    In Liu Jin¡¯s courtyard, Liu Jin was listening to Tong Yuan¡¯s report on the situation in the capital.

    "Teacher, the price of grain here in the capital seems to be almost unstable. Some grain merchants are already quietly lowering prices. It seems that it is almost unbearable."

    Tong Yuan told Liu Jin with a smile on his face that he was paying attention to the price of food in the capital every day, and he had been spreading rumors about large-scale food purchases.

    "In the past, even if I was willing to pay a high price to purchase grain, these grain merchants were unwilling to sell it to me. Now some of them have contacted me quietly and are willing to sell me grain on a large scale at a price of one hundred Wen per catty.  It seems like they are really anxious.¡±

    "Of course they are anxious. The cost of these grains is at least more than ten cents per catty, especially the grains they eat later from the south. The prices are high and the quantities are huge, which makes their overall costs rise sharply."

    "Calculating the time, the grain transported by the imperial court from the south will arrive in the capital in about half a month. By then, as soon as this grain enters the capital, their doom will come."

    "So now, they must find a way to sell all these grains, and they are definitely not an iron plate among themselves. None of these businessmen are fools, and they will definitely compete to sell the grains in their hands.  , no one will be so foolish as to wait until the end and throw these high-priced grains into their own hands."

    When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. This war without gunpowder was finally about to be won or lost. They wanted to use food as a weapon to achieve their goals, but in the end they lost on food.

    And Liu Jin has already seen their tragic ending. Losing everything is nothing, the real loss may be his own life, or even the fate of the entire family.

    Emperor Hongzhi has still not issued an order to strictly investigate and deal with these businessmen. It is obvious that he is playing a long-term game to catch the big fish. To Emperor Hongzhi, these businessmen are just small fish and shrimps, insignificant at all. The real opponent is the imperial court.  Above those who want to limit the imperial power and control the imperial power.

    No emperor will tolerate anyone touching the imperial power, unless the emperor himself is a puppet. Obviously Emperor Hongzhi is not, and the real show will come later.

    "Teacher, what should we do now?"

    Tong Yuan is also smiling. He likes mathematics and has learned from Liu Jin knowledge and content that are not found in the Four Books and Five Classics. Now he seems to understand the power of the economy and the power of the market.

    "What do you think we should do now?"

    Liu Jin looked at Tong Yuan and asked.

    "I think at this time, we should increase the supply of marine fish to the capital."

    ¡°We have launched several fishing boats in the past few days, and together with the fishing boats that have returned from the sea, we have caught more than three million kilograms of marine fish every day. All the marine fish that we can¡¯t finish is dried and dried.¡±

    "As long as we increase the supply of marine fish to the capital by one million pounds every day, they will definitely collapse immediately."

    Tong Yuan thought for a while and replied.

    "You are really talented in economics and mathematics. You will increase the supply of marine fish in the capital from tomorrow, but don't increase it too much all at once. The supply of marine fish will increase by 200,000 kilograms a day and completely overwhelm the supply of marine fish in the capital."  Here comes the grain merchant."

    After Liu Jin heard this, he looked at Tong Yuan and couldn't help but admired that this was almost exactly what he thought.

    At this time, what Liu Jin needs to do is very simple, which is to continuously increase the supply of marine fish and slowly overwhelm the grain merchants in the capital.

    "yes!"

    When Tong Yuan heard this, he nodded quickly.

    Capital City, in a secret manor.

    Hu Wanan no longer has the free and easy attitude before, nor the elegance of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. Since the news of what happened in the court a few days ago, his good days have come to an end.

    Originally, in his imagination, the princes in the DPRK would definitely unite to launch an attack, pointing their swords at sea fish, prohibiting sea fish from entering the capital, and strictly prohibiting fishing in the sea.

    ¡°After all, the maritime ban is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the influence of the Southern Scholars on the imperial court is unparalleled. Whether they are cabinet ministers, six ministers, ministers, etc., there are many big bosses from the Southern Scholars.

    In this regard, the interests of the scholars in the south are almost the same. They oppose the increase in commercial taxes and strictly enforce the maritime ban. This is a measure that is in line with the interests of the scholars in the south.

    He believed that as long as the imperial court and all the princes in the country work together,It is not possible to control all the merchants in the entire Ming Dynasty. There are many merchants who do not favor them, especially the merchants in Huguang, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Henan, Shanxi, etc. in the west and north of the Ming Dynasty. They do not care about Hui merchants or salt merchants.  Businessmen only care about money.

    In order to eat the food from the south, people like Hu Wanan spent millions of taels of money, because no matter how much food came in, they had to eat it. Only in this way can a situation of control be formed.

    ¡°I can¡¯t stand it anymore, so I don¡¯t blame them.¡±

    Hu Wanan didn¡¯t mean to blame others, because he knew that everyone could no longer bear it. Once the disaster relief food from the court arrived, everyone would be doomed.

    "Pass my order to sell all our food at a reduced price. We will also sell it for one penny per catty. At this time, money is no longer as important as life." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
