Wu Hao's head was very useful. However, in the morning, the ship loaded with 500,000 stones of grain had already docked at the wharf ten miles away from the capital, and then secretly transported it to the warehouse outside the city.

Miao Yan himself was not busy entering the palace, but sent people to inform the major grain merchants one by one. Starting today, five thousand stones of grain must be sold every day, so those who violated the situation would be willing to do so.

In fact, grain merchants can’t do anything about it if they are not good at doing it.

Miao Yan was discovered by this early morning, and all the grain merchants found out before dawn.

The group of people was so scared that they didn't even take the initiative to make up for the missing pounds, but also took out hundreds of stones to sell.

When you want to make money, businessmen are very brave.

But when their lives are at risk, they will be pitifully timid.

Especially when he heard Miao Yan sending people to surround Zheng Fuzhang's mansion, he acted like he was raiding his home and exterminated his clan, these elegant and luxurious merchants could only tremble at home.

After hearing Miao Yan's orders, they asked them to rise from 2,000 stones to 5,000 stones, the group of merchants breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a little loss, not a life for us, it's easy to deal with.

They also found out that Zheng Fuzhang had personally lent out another 5,000 stones of grain early and transported it to various stores for sale. They were much earlier.

Since Zheng Fuzhang's life has been saved, we will have no problem.

So, everyone can put their hearts into their stomachs.

But they did not dare to cut corners for 5,000 stones of grain every day, so they transported 3,000 stones of grain from the warehouse and sold it honestly.

Sun Rui naturally did not give up on publicity.

Early in the morning, he sent out news through the yamen policemen that from now on, every large grain merchant would increase to 5,000 stones to supply, and everyone could buy food more abundantly.

The common people who received the news came to the door of the rice shop with half belief and half doubt. Seeing that the number of grains increased significantly, and even the sales windows increased by a few, they were immediately happy.

The people who returned home were full of luck and thanked Miao Yanmiao.

The people are not fools, so they naturally understand where the source of change is for these grain merchants.

conscience?

Pooh!

Their conscience is not as good as a hair of Lord Miao.

If it weren't for Lord Miao, could they do this?

Therefore, the happiness of the Imperial Palace still depends on Lord Miao. It is best that Lord Miao will always work in the Imperial Palace.

The people were happy, but the small and medium-sized grain merchants were stunned.

They had observed two days ago that the large grain merchants had secretly reduced their daily share and were preparing to make trouble for the people to increase their sales of grain.

By then, this group of small and medium-sized grain merchants will not be able to eat fat, but at least they can eat some soup, and they can earn another 20% or 30% or 30% or 50% of the remaining grain in their hands.

They never expected that Miao Yan would take a ruthless move and directly intercept Zheng Fuzhang's convoy, expose his corners and cut off his business.

Beheaded on the spot!

When they think of this bloody scene, they shuddered.

So everyone can understand why big grain merchants are so honest and increase their share obediently.

But understanding is just understanding, but the fact is that these small and medium-sized grain merchants are uncomfortable!

They don’t have much food in their hands, at most they only have one month’s inventory. Some small grain merchants only have fifteen days of inventory, but now there is not much left.

No matter how much you save, someone will be out of stock in ten days and half a month. If the price of grain surges again, they will not have food in their hands, which will be very sad.

You said you won’t sell it now, and it won’t be possible to sell it until the price of grain soars?

OK!

But who can guarantee that the price of grain will definitely soar?

Miao Heizi made another harsh move, maybe he would have to lower the price!

So in a dilemma, small and medium-sized grain merchants could only bite the bullet and continue selling first.

If you have the luck to get the price soared, it is a blessing. If not, the price of 40 cents per liter would be fine, at least it would be a big profit than before.

With this idea, these small and medium-sized grain merchants who originally planned not to sell for the time being are still selling grain on time and in quantity today.

The shops of large, medium and small grain merchants have opened, and they are selling grain, and there are more than in the previous few days, which gives the people great confidence.

Although there are still many people queuing up to buy today, after a few more days, they still saw that there were still selling in large quantities. Everyone felt at ease and naturally there would be no wave of buying.

...

At noon, inside the imperial study room.

Emperor Jing He was having a meal at the imperial desk, while Miao Yan and Liu Mingqi were having a meal at the table below.

The three of them were having a meal while talking about things.

no way.

Emperor Jinghe only has this time for them.

He had to go to the Qing Palace to handle government affairs in the morning and afternoon, and was ready to talk with the prime ministers at any time to discuss various countermeasures to deal with the locust plague.

