I, the strongest poisoner, am called the living king of hell by the empress

The price of a dou should not be less than 150 wen per dou.

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Lin Lao's beard trembled, and he almost pulled off all the beard on his chin. His wrinkled old face was full of shock.

The other three grain merchants also looked at Gao Yang in astonishment.

For a moment, the whole county government was silent.

Everyone was stunned.

They even forgot to speak.

Because Gao Yang's words were completely beyond their expectations.

Du Jiang was originally prepared to see how Gao Yang would deal with this group of difficult grain merchants and get them to reduce the price by a few more wen.

As a result, Gao Yang had no intention of lowering the price. On the contrary, he directly raised the price of grain.

And in one breath, the price soared from the current 100 wen per dou, which was already unaffordable for many ordinary people, to 150 wen per dou.

Even these merchants were not allowed to sell low-priced grain!

What did Gao Yang want to do? Was he going to starve the people of Linjiang City to death?

Du Jiang was full of anger, but the four major grain merchants were here, and Gao Yang had taken over all the affairs of Linjiang City.

Even if he was dissatisfied, he could not question Gao Yang in front of the four major grain merchants.

Otherwise, it would be a serious crime of contempt for his superiors.

Shangguan Wan'er was also startled, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of confusion.

Didn't they come to Linjiang City to lower the price of grain?

And from the previous test, Gao Yang should know very clearly that this was an assessment from the empress.

It even concerns the entire Dingguo Mansion.

Gao Yang didn't think about how to lower the price of grain, so why did he raise the price of grain?

And it was such a terrifying number!

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't figure it out at all.

She had followed the empress in power for two months and had seen too many officials, some insidious, some vicious, and some upright and impartial.

But it was the first time she had seen an official like Gao Yang who didn't follow the usual path.

Old Lin was shocked, with disbelief in his eyes, "Censor Gao, I may be old and my ears are not working well. What did you just say? You want me to sell grain at a price lower than 150 wen per dou?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other three heads of the family all looked at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang tapped his fingers slowly on the table, and he smiled faintly, "Is it difficult to understand what I mean?"

"The price of 150 wen per dou, if anyone dares to sell grain at a price lower than this, and I find out, then he will lose his head!"

"Did you hear it clearly this time?"

Seeing Gao Yang's confirmation again, even if they were cunning, they couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Gao Yang summoned them here, but he didn't mean to lower the price.

On the contrary, he wanted to raise the price for them, and it was an incredible price!

A full 150 wen per dou!

Behind this terrifying number, there will be a sky-high profit.

Moreover, everyone in Linjiang City knew that most of the grain was controlled by the four families.

The price of grain soared more than doubled, rising to 100 wen per dou.

This made them suffer from infamy.

But this time, it was a hard rule of the county government that grain must be sold at a price higher than 150 wen per dou, so it was not their turn to bear the infamy!

Not only could he make a lot of money, but he didn't have to bear the infamy himself. Old Lin wanted to laugh out loud.

He had lived for most of his life, and there was such a good thing in the world?

But the more ecstatic he was, the calmer he became.

Elder Lin's cloudy old eyes burst into a gleam of light, and he couldn't help but ask, "Master Censor, will this be posted on the notice?"

As Elder Lin said this, the heads of the Qian, Han, and Zhao families all looked at Gao Yang.

Their eyes also flashed with light.

Posting the notice and announcing it to the whole city would be a done deal, otherwise Gao Yang would change his face and they would be the ones to be cheated.

Everyone present was a smart person, so how could they not be cautious?

Gao Yang looked at Elder Lin with deep eyes and nodded, "After this meal, the notice that the price of grain should not be less than 150 wen per bucket will be posted on every street in Linjiang City."

Elder Lin looked at the other three families, and they were completely settled in their hearts.

Today, a huge wealth has come to the four families. If they don't seize it well, they will be ashamed of the century-old foundation laid by their ancestors.

