After opening the lid of the copper tripod, there were red beef slices inside, with blood even oozing from them.
Just when everyone was looking at each other, a young man in his early twenties suddenly stood up, raised his hand towards Liu Deng and asked.
"What do you mean? Isn't it obvious what I mean? Is Jinyang City now a hunting ground for you? Are you doing this blatantly in order to plunder people's wealth and anointing? Do you really think that the knife in my hand can't kill people? ?"
As Liu Deng spoke, his eyes looked around like a chainsaw.
The whole hall suddenly became silent, and all the merchants wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.
Many people don¡¯t even dare to speak loudly when breathing, for fear that if they accidentally make a little noise, Liu Deng will notice them.
"Your Majesty, businessmen are seeking profit. We are just talking about business. We really don't understand what your Majesty means!"
What Liu Deng didn¡¯t expect was that the young man was so courageous. He actually dared to talk back to him even though he was talking about it.
"You are quite brave. Don't you know your surname?"
Liu Deng looked at the young man with a half-smile. From the accent of this guy, it seemed that he was not a native of Jinyang.
"My name is Wei Bin, a commoner. He is the shop owner of Sihai Trading Company and Jinyang branch. I dare not be praised by the king like this!"
Even now, this guy is still neither humble nor arrogant.
"How brave! But if you speak like this in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Liu Deng looked at him with a half-smile. Shunzi's hand was already on the handle of the knife. As long as Liu Deng gave the order, he would be ready to draw the knife.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
"The king is joking, today you invite us to a banquet. If the villain loses his life here, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the king?"
Although Wei Bin also felt the hair on his back for a while, at this time, he still gritted his teeth and said.
"Hahahaha, it turns out that a hero comes from a boy. I like people like you!"
Liu Deng suddenly burst out laughing, and those present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Liu Deng was simply sitting there, his aura had already enveloped the entire audience.
At this time, Wei Bin is the only one in the entire hall who dares to confront him.
Of course, the reason why Wei Bin did this was because he did have the confidence to confront Liu Deng.
The total amount of grain currently held by Sihai Company is no less than 150,000 dan.
This is their greatest confidence, although most of these grains are coarse grains, and a lot of the rice is old rice.
"But in today's age, it's good to have something to eat to save your life. How dare you talk about old rice and new rice."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty! The common people borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and give a toast to Your Majesty!"
Wei Bin also breathed a sigh of relief. In just a short time, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
"I have brought you here today, not only to treat you to a meal, but also to hope that you can give the people in this city a bite to eat!"
Liu Deng picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass of wine. After drinking it in one gulp, he said to himself.
"Then what does your Majesty think we should do?"
Lin Haishan, who was already in his early fifties, looked at each other cautiously with several local merchants in Jinyang, and then asked in a low voice.
"I will give you three days. After three days, I will see the price of rice in Jinyang City return to the price before the fire!"
Liu Deng stood up with a smile, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a wine glass in the other. He walked slowly to Lin Haishan's side and poured him a glass of wine with his own hands.
"This this¡¡"
Liu Deng¡¯s words immediately made all the merchants break into cold sweats. Are you kidding me?
In order to raise the price of food to the current price, they made large purchases to drive up prices.
They have almost destroyed all their capital. Now, if they are asked to stop and restore the price of food to what it was before the fire, what is the difference between that and killing them?
"You are all local merchants in Jinyang. You have lived in Jinyang for decades. You are all fellow villagers. You just watch them, one by one, homeless."Do you have no food or clothing? "
After Liu Deng finished speaking, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, he turned the glass over and gestured towards Lin Haishan.
The meaning is already obvious. If they don¡¯t eat after toasting, they will have to drink wine as a penalty!
Several local merchants in Jinyang were all dumbfounded, but at this time, they did not dare to confront Liu Deng like Wei Bin did.
¡°After all, their entire family is within the territory of Dai. If something happens and Liu Deng is offended, none of them will be able to live without food.
The people in Sihai Company have strong backgrounds, but these people are different!
No one in the backstage is so tough, so naturally at this time, I can¡¯t be tough.
"Your Majesty, the total amount of food we have in hand is only tens of thousands of dan. Even if we sell it all at a low price, it will probably be a drop in the bucket in this situation"
It¡¯s hard to give up money. No matter how they sell their food now at the price before the fire, this is an unacceptable thing for them!
Therefore, Lin Haishan could only bravely whisper.
Wei Bin cursed in his heart, this old guy is so damn insidious!
This is clearly diverting trouble to the east. Among the people present, only their Sihai Trading Company holds the most food in their hands.
¡°When this old guy says this now, is it obvious that he is pushing himself to the front?
"You are businessmen born and raised in Jinyang City, that's why I say this to you. As for the others, I have already said what I should say. It's up to you whether you listen or not!"
"Your Highness, are you planning to buy or sell by force?"
Before Liu Deng finished speaking, a young man with a pale face and dressed in brocade clothes stood up, looked at Liu Deng with a smile and said.
"Who are you?"
Listening to that man¡¯s shrill voice, Liu Deng couldn¡¯t help but frown, it was another damn eunuch.
"Don't you know who I am, Your Majesty? I came here today on behalf of my father-in-law. I just want to tell Your Majesty that we have plenty of food. If Your Majesty wants it, please give us real money!"
The people present suddenly became quiet again. This guy is really talented! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
