Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Although the food earns not much, it is not even as much as the clans of the Tang Dynasty earn more.Chen Ying gave them [-] qian per bucket of grain for them, and they earned more than ten times that.Most importantly, they also gained a relatively good reputation, which cannot be bought with a thousand dollars.

Chen Ying made the most money, in fact, it was Datang Tongli Bank. The loan of 150 million guan plus the court’s 300 million guan made a total of 450 million guan. The profit in one year was nearly 90 guan. The short selling of grain has gone bankrupt, and they will definitely not be able to repay the loan on time within the next year. Chen should have the right to auction these properties.

Chen Ying can even consider auctioning these properties at a higher price than the original price, and he can earn 500 million yuan within the next year.You must know that Datang's annual financial revenue is only more than 500 million yuan, which is almost as rich as a country.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and asked, "Chen Lang, is the grain price in Guanzhong still falling?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "It will surrender, there are still more than 300 million people in Guanzhong, even if the more than 1000 million shi of grain is still not enough to eat, so they are forced to spit out the grain, which is called taking from the people and using it." Yu Min."

Although because the Eastern Turks sent envoys into the pass, in order to prevent the Turks from seeing the truth in the pass, Chen Ying could only be forced to fight in advance, and he will continue to suppress the price of grain.

After all, although Chen Ying was the main force participating in the grain war in Guanzhong, many grain merchants who took advantage of the opportunity were caught in this net.The food for these people has already been transported to Guanzhong. As the saying goes, the food will die on the ground. Chen Ying will never let the food go out of Guanzhong again.

Grain prices continue to drop, and these grain merchants who want to fish in troubled waters will also be forced to sell. After all, once they transport the grain back, the price will be higher.

Of course, in order to make up for the grain merchants who brought them into Guanzhong, Chen bought all their grain at a price of 900 yuan per bucket.At this time, the food in Chen Ying's hands was still nearly [-] million shi.

But this war is not over yet.The grain in the hands of the Guanzhong Grain Merchants Group is almost 500 million shi. Chen Ying needs them to spit out this grain.

The price of 25 qian is still too high. In order to make up for the loss of the people, Chen Ying decided to lower the price by [-] qian per bucket, which is [-] qian per bucket.

Guanzhong grain merchants will have even more headaches then.

They will lose everything.

……

Chang'an was completely crazy. As the price of food fell, the people were so excited that they sang and danced.After nightfall, fireworks can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City. The sky that I knew well before had no stars, but now it is colorfully infiltrated by colorful fireworks.

In the middle of July, the air is scorching hot.Although it was sweltering, it didn't stop the enthusiasm of the people. The entire Chang'an City was shrouded in bright lights and surrounded by a lively atmosphere.

All kinds of people crowded the streets and alleys of Chang'an City at the same time, some were wandering, some were shopping, some were looking for spouses and friends, and some were reciting poems and making love in remote teahouses, arty.

At this moment, all the people who appeared on the street had bright smiles on their faces, a sincere smile that had never appeared before.

Among the crowd on the street, there were three people crowded together, it was Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling.

A smile finally appeared on Li Jiancheng's originally gloomy face. Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were no different from ordinary people, looking around from time to time, attracted by the bustle and noise.

Li Jiancheng is not unmoved by these scenes, all this is not in his eyes, but in his heart.To be honest, Li Jiancai has not seen such joy and joy among the people for many years.

Li Jiancheng didn't speak or look around along the way. The three of them arrived at the south gate from time to time. Although it seemed a bit noisy, this kind of noise was a rare scene in the seven years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng's eyes were a little moist. The Tang Dynasty in his dream was like this, and the people were satisfied and happy.Especially when the fear of famine is lifted, the streets and alleys of Chang'an are filled with the smell of food, such as mutton soup cakes, mustard cakes, roast mutton, and the sweet and greasy smell of glutinous rice.

Li Jiancheng knew very well that it was not the princes of the Manchu Dynasty who created all this with their own hands, nor was it the aristocratic family who assisted them so much when Li Tang founded the country, but Chen Ying.

The worry of famine in Guanzhong this time also allowed Li Jiancheng to fully see the face of the aristocratic family. Li Jiancheng unconsciously emerged in Li Jiancheng's head the grand blueprint that Chen Ying had drawn for him.

Li Jiancheng finally recovered from this mysterious environment, he looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "Fang Qing, your five strategies, including sending documents and disarming the army, I have already done it, and the rest , I am also going to do it one by one, but you, the instigator, can't stand by and watch, whoever advocates, whoever implements, your own suggestion, you have to do it yourself."

Fang Xuanling smiled indifferently and said, "What is your Majesty most anxious to do right now?"

Li Jiancheng thought while saying: "I hope that you can come forward to preside over the official department and reduce the number of officials, but the most urgent thing right now is to announce the demotion of the clan."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing to do now is that the Turkic envoy is about to enter Chang'an, how to deceive the Turkic envoy is the most important thing!"

The corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched and said, "Then I... must transfer Chen Ying back to Chang'an."

Wei Zheng nodded silently and said, "It should be the best choice for General Chen to deal with the Turkic envoys!"

……

In just five days, Yu Wenhuaji seemed to have passed five years. He never thought that Chen Ying would transfer grain from Jiangnan, and he still didn't know it.In fact, Chen Ying not only asked Xie Hui to help transport grain, but also transported grain from Lin Luguo in the Indochina Peninsula.Lin Luguo, because of the Champa Rice, the rice in Linyi Kingdom is as cheap as dirt.

Zhang Zhongjian's ocean-going fleet can exchange a kitchen knife worth a few pennies for two shi of rice in Lin Yiguo, and the average price is less than a penny per bucket.Of course, if the cloth with excellent air permeability is exchanged, the price paid for a ship of thousands of shi grains is only a few bolts of cloth.

The point is that Zhang Zhongjian still wants to save money with such a cheap deal, anyway, his subordinates are all pirates who are used to buying things without money, and asking them to spend money to buy things is a bit high on their morals.

As Zhang Zhongjian was preparing to fully withdraw from Chikuzi Island and all the forces in the Indochina Peninsula, Zhang Zhongjian and Chen Ying made a huge arms sales deal. Zhang Zhongjian exchanged more than 300 million shi for free grain from Chen Ying for a million pieces. There are three-edged arrows and more than [-] folded shields, as well as a considerable number of spears.

The food crisis in Guanzhong is actually caused by too many accidental factors. Once the autumn harvest next year, the lack of food can meet the consumption of the people in Guanzhong and save money to the surrounding areas.

In this case, they will also drop sharply if they keep the grain. You must know that the grain in Guanzhong is only five yuan in the harvest year.

A retinue reported to Yu Wenhuaji: "Sir, today's food has dropped by another [-] cents, and seven more Liang family members committed suicide!"

Li Yuanji was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood at this moment. He managed to accumulate millions of fortunes, and this time all of them were thrown into the food war. The result was good. In just five days, the original million fortunes were less than 30.

There were blisters on the corners of Li Yuanji's mouth, he said anxiously, "Sir, what should we do now?"

A shopkeeper said anxiously: "It's all the damn Chen Ying's tricks..."

Li Yuanji said angrily: "Then kill him!"

"It's useless!" Yu Wenhuaji shook his head and said, "If Chen Ying could be killed so easily, how could he survive to this day? He has more than [-] guards when he goes in and out, and he doesn't go out of Chenjiabao usually. He wants to deal with him. It’s just bringing shame on yourself!”

Li Yuanji's eyes were tearing and he said: "I don't believe that there are people who can't be killed in this world, so I invite him to come to my house as a guest. When the time comes, I will poison him. At worst, I will learn from my second child and feed myself." A glass of poisoned wine..."

"It's useless!" Yu Wenhuaji sighed and said, "If killing people is useful, how can I be lenient? Now that Chen Ying has handed over the food to the government, whether Chen Ying is there or not, the crisis of food starvation has been resolved, and it will not help the matter." !"

Li Yuanji asked anxiously, "Then what should we do now?"

Yu Wenhuaji said solemnly: "We can only wait!"

"Wait?" Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenhuaji suspiciously.

Yu Wenhuaji looked at the north, and murmured: "Now it's up to Jieli Khan, as long as he doesn't give in, we still have a chance!"

In fact, as Yu Wenhuaji said, the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is about to break out. Once the Tang Dynasty wins, it will naturally be stable. Once Li Jiancheng is defeated, no matter how much food Guanzhong has, it is not enough for the Turks to grab Yes, at that time, the food crisis will still break out, and the money and food they lost will be recovered.

Chen Ying received a verbal order from Li Jiancheng, asking him to be responsible for receiving the Turkic envoys. Chen Ying dared not neglect, and immediately rode his horse back to Chang'an City with his personal guards.

Now that Chen Ying has strengthened his defense force, he has become the public enemy of the aristocratic family in the whole Guanzhong. I don't know how many people want to kill him.

Just as he entered the gate of the city, Chen Ying looked at the energetic soldiers and frowned slightly.

Although most of the Tang Dynasty elites from Guanzhong are good-looking, they are afraid that the Turkic people will think that the Tang Dynasty is bluffing. After thinking about it, Chen Yingdao said: "To recruit three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled disaster victims, it is as miserable as it is, and it is better to be thin. It's out of shape!"

Soon Chen Ying used [-] victims of the disaster to put on the armor of the city guards and let them replace the original tall Guanzhong soldiers on duty.

When the East Turkic envoys arrived in Chang'an City, they especially looked at those frail faces and bony figures with contempt on their faces.

However, Bu Lugen, who was dressed as an ordinary member of the mission, pretended to approach the guarding soldiers and looked at them closely.

It wasn't long until Chen Ying led the East Turkic Mission into Chang'an City.

A serious look appeared on Bu Lugen's face.
