Be an emperor from drawing cards

When the young shopkeeper heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but then a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry that I don't understand what you said."

Although he pretended not to understand what the other party said, he felt a turmoil in his heart.

He was cautious to begin with, but when he said those words, he had already used his inner strength to restrain his voice around the counter. Unless someone had a cultivation level far beyond his own, he would not be able to hear the content of the conversation between himself and the waiter.

His cultivation level has reached the seventh level bottleneck, and he is only one step away from the eighth level.

If this young master can hear what he just said, doesn't it mean that the other party's cultivation level...

As soon as he thought about this, a trace of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Yuhuatian closed the folding fan with a "swipe" sound, turned sideways and saluted with fists in the direction of Shenjing, and Fang said softly:

"Master Shen Lian is indeed the person your Majesty asked our family to look for. He is indeed cautious. His Majesty has decreed that you, Master Shen, should work with our family. Why, Master Shen seems a little unwilling?"

With that said, Yuhuatian waved to the two followers behind him.

The strong man who spoke first glanced at Shen Lian, silently took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, and handed it to Yu Huatian respectfully.

Yuhuatian gently placed the scroll on the counter and said:
"This is His Majesty's handwriting. Mr. Shen, would you like to see it with your own eyes?"

A few days ago, His Majesty sent someone to deliver a message, asking him to look for information about people named "Shen Lian" and "Lu Bing", and explained that once found, he would directly become his deputy.

If I want to show my face in front of His Majesty, I must complete this errand quickly.

But I didn't expect that it would be nowhere to be found if the iron shoes were worn out, and it would take no effort to get it.

Although Lu Bing didn't know where he was, Shen Lian's father opened a restaurant in Haochang City.

So, today’s trip took place.

However, he did not expect that from just a few words, he could hear Shen Lian's caution and sophistication. He even had a clearer understanding of government affairs than some officials.

His Majesty’s vision is truly amazing!

Having such a subordinate to assist me will make things much easier for me in the future.

Lu Bing and Shen Lian are the talents summoned by Zhao Yu not long ago with the help of the newly drawn minister card [Jinyi Minion].

If the official's moral improvement is not higher than 60 points, it will be increased to 60 points.

The attributes of Lu Bing and Shen Lian are no longer particularly outstanding in front of today's Zhao Yu, but they all have a common characteristic [Admiral in Golden Clothes].

This means that the two people's talents as secret agents are worthy of Zhao Yu's trust.

Looking at the ministers in the court, the only ones with some talent in this area are Jia Xu and Li Ru.

The agencies in Zhao Yu's hands to monitor the government and officials are the Oversight Yuan and the Editorial Office, both overt and covert, but neither of these two agencies can be regarded as complete intelligence agencies.

Therefore, after having Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun, Zhao Yu began to think about setting up a new spy agency such as Dongchangxichang or Jinyiwei to specialize in intelligence.

But unexpectedly, Lu Bing and Shen Lian came again.

It just so happened that the two father-in-laws were responsible for the organization's force, and Lu and Chen were the main executors.

With such considerations, Zhao Yu not only sent a handwritten message to Yuhuatian, but Cao Zhengchun also received the same treatment.

Back to the point.

Even though Shen Lian had a lot of plans, he didn't expect Yuhuatian to show off his cards directly like this.

After being stunned for a second, Shen Lian, who recognized the identity of the other party, nodded heavily: "I am willing to serve your Majesty and Eunuch Yu!"

Obviously, he recognized the other party's identity from the word "our family" that Yuhuatian just said.

The person in front of me, as a eunuch, can be sent to local supervisory officials, which is enough to show that your majesty trusts and values ​​him. In addition, the other party holds your majesty's order. If I don't know what to say and refuse, then in the end I won't have to do it at all. Think more.

In this case, it is better to just go with the flow and agree directly.

It is not a shame to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.

Seeing how knowledgeable Shen Lian was, a rare smile appeared on Yu Huatian's face.

"Okay, our family likes young people like you, Shen Lian. When things here are settled, you can go with our family to Shenjing to meet His Majesty."

