Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

Chapter 357: The Shopkeeper Makes Trouble

Lin Guo let go of the abacus in his hand, and after standing up, he couldn't help but think of the scene of people rushing to buy food yesterday.

“Knew they would come.”

Jiang Wuni, on the other hand, thought of the scene of beggars snatching food.

"You dare to come here to drive up the food prices?"

In the past ten years, she has hardly traveled far, and at most she has been to Chuanshui County.

Lindu City is a good place, but it is facing many problems at the moment.

For example, these days, whenever she went out, she always felt that someone was staring at her on the street.

If it weren't for her eldest brother-in-law and third brother-in-law who always showed up in time, she would have been in danger.

So now, she really wants to get rid of this situation.

Mu Heng carefully observed the grain shop owner and everyone else:

"You came just in time. We are too lazy to look for it again."

It would be strange if these grain shop owners did not cause trouble.

These people came once last night, but were driven away by Xue Wen and others who were patrolling outside. They were not allowed to enter and wandered outside the inn for a long time. They tried every means to see the grain merchant but to no avail.

Just this morning, they learned that Lin Guo and others had already started to settle the score, so they rushed into the backyard of the inn in a group.

The innkeeper was secretly frightened when he heard this scene.

Originally, he was feeling complacent yesterday because their inn had a big business. But later, because the Xuanwu Army was waiting outside, he felt like he was being spied on, which was not a good feeling.

Now, there were troublemakers in their inn again.

As he couldn't afford to offend, he never showed up.

When all the grain merchants heard about the high price of grain, their eyes lit up slightly.

But then, he looked at the two generals, Lin Guo and Mu Heng, and the young girl beside them, and shook his head in unison.

As soon as the grain shop owner rushed in, he looked at the abacus of Lin Guo's men and was filled with anger.

But when he looked at Lin Guo and Mu Heng, thinking that they were the general's men, his aura unconsciously weakened by half a degree.

Therefore, they first gathered all the grain merchants together.

One of the shopkeepers, the one Jiang Yue had met yesterday, had an angry look on his face and said to the leader of the grain merchants:

"Fellow grain merchants, we are offering double the price today."

“Before, we have always cooperated.”

Then, the other grain shop owners began to talk at once, and everyone had a bad look on their face, and they were so angry that they were puffing their beards and glaring.

"That's right, we are all working together."

"..."

They had already heard about Jiang Yue's suppression at the city gate yesterday.

All I heard was that Jiang Yue was following His Majesty's orders and drove away other merchants, leaving only these grain merchants.

As they asked, they looked up and down at Lin Guo and Mu Heng, the two soldiers wearing light armor, and felt a little dissatisfied.

That's right, they felt that the general was trying to steal their jobs.

As the leading grain merchant, Sun Guang listened and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, my dear shopkeepers, but the general is following the order of His Majesty."

Not to mention Your Majesty, it’s a good place to sit with the general behind you and enjoy the coolness.

Yesterday, they were deeply shocked by the general's murderous aura.

If they were really attracted by the high profits at this moment, they would be afraid that the general would say something wrong and their lives would be in danger.

"We have finally entered the city, and we have only done half of the business. Please leave quickly and don't hinder our business."

When the grain merchant said this, the shopkeepers felt heartbroken.

"Hindering? What are you talking about? That's not what I said when I first came to your Lindu City to do business with us."

"That's right. Don't forget how you begged us to buy your food."

"..."

Among these shopkeepers, most of them originally collected their grain from the landlords’ homes one by one.

Businessmen are all shrewd. The grain merchants would naturally not offend the royal family, so they set their sights on Lin Guo and the other two.

At this time, the shopkeepers looked at Lin Guo and Mu Heng and began to cry:

"General, why do you want to cut off someone's financial resources like this?"

"We, the shopkeepers, are the ones cooperating with the grain merchants. You can't interfere."

"..."

"..."

During this time, Lin Guo and the other two had been observing the shopkeepers.

Lin Guo stood up, walked into the shopkeeper's room, and said directly:

"You guys drove up the grain prices, disrupted the order in the city, and deliberately caused panic. Now you come here and ask for double the grain price. Aren't you planning to drive up the grain prices again?"

"You know, doing this directly angered His Majesty!"

"His Majesty did not trouble you, you came first!"

Because of Jiang Yue, Lin Guo directly brought up the matter with His Majesty.

He never imagined that today he would be sitting here and talking about these things with these shopkeepers.

With Jiang Yue around, nothing seems strange.

Because of his powerful words, all the grain merchants stood behind him.

Doing business with Your Majesty is a supreme honor, but these shopkeepers in front of you seem insignificant.

As soon as the word "Your Majesty" was uttered, all the shopkeepers lost their confidence.

Although I felt really uncomfortable inside, I had to soften my tone.

The chief shopkeeper said again:

"Since His Majesty has ordered that the general be in charge of the grain store's business, how can it be said that the general should look for us?"

"How can she bypass us grain merchants and do business directly with them?"

Isn't this pure bullying?

It’s not wrong for the young general to want to make money, but since she eats meat, we can’t not even give them soup.

Another shopkeeper echoed:

"The young general only knows how to deploy troops and fight a war, how can he know how to do business?"

At this point, all the shopkeepers began to look for Jiang Yue.

"Where is the general? Why can't I see him?"

"Where's the general? We want to see her!"

"..."These shopkeepers also tried to get the general to share the business with them.

Not to mention the shopkeepers, even the grain merchants had not seen the general this morning.

Jiang Wuni stood up:

"The general's court has not yet ended. Besides, she is not available to everyone who wants to see her."

Mu Heng followed closely, looked at the grain shop owners and said, "Since you are here, don't leave!"

"What do you mean?" The shopkeepers were shocked.

"What do you mean?" Mu Heng asked back, and couldn't help but think of the scene yesterday.

"Tell me, who did you sell your food to before?"

After this question was asked, all the shopkeepers looked anxious with cunning fox faces.

Naturally, whoever bids the highest will be the one to sell it to.

"Of course, we sell it to the people in the city."

After hearing this, Lin Guo said in a cold voice: "The issue of food has risen to the level of national politics. If you don't speak up, someone else will speak up for you."

Mu Heng suggested: "Since this matter has attracted the attention of His Majesty, let's send these shopkeepers to the Ministry of Justice first."
