Chapter 774 One wave! (seeking a monthly ticket)
Chapter 774 It's a wave! (seeking a monthly ticket)
……
Tianrui Holy City.
Downtown area.
Dragons and snakes are mixed in this place, and there are all kinds of teahouses and restaurants.
One of the streets is a gathering place for various small grain merchants and drug dealers.
Dongye Brahma is the shopkeeper of a small grain merchant.
On this day, he opened the shop as usual, and after instructing a few staff, he went to the grain shop opposite with a pot of tea.
Compared with his shop, the grain shop opposite was obviously not doing well, and there were not many employees in the huge shop, which looked rather bleak.
In the shop, a middle-aged man in a brown robe was busy with his head bowed.
The quality of the robe on his body is good, but it has been washed a little white, and the cuffs are frayed, obviously it has been worn for many years.
"Brother Bohong." Dongye Fentian took a sip of tea, looked at his former competitor with a smile, and said in a slow tone, "Are you still selling your Lingmi? Tsk tsk, I'm not talking about you because of your temper. Lingmi has been at a low price for more than ten years, and sales are sluggish, can you survive like this?"
A hundred years ago, Dongye Fentian and Beigong Bohong were still good friends, but ever since they each opened a grain shop door to door, the relationship between the two has become increasingly cold and estranged.
It is understandable that colleagues are enemies.
But more than ten years ago, both of them stockpiled a lot of Lingmi, but the price of Lingmi plummeted.After a year or two each, Dongye Fentian was flexible and felt that the sluggish grain market would not pick up in a short period of time, so he sold it to the buyer at [-]% of the price when there was a buyer secretly buying it.
Although this wave of meat cutting caused him a lot of losses, it also freed up funds for him.After thinking about it, he decided to switch to the elixir business, and over the past ten years or so, it has gradually brought back some of his vitality.
On the other hand, Beigong Bohong, the hoarded grains from that year are still backlogged in the warehouse, no matter who comes to collect them, they are clenching their teeth and unwilling to let go.Over the years, the store has become increasingly depressed, and funds have become increasingly tight, and even several of the guys have left.
This made Dongye Brahma even more grateful for his choice, and came to mock Beigong Bohong every now and then.
Faced with Dongye Fentian's ridicule, Beigong Bohong still worked silently and wiped the counter himself.
Seeing this, Dongye Brahma snorted lightly, and said lightly: "Brother Bo Hong, I advise you not to support yourself. How about this, don't open your shop, and even give me the store with the grain. You Take a sum of money and go back to the countryside early~"
Beigong Bohong had heard these words countless times over the years.He really didn't bother to talk to Dongye Brahma any more, he just ignored his words and went about his work on his own.
Higashino Brahma didn't care about this either, and after satisfying his sense of superiority sarcastically, he prepared to go back with the teapot.
Unexpectedly, at this time.
An extremely excited voice came from the street: "Brother-in-law, it's up, it's up~~"
Dongye Fentian swept his spiritual sense, only to find that it was Beigong Bohong's brother-in-law at the early stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.This kid looked very excited, flying all the way over with his body skills.
"What's going up?" Dongye Brahma stopped in his tracks, scolding and criticizing, "You brat, don't fly around so frizzy. This is a holy city. If you bump into someone big, you won't be able to go around. .”
"What's none of your business?" My brother-in-law glared at him, and then said to Beigong Bohong with ecstasy on his face, "Brother-in-law, the price of food has risen, and it has doubled overnight."
Dongye Fantian's face froze first: "How is it possible?"
Although it seems that there is indeed a shortage of food at the moment, Prince Wenyu's related industries are still suppressing food prices.
Prince Wen Yu is a man of heaven, if he wants to suppress the price of food, who can make the price of food go up?
On the contrary, Beigong Bohong's expression was as calm as usual: "Wen Le, Brother Fen Tian was right to criticize you. It's outrageous that you are so frizzy."
is talking.
A group of people suddenly came from the street.
The leader is the big treasurer of the famous grain merchant [Li's Firm] in Xiacheng District.
As soon as the shopkeeper came up, he smiled and cupped his hands at Beigong Bohong: "Brother Bohong, congratulations~"
There are very few grain merchants like Beigong Bohong who have gritted their teeth for more than ten years and have not sold grain at a low price. He has already become famous among the grain merchants in the lower city.
"Treasurer Li." Beigong Bohong didn't dare to neglect, and hastily returned the gift.
"Is the grain in storage still there?" Shopkeeper Li Da greeted him briefly, and then went straight to the point, "The current market price has doubled, and I will pay an extra [-]%. How about taking all your grain?"
Beigong Bohong frowned, and just as he was about to speak, a group of businessmen came beside him.
The leader among them is the big shopkeeper of [Zhao's Trading], also a big businessman in the lower city.
Compared to these two big firms, whether Beigong Bohong or Dongye Fentian, they are nothing more than small shrimps.
"Shopkeeper Li is so stingy, I'll add an extra [-]%!" Shopkeeper Zhao put on a fighting stance as soon as he came up.
"I will pay an extra [-]%!"
"I will pay an extra [-]%!"
Several other big merchants were also unwilling to show weakness, and it was you who bid up the price with each other.The scene looked like an auction.
Dongye Brahma looked at this and then that, his eyes became more and more shocked, and his face became paler and paler.
This price has already exceeded the highest price of grain by a large margin.
Doesn't this mean that Beigong Bohong didn't do anything in the past ten years, not only did he not lose money, but he also made an extra fortune?
"Two shopkeepers." Beigong Bohong looked at this posture, but he was surprised instead of happy. He hurriedly bowed to everyone, and said in a low voice, "I can only sell slowly in this small shop. I'm really sorry for you two." gone."
Now he dare not sell the grain on hand wholesale.Selling to this family will definitely offend another family.
And looking at this trend, there will be a continuous period of soaring food prices in the future, so he is not willing to cash out and leave the market immediately.
Selling slowly will definitely make a lot more profit than wholesale it directly.
The two big shopkeepers felt sorry when they heard the words, but they really didn't want to sell, and they couldn't buy and sell by force, so they had to stop their efforts and search for the next one without stopping.
Nowadays, as long as you can receive food, you are making money, and food has suddenly become hard currency.
Dongye Fantian recalled his previous cynicism, and felt his face was slapped.
He staggered back to his shop, with his head shrunk in annoyance.
If he had known this earlier, he would have followed Beigong Bohong and persisted.
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world, no matter how upset he is, there is nothing he can do.
Similar scenes are happening all over the holy city. Similarly, this wave of food price hikes will quickly spread throughout the holy dynasty and the surrounding fairy dynasties.
……
And with the gradual fermentation of this wave of price increases, some people can't sit still.
Inside the gatehouse of Prince Wen Yu's Mansion.
Helian Duocai was running around in a hurry.
