If he had known that Shangguan Xiong's order had come, he would have cut off all business dealings with Nanli City. As for the grain in the granary, he would not touch a single grain!
At this time, the nobles of Juncheng spoke up, saying, "Your Highness! We have been deceived by Lord Wang and believe that he is right. We will leave now!"
After saying that, these people wanted to turn around and leave.
As people from aristocratic families, they only care about interests. Since this monkey king is bound to die, there is no need for them to offend the prince of Daliang for a monkey king.
Qin Yu looked at these people at this time and said in a cold voice: "This prince was going to look for you, but since you came here on your own, then don't leave, let's settle the score together!"
"Hmm? Your Highness! What do you mean? We didn't provoke you!"
"As aristocratic family, is there anything wrong with us doing business? We don't do business with Nanli City because we earn less money. How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bother us with such a thing!"
The noble families spoke one after another.
"Haha! This prince has no say in who you want to do business with, but breaking the rules is not an option. What's more, you've eaten so much food in the granary, you must spit it out!"
Qin Yu said with a sneer.
"Your Highness! You're exaggerating! Even though the food was sold by Wang Hou, we also spent money to buy it. What have we done wrong?"
The noble family said unconvincedly.
"This is the granary's in-and-out ledger that the Imperial Guards obtained. This is the ledger we received from your mansion. This is also the current price of grain in the southern region. This prince will make sure you die with a clear conscience!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
Then, he took out the granary's account book and said, "The Juncheng granary buys grain at 25 wen per catty, but sells it at only 15 wen per catty!"
"This means that this monkey king took the life-saving food that the court bought for the people for 25 wen, and sold it at a loss of 15 wen!"
“Is this saving money?”
This!
Wang Hou's face was pale and his pants were wet. He was completely desperate at this moment. He had made such a big mistake. Even if Emperor Liang came, he couldn't save him this time!
"That was done by the Monkey King! What does it have to do with us? We didn't say we had to buy the grain from the granary!"
The nobles are still not convinced!
"This is your account book. The grain you sold was all sold at the high price of thirty-five coins per pound. Between this return, you've made more than double your money!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
"Haha! We are in business, so of course we have to make money. Is it because His Royal Highness is jealous of us because we are making money?"
The noble family sneered and ridiculed.
Qin Yu was too lazy to pay attention to them. Instead, he turned to look at the scholars present and said, "This is the current price of grain in the southern border. It has risen to 60 coins per catty!"
"Do you know what the price is that this prince has set? It's thirty coins per catty. Even in winter, the maximum cannot exceed thirty-five coins per catty!"
"With food prices so high these days, can ordinary people afford it? Come winter, people will surely go hungry, while the granaries are being emptied by these termites!"
"How will we provide disaster relief then? The court can only buy them at exorbitant prices. How much money will the court lose by doing this?"
"This prince has said that you are free to do business, but you cannot break the rules!"
