My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 343
With a ferocious expression on Su Yunsheng's face, he said viciously, "Even if I can't hurt the General's Mansion, I still want to get the prescription for making sugar!"

Su He just stared at his eldest son with deep eyes. Although he lost a son, the Su family didn't take it for granted this time. Xu Junze's wife is not an idle person, and his daughter has been planted in her hands several times. During the day, Su Yunsheng wanted to get the formula for making sugar from her, but he was afraid that it would be very difficult to succeed.

But Su Yunsheng didn't think so. Officials have official ways, and businessmen have business ways. He has his own way to force the Xu family to subdue. Soon he found Bai Zhanyang, the head of the Bai family of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. He is the father of Young Master Bai. Is it a wine merchant or the largest grain merchant in the dark.

Immediately afterwards, many people discovered that the price of grain began to rise day by day. Although it only increased by one penny per catty, it was ten pennies in ten days. This may not have much impact on the rich, but for the poor As far as people are concerned, the increase in food is a bit scary.

It was not easy to make a living in winter, and there was no surplus food in the family. Life became more and more difficult. The cold winter had not yet come, but the people of the Jin Dynasty already felt the days that were more chilling than the twelfth lunar month.

Emperor Zhao You immediately took corresponding measures when he learned of this situation. Although there were granaries all over the court, they were unable to fight against the entire grain market. Even the rise in grain caused panic among the people, and some turmoil began in various places Many granaries have been robbed.

At this time, the imperial court also began to increase its efforts to purchase grain from grain merchants, but these big grain merchants traded at the daily market grain price, but the grain price was raised by them. How much is also in their final say.

"The imperial court bought grain from those grain merchants at a high price, and then sold it to the common people at a low price. All the money lost by the country went into the hands of those unscrupulous grain merchants!" Lei Yingying came to see Lin Shuran that day, and the two While chatting, they talked about the recent food problem. Because the household department was short of manpower, the emperor Zhao You temporarily transferred Du Sheng to the household department. Now he is mainly responsible for purchasing grain.

Lin Shuran also knows that the food issue is the most buzzing in the capital recently, and the coldest winter is coming. If the food issue is not resolved, this man-made disaster will be more terrible than a natural disaster.

"The food problem has been a big problem since ancient times. It is the lifeblood of a country, and this lifeblood must not be held in the hands of a certain person or a group of people with bad intentions, otherwise problems will arise sooner or later." Lin Shuran said worriedly.

It is said that food is the most important thing for the people, and what the people of the world care about most is the word "food and clothing", which is also a person's basic survival needs. The situation.

"If this goes on like this, I think there will be chaos, and I will arrest all those unscrupulous grain merchants!" Lei Yingying said angrily.

"Killing chickens to warn monkeys is not ineffective at all, but you have to find the most critical 'chicken'!" Lin Shuran remembered the wine merchant Baijia that Zhao Mu told her last time. It is also inseparable from the Bai family.

"What chickens and monkeys, but sister, I can't understand what you are saying, but I heard from my husband that the wine merchant Bai's family has two large granaries in the capital. If all the grain is brought out, the price of grain in the capital can be kept stable!" Lei Yingying said to Lin Shuran.

"Really? Is there no way for the court to let the Bai family take out the grain from the granary temporarily?" Lin Shuran felt that the court's envy and Shi always had a way to make the Bai family let go.

But Lei Yingying told Lin Shuran that the Patriarch of the Bai family said that the grain was used by the Bai family to make wine, and that they had already signed cooperation documents with others. You can't rob other people's things clearly, but if you buy them with silver, the court will not be able to give out so much silver for a while.

But what Lin Shuran thought was that it wasn't that the emperor Zhao You couldn't afford the money to buy grain, but that he was unhappy that the Ninth Five Lord actually wanted to spend money from a merchant to buy grain. This is really ridiculous and absurd , he can't let himself, the emperor, be reduced to a joke, let alone the Jin Dynasty.

Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran were talking, and Xu Minghan came to see Lin Shuran. During this period of time, the business of the sugar store can be said to be very popular. Yesterday, he just signed a cooperation agreement with several big merchants in Southeast County. Open a sugar workshop in Southeast County.

"You mother and son have something to talk about, so I'll go first!" Lei Yingying stood up winkingly. Lin Shuran wanted to keep her for dinner, but she said that she would go to Prince Jin's mansion. The mansion was very majestic, and punished Qiu Nai who was beside Princess Jin, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought harder than before.

As soon as Lei Yingying left, Xu Minghan took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Lin Shuran. Lin Shuran took it, then looked at him and asked, "What is this?"

"Mother will know after reading it!" Xu Minghan didn't explain further, but let Lin Shuran read the brochure first.

Lin Shuran turned the page and read it, her brows became more and more wrinkled, and the expression in her eyes became more and more serious, but also full of doubts. After finishing the booklet and closing it, she asked Xu Minghan, "Where are you from this booklet?" Come here? Can the things mentioned above be judged to be true or false?"

"Mother, don't worry, the things recorded in this booklet are all true. There has always been a secret gang in Jianghu. As long as you can afford the price, they can help you find out the information you want. A brochure about what the wine merchant Bai's family has done over the years." Xu Minghan said.

Lin Shuran wondered why Xu Minghan suddenly went to investigate the Bai family, so he asked: "What do you want to explain by giving me this booklet? Nothing recorded on it is good about the Bai family. You want to ask me if you want to hand it over to me?" To the government? Or are you going to blackmail the Bai family with this?"

Xu Minghan shook his head, and then said: "Mother, someone asked me to hand over this booklet to you. The man said that this booklet alone may not threaten the Bai family, nor can it completely defeat the Bai family. He hopes to join hands with you to deal with it." The Bai family, and then hold all the granaries of the Bai family in your hands."

"Brother Han, tell me the truth, when did you meet the little prince of Yaowang Mansion?" Lin Shuran only heard what Xu Minghan said, and he had already determined who gave him the booklet. The little prince Zhao Mu wanted to deal with Bai Family, why bother pulling yourself and using Xu Minghan again!
