Chapter 2078 The eldest princess who escaped death (90)
Chen Yuantao almost vomited blood when he heard that others disliked him.
He suspected that Qian Yan deliberately misled them to make them think that the other party really had a lot of grain in their hands. Otherwise, why would the Dai Viet Grain Store impose purchase restrictions instead of letting people buy it?
So he made a determined decision and raised the price of grain purchases.
He thought Qianyan's side wouldn't be able to sustain it for long. After all, it wasn't just the capital that was short of food.
However, several days passed before I knew it, and the grain store in Dayue was not only not lacking, but seemed to be getting more and more.
The aristocratic families behind Chen Yuantao couldn't help but find him and ask him what he should do. If His Highness the Prince's side had enough food, then they would all be wasted.
Chen Yuantao decided to persist.
However, if we continue to wait, we will not see the bottom of the grain store in Dayue.
At the same time, he received bad news.
Dai Viet Grain Shops seemed to open overnight in various places in Dai Viet, meeting the food needs of the people.
"Sell it."
Grain merchants understood that Chen Yuantao's plan had failed, so they could only endure the pain and sell the grain.
But with the prices at the Dai Viet Grain Store, it would be impossible for them to sell them too high.
The purchase of these grains is already on the high side, so this is a real loss.
What the grain merchants didn't expect was that no one would buy their grain unless they lowered the price.
As a last resort, they finally approached Qian Yan and did not let Chen Yuantao mention the matter. After all, Chen Yuantao had offended His Highness the Crown Prince and they entrusted another minister.
"Let's invite them all in tomorrow morning. I just have some things to solve."
The major grain merchants couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they found out about this. His Royal Highness was still willing to discuss it, so they shouldn't lose too much.
The next day, morning.
As soon as Manchao entered the palace, he felt something was wrong, because there seemed to be more guards today.
"I can help you consume the grain in your hands, but everything you sell from now on must accept the price guidance of Dayue Grain Store."
"I am just informing you, not discussing with you. You don't have to agree."
The grain merchants who originally wanted to refute were immediately speechless. This time, no one thought Qian Yan was joking.
They were once proud of their aristocratic family, but suddenly found that all their wings were broken, and they had to agree to this condition.
Dai Viet's lifeline is controlled by Dai Viet itself, not by them.
Chen Yuantao seemed to have aged a lot as he stood there silently.
Ye Feng was a little unable to hold back, as if he understood something, he jumped out and pointed at Qian Yan and said: "Ye Zhi, have you put my father under house arrest? You are so bold if you haven't released my father yet."
After he said this, not a single minister present stood up to support him.
Ye Feng's voice stopped suddenly, and he forgot what he wanted to say for a moment.
【Sudden embarrassment.】
【Hahaha, laugh to death.】
Ye Kang almost couldn't hold back his laughter and covered the corners of his mouth.
He really wanted to tell Ye Feng that with such a big brother, don't think about anything and just be a younger brother.
However, the Chen family has an unresolved grudge with the eldest brother, so it doesn't seem to work.
Several major grain merchants finally compromised, and their waists instantly bent a lot.
"Next, let me solve another matter."
Qian Yan waved to the outside of the palace, and several people were immediately escorted in. They were the assassins who had been chasing them.
"It's time to deal with the mastermind behind the assassination of my family."
Manchao was suddenly startled and couldn't help but look at Chen Yuantao's position. He wouldn't want to solve it here, would he?
