I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 82 The leeks want to unite?

The Qianqing Palace is very warm, and the little emperor's body is even more fragrant and soft, but the empress dowager and the courtiers in the court are always stuck in the throat; Li Yuntang only relaxed a little, and then threw himself into the great cause of "cutting leeks" .

In the next few days, under the instruction of Li Yuntang, Andrew raised the purchase price twice, which undoubtedly once again ignited the enthusiasm of the rich and powerful in Beijing;

In the early morning of this day, Li Yuntang went to the Jiazi Bureau of the South Yamen of the Police Department again. After walking into the secret main office unimpeded, he saw a familiar figure just past the screen wall——Zhang Xianqiu was sitting at the stone table in the front office. It is used as food.

Li Yuntang walked over slowly, approached, stretched out his right hand to grab a fritter at will, and asked at the same time:
"Director Zhang, how did you go about what I ordered a few days ago?"

What Li Yuntang was referring to was spreading news secretly, pointing the source of the continuous outflow of treasures on the market to the nobles of the Western Army.

Zhang Xianqiu is in his own yamen, and he is eating a feast, so he is not on guard, until a hand is stretched out in front of him, the bureau chief looks up in surprise, wanting to know who is so bold and dares to touch his own breakfast.

As a result, after seeing the person coming, Zhang Xianqiu hastily took a mouthful of soy milk to get the rest of the food down, then got up and said:
"The things that the angels have told me, the lowly position naturally dare not neglect; in recent days, the brothers in the yamen have been running back and forth in all the teahouses, restaurants, vegetable markets, and brothels in the capital. Rumors spread all over the place;

In addition, most of the spies selected by our Nan Yamen to sell treasure banknotes are powerful men with military skills, and they have the style of the army in every gesture; the conversations deliberately spoken to the buyers are also implicitly mixed with military codes. "

"Food is the most important thing for the people, so there is no need to be so flustered. It's okay to talk after eating." Li Yuntang patted the bureau chief's shoulder with his left hand, and at the same time exerted a slight downward force on his hand, signaling him to sit down. He took a sip of fried dough sticks and looked very contented.

As long as this rumor is spread, Li Yuntang doesn't have to worry too much. Those officials and dignitaries will blame the emperor for secretly selling the treasures. There are two main reasons:

The first reason is that he analyzed it in front of the little emperor before, and on the surface, the powerful people of the Western Army are the most suspected.

The other is that those nobles of the Western Army cannot clarify; their words are unsubstantiated, and the officials and dignitaries, mainly civil servants, have never dealt with the nobles, so naturally they will not believe the empty words of the nobles of the Western Army.

Li Yuntang has already calculated to the death, knowing that these nobles will only be cowards, at most they will fight a few words, and absolutely dare not come out to catch the "real culprit" in order to clear up the "wrongedness".

But Zhang Xianqiu hadn't figured it out yet. After breakfast, he immediately expressed his doubts:
"Angel, if the nobles of the Western Army take advantage of our spies selling precious banknotes at night and capture them on the spot to clarify the facts, what should we do?"

Li Yuntang shook his head with a smile, and sat down on his own. He moved a bowl of soy milk from the table, and while stirring the fried dough sticks in his hand, he replied:
"If Mr. Zhang put himself in the situation and considered the issue from the perspective of the nobles of the Western Army, it is not difficult to understand why they dare not intervene;
The reason is very simple, even if they try their best to block people, the blocked police and Nanya spies can backhandedly accuse the treasure money from the Western Army Department! . "

"But it's easy to find out."

Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Xianqiu's voice stopped abruptly; after Li Yuntang's advice, he directly figured out the matter:

Even if someone is caught, in order to prove their innocence, the nobles of the Western Army cannot privately set up a torture hall, and must report to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture; At that time, the focus of concern is no longer on this.

It is not at all a fault for a few ordinary people to sell precious banknotes; but the sale of nobles from the Western Army has proved that they have not destroyed the precious banknotes and disobeyed the imperial edict of the late emperor.

This crime is enough to make a big fuss, even if the person who committed the crime is ransacked and wiped out, it is not an exaggeration at all; just ask who would put the fat pig-like nobles not to frame them, but to target the spies pretending to be civilians What about them?
The emperor will not, and the courtiers will not!
Therefore, the nobles of the Western Army have this concern, and would rather take the blame than dare to move lightly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianqiu looked at Li Yuntang with a little more awe; in his opinion, this angel is young, he can analyze the interests and disadvantages, and at the same time, he can control people's hearts with insight.

With such agility, it is no wonder that the emperor trusts this person so much.

Li Yuntang just stuffed the last piece of fried dough sticks in his hand into his mouth, and at the same time picked up the little bowl of soy milk in front of him, and drank it in one gulp; then he wanted to get up and stretch his muscles and bones, and suddenly saw a familiar The figure came over.

The person who came was none other than Xuan Tian who contradicted the angel that day. Li Yuntang saw that he was upright, so he sent him to manage the accounts of the treasure money. It is the best use of people.

After receiving the account of Baochao, Li Yuntang looked at it and nodded slightly; after working day and night for the past ten days, he still had some results.

If the end is taken before each price increase, then there have been five phases of hype for precious banknotes; the profit of each phase is different, ranging from tens of thousands of taels to 10,000+ taels; the total adds up to 59 taels more than enough.

The little emperor's capital has fully doubled in just a dozen days!
Of course, this number is far from Li Yuntang's expectation by more than an order of magnitude; but this momentum at least shows that he has done a good job in the early stage, and the investment enthusiasm of the "leeks" continues to rise.

This is the best way, when the invisible sickle in his hand is sharpened to the sharpest, it is the time to reap the harvest.

Li Yuntang, who wanted to be beautiful, saw something wrong when he saw the previous purchase prices of the two sides' banknotes, and he immediately said to himself:

"After the third, fourth, and fifth price hikes, the purchase prices set by Andrew are four taels, five taels, and six taels respectively;
And the prices that the gang of dignitaries bought our precious banknotes were about three, two, four, eight cents, four, two, five, three cents, and five, two, five, and nine cents on average;
Mr. Zhang, have you found any problems? "

The law is not difficult to understand. The profits of the rich and powerful buying banknotes are getting less and less. After thinking for a while, Zhang Xianqiu frowned and said:

"The angels are worried that they will stop buying banknotes because the profits are too low?"

"No, not worried that they will stop the acquisition!"

Li Yuntang quickly denied it, and then suddenly turned his gaze to the northwest—that direction is where the rich and powerful in the inner city lived. He stroked his smooth chin, and analyzed:
"On the contrary, I feel that they may be colluding!"

Before the words were finished, a policeman from the Nanya Yamen immediately entered the room, and when he saw Li Yuntang and Zhang Xianqiu, he bowed to each other, and said:
"Angel, Bureau Chief, the spies from various banners have recently discovered that a group of merchants, grain merchants, salt merchants and other wealthy merchants in the capital have been frequenting each other in recent days; these dozens of merchants probably have one common feature——

They are all people who have interests with the officials of the capital! "
