Facing a tyrant like Shangguanlin, I really don't know whether it is luck or misfortune.

Since Xu, Song, Zhao, and Qian, the four wealthy Jinling businessmen died, all major businessmen in Jinling, like sharks that have seen blood, have rushed to snatch their properties.

Tea, cloth, grain, and jade are all very profitable businesses in this era.

As long as you can grab it, it is not a lie that the business will expand a hundred times.

However, in the process of fierce competition, a businessman named Wan Sanqian suddenly appeared, and with his own power, he completely took away the properties under the names of the four businessmen.

He alone took [-]% of the business of the four businessmen.

The last [-]% was left by Wan Sanqian on purpose.

Doing business should pay attention to win-win situation.

He ate the meat, so he naturally wanted others to drink the soup.

Wansanqian will not fail to understand this truth.

A month later, Jinling's commercial landscape took on a new look, and Wan Sanqian had already controlled it.

In other words, it was controlled by the emperor behind Wansanqian.

On this day, Shangguan Lin visited in Weifu.

Wearing a purple suit and holding a folding fan, he was walking on the streets of Jinling, just like a rich man who went out for a stroll.

Looking at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street, Shangguan Lin was satisfied.

Today's Jinling can be said to be extremely prosperous, the people's life is getting better and better, and everyone's face is full of smiles.

"Master V, it's noon, can you go to the restaurant?"

When passing by a restaurant, the eunuch Wang Wen whispered behind Shangguan Lin.

Shangguanlin looked at the sun, and felt a little hungry, "Okay, let's go in and have a look." Under the leadership of Xiaoer Dian, Shangguanlin came to a private room.

Wang Wen took out a silver ingot from his bosom, put it in the small second hand, and ordered: "Serve a table of the best dishes in your restaurant, and then a pot of Xinghuabai." "Okay, sir, just wait a moment. "

(De Zhao)

The waiter took the silver and ran down with a happy face.

After a while, a table was filled with wine and dishes. "Sit down and eat together, both of you." Shangguan Lin looked at Gai Nie and Wang Wen, and smiled lightly. "No, no, no, how is this possible?" Wang Wen was flattered and quickly shied away.

Shangguan Lin raised his wine glass, looked at Gai Nie, and said with a smile, "Wang Wen won't sit down, Mr. Gai should sit down." "Drinking alone is always not beautiful."

Gai Nie bowed his hands and sat down opposite Shangguan Lin.

Afterwards, the two held up their wine glasses to drink, while Wang Wen poured wine for them.

While drinking, Shangguan Lin circulated his internal energy and listened to all directions.

Restaurants and inns are mixed with fish and dragons, and this is the place where news circulates the most.

Chapter 183 When a natural disaster strikes, the Emperor Longyan is furious (third update, please subscribe)

"Xiao Er, come here to pay the bill." Suddenly, a voice sounded from the private room next door. "Here comes the guest officer. I will charge you two dollars in total."

"How come the price of food has increased again, what's the matter with your restaurant, are you ripping off customers?"

"Don't get me wrong, sir, food and wine prices have risen recently, and the prices of our restaurant's food and beverages have also increased, please bear with me." "These profiteers, the price of food has risen seven times this month!" The guest He paid the bill and left cursing.

In the private room, Shangguan Lin heard the conversation in the next room clearly.

His complexion changed a little, and after drinking a glass of wine, he remained silent. "Wang Wen."

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Go to the city to inquire about the price of food, and see why the price of food has risen so fast recently?" "No."

After Wang Wen left, Shangguan Lin turned his head and looked out the window with a gloomy expression.

It stands to reason that food prices will not rise seven times in a month.

There must be a reason for this to happen.

About half an hour later, Wang Wen came back.

"My lord, I have inquired about it, and the prices of every grain store in the city have risen."

"At the beginning of the month, it was three yuan per bucket of rice, but now it has risen to seven yuan per bucket of rice, which has more than doubled." "Can I ask why the price has increased?"

"Back to you, all the grain merchants say that it is difficult to buy goods recently, and the purchase price of grain has also risen, so the selling price can only increase." Shangguan Lin finished drinking a glass of wine, and put the glass heavily on the table. "017 go, go back to the palace!"

Shangguan Lin realized that something was wrong, got up and went downstairs, and rushed directly to the palace.

Go back to the Imperial Study Room and see Hubu Shangshu Yan Lu waiting at the door of the Imperial Study Room. "My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." "Get up."

Shangguan Lin asked as he walked, "The price of food in Jinling City has skyrocketed recently, has Yan Aiqing heard of it?"

"Return to Your Majesty, this minister is here for this matter."

Yan Lu took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Shangguan Lin, "According to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the price of grain in Jinling has been rising since the 27th, about once every three days, and now it has reached seven cents per bucket." What caused the increase in food prices?" Shangguan Lin opened the memorial and asked casually.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the price of grain from the west is the first to increase." "If your prediction is correct, I'm afraid something happened to the west." "West?"

Shangguan Lin frowned, and said softly, "Come here." "My minister is here, please give orders from Your Majesty."

Zhang Han, the commander of the imperial army, came in from the door and bowed in salute.

"Go to the secret palace of the imperial family, check the prefectures and counties west of Tianqi, and see if any strange things have happened in the last three months." "My minister obeys the order."

