"Master Hou, something serious has happened!" Wei Liao ran to the front panting, without taking a break, he said eagerly, "Since this morning, there has been a panic buying trend in all major grain stores in the city.

It has only been half a day now, and the price of food has doubled, and the people are full of resentment. If there is no way to stop it, there is fear of civil unrest! "

"Go, take me to see!"

Hearing this, Li Wenhao's expression turned gloomy instantly. The battle is imminent, and there must be no chaos in the city at this time: "Wei Liao, find out who is driving up the price of food. Someone must be behind this incident."

"The old minister has found some clues, but the background is relatively big and needs to be confirmed!" Wei Liao rode on a wildebeest, and spoke a little hesitantly.

Li Wenhao turned his head to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "But it's okay, you don't have to worry about anyone or any force in front of me."

"The people who snapped up food are all Dayou merchants, and it is very likely that the seven clans and eight surnames are behind the tricks!" Wei Liao gritted his teeth, and continued: "In the past few years, the price of grain in the Central Plains has skyrocketed, and there have been Dayou merchants. Merchants bought grain at high prices in Langya, which aroused the dissatisfaction of slave owners.

Later, the old King Langya arrested several Dayou merchants and killed them as an example, and the situation calmed down. Although there were still Dayou merchants who bought them privately, the scale was much smaller and would not cause market turmoil! "

"Seven clans and eight surnames, it's these bastards again!" Li Wenhao was furious, and urged his horse forward: "Do they think that the old Langya King's sword can kill people, but my Li Wenhao's sword can't kill people?"

"Master Hou, now Langya is a county of the Great You Dynasty, and you are the Lord Marquis of the Great You Dynasty. Can't these Great You merchants be killed?" Wei Liao was startled when he heard this, and chased after him.

Words are scary, if Li Wenhao massacred the merchants of Dayou Dynasty who bought grain, and the news spread back to the Central Plains, wouldn't he be scolded to death by the people of Dayou Dynasty.

"You are wrong, I am the leader of the Fire Crow Army first, the guardian of the people of Langya, and finally the Lord Marquis of the Great You Dynasty!"

Li Wenhao replied coldly, he thought very clearly, the 18 counties in Dayou Dynasty were all short of food, how could a little Langya afford it, and he was still short of food.

Besides, how can these commercial firms of seven ethnic groups and eight surnames collect grain and sell it to the common people at a low price?

He, Li Wenhao, was out of his mind, and it was impossible to sell them food!

The Royal Family Grain Store on West Street is the largest grain store in Wangcheng. It used to belong to the Langya Royal Family, but now it is a grain store under the Fire Crow Army Huaxia Commercial Bank. It is also an important target for this panic buying of grain.

When Li Wenhao and his entourage arrived, the entire street was already tightly blocked, full of human heads, noisy, and swearing.

"These damned Dayou merchants have started to rush to buy food again, aren't they afraid of being beheaded?"

"Fear of beheading, that was in the past, now our Langya has become a county of Dayou dynasty, these Dayou merchants have no scruples anymore!"

"Hey, I thought Langya Hou Renyi, we people can live a good life, but I didn't expect it to be worse than before, how can we afford such expensive food."

"Looking for death!" Listening to the people's discussions, Li Wenhao's face was so gloomy that he could drip water: "I have ordered that from today onwards, private trading of grain is prohibited. According to the household registration, each person is limited to three days of cheap rations at a time, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." !"

"Follow the order!" The soldiers under his command abruptly took the order, separated several people, and rode to the grain stores in various places in the city: "Your Majesty has ordered that from today onwards, private trading of grain is prohibited. According to the household registration, each person is limited to three Daily parity rations, those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

"Master Hou, it's Master Hou who is here!"

"Master Hou, make the decision for us, these big profiteers are too hateful!"

"Kill them, cut off all these profiteers!"

When the people heard the order, they found Li Wenhao, "Hulala," they all surrounded him at once, and the crowd was furious.

"People of Langya, I, Li Wenhao, assure you that I will never let you afford to buy food. Now go home and show your household registration certificates, line up to buy cheap food, and if you find someone cheating or buying repeatedly, you will be severely punished!" Li Wenhao Simply ride on the scale horse and shout directly to the people.

"Master Hou is benevolent and righteous!"

"With Lord Hou's words, we can rest assured!"

"Master Hou, we escaped from other places, what should we do if we don't have household registration?"

"If you don't have a household registration, you can go to the yamen of the city lord's mansion to apply for a temporary household registration!" Wei Liao stepped forward to answer some specific questions, and soon many people crowded in front of the grain store dispersed.

"Langyahou, the people of the Central Plains are waiting to be fed, you don't let us buy food, how can you bear it!"

"Yes, you are the Marquis of our Dayou Dynasty, and you should think about our Dayou people. How can you starve our Dayou people to death for these people from the Western Regions!"

"Sell grain, sell grain, if we don't sell grain, we will go to the capital city, sue the imperial court, and let His Majesty decide for us!"

Seeing the people disperse, Dayou merchants rushing to buy food rushed up and stopped Li Wenhao and his party, all of them blushing and yelling non-stop.

"Master Hou, we also buy food for the people of the Central Plains. If you do this, you won't be afraid of being notorious and cast aside by the world. Even His Majesty will not spare you!" Zhang Guchun, the treasurer of the Zhang family Wangcheng, came out as a representative.

Zhang Gulin, the treasurer of Daha City, is his younger brother, and he hates Li Wenhao to the bone for this reason, and he is the one who caused the panic buying of food this time.

"The purchase of grain at a high price is for the people of the Central Plains, what a joke, when did you care about the life and death of the people!"

Li Wenhao's tone was low, and his expression was very disdainful: "Since you said it was for the people of the Central Plains, it's fine, I will help you!

Come, collect all the food that these people snapped up, sort it out, and send it to Tuke City for the refugees from the Central Plains, just say it is a little love from the seven races and eight surnames to the common people! "

"Li Wenhao, you..." Zhang Guchun's face turned purple when he heard this.

He originally designed it. If Li Wenhao doesn't stop them, they can make a fortune and even get family awards. Once he stops them, he can spread rumors around and ruin Li Wenhao's reputation.

So no matter whether Li Wenhao stopped him or not, he was sure to win, but he didn't expect Li Wenhao to come up with such a move. He didn't get anything, and he lost a lot.

"Come here, seal up Zhang's business, and cut everyone in half!" Li Wenhao gave another order before Zhang Guchun came to his senses.

What a joke, anyone who dares to cause trouble for Li Wenhao won't die!

"Huh la la." Two soldiers stepped up and knocked Zhang Guchun to the ground.

"Li Wenhao, you can't kill me because I buy food for the people of the Central Plains!" Zhang Guchun was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, struggling and shouting desperately.

He had already made up his mind that as long as he had the righteousness to buy food for the people of the Central Plains, Li Wenhao would not dare to kill him!
