"Young lady, you don't need to be too polite." Xue Yao saw that the prince was inconvenient to refuse, so he took the initiative to help the girl, and said in a gentle voice: "This little musician brother seems to have injured his ankle, let's hurry to find a medical clinic to see his injury. "

"I'm fine!" The young man stepped forward in a little embarrassment, supported his sister, and whispered something to his sister in a dialect that Xue Yao could not understand.

The singer nodded, then took out her purse from her sleeve pocket, poured out some broken silver and a bank note, looked up at the prince, and said in an official dialect with a southern dialect: "My lord, I can't repay you for saving my life." ,This bank note was a tip from a merchant last month, I hope you don't dislike it..."

The prince didn't intend to accept gifts from these buskers, so he joked: "Do you know who my father is? Don't take out any silver notes that are less than 1 taels."

Xue Yao: "..."

Forget about your father!His Royal Highness!

The sixth prince stepped forward to take the bank note, folded it, and stuffed it back into the girl's hand. He said with concern: "Be careful, those villains will come to provoke you again. You can go to another place to perform in the future."

"You guys are very kind and virtuous..." The girl saw that the three young masters were of extraordinary appearance, dressed in fine clothes, and with a capital accent. She must have a lot of background and no shortage of money. , I don’t know how to thank you for a while.

"It's just that the road is uneven, you don't have to worry about it." Seeing the sky getting dark, Xue Yao stepped forward to bid farewell to the prince: "Beware of those gangsters provoking provocations, we still have something to do, so we have to say goodbye first, and see you again if we are destined."

It was said that the singer's younger brother was about to kneel and kowtow goodbye again, but was supported by the sixth prince, who said a few words of comfort and waved goodbye.

The prince had just taken two steps when he suddenly smacked what the diva said, stopped again, and turned around to ask, "Girl, this bank note was rewarded to you by a merchant last month? Which bank ticket was it stamped?" number chapter? Can you lend me one?"

The singer quickly unfolded the banknote and handed it to the prince respectfully.

The prince nodded and took it, took a look, his phoenix eyes suddenly froze, and looked at the singer seriously: "That merchant, does he have the same capital accent as me?"

This bank note is stamped with the stamp of Yuhui Bank in Beijing!

The diva was taken aback by this handsome young man, her heart was beating so hard that she couldn't come back to her senses.

But her younger brother rushed to answer: "Engong is right, the merchant has a capital accent! The shopkeeper of the restaurant asked us to go to the private room to sing for them, saying that they are big merchants from the capital, so let us take good care of them!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the crown prince, Xue Yao and the sixth prince also understood that this singer has seen those people who drive up food prices!

The prince handed back the bank note to the singer, paused for a moment, and asked with a serious expression, "Do you still remember the merchant's face?"

The singer immediately recalled it carefully for a while, and nodded quickly: "I remember, at least the master at the head, I remember very clearly, with a long face, dark complexion, in his early fifties, maybe older, but a strong physique, Half a head taller than me, with such a long moustache, and gray hair..."

She gestured to herself.

The crown prince and the sixth prince stared at her closely, sparks were about to pop out of their eyes, and they wished to recognize the bastard who maliciously raised food prices from her description.

However, no matter how detailed the description is, the real person cannot be seen. It is just the description of an ordinary old man, and it is impossible to judge the specific identity.

The prince thought for a while and said: "Girl, you have offended the son of the county magistrate's family. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a living in the local area in the future. Why don't you follow me to the capital to work hard? I can provide you with housing and simple food, but you will have to trouble me soon." Help me identify some people, and find out if there are any Jingshang you have seen among these people."

The singer suddenly opened her eyes wide, and heard that the young man asked her to follow her to the capital, and provided her with food and lodging. Doesn't that mean... the singer blushed immediately.

The singer's younger brother replied honestly: "Grandpa, that scoundrel's father is not the magistrate of Hangzhou, but the magistrate of Shunde County. It's far away from Hangzhou. He can't bully us. At worst, we'll change to a restaurant... huh!"

