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

The old man was so angry that he was forced to give up.

When these words came out, Du Jiang was stunned.

"What?"

He didn't expect that Gao Yang was really not joking.

He really wanted to renovate the government office and hold a grand event!

But this is clearly a disaster year. The people can't survive. If you still squeeze them like this, won't you kill them?

"I will do it, but Gao Yushi, even if you are the grandson of Duke Dingguo, you can't bear the consequences of such a disaster!"

Du Jiang's face was full of anger.

On the side, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang with a complicated expression. She smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gao, what do you want to do?"

"Otherwise, I can only take over Linjiang City on behalf of Mr. Gao!"

Shangguan Wan'er looked serious, with endless solemnity in her eyes.

Things are getting out of control.

She must know Gao Yang's intentions.

Hope suddenly ignited in Du Jiang's eyes, and he bowed and said, "Shangguan, please act quickly."

"Otherwise, once the people revolt, it will lead to an irreparable disaster!"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang, with doubt in her beautiful eyes, "You obviously don't like Buddha. There are many believers in Chang'an City. I have seen that they all have an incredible fanaticism in their eyes, but you don't."

"In other words, visiting temples everywhere these days is not your intention, and renovating the county government office is even more incredible. It won't take a while for you to return to Chang'an, but why do you want to renovate the county government office?"

"Carrying the infamy of a city, causing the price of grain in Linjiang City to soar, all this, Mr. Gao must tell me the truth!"

Du Jiang was also stunned.

He is not a fool, Shangguan Wan'er said this.

He also noticed something wrong.

All these behaviors are very abnormal. Even if you believe in Buddhism, it is impossible to go to the temple to burn incense and worship every day.

Renovating the county government office is even more thankless. Gao Yang will return to Chang'an City after all. No matter how rich he is, he will not do such a thankless task.

Could it be that Gao Yang really has other ideas?

Gao Yang stood outside the temple. From his sight, he could overlook the entire Linjiang City.

He said lightly, "Lord Du, do you remember what I said to you seven days ago?"

Du Jiang frowned and answered subconsciously.

"But if you want to lower the price of grain, you don't have to do everything you can to lower the price of grain?"

"But the grain price has skyrocketed, and the merchants are greedy. How can they stop if they don't reap a lot?"

Gao Yang said lightly, "Lord Du, I want to ask you a question. Even if the four major grain merchants unite, how much can they reduce the price by force?"

"Eight or eighteen? Even if the price of grain is eighty wen a bucket, how many people can afford it?"

Du Jiang was stunned, and Shangguan Wan'er was also dumbfounded.

"Unless you raise your butcher knife and kill them all, once you kill them all, all the merchants in the city will be on edge."

"And for ordinary people, whether it's 100 wen per dou, 150 wen per dou, or 200 wen per dou, it doesn't make much difference. They can't afford it anyway."

"But the price of grain in Linjiang City has skyrocketed, and the government has even ordered that the price of grain should not be less than 150 wen per dou. What will attract people to come?"

As soon as these words came out.

Buzz!

Almost instantly, Du Jiang's head was struck by thunder.

The price of grain has skyrocketed to a sky-high price, and ordinary people can't afford it, but who will it attract?

In the minds of Du Jiang and Shangguan Wan'er, almost the same word emerged.

Foreign grain merchants!

Could it be, could it be...

Du Jiang looked at Gao Yang in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

Shangguan Wan'er's heart was also filled with turbulent waves!

Even the pretty face of Lu Luo, her plump breasts kept rising and falling.

Gao Yang said with a cold face, "The four major grain merchants, Qian, Zhao, Han and Lin, greedily swept up local grain and raised the price of grain. Local small grain merchants also followed suit and hoarded grain, hoping to sell it at a sky-high price."

"Greed is human nature. All merchants in the world are greedy, but at the same time, the news of the skyrocketing grain price in Linjiang City will spread to all surrounding areas at a terrifying speed!"

"In the past few days, the number of carriages and cargo ships transporting grain at the city gate and the dock has increased every day!"

"In Linjiang City, the number of foreign grain merchants is increasing every day. Linjiang City is no longer short of grain now."

"Now the grain price of the entire Linjiang City will be a huge balloon, which looks big, but it will burst with a poke!"

"These merchants want to make a fortune in the national crisis. This time, I will make them destroy their families!"

Qin Yu's eyes showed a coldness. His voice was not loud, but Du Jiang and Shangguan Wan'er heard it very clearly.

This light tone swept through the hearts of Du Jiang and Shangguan Wan'er.

Their eyes were like seeing a ghost!

If Gao Yang said, these grain merchants would face a great disaster at that time, but Du Jiang had no pity in his heart, but only pleasure.

These merchants who made a fortune from the national disaster should all die.

"Then why does the lord want to renovate the county government and hold a dragon boat race?" Du Jiang asked puzzled.

Gao Yang did not explain this.

He just said, "County Magistrate Du will know after a while that for the people, the price of grain at fifty cents a bucket also needs silver to buy."

Du Jiang heard this, and there was rarely any contempt in his eyes.

He fell into thinking.

The price of grain at fifty cents a bucket also needs silver to buy.

These words made him understand something in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it.

Du Jiang knelt down directly, "Sir, I am guilty. Not only am I stupid, I even impeached you!"

Gao Yang said lightly, "The four major grain merchants are deeply rooted. I don't know how many of them are in the county government. That's why I won't say anything."

"The impeachment a few days ago is not worth mentioning. You don't have to take it to heart."

But Du Jiang said with sweat on his forehead, "Sir, just an hour ago, before I came to see the censor, I wrote another letter, and the wording was more intense and the tone was more excited."

Gao Yang: "..."

He looked at Du Jiang, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This Du Jiang's hand is really fast!

Won't Chang'an explode?

Shangguan Wan'er said, "I will write a letter immediately and send it to Chang'an by express horse. Mr. Gao doesn't have to worry."

Gao Yang nodded.

It's bad luck for these grain merchants to meet him!

Gao Yang looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Sir Shangguan, tonight, please fill the sandbags with soil and sand from outside the city. Remember not to leak the news. I will be very useful."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded immediately, "I will follow the order of His Majesty and transfer a troop from the garrison outside the city to cooperate with Master Gao!"

Gao Yang looked down at the entire Linjiang City, his eyes were extremely cold, "Today will be the last carnival for all the grain merchants in Linjiang City. Tomorrow, I will let them know what true despair is!"
