"Everyone knows how much food is in the official warehouse." Su Songyang picked up the greasy tea and took a sip, then frowned and put it down. He was from Jiangnan, and even if he came to Chang'an City and had been in more than ten years, he still couldn't get used to this kind of Hufeng tea. "The grain stored in the official warehouses in Chang'an City has long been bought by us and the people in the city."

"What are the official warehouses selling now? Is it wheat bran not available?" Someone shouted out immediately with dissatisfaction.

Because the price of official grain was cut in half, the grain merchants who had bought a large amount of official grain had lost more than half of them, and naturally they had no good mood and were also emotional when they spoke.

This is understandable. If someone took out his property and bought goods worth millions, then woke up and told that the goods were only half the value, he would go crazy when he heard it.

"The official warehouses in various parts of Guanzhong have not moved, and our people have not seen any signs of large-scale transportation of grain to Chang'an City." Su Songyang narrowed his eyes and explained, "The only possibility is military rations. Your Majesty and the court used military rations."

In addition to the official grain stored in the official warehouses in various places, the other part of the imperial court is military rations. Under normal circumstances, even if there is a major disaster in the world, military rations will not be used. Because when the people in the world have no food, at most refugees will be everywhere, but once the army has no food, it is not a matter of refugees.

"Is the court crazy?" A sound of doubt immediately sounded inside the Yashu.

If the army's food is used, the army has no food to eat, it will be the end of a mutiny. Once it is used by someone who is interested, it will not be impossible for the mutiny to turn into a huge disaster or even change the dynasty. This is especially true in this chaos at this time.

More than half of the Tang Dynasty's army were concentrated near Chang'an City. If there were problems with these armies, the entire court would be destroyed.

"Impossible?" Because the old man with long beards was full of disbelief. "Unless the court goes crazy, how could it be possible for the imperial court to use military rations?"

"If it weren't for military rations, then you can tell me where the grain sold in the official warehouse now comes from?" Su Songyang glanced at his colleagues around him with his eyes like lightning. "I have already received the news that the grain sold now is indeed transported into the city from various military camps outside the city."

Although the grain merchants were rich, they had no way to deal with the court. The news they received was provided by the aristocratic families behind them. The officials in the official warehouse might not be impressed by the grain merchants, but the temptation from the aristocratic families was still difficult for these small officials to refuse.

However, they could only inquire from the officials guarding the granary that the food was operated from the military outside the city, and the officers and soldiers of the Sixteen Guards were also transported. As for where the many military rations in the barracks came from, it was a matter of the military. They did not have the ability to find out yet.

"Have you really used military rations?" Many grain merchants with ugly faces recovered after hearing this. If they really used military rations, the matter would be easier.

"It is impossible to move too much military ration." Su Songyang, who thought he had seen through everything, explained proudly, "The court's plan should be to use military ration to defeat our resistance, and then buy the grain from us at a low price. This time, not only did he make a lot of money and also got a lot of food. This method and this courage are unreasonable."

"This is the court underestimating us." A group of grain merchants showed a proud look. The court thought that taking out military rations could defeat them, and then randomly manipulated the price and took away the wealth they had saved with difficulty. This was a mistake. Their strength was far from what they showed at this time.

"No," Su Songyang stood up to summarize. "Since the court has already found out, I don't have to be polite. Everyone can buy it based on their strength."

The strength of the grain is definitely very strong. You should know that due to the war, the grain price in Chang'an City has been maintained above a hundred citrus for many years. You can imagine how much these grain merchants have earned.

Although most of them were handed over to the aristocratic families, the grain merchants still had a lot of wealth. In addition, the aristocratic families behind them wanted to launch a counterattack with this matter, and by buying all military rations to incite military chaos or even change the world, they gave strong support to money.

Grain merchants want to buy all the grains of the government, whether they are the grains of the official warehouses or military foods. After controlling all the grains, they can control the price of grains in Chang'an City. At that time, even if a bucket of rice is sold for a permanent price, no one will worry about buying them. After all, people will starve to death if they don't eat food. At that time, even if they hold gold, silver and jewelry in their hands, they have to buy food. Because gold, silver and jewelry cannot be eaten.

The aristocratic families behind the grain merchants think more and more deeply. They want to use this opportunity to guide the mutiny, thereby severely damaging Li Shimin's dominance. If the scale of the mutiny is expanded, it is not impossible to even change the world.

With goals, with benefits, there will naturally be motivation.

After the meeting of the Yashang Store, the grain merchants once again entered the trend of buying grain. This time, the scale was even larger than before. Not only did they use all their money, but many people also mortgaged their shops, residential and commercial stores, etc. to raise money. At the same time, they also used the money supported by the family members of their respective families.

The reason why they devoted their lives and their lives was that they were convinced that as long as they could buy all the food and grass from hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around Chang'an City, everyone would have to buy food from them if they wanted to eat it, and the price would be set at their own discretion. At that time, the more food they had in their hands, the more they would earn. Faced with the unmeasurable profits, these merchants rushed into the carefully designed trap without hesitation.