These days, he had already sensed that something was wrong, and was going to discuss countermeasures with Prince Wen Yu, and even specially invited Yao Xingshu to drink for this purpose, and wanted him to help him make some indirect remarks.
Unexpectedly, it hadn't even started to work yet, oh my god, it suddenly collapsed.
No, early this morning, as soon as he realized that something was wrong, he hurried over to report to Prince Wen Yu.
It's a pity that among Prince Wen Yu's staff, he is only a peripheral role, and he does not have the right to enter the Prince's Mansion without notification to meet the Prince directly.
Every time I want to see Prince Wen Yu, I have to make an appointment in advance, and sometimes I can't make an appointment because Prince Wen Yu has too many trivial matters.
Not long after, Yao Xingshu hurried over and took Helian Duocai to meet Prince Wen Yu.
Inside the study.
Prince Wen Yu, who had already understood the current situation, had a cloudy expression on his face, and when he saw Helian Duocai, he scolded him coldly: "What's going on, why did the price of food soar all of a sudden?"
"Return to Your Highness." Helian Duocai hurriedly said, "Actually, in the past three or four years, grain prices have been showing signs of recovery. It's just that we followed the previous strategy of selling and suppressing grain prices, so we continued to suppress grain prices."
"However, the price increase this time is quite strange, and it is likely that someone is behind to fuel the flames. Otherwise, according to the original situation, we can at least keep down the price of grain for another seven or eight years."
Prince Wen Yu's face was as cold as ice: "So, it's the Jiang family and Wang Shouzhe who are behind the scenes?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Helian Duocai's eyelids twitched, and he said in a shy voice, "However, there should be other factors. I have investigated some situations a while ago. Ten years ago, the third-grade spirits in many families The fields are all planted with purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum. Now it can almost reach the medicinal property of '50 Years', and it can be used as the main material of 'Xiao Pei Yuan Dan' after harvesting."
"Because the price of Purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum has risen year after year, many families have replanted most of the third-grade spiritual fields with Purple-leaf Polygonum... This means that in the next ten years, the third-grade spiritual rice will become increasingly scarce!"
"Under such incentives, as long as someone with a heart speculates, food prices will naturally rise."
Following Helian Duocai's narration, Prince Wen Yu roughly understood what was going on.
He said in a deep voice: "Wang Shouzhe's grain has been stuck for ten years and cannot be sold. The Jiang family has been building warehouses to stockpile grain. Once the price of grain soars, it is very likely that they will be relieved~~ We have invested a lot Funds and more than ten years of hard work will be wasted."
"However, since the Jiang family and Wang Shouzhe finally can't hold back their actions, they probably can't take it anymore. As long as we suppress their operation, Wang Shouzhe will have to obediently cooperate with us!"
Helian Duocai hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, in order to suppress the price of food, we have already used up all the original stocks and borrowed a lot from the relevant fairy kings' mansions and fairy clans. Now everyone has not much food left. I’m afraid it will be difficult to hold back this momentum.”
In this case, if you want to suppress the price of grain, you must sell the grain at a low price, and it is impossible to do it without enough Lingmi stocks.
Prince Wen Yu's face was as gloomy as steel: "Our holy city also has one grain storehouse, two grain storehouses, and three grain storehouses, each of which is equal to the annual output of the entire Holy Dynasty and each fairy dynasty. My warrant, to open a position and sell it, is bound to crush Wang Shouzhe to death."
As long as Wang Shouzhe can compromise, everything is worth it.
As Xuanwu monks, the length of their life is not calculated according to hundreds of years and thousands of years. In the long run, the advantages definitely outweigh the immediate disadvantages.
Of course, the background of a Holy Dynasty is very strong. In addition to the fact that every family will store grain, the Holy City also built several large grain storage warehouses. These are huge grain storage warehouses built to deal with special circumstances such as disaster years and wars. According to the normal market price, the grain in each granary should reach about three Chaos Spirit Stones.
If this opens a warehouse and sells grain, it will definitely keep grain prices cool.
It's just that as soon as Prince Wenyu said this, Helian Duocai's face became a little weird: "Did your Highness forget?"
"What did my prince forget?" Prince Wen Yu was astonished.
"Over the years, in order to stabilize grain prices and keep grain prices low, we have been carrying out low-price selling. Over the years, we have used up two warehouses one after another." Helian Duocai's face turned bitter, "There are grain merchants from all over the country to collect grain, so we must sell it? If we don't sell it, the price of grain will rise immediately!"
Prince Wen Yu was so hung up that he didn't squirt a mouthful of old blood to death.
He vaguely remembered that he had indeed given orders and instructions to Prince Helian Duocai before.It's just that in these years, he has been fighting fiercely with the eldest prince and the third prince, and he is in a state of desperation every day. These things occupy more than [-]% of his energy and attention.
Originally, I thought that as long as Wang Shouzhe was held back, and when he completely suppressed the "internal troubles", he would be able to free up his hand to negotiate with Wang Shouzhe with the momentum of a big victory, and completely settle the matter.
But I never thought that the situation had become so rotten in the blink of an eye.
"Well, you Wang Shouzhe, you actually gave me such a ruthless backstab when the prince couldn't get away." The more Prince Wenyu thought about it, the more angry he became, and his voice turned cold, "Yao Xingshu, pass me the order , ordered all the major families and celestial dynasties to vacate the land immediately to plant spiritual rice. Just wait for this period of time and see how the prince will deal with him!"
"As long as this prince doesn't agree, no one will want to have a raptor crossing the river!"
When he said this, his tone was firm and full of confidence, because he knew how terrifying the number of lingtian fields under the names of the major families supporting him were, and how big their output was.
As far as the super immortal Yao family is concerned, there are no less than dozens of manors located in and around the holy city, countless spiritual fields, and the annual output can almost reach one-thirtieth of the entire holy dynasty.
"Yes, prince."
Yao Xingshu bowed to accept the order, but he looked at Prince Wen Yu eagerly, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and he didn't move his footsteps.
"Xing Shu?" Prince Wen Yu raised his eyebrows with a slightly puzzled expression, "But is there any difficulty?"
"Cough cough~"
Yao Xingshu cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Xingshu doesn't know much about the situation of the other family. Let me just talk about our Yao family... Our Yao family's current food reserves are not much, only enough for the family to consume for two years. Most of the spiritual fields in the manors under the name have been planted with [Purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum], [Nine-leaf Scrophulariaceae], and various fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixir."
"Moreover, the family is adopting a long-term elixir planting strategy this time, that is, the first-grade spiritual fields are planted with 50-year-old purple-leaf fleece-flower root, and the second-grade spiritual fields are planted with 100-year-old purple-leaf fleece-flower root. For these two grades of spiritual fields alone, the planting cycle will be reduced. It has reached nearly [-] years, not to mention higher-grade elixir, with a planting cycle of hundreds of years, thousands of years, and even some elixir planning cycles of thousands of years."
