He immediately understood! This was definitely a deep pit that Grand Secretary Gu had dug for the five major grain merchants!
The policy of "no less than 300 coins, or death without mercy" seemed to imply selling at a high price and making huge profits, but in reality, it was a catastrophic blow to the five major grain merchants.
"Ling Xun, continue writing the rice price announcements and send Hong Ying and the others to post them everywhere, making sure that more grain merchants, large and small, see them."
Ling Xun responded and immediately went to write the notice, which the female soldier then rode a fast horse to a more distant location to post.
When the county government's notice was posted, the local people were first taken aback, then erupted in anger and cursed it.
"What kind of lousy Grand Secretary is he? He's definitely colluding with those unscrupulous merchants. Two hundred coins is already high enough, but he just comes along and raises it by a hundred!"
“Let’s go to Magistrate Qin’s office and file a complaint, and tell him to go back home.”
"Damn it, may the heavens send down a bolt of lightning to strike this treacherous minister to death!"
...
When Magistrate Qin returned from outside, he didn't dare to mention that the people outside were cursing Gu Shaoyu. He just paced back and forth anxiously.
Gu Shaoyu said, "Magistrate Qin, starting tomorrow, you will go to all the intersections and keep watch. Remember, you are not allowed to obstruct any grain carts entering the city."
Magistrate Qin had no idea what he was up to, so he just lowered his head and remained silent.
A higher rank can have absolute power; Grand Secretary Gu was far more senior than him, so what could he do?
On the day the notice was posted, Li Hailong, the prefect of Zizhou, rushed to Baiyang County. On the way, he heard countless people cursing Gu Shaoyu and Magistrate Qin, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Go ahead and curse, curse as much as you want!
Lord Wei said that this man is full of evil intentions. Once you find a handle against him, you should immediately submit a memorial to impeach him to the death, completely ruin his reputation, and bring him down.
"Upon arriving in Zizhou, you openly raised grain prices so high. Although I don't know what you're up to, you've given me leverage, so how can I not make good use of it?"