Shen Lian knelt down neatly towards Yu Huatian and said, "Thank you so much, father-in-law for cultivating me!"

"Good good!"

Yu Huatian helped Shen Lian up with his own hands and then patted his shoulder.

"Follow our family, you won't be disappointed."

With Shen Lian helping you, what can you, Cao Zhengchun, do to fight with our family?
Even one day in the future, it’s not like I can’t think about the position of the tall Diao Yan!
The two chatted for a few more words, and Yuhuatian admired Shen Lian more and more. At the same time, in order to win over Shen Lian, he also revealed his purpose.

In addition to monitoring the local implementation of the imperial government's policies, he also had the responsibility of monitoring local governments and censors during his trip.

Obviously, the parents and censors of Haochang City have done a good job, but now they only have to close the net.

Three days later.

Cargo ships loaded with grain followed the Yangjiang River eastward along the tributaries of the Jianing River and finally stopped outside Haochang City.Immediately, in the eyes of the people all over the city and countless refugees, carts of food were transported into Haochang City without any concealment.

As a result, the grain merchants who were hoarding food and preparing to raise food prices again were completely desperate.

They completely did not expect that the government would buy a large amount of grain from Kaide Mansion, the uppermost reaches of the Jianing River, and transport so much grain to Haochang City by waterway.

And they didn't even notice the slightest news beforehand.

What the imperial court did was not leaving any way for them to survive. It was blatantly trying to kill them!

However, before they could come up with a countermeasure, the grain stores controlled by the government began to sell grain at reduced prices, and the price reduction was far beyond their imagination.

Since the onset of the severe drought, the price of grain in the city was at its highest, selling for more than [-] yuan per bucket of rice, which made the people sigh at the sight of rice. Now the government grain stores have announced in a high-profile manner that the price of grain purchased from them is only three times the previous price. , that is, a bucket of rice costs forty cents, and the highest price will not exceed fifty cents!
There is a twenty-fold difference between the eight hundred and forty coins!
Therefore, when they learned the news, the common people almost trampled down the threshold of the government-run grain stores, and the grain stores run by wealthy merchants headed by the Zhang family and the Li family instantly became uninterested.

Even late at night, some people took advantage of the darkness to throw buckets of feces on the doors of these grain stores. The main one was a disgusting person.

This also shows the resentment of the people towards these wealthy businessmen who are hoarding money.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, these wealthy businessmen were so worried that they could neither eat nor sleep, and finally decided to fight to the death.

Anyway, those government-run grain stores did not limit the purchase quota, so they just gritted their teeth and ate all the grain from the government.

When the government runs out of grain reserves and loses its stamina, will they still have the final say on the grain price?

At that time, the money you spend on buying food now can be earned back several times or dozens of times!

As a result, these wealthy merchants spent most of their working capital and, within a few days, ate the grain on the market at prices several times higher than the government price.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, cargo ships with extremely deep drafts appeared again in people's sight.

The government-run grain stores that had just been wiped out by wealthy businessmen were once again filled with grain. Moreover, this time, the price of grain sold by the government dropped again. A bucket of rice was only [-] cents, which was lower than the previous few days. Half done!
This time, the wealthy businessmen did not dare to make another acquisition.

No one knows whether the government will transfer another batch of food to the city after they finish eating this wave of food.

What's more, their liquidity is not enough to eat all the food.

In this case, we can only stop the loss in time.

As a result, these wealthy businessmen began a tearful sale, selling the grain they had previously purchased and hoarded at high prices at a price lower than that of the government, in order to recover some losses.

This time, it was not only the people who benefited, but the government also took the opportunity to eat a large amount of food at extremely low prices.

As a result, the empty treasury was once again filled with food.

The common people and the government took advantage, but the hoarding wealthy businessmen headed by the Zhang family and the Li family felt like crying without tears when they saw that their wealth had shrunk by more than half.

However, what these wealthy businessmen did not expect was that this matter was not over yet.