For a super-grade fairy clan, when planning the future development route of the family, it will not be as tight as a small family. Even a century-old plan is just a short-term plan for the fairy clan.
Prince Wen Yu was so pissed off that he slammed the table and said angrily: "Yao Xingshu, are you, Yao family, trying to betray this prince?"
Hearing his impoliteness, Yao Xingshu felt a little sullen, and even said in a blunt tone: "Your Highness, we Yao family are indeed your supporters, but we are not your servants, right? Besides, His Highness did not prohibit us from How could Yao's cultivation of elixir betray His Highness?"
"The family's development plan is related to the fate of my Yao family for thousands of years. It is decided by many elders and heads of the family. I, Yao Xingshu, are just a mere real fairy of the Yao family. How can the family's development policy be my turn?" call the shots?"
Yao Xingshu dared to say this, so he naturally had confidence.
The Tianrui Yao family is not a weak immortal family like the Jiang family that has begun to decline. The Yao family now has four true fairylands, and there is a great possibility that there will be a fifth in the future.
The most rare thing is that the Shuiyue Saintess who worshiped in the Shuiyue Cave is also a member of the Yao family, and she will be a proper saint in the future.
Apart from these strong men, there are also a large number of people from the Tianrui Yao family who hold important positions in the holy court, and they have great influence.
Yao's support for Prince Wen Yu's ascension does not mean that he is Prince Wen Yu's dog!On the contrary, whether it is now or in the future, Prince Wenyu needs Yao's help.
Facing Yao Xingshu's "counterattack", Prince Wen Yu also felt a "thud" in his heart, and immediately knew that he was out of control, and the words were serious.
He hastily suppressed his mood, and showed an apologetic expression to Yao Xingshu: "Xingshu, you and I have known each other for many years, and you also know my temper. I'm not blaming you or Yao shi, it's just that there have been too many troubles recently. , It is inevitable that I will lose control of my emotions.”
Seeing that Prince Wen Yu took the initiative to pass the steps, Yao Xingshu's momentum also weakened, and he said in a harmonious voice: "I understand His Highness's difficulties, but Yao is not Xingshu's Yao, and I hope His Highness will understand."
In fact, it is not uncommon for the Yao family of the immortal clan to do this, it is simply because of the word "interest".
After he returned from Helian Duocai, he specifically asked his family members to inquire about it. He knew that it was Sister Yumei who threaded the needle in the middle, and the Sister of the Water Moon was the guarantee. The family had no worries, so naturally they boldly gave up Ling Mi changed to plant elixir for greater benefit.
As for Yao's own use of Lingmi, there is no need to worry, the Holy Maiden of Shuiyue has already secretly promised that Yao will not be short of Lingmi.
However, Yao Xingshu would not tell Prince Wen Yu about the information obtained from these inquiries in detail.First of all, he is Yao's direct descendant, and secondly, he is a subject of Prince Wen Yu.
In any celestial or holy dynasties, "home" comes before "country".In the final analysis, the Luqiu family of the Tianrui imperial family is nothing but a larger holy family, and they are not fundamentally different from these aristocratic families.
"Your Highness, as far as I know, other major families, even many Immortal King's Mansions, have changed to plant elixir, it's just a matter of how much share." Yao Xingshu sighed, "No one thought that the price of food would be so high that So unbearable."
Prince Wen Yu's face was extremely ugly: "Is there any possibility of changing to Lingmi? This prince can subsidize their losses..."
"Difficult!" It was Helian Duocai who spoke this time, "His Royal Highness, I will settle an account for you. Most families started planting elixir ten years ago, but because the growth cycle of elixir is much longer than Lingmi needs to grow, so far, there are still many families that have not had any substantial harvest."
"If the price of food is normal, the total annual grain output of our holy dynasty and the surrounding fairy dynasties, converted into spiritual stones, can reach about two to three chaotic spiritual stones. Now planting elixir, the income is still more than planting spiritual rice , let’s say that the total annual production reaches three Chaos Spirit Stones!”
"Assuming that all the aristocratic families are going to get rid of the elixir and replant different varieties of lingmi, the subsidy we need to prepare is estimated to exceed [-] chaotic spirit stones."
"Thirty chaotic spirit stones?!" Prince Wen Yu was stunned at first, then his face became extremely ugly.
Can the Tianrui imperial family take out thirty chaotic spirit stones at once?The answer is of course yes!However, this must be pieced together, and it takes a lot of effort to squeeze it out. It may even require mortgages on some properties, which may damage the foundation.
If the person who wants to raise these thirty chaotic spirit stones is the Holy Emperor, then naturally there is no problem, but Prince Wenyu is still only one of the princes of the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty, how can he mobilize such a huge amount of funds?
Just when he had a headache.
Suddenly.
The air in the study trembled violently.
Bursts of tremors and buzzing sounds of energy imperceptible to the human ear sounded, and a vast energy surged out of thin air, and then quickly condensed.
In the blink of an eye, an old man dressed in imperial robes appeared in the study.
On his head was a gilded crown inlaid with gold and jade, and his royal robe was thick and complicated, inlaid with many gems and spirit stones, making him look majestic and luxurious.
Even though he was old and even his hair was gray, his figure was still not rickety at all, his aura was fierce and domineering, he was mighty, showing the majesty of the royal family.
His appearance made the air in the study freeze instantly.
Everyone was stunned.
After a full breath, Prince Wen Yu suddenly realized, and hastily stepped forward to salute: "Junxi pays homage to the ancestor."
Yao Xingshu and Helian Duocai also hurriedly bowed deeply: "I greet His Majesty the Holy Emperor."
This powerful old man is naturally His Majesty the current Holy Emperor of Tianrui Sacred Dynasty.
However, what the Holy Emperor came this time was just a projection, and his true strength was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary monks in the early stage of True Immortal Realm.
"Junxi, how do you do things?" Tianrui Shenghuang obviously heard the news, and reprimanded Prince Wenyu with a cold face as soon as he showed up, "I heard that all the big granaries are empty? Quansheng The grain of the major families in the court has also been emptied, and the remaining grain is only enough to last for less than two years?"
Prince Wen Yu trembled all over, and his face turned pale. He didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly explained the matter.
After listening, Tianrui Shenghuang's face became cloudy and uncertain.
He never expected that in the blink of an eye, in just ten years or so, Prince Wen Yu would be able to empty the Holy Dynasty to such an extent.
More than ten years is a long time for ordinary people without cultivation, enough for them to grow from babbling to starting a family, but to a holy emperor with a lifespan of nearly [-] years, it is just a nap It's just a matter of effort.
"Wang Shouzhe! You mean, all of this is caused by you trying to suppress that Wang Shouzhe and force him to cooperate with you?" Tianrui Shenghuang frowned slightly, "This person's name is like a thunderbolt!" Fill your ears~~"
Whether it's because of various rumors, Qingyang's affairs, or Yunpeng's undisguised admiration, it all shows that Wang Shouzhe has a long history, and Tianrui Shenghuang has long wanted to see him.
