Chapter 68 Rules Are Never Obstacles
Several grain selling sites located in Bianliang City were instantly flooded by crowds.
"Don't squeeze! Get back and line up to buy!"
The yamen runners in Kaifeng Prefecture could no longer withstand. Chen An waved his hand and a group of soldiers from the inspection department rushed over like wolves and tigers.
There was a scream immediately, and then the crowd began to follow the order.
"Isn't it a bad thing to hit someone?"
Chen Zhongheng rarely left the palace before, but since he met Chen An, the frequency of leaving the palace has been as frequent as the Guan family's Linxing Queen.
Chen An pointed at those people and said, "Most of the people who were making fun of it just now were young and strong. The young and strong didn't make money at this moment, but came here to queue up to buy food. This is not a serious person."
Chen Zhongheng felt nervous and said, "Then drive it out!"
Chen An shook his head and said, "Martial expulsion will turn the suppression of food prices into a joke, so they can buy it."
"What's the purchase?"
"Has you finished buying?"
Chen An shook his head and said, "They may have the financial resources, but they dare not."
"Why don't you dare?"
Chen Zhongheng saw the big men buying a large bag of food each and then carrying it back. After a while, he came back, and was worried.
His chest was already a little raised, and his white and tender skin looked sad at this moment...
Chen An saw a big man staring at the side, and followed his gaze and actually looked at Chen Zhongheng, and smiled and said, "They don't have any warehouses to pile up."
Chen Zhongheng didn't know that he was being stared at by a man, so he slapped his thigh, "Oh! I didn't expect this."
"You didn't expect much."
The food was quickly bought and empty, but more and more people were on the scene.
Chen Zhongheng felt a little confused, and he whispered: "Will something happen if this continues..."
Chen An shook his head and said, "Continue to pull it!"
So the trucks went back and forth and kept transporting grain for sale.
Chen Zhongheng's face became paler and paler. When it was almost time to go to the yamen, he ran back to the palace and told about what happened today.
"... Several granaries are clearing the old grain, but there are too many. I am frightened when I see it, and I always feel that something big will happen."
Zhao Zhen sighed, "If he wants to stand up, he must take risks. Young man... he always has courage."
Xiao Qing went straight to the grain sales office after the yamen. Chen An was about to finish the finishing, and several officials on the side with earthy faces were muttering.
"Stop work."
Chen'an has been standing for a day, and his legs are sore.
But there was still someone queuing up ahead, so Chen An pretended not to see it and asked someone to take away the copper coins.
Several grain sales offices piled up like mountains of copper coins, and the carriages were pulled back and forth several times.
"There is no food! There is no food in Bianliang!"
Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd, and gradually became a little clamoring.
Xiao Qing walked to Chen An and said, "If it arouses civil rebellion, you will be the culprit."
Chen An ignored him and shouted, "Stay going to sell tomorrow."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "You are lying to me, and the food in the granary is gone."
Chen An cursed: "Nonsense! The grain in the granary is enough for Bianliang people to eat for several months, and it's sold out... Do you think it's your rice jar!"
These words pointed directly at the hearts of the people, and the crowd gradually calmed down.
"Don't worry, everyone, the market price of grain is forty cents, and the old grain is forty cents. The official said that now is the time when the young and old people are not allowed to take over. As long as the people can get through the difficulties, the money... can be afforded!"
"good!"
Zhao Zhen had a good reputation. Chen An took him out as a guarantee and immediately calmed down the dispute and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Xiao Qing sneered: "The latest news is that the grain ship will arrive three days later. If something goes wrong in these three days, you will be willing to die. In addition, most of the people who buy grain today are those. Even if they don't buy it tomorrow, then so many people in Bianliang City will flock to you, what will you sell it to them?"
"none of your business!"
Chen An moved his legs and said to Yao Lian who came to pick him up: "I remember to bring the stool at home next time."
He got on the horse, but Xiao Qing just sneered.
When he returned home, Zhuang Laoshi had already received the news. At this moment, he turned into a loyal servant and kept chatting.
"Mr. Langjun, if you really lose money, the official will not be able to save it!"
"I can't lose."
Chen An hurriedly ate and then went out again.
He was busy until midnight before going home, and then fell asleep.
The next day, Chen An was resting, but he got up before dawn.
"Today I am optimistic about my home. Guoguo is not allowed to go out, and it is not possible to go outside the door."
Chen Anxili had breakfast in silence, and then took Yao Lian out.
"Where are you going?"
He was blocked by Zhao Zhongzhen as soon as he left the door. He led two guards, looking a little playboy.
"Out of the city!"
Zhao Zhongzhen joined in and muttered, "My father has asked me to bring more guards since yesterday, otherwise he would not leave the door."
"I'm afraid those businessmen will be anxious to jump over the wall!"
Chen An and others arrived at the East Shuimen outside the city, and an official was already waiting.
"I have met Guan Yu, and I have met the young man."
"How much was last night?"
"More than three hundred ships."
"Did someone find it?"
"No, there are people from the inspection department around you watching."
"very good."
The conversation between Chen An and the officials made Zhao Zhongzhen confused, and they later went to Nanxunmen.
Chen An brought a horse stool today, and he sat in the doorway and watched the carriages and ox carts come out.
Zhao Zhongzhen asked curiously: "What are they doing?"
Convoys of this size of Bianliang City are rare. Not only Zhao Zhongzhen is curious, but everyone is curious.
This curiosity has been passed down to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the grain merchants in the city have transferred the grain."
"not good!"
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "These merchants are really cunning. They bought grain for thirty cents and sold it to the surrounding area of Bianliang. There is even a lot of money to make money, so there is trouble."
Fu Bi thought a little deeper and said with a worrying look: "Your Majesty, you are still selling old grains in the city today. If you keep going, within three days, I am worried that I will use the food from last year. Then... I won't talk about the deficit, where can I get the food to fill the granaries..."
Even Han Qi expressed his dissatisfaction from the military's position: "Eat food and serve as a soldier. If there is a shortage of food in the army, it will be more terrible than a flood. Then..."
If the army causes chaos, will the Song Dynasty still exist?
Zeng Gongliang said in embarrassment: "What I fear most now is the continuous transformation of those merchants. What should I do?"
Once they are transferred out, no matter how big the granary is, it cannot stop those greedy hearts.
Zhao Zhen also said stiffly: "Go and intercept!"
This is a move to destroy the promise, it is very stinky, but the prime ministers all nodded in agreement.
When facing a crisis, no rules will be an obstacle in these people's eyes, and overturning is just about it.
As for Chen An, he naturally could not escape the blame afterwards.
Wen Yanbo sighed softly, feeling that Chen An's ending had nothing to do with him, but he was a little sad after all when he saw Chen Bian's descendants being unlucky.
Then Han Qi volunteered to go, and Zhao Zhen nodded when an eunuch came outside.
"Your Majesty, I'm asking for your visit."
Chen An is not on duty today, so his intention to come here will be obvious.
He was panicked!
Wen Yanbo secretly complained about the emperor's hastyness and thought to himself how could a young man do such a big thing!