Before he finished speaking, he was squeezed by his sister's arm.

The singer replied with a blushing face, "If your benefactor needs help in identifying, I will certainly die."

So, the siblings broke up with other musicians and were temporarily placed in a side courtyard by the prince.

For the matter of identifying the mastermind, half a month must be too late.

Xue Yao thought that the siblings had met those Beijing merchants, so he went to their yard that night, invited them to join the group, and sang the play together.

Although they didn't understand Xue Yao's purpose for asking them to do this, but because it was benefactor's request, the siblings agreed without hesitation.

I waited patiently for two more days.

In the Hangzhou market, the price of medium grain has risen to 730 a stone.

This morning, the singer brought her younger brother to the largest grain shop. According to Xue Yao's instructions, the younger brother told the store clerk, "Bring a stone of grain and help us get on the boat."

The clerk was stunned, and waved his hands with disdain on his face: "Buy a stone of rice, what are you doing in our grain store? You can buy it at the rice shop outside? We sell it from ten stones here."

The singer's younger brother raised his chin and said, "My master knows your shopkeeper, and there is a deposit of 2 taels in your food store. You will also give us a stone at the price of 640 Wen to help send it to the ship. We are in a hurry to go to the capital. Don't worry about it." Delay things."

The clerk was taken aback, and when he heard the confidential price of "2 taels of deposit" and "640 Wen", he thought it was someone from Jingshang, so he hurriedly went to the backyard to find the shopkeeper.

"Are the two distinguished guests here to fetch grain for Mr. Zhao?" The shopkeeper heard that the siblings spoke with a local accent, so he was puzzled and asked, "Have all the grain boats in Beijing arrived? It can be shipped to the masters!"

"What kind of grain boat?" Diva's younger brother raised his head and said, "Master told me and my sister to go to the capital to find him as soon as possible. Let's buy some grain and rice to eat on the way. A stone is enough!"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and smiled politely: "You two are going to the capital to find Mr. Zhao?"

The singer's younger brother said: "That's right, last month, we sang to Master Zhao, and the master was full of praise. It was originally agreed that we would come to pick us up at the end of this month, but now we can't come. Master Zhao wrote us a letter Let’s go to the capital to find him.”

The shopkeeper's heart tightened, and he asked casually, "Why can't the master come?"

"Hey!" Diva's younger brother was a little nervous, quickly recalling Xue Yaojiao's words in his mind, swallowed, and said loudly: "Don't mention it! The master originally planned to bring a large amount of grain to Shanxi to make a fortune, but unexpectedly the court suddenly said that he would open a warehouse Disaster relief, now..."

"Ahem..." According to Xue Yao's instructions, the singer seized the opportunity to cough twice, winked, and deliberately told her brother to shut up, so as to whet the shopkeeper's appetite.

Seeing this, the younger brother immediately shrank his neck and lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Hearing that the imperial court was going to release grain for disaster relief, the shopkeeper of the grain store was stunned for a moment, then suddenly he stared, his face turned pale!

I just learned two days ago that the group of Beijing businessmen who robbed grain was to lend money to the disaster-stricken farmers in Shanxi.

Now that the imperial court is going to provide disaster relief, wouldn't the grain of those Beijing merchants be thrown into their hands?

wrong……

Jingshang only paid a deposit. If the imperial government's disaster relief made the loan business obsolete, Jingshang would definitely break the contract, and the grain was thrown into their hands, but they were the Zhejiang grain merchants!

In the past two months, in order to stockpile grain for Jingshang, the grain store has promoted many big businesses, and even searched all the grain stores in Jiangsu at sky-high prices. Now several granaries in Zhejiang are full, and they will wait for Jingshang to come back to deliver , As a result, the imperial court actually wanted to provide disaster relief!

If Jingshang repents...

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper of the food store became dizzy, almost fell to the ground, and was supported by the shop assistant.

"Are you all right, shopkeeper?" Diva asked pretendingly concerned.

