Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 52

Lou Jing was puzzled.

"Li Xiang, why is this?"

Most of the grain in the capital's thirteen warehouses came from Guangling Road and Huainan Road.

Even if he builds four more granaries, he allocates them from all over the place, and they can fill up the seventeen granaries.

However, he really didn't understand how Li Xiang came up with the idea of ​​using the money from the treasury to buy grain in the Western Zhou Kingdom.

Dachu granary, he has never heard of the precedent of buying grain in the past.

"Li Xiang, what happened to Guangling Road and Huainan Road?"

Li Yunsheng thought about it, but he still didn't tell the truth to Lou Jing.

"It won't be long before Weiguo hoards grain.

Not only do I want him not to be able to buy grain in Dachu, but even in the Western Zhou Dynasty. "

Lou Jing still didn't quite understand.

"Aren't we repairing the exchange with Weiguo? This is to grab food from them—"

Li Yunsheng interrupted his question directly.

"Just do what you do, and you'll be responsible for what happened."

"However, even if the seventeen warehouses are empty, it is impossible to keep the grain of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Buy as much as you can, just use the grain from the Western Zhou Dynasty to fill up the seventeen warehouses for me."

Lou Jing nodded frequently.

"The officer understands."

Although he didn't understand why he did this, but looking at Li Xiang's posture, it was a big deal.

He didn't dare to ask any extra questions, he just did what he did and he was right.

"Okay, I will allocate the 300 million taels of silver for disaster relief later.

100 million will be sent to my house, and I will use the rest for disaster relief. "

"The subordinate understands!"

He really understood what he said, yes, it was the familiar Li Xiang.

……

Li House.

"Liu Quan, send these letters out."

Liu Quan received the letters, there were six or seven of them.

"Master, is there something important?"

Because these letters were sent to officials in Jiangnan, Jiannan, Lingnan, Guangling, and Huainan respectively.

Da Chu ten ways, this has already accounted for half.

If it is not a major event, it is impossible to notify so many people.

Li Yunsheng leaned over his desk and looked at the map in front of him.

"Liu Quan, there is a Fusheng grain store in the capital, which is said to be the largest grain store in the capital's grain business."

Liu Quan responded tremblingly.

"Yes."

Li Yunsheng looked up.

"I heard that the owner of this shop is named Liu?"

Liu Quan's legs softened: "Master Xiang..."

"Seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, you kid can do it, you can do such a big business behind my back."

"Hey, it's all thanks to Master Xiang."

In fact, in this Xiangye's mansion, the managers with a little seniority have somehow gained some face in the capital.

They are people in Xiangye's mansion, and outsiders will have to give way when they see them.

Just because they touched the edge of a Li character.

Relying on this relationship, some opened pawn shops in the capital, and some opened silk and satin shops.

Whether big or small, they all earned a share of their own property.

He grew up in Li's Mansion since he was a child, and he is also the general manager. He also has a lot of natural property.

Anyone who has business in Li's mansion outside must pay interest to the mansion.

It's just that his grain store was opened secretly, and it was not accounted for by the mansion.

Li Yunsheng said calmly.

"I won't pursue it in the past, and I will open it as usual in the future."

Liu Quan grinned.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang!"

Regardless of whether his heart hurts or not, Li Yunsheng continued.

"Don't be too busy thanking me, Mr. Xiang still has something to do."

"The Prime Minister ordered me to go through fire and water—"

"Okay, okay, during this time, put down everything in your hands and stock up your granary.

In addition, build a few more large granaries, and store as much as you can. "

"Master Xiang, it's no problem to hoard food."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Quan showed embarrassment.

"But I don't have that much money to build a granary to store food."

"You can withdraw the 700 million taels of silver that the empress brought from the inner treasury as you like."

Liu Quan's breathing became a little short, and he was allowed to withdraw 700 million taels of silver at will.

Seeing his appearance, Li Yunsheng gave a warning.

"If you dare to take more than one silver coin from Master Zhenxiang, I will chop off your paw!"

Liu Quan shrank his hands.

"Master Xiang, show me the truth, or I won't be able to let go."

Li Yunsheng got up and walked to his side, speaking earnestly.

"Liu Quan, this time you let go and do it.

By this time next year, the grain sales will double.

How much you can hoard, how much you can earn then, understand? "

Liu Quan stood where he was, unable to recover for a while.

Double the sales, the money earned is worth his revenue for several years.

Thirty-seven million taels, this is a huge deal.

"Master Xiang, if I exchange all the 700 million taels for grain, will I be able to sell them all next year?"

This amount is too large, he is afraid that if it falls into his hands...

"Why, you don't believe what the Prime Minister said?"

"Believe, believe, believe." Liu Quan rolled his eyes, "Master, isn't there a catastrophe near the capital?"

This is the only possibility he can think of. In the event of a catastrophe, the price of food will double.

Li Yunsheng nodded, his tone a little heavy.

"Yes, that is a national catastrophe,"

Liu Quan knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for the reward!"

This is a big business, and his own grain store can make a lot of money along with it.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Li Yunsheng turned around and walked to the table. On the map, the Western Zhou Dynasty bordered Dachu.

At the same time, the two countries surrounded Weiguo, and on the other side of Weiguo was the boundless sea.

If Weiguo wanted to go north, he had only two choices, either the Western Zhou Dynasty or the Great Chu.

Obviously, Weiguo chose Dachu as the goal of going north.

At the beginning, he thought that no one in Weiguo would be able to see his intentions, so he showed his weakness to the enemy and did not move Weiguo's spies.

Because once Weiguo finds out, it's easy to get sidetracked.

But the assassination at the hunting ground made him understand that someone in Weiguo had already guessed his true intention.

Of course, after making such a fuss, he also knew of Wen Renxu's existence.

Now, the two of them are playing their cards right.

However, at this time, the general trend has come, and Wen Renxu also understands that it is impossible to stop Leno from being sold to Da Chu.

Weiguo's spies in the capital were all pulled out, and the news spread back.

The plan to assassinate the Empress failed, Wen Renxu would definitely think of other ways.

Under the influence of this general trend, both sides can only see each other and see who takes the lead.

Of course, as an author, he has one more advantage over Wen Renxu, that is, he can know what will happen in the future.

Although since arguing with the Empress Chaotang, the plot has changed.

Many plots have changed accordingly, but some things will not change.

As for why he went to Qingzhou for disaster relief in person.

Wanting to keep the disaster relief funds in hand is one of the reasons, and another reason is that Jingming Mountain is located in Qingzhou.

He was holding a sky-reaching talisman in his hand, and he could feel at ease only if he studied how to activate it as soon as possible.

To be honest, the only Taoist he knows who is really capable is the Jingming Mountain.

So, go to Jingming Mountain to ask for advice on how to activate the talisman, and help a disaster by the way.
