Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Manufacturer, things are a little difficult!"

In a certain annex in the capital, Zhao Huairen, the general manager of the Imperial Store in the capital, sat half-assed on the official hat chair, with a hint of worry between his brows. He looked at Fang Zhenghua and said, "Restricted sales and food distribution in the past few days have made residents... The high food prices are gradually showing a downward trend, and although the situation in various areas inside and outside the capital is not as stable as it was at the beginning, it is not as turbulent as when food prices were maliciously driven up."

"But just today, some disruptors appeared in many grain shops. They disrupted the order of grain purchase, which caused the speed of limited sales and distribution of grain to be significantly slowed down. Many people who did not buy grain had a lot of resentment. .”

"The servants of Shuntian Mansion didn't care about this matter?"

Fang Zhenghua raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhao Huairen and said.

"This is where things get difficult."

Zhao Huairen rubbed his hands, his mood seemed a little wrong, "There are many people who come to make trouble, and they have something to do with the bosses of Dongjishi Factory."

Dongjishi Factory?

Hearing what Fang Zhenghua said here, he could not help but feel suspicious in his heart. Why is Dongji Factory involved in this? Could this matter still be related to Wei Zhongxian?

It shouldn’t be!

Thinking that Wei Zhongxian was still staying in Nanyuan, and this farce was staged before he returned to Beijing from Luoyang, it all seemed unreasonable.

"The most troublesome thing is that there is an extremely bad public opinion in various circles inside and outside the capital."

While Fang Zheng was thinking, Zhao Huairen continued: "Young men here in the capital used to do some things to help the people. Now someone has seized on this and used it to stir up some people's emotions."

"Since we have done so many good deeds before, and now that there is such a trend in the capital, why do we still sell food at a reasonable price? Isn't it better to open a porridge restaurant to do good deeds?"

"Okay, okay, okay!!"

Fang Zhenghua narrowed his eyes slightly and said with sharp eyes: "These guys want to stir up trouble by disrupting the situation, and then provoke trouble by flattering and killing!"

"That's what worries me the most."

Zhao Huairen nodded and said: "After such a long period of price hikes, not to mention other places in the capital, but just in and around the capital, I don't know how many people have become resentful."

"In the past, those grain merchants who participated in driving up grain prices had powerful connections behind them. For small households, especially ordinary people, they would not dare to provoke them easily."

"Now, some people have seen that the grain shops and grain stores in various places inside and outside the capital have restricted grain sales. They may be supported by someone behind them, but they don't know who it is, so they want to use this method to test."

"Then what do you think?"

Fang Zhenghua lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at Zhao Huairen and said, "The fact that you have joined our family cannot be announced for the time being. If someone harasses you, our family will try to solve it, and it will be solved by tomorrow at the latest."

"But this malicious public opinion needs to be resolved by yourselves. The civil servants in the outer court are all ready to take action."

"Young ones have a way to solve it."

Zhao Huairen's eyes lit up and he stood up and said: "In fact, this public opinion can be easily dispelled. As long as the merchants participating in the imperial store and the grain store under their name can sell grain at a price consistent with the existing market price. , this dirty water won’t be splashed on the little ones.”

"Then the suppression of food prices just stopped?"

Fang Zhenghua stared at Zhao Huairen and said.

"No, don't stop."

Zhao Huairen's Adam's apple squirmed, and he immediately explained: "Through the purchase and release of grain in the past few days, I have figured out the demand for food in each neighborhood. While raising the price of food, in the name of helping the people, I have restricted the release of corresponding grain every day. Grain, the price of this part of the grain is still the same as before, and it even has to be mixed with some ingredients."

Ok?

Fang Zhenghua seemed to have thought of something.

"While doing these things, the younger ones will send people to spread some news."

Zhao Huairen continued: "As long as the resentful people in the capital can be diverted to other places, and even during this period, there are some looting and smashing of grain stores, then some people can be forced to do it." Release a batch of low-priced grains. If this can be done, not only the price hikes in the capital can be suppressed, but also the prices of grains in various parts of the Gyeongsang Province can be suppressed."

Wonderful! !

Fang Zhenghua's eyes changed when he looked at Zhao Huairen.

Isn't this flattery in disguise?

Changing the situation in front of everyone, on the surface, it appears to be following the trend, but what it actually does is to reversely suppress food prices. If this can really be achieved, the resentment that has arisen among the people will be transferred, and in this Under the background of , there are many things that can be operated secretly.

This Zhao Huairen is not simple!

Fang Zhenghua couldn't help but praise in his heart, but there was no change on the surface. Looking at Zhao Huairen who was a little nervous, Fang Zhenghua, who was leaning on the official hat chair, deliberately paused for a long time.

It gave Zhao Huairen the feeling that he was thinking about it.

"Since you are the general manager of the Royal Store in Beijing, let's do it according to your ideas first." After an unknown period of time, Fang Zhenghua said leisurely: "In addition, give your ideas to the emperors of various prefectures in Beizhili. The store manager told me that if this can be done, we will give you a credit!"

"Here!"

Zhao Huairen bowed excitedly and responded.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there are too many people who have become nourishment for some people in the process of climbing up.

Why?

As long as there are people, there must be rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about human nature!

A word can make a difference.

One word can do bad things.

It seems like just a few words, but there are too many mysteries hidden behind them.

"Mr. Factory, I have a merciless request."

After the matter was finalized, Zhao Huairen hesitated for a moment and still said what he thought.

"speak."

Fang Zheng's words are concise and concise.

Compared with the previous period when he was hovering on the edge, Founder has experienced a lot now and is already different from before. He has also seen through the human heart.

One person supports the Xiji Service Factory to do things, and leading a group of people to do things are two completely different results.

"In the next few days, I hope that the factory office will lead the West Police Factory to arrest all the gangsters in the capital."

Zhao Huairen said what he was thinking, "And we need to create a momentum that the West Police Factory is investigating this matter. Such a small thing can produce results in a short period of time."

"Just this once, never happen again."

Fang Zhenghua rolled up the sleeves of his robe, stood up from the official hat chair, glanced at Zhao Huairen and said, "If you want to take advantage of the situation, our family will help you this time, but don't think about forcing the West Police Factory to do things in the future!"

"I understand, little one!!"

Zhao Huairen's heartbeat inevitably accelerated, and he immediately bowed in response.