"Ah...it's okay...it's okay, the business is really...too busy today, I feel a little dizzy." The shopkeeper still managed to maintain a smile, and asked the siblings: "The court... the imperial court wants to release food for disaster relief. , is this news accurate? The people of Shanxi are really blessed..."

"What a blessing! This is a major event that ruined our master's fortune!" The diva's younger brother yelled: "Oh, don't mention it, shopkeeper, hurry up and get us food and send it to the ship!"

After the matter was over, the siblings went back to the courtyard and told Xue Yao about the situation, almost repeating the situation at that time.

After reading it, Xue Yao felt [-]% sure.

Later that day, according to the plan, Xue Yao asked the eunuchs to bribe some servants of the Hangzhou government office with money, so that the group of official gentlemen went to a restaurant to drink, and deliberately spread the false news that "the imperial court is preparing to release food for disaster relief".

The guards sent by the prince come to report the inside information of the major food companies every day.

Although the shopkeeper and the bosses were all the same on the surface, the rising food price suddenly dropped by ten cents two days later!

Businessmen are a group of the most sensitive people, and practical actions will always arrive faster than accurate information.

The stores of various grain stores still maintain a superficial indifference, but gradually make concessions on prices.

Two days later, many merchants from other places got the medium grain of 660 a stone and returned home happily.

The time has come.

Xue Yao immediately begged to see the prince and told the rest of the plan.

The prince was full of praise for the serial game he set up.

At the beginning, Xue Yao deliberately spread the rumor that "grain merchants want to borrow money from disaster victims", not to drive up food prices, but to convince Zhejiang grain merchants that borrowing money from disaster victims is the reasonable reason for those Beijing merchants to crazily grab grain.

With this reasonable reason, Xue Yao started the second step of the chain-spreading rumors that "the imperial court is preparing for disaster relief" through the mouth of the government servants.

A group of Zhejiang grain merchants waiting for the final delivery is really a shock!

I thought this batch of food was going to be thrown into my hands.

In fact, their food has indeed been dropped in their hands.

But the prince couldn't find the group of Beijing merchants to confront them face to face, and it was impossible to convince the group of Zhejiang merchants that they were a group of liars.

Xue Yao took a slant and used poison to fight poison, letting the group of Zhejiang businessmen know that they had been deceived.

Although the process was all a lie, the result of those fake capital merchants not coming back to collect grain was true.

In this way, Zhejiang merchants still have time to sell the hoarded grain at a reduced price.

The prince can also purchase a sufficient amount of grain at a reasonable price.

In the end, the only one who lost money was the man behind the scenes who spent a huge deposit of 10 taels to frame the prince.

"Thank you for coming up with such a method!" The prince looked at this handsome young companion in disbelief, and praised him again and again.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to fight back." Xue Yao clasped his fists and nodded, "Please ask Your Highness to come forward in person and negotiate with the third largest grain company, asking for 620 shi of grain at a price of 20 cash. Then spread the news and let other grain companies compete to lower the price. Let us wait patiently for five days before we can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

The prince was taken aback for a moment, but soon his eyes lit up, and he understood Xue Yao's intention——

Although the plan is to collect 150 million shi of grain, if you say so much directly, the eight major grain companies in Zhejiang can sell all their stocks to him without any competitive pressure.

But if it is said that only 20 shi of grain is needed, it will be different.

The eight major grain stores that are stocked with grain must all want to sell their stock to him, and internal competition will start to lower prices.

The snipe and the clam are fighting each other, as long as they press down to a lowest price, and then buy 20 shi of grain from each of the eight major grain banks in private, they can benefit the most!

The crown prince stared at Xue Yao with a pair of phoenix eyes, and after a long while, he said softly: "Following the seventh brother all these years has really buried your talent. Would you like to follow Gu to achieve a great career in the future?"

Xue Yao was startled when he heard the words, and without even thinking about it, he lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Your Highness! The Seventh Prince is still young..."

The author has something to say:

Both the crown prince and the sixth prince wanted to poach the corner of the seven cubs.

[Sense of security for son-in-law-1-1-1]

Once the food is settled, go back and accept the seven cubs thunder and anger!
