Everything is carried out in accordance with Liu Feng's orders. Anyone who drives up the price to more than 30% will be detained. Top novel rankings
Anyone who raises more than double the amount will be killed on the spot.
The owner of the rice store, Jian Zhong, had sold out all the rice because of the low price. However, he was still questioned and someone proved that Jian Zhong had only raised the price of rice slightly to 30%, and he was an honest person.
So Jianzhong was not taken away.
But a businessman near Jianzhong suffered a disaster. This profiteer drove up the price of rice to more than double.[
At this moment, Jian Zhong was being suppressed at the door of his rice store. There were a large number of people watching nearby, and Jian Zhong also squeezed in.
"I heard that he is the famous Jingchu general, Wenpin, General Wen."
"General Wen actually led the troops himself. It seems quite serious."
People around him were talking a lot, and Jian Zhong couldn't help but look up at the general. He felt that General Wenpin was indeed as powerful as the rumors said.
"The Emperor has an order. If profiteers raise prices more than twice as much, they will be beheaded. If the family is a slave, their property will be confiscated. If someone comes, they will be beheaded."
Wenpin took a deep breath and issued the order.
"promise."
The soldier agreed, and like a wolf like a tiger, he drew out the long sword from his waist and killed the profiteer.
"Ah." The profiteer's face was full of fear, his hands were dancing, struggling endlessly, but he was powerless and was beheaded by the soldiers. A stream of blood spurted out, and then his head rolled down.
Judging from the eyes of this profiteer, he was very regretful before his death. Why did he join in driving up prices?
"Okay, the emperor is virtuous, but the profiteers are hateful."
"The emperor is virtuous."
After a moment of silence, the common people roared loudly. The common people personally felt that the instability of commodity prices made many people unstable, forcing them to spend a lot of money to buy daily necessities.
But they dare to be angry and dare not speak out, because the merchants have the resources. But now the emperor takes action, with the sword in his hand and his head on the ground.
It's really a pleasure.
When Wenpin saw the excitement among the people, he couldn't help but smile a little. It was like this. This group of profiteers was hateful, but it was just the right move to help increase the prestige of the Han Dynasty.
The common people would only say that the emperor is virtuous and the king and general are decisive.
"Retreat the troops." Immediately, Wenpin took a deep breath and ordered.
"promise."[
The soldiers agreed and immediately withdrew their troops. The rice store was sealed off, and the merchant's family and children were all taken away, crying and shouting.
Such a scene was staged not only in Wenpin, but also in the entire Xudu City.
Countless profiteers were taken away, and many had their heads laid on the ground to pay the price for what they had done. The entire Xudu city was in mourning.
The people who took to the streets knew that the emperor had intervened to suppress them, so they returned home with peace of mind.
But what Wenpin needed to do was far from over. After imprisoning the traffickers, he ordered the Cao family to start moving the goods in the shops of the profiteers, as well as their family's money and property.
Those that could be moved were moved to the Shaofu Yanguan Mi Zhu, and those that could not be moved were also sealed, waiting to be auctioned by the official uniform.
Although one or two profiteers had little property, the sum total of all of them was a huge amount of wealth. This wealth immediately entered the national treasury.
Although this was a drop in the bucket for Liu Feng, who needed to make a Modao and a Liannu, it was indeed a timely success.
However, Yang Biao and others really helped Liu Feng a big favor.