He couldn't go to bed early at night, and he had to read the information on the alluvial plains at the junction of the Gyeonggi region, Shandong and the three provinces before going to bed.

During these five or six days, Jing Hedi felt that he had lost weight, did not eat well, and could not sleep well. Only orchid essential oil and iced milk tea could give him a little relaxation and comfort.

Oh, by the way, the palace urgently purchased a thousand bottles of orchid essential oil yesterday. The eunuch Qian Xianrui begged Princess Yu and gave him a discount of 10 get 20 free of 20 yuan.

In fact, this kind of activity of buying ten bottles and getting two bottles for trial packing has been stopped for a long time.

Now it has dropped to half. There is no discount for buying a bottle of formal packing. You can only buy two bottles and get one trial pack. If you buy ten bottles, you will get ten trial packs.

Qian Xianrui quoted the price for the palace to be a bottle of formally packed fifty taels of silver, and then formally packed it with the emperor and noble people. The trial package was used by the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, which was very happy.

However, this time, the 1,000 bottles are not only used by the emperor and nobles. A large part of them are used by the emperor as gifts to the prime ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion, the six ministers who came urgently, and other important officials.

Don't say that the effect of essential oil Spa is really phenomenal.

Even the arrogant old official, after being forced to use it once or twice, he raised his flag to surrender and lay comfortably on his side to accept the essential oils of the palace maids.

Essential oil Spa not only helps their skin be maintained, but more importantly, it will bring them relaxation and a rare rest.

This is the most important thing for the important officials who are busy with a lot of trouble.

Especially now, they want to break it into twenty-four hours a day, and their spirits are even more nervous. Without this kind of essential oil, Spa, they really can't hold on.

Back to the front of you.

"Do you know why you asked you to talk to Zheng Fuzhang today?" Jinghedi asked Liu Mingqi.

"know."

Liu Mingqi swallowed a bite of rice and said, "I am a person without an official position. Zheng Fuzhang is also a folk person, so what we both talked about does not involve the taboo of the court in oppressing the people with power.

Even if there is any news in the future, it will be my business, and it has nothing to do with the court. If you want to abandon the car and protect the coach at that time, it will be perfect."

"The child is talking nonsense!" Jing Hedi smiled, "How could I abandon you? This is just a means. Didn't Zheng Fuzhang be obedient?"

"The reason why he was obedient was that Lord Miao's quick decision and killed Wu Hao was the most important thing." Liu Mingqi said, "I didn't give Zheng Fuzhang the chance to make nonsense and quibble. His bloody head was placed in front of me. Does he have a second way?"

When Jing Hedi heard this, a hint of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but he nodded.

This is indeed a beautiful thing to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Borrowing Wu Hao's head not only scared Zheng Fuzhang, but also scared all grain merchants, which had a good soothing effect on the panic of the people in the Gyeonggi area.

Not to mention that I accidentally obtained 500,000 stones of food.

Miao Yan talked about this: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has worked so hard this time. No one of us expected that Zheng Fuzhang actually had 500,000 stones of grain in stock. Now it is a timely help!"

"If he hadn't been scared by Lord Miao, he wouldn't have lost his authority. He suddenly lost his sense of responsibility and automatically exposed this important news." Liu Mingqi himself did not take credit. "Now he has reacted, he must be so painful that his heart is bleeding!"

"Hahaha……"

Jing Hedi laughed rare.

Speaking of which, Mingqi is really his lucky star!

Five hundred thousand stones of grain are an extremely valuable resource for me now. I didn’t expect that I could get it unexpectedly under such circumstances, and it only cost ten cents per liter.

I was willing to spend the 500,000 taels of silver.

Well, yes.

This money was paid by the Emperor's Office of the Interior and used for emergency situations.

Miao Yan asked while eating, "Your Majesty, are you going to use this 500,000 stone of grain in Gyeonggi area?"

"It depends on the situation. The two lakes area should be more important." Jing Hedi's smile restrained his face and sighed: "The first batch of bran has been exchanged. It has begun to be shipped with rice and wheat to transport it to the two lakes area. It depends on how long the locusts will rage this time. If the time is shorter, it is naturally the best."

Miao Yan snorted coldly when he heard this: "I asked them to sell 2,000 stones of grain every day, but they were very active. They only had six grain merchants and ate one million kilograms of grain. They were so rich!"

His tone was gloomy, and Liu Mingqi felt a little chilling when she heard it.

Emperor Jinghe naturally also quickly instructed: "Taisheng, this matter can be done without two or three. If more people are killed, the effect will be bad and it will easily disrupt the order."

Miao Yan nodded, and he had heard it.
