Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Wang Cai sneered: "He's here too!"

"Why is he here?"

"Go, I'll meet him in the past."

Everyone walked up to Zhao Ning, who was reading a book there, and seeing them coming, he didn't take a second look.

Wang Cai laughed and said, "Officer Zhao, you are here too!"

Zhao Ning ignored him.

Zhu Shen said: "Official Zhao can come here?"

At this time, Zhou Yan came over: "What are you doing here, it's about to start, why don't you go in?"

"Zhou Shangguan, look at this person is here!"

Zhou Yan looked at Zhao Ning, and his face sank immediately: "Why are you here!"

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Wang Zonglian invited me here."

"Nonsense! What are you? Wang Taiwei invited you here?" Zhou Yan glared at Zhao Ning.

At this time, there was already a voice from inside, and Zhou Yan couldn't continue talking, so he walked in with a few people.

Zhao Ning's voice came from behind: "You control the grain price at two guan per shi, does Wang Taiwei know about this?"

Zhou Yan immediately turned around and walked over, and said in a low voice: "I tell you, if you dare to talk nonsense today, carefully pull out your tongue! This is not something you can meddle in. If you want to survive, just shut up obediently!"

Li Xun also came over and said, "Officer Zhao, some things are much more complicated than you think. With your status, you can't afford to offend them. The most important thing is to save your life, understand!"

Zhao Ning didn't speak, he stood up and walked to the backyard.

Not long after, the discussion in the front hall had already begun.

Zhao Ning was sitting in the back, listening quietly.

This is the first time that the Bureau of Commerce and Society of the Great Song Dynasty convened businessmen from Tokyo to discuss matters.

As an important part of the country, businessmen must obey the imperial court's command.

From the year before last to the present, businessmen have colluded with officials, taking advantage of the chaos in the court, and caused many incidents, and it is time to rectify it.

Wang Zonglin mainly talked about the following points:

The first is about business company registration records.

The second is about the stability of prices in Tokyo.

When it came to grain prices, some grain merchants began to say: "Wang Taiwei, to be honest, grain is limited, so grain prices have not been able to come down."

"Yes, food is limited, and there is no way around it."

At this time, Zhou Yan said to Li Chunmao, the doctor who promoted the Shiyi Division: "Li Langzhong, the lower officials have also reported this matter many times, and the amount of food is indeed limited."

Li Chunmao said to Wang Zonglin: "Wang Taiwei, the officials and others try their best to adjust the grain price, but it still takes time, after all, it is a special period."

Zhao Ning could hear all these clearly from behind, so he sent people to go to the front to call Wang Zonglin.

Not long after, Wang Zonglin came.

Zhao Ning asked him to call Zhou Yan, Li Chunmao and others, as well as Zhu Shen, Li Xun, Wang Cai and others.

As soon as Zhou Yan got to the back, he saw Zhao Ning sitting there, he was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Bold! Who told you to sit here!"

Chapter 219 Look again, can food prices drop? (first update)

Wang Cai and the others also saw Zhao Ning, and were a little surprised. They didn't expect Zhao Ning to come here again.

Now there is a good show to watch, kill him!

Before Wang Zonglian could react, Zhou Yan said again: "This is the yamen of Taifu Temple Commercial Bureau, and Wang Taiwei is here now, how dare you make a mistake!"

When Wang Zonglin heard Zhou Yan's words, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up and slapped him.

Zhou Yan, you are fucking looking for death to go to the toilet. You came here to drag me to the toilet together?

Wang Zonglin quickly ran over and knelt down with a look of bewilderment: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty!"

When everyone saw Wang Zonglian kneeling, they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.

This, this, this... this is...

Zhao Ning sat there and said indifferently: "What is your crime?"

"This... I don't know what happened..."

"Get up."

Seeing that Zhao Guanjia's tone didn't seem to be angry, Wang Zong got up quickly.

Zhou Yan stayed there the whole time.

Wang Cai, Zhu Shen, Li Xun and others also stayed there, staring wide-eyed, like ducks being strangled by their necks.

On one side, Li Chunmao, a doctor in the city Yisi, was promoted. Seeing the behavior of his immediate boss, he immediately realized the identity of the person in front of him.

He came over quickly: "The ministers all mentioned Li Chunmao, the doctor of the city Yisi, to see your majesty, Sheng'an."

Zhao Ning didn't even look at him, but said lightly: "I'm...uneasy."

Although this sentence is plain, it has an invisible coercion, like a mountain pressing down on Li Chunmao's heart, making him stay there, not daring to breathe.

Zhao Ning just sat there, drinking tea by himself, as if nothing happened.

But the surrounding air has frozen.

Zhou Yan walked over trembling and startled, knelt on the ground, put his forehead on the back of his hands, his long sleeves covered his head, his throat was dry, as if something was stuck there.

It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength before Zhou Yan said: "Chen... I refer to Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Li Xun, Wang Cai, and Zhu Shen also quickly knelt down on the ground. Like Zhou Yan, they buried their heads with long sleeves and trembled.

