C612 moisturizing silence

The 60 liters of news stunned all the grain merchants in the capital. How could they have ever seen such a playful person? He had only just taken over and he already lost 20 gold. How could he do business like this?

"Shameless, simply shameless, let's join forces and go find Xiao Letian …" If we can't finish this, then we must live! " When the grain merchants saw the mountain of rice in the warehouse, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

However, when these big bosses who were yelling and shouting saw the cold gleam on the bayonets of the new army on the street, they were so scared that they all shrunk their necks to retreat.

"This grandpa!" Xiao Letian is a god of death, even the imperial government cannot afford to offend him, let's go back and beg the main house! "

The owner of the words of the grain merchants was actually the high level aristocrats of the Qing Dynasty. This group of great princes not only consumed a large amount of salary every year, but each family also had countless land estates and big businesses in the city.

It could be said that the monopolistic businesses that made money in the Beijing all had their own shadows. Why was the grain dealer not afraid of the imperial government making too high of a price?

The main house was completely helpless against Xiao Letian. More and more new troops gathered at the capital city, and they didn't even dare to fart.

"Damn it, the imperial government only has one goal, to spend money to send this god of pests away, and you want me to provoke Xiao Letian? Scram, whoever loses will be held responsible by your shopkeeper, who asked you to hoard Xiao Letian's food? You dare to touch his things? "

"Now that you have taken advantage of Xiao Letian, do you want money or not!?"

A rice price of 60 liters per liter was not the bottom line at all. As the new overseas rice was delivered to the capital, the price of the rice instantly dropped to 50 liters, reaching the price that it would take before the change.

When the news of the flat price of rice spread out, those citizens who were trying to escape began to return to the Beijing. They didn't even need two days, and the prosperity of the capital was already completely restored by Xiao Letian.

The streets were back to normal. People were back to normal. The shops were back to business, and the prices of rice were stable. After the crisis, the citizens began to make big purchases, and the business began to flourish.

50, 45, 43, 41... Three days later, the capital's price of rice miraculously stabilized at the threshold of 40 coins. The entire imperial government was dumbfounded.

"dryad is back again? How could the price of rice return to the level it was at in the dryad's era? Is that Xiao Letian really the God of Fortune? " 's methods could only prove that they were a bunch of useless trash.

This was the relationship between the world and the merchants of the four seas. The rice over in Nanyang was cooked three times a year, which was unimaginably cheap. Although it tasted a little worse, who among the poor cared?

Perhaps some people felt that the cost of trafficking for millions of miles must be very high, but in reality it was not. Since ancient times, the cost of water transportation had always been lower than the cost of land transportation, which was why China excavated the Grand Canal.

Furthermore, the efficiency of maritime transport was higher than river transport. The tonnage of the sea ships in the middle of nineteenth century was already very large, and the ships carrying over a hundred thousand tons were already very popular. Furthermore, the safety of maritime transport was far greater than before.

This was a power that the Qing Dynasty couldn't even begin to imagine. Countless Chinese goods were taken out of the country by the ships in exchange for ships full of food, and Xiao Letian wanted to use the cheapest price to destroy the price of the food in the Beijing Belt. He simply didn't care whether those grain merchants would go bankrupt or not.

Xiao Letian did not want to stay in the capital forever anyways, he was destined to lead his troops and leave this place, so as to leave an unforgettable impression on the citizens of Beijing Belt.

Xiao Letian was very clear that with Qing Dynasty's skills, as long as he himself left the capital, the price of food would not be able to keep going at such a low level. At that time, the price of rice that was priced at 40 liters per liter would just have to wait for it to double.

Furthermore, there were also the grain merchants raised by the nobles and the princes. They would definitely make up for the losses they suffered after sending Xiao Letian away, and when that happened, the trend would surge again. By then, all the benefits that the commoners would enjoy for the next few months would be gone.

It was better to die than to throw the goods away. Whether Xiao Letian was good or not was something that could be determined by comparison. It was impossible for the people to not see Qing Dynasty's incompetence and her love for the people. In this way, the hearts of the people would naturally make the right choice.

The facts proved Xiao Letian's judgement. Only four months after Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea left Beijing, the capital city started to make a ruckus. Without the help of overseas food, the price of the land could not even maintain a single meter of the land.

No one was willing to listen to the imperial government's explanation, and the peasants did not consider the difference between overseas and rice. There was only one simple principle, which was that the prime minister had food to eat and the imperial government starved.

This was Xiao Letian's ultimate attack on the Qing Dynasty. No matter how powerful the weapon was, it was useless against others. After the incident in the ocean, the prestige of the Manchu dynasty was completely smashed to the bottom.

Food was merely one of Xiao Letian's weapons that fought for people's hearts's hearts. Three days later, in a place called the Goldfish Pond, in Southern City of Beijing, Xiao Letian suddenly appeared in front of the citizens with his personal guards.

