Hearing Fang Yun's voice, even Ao Huang and Yang Yuhuan trembled slightly, not to mention the political advisors.
Although the human race was rich in resources and did not lack food most of the time, the price of food was always a sensitive topic.
The county yamen seemed to have returned from March to the dead of winter. The talent of scholars to resist the cold seemed to have disappeared.
Under the protection of the private soldiers, the county yamen's carriage rushed to the granary of Ning An County at twice the usual speed.
Then, Fang Yun held the official seal in his hand and transmitted his thoughts through the seal and the Divine Temple to the official seal in charge of the granary.
"I will arrive at the granary immediately!"
On the way, Fang Yun kept sending letters.
"Ying Wu, investigate the situation of the granary immediately."
"Arrester Lu, there is a change in the price of food. Please maintain order in Ning An County."
"Magistrate Cai, can you send me the documents of the Green Crow Mansion regarding the price of food and the distribution of food?"
Fang Yun sent many documents and thought about many things. He vaguely understood the intentions and methods of the Left Minister's party, but he had to reach the granary first.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the granary of Ning An County.
Fang Yun quickly got off the carriage. Ao Huang nervously followed behind.
"Greetings, Magistrate Li Sen!" A middle-aged man in a boy's robe hurried over to greet him.
Fang Yun glanced at him and said, "How much food is left in the granary?"
Li Ku was taken aback. "Why does Your Excellency say so? Last night, the Soaring Eagle Army came with the order to transfer food and transported all the food from the granary with the transport company. This morning, I wrote the documents and ordered them to be sent to the county yamen. Do you know? "
Fang Yun's face darkened. Although he knew that the Left Minister's party would target the granary, he did not expect them to use such a forceful method.
The Soaring Eagle Army protected Mishou and Ning An County was under their jurisdiction. They could easily take away all the food in the Green Crow Mansion, let alone just one county.
However, no matter how forceful the Soaring Eagle Army was. They had to go through the transport company.
Fang Yun turned to look in the direction of the transport company. Geng Ge and Soaring Eagle General had already made their moves. A Hanlin scholar and a Grand Scholar had Ning An County firmly in their throats.
Ao Huang said anxiously, "Can we get the food back?"
Fang Yundao: "Fang Xusheng can, but Acting County Magistrate Fang Yun can't."
Ao Huang sighed silently. If this was not the Palace Examination, Fang Yun would have gone to steal the food. However, he could not do so in the Palace Examination.
Fang Yun didn't even look at Li Ku as he turned around and left.
Li Ku was transferred to the granary in the first month of this year. Before that, he was just an ordinary child official. Incomparably pure. Obviously, the Left Prime Minister's party had been preparing for this day for a long time!
Ao Huang followed behind and asked, "What about the food? You only have two options now. One is to force the grain merchants to lower the price, and the other is to transfer grain from outside. "
"Let's go to the Beimang Army's camp." Fang Yun got onto the road. "I just received news from Cai He that all of the grain stores in Ning An County belong to the Qingyuan Grain Company!"
"What?" Ao Huang was shocked.
Gyeongo was located in an advantageous location. It was a major grain producer, and the Qingyuan Grain Company was Gyeongo's number one grain company and the human race's number two.
Behind the Qingyuan Grain Company were Gyeongo's many noble families and noble families!
Last year, only 20% of the grain stores in Ning An County belonged to the Qingyuan Grain Company.
"Impossible! Some of the grain stores in Ning An County belong to Jingguo's noble families. There's no way they would sell to the Qingyuan Grain Company. "
"Of course, the Qingyuan Grain Company couldn't use their own name to purchase the grain stores. They bribed two noble families in the Jing Kingdom and, with the cooperation of many families in the Wu Kingdom, used the name of dozens of grain companies to purchase all the grain stores in Ning An County in three months. Even Cai He only received the news today. Not long after. The people who received the news would definitely send me a letter. "
"It's normal for those small grain stores to be unable to withstand the pressure. Why would the noble families want to sell their grain stores?"
"The Demonic Sage is about to invade the south, and the Barbarian Tribe is about to invade. Many noble families are already slowly selling off their properties in Ning An County. The reason why I didn't encounter much resistance when I punished the workshop owners is partly because many noble families have already given up on the workshops here. Furthermore, which noble family do you think is in charge of the grain stores? Bribing them would be a piece of cake. "
Fang Yun had just finished speaking when he received an urgent letter from Zeng Yuan in Kongcheng.
"Not good! I just received news that the Qingyuan Grain Company has bought all of the grain stores in Ning An County. They might be targeting you! "
Soon, Kong Detian also sent an urgent letter.
"Be careful of the grain stores."
Even though Zeng Yuan was a member of the Zeng Family, he had a bet with Fang Yun. After Fang Yun had composed many legendary war poems, he had gradually become one of Fang Yun's aides. Helping Fang Yun in the Court Examination was not a big deal.
As a member of the Kong Family, it was very taboo for Kong Detian to send a letter to Fang Yun during the Court Examination. However, Kong Detian had done it. Other than his friendship with Fang Yun, it was obvious that the situation was urgent!
Soon after, Yan Yukong, Zong Wude, and other good friends in the Court Examination began to send letters.
"There seems to be a problem with the grain prices in Gyeongo. Ah, it would be bad if it affects my Court Examination." Zong Wude seemed to be complaining.
"Fang Yun, what do you think about controlling the grain prices?" Yan Yukong seemed to be discussing how to govern a county.
When Fang Yun saw these letters, he felt warmth in his heart. Due to their status and rules, these people could not directly reveal the matter of the Qingyuan Grain Store. However, they used this method to remind him.
Fang Yun was originally a little depressed. He was even discouraged by the difference in power between him and the aristocratic families. However, when he saw these urgent letters, many of which were from his competitors, he gradually regained his confidence.
The Left Prime Minister's party and the Qingyuan Grain Store and the aristocratic families behind them represented a powerful force in the human race. However, these letters also represented a powerful force!
The latter was one of the reasons why the human race continued to grow stronger. It was also one of the reasons why Fang Yun was willing to serve the human race.
Ao Huang thought for a while and said, "It seems like we can only transfer grain from other places."
"If the Transport Company and the Soaring Eagle Army allow it." Fang Yun said.
Ao Huang was stunned. He said, "You mean that the Soaring Eagle Army, the Transport Company, the Qingyuan Grain Store, and the Left Prime Minister's party will all prevent grain from being transported to Ning An County?"
"Yes, all the normal channels have been blocked! If I dare to transport it, the Soaring Eagle Army will dare to seize it! "
Ao Huang immediately said, "That's simple. You have the River Shellfish and I have the Sea Swallowing Seashell. We can just buy grain from other places and transport it back. We can open a grain store and sell it!"
"You probably forgot that the Civil Division of Mishou issued a decree not long ago. In order to suppress grain prices, all places in Mishou are prohibited from issuing grain labels until August. That is to say, even if you buy a large amount of grain before August, there will be no place to sell it! Only the old grain store can sell it! "
"You mean that the decree of the Civil Division is not about the grain price, but about you?"
"Yes, they have already used all their forces to surround me. They want to defeat me on the grain price that the people are most sensitive to!" Fang Yun said.
Ao Huang said angrily, "Then we can just buy it with our own money and give it to the people of Ning An County for free. We have a lot of money anyway!"
"Fang Xusheng can do it, but County Magistrate Fang can't." Fang Yun said.
"Why can't I?"
"Yes, but after the delivery, the Civil Division and Agriculture Division will be reduced to Grade D until the end of the court examination!" Fang Yun said.
