Wu Hao¡¯s heads were very effective, but in the morning, a ship loaded with 500,000 shi of grain had already docked at a dock ten miles away from the capital, and was then secretly transported to a warehouse outside the city.
Miao Yan himself was not busy entering the palace. Instead, he sent people to notify the major grain merchants one by one that starting from today, they must sell five thousand shi of grain every day. Anyone who violates this will be punished.
In fact, grain merchants have nothing to do about it.
¡° What Miao Yan did early this morning was known to all the grain merchants before dawn.
A group of people were so frightened that they not only immediately took the initiative to make up for the missing pounds, but also sold hundreds of stones extra.
When they want to make money, businessmen are very courageous.
But when their lives are at stake, their courage is pitiful.
Especially when they heard that Miao Yan sent people to surround Zheng Fuzhang's residence, with the attitude of confiscating his family and exterminating his family, these normally graceful and elegant businessmen could only tremble at home.
After hearing Miao Yan¡¯s instructions to raise their prices from 2,000 dan to 5,000 dan, the group of businessmen breathed a sigh of relief.
It¡¯s just a small loss, not our lives, so this will be easy to handle.
At the same time, they also found out that Zheng Fuzhang had personally deposited another five thousand shi of grain and transported it to various stores to sell it. They were much earlier.
Since Zheng Fuzhang¡¯s life has been saved, then we will have no problem.
So, everyone can put their hearts in their stomachs.
But with five thousand shi of grain a day, they didn¡¯t dare to cut corners anymore, so they directly transported another 3,000 shi of grain from the warehouse and sold it honestly.
Sun Rui naturally did not give up publicity.
Early in the morning, he spread the news through the government officials and patrols, saying that from now on, each big grain merchant would increase its supply to five thousand dan, so that everyone could buy grain more comfortably.
After receiving the news, the common people came to the entrance of the rice shop with doubts. When they saw that the amount of grain had increased significantly, and there were even a few more sales windows, they suddenly became happy.
People who returned home with a full load were happy and grateful to Master Miao Yanmiao.
The common people are not fools. They naturally understand the source of change for these grain merchants.
Conscience?
Bah!
Their conscience is worse than a hair of Master Miao.
If it weren¡¯t for Mr. Miao, how could they do this?
Therefore, the happiness of the Imperial Palace still depends on Mr. Miao. It is best for Mr. Miao to stay in the Imperial Palace forever.
The common people were happy, but the small and medium-sized grain merchants were dumbfounded.
Originally, they had observed in the past two days that the big grain merchants had secretly reduced their daily quota, preparing to sell grain at a much higher price after the common people started to cause trouble.
By then, this group of small and medium-sized grain merchants will not be able to eat fat, but at least they can still eat some soup, and they can earn another 20 to 30% or 30 to 50% from the remaining grain in their hands.
They never expected that Miao Yan would be ruthless and directly intercepted Zheng Fuzhang's motorcade. While exposing his jerry-rigging, he also immediately beheaded the manager.
Behead your head on the spot!
They shuddered when they thought of such bloody scenes.
So everyone can understand why the big grain merchants are so honest and obediently increase their share.
But understanding is understanding, the fact is that they, a group of small and medium-sized grain merchants, are in trouble!
They don¡¯t have much grain in their hands, only one month¡¯s worth of stock at most. Some small grain merchants only have fifteen days¡¯ worth of stock, and now there¡¯s not much left.
No matter how much they save, some people will be out of stock in ten days and a half. If the price of food skyrockets again, they will have no food in their hands, which is very sad.
??You said you won¡¯t sell it now. Can you wait until food prices skyrocket before selling it?
OK!
But who can guarantee that food prices will skyrocket?
Miao Heizi will strike again, maybe the price will be reduced!
So in the dilemma, small and medium-sized grain merchants can only bite the bullet and continue selling first.