It's just that he is a majestic emperor, and the other party is only a junior no matter how good his background is.
The junior didn't come to see him on his own initiative, so how could he lower himself to see the junior on his own initiative?If this was spread, it might provoke ridicule, and make that kid Wang Shouzhe look down on him, the Holy Emperor.
Therefore, after so many years, he still only heard Wang Shouzhe by name.
"Don't worry, old ancestor." Prince Wen Yu hurriedly promised, "Give me decades, and I promise to slowly clean up this mess. The grain in the hands of that Wang Shouzhe only accounted for one part of the total output of the entire Holy Dynasty." It’s just a matter of success, I’ll just let him earn the money, and I’ll try not to provoke him in the future.”
"Decades?"
When Tianrui Sage Emperor heard this, he was so angry that his voice became cold: "Do you think that our Tianrui Sacred Dynasty has decades of time to squander on you?"
"The old ancestor means... the Tianxing Holy Dynasty?" Prince Wen Yu's heart trembled, and his face turned pale immediately, "That's right. If we are in a different position from the Tianxing Holy Dynasty, we will not let this one go. Chance."
Today, Ruisheng Dynasty is short of food and can only last for a year or two.If the Tianxing Holy Dynasty aggressively attacked at this time and suppressed the whole front...then the advantage it has would be too obvious.
As we all know, during a war, food consumption will be several times higher than usual!
The supply of logistics food and grass itself is the lifeblood of war.
Once there is a shortage of food across the board, how can this battle be fought?If they managed to make it through, the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty would inevitably suffer a serious injury and would no longer be as grand as it used to be.
Thinking of such a tragic situation, Prince Wen Yu's heart trembled.
It was only then that he finally realized that this time, he seemed to have caused a big problem.
Not only him, but other people in the study also realized the seriousness of the matter, and everyone's expressions became very serious for a while.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Helian Duocai also turned pale, but thinking of his current situation, he finally gritted his teeth and opened his mouth tremblingly, "Your Majesty has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not."
The Holy Emperor glanced at him: "Say."
"Wang Shouzhe was born in a noble family, and going out to practice is just to gain experience. For him, the food business is a meritorious service to prove his ability. His deep-seated purpose is not to bring down the Holy Dynasty and become an enemy of the Holy Dynasty." Hehe Lian Duocai shared his own thoughts, "For more than ten years, we have used official means to detain each other, and second, suppressed each other with low grain prices. Therefore, the grain sales in their hands over the past decade Very limited."
"Based on the amount sold by Jiang's agent, the food supplied by the other party in a year accounts for about [-]% of the output of the Holy Dynasty. After ten years of hoarding grain, the hoarded food is about equal to the annual output of the entire Holy Dynasty."
"As long as we get this amount of food, we can solve a large part of the army's war preparation needs, and indirectly curb the ambitions of the Tianxing Dynasty to avoid war."
The Holy Emperor nodded frequently: "You have a good idea. Even if you have to pay a price first, as long as the immediate crisis is resolved, there will naturally be enough time to gradually clean up the mess. Junxi, since you provoked this matter, It's up to you to ask Wang Shouzhe to sell the grain."
"Follow the will of the ancestors."
Prince Wen Yu responded with a dark face.
When he thought that he was going to give in to Wang Shouzhe, or even beg for mercy, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but this matter was caused by himself, and now it was ordered by the ancestor of the Holy Emperor himself, so he really didn't dare to shirk it.
"Okay~ let's go to work."
The Holy Emperor's Projection didn't bother to stay here any longer. After explaining the matter, it turned into a ball of energy light and shadow, which dissipated without a trace in an instant.
Prince Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Dang even cheered up and said, "Duocai, Xingshu, you guys go with me, let's meet that Wang Shouzhe."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Helian Duocai sighed, "Over the years, there have been people secretly buying food at low prices and promoting the elixir industry. Now it seems that Wang Shouzhe did it. This kind of manipulation The means of the overall situation have shown me what a real commercial means is."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to be prepared to be opened by the lion this time."
Hearing this, Prince Wen Yu immediately felt uncomfortable and disgusted as if he was forcibly fed to flies.But so what?If this matter is not dealt with, the entire Tianrui Dynasty will face crisis.
When it really comes to that time, he might be the prince to the end.
Suppressing the nausea in his heart, Prince Wen Yu finally went directly to [Guiyuan Bieyuan] and posted a post to meet Wang Shouzhe.
At this moment.
Return to Yuanyuan.
On the water-friendly terrace of the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, Wang Shouzhe was sitting in a grand teacher's chair, drinking fairy tea while blowing the wind, and telling stories to the slightly grown-up "shooting bamboo shoot" Wang Zongzhu in his arms.
There is also a dish of fish food on his right hand.While telling stories, he sprinkled fish food one after another, feeding the spirit fish in the lake.
Unknowingly, a large number of spirit fish gathered under the hydrophilic balcony.The dense fish heads are surging in the water, which looks very lively.
"Yeeeeeeeeee~"
Sun Jianer writhed in Wang Shouzhe's arms, expressing that he didn't like to listen to it, but wanted to listen to Dream of the Red Chamber.
"Okay, Daddy has a few simple math problems here. After you do them all correctly, Daddy will explain them to you." Wang Shouzhe took out a test paper with a smile.
"Crackling!"
Sun Jian'er froze, and a series of golden lightning exploded from his body.
Math, math again!
Wang Zongzhu really wants to explode in place~~
"My lord, Prince Wenyu posted a greeting." At this moment, Jiang Muxian walked over quickly and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to see him?"
"Hehe~~ Can't hold it anymore so soon? It seems that the Tianrui royal family is under a lot of pressure." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said with a smile, "You let him go back first, just say that my son is in retreat. See him empty."
"Yes, young master." Jiang Muxian immediately retreated in response.
"Zhuer." Wang Shouzhe picked up Wang Zongzhu and looked at him with a smile. "Do the questions well. If you make a mistake, Daddy will make up a paper for you. No matter how late it is today, Daddy will accompany you to the end."
How could Prince Wen Yu's matter be as important as his own son's questioning?
"Yeah ah!"
With tears in his eyes, Wang Zongzhu, who looked like a bamboo shoot, hurriedly wrapped his pen with his spiritual thoughts, and began to write the questions "swish, swish, swish", and at the same time, it seemed that ten thousand muddy horses galloped past in his heart.
Why is this question so stupid?
A swimming pool, actually releasing water and taking in water at the same time... Are you out of your mind?Which neuropathy is this the problem of?Doesn't this mean to embarrass him, a little bamboo?
Huh~~Sister Daiyu, wait for Zhuer, and come to accompany you after Zhuer finishes brushing the questions~~
……
(Sunday will be closed as usual, brothers and sisters will see you on Monday, and Shouzhe will soon go back to reunite with his wife)
(End of this chapter)
……
Tianrui Holy City.
