Although Qian Min has blocked all the channels for purchasing grain, Mo Zizai has not done anything according to the rules since he left the imperial tomb. Therefore, Qian Min always feels that he will have other ways to get food, so he always feels uneasy in his heart.

"We must make the three disaster-stricken counties chaos as soon as possible. As long as the three counties are in chaos, if there is no force to suppress them, what if he has food in his hands?"

Qian Min silently comforted himself in his heart, slowly dispelling the uneasiness in his heart. After letting go of this matter, Qian Min instantly remembered the 500,000 taels of silver that had been blackmailed by Mo Zizai just now.

"Five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand taels!"

Qian Min's tone was a little heartbroken. Because of an unintentional disaster, he was vacated 500,000 taels of silver. This life was simply impossible.

And the most important thing is that if he had known that Mo Zizai had such a big appetite, he would not have let Qian Gui take out the tea leaves. As a result, the money was cheated away and the tea leaves were gone. He lost his blood.

"Mo Zizai, wait." Qian Min secretly became angry in her heart, "Sooner or later I will let you spit out everything!!!"

...

After Mo Zizai and Zhou Qi left the Qian Mansion, he always felt that someone was talking to him behind his back, "I seem to hear someone cursing me behind his back. Zhou Qi, would it be Qian Min?"

Zhou Qi was following Mo Zizai with a brocade box in his hand. In order to facilitate the use of the tea leaves when he was paying Qian Mansion, Mo Zizai specially asked Qian Min's housekeeper Qian Gui.

He extorted people's money and took people's precious tea. Before leaving, he even asked someone to wrap the tea. Even with Zhou Qi's temperament, he felt that Mo Zizai was a bit too damning.

Therefore, when he heard Mo Zizai's question, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "80% is Mr. Qian scolding you behind his back."

"I'm very brave, but I dare to scold me behind my back."

Mo Zizai rubbed his itchy nose and asked Zhou Qi: "Is it feasible to go back and blackmail him 500,000 taels of silver?"

“…”

Zhou Qi really doesn’t know what to say this time. You said it was blackmail, so how can it be feasible?

I just ransomed 500,000 taels of tea from Qian Min, and there was a pile of top-notch tea. As a result, you just went out. I guess Qian Min's stool was not hot yet, so you were going back to blackmail for the second time. You are simply bullying people to death.

In order to prevent the Minister of Revenue from being angry to death, Zhou Qi thought for a while and barely gave Qian Min a reason to excuse him, "Prince, we have already paid the Qian Mansion. At this distance, even the human realm warriors could hear his voice."

"So, even if you go back and get this reason... he will not recognize it."

“That’s true.”

Mo Zizai looked a little regretful, "What a pity, I can't go back and appreciate Mr. Qian's face-changing skills."

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Zhou Qi's mouth twitched slightly. He decided to selectively forget this sentence and just pretend that he had not heard it.

"Prince, although Mr. Qian Ge promised 100,000 shi of grain, it is hard to say when it will be shipped. And the most important thing is that even if all the 100,000 taels are shipped, they can only solve the urgent problem and cannot solve the problem at all."

"Yeah, I know."

Mo Zizai nodded without caring about Zhou Qi's concerns, "I didn't expect them to be. I just thought that I could give him something if I could give it. After all, more food is the better, but the big one still has to be solved by kind people."

"A kind person..."

When Zhou Qi heard the word "kindness" again, he couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Who is the kind-heartedness that the prince is referring to?"

Mo Zizai did not answer, but instead asked Zhou Qi a question, "Zhou Qi, who do you think has the most food?"

"That can only be a noble family."

Zhou Qi gave the answer to this question without hesitation. Most of the aristocratic families with a long history have the habit of building warehouses and storing grains. Some of the more powerful aristocratic families have the warehouses for storing grains, even larger than some official warehouses in the imperial court.

Therefore, if the imperial court is eliminated, the people who own the most food will undoubtedly be those aristocratic families.

Therefore, Zhou Qi thought Mo Zizai was going to attack the aristocratic family, so he couldn't help but frown tightly. Now that the imperial court has no available soldiers, he will rashly attack the aristocratic family. This is obviously not a wise choice.

"Not a family."

Mo Zizai shook his head and rejected Zhou Qi's guess and said, "Besides the aristocratic family, who do you think has a lot of food in his hands?"

"Except for the aristocratic family?"

Zhou Qi was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted, "What the prince is talking about, those grain merchants?"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the business environment was relatively good, and there were endless merchants from all walks of life. Although most of these merchants had the shadow of aristocratic families or officials, they were independent of another class outside the aristocratic families and the court.

"That's right, it's those grain merchants."

Mo Zizai nodded and smiled kindly, "I read the information from Yuzhishi. In the capital alone, these grain merchants' grain storage capacity is no less than a million stones."

"There are so much food that people in the capital can't finish it. It's a pity to get moldy in the warehouse."

"Prince, is this appropriate?"

Zhou Qi was slightly hesitant. Now that the official warehouse has no grain, it depends entirely on the supply of these grain merchants. If these grain merchants are hollowed out, it will be a big trouble if the grain in the capital is not supplied.

"Don't worry, the capital city has not suffered any disasters, and most people still have food reserves. Even if grain merchants have no grain to supply in a short period of time, there will be no problem in the capital city. At most, the price of grain will rise a little, so there is no big problem."

After hearing what Mo Zizai said, Zhou Qi's face once again showed a helpless look on his face. He had heard that the firewood from the bottom of the pot was removed, but he had never heard of the firewood from the bottom of the pot.

This is completely a fire in the capital to save the fire in the disaster area of ​​the three counties. If something happens to the capital, the problem will be much worse than the drought in the three counties.

"Prince, this matter..."

Zhou Qi wanted to advise him, but apart from this method, he really couldn't think of any solution, so he could only change the subject and said, "Prince, those grain merchants shouldn't sell you grain, right?"

These merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty had a faint background of aristocratic families or officials. Therefore, when most people did not want to have food to transport to the disaster areas of the three counties, they probably wouldn't dare to sell the food to Mo Zizai.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"
