Chapter 93 Wei Zheng took the wrong medicine today
Chapter 93: Did Wei Zheng take the wrong medicine today?
Ma Zhou and several of his current friends were also mixed in the crowd at this time.
They stared at the scene in front of them dumbfounded, feeling that it was all like a dream. They were even prepared to agitate privately, and as a result, everyone spontaneously walked to the streets and alleys and in front of the grain store.
Among them were not only students from poor families, but also many young men from wealthy families, and even some notorious dandies. At this time, they were just like ordinary people, greeting the poor people on the street and sending them greetings.
He gave money to give gifts and even personally lined up for people to buy food.
this--
Overnight, the atmosphere in Chang'an changed drastically?
When their eyes fell on the family flags fluttering in the wind behind these people, they couldn't help but have thoughtful expressions on their faces.
He could understand that these powerful people from aristocratic families cherished feathers, but what they couldn't figure out was why the atmosphere on the streets of Chang'an had changed drastically overnight.
Is it possible that it was just because of what Prince An said at Kongji Winery yesterday?
…
Today, major grain stores are under great pressure.
Because they discovered that a group of huskies suddenly joined the grain buying team.
On these days, even when the shopkeeper sees him, he has to carry his very careful young men, one by one, with bags in front of his counter, waiting to buy food.
The most exaggerated thing is that one of the masters seems to have another young boss!
stressed.
The boy in charge of weighing the grain had his hands shaking, and he felt so confused that he wanted to cry.
Should I serve more, or should I deduct more?
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, our - the price of our food will go up today?"
Shopkeeper:......
The shopkeeper looked at the messy and strange grain-purchasing queue outside, felt cruel, and slapped his thigh.
"Increase! Before receiving the notice from the family, according to the original plan, the price will increase three times a day!"
…
Whether food prices will rise or not, these young men have no idea at all.
Is there any difference between seven coins per dou or twenty coins per dou?
nonexistent!
What made them happy was that when they threw food to the refugees, they saw the grateful expressions of the refugees, and the way Princess Changle nodded slightly in approval to them.
Tsk!
It feels pretty good to be a good person occasionally.
As the person in charge of the grain store, Cui Ming, the third son of the Cui family, did not end up personally. He huddled in a restaurant not far from his grain store, holding a wine glass and looking down, his eyes leisurely, the corners of his mouth turned up, with a three-pointed expression.
Proud, half happy.
This wave is a sure profit!
Those idiots outside are confused. Do they know the difference between twenty cents and twenty-three cents, or thirty cents?
Even if they knew, would they care?
Even if they cared, would they compromise themselves on such an occasion?
nonexistent!
If you don't take the opportunity to make a big killing, you will be sorry to them.
"Go and tell the shopkeeper that the grain depot is in urgent need and the price of grain will double——"
The boy waiting next to him took the order in a low voice and hurried away.
…
Not far from Dongsheng Grain Store, there was an exquisite carriage parked.
Inside the carriage, Princess Changle was in a good mood, happily eating sweet cakes, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a crescent moon with happiness.
"Sister Ying'er, look, those people outside not only help us buy food, but also don't have to spend our money. They are really good people - we have saved a lot of money. I guess that little girl who is handsome and speaks nicely
Scholars will definitely praise the two of us for our abilities..."
Cheng Ying'er:......
Your Highness, please eat your cake!
Doesn't this stop you?
As the leading grain merchant in Chang'an, Dongsheng Grain Store has seen grain prices rise again, and the rise is so heart-warming.
Without any hesitation, the rest of the food stores rushed forward.
Another round of food price increase turmoil started to sweep through Chang'an crazily amid the hustle and bustle.
Li Shimin had just finished the morning court and returned to his imperial study to sit down. He saw Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian and Wei Zheng who had already gone to court hurried over.
"Your Majesty - something bad is happening!"
The serious expressions on the faces of several people startled Li Shimin, and he jumped down from the couch with a slap on the ground.
"What happened?"
"Since yesterday, the price of grain has been rising three times a day, and today it suddenly jumped to twenty-seven cents per dou, which is more than four times higher than the day before yesterday. If this continues, something big will happen!"
Li Shimin:......
The sweat on his palms instantly broke out.
This price is really horrible.
Since the beginning of winter, food has been in short supply. Food prices in Chang'an City have remained high, putting great pressure on people's livelihood.
It has risen so much in just two days, something big is going to happen!
Wang Zi'an, you brat, you are playing with fire!
At this price, it's okay for a short time, but once the food stored in people's homes is exhausted, I'm afraid there will really be problems.
When he thought of this, Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore.
"Inform the troops guarding the city to take strict precautions. Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble will be killed without mercy! Inform Chang'an County and Wannian County to strengthen patrols and ensure stability. My dear friends, you are in charge of the overall situation here - Xuancheng, Maoyue,
You two go out with me..."
After Li Shimin finished explaining, he hurried out with Wei Zheng and Tang Jian.
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving in a hurry.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were thoughtful, while Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and glanced towards the east of the city intentionally or unintentionally.
Are you looking for that prince again?
Has this reached the point where you have to ask Zian if the matter is in doubt?
…
Li Shimin took Wei Zheng and Tang Jian to the palace gate, changed into regular clothes, got on the carriage, and headed straight to the east of the city.
During the car ride, Li Shimin briefly told Tang Jian a few words.
Tang Jian:......
Your Majesty, at such a tense moment, why did you bring us out just for a private visit?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Wei Zheng subconsciously. At this time, shouldn't it be the time for this old guy to jump out and angrily scold the emperor for his nonsense?
Did this old guy take the wrong medicine today?
There was no response at all!
Tang Jian immediately smelled an unusual smell.
Not normal, so abnormal.
"By the way, who was the person you said you wanted to see just now?"
Tang Jian suddenly felt something in his heart and raised his head in surprise.
"Zi'an, Wang Zi'an——"
Li Shimin leaned against the carriage, tapping his knees gently, thinking about what Wang Zi'an told him that day, and replied casually.
"Wang Zi'an—the one who made a big splash at Kong Jijiu's place yesterday?"
Yesterday, when he went back, he was still in bed listening to his old wife nagging him. He also vaguely heard his old wife reading two poems, but he didn't hear them clearly, so he fell asleep in a daze.
During this time, he was so tired that he fell asleep on the pillow.
We have to worry about the inward migration of the people at the border, the logistics rationing of grain and grass at the border, and the relief issues for the snowstorm in Guanzhong and the drought in Hedong. The whole person is spinning in circles, and it is really too much for those over fifty.
Wei Zheng nodded slightly, with a rare smile on his face.
"That's right, it's that Wang Zi'an, this bastard, his reputation spread all over Chang'an City overnight, haha - I see, no matter how lazy he is in his small courtyard -"
