Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 486 , Qian Family Qian Youwei!

According to Liu Dongshan's estimation, if Luoyang's Liu family, Song family and Wang family join forces, plus those big landlords and wealthy merchants, if they really open warehouses to release food, even if they can't feed the people of Luoyang, but Luoyang It will definitely not be what it is now!
And the most hateful thing is that what Li Mo has been worried about will happen to rich merchants and wealthy households, and it has already happened, including the Qian family, the Song family, the Wang family, and these big landlords in Luoyang. The price of food in Luoyang City has risen to a terrifying level!

Taking Chang'an as an example, the price of rice in Chang'an City is six Wen a catty, and the price of flour is four Wen a catty. Luoyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains, a large grain-producing area, and the grain is abundant, so the price of grain will naturally be lower.
In the past, the price of rice in Luoyang was about five Wen a catty, and the face price was three Wen a catty, but now the price of rice and noodles in Luoyang City has soared by more than four or five times.
Moreover, the price of grain in Luoyang is almost the same every day. Maybe it was 25 Wen a catty yesterday, but today it will be [-] or even [-] Wen a catty!
Under such a high food price, how can ordinary people not have their wives and children scattered, and their families are destroyed!
"How dare you, knowing that this king is here, you dare to do this!"

Li Mo sneered for a moment. Sure enough, before coming to the disaster relief, he had already thought that the word King Yan would definitely not be enough to make this disaster relief journey smooth!

Since ancient times, money and silk have moved people's hearts. Those who have been blinded by interests can't do anything!
Even if you heard that King Yan is the chief officer of the three disaster relief this time, there are still many people who take risks because of this!
Not because of anything else, just because the benefits in front of me are extremely exciting. In the past, it took a lot of hard work to do it, but now you only need to wait for the situation to deteriorate, and the money in your pocket can be compared day by day. When the day gets richer, let me ask who can resist this temptation, and this is not something that can be solved by providing money and food relief for each family.
Instead of this, it’s better for everyone to be in the same boat. Anyway, the law does not punish the public, and they are not considered to be breaking the law. The food is their own. How much money they want to sell has nothing to do with your government?

If the imperial court is really capable, they will open warehouses to release grain to help the people. If the imperial court’s grain is five renminbi a catty, then no matter how good the grain in our families is, can it be sold for twenty renminbi?
Since your court has no food and cannot help the people, then don’t put your hopes on our families. Whose food is not grown with hard work, you just let us lose so much profit for nothing , who can do it, who will do it?

"Liu Dongshan, you take this king's order to invite all the rich merchants and rich households in Luoyang City. Tonight, this king will host a banquet in the governor's mansion, so they must come!"

Li Mo said in a low voice, it's fine for these powerful families, landlords and wealthy households to do some small evils in normal times, but now it is definitely a cancer in Luoyang, a cancer in the land of three realms, if you can't get rid of these cancers as soon as possible If it is settled, the three ways of disaster relief are difficult!

"Yes!"

Liu Dongshan was overjoyed immediately, he didn't know that if he wanted to ease the situation in Luoyang now, the way out lay in the rich landlords and households in Luoyang.
But it is a pity that the Qian family, the Song family, and the Wang family did not let go, and the situation in Luoyang could not be effectively alleviated. However, these days, Liu Dongshan often visited these three families, but all he got was closed doors. He simply ignored him and didn't take him, the governor of Luoyang seriously, at all!

But now, King Yan is here, Liu Dongshan wants to see it very much, now that these three families know that King Yan is here, dare they be so domineering!
……

Luoyang Qian Family,

The old house of the Qian family is not in Luoyang city, but in Qianjiazhuang outside Luoyang city. Qianjiazhuang is only twenty miles away from Luoyang.

The entire family of the Qian family is in Qianjiazhuang. The entire Qianjiazhuang has a population of tens of thousands, almost comparable to some small counties. However, Qianjiazhuang is still a village, so there is no county magistrate!

In this era when the imperial power does not go to the countryside, the Qian family is the master of the Qian family, and the master of the Qian family is Qian Youwei, the current head of the Qian family!
Speaking of the name Qian Youwei, it is taken from the four characters of gentleman, unfortunately, it seems a little out of place when paired with the character of money.

At a time when the entire Henan area is in a catastrophe, Qianjiazhuang is quite like a paradise,
Although the crops and trees in Qianjiazhuang, everything that can see a little green has been eaten and wiped out by those locusts.

But although not all the people in Qianjiazhuang have ruddy complexions, they are definitely not so hungry that they look pale, let alone so hungry that they are skinny!
In a catastrophic year, a paradise like Qianjiazhuang must be begged by countless fleeing people, but it is a pity that there are too many people in Qianjiazhuang, and there is also a team to protect the village, equipped with swords and horses, It's just that there is no armor and crossbow!

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the private possession of swords and swords is not prohibited among the people, but if you have iron armor and crossbows in your possession, it is a violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty and you are suspected of treason.
However, for Qianjiazhuang, it doesn't matter whether he has armor or a strong crossbow. With a sword on his body and a team of thousands of people with two hundred horses, it is enough to make those disaster victims who heard the news uneasy. How dare you offend Qian Jiazhuang!
Qian's old house,

Qian Youwei was fiddling with a golden abacus in his hand, that's right, it was a golden abacus held in the palm of Qian Youwei's palm, it was shining brightly, and the glitter of gold made people unable to move their eyes away!

And Qian Youwei, the patriarch of the Qian family, really doesn't look very good, with a bit of a mischievous eyebrow, especially with a mustache, he really looks like a mouse has turned into a spirit!
"My lord, the Luoyang government has come again and said they want to invite the lord to a banquet!"

The housekeeper, Qian Dafu, with a big belly, walked into the main hall with some difficulty in moving, nodded and said to Qian Youwei!

Qian Youwei didn't raise his head, he was still fiddling with the golden abacus in his hand, his brows were slightly frowned: "No, no, tell them that my master is unwell and can't get out of bed!"

Qian Youwei said casually, the Luoyang government has often come to invite him these days,
But Qian Youwei shied away all of them on the grounds that he was unwell, and even Liu Dongshan, the governor of Luoyang, came to invite him in person a few days ago.

But Qian Youwei just lay on the bed, waiting for Liu Dongshan to come, once Liu Dongshan said something else, Qian Youwei would cough and cough non-stop!
