Chapter 367
"Sir, my Ministry of Revenue reports to the rice and grain shop opened by the rice and grain that is often closed. Ye Ping just said that to buy all rice and grain in the West Market at a fair price, the adults need to make a decision!"
As soon as Liu Quan's voice fell, a middle-aged official stood up along the side, bowed to Liu Quan and said.
"Affordable? What price?"
When Liu Quan heard the sound, he frowned and said coldly.
"Twenty coins!" the middle-aged official answered quickly, and then said, "However, now the wind and snow have arrived, and the refugees and hungry people have entered Lin'an City, the price of rice in Lin'an will definitely rise a lot in the near future. Perhaps, it can cost hundreds of dollars to make a dou of rice!"
"Hundreds of dollars! That's five times the price!"
When Liu Quan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
He knew that what the middle-aged officials said was not an exaggeration. When the wind and snow hit, the road was not smooth, and the price of rice and grain would naturally rise. Not to mention, now that the hungry people in Lin'an City have entered Lin'an City, the severe cold may cause the starving people to cause chaos. In this case, many people in Lin'an City will definitely hoard rice and grain, worried about chaos, and in this way, the price of rice will definitely rise a lot.
Five times increase, which sounds like an exaggerated amount, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration at all. Perhaps, it is more than a five-fold difference!
"In the West City, in addition to our Ministry of Revenue, who else has rice and grain shop?"
After Liu Quan was silent for a little while, he looked at the middle-aged official and said in a deep voice.
"There are also rice and grain shops opened by the royal treasury and rice and grain shops opened by the Zhao family... Our three families occupy almost 80% of the rice and grain shops in Xicheng!" After hearing the voice, the middle-aged official replied, then felt a little worried and said, "However, the Xicheng came to report that Ye Ping had killed the head of the stone lion with a sword, saying that if anyone dared to increase the price of rice and grain, then the head of the raised person, like the head of the stone lion, rolled to the ground!"
"He still dares to kill people?" Liu Quan sneered after hearing this.
Does Ye Ping dare to kill someone?
He doesn't think so!
You should know that killing people in Lin'an City, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were killed, which was not a minor charge, and it was even more serious than beating a life-time official in the Golden Palace.
More importantly, he didn't believe that Ye Ping had the courage to kill people in Lin'an City.
"Sir, just now a group of refugees came to the square in front of my Ministry of Revenue. He said that Ye Ping said that wherever there is spacious, he would open a porridge shed, set up a tent, and accommodate refugees! Sir, what should I do? Should I drive them away?"
At this time, several officials rushed in outside the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue, sweat dripping on their foreheads, and they said anxiously.
"He wants to open a porridge shed at my household department?"
When Liu Quan heard this, his face immediately appeared angry and gritted his teeth.
The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the relief of disaster victims, but now the Ministry of Revenue has done nothing, but has been taken first by Ye Ping and Puliuxiang Qunfang. If the porridge shed is opened at the entrance of the household registration department, it can be considered a slap from the Ministry of Revenue!
"Drive all the chaotic people away! The household department must not raise a tree! Also, go and tell the rice and grain shop in Xishi that no grain of rice is allowed to be sold to Ye Ping! I want to see if we don't sell him, what will he use to provide relief to the victims! Could it be that he really dares to kill people?!"
After Liu Quan was silent for a little while, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he paused word by word, and said coldly.
"Sir, this is not possible! My Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the relief of disaster victims. It is wrong to do nothing. If Ye Ping is stopped, what is that? How do people think of my Ministry of Revenue? Also, the rice and grain that often settle the warehouses are always prepared by the imperial court. It is not right for everyone to sell these rice and grains out of the market and provide relief to disaster victims. If they are hoarded again and sold at high prices, wouldn't that be a big mistake? Sir, if you make mistakes, you will be revenge them forever, and I hope you will take them back!"
But at this moment, among the many officials of the Ministry of Revenue, a middle-aged man with thin figure and three long beards strode out of the crowd and bowed and said in a deep voice.
"Hai Ruxian! What do you mean? Are you accusing me of being a corpse and eating at home? Or are you turning your elbow out and going to Ye Ping's side?"
Liu Quan's face turned cold, and he looked at the middle-aged man, and scolded him coldly.
"Adults do nothing, and they are just a corpse-like meal! My Hai Ruxian's arm is always straightforward. Whoever is the axiom is, I will rely on whoever I will never betray it! Disaster victims are ahead, and all parents live in life know that disaster relief should be the first priority! There is a god three feet above and the sky is above. I hope that the adults will not make a mistake and a lifetime of regret!"
Hai Ruxian was upright and pointed at the dome, paused word by word, and said loudly.
"Come on, give him out!"
When Liu Quan heard this, the anger in his eyes turned into substance, gritted his teeth, pointed at Hai Ruxian and said coldly.
Hai Ruxian's words "Anyone who lives with parents" are almost pointing at his nose and calling him a beast. How can he tolerate this?!
"Mr. Hai, please!"
After this sentence, soldiers from the Ministry of Revenue immediately walked out quickly, raised Hai Ruxian, and walked quickly outside the hall.
As Hai Ruxian left, there was silence in the hall, leaving only Liu Quan's breathing sound.
"Sir, what should I do? Should I sell it to him or not?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged official took a step forward and broke the silence.
"Don't you hear what I just said? I won't sell a grain of rice to him! If Ye Ping is dissatisfied, then just come and kill me! I want to see if he has the courage to kill someone!"
Liu Quan raised his head, looked at the middle-aged official with blood red eyes, paused word by word, and scolded coldly.
"Here!"
The middle-aged official trembled and hurried out to the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue.
"The general's order is passed on, no grain of rice can be sold to Ye Ping!"
Soon, he came to the clerk sent by the rice and grain shop, and said in a word.
"drive!"
The guy on the horse's back heard the sound, without saying a word, quickly turned back to the west market without saying a word.
At the same time, this scene also happened in the palace and in the Zhao family's stationed in Lin'an City!
Although the color of the fast horses is different, their speed is the same. Not only that, their orders are exactly the same: Ye Ping cannot be sold for a grain of rice!
West City.
"Sorry, Lord Ye, the rice and grain in our rice shop will not be sold anymore. Please come back! If you really want to buy it, then you will be a hundred dollars per bull!"
Soon, when the person who was sent to the news returned to Xishi, the rice and grain shop opened by the Ministry of Revenue for Changpingcang rice and grain. The owner of the rice and grain shop walked out quickly, clasped his fists and smiled at Ye Ping.
"Crazy..."
Not only him, but several rice and grain shops around him also began to close their doors.
It seemed that they had made up their minds to keep a grain of rice from Ye Ping!
