Chapter 141 Fighting with Lao Tzu, You Are Still Young
Just these two bags of grain are mixed with stones, sand, bricks, tiles and so on.

It made Li Shimin grit his teeth.

"Pour out all the food to me."

Li Shimin was really angry. He was already angry under the sun, but now seeing such a thing, it's no wonder he didn't get angry.

When the officials heard His Majesty's order, they all rushed up to do it.

Even Cheng Yaojin's soldiers took action immediately.

All the grain is mixed with stones and sand, as well as bricks and tiles, and no bag of grain is whole grain.

"I ask you, what should I do now?"

"Three pennies worth a bucket of grain is such grain, what should the common people do if they buy it?"

"Should the people be allowed to gnaw stones and cook tiles?"

"I just ask you, do you have the heart?"

Li Shimin's face was dark, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Civil and military officials, none of them said a word at this time.

They all knew that His Majesty was in a fit of anger now, and no one dared to touch his bad luck.

But Wei Zheng, Wei boldly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, these profiteers are really black-hearted. They must be severely punished and will never be tolerated."

When Wei Zheng's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin spoke directly.

"Ai Qing, how do you think the law should be severely punished?"

Wei Zheng held back for a long time, his old face flushed red.

"Your Majesty, the proceeds must be confiscated, the grain shop sealed up, and..."

Li Shimin felt a little interesting when he heard the words, so he asked.

"What else? Aiqing speaks boldly."

"Also, it is to impose a certain amount of fines, the more fines the better."

After hearing Wei Zheng's last words, Li Shimin was greatly disappointed.

This was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Fine, can a fine be useful? After confiscating the income and sealing up the grain store, will they continue to open it?"

"Even if they are punished so that they go bankrupt? It's not that the wool comes from the sheep."

"As long as you give them a chance to catch it, you will find it in the common people."

"If it goes on like this, I really can't sleep or eat well."

Li Shimin sighed deeply, and his face was covered with dark clouds.

"Su Quan, as the Governor of Jingzhao, you are the most responsible for this matter."

"Zhen, I will give you a chance to redeem your merits and tell me what solutions and plans you have."

Li Shimin gave Su Dan an encouraging look and said.

"Your Majesty, even though I, as the Governor of Jingzhao, only learned of such things when the price of food in Chang'an City rose to sky-high prices, so I have a reason to think that the officials in the court don't know about this matter. Original."

"Su Quan, you seem to be digressing. I'm asking you how to give a solution to this matter."

Li Shimin and Su Quan come and go, of course, the purpose is to go straight to the plan they agreed on in the imperial study.

After several rounds, Su Quan finally spit out.

Putting things on the topic, this Mojijin almost killed Li Shimin in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I believe that there is only one way to stabilize grain prices and put an end to unscrupulous grain merchants."

Li Shimin heard the words and immediately asked.

"There is only one way, Aiqing, tell me which way is it?"

"Your Majesty, unless His Majesty controls grain like salt and steel, such black-hearted grain merchants will never be eliminated."

After hearing Su Quan's words, Li Shimin gave him a big praise in his heart, but he responded with his mouth.

"Su Quan, the original intention of my decision to allow them to open a grain store in Chang'an City was to solve the difficulties of the common people when they were in urgent need."

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. Your Majesty, look at this rock, then look at this tile, look at this sand, then look at this brick. Your Majesty, is this something that merchants do? "

"What's more, the price is three pennies per bucket. Is this the original intention of His Majesty for the convenience of the people? Looking at the entire Chang'an City, how can the common people have three pennies? If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness to buy the locusts caught by the commoners , I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who have spare money at home."

"Your Majesty, Su Quan begs Your Majesty to withdraw the control of grain immediately, and we can no longer let the grain merchants mess around. If this continues, it will be the common people who will suffer in the end."

"In this world, who can stabilize the price of grain and ensure the quality of grain is only His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty refuses to agree to my request, I don't care if I don't want the official position of Jingzhao Mansion."

"When an official does not make decisions for the people, what kind of minister is Jingzhao Fu?"

Good guy, what Su Quan said was full of snot and tears.

It touched Li Shimin badly.

Li Shimin thought to himself, you are acting really well.

So Li Shimin personally helped Su Quan up.

"Aiqing, how could I be willing not to let you be the Governor of Jingzhao who loves the people like a son like you?"

"My dear friends, do you think I am such a fool?"

Li Shimin looked around at the civil and military officials and asked.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming."

Civil servants and military generals shouted vigorously under the sun.

Their throats are almost smoking, how long will they go on like this.

They are all looking forward to it, His Majesty will make a decision soon.

"Since that's the case, how about I temporarily control the food by the court from now on?"

"Zhen, I can guarantee to give the common people the most affordable food so that the common people can survive this calamity year safely."

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming."

Although some of the officials were not very happy, because it touched their interests.

But now they dare not refute.

Because the facts are in front of us today, these grains are simply too wicked.

What is more wicked than the three pennies and one bucket is that the stones and bricks mixed in are really shocking.

Things are under the sun, happily decided.

The four grain shops on Chang'an Avenue were surrounded by Baiqisi.

And follow the clues, and found several of their granaries in Chang'an City.

All the grain was confiscated, and the grain shop was sealed up, and the illegal gains were confiscated.

At the same time, the four shopkeepers of the grain shop were all exiled for three thousand miles, so that they could taste the taste of cheating people.

Li Shimin knew that if these grain stores were dug deeper, many people would be exposed to the sun, and there were still people whom he relied on more.

So, I accepted Cheng An's suggestion, just to give them a wake-up call.

However, the most important purpose has been achieved, which is to prevent them from reselling grain in the future.

See if the food stored in their house will go moldy.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was very happy.

You are still very young when it comes to fighting with me.

In the imperial study room of the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin personally received Su Quan again, this time specifically asking Cheng An to accompany him.
