaving no trace!"
"Your Majesty, I was instructed by Li Chunmao, and it was Li Chunmao who instructed me..."
Li Chunmao knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, he is spitting blood."
Before he could say anything, Zhao Guanjia waved his hand: "Drag these two people out and chop them at the entrance of the Commercial Bureau. After the chop, the charges will be announced to all the merchants outside."
"Your Majesty, I am wronged..."
Li Chunmao and Zhou Yan were dragged away by the commander in front of the palace. Their faces turned pale and they shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life..."
Li Chunmao is Li Xun's father. Li Xun was so frightened that he trembled and peed.
Zhao Ning added: "Wang Cai, Li Xun, and Zhu Shen were all put on death row, their homes were ransacked, and their families were sent into exile to guard the border!"
The three of them collapsed on the ground and allowed themselves to be dragged down.
"Within three months, we can lower the price of food in Tokyo to 700 cents per stone. Is that okay?"
Wang Zongliu broke into cold sweat on his forehead: "No problem."
Zhao Ning got up and walked through the back door.
Food prices are naturally determined by economic activities.
In a free market, supply and demand determine commodity prices.
But don’t forget, this is the world of Hayek’s theory. Even Yingjiang, who admires Hayekism, is almost killed by this trick.
The economic base and superstructure interact with each other.
With both administration and supply under control, I don’t believe that food prices can’t come down.
Not only in Tokyo, but also in Gyeonggi Province, food prices will fall.
By lowering food prices, we can improve our popularity to a greater extent, win a stronger mass base, and repair the damage caused by the new agricultural policy in Gyeonggi Road as quickly as possible.
The merchants in the front hall only heard faint shouts from behind, but unexpectedly, they were soon informed that Li Chunmao and Zhou Yan had been beheaded at the door.
Everyone was promoted to the Municipal Bureau of Economic Affairs, and all the officials in the Commercial and Cooperative Bureau were shocked. Only then did they know that His Majesty the Emperor was in the Commercial Bureau.
Their charges were quickly announced.
The two Qian brothers and sisters sitting below looked shocked when they heard about it.
Qian Jinshu didn't expect that Zhao Guanjia was here and killed Zhou Yan so quickly.
The next discussion between Wang Zonglio and the businessmen was much simpler, and everyone responded to whatever requests they made.
What is included in the register, who goes where to increase the food supply, and how much it costs to sell to the front line are all easy to discuss.
By the time the meeting ended, it was already afternoon.
Wang Zonglio received the Qian brothers and sisters alone.
The Qian brothers and sisters did not expect that they would be received by the current Wang Taiwei, so they naturally would not miss this opportunity.
"Are you two from Hangzhou?"
"yes."
"What is your relationship with Rongguo Gong Qian Chen?"
He said that Qian Chen was a descendant of Qian Liu, the founding king of Wuyue in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, during the southern expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, Qian Hongchu, the monarch of Wu and Yue, respected Qian Chen's ancestral teachings. In order to save the people, he voluntarily surrendered to the Song Dynasty and took three thousand people of the Qian family to Kaifeng to meet Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin was also known for his benevolence and accepted the Qian family with gentle means.
After that, many members of the Qian family stayed in Kaifeng, and some branches were still in Hangzhou, spreading their branches in the Jiangnan area.