Before the food turmoil subsided, local officials and the patrolling censor came to visit each house together with fierce-looking soldiers.

A stubborn businessman prepared to fight to the death and captured the patrolling censor as a hostage to bargain with the government.

Unexpectedly, a cold light flashed through the crowd, and the businessman and several thugs were beheaded.

Yu Huatian, who was dressed in a brocade robe, led Shen Lian to finally show up.

"Not only do they hoard and buy and sell, but they also dare to kidnap the imperial censor and confront the imperial court. How brave they are!" Yu Huatian shook his sword, and a cloud of blood mist exploded from the sword. "In our eyes, such a madman , It’s really not a pity to die!”

As he spoke, he took out a token from his arms and showed it to the patrolling censor who was still calm.

"Our Yuhuatian has shocked you, Mr. Liu."

"It doesn't matter, some young people, Zhengze hasn't taken it into consideration yet." Liu Rengui waved his hand.

This arrangement for the wealthy businessmen in the city was made by him.

However, he became wary of the young eunuch who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Judging from the token, there is no doubt that it is His Majesty's handwriting, and it should not be a fake.

It’s just that your majesty’s use of eunuchs in this way is harmful to the world...

No matter how handsome Yuhuatian is, he is still a eunuch. For these ministers, it is natural for them to oppose and be hostile to eunuchs.

The lessons learned from the eunuchs’ monopoly in the former Han Dynasty only lasted for more than 200 years!

Liu Rengui was a smart man, and he carefully hid his hostility towards Yu Huatian, so that Yu Huatian, a ninth-grade master, did not notice it at all.

The houses of wealthy merchants such as the Zhang family and the Li family who were hoarding money were confiscated, and the turmoil in Haochang City finally subsided for the time being.

Liu Rengui and Yuhuatian wrote memorials about what happened in Haochang City in their own names, and then sent them back to the capital.

Finally, these two memorials appeared on Zhao Yu's desk.

"Both of them lived up to my expectations and did a good job."

After reading the memorial, Zhao Yu was extremely satisfied with the performance of the two men.

Unexpectedly, after Cao Zhengchun discovered Lu Bing in Qiyang Mansion, Shen Lian was also found by Yuhuatian.

The two most famous Jinyiwei leaders in history were divided between the two factory supervisors.

Zhao Yu had to sigh, fate is really a wonderful thing.

Pushing the two memorials to Lu Anshi, the owner of Yitian Tower, Zhao Yu asked lightly: "Mr. Lu, what do you think of this matter?"

Lu Anshi did not dare to underestimate the young emperor in front of him. After looking at it carefully, he said respectfully:

"Reply to Your Majesty, there are only four words for common people. It is your own fault."

"Mr. Lu is right, these people are bringing their own fault and seeking death." Zhao Yu made no secret of his disgust for these wealthy businessmen, "I admit that businessmen are an important part of society. If businessmen carry out their business normally, no matter what No matter whether you make more or less, I won't stop you. But if you are greedy for profit and want to enrich the country, then don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu took a deep look at Lu Anshi.

"During this severe drought, Yi Tianlou extended a helping hand to Da Chu. I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Lu. Without everyone from Yi Tianlou, Liu Rengui would not have been able to complete the arrangements so quickly. I can agree to let Yi Tianlou Tianlou brings its business to Dachu. But there is a prerequisite, it must be legal and compliant. Mr. Lu must not forget this lesson."

When Lu Anshi heard this, he gave a big salute to Zhao Yu.

"Caomin, thank you Your Majesty!"

"I would like to say one more thing. The difference between humans and beasts is that humans can restrain their desires. The desires of businessmen are endless. I hope Mr. Lu will bring this sentence to everyone in Yitianlou. Businessmen want to re- To be among the top [-] companies, we must keep the word 'desire' in mind. Otherwise, the rise of businesses will be nothing more than an empty slogan."

If he wants to use the merchant, he must first put the tightening spell on it, and he must wear it well.

Because at any time, capital full of greed is a beast that those in power should be wary of. (End of chapter)