Next, except for Gao Yang who ate heartily, no one else touched their chopsticks during the meal.

But some flattery, in the mouths of Elder Lin and the three heads of the family, is like a torrent of water.

Soon, the four major grain merchants all said goodbye.

"Elder Lin, what is this new censor fighting for?

What is he thinking? He didn't ask us to lower the grain price, but raised the grain price to 150 Wen per bucket. Is there a problem? "

Outside the county government office.

The head of the Qian family couldn't help but say.

Old Lin snorted coldly, "I have lived half my life and have seen all kinds of situations. I have never seen grain prices soar and fall again!"

"No matter what this Gao Yushi has in mind, it has nothing to do with us. Now, we should take advantage of this great opportunity to make a fortune."

"Such a rare opportunity, as long as you seize it, the family will not worry for a hundred years, and no matter how chaotic Linjiang City is, it has nothing to do with us, because we are following the will of the county government!"

"A huge fortune is right in front of you. If you are still hesitant, you are really stupid!"

As soon as these words came out, the head of the Qian family apologized quickly, "Old Lin, calm down. It's just that I have lived half my life and have never seen such a good thing, so I am a little worried. "

"But according to what Elder Lin said, this is really a huge fortune."

"My Qian family only follows Elder Lin's lead!"

The heads of the Zhao and Han families also said, "The four major families in Linjiang City have always advanced and retreated together. Whatever Elder Lin wants to do next, we will definitely follow."

When Elder Lin heard what they said, he looked at the pedestrians on the streets of Linjiang City with a deep gaze, and his turbid old eyes burst out with endless greed.

"Take advantage of the fact that the county government's notice has not been posted yet, and quickly sweep up all the grain on the market in Linjiang City at a price of 100 coins per bucket!"

"Then wait for the grain price to skyrocket. Once the county government's notice is released, the grain price will never be only 150 coins per bucket. In troubled times, the grain price is too high, and the people can't survive. No matter how high the price of grain is, they will sell their pots and irons to buy it! "

Lin Lao's voice was chilling.

Let alone 150 wen per dou, even if the price of grain breaks through 100 wen per dou, Linjiang City will be full of starving people, and thousands and tens of thousands of people will starve to death!

Let alone 150 wen per dou, or even higher, it will only take ten days or half a month, it will be a real hell on earth.

But whether it is Lin Lao or the other three grain merchants, they all have no expression on their faces, and there is only greed in their eyes!

What does the life and death of the people have to do with them?

In such a chaotic world, for them, seizing the opportunity and making a fortune in national disasters is the kingly way!

Linjiang City, the price of grain will usher in an incredible surge!

"..."

Inside the county government.

Du Jiang looked at Gao Yang with disbelief, "Gao Yushi, are you really going to post the notice that the price of grain cannot be sold at less than 150 wen per dou all over Linjiang City? "

Du Jiang's face was full of anger. He thought Gao Yang must be crazy.

It would be fine if he said this to the four major grain merchants, but he actually posted a notice all over Linjiang City.

Once the notice is out, there will be no room for maneuver!

Even if this notice is out, the Linjiang County Government will become the target of public criticism, and the angry saliva of the people can spray them to death!

What's more, isn't their goal to lower the price of grain?

Why did Gao Yang raise the price of grain, and it was a sky-high price!

After a long while, Gao Yang slowly looked at Du Jiang, "Master Du, do as I say."

"Others are not what you should ask. "

Gao Yang's eyes were cold.

Du Jiang trembled all over, his eyes staring at Gao Yang, his heart ached, the empress had a great reputation, but why did she send such a shameless person.

Does he know what the price of grain is 150 wen a dou?

Why not eat meat porridge!

This is why not eat meat porridge!

The only word left in Du Jiang's mind, how could the children of big figures in Chang'an City, who were born with a golden key, know the suffering of ordinary people?

This is a disaster for Linjiang City, and it is also a disaster for countless people!