Downtown area.
Dragons and snakes are mixed in this place, and there are all kinds of teahouses and restaurants.
One of the streets is a gathering place for various small grain merchants and drug dealers.
Dongye Brahma is the shopkeeper of a small grain merchant.
On this day, he opened the shop as usual, and after instructing a few staff, he went to the grain shop opposite with a pot of tea.
Compared with his shop, the grain shop opposite was obviously not doing well, and there were not many employees in the huge shop, which looked rather bleak.
In the shop, a middle-aged man in a brown robe was busy with his head bowed.
The quality of the robe on his body is good, but it has been washed a little white, and the cuffs are frayed, obviously it has been worn for many years.
"Brother Bohong." Dongye Fentian took a sip of tea, looked at his former competitor with a smile, and said in a slow tone, "Are you still selling your Lingmi? Tsk tsk, I'm not talking about you because of your temper. Lingmi has been at a low price for more than ten years, and sales are sluggish, can you survive like this?"
A hundred years ago, Dongye Fentian and Beigong Bohong were still good friends, but ever since they each opened a grain shop door to door, the relationship between the two has become increasingly cold and estranged.
It is understandable that colleagues are enemies.
But more than ten years ago, both of them stockpiled a lot of Lingmi, but the price of Lingmi plummeted.After a year or two each, Dongye Fentian was flexible and felt that the sluggish grain market would not pick up in a short period of time, so he sold it to the buyer at [-]% of the price when there was a buyer secretly buying it.
Although this wave of meat cutting caused him a lot of losses, it also freed up funds for him.After thinking about it, he decided to switch to the elixir business, and over the past ten years or so, it has gradually brought back some of his vitality.
On the other hand, Beigong Bohong, the hoarded grains from that year are still backlogged in the warehouse, no matter who comes to collect them, they are clenching their teeth and unwilling to let go.Over the years, the store has become increasingly depressed, and funds have become increasingly tight, and even several of the guys have left.
This made Dongye Brahma even more grateful for his choice, and came to mock Beigong Bohong every now and then.
Faced with Dongye Fentian's ridicule, Beigong Bohong still worked silently and wiped the counter himself.
Seeing this, Dongye Brahma snorted lightly, and said lightly: "Brother Bo Hong, I advise you not to support yourself. How about this, don't open your shop, and even give me the store with the grain. You Take a sum of money and go back to the countryside early~"
Beigong Bohong had heard these words countless times over the years.He really didn't bother to talk to Dongye Brahma any more, he just ignored his words and went about his work on his own.
Higashino Brahma didn't care about this either, and after satisfying his sense of superiority sarcastically, he prepared to go back with the teapot.
Unexpectedly, at this time.
An extremely excited voice came from the street: "Brother-in-law, it's up, it's up~~"
Dongye Fentian swept his spiritual sense, only to find that it was Beigong Bohong's brother-in-law at the early stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.This kid looked very excited, flying all the way over with his body skills.
"What's going up?" Dongye Brahma stopped in his tracks, scolding and criticizing, "You brat, don't fly around so frizzy. This is a holy city. If you bump into someone big, you won't be able to go around. .”
"What's none of your business?" My brother-in-law glared at him, and then said to Beigong Bohong with ecstasy on his face, "Brother-in-law, the price of food has risen, and it has doubled overnight."
Dongye Fantian's face froze first: "How is it possible?"
Although it seems that there is indeed a shortage of food at the moment, Prince Wenyu's related industries are still suppressing food prices.
Prince Wen Yu is a man of heaven, if he wants to suppress the price of food, who can make the price of food go up?
On the contrary, Beigong Bohong's expression was as calm as usual: "Wen Le, Brother Fen Tian was right to criticize you. It's outrageous that you are so frizzy."
is talking.
A group of people suddenly came from the street.
The leader is the big treasurer of the famous grain merchant [Li's Firm] in Xiacheng District.
As soon as the shopkeeper came up, he smiled and cupped his hands at Beigong Bohong: "Brother Bohong, congratulations~"
There are very few grain merchants like Beigong Bohong who have gritted their teeth for more than ten years and have not sold grain at a low price. He has already become famous among the grain merchants in the lower city.
"Treasurer Li." Beigong Bohong didn't dare to neglect, and hastily returned the gift.
"Is the grain in storage still there?" Shopkeeper Li Da greeted him briefly, and then went straight to the point, "The current market price has doubled, and I will pay an extra [-]%. How about taking all your grain?"
Beigong Bohong frowned, and just as he was about to speak, a group of businessmen came beside him.
The leader among them is the big shopkeeper of [Zhao's Trading], also a big businessman in the lower city.
Compared to these two big firms, whether Beigong Bohong or Dongye Fentian, they are nothing more than small shrimps.
"Shopkeeper Li is so stingy, I'll add an extra [-]%!" Shopkeeper Zhao put on a fighting stance as soon as he came up.
"I will pay an extra [-]%!"
"I will pay an extra [-]%!"
Several other big merchants were also unwilling to show weakness, and it was you who bid up the price with each other.The scene looked like an auction.
Dongye Brahma looked at this and then that, his eyes became more and more shocked, and his face became paler and paler.
This price has already exceeded the highest price of grain by a large margin.
Doesn't this mean that Beigong Bohong didn't do anything in the past ten years, not only did he not lose money, but he also made an extra fortune?
"Two shopkeepers." Beigong Bohong looked at this posture, but he was surprised instead of happy. He hurriedly bowed to everyone, and said in a low voice, "I can only sell slowly in this small shop. I'm really sorry for you two." gone."
Now he dare not sell the grain on hand wholesale.Selling to this family will definitely offend another family.
And looking at this trend, there will be a continuous period of soaring food prices in the future, so he is not willing to cash out and leave the market immediately.
Selling slowly will definitely make a lot more profit than wholesale it directly.
The two big shopkeepers felt sorry when they heard the words, but they really didn't want to sell, and they couldn't buy and sell by force, so they had to stop their efforts and search for the next one without stopping.
Nowadays, as long as you can receive food, you are making money, and food has suddenly become hard currency.
Dongye Fantian recalled his previous cynicism, and felt his face was slapped.
He staggered back to his shop, with his head shrunk in annoyance.
If he had known this earlier, he would have followed Beigong Bohong and persisted.
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world, no matter how upset he is, there is nothing he can do.
Similar scenes are happening all over the holy city. Similarly, this wave of food price hikes will quickly spread throughout the holy dynasty and the surrounding fairy dynasties.
……
And with the gradual fermentation of this wave of price increases, some people can't sit still.
Inside the gatehouse of Prince Wen Yu's Mansion.
Helian Duocai was running around in a hurry.
These days, he had already sensed that something was wrong, and was going to discuss countermeasures with Prince Wen Yu, and even specially invited Yao Xingshu to drink for this purpose, and wanted him to help him make some indirect remarks.
