A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Several food selling points located in Bianliang City were instantly overwhelmed by the crowds.

"Don't crowd! Stand back and wait in line to buy!"

The government officials of Kaifeng Mansion could no longer withstand it. Shen An waved his hand, and a group of sergeants from the Inspection Department pounced on him like wolves and tigers.

There was a sudden scream, and then the crowd began to obey the order.

"Isn't it bad to hit someone?"

Chen Zhongheng rarely left the palace before, but since he met Shen An, he went out as often as the official Queen Linxing.

Shen An pointed at those people and said: "Most of the people who were making noise just now were young people. The young people are not going to make money at this moment, but instead come here to queue up to buy food. This is not a serious person."

Chen Zhongheng's heart tightened and he said, "Then drive him out!"

Shen An shook his head and said: "Expulsion by force will make suppressing food prices a joke and let them buy it."

"Have you finished buying it?"

"Bought?"

Shen An shook his head and said, "They may have the financial resources, but they don't dare."

"Why not?"

Chen Zhongheng felt a little worried when he saw those big men buying a big bag of grain each, carrying it and running back, and then came back after a while.

His chest was already somewhat convex, and his fair and tender skin made him look sad at the moment...

Shen An saw a big man staring at the side, so he followed his gaze and looked at Chen Zhongheng. He smiled and said, "They don't have a warehouse to stack."

Chen Zhongheng didn't know that he was being stared at by a man. He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh! I didn't think of this."

"You didn't expect it."

The food was quickly sold out, but there were more and more people at the scene.

Chen Zhongheng felt a little unsure, and he whispered: "Will something happen if this continues..."

Shen An shook his head and said, "Keep pulling!"

So the carts went back and forth, constantly bringing in grain for sale.

Chen Zhongheng's face became paler and paler. When it was almost time to go to the office, he ran back to the palace and talked about today's events.

"...Several granaries are emptying out the old grain, but there are too many. I am frightened when I see them. I always feel that something big will happen."

Zhao Zhen sighed: "If he wants to stand out, he must take risks. Young man... is always brave."

Xiao Qing went straight to the grain sales office as soon as he got off the government office. Just when Shen An was about to finish the work, several earth-colored officials beside him were muttering.

“Call it over and call it a day.”

Shen An has been standing all day and his legs are so sore.

But there were still people queuing up ahead, so Shen An pretended not to see them and asked someone to take away the copper coins.

Coins were piled high in several grain sales offices, and carriages were pulled back and forth several times.

"There's no food! There's no food in Bianliang!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and gradually there was some noise.

Xiao Qing walked to Shen An and said, "If a civil uprising is provoked, you will be the culprit."

Shen An ignored him and shouted: "Continue selling tomorrow."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "You are lying, the food in the granary is gone."

Shen An scolded: "Bullshit! The grain in the granary is enough to feed the people of Bianliang for several months. It's sold out... You think it's your rice vat!"

These words spoke directly to people's hearts, and the crowd gradually calmed down.

"Don't worry, everyone. The market price of grain is 40 cents. These old grains are sold for 30 cents. The officials have said that now is the time when there is a shortage of food. As long as the people can tide over the difficulties, this money...can afford to be lost!"

"good!"

Zhao Zhen had a good reputation, and Shen An took him out as a guarantee, which immediately settled the dispute and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Xiao Qing sneered and said: "The latest news is that the grain ship will arrive three days late. If something goes wrong in these three days, you will not regret it. In addition, most of the people who bought grain today are those people. Even if they don't buy it tomorrow, But once there are so many people in Bianliang City, what will you sell to them?"

"none of your business!"

Shen An moved his legs and said to Yao Lian who came to pick him up: "Next time, remember to bring the horse from home."

He mounted his horse and left, but Xiao Qing just sneered.

Back home, Zhuang Laoshi had already received the news, and now he transformed into a loyal servant, chattering non-stop.

"Lang Jun, once we really lose money, the official family will not be able to save it!"

"No loss."

Shen An ate in a hurry and then went out again.

He worked until late at night and then went home, then fell asleep.

Shen An was supposed to rest the next day, but he got up before dawn.

"Be careful at home today. Guoguo is not allowed to go out, not even outside the gate."

Shen An ate breakfast and took Yao Lian out.

"Where are you going?"

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he was blocked by Zhao Zhongzhen. He was accompanied by two guards, looking a bit dandy.

"Out of town!"

Zhao Zhongzhen joined in and muttered: "My father asked me to bring more guards since yesterday, otherwise I won't leave the house."

"I'm afraid those businessmen will jump over the wall in a hurry!"

Shen An and others arrived at Dongshui Gate outside the city, where an official was already waiting.

"I have met Shen Daizhao, and I have met Xiao Langjun."

"How many did you get last night?"

"More than three hundred ships."

"Did anyone notice it?"

"No, there are people from the Inspection Department watching all around."

"very good."

The conversation between Shen An and the officials made Zhao Zhongzhen confused, and later they went to Nanxun Gate.

Shen An brought Mazar with him today, and he sat in the doorway, watching the horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts coming out.

Zhao Zhongzhen asked curiously: "What are they doing?"

It was rare to see a convoy of this size in Bianliang City. Not only Zhao Zhongzhen was curious, but everyone was curious.

This curiosity spread all the way to the palace.

"Your Majesty, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The grain merchants in the city have transferred the grain out."

"not good!"

Wen Yanbo frowned and said: "These businessmen are really cunning. They bought grain for thirty cents and then sold it to the surrounding areas of Bianliang. They even made a lot of profit. This is troublesome."

Fu Bi thought more deeply and said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, the old grain is still being sold in the city today. If it doesn't stop, within three days, I am worried that last year's grain will be used. By then... not to mention the shortfall. , where to get food to fill those granaries..."

Even Han Qi expressed his dissatisfaction from the standpoint of the military: "Eat food and be a soldier. Eat food and be a soldier. If the army is short of food, it will be more terrible than a flood. When the time comes..."

When the army rebels, will the Song Dynasty still exist?

Zeng Gongliang said in embarrassment: "What we are most afraid of now is the continuous transshipment of those merchants. What should we do?"

Once moved out by them, no matter how big the granary is, they can't stop those greedy hearts.

Zhao Zhen also said with a stiff expression: "Go and intercept!"

This was a move that broke the promise, which was very stinky, but the prime ministers and assistant ministers all nodded in agreement.

When facing a crisis, no rules will be an obstacle in these people's eyes, only overthrowing them.

As for Shen An, he naturally could not escape the blame afterwards.

Wen Yanbo sighed softly, feeling that Shen An's ending had nothing to do with him, but seeing Shen Bian's descendants unlucky, he was a little sad after all.

Then Han Qi asked Ying to go forward. As soon as Zhao Zhen nodded, a servant came outside.

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for an edict to see you."

Shen An is not on duty today, so his purpose here will be obvious.

He was panicked!

Wen Yanbo secretly cursed the emperor's haste, thinking how could a young man do such a big thing!

Now we are in big trouble!
