Just like this, within two days, a grain shortage broke out in Longcheng. Those grain merchants finally knew what happened, but even if they knew it, it was already too late. The news reported by the people they sent to purchase food was even more shocking.
They were shocked. There were countless officers and soldiers blocking the official road. All the passing grain trucks were detained by them. Moreover, the other party actually had an imperial edict in their hands, so the grain was forcibly bought by the officers and soldiers. The grain merchants did not even refuse.
There is no possibility. Now it is impossible to transport a grain of food into Longcheng. The price of food in Longcheng has increased three times. However, because the food is eaten less and less, the price of food is still increasing.
However, the grain merchants actually had no grain in their hands. This is really a big joke!
However, after an investigation by the grain merchants, it was discovered that it was the Sixth Prince Long Sheng who was causing trouble. However, the other party was a prince, and they were just businessmen. However, driven by huge profits, the grain merchants still found them through connections.
Wu Qing hopes to get a share of the pie.
However, the price Wu Qing proposed was five times the original price and even higher than the current market price, which led to the negotiation between them breaking up. However, these grain merchants did not give up and indeed
This matter has been brought to the attention of the government, and I hope the government can come forward to resolve the matter at hand.
The government also hopes to solve the current crisis, and there is no guarantee that something will happen if it continues like this! But after the government found Long Sheng, Long Sheng directly took out the imperial edict, and then said with a smile: He is
When doing things according to the order, whoever obstructs him is disobeying the order. If anyone dares to stop him, he will directly send troops to arrest him.
Under Long Sheng's toughness, the government did not dare to ask about this matter anymore.
At this time, not only ordinary people had a problem eating food, but also officials and officials.
Moreover, the officials have a large family to feed, and they consume a lot of food every day. Now that there is no food, they are the ones who are most distressed.
The second prince was the first to lose his temper and came to Long Sheng's house angrily.
"Second brother can come to my little brother's house, I'm really happy!" Long Sheng said with a smile after seeing Long Yan:
"Sixth brother is really so laid-back! I wonder if sixth brother knows that there is a food shortage in Longcheng right now!" Long Yan said:
"Really? It's none of my business!" Long Sheng said with a smile:
"You said it's none of your business! This is all caused by you. If you hadn't sold out all the food in Longcheng and cut off the transportation channels, how could this situation have happened!" Long!
Yan said angrily:
"Really? I am also following orders! My father asked me to raise food. If you have any complaints, you should go to your father! Why are you coming to me? If there is nothing important, second brother
If there is anything else, should I leave first? I have many important things to be busy with!" Long Sheng gave the order to expel the guests:
"Wait a minute, look at what this is!" Long Yan took out a plate of IOUs and said:
"Isn't this just an IOU? Second brother, show me what these are for!" Long Sheng said with a smile:
"This is the money I paid for you. I'm here to ask for money today. These IOUs are evidence!" Long Yan said:
"It turns out that the second brother came today to extort money from the younger brother! It seems that the second brother is also in poverty now! If the second brother really has some problems in life now, then the younger brother can help the second brother, so why bother the second brother?
What a way to do this!" Long Sheng said with a smile:
"You actually said that I came to blackmail you. It's really unreasonable. This is obviously what you bought, but you asked me to pay for it. Is there anything wrong with me asking for the account?" Long Yan said:
"Second brother! You have to see it clearly! This is an IOU signed by your housekeeper! Then it is money owed by your housekeeper to others. What does this have to do with me? Second brother should find your housekeeper.
That's right!" Long Sheng said with a smile:
"But my housekeeper said that you forced him to owe it. How can you explain this?" Long Yan said:
"Second brother is really easy to deceive! How can you believe what a slave says! If I ask him to sign, he will sign! Why won't he die if I ask him to die? And second brother is really worthy of being in the Ministry of Household Affairs
What a job! The servants at home actually paid their bills with purple gold! A few thousand taels of purple gold is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and tens of millions of taels of silver! It seems that the second brother is really rich!" Long Sheng picked up an IOU.
He looked at it and said with a smile:
"It seems that you are not going to admit it." Long Yan said angrily:
"If I didn't do it, how can I hold it accountable?" Long Sheng said with a smile:
"Okay, now I'm trying to teach Sixth Brother your methods!" Long Yan said through gritted teeth:
"Thank you for the compliment, second brother. If you have nothing to do, please come back! Little brother, I have to be busy with matters in the west." Long Sheng issued the expulsion order again:
"Okay, you are cruel, the food in Longcheng is relatively tight now, so I am here to borrow some food from you. I don't think my sixth brother will not lend it to me!" Long Yan said:
"It turns out that this is the original purpose of the second brother! It's just that these grains are bought with money, and they are all sent to the west for relief to the victims in the west. If the little brother gives the grain to the second brother, then the west
What should I do with the victims! How about I give the second brother as much food as he wants after my younger brother solves the disaster in the west? I don’t know what the second brother wants!" Long Sheng said with a smile:
"After you finish relieving the west, I'm afraid all the people in Dragon City will starve to death. I'm afraid the food shortage in Dragon City will become worse than the drought in the west! We really can't afford to wait! And the Dragon Saint is
This guy is simply too bad. He clearly wants money! And it seems that he wants to take this opportunity to make a lot of money! Long Sheng tried every means to get money from me from the beginning, and now he has done this again
As soon as it comes out, it seems that Long Sheng really loves money! And he has simply fallen in the eyes of money, and his appetite is still surprisingly big. Is she really not afraid of overwhelming him to death? And the food shortage this time has already happened
All the families are full of resentment towards Long Sheng! Does he really care about everything for money? It seems that this Long Sheng doesn't care about anything else except money! What if it were my other brothers?
They all think that if this is the case with Dragon Saint, then the throne will be mine, but this is just a thought, and this Dragon Saint is simply a lawless lunatic. If he wants money, just give it to him. He is a short-sighted person.
People can't achieve great things, and after I become the emperor, all the wealth he has accumulated will become mine, so I just have to endure it for now." Long Yan thought in his heart:
