Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

Li Shimin was silent for a long time after hearing Li Wenbin's words: "Wenbin, do you know why the former Sui Yang Emperor lost his country?"
"Of course I know, it's because of Emperor Yangdi that he wanted to eliminate the power of the clan, but he acted so hastily that he caused chaos in the world."
"So, I don't want you to follow in Yang Guang's footsteps, understand?"
"Father, don't worry. My son won't be like Emperor Yang of Sui, who will toss together with the common people and the powerful."
"It's good that you understand, I'll be waiting for your good news."
After bidding farewell to Li Shimin, Li Wenbin went to find Cheng Yaojin again. When he arrived at Cheng's mansion, he happened to see Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others drinking and chatting here.

"Uncle Qin, didn't I tell you to drink more?"
Facing Li Wenbin's questioning, Qin Qiong had a bitter face: "You are not allowed to drink at home, so the old man hid here, and I didn't expect someone to take care of him."
"Just listen to me, King Qin is also thinking about your health."
Zhang Gongjin smiled, and snatched the wine bottle from Qin Qiong's hand: "I drank this wine for you."
"You uncles are really in good spirits. My nephew wants to share some good news next. I hope all uncles will be interested."
"What's the matter, King Qin, you can just say it straight, we old fellows will definitely help if they can help."
"I would like to ask, how much food do the uncles have in their homes?"
"Hehe, I know that you are not a good person." Cheng Yaojin laughed, "We have collected [-] shi of grain for you, and we have ordered someone to send it to the Qin Palace. Just let someone wait to receive it. ."
One stone of grain has now risen to a sky-high price of five guan, so [-] shi is [-] guan, and it is still the current price. It is not impossible to double it in two days.

The money was enough for a family to live for hundreds of years, and Cheng Yaojin didn't even bat an eyelid, he gave it away as soon as he said it, which moved Li Wenbin very much.

"Uncles, Wen Bin is here to thank you."
Cheng Yaojin and others received Li Wenbin's thanks unceremoniously: "But don't get too excited, we old guys can only help you so much. We are powerless in the struggle between you and the clan gone."
"This little nephew understands that he will never make things difficult for the uncles."
In any case, Cheng Yaojin and the others are also inextricably linked with the aristocratic family - Cheng Yaojin's wife is the daughter of the aristocratic family, and most of the other veterans are also related to the aristocratic family.

"By the way, King Qin, what's the big deal about your visit this time?"
"My nephew came here to inform a few uncles that if there is food in stock at home, it's best to sell it immediately and buy it later."
"You mean, His Majesty is going to make a move?"
Zhang Gongjin reacted immediately, but Yu Chigong figured it out last.

"It's not the father, but the little nephew who wants to take action on the price of food."
"Wen Bin, you have to think about it. What you are facing this time is not only those aristocratic families, but also those rich people in Chang'an City. Moreover, I have heard that there are even businessmen in Yangzhou Hundreds of ships want a share of the food."
"These people add up to a force that cannot be ignored. Cutting people's fortunes is like killing their parents. Be careful that these people will jump over the wall if they are in a hurry, and the rabbits will bite people if they are in a hurry."
"That's great, my nephew hopes that there will be some action, otherwise how can there be an excuse to add food to the official camp?"
Qin Qiong was stunned. At first, he thought there was something wrong with his ears: "King Qin, what did you just say? The old man heard it right, right? You want to add food to the official camp?"
"That's right, my nephew and my father have already discussed that in the future, any industry that can affect the national economy and people's livelihood must be controlled by the imperial court, and even directly take part in the management and other actions.

"In the past, there was an official grain camp, but the public's grievances were too great. Even a person as powerful as the first emperor was not sure that the people below would be of one mind with him, so only when those foolish emperors were in power, would there be such absurd things. decree."
"I don't need to say much about the fate of these stupid kings. Wen Bin, do you really want to go this way? It's too risky."
"People's grievances? It just affects the interests of those rich and powerful families. This time, my nephew wants to touch these aristocratic families and rich people, so that they can understand the power of those mud legs that they have never looked down upon." ."
Cheng Yaojin and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, but Li Wenbin was not surprised by this. It was really unrealistic for people at this time to let them understand how much power the people can have.

Yu Chigong laughed loudly: "King Qin, if you need help at that time, please send someone to call, we old fellows will definitely stand by your side."
"That's it, my nephew, thank you uncles in advance. Don't forget, you guys, hurry up and sell all the surplus grain, and you will naturally make a lot of money in a few days."
"Okay, let's do it right now. When we make money, we'll give it to you to marry a wife!"
These veterans already knew the news that Li Wenbin was about to marry Cui's daughter, so they wanted to take this opportunity to thank him.

"Let's keep this money for your uncles, just remember to buy me a drink when the time comes."
……

Originally, the price of grain in Chang'an was very stable, maintaining around five qian per bucket without much fluctuation, but now it has risen to almost [-] qian per bucket.

At this time, grain has lost its original function and has become a commodity for hype. Those aristocratic families and rich people hoarded hundreds of thousands of stone grains in their granaries, just to be able to hoard them and make a fortune.

On the other hand, those ordinary people who really need food can't buy food at all, and can only watch the price of food getting crazier day by day.

Seeing that the price of grain has increased twelve times, Li Wenbin knew that it was time to "harvest".

This morning, the people of Chang'an who wanted to leave the city found that several city gates had been put under martial law.

One post at three steps, one sentry at five steps, the guards are extremely strict, and the common people don't know what's going on——looking at this posture, those who don't know are thinking that the funeral for the Supreme Emperor is going to be held.

Waiting until noon, a group of people and horses appeared on the horizon, followed by carriages with heavy loads, stretching out for dozens of miles.

The common people were very curious, what kind of priceless treasures were loaded in so many cars, and the imperial army was actually used to escort them?
They didn't finally figure it out until a car had a problem with its axle, causing the box to topple over.

It turned out that what was packed in the box was a new grain called potatoes.