Zhang Han flicked his cloak and exited the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, Shangguan Lin leaned on the dragon chair, tapped the table with his fingers (bgfe), and his thoughts were racing.

It is normal for food prices to fluctuate up and down, but it is absolutely abnormal for food prices to more than double within a month.

There are only two possibilities for this to happen.

[-]. Natural disasters.

Two, man-made disasters.

Natural disasters refer to major disasters such as droughts, floods, and locust plagues.

Every time these natural disasters occur, the grain harvest fails and the land is barren, and the grain price will naturally rise.

The man-made disaster is that someone is secretly buying a large amount of grain.

Once the supply exceeds demand, food prices will naturally skyrocket.

Whenever there is a man-made disaster, it is often someone who wants to rebel.

Otherwise, there will be no hoarding of food in large quantities.

Judging from the current situation of Apocalypse, the possibility of man-made disasters is very small.

Since Shangguan Lin ascended the throne, he has eliminated the rebel party, put an end to the rebellion of the six kings, and returned all the people to their hearts.

No guy would be so stupid as to choose to rebel at this time.

So the only remaining possibility is natural disasters.

Natural disasters in ancient times cannot be resisted by human beings.

No matter how prosperous a country is, it may be destroyed by a drought or locust plague, causing the country's economy to regress and its national strength to weaken significantly.

Shangguan Lin waited for about an hour, and hurried footsteps sounded outside the room, and Zhang Han stepped through the door. "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have checked the files of the past three months, and found no suspicious information." "No?"

Shangguan Lin raised his eyebrows and asserted, "This is impossible."

"There must be a natural disaster somewhere in the west of Tianqi, otherwise the price of food in Jinling would not have changed so much."Afterwards, a [-]-member imperial army rushed out of the imperial city and headed towards the western border of Tianqi.

In addition, three mighty eagles flew out of the palace.

With Shangguanlin's order, all the snares and sword slaves and secret agents of the royal family all over Tianqi have been activated.

The next day, the vanity hall of the imperial palace.

Shangguanlin was fishing, but today Shangguanlin did not stand on the corridor to fish, but stood on the roof of the water pavilion in the lake.

A fishing rod stretched out, and a silk thread that was hard to see with the naked eye hung down.

When fish swim in a boiling cauldron, they know that there is no day, but if birds cover their dangerous nests, how can they wait for the wind!

Fishing today, the atmosphere was a bit dull, showing Shangguan Lin's restless mood.

Food prices rose abnormally, but he didn't find out the reason immediately, which showed that his information was not well-informed enough.

The breeze is blowing and the blue waves are rippling.

Shangguan Lin has been fishing for two hours, but not a single fish has bit the hook, because there is no bait on the hook.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Shangguan Lin's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light disappeared in an instant.

Shangguan Lin swung the fishing rod in his hand, and the hook cut through the lake water.

The sharp hook pierced the mouth of a red carp and fished it out of the lake.

Jiang Taigong fishes with a straight hook, and those who wish to take the bait!

Now Shangguanlin is fishing with an empty hook, and those who don't want to take the bait! "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Fujian Province in the west."

"A major locust plague occurred in Minzhou, the fields were barren, the people were displaced, and the people were in mourning!" Zhang Han knelt at Shangguan Lin's feet and reported loudly.

"Minzhou?"

Shangguan Lin jumped off the roof and landed in front of Zhang Han.

"Why didn't the governor of Minzhou report such an important sentiment?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Wang Zhonghai, the governor of Fujian Province, was afraid of affecting his political achievements, so he secretly concealed the news of the locust plague." "He is so brave!"

Murderous aura erupted from Shangguan Lin's body, and a cold light overflowed from his eyes.

"Where are the spies in charge of investigating Fujian? Why didn't they send the news to Beijing?"

"Return to Your Majesty, according to the investigation, the members of the imperial secret cabinet in charge of Minzhou have disappeared, and I suspect that they absconded in fear of crime!" "Absconded in fear of crime?"

Shangguan Lin's murderous intent became even stronger, "So, they knew about it a long time ago, and they just kept it from me?"

"I suspect that they have secretly colluded with Wang Zhonghai, the governor of Fujian Province, or that they have benefited from Wang Zhonghai, so they secretly suppressed the news!" "Who are they?"

Shangguan Lin looked at Zhang Han with a cold face, and asked coldly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, he is under the command of Lord Xuan Jian, a peripheral member of the Dizi group." "The villain of the rivers and lakes, greedy for profit and betrayal of trust, is really unreliable!"

Shangguan Lin's tone was serious, showing his murderous intentions: "Order Xuan Jian, order him to clean up the house himself!" "Yes, my minister obeys the order!"

Zhang Han clasped his fists in reply and left in a hurry.

Shangguan Lin shook the fishing rod with his hand.

The carp unhooked and fell towards the lake, as if reborn.

However, just as the carp was about to fall into the water, a thin line that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye suddenly passed by, cutting the carp in half from the middle.

Blood sprayed, staining the lake red.

At this moment, Shangguan Lin's heart was full of killing intent.

He formed the Royal Secret Pavilion, incorporated the net and sword slaves into it, and recruited masters from the rivers and lakes to monitor the world.

Because he is a master of the rivers and lakes who is recruited by profit, his quality varies from good to bad.

Some of them are loyal and some are ulterior motives.
