Chapter 90 Engulfing
(Second update, thanks to book friends for their rewards in 20190526232824960. I don’t write well, so I’ll give it my best and give it my best!)
In five days... The items brought by Li You from Hyundai were sold out again.
This time Li You got 300,000 yuan in money... This scholar made the money right, but because Li You's glass products are not consumables, as long as they are saturated, they will be the same as diamonds.
Diamonds are not consumables, so if you want to sell them, you must enjoy your appetite.
Next time, Li You will find something to sell...!
It’s just that Li You made money so well, but at this time Chang'an was in a crisis.
Five days ago, the grain merchants' remarks were spread, and soon these remarks became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If someone doesn't believe it, a commoner will immediately tell him that if he doesn't believe there is no food, he can go and see the place where the porridge is served. In the past, there were basically some porridge injections in Chang'an.
But now there is nothing, only two spoils.
This is the best proof, so we must start stocking up immediately now. If the food shortage comes, the price of grain will rise, and the people in Chang'an will start buying food everywhere.
The price of grain is the same every day, but grain merchants dare not sell it casually at this time, because if they sell it randomly at this time, they will be caught by the court, and it will be a disaster if they are typical.
The fluctuations in grain prices attracted the attention of the court.
Fang Xuanling immediately issued a document, saying that each person can only buy three kilograms of rations a day.
This is to prevent people from hoarding goods and to prevent food from being out of stock. But who knows that this is just such a document that directly panics the people of Chang'an again.
The grain traders immediately caught the people's panic. In fact, the grain traders also knew that Chang'an had sufficient food, and as long as they were distributed reasonably, there would be no food shortage.
But now the grain traders have grasped the people's panic and want food, and secretly told these people that if you want to buy a fixed amount, it is OK, but you have to buy it at five times the price.
Most people will buy it.
Just like masks during the epidemic, almost everyone sells masks on WeChat, but there are too many fakes. He just grasps everyone's panic mentality and makes a lot of money.
The court had no choice but to do such a thing.
And these are what Li You wanted to see, and in this way, his attack will begin.

"Shizi...!"
Li You walked into Li Mingda's room. At this time, Yizi was reading a book, lying on the bed, her legs raised up. When she heard Li You's voice, she asked without thinking: "What are the fifth brother...doing?"
"Haha..." Li You sat down at Li Mingda's bed and said, "Are you out of money?"
Li Mingda, who jumped and turned his back to Li You, looked directly at Li You in an instant.
Li You exclaimed: "How did you do it..."
"This is not important, the previous sentence is important. Fifth brother, I am really short of money. Fifth brother... You have made so much this time and you don't have to donate any more. Can you donate some to me?"
Li Mingda's pleading made Li You laugh.
"Of course, I can make money, isn't it just for you to spend. Is 10,000 chunks enough...?"
"Fifth Brother...Fifth Brother...You're the best, Fifth Brother...You're the best..." When he heard that he wanted to give ten thousand yuan, Li Mingda's little eyes lit up, and he quickly flattered him.
But at this moment, Li You smiled and said, "But you want to enter the palace..."
"Enter the palace?" Li Mingda looked at Li You suspiciously, thinking that Li You would have any bad intentions.
"Well... that's right. During this period, didn't the court say that the food was tight... We bought about 30,000 kilograms of grain, and I'm going to donate half of it. After you enter the palace, you will say that you donated half of the grain. After telling Your Majesty... your mission is completed, and when you come back, I will give you a thousand guan directly."
"It's that simple..." Li Mingda was happy.
"It's that simple..." Li You smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, I can pay you five thousand guan first..."
"Trade..." Li Mingda jumped happily from the bed.
After only one incense stick, Li Mingda left the palace from Xishi. Of course, after entering the palace, it was a set of rhetoric taught by Li You. He was worried that the people would suffer, so he took out all the money and bought some food, hoping to share it with those in Chang'an who needed food but could not afford it.
Of course, Li Shimin was moved to his heart for his daughter's behavior, and he almost hugged Li Mingda in his arms and burst into tears.
It can be said that Li Shimin treated his concubine and his legitimate son completely differently, very double standards.
Li You donated 100,000 yuan and went to the center of the earthquake. Li Shimin would not be too intimate. If his daughter did it a little, she would directly move Li Shimin to cry.
Soon, Li Shimin told the Ministry of Revenue to send the food donated by Li Mingda with care.
But you wouldn't have thought... After Li Mingda's grain entered the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue, he didn't even stay for a day and was then taken out. Someone must be happy, ah... This means that the Ministry of Revenue quickly sent the grain.
Of course it is impossible. The Ministry of Revenue does not have such speed. The departure of these grains is completely done by the left hand and the right hand.
One is put into the warehouse and the other is out of the warehouse, then nearly 10,000 kilograms of grain will become a disappearing account and will appear in the grain shops of some grain merchants. This is a very ancient method.
The name is the national crisis. The things donated by someone do not appear in the hands of those in need, but in a second-hand market. Until now, this kind of behavior has occurred.
For example, in the recycling bin of your community for donating clothes, the clothes inside are really donated to the mountains to children in need, don’t dream, they are all transported back and washed and sold to Africa or other second-hand markets.
After all, whether children in the mountain area have clothes to wear has something to do with those heartless things... They just need to get money, and they won't think about the others at all.
But this time... Li You kept a hand because Li You once heard Yan Hongxin say something that Yin Hongzhi made a name for himself... Yan Hongxin also helped do it many times.
After hearing about the grain incident, Li You began to make arrangements. Of course, there are too many uncertain factors, such as what if the grain merchants don’t want to make money from the national crisis.
Or what should I do if the people are very calm?
Fortunately, everything is under control... Until now, Li You just needs to wait. When Yin Hongzhi and Yan Hongxin take the bait, they only need to sell the grain donated by Li Mingda in the grain store that has something to do with them...!
Then, Li You will tell them easily...their hell is coming.
Moreover, this time it was not just Yin Hongzhi and Yan Hongxin, but almost all the people behind the national crisis were in trouble. It was said that the time was not coming.
Li You no longer cared about this matter at this time. He was going to start his own soap production career... This was the first career that Li You could establish in the Tang Dynasty.
