Chapter 1240
Just as everyone was pulling Yang Dingyuan, they suddenly heard a loud shout!
"What are you doing?! What kind of style is it to pull and pull?!"
Everyone turned around and saw Li Jiuyuan strode over, his face as gloomy as water, and he was obviously extremely angry!
"gentlemen!"
Everyone saluted Li Jiuyuan one after another.
"The flood is so serious now, I don't know how many ordinary people are displaced! They are hungry and corpses are floating in a hundred miles! You scholars, who don't think about how to save the people, are still here and pulling, what kind of morality is it!"
Li Jiuyuan was in a very bad mood and scolded them!
Everyone lowered their heads, and none of them dared to say anything.
After venting his anger, Li Jiuyuan asked anxiously again: "Let you contact grain merchants, how effective is it? How many families are willing to open warehouses and release grain to provide relief to the victims?"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all looked depressed.
"What?! Isn't there any one in the family?"
Li Jiuyuan raised his tone and seemed very shocked!
"Although Mr. Lin Xulin of Jiangling County is not a grain merchant, he urgently purchased some grain and was willing to provide relief to the victims! However, Mr. Lin's grain is limited and he can only take care of some victims in Jiangling County..."
Yang Dingyuan walked up and said in a deep voice.
"Um......"
Li Jiuyuan stroked his beard and sighed with a complicated expression: "I really didn't expect that so many grain merchants in Suzhou, but none of them were willing to open a warehouse and release grain in the face of such a huge natural disaster! Mr. Lin is not a grain business. He is just a businessman from a small mountain village, but he once again donated generously after opening a warehouse to provide disaster relief last winter! In comparison, don't some people feel guilty?!"
"Look, those merchants have long been no longer ashamed and are only thinking about how to make money! This time, let alone let them open warehouses to provide disaster relief, I heard that they will join forces to hoard goods, raise food prices, and take the opportunity to make a disaster money!"
Yang Ding said angrily!
"Dingyuan, you are proficient in the name of punishment! If these merchants hoard goods and raise the price of food, are there any charges that can be cured?"
Li Jiuyuan asked.
"Our Daning Dynasty has been focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce since Emperor Gaozu. These merchants raised prices, so naturally some of them were punished for being punished!"
Yang Ding Yuan Long said, but then he changed his tone again: "But..."
“But what?”
"However, if you want to sue these businessmen on this charge, not to mention whether the Jiangsu government will accept it, even if it is accepted, it will take a long time to collect evidence alone! But the flood is so serious now. I heard that even if all the reserved grains in the province are used for disaster relief, they can only last for three days at most! People, I can't wait!"
After hearing this, Li Jiuyuan's face became even more anxious!
"Mr. Jiuyuan, I have a way. We can go to Song Chaoshan and ask him to order those grain merchants to open warehouses to provide disaster relief! Even if they are unwilling to open warehouses to provide disaster relief, they will never be allowed to raise the price of grain! In addition, Song Chaoshan can also prepare silver, purchase grain, and provide relief to the victims!"
Yang Dingyuan suggested.