Unexpectedly, it hadn't even started to work yet, oh my god, it suddenly collapsed.
No, early this morning, as soon as he realized that something was wrong, he hurried over to report to Prince Wen Yu.
It's a pity that among Prince Wen Yu's staff, he is only a peripheral role, and he does not have the right to enter the Prince's Mansion without notification to meet the Prince directly.
Every time I want to see Prince Wen Yu, I have to make an appointment in advance, and sometimes I can't make an appointment because Prince Wen Yu has too many trivial matters.
Not long after, Yao Xingshu hurried over and took Helian Duocai to meet Prince Wen Yu.
Inside the study.
Prince Wen Yu, who had already understood the current situation, had a cloudy expression on his face, and when he saw Helian Duocai, he scolded him coldly: "What's going on, why did the price of food soar all of a sudden?"
"Return to Your Highness." Helian Duocai hurriedly said, "Actually, in the past three or four years, grain prices have been showing signs of recovery. It's just that we followed the previous strategy of selling and suppressing grain prices, so we continued to suppress grain prices."
"However, the price increase this time is quite strange, and it is likely that someone is behind to fuel the flames. Otherwise, according to the original situation, we can at least keep down the price of grain for another seven or eight years."
Prince Wen Yu's face was as cold as ice: "So, it's the Jiang family and Wang Shouzhe who are behind the scenes?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Helian Duocai's eyelids twitched, and he said in a shy voice, "However, there should be other factors. I have investigated some situations a while ago. Ten years ago, the third-grade spirits in many families The fields are all planted with purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum. Now it can almost reach the medicinal property of '50 Years', and it can be used as the main material of 'Xiao Pei Yuan Dan' after harvesting."
"Because the price of Purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum has risen year after year, many families have replanted most of the third-grade spiritual fields with Purple-leaf Polygonum... This means that in the next ten years, the third-grade spiritual rice will become increasingly scarce!"
"Under such incentives, as long as someone with a heart speculates, food prices will naturally rise."
Following Helian Duocai's narration, Prince Wen Yu roughly understood what was going on.
He said in a deep voice: "Wang Shouzhe's grain has been stuck for ten years and cannot be sold. The Jiang family has been building warehouses to stockpile grain. Once the price of grain soars, it is very likely that they will be relieved~~ We have invested a lot Funds and more than ten years of hard work will be wasted."
"However, since the Jiang family and Wang Shouzhe finally can't hold back their actions, they probably can't take it anymore. As long as we suppress their operation, Wang Shouzhe will have to obediently cooperate with us!"
Helian Duocai hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, in order to suppress the price of food, we have already used up all the original stocks and borrowed a lot from the relevant fairy kings' mansions and fairy clans. Now everyone has not much food left. I’m afraid it will be difficult to hold back this momentum.”
In this case, if you want to suppress the price of grain, you must sell the grain at a low price, and it is impossible to do it without enough Lingmi stocks.
Prince Wen Yu's face was as gloomy as steel: "Our holy city also has one grain storehouse, two grain storehouses, and three grain storehouses, each of which is equal to the annual output of the entire Holy Dynasty and each fairy dynasty. My warrant, to open a position and sell it, is bound to crush Wang Shouzhe to death."
As long as Wang Shouzhe can compromise, everything is worth it.
As Xuanwu monks, the length of their life is not calculated according to hundreds of years and thousands of years. In the long run, the advantages definitely outweigh the immediate disadvantages.
Of course, the background of a Holy Dynasty is very strong. In addition to the fact that every family will store grain, the Holy City also built several large grain storage warehouses. These are huge grain storage warehouses built to deal with special circumstances such as disaster years and wars. According to the normal market price, the grain in each granary should reach about three Chaos Spirit Stones.
If this opens a warehouse and sells grain, it will definitely keep grain prices cool.
It's just that as soon as Prince Wenyu said this, Helian Duocai's face became a little weird: "Did your Highness forget?"
"What did my prince forget?" Prince Wen Yu was astonished.
"Over the years, in order to stabilize grain prices and keep grain prices low, we have been carrying out low-price selling. Over the years, we have used up two warehouses one after another." Helian Duocai's face turned bitter, "There are grain merchants from all over the country to collect grain, so we must sell it? If we don't sell it, the price of grain will rise immediately!"
Prince Wen Yu was so hung up that he didn't squirt a mouthful of old blood to death.
He vaguely remembered that he had indeed given orders and instructions to Prince Helian Duocai before.It's just that in these years, he has been fighting fiercely with the eldest prince and the third prince, and he is in a state of desperation every day. These things occupy more than [-]% of his energy and attention.
Originally, I thought that as long as Wang Shouzhe was held back, and when he completely suppressed the "internal troubles", he would be able to free up his hand to negotiate with Wang Shouzhe with the momentum of a big victory, and completely settle the matter.
But I never thought that the situation had become so rotten in the blink of an eye.
"Well, you Wang Shouzhe, you actually gave me such a ruthless backstab when the prince couldn't get away." The more Prince Wenyu thought about it, the more angry he became, and his voice turned cold, "Yao Xingshu, pass me the order , ordered all the major families and celestial dynasties to vacate the land immediately to plant spiritual rice. Just wait for this period of time and see how the prince will deal with him!"
"As long as this prince doesn't agree, no one will want to have a raptor crossing the river!"
When he said this, his tone was firm and full of confidence, because he knew how terrifying the number of lingtian fields under the names of the major families supporting him were, and how big their output was.
As far as the super immortal Yao family is concerned, there are no less than dozens of manors located in and around the holy city, countless spiritual fields, and the annual output can almost reach one-thirtieth of the entire holy dynasty.
"Yes, prince."
Yao Xingshu bowed to accept the order, but he looked at Prince Wen Yu eagerly, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and he didn't move his footsteps.
"Xing Shu?" Prince Wen Yu raised his eyebrows with a slightly puzzled expression, "But is there any difficulty?"
"Cough cough~"
Yao Xingshu cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Xingshu doesn't know much about the situation of the other family. Let me just talk about our Yao family... Our Yao family's current food reserves are not much, only enough for the family to consume for two years. Most of the spiritual fields in the manors under the name have been planted with [Purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum], [Nine-leaf Scrophulariaceae], and various fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixir."
"Moreover, the family is adopting a long-term elixir planting strategy this time, that is, the first-grade spiritual fields are planted with 50-year-old purple-leaf fleece-flower root, and the second-grade spiritual fields are planted with 100-year-old purple-leaf fleece-flower root. For these two grades of spiritual fields alone, the planting cycle will be reduced. It has reached nearly [-] years, not to mention higher-grade elixir, with a planting cycle of hundreds of years, thousands of years, and even some elixir planning cycles of thousands of years."
