Chapter 438 Luoyang Inflation

In addition to making the Sui Dynasty leaderless, Yang Guang's death also greatly stimulated the ambitions of those rebellious people. I absolutely cannot be the latest chapter of the sister-controller. Welcome to read

For example, when Wang Shichong and Yang Guang were alive, Wang Shichong's greatest ambition was to flatter Yang Guang so that he could find a bigger official for himself!

And the high-ranking official in Wang Shichong's mind would be over as the third-rank Shangshu!

However, Yang Guang was unfortunately slaughtered. In the chaotic situation, even Wang Shichong, who had never thought of becoming an emperor, could not help but become imaginative!

However, Wang Shichong was a pseudo-genocracy with a strategic and vision after all. Although he was planning to rebel in his heart, on the surface, Wang Shichong did not show it at all. Instead, he scolded his subordinates with righteous words and righteous words.

After a while, but that's all.

After pretending to scold his subordinates, Wang Shichong began to seriously think about how to deal with the conspiracy of Emperor Taizhu, Lu Chu and others, and he came to the open plan.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for King Shichong to hand over the military power, but how to protect the military power is a big problem.

The next step is how to deal with the problem of Li Mi in Wagang Village.

Since occupying Luokou Cang, the Wagang Army has seized nearly 20 million stones of food and grass and tens of thousands of armor and supplies in one fell swoop. Thanks to such a generous capture, the Wagang Village has expanded its troops one after another, with troops ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 to 30,000 to 40,000.

It expanded to more than 300,000, and finally achieved the reputation of the number one rebel at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Moreover, as a noble family, Li Mi has a good attitude towards literary and military strategies.

After Li Mi's rectification and training, Wagangzhai finally gradually transformed from an unorganized and undisciplined local bandits into a lofty ideal, strictly prohibited style, and strict discipline. The latest chapter of the formal rebels counterattacked the storm.

In fact, this is also an important difference between Li Mi and Zhai Rang, the original leader of Wagang Village.

In Zhai Rang's eyes, since we are all bandits, we have to drink a big bowl of wine and eat a large piece of meat. We just want to see the pedestrian roar and take action when it's time to take action!

No matter who it is, you must pass the one-acre and three-point land in Wagang Village. You must honestly hand over the money and grain, give it to the woman for us, and finally, you must clean your neck honestly and let us cut it.

Cut it!

Li Mi believed that we were a family of aristocratic families. Even if we were bandits, we should be an ideal, moral, cultural and disciplined bandit in the new era of the Sui Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this. Although the generals of Wagang Village were all in a state of disarray for a long time after Zhai Rang, the soldiers of Wagang Village at the bottom were not greatly affected.

!

After all, no matter who you are serving in the army, isn’t it all for asking for something to eat?

Moreover, under the principle of standardized military governance by Li Mi, the Wagang Village soldiers quickly got rid of the bad habits of the refugee era and quickly grew into a rebel soldier who could barely join forces! Although they were still a long time before becoming elite soldiers.

A long way to go, but between advancing and retreating, it has already shown a bit of militia temperament.

Thanks to relatively formal military training and the advantage of absolute numbers, Li Mi forced the army of more than 300,000 people to join the entire eastern capital Luoyang, which had been pulled together for less than three months.

During this period, Yang Tong tried to send people out of the city to deal with Li Mi, but without exception, the younger brothers under Li Mi organized the group to drive the Sui soldiers back to Luoyang City with thunder.

After being besieged by Li Mi for nearly half a year, Luoyang began to lose its morale because there was no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside. It was like a declining day and mountain.

Among them, the most intuitive manifestation is that the grain prices in Luoyang City have been rising all the way.

During the reign of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, the lowest rice price in Daxing was 130 min per stone. When it was high, it did not exceed 200 min. However, the rice price in Luoyang was slightly cheaper due to its geographical location.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, under Yang Guang's unremitting efforts, the rice price in Daxing steadily rose, and it exceeded 200 ci in a few years. By the end of the Sui Dynasty, the rice price in Luoyang City had reached more than 300 ci.

And approached the Four Hundred Wen barrier.

After Li Mi, who was in Wagang Village, led his troops to capture Luokou Cang, the rice prices in Luoyang City began to soar again.

In fact, during the reign of Emperor Wen, Yang Jian began to build granaries across the country. By the time of Yang Guang, he focused on Luoyang. In addition to the largest granary in the country, Luokou Warehouse, there were many granaries around Luoyang, even in Luoyang City.

There are also several granaries of large and small, with a total of one million stones of grain stored. It is not a problem to supply these grains to hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City for three or five years.

Therefore, even if Luokou warehouse is occupied, although it has an impact on the rice price in Luoyang, if it is handled properly, it will not change much.

At the critical moment, some aristocratic families secretly manipulated a large number of illegal vendors, taking the opportunity to raise prices and make a fortune in the national crisis, which directly led to the rice prices in Luoyang City three changes a day.

In just over three months, the rice price in Luoyang has soared by nearly two hundred times, almost doubled every day, and the rice price has risen to a maximum of 50,000 yuan per stone.

The rice prices skyrocketed every day, which directly led to large-scale inflation in the entire Luoyang city!

In the morning, a hanging Kaiyuan Tongbao may be enough to buy two kilograms of rice. By noon, you can’t even buy one kilogram of rice!

So, the people rushed to the market and threw out the copper plates in their hands, intending to buy more daily needs before the goods were higher.

The result of such blind follow-up is that the prices in Luoyang soared at a faster rate!

After all, he is too young. Although Yang Tong is smart, he has no experience in dealing with this kind of hyperinflation!

As for the left-behind ministers who assisted Yang Tong, although many of them are quite capable, these guys also have their own little plans and focus most of their attention on fighting for power and profit, and they will care about the common people.

Life or death?

Rice prices soared every day at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the people living in Luoyang City were mostly rich, but they were gradually overwhelmed. For a moment, the people in Luoyang City were full of grievances and complaints.

Under the deliberate guidance of those who are interested, the public resentment was naturally directed at the King of Yue Yang Tong, who was suspected to directly lead to the rise in rice prices, and Li Mi, a rebel in Wagang Village.

I blame Yang Tong, naturally, because I felt that this guy was incompetent. Not only could he not protect the safety of Luoyang City, but he also put the people of Luoyang in dire straits.

As for Li Mi, he naturally became a traitor who was punished by everyone.

Of course, as the lowest commoner in the Sui Dynasty, although most people in Luoyang are rich, merchants have no social status. Even if they have some public grievances, they can only stay in their stomachs. At most, they can only drink high

When they are gone, they secretly scold Yang Tong or Li Mi, or take advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention to it.

This situation lasted for nearly half a year until one day, news suddenly came out of the market, saying that the newly ascended the throne, His Majesty Yang Tong, the current "Huangtai" lord, planned to get along with the Wagangzhai Rebellion outside the city, and planned to be a member of the Wagangzhai Rebellion outside the city.

The thief leader Li Mifeng was said to be the Grand Marshal, Shangshu Ling, Duke of Wei, etc., and they were almost unprecedented high-ranking officials!

There are even rumors that Yang Tong and Li Mi have been colluding, and the rice price system in Luoyang City has soared in the past. It was these two who were working together to harm the people of Luoyang and openly rob everyone’s pockets of money!

As soon as this statement was made, the people of Luoyang, which had already accumulated a volcano, finally erupted completely!...)