"Prime Minister, ten thousand generations... The Prime Minister had something to eat … "Long live the Prime Minister …" As long as there was a leader in the crowd, thousands of citizens would cheer along.

However, Xiao Letian was not here to deliver food today. He only had one ditch in his eyes, and that was the famous future sulcus longus.

The sulcus longus originated from Hufang Bridge, which crossed from Tianqiao, goldfish pond and Hongqiao south to Yongdingmen moat, passing through the southeast of Beijing's outer city. According to the research, the Ming Dynasty's sulcus longus already existed in the Ming Dynasty, but there was no name at that time.

It wasn't until the middle of the Qing Dynasty that the river became called sulcus longus, but because of the decrease in water volume, the river that was as clear as the water of the Ming Dynasty gradually accumulated and became the famous smelly ditch in South City.

The environment was not good, so naturally, the rich did not want to live here. After years of war and chaos, the refugees slowly gathered here, turning into a large area of destitute grasslands that lived in the slums.

This was the original shape of the sulcus longus that Lao She wrote. After the establishment of the new China, the Beijing Municipal Government spent a lot of effort to reform and clean up the rubbish to build the underground river. In Xiao Letian's previous life, he had never seen the true appearance of this river.

Right now, the real, historical sulcus longus was smelly in front of him, and even though Xiao Letian was prepared for it, he was still shocked by the scene before his eyes.

"Is this still a human residence?" There was no river flowing in the nasty-smelling ditch. The garbage was floating in the water, and the corpses of dead cats and dogs were floating in the trash. There were even dead babies hiding inside.

On both sides of the river were dirt roads. No one laid bricks here at all, and everywhere were mud pools after the heavy rain. The surrounding shacks were short and messy, the dark and thin citizens had dirty braids, and the children looked at the new army with worshippers and fingers.

If this world really had a hellhole, then this place was definitely one of the best places.

"Fellow villagers … Today, I, Xiao Letian, am not here to feed everyone. What I want to do is something that you all do not even dare to think about. From today onwards, I want to turn the sulcus longus into a paradise … "

"Pass my order, start the operation …" Xiao Letian roared, causing the sulcus longus to be thrown into chaos.

The new recruits carried bayonets in their hands and escorted groups of disheartened Eight Flag soldiers with shovels, wicker baskets, and other tools.

After the Eight Flags Soldier passed by, groups and groups of the capital's Green Battalion s arrived on both sides of the sulcus longus with all kinds of tools in their hands.

Seeing that the people were almost here, Xiao Letian shouted loudly, "Fill the soil and build a dam, stop the river... Within one month, I want to see a clean sulcus longus … Not only that, the entire Beijing was exterminated! "

All the citizens were shocked. They never thought that after Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea finished releasing the food, the second decree would be a great sweep of the city. How could there be such a strange official in this world?

But no matter what, Xiao Letian's orders were carried out unconditionally. The captives of the Qing Dynasty army who had previously resisted the new army now became engineers and began to remove the stench in the city.

The sulcus longus was cut off from the river, and as the water level gradually dropped, the soldiers started to clean up the river. Baskets of smelly mud and trash were piled onto the carriages and transported out of the city.

In the streets and alleys, countless soldiers began to sweep the mud off the streets with shovels and brooms. All the citizens were dumbfounded.

"Good heavens, the soldiers are sweeping the streets? What was the Prime Minister trying to do?! and so on... Look, there's actually a stone slab on the street? "

That's right, in the eyes of the common people, the mud from two hundred years ago was shoveled away, revealing the flagstones paved by the Ming Dynasty. Knowing that now, the people knew that the Beijing was not dirty, and did not have the conditions of clear sky and land, or of rain and mud on the ground.

In the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, the streets and alleys of the Beijing were actually covered with stone slabs of roads and sewers. However, in the hundreds of years that the Qing Dynasty had ruled, the dust had covered all the traces of history and people had all forgotten about it.

"What is the Prime Minister trying to do?" "Why spend so much energy on this unflattering thing?" At that moment, even the normal citizens did not understand what Xiao Letian was doing.

However, Xiao Letian was very clear on what he wanted. Since the Qing Dynasty had given the citizens a dirty life, then today, Xiao Letian would give the citizens of the Beijing the cleanest place possible.

Qing Dynasty will starve you, and I, Xiao Letian, will feed you!

The Qing Dynasty will give you ugliness, I, Xiao Letian will give you a valiant and valiant look!

I, Xiao Letian, am willing to give you the cleanest heaven and earth!

From today onwards, as long as the citizens of Great Qing were to mention the name Xiao Letian, the only things that surfaced in their minds were the three labels of warmth, satiety, cleanliness, and so on.

Xiao Letian's governance was completely soundless, and the people's hearts were all stolen away in an instant. It was really his greatest misfortune for the Qing Dynasty to encounter such a sh * t stick.