"That Changling Prince has been deprived of his title and sent back to Jinyang to guard the Li family's ancestral grave." In the manor outside the city, Yan Fei, who had just transported another wave of grain, walked out of the warehouse and asked Niu Jinda, who was stationed outside, to lead his troops in to transport the grain, he came to the manor's flower hall and shouted Eleventh Lady, "This threat has been resolved, you can leave at any time."

Eleventh Lady is indeed young and beautiful, and she is extremely outstanding in her sword dance. She is a rare beautiful woman. According to Yan Fei's previous personality, since she took the initiative to surrender, she would accept it, which is not a big deal.

But the situation was different at this time. Because there were divine beasts outside the nine heavens paying attention to him, Yan Fei could only avoid related matters as much as possible.

"Thank you for your mercy." Eleventh Lady raised her pretty face after bowing sideways, and looked at Yan Fei with beautiful eyes like autumn water. "My husband's kindness is so grateful to me, and I have to repay you even if I do cows and horses."

Although he is just a very young dancer, he has followed his master to go out to the powerful family since he was a child. Eleventh Lady, who performed in Pingkangfang, saw this world very clearly. Don’t look at the prince of Changling today, what if he is attracted to another prince tomorrow?

Even if it is not a prince, any man with some power wants to take them down, how should they resist? You can't look for Yan Fei every time, right? So Eleventh Lady has long made up her mind to escape from the sea of ​​suffering and is unwilling to leave no matter what.

Yan Fei looked at Eleventh Lady carefully and finally nodded slowly, "Since that's the case, then you can stay."

"Thank you, my husband." Eleventh Lady was happy and hurriedly bowed again.

"Even if you stay, you can't stay here. I'll send you to the mansion in the city." The manor has now become a cargo yard, with a large number of troops blocking the surroundings, and endless streams of cattle, horses and carriages transporting a large amount of food away, and countless soldiers are everywhere. Yan Fei himself is not going to live here, so he will not let Eleventh Niang stay. So he wants to take Eleventh Niang to the mansion in the city.

Yan Fei did not drive an off-road vehicle again today because every time he drove it out, it attracted countless people's attention and even caused congestion. After experiencing the initial fear, the residents of Chang'an City liked to chase after it was as if they were watching the Western scenery.

The people of the Tang Dynasty in this era were extremely confident and fond of liveliness, which was completely different from those of the people who were oppressed by life and who were like ghosts and were indifferent to everything in the following dynasties.

He led the horse out of the manor and saw Niu Jinda not far away commanding the soldiers to continuously deliver truckloads of grain from the warehouse to the avenue and transport them to various military camps. Yan Fei turned over the horse and extended his hand to Eleventh Lady.

The two rode away from the manor and ran along the official road toward Chang'an City. The entire area nearby and the entire official road were blocked by many soldiers. Only the road close to Chang'an City could pass through the people. Yan Fei had the pass token obtained from the palace to pass through unimpeded.

After entering the city, Yan Fei headed towards the Xiangcheng Bo, who had been his former residence and now became his mansion. However, when he passed by Changshoufang and headed towards Huaiyuanfang, Yan Fei suddenly strangled his war horse under his crotch.

"What's wrong?" The woman in her arms was savoring Yan Fei's strong chest, and savoring the intoxication brought by the speeding. At this time, she suddenly slowed down and subconsciously asked.

Yan Fei did not respond, but hugged her and jumped up and landed on the side. At the same time, dozens of archers with bows and arrows appeared on the walls on both sides, and a series of dense rain of arrows were shot out. A ox cart across the road was also lifted off the tarpaulin on the car, revealing an eight-ox crossbow with three giant arrows!

The powerful Eight-Nuo Crossbow was used as a sniper rifle, and shot out from dozens of steps away and pierced into Yan Feiqi's war horse. The huge impact force even directly carried the war horse weighing hundreds of kilograms backwards.

That's not all. There was a clattering sound of drawing knives in several small shops selling herbal tea cakes on both sides of the road. Dozens of knife hands in various costumes rushed out and rushed towards Yan Fei.

Eleventh Lady was so scared that she screamed, holding Yan Fei's waist tightly, buried her head in his arms and didn't dare to move. Yan Fei was also unambiguous, and while quickly retreating, he took out the Bereta pistol and shot the archer on the wall.

Yan Fei's shooting skills are extremely accurate. He often goes to Africa to shoot when he has free time. After so many bullets are fed, he is already a sharpshooter.

Yan Fei killed a string of archers on the wall on one side, but unfortunately Yan Fei's bullets were all gone.

Yan Fei usually only carried a pistol with him, and most of the other weapons were placed on off-road vehicles. This time, he was hit by a sudden attack and even had no spare magazines.

He was holding a woman who was so burdened that she could only cry and scream, and there were no suitable weapons around him. On the high walls on both sides were dozens of archers shooting archers, and both ends of the road were blocked by ox carts equipped with eight ox crossbows. Dozens of swordsmen rushed over with fierce force.
