There were so many people in the grain shops that they followed their peers in raising prices. Some simply closed the shop door. Now... The people were even more flustered.

Since the people of Xiliang became rich because of jadeite brocade, fur and paper, the people of Xiliang, who had little cultivated land, were even less willing to work hard to cultivate. Instead, they worked hard on jadeite brocade, hunting and papermaking. Because the price of food was cheap and the supply price was stable, the people felt that the income from cultivating food was not high, and the cultivated land was abandoned over time.

But at this time, Yunjing's grain shops suddenly raised prices, and suddenly closed one after another. Grain is the top livelihood of the people. Isn't it for the sake of food and clothing that the people rush about? The rise in grain prices is like strangling the throat of the people in Xiliang. How can the people not panic?

·

It was late at night, the bright sun hall was full of lights, and the blue clouds and gauze curtains hung on both sides of the red beads by red gold and copper hooks swayed in the wind. The female emperor of Xiliang sat behind the bead curtain made of emerald beads to review the memorials. The female emperor tied her long hair on her head and wore a jade crown as a man's dress, but her eyebrows were beautiful and strong, just like the king of peony blooming in the splendid splendor.

The two ministers knelt outside the slightly shaking bead curtain and reported the chaos caused by the sudden rise in grain prices in Yunjing today with the female emperor of Xiliang. Yunpoxing coughed and stood aside with a dignified face.

When the female emperor of Xiliang got the news, she looked as expected. She put down her pen, picked up the tea cup, showed a little white wrist, looked up at the Minister of household and the chambermaid of the Ministry of household who came to report the news: "finally I'm here..."

Unfortunately, she and the officials of the imperial court noticed it a little late, and Cui Gongxing refused to admit it.

However, there is an old saying, it's called mending the sheep after they die.

The sooner we find this problem, the more we can remedy it in time. Although this hole is already big, it's better than watching it grow bigger and bigger all the time.

After Cui Gongxing was arrested in prison last month, the female emperor of Xiliang issued a series of edicts to encourage farming, but with little effect.

The female emperor of Xiliang wanted to ruthlessly clean up the shops of Cui Gongxing, but now most of the people in Xiliang live on jadeite brocade, a few rely on fur, and the shops of Cui Gongxing have the largest purchase in Xiliang.

If Cui Gongxing's shop is closed rashly, there is no such big merchant in Xiliang who can swallow the emerald brocade made by the people every day, which will cut off the livelihood of the people.

In addition, Cui Gongxing is a smart man. She has a big business... And she also invited the eight most powerful families in Xiliang to participate in it. Although the two families of the eight families have become a climate, the eyesight of the other six families can not be underestimated.

The relationship is complicated. With the help of xungui and several families in Xiliang, Cui Gongxing has become the largest vendor providing food for Xiliang. This is also the reason why the female emperor of Xiliang has not killed Cui Gongxing. Killing Cui Gongxing... I'm afraid half of the people in Xiliang have to drink the West and north wind.

In the past, the female emperor of Xiliang, who despised and despised merchants, was because Cui Gongxing could tell her about the customs of Jin and the anecdotes she encountered when traveling to other countries and going to sea. Cui Gongxing did not despise women, and there was more equality between men and women in her words, which was very popular with the female emperor of Xiliang, so... Later, even the female emperor of Xiliang did not regard Cui Gongxing as a confidant, He is also regarded as a person who can speak.

Unexpectedly, it was such a person... Who harbored evil intentions and killed Xiliang.

Sure enough, as my father said, Jin people... And Yan people are the most crafty.

It is also because in recent years, Xiliang is like other countries. It is so despised and cheap that it has never paid attention to a small businessman. Unexpectedly, this businessman can also have such great energy and weaken a country quietly.

During the days when Cui Gongxing was sent to prison, eight families kept asking for mercy. Later, she got the promise of the female emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty that she would not interfere with the shop business under Cui Gongxing's name and affect the income of the eight families. Only then did the eight families stop.

"Tomorrow, sell the grain and grass that I ordered the Minister of household to deliver from Dayan to the people at the normal market price..." the female emperor of Xiliang said and asked Yun poxing, "the general thought that if it lasted for a period of time, could the market price of grain be adjusted back?"

Yun poxing tried to hold back his cough, turned around and saluted the female emperor of Xiliang in the bead curtain, and said: "Your Majesty, I think... The urgent task should be to release Cui Fengnian. The interests of Cui Fengnian and the eight aristocratic families are intertwined. Everything is OK because it has not affected the business of the eight families during this period. Now Cui Fengnian's people raise food prices, I'm afraid it's just the beginning. If Cui Fengnian is not released, there must be another step, perhaps jadeite brocade."

The female emperor of Xiliang pursed her lips, half hung her beautiful and colorful eyes, and said with a smile: "unexpectedly, I, the once powerful general of Xiliang, would be afraid of the eight families."

"Cough, cough..." Yun poxing coughed a few times, then continued to endure, and his cheeks flushed. "I'm not afraid, but through this thing, I understand the eight families... I understand the concession of Tibetan potential. It's not as the old minister and his majesty think. Promoting Han Su has played a role and can compete with the eight aristocratic families. It's not the time."

The female emperor of Xiliang couldn't bear cloud poxing to speak to her, and motioned the eunuch who served beside him to give cloud poxing a seat and serve tea.

Yun poxing took a cup of tea and drank it. He coughed twice and then said, "for example, this time... If the eight aristocratic families were not seduced by interests and blocked the vision of man Dynasty, who knows that there are few farmland in Xiliang, people have abandoned farming and went to weave jade brocade and hunt wild things! Cough... Cough..."

The female emperor of Xiliang closed her eyes coldly.

Yun poxing coughed badly. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief to cover his lips and tore his heart and lungs more and more.

"General, sit down!" the female emperor of Xiliang was very worried about Yun poxing's body. Seeing that Yun poxing couldn't hold it, she slowly opened her mouth, "The interests of the country are not as important as their money! I think... The eight families deliberately concealed the report this time because they valued the emerald brocade's ability to bring heavy profits, and more importantly... After the emerald brocade, they can use food to plunder the silver earned from the emerald brocade into their pockets again."

For a long time, the female emperor of Xiliang opened her eyes: "if what I expected was right, there must be a lot of grain in the hands of the eight families! The eight families are waiting for the day when the grain price suddenly doubled. They will care about the life and death of Cui Gongxing."

Cui Gongxing is not a businessman with great skills, but the eight families are too greedy.