But Du Jiang still wants to work hard, so he is the parent official of hundreds of thousands of people in Linjiang City, and he must live up to the black hat on his head!

He asked word by word, "Sir, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"Once the notice is published, within ten days or half a month, Linjiang City will definitely be a purgatory on earth, countless people will starve to death, and even their wives and children will be separated, and it is not impossible to exchange their children for food! "

Du Jiang gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee, "I have been over 36 years old since I was born. I am proud and have never asked anyone for help. But today, I beg you to take back your order. The price of grain has reached 150 coins per bucket. Except for merchants, ordinary people can't afford it!"

Gao Yang looked at Du Jiang, his eyes did not fluctuate at all.

He knew that Du Jiang was a parent official who was dedicated to the people. After returning to Beijing this time, he would also report to promote Du Jiang.

But if Linjiang City wants to lower the price of grain, it must do as he says.

The county government has ears behind the walls. Before he is absolutely sure, he must not say his intentions!

He can only remind Du Jiang, "Master Du, if you want to lower the price of grain, don't

We must try our best to keep food prices down. It should be noted that the more powerful the spring suppresses, the more terrifying the rebound will be! "

"After seven days, everything will be fine!"

"This young master will not joke with his life."

After saying that, Gao Yang walked straight away from the county government office.

After eating and drinking, he still had business to attend to.

Today in Daqian, Linjiang City is not the only city that has been hit by heavy rains. The entire 16th city of Guangyang County has suffered a major disaster.

However, the disaster in Linjiang City was the most severe.

If one move affects the whole body, countless people are destined to be displaced.

Reducing food prices is only one of them.

The most important thing now is to allow people to survive the disaster and even make money!

What should he do?

Gao Yang stood at the door of the inner courtyard of the government office, looked out, and fell into thinking.

Behind him, Du Jiang was so angry that he was shaking all over.

It's hard for him to understand!

He, Du Jiang, has been in power for twelve years and has seen many methods, but he has never heard of methods that can lower food prices by raising food prices!

This is an arrogant lunatic who doesn't understand anything.

He will definitely pay a heavy price!

Before Du Jiang could recover, he heard Gao Yang's voice.

"Master Du, please show me around. I see that this government office has been in disrepair for a long time. When the price of food drops in a few days, it can be renovated."

When Du Jiang heard this, his eyes changed drastically.

The people can no longer survive, so Gaoyang actually wants to renovate the government office?

How is this different from common people?

But before he could speak, Gao Yang took Luluo and walked out of the government office first.

"Sir Shangguan, do you really want to sit back and watch the people of Linjiang City live in poverty?" Du Jiang placed his last hope on Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er is a popular person around the empress. As long as Shangguan Wan'er takes action, all this can be stopped!

Shangguan Wan'er stared at the direction Gao Yang was leaving, with confusion appearing on her beautiful face.

If it were anyone else, she, Shangguan Wan'er, would definitely stop him.

But this person happened to be Gao Yang, and his monkey game in the Jinluan Palace started completely out of step with common sense.

Is Gao Yang a dandy?

Judging from the past, Gaoyang, the grandson of Duke Dingguo, was not only a playboy, but also a complete bastard.

But he didn't act like a fool.

He should be very aware of the embarrassing situation facing Duke Dingguo.

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful face flashed with determination, "Her Majesty the Empress has ordered that all affairs in Linjiang City be handed over to Master Gao!"

"But if the situation is urgent and out of control, I will take action to stop it!"

After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er also strode away.

After Du Jiang heard these words, he said sadly, "I'm afraid it will be too late by then!"

"Your Majesty must be informed of this matter as quickly as possible. If he continues to act like this, the hundreds of thousands of people in Linjiang City will be doomed!"

Du Jiang's eyes were firm and he shouted outside, "Take my pen and ink, and I will report it all night long. I will impeach this officer as soon as possible in eight hundred miles!"