Zhao Ning was still drinking tea without even looking at it.

He does not speak, no one dares to speak.

After what seemed like a long time, Zhou Yan summoned up his courage again and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Zhao Ning still didn't speak, and everyone felt that breathing became very difficult.

It wasn't until Zhao Ning drank the tea slowly that he said, "Seven hundred pennies a stone, can you sell it?"

Zhou Yan's whole body trembled, and he quickly said, "Can...can be sold!"

"Can it be sold?"

"can!"

"In Qian's house, Zhou Yuanwailang didn't say that?"

"The minister is guilty of death!"

"Li Xun, Zhu Shen, Wang Cai."

Every time Zhao Guan's family uttered a name, it was like a mountain was pressed down on top of their heads, so that their whole bodies seemed to be crushed.

"Grass people... Cao people are..."

"Seven hundred pennies a stone, can you sell it?"

"Your Majesty, it's all Zhou..."

"I ask you if you can sell seven hundred wen?"

"Can...can be sold!"

Zhao Ning put down the teacup in his hand, and glanced at Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yuanwailang, did Wang Taiwei look for you?"

"Looked for... found..."

"Tell you about the price of food?"

"said."

"I gave you a chance, if you had listened to Wang Taiwei, how could things have come to this point today?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is unwilling to suppress it, it's that the food is short..."

Before he could finish speaking, the cup in Zhao Ning's hand had already been thrown to one side, and with a bang, the flower bed on the other side was smashed.

Everyone wanted to debate a few words, but immediately shut up.

Zhao Guanjia lowered his voice: "Zhou Yuanwailang, what a good way! Put pressure on every businessman who enters Beijing, without leaving any trace!"

"Your Majesty, the subject was instructed by Li Chunmao, and it was Li Chunmao who instructed the subject..."

Li Chunmao knelt directly: "Your Majesty, he spouted blood."

Before he could say anything, Zhao Guanjia waved his hand: "These two people were dragged out and hacked up at the entrance of the Commercial Society Bureau. After the hacking, the crimes were announced to all the merchants outside."

"Your Majesty, I am wronged..."

Li Chunmao and Zhou Yan were dragged away by the secretary in front of the palace, and their faces turned pale immediately, and they shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life..."

Li Chunmao was Li Xun's father, and Li Xun was so frightened that he trembled and peed in fright.

Zhao Ning said again: "Wang Cai, Li Xun, and Zhu Shen are all sent to death row, their homes are ransacked, and their families are exiled to the border!"

The three of them collapsed on the ground, allowing others to drag them down.

"In three months, it's okay to lower the price of food in Tokyo to [-] Wen per shi?"

Wang Zonglin had cold sweat on his forehead: "No problem."

Zhao Ning got up and walked out the back door.

Food prices are naturally determined by economic activity.

In a free market, the relationship between supply and demand determines the price of goods.

But don’t forget, it’s in the world of Hayek’s theory, and even Eagle Sauce, who advocates Hayekism, is almost killed by this set.

The economic base and the superstructure interact.

Administration and supply are handled at the same time. I don't believe that the price of food will not come down.

Not only in Tokyo, the price of food in Gyeonggi Road will also drop.

Lowering the price of food can increase the popularity of the people to a greater extent, win a stronger mass base, and repair the wounds of the new agricultural policy on Gyeonggi Road as quickly as possible.

The merchants in the front hall only heard faint shouts from behind, but unexpectedly, they were soon informed that Li Chunmao and Zhou Yan had been beheaded at the door.

All the officials of the Municipal Yisi and the Shangshe Bureau were shocked, and only then did they know that His Majesty the Emperor was in the Shangshe Bureau.

The charges against both of them were soon announced.

The two Qian brothers and sisters who were sitting below were shocked when they heard about it.

Qian Jinshu didn't expect Zhao Guan's family to be here and kill Zhou Yan so quickly.

Next, the discussion between Wang Zonglin and the merchants became much simpler, and everyone responded to any request.

What is registered, who goes where to increase the food supply, and how much it sells to the frontlines are all negotiable.

By the time the discussion ended, it was already afternoon.

Wang Zonglin received the Qian brothers and sisters alone.

The Qian brothers and sisters did not expect that they would be received by the current Wang Taiwei, so naturally they would not let this opportunity pass.

"Are you two from Hangzhou?"

"Yes."

"What is your relationship with Rong Guo Gong Qian Chen?"

The Qian Chen he was talking about was a descendant of Qian Liu, the founding king of Wuyue in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Qian Hongchu, the emperor of Wu and Yue, respected Qian Chen's ancestral precepts. In order to protect the people, he voluntarily surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty and brought 3000 people from the Qian family to Kaifeng to meet Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin was also known for his benevolence, so he accepted Qian's family together with Huairou.

Since then, many members of the Qian family have stayed in Kaifeng, and some branches are still in Hangzhou, spreading branches and leaves in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Jiangnan Qian family also produced many celebrities in the future. For example, the famous Qian Xuesen, Qian Zhongshu, and Qian Mu are descendants of the Wuyue monarch Qian Liu.
