Chapter 2077 The eldest princess who escaped death (89)
"Actually, we don't want to confront His Highness the Crown Prince unless we have to. We should live in peace. As long as you agree to this, we will support your ascension to the throne. You will no longer have to preside over the government as the Crown Prince, but will become the Emperor.
"
Of course, Chen Yuantao's words were just words.
Once the other party kills Gong Yuhuai and falls out with Gong Yu's family, becoming the crown prince will be a problem.
"Master, you are very confident."
Chen Yuantao smiled: "This is also because I have some ability."
The audience in the live broadcast room was already scolding Chen Yuantao.
"I thought the Grand Master had some good ideas. It turns out that this matter has something to do with the Grand Master. It seems we can't discuss it anymore."
Chen Yuantao was not surprised, he shook off his sleeves and left. After all, the other party had not learned his lesson yet, just wait and see.
"Your Highness, do you believe it or not? Tomorrow the price of food will rise to five taels of silver. If this continues, how many people will starve to death and you will scold you."
"No matter how smart and wise you are, if you don't let the people have enough to eat, they will still scold you."
Qian Yan said: "I don't know whether your grain will increase by five taels, but I know that if you don't sell your grain early, it will rot in the warehouse."
Chen Yuantao only felt that Qian Yan was telling lies and didn't believe it.
The opponent is smart, but it is impossible to beat him this time.
[Old guy, you are wrong. Your Majesty has been preparing for this matter for so long. 】
[Waiting for this old guy to be pissed to death.]
【This kind of person is really disgusting.】
The next day, as Chen Yuantao said, the price of grain soared to five taels per liter, causing another wave of panic.
Just when many people decided to take out their belongings to buy food, Jiao Wenjin led a team of people and appeared on the streets of the capital with drums and gongs, announcing that all people should not be nervous. The state-owned food store belonging to Dai Viet was about to open.
Each household can purchase food based on the number of people in the household.
Some people were skeptical at first, but later found out that it was true.
In the entire capital, four Dayue grain stores were opened. The area was so large that it seemed as if they were opened overnight.
The people went to ask about the price and found that it was almost the same as before. They were immediately overjoyed and hurried home to get their identity documents and buy according to the amount of the family.
There were still Dai Viet soldiers guarding the Dai Viet grain store, and they immediately felt at ease. They planned to come back tomorrow to have a look. If the Dai Viet grain store was always there, then they really didn't have to worry about anything.
Jiao Wenjin didn't waste any time, praising Qianyan's achievements in various ways.
Those who bought cheap grain couldn't help but nod. Your Highness is good. Dayue Grain Store is so conscientious. How much better than those grain dealers who try hard to raise prices.
Chen Yuantao soon learned of this and immediately arranged for people to buy grain from the common people at a price of one tael.
"Only one tael? You are really profiteers. You sell five taels for yourself, and the one who buys us is only one tael. No, no, no."
No one who came to buy it expected that these people would react like this.
How did they know that Jiao Wenjin asked all the people in the grain stores to tell the people who were buying grain that if anyone came to buy grain, they would definitely have to compare it with the prices of their grain merchants. The price was too low and it was not cost-effective.
They spent so much money buying food, how can they make it back?
Everyone thought it was reasonable, so they despised Yiliang. These profiteers were really too treacherous.
To buy the grain from their hands, you need at least three taels, not one tael.
Of course, some of the people were disguised by Jiao Wenjin, so they could be driven so smoothly among the crowd.