For a super-grade fairy clan, when planning the future development route of the family, it will not be as tight as a small family. Even a century-old plan is just a short-term plan for the fairy clan.
Prince Wen Yu was so pissed off that he slammed the table and said angrily: "Yao Xingshu, are you, Yao family, trying to betray this prince?"
Hearing his impoliteness, Yao Xingshu felt a little sullen, and even said in a blunt tone: "Your Highness, we Yao family are indeed your supporters, but we are not your servants, right? Besides, His Highness did not prohibit us from How could Yao's cultivation of elixir betray His Highness?"
"The family's development plan is related to the fate of my Yao family for thousands of years. It is decided by many elders and heads of the family. I, Yao Xingshu, are just a mere real fairy of the Yao family. How can the family's development policy be my turn?" call the shots?"
Yao Xingshu dared to say this, so he naturally had confidence.
The Tianrui Yao family is not a weak immortal family like the Jiang family that has begun to decline. The Yao family now has four true fairylands, and there is a great possibility that there will be a fifth in the future.
The most rare thing is that the Shuiyue Saintess who worshiped in the Shuiyue Cave is also a member of the Yao family, and she will be a proper saint in the future.
Apart from these strong men, there are also a large number of people from the Tianrui Yao family who hold important positions in the holy court, and they have great influence.
Yao's support for Prince Wen Yu's ascension does not mean that he is Prince Wen Yu's dog!On the contrary, whether it is now or in the future, Prince Wenyu needs Yao's help.
Facing Yao Xingshu's "counterattack", Prince Wen Yu also felt a "thud" in his heart, and immediately knew that he was out of control, and the words were serious.
He hastily suppressed his mood, and showed an apologetic expression to Yao Xingshu: "Xingshu, you and I have known each other for many years, and you also know my temper. I'm not blaming you or Yao shi, it's just that there have been too many troubles recently. , It is inevitable that I will lose control of my emotions.”
Seeing that Prince Wen Yu took the initiative to pass the steps, Yao Xingshu's momentum also weakened, and he said in a harmonious voice: "I understand His Highness's difficulties, but Yao is not Xingshu's Yao, and I hope His Highness will understand."
In fact, it is not uncommon for the Yao family of the immortal clan to do this, it is simply because of the word "interest".
After he returned from Helian Duocai, he specifically asked his family members to inquire about it. He knew that it was Sister Yumei who threaded the needle in the middle, and the Sister of the Water Moon was the guarantee. The family had no worries, so naturally they boldly gave up Ling Mi changed to plant elixir for greater benefit.
As for Yao's own use of Lingmi, there is no need to worry, the Holy Maiden of Shuiyue has already secretly promised that Yao will not be short of Lingmi.
However, Yao Xingshu would not tell Prince Wen Yu about the information obtained from these inquiries in detail.First of all, he is Yao's direct descendant, and secondly, he is a subject of Prince Wen Yu.
In any celestial or holy dynasties, "home" comes before "country".In the final analysis, the Luqiu family of the Tianrui imperial family is nothing but a larger holy family, and they are not fundamentally different from these aristocratic families.
"Your Highness, as far as I know, other major families, even many Immortal King's Mansions, have changed to plant elixir, it's just a matter of how much share." Yao Xingshu sighed, "No one thought that the price of food would be so high that So unbearable."
Prince Wen Yu's face was extremely ugly: "Is there any possibility of changing to Lingmi? This prince can subsidize their losses..."
"Difficult!" It was Helian Duocai who spoke this time, "His Royal Highness, I will settle an account for you. Most families started planting elixir ten years ago, but because the growth cycle of elixir is much longer than Lingmi needs to grow, so far, there are still many families that have not had any substantial harvest."
"If the price of food is normal, the total annual grain output of our holy dynasty and the surrounding fairy dynasties, converted into spiritual stones, can reach about two to three chaotic spiritual stones. Now planting elixir, the income is still more than planting spiritual rice , let’s say that the total annual production reaches three Chaos Spirit Stones!”
"Assuming that all the aristocratic families are going to get rid of the elixir and replant different varieties of lingmi, the subsidy we need to prepare is estimated to exceed [-] chaotic spirit stones."
"Thirty chaotic spirit stones?!" Prince Wen Yu was stunned at first, then his face became extremely ugly.
Can the Tianrui imperial family take out thirty chaotic spirit stones at once?The answer is of course yes!However, this must be pieced together, and it takes a lot of effort to squeeze it out. It may even require mortgages on some properties, which may damage the foundation.
If the person who wants to raise these thirty chaotic spirit stones is the Holy Emperor, then naturally there is no problem, but Prince Wenyu is still only one of the princes of the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty, how can he mobilize such a huge amount of funds?
Just when he had a headache.
Suddenly.
The air in the study trembled violently.
Bursts of tremors and buzzing sounds of energy imperceptible to the human ear sounded, and a vast energy surged out of thin air, and then quickly condensed.
In the blink of an eye, an old man dressed in imperial robes appeared in the study.
On his head was a gilded crown inlaid with gold and jade, and his royal robe was thick and complicated, inlaid with many gems and spirit stones, making him look majestic and luxurious.
Even though he was old and even his hair was gray, his figure was still not rickety at all, his aura was fierce and domineering, he was mighty, showing the majesty of the royal family.
His appearance made the air in the study freeze instantly.
Everyone was stunned.
After a full breath, Prince Wen Yu suddenly realized, and hastily stepped forward to salute: "Junxi pays homage to the ancestor."
Yao Xingshu and Helian Duocai also hurriedly bowed deeply: "I greet His Majesty the Holy Emperor."
This powerful old man is naturally His Majesty the current Holy Emperor of Tianrui Sacred Dynasty.
However, what the Holy Emperor came this time was just a projection, and his true strength was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary monks in the early stage of True Immortal Realm.
"Junxi, how do you do things?" Tianrui Shenghuang obviously heard the news, and reprimanded Prince Wenyu with a cold face as soon as he showed up, "I heard that all the big granaries are empty? Quansheng The grain of the major families in the court has also been emptied, and the remaining grain is only enough to last for less than two years?"
Prince Wen Yu trembled all over, and his face turned pale. He didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly explained the matter.
After listening, Tianrui Shenghuang's face became cloudy and uncertain.
He never expected that in the blink of an eye, in just ten years or so, Prince Wen Yu would be able to empty the Holy Dynasty to such an extent.
More than ten years is a long time for ordinary people without cultivation, enough for them to grow from babbling to starting a family, but to a holy emperor with a lifespan of nearly [-] years, it is just a nap It's just a matter of effort.
"Wang Shouzhe! You mean, all of this is caused by you trying to suppress that Wang Shouzhe and force him to cooperate with you?" Tianrui Shenghuang frowned slightly, "This person's name is like a thunderbolt!" Fill your ears~~"
Whether it's because of various rumors, Qingyang's affairs, or Yunpeng's undisguised admiration, it all shows that Wang Shouzhe has a long history, and Tianrui Shenghuang has long wanted to see him.
