Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 452
"Those retail investors have already sold almost all their food, and the prices seem to be pretty good."

"They are all earning a lot of money, and it won't take long for food to be transported to Chang'an City from outside. If we act too late, I'm afraid we will lose money."

The old man nodded and said, "Since that's the case, we don't have any reason to procrastinate, so let's start selling grain."

With the consent of the old man, everyone has no opinion and is ready to open a warehouse to sell grain.

At this time, those retail investors were already overjoyed.

Those grains that I garrisoned were sold out at a price that was unimaginable in my life, and there were still people rushing to buy them, and they all made a fortune.

In less than a few days, they made dozens of times the money they sold.

However, before they had time to be happy for too long, they discovered that those aristocratic families had also started selling grain outside.

Although the price is the same as his own, the quality of the grain released by those aristocratic families can surpass his own.

This kind of thing has made those retail investors vigilant. If there is a large amount of grain in the market, it may be difficult for them to sell it at this price.

In about ten days, merchants from outside will enter Chang'an City with food.

If by that time, I have not sold out these grains, the price will definitely return to normal by then.

The present opportunity is a once-in-a-century opportunity to make a fortune, and I absolutely cannot just miss it.

A group of retail investors got together and began to discuss how to deal with it.

"No, we have to lower the price, otherwise we really can't sell it."

"That's right, even if you earn less, you can't let the food rot in your own hands, or the price will drop even after a few days."

After everyone has discussed it, they will definitely lower the price together. No matter what, let’s make money first.

Soon, the price of food kept dropping, and it got lower and lower, and it gradually became normal so miraculously.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Yaojin and the others not only praised: "Our Prince is really a god, and he really succeeded in doing it."

Once those aristocratic families started selling grain, they couldn't stop at all.

In two days, the price of grain has dropped from a sky-high price of 40 taels of silver per catty to three taels of silver per catty.

Although the current price is still a bit high, it is much more normal than what it was a few days ago, and the price continues to fall.

……

In the Qin Mansion, Qin Yi held a bowl of hot soup, handed it to Qin Shubao, and said, "Dad, you must have caught a cold from running around these two days."

"Drink this bowl of soup. I made it specially for you."

Qin Shubao took the soup, took a sip, then looked up at his daughter, and said, "You must be exhausted these two days, go and rest."

"In two days, your mother should be back."

Qin Shubao's wife went back to her natal family to visit her relatives, and she will be there for about two months, and she should be back in a few days.

Qin Yi was also very happy to hear that her mother was coming back. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

After Qin Shubao finished drinking the soup, he said to Qin Yi: "By the way, if you have nothing to do these two days, you can visit His Highness the Crown Prince more often."

Hearing this, Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, then blushed suddenly.

She also knew that her father always wanted to match herself and Li Fu, and wanted to marry herself to him.

Although she liked Li Fu quite a lot, Qin Yi also knew that Li Fu had a sweetheart, and she was a girl, so she couldn't be too proactive.

Seeing his daughter's expression, Qin Shubao knew what she was thinking at a glance, so he said with a smile: "This person's happiness must be pursued by himself."

Qin Yi snorted and said, "Father, are you afraid that your daughter won't get married?"

"Hahaha." Qin Shubao laughed and said, "No, I know that my daughter has many suitors. The person who proposes marriage has already broken the threshold of our family."

"However, dad still hopes that you can find someone reliable. This Li Fu, despite his special status, he is really a good person."

"Okay, I got it, Dad." Qin Yi said, packed up the dishes, and then backed out.

……

Li Er was in the imperial study that day, when Dong Yang came to see him suddenly, Li Er was a little surprised, so he asked the eunuch to announce him in.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Dong Yang said directly as soon as he entered.

Li Er raised his head slightly and said, "Dong Aiqing has anything to say, just say it."

Dong Yang hurriedly said, "That's right. Now that the price of grain in Chang'an City has skyrocketed, I already know who is behind the scenes."

This Dong Yang is also one of the aristocratic families that stock up on food. Now he hates Li Fu very much and wants to bring him down.

"Who is it?" Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked.

Dong Yang replied: "It was Li Fu who was at the poetry competition before. The price of grain is so outrageous now, it's because of this person that he messed up the market."

"Your Majesty, such a person, under the natural disaster, only wants to make money for the country, he deserves to be punished for his crime!"

"Is there such a thing?" Li Er sneered in his heart, and then said, "However, I can't just convict others just because of your one-sided words."

Dong Yang was stunned and didn't know what the emperor meant.

"Let's do this." Li Er put down his pen and said, "Since you said that Li Fu is driving up food prices, let's find some ordinary people."

"Old people must know the price of grain the most. Let's find a few to ask, don't we know what is going on with the current grain price?"

Dong Yang frowned. He really couldn't figure out what Li Er was thinking. Could it be that this Li Fu had something to do with Li Er?
It shouldn't be, I have also investigated that Li Fu, he is simply an ordinary businessman with no background.

How could such a person have anything to do with the royal family?

Although he had doubts in his heart, since the emperor had spoken, Dong Hao didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly sent someone to Chang'an City to bring back two commoners.

While waiting for someone, Li Er asked Dong Yang to go out and wait, because he still had some business to deal with.

After about half an hour, several ordinary people were brought into the palace.

Li Er came to the main hall and asked all the civil and military officials to be present.

With the eunuch's shout, all the officials fell to their knees and went down the mountain to shout long live.

"Did someone bring it?" Li Er said in a deep voice, he just wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible.

Dong Yang came out and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the man brought it here, and is waiting outside, waiting for Your Majesty to announce you."