If you are lucky enough to see the price skyrocket, that is a blessing. If not, the price of 40 cents per liter is fine, at least you will make a lot more money than before.
With this idea in mind, these small and medium-sized grain merchants who originally planned not to sell for the time being are still selling today.nbsp; Five hundred thousand shi of grain is an extremely valuable resource for me now. I didn't expect that I got it unexpectedly under such circumstances, and it only cost ten cents per liter.
¡°I spent these five hundred thousand taels of silver willingly.
um, yes.
This money was provided by the emperor's Ministry of Internal Affairs and was used in emergencies.
Miao Yan was eating and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to use these five hundred thousand shi of grain in the Gyeonggi region?"
"It depends on the situation, it should be more urgent in the Two Lakes area." The smile on Emperor Jinghe's face faded and he sighed: "The first batch of bran has been exchanged and has begun to be shipped to the Two Lakes area together with rice and wheat. It depends on how long the locusts will be raging this time. It would be best if the time is shorter."
Miao Yan snorted coldly when he heard this: "I asked them to sell two thousand shi of grain every day and they were digging for it. In the end, they exchanged 1:3 for bran. They were very active. Just six grain merchants came forward and they ate a million." A kilogram of grain is so abundant!"
His tone was so gloomy that Liu Mingqi shuddered when he heard it.
Emperor Jinghe naturally also hurriedly gave instructions: "Tai Sheng, this matter can only be done one at a time and not two or three. If you kill too many people, the effect will not be good and it will easily disrupt the order."
Miao Yan nodded, as if he had listened.
As for whether he listened, neither Jing nor Emperor could guarantee.
"Do they only have so much bran, or do we only need to replace this much bran?" Liu Mingqi asked.
Emperor Jinghe sounded a little embarrassed, obviously embarrassed.
It is a bit embarrassing for an emperor to use bran mixed with rice to provide disaster relief to his people.
Seeing this, Miao Yan quickly came to the rescue: "At this stage, they don't have enough bran. The imperial court is sending transaction requests to grain merchants in the three provinces of Hebei, Jiangsu and Anhui, hoping to exchange for another two million stone bran. As soon as possible, The first batch of bran will arrive in about fifteen days.¡±
Emperor Jinghe was still an honest man. He added: "Tai Sheng and Ming Qi, you did a great job this time. With these five hundred thousand shi of grain, I don't have to think about distributing rice porridge to the people in the Gyeonggi area." , bran is also added.¡±
As mentioned before, if there was not enough food in the Gyeonggi region, Emperor Jinghe resolutely refused to add bran to the porridge, saying that this was his bottom line.
As it turns out, the situation is not good now, he has thought about adding more, but the amount is definitely not as much as in the Lianghu area, and half and half makes him feel very embarrassed.
But today Miao Yan killed someone, which directly shocked the grain merchants and made them increase the amount of grain they sell.
Liu Mingqi also squeezed out 500,000 shi of cheap food during negotiations with Zheng Fuzhang, which made Emperor Jinghe feel a lot more at ease.
Five hundred thousand dan of grain won¡¯t play a big role in normal times, but in critical moments, it can definitely save lives.
"It's a pity that I can't carry all the major grain merchants in one go." Miao Yan sighed: "If that's the case, I believe that getting two to three million dan of grain is not a luxury."
Liu Mingqi shook his head when he heard this, "Killing chickens to scare monkeys is a good strategy, but if you kill all the monkeys, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble in the future In fact, what we should look forward to most now is what Master Bai is doing in Jiangnan. Son."
Emperor Jinghe and Miao Yan both nodded and said yes.
Lord Bai is Bai Hengwang, Minister of Salt Affairs.
Emperor Jinghe wanted to issue temporary salt imports, and thoroughly investigated the attitude of excessive and indiscriminate distribution of salt imports. Bai Hengwang panicked and asked himself to go back to Jiangnan to discuss with the salt merchants so that they could come up with something in a timely manner.