It's just that he is a majestic emperor, and the other party is only a junior no matter how good his background is.
The junior didn't come to see him on his own initiative, so how could he lower himself to see the junior on his own initiative?If this was spread, it might provoke ridicule, and make that kid Wang Shouzhe look down on him, the Holy Emperor.
Therefore, after so many years, he still only heard Wang Shouzhe by name.
"Don't worry, old ancestor." Prince Wen Yu hurriedly promised, "Give me decades, and I promise to slowly clean up this mess. The grain in the hands of that Wang Shouzhe only accounted for one part of the total output of the entire Holy Dynasty." It’s just a matter of success, I’ll just let him earn the money, and I’ll try not to provoke him in the future.”
"Decades?"
When Tianrui Sage Emperor heard this, he was so angry that his voice became cold: "Do you think that our Tianrui Sacred Dynasty has decades of time to squander on you?"
"The old ancestor means... the Tianxing Holy Dynasty?" Prince Wen Yu's heart trembled, and his face turned pale immediately, "That's right. If we are in a different position from the Tianxing Holy Dynasty, we will not let this one go. Chance."
Today, Ruisheng Dynasty is short of food and can only last for a year or two.If the Tianxing Holy Dynasty aggressively attacked at this time and suppressed the whole front...then the advantage it has would be too obvious.
As we all know, during a war, food consumption will be several times higher than usual!
The supply of logistics food and grass itself is the lifeblood of war.
Once there is a shortage of food across the board, how can this battle be fought?If they managed to make it through, the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty would inevitably suffer a serious injury and would no longer be as grand as it used to be.
Thinking of such a tragic situation, Prince Wen Yu's heart trembled.
It was only then that he finally realized that this time, he seemed to have caused a big problem.
Not only him, but other people in the study also realized the seriousness of the matter, and everyone's expressions became very serious for a while.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Helian Duocai also turned pale, but thinking of his current situation, he finally gritted his teeth and opened his mouth tremblingly, "Your Majesty has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not."
The Holy Emperor glanced at him: "Say."
"Wang Shouzhe was born in a noble family, and going out to practice is just to gain experience. For him, the food business is a meritorious service to prove his ability. His deep-seated purpose is not to bring down the Holy Dynasty and become an enemy of the Holy Dynasty." Hehe Lian Duocai shared his own thoughts, "For more than ten years, we have used official means to detain each other, and second, suppressed each other with low grain prices. Therefore, the grain sales in their hands over the past decade Very limited."
"Based on the amount sold by Jiang's agent, the food supplied by the other party in a year accounts for about [-]% of the output of the Holy Dynasty. After ten years of hoarding grain, the hoarded food is about equal to the annual output of the entire Holy Dynasty."
"As long as we get this amount of food, we can solve a large part of the army's war preparation needs, and indirectly curb the ambitions of the Tianxing Dynasty to avoid war."
The Holy Emperor nodded frequently: "You have a good idea. Even if you have to pay a price first, as long as the immediate crisis is resolved, there will naturally be enough time to gradually clean up the mess. Junxi, since you provoked this matter, It's up to you to ask Wang Shouzhe to sell the grain."
"Follow the will of the ancestors."
Prince Wen Yu responded with a dark face.
When he thought that he was going to give in to Wang Shouzhe, or even beg for mercy, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but this matter was caused by himself, and now it was ordered by the ancestor of the Holy Emperor himself, so he really didn't dare to shirk it.
"Okay~ let's go to work."
The Holy Emperor's Projection didn't bother to stay here any longer. After explaining the matter, it turned into a ball of energy light and shadow, which dissipated without a trace in an instant.
Prince Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Dang even cheered up and said, "Duocai, Xingshu, you guys go with me, let's meet that Wang Shouzhe."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Helian Duocai sighed, "Over the years, there have been people secretly buying food at low prices and promoting the elixir industry. Now it seems that Wang Shouzhe did it. This kind of manipulation The means of the overall situation have shown me what a real commercial means is."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to be prepared to be opened by the lion this time."
Hearing this, Prince Wen Yu immediately felt uncomfortable and disgusted as if he was forcibly fed to flies.But so what?If this matter is not dealt with, the entire Tianrui Dynasty will face crisis.
When it really comes to that time, he might be the prince to the end.
Suppressing the nausea in his heart, Prince Wen Yu finally went directly to [Guiyuan Bieyuan] and posted a post to meet Wang Shouzhe.
At this moment.
Return to Yuanyuan.
On the water-friendly terrace of the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, Wang Shouzhe was sitting in a grand teacher's chair, drinking fairy tea while blowing the wind, and telling stories to the slightly grown-up "shooting bamboo shoot" Wang Zongzhu in his arms.
There is also a dish of fish food on his right hand.While telling stories, he sprinkled fish food one after another, feeding the spirit fish in the lake.
Unknowingly, a large number of spirit fish gathered under the hydrophilic balcony.The dense fish heads are surging in the water, which looks very lively.
"Yeeeeeeeeee~"
Sun Jianer writhed in Wang Shouzhe's arms, expressing that he didn't like to listen to it, but wanted to listen to Dream of the Red Chamber.
"Okay, Daddy has a few simple math problems here. After you do them all correctly, Daddy will explain them to you." Wang Shouzhe took out a test paper with a smile.
"Crackling!"
Sun Jian'er froze, and a series of golden lightning exploded from his body.
Math, math again!
Wang Zongzhu really wants to explode in place~~
"My lord, Prince Wenyu posted a greeting." At this moment, Jiang Muxian walked over quickly and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to see him?"
"Hehe~~ Can't hold it anymore so soon? It seems that the Tianrui royal family is under a lot of pressure." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said with a smile, "You let him go back first, just say that my son is in retreat. See him empty."
"Yes, young master." Jiang Muxian immediately retreated in response.
"Zhuer." Wang Shouzhe picked up Wang Zongzhu and looked at him with a smile. "Do the questions well. If you make a mistake, Daddy will make up a paper for you. No matter how late it is today, Daddy will accompany you to the end."
How could Prince Wen Yu's matter be as important as his own son's questioning?
"Yeah ah!"
With tears in his eyes, Wang Zongzhu, who looked like a bamboo shoot, hurriedly wrapped his pen with his spiritual thoughts, and began to write the questions "swish, swish, swish", and at the same time, it seemed that ten thousand muddy horses galloped past in his heart.
Why is this question so stupid?
A swimming pool, actually releasing water and taking in water at the same time... Are you out of your mind?Which neuropathy is this the problem of?Doesn't this mean to embarrass him, a little bamboo?
Huh~~Sister Daiyu, wait for Zhuer, and come to accompany you after Zhuer finishes brushing the questions~~
……
(Sunday will be closed as usual, brothers and sisters will see you on Monday, and Shouzhe will soon go back to reunite with his wife)
