Fang Xuanling's face turned green as he looked at the plate of radishes, cabbage, and green vegetables.
It wasn't easy for him to make a trip to the Myriad Blessing Restaurant. He didn't expect that he would only eat some radishes and cabbages. It was really too aggrieved. However, Fang Xuanling didn't dare to say anything more. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
Fang Xuanling's eyes widened as soon as the carrot entered his mouth.
"This radish…"
Wan Kuan fanned himself and sat opposite Fang Xuanling.""There are no side dishes in Myriad Blessing Restaurant. Every dish is a signature dish.”
"Wonderful!" Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up as he quickly put down his chopsticks.
The radish was sweet and mellow, the cabbage was sour and spicy, and the plate of green vegetables was incomparably delicious. It was really wonderful!
Wan Kuan looked at Fang Xuanling who was wolfing down the food and couldn't help but twitch his lips. People who came to Wanfu Restaurant for the first time all ate like this, just like the two little girls who were disguised as men.
However, these two girls hadn't been here for a few days, and he really missed them.
"The boss is really Yi Ya!" Fang Xuanling praised sincerely.
"Don't mention that man-eating scum. If you have something to say, please say it directly!”
Fang Xuanling chuckled and put down his chopsticks.
"Boss, how did you know about the north?”"I'm a merchant outside the pass," Fang Xuanling said, stroking his beard."I'm very concerned."”
Wan Kuan laughed in his heart. He was really lying.
"My mind is so vast that it connects the vast universe. I listen to thunder in silence.”
Wan Kuan waved his folding fan and recited a poem to Fang Xuanling. When Fang Xuanling heard this, he almost pulled out his beard.
"Wonderful, what a good way to hear thunder in silence. But Boss, what do you mean by this?”
Wan Kuan couldn't help but feel a little disdainful when he saw Fang Xuanling acting dumb. He clearly understood what she meant, but he pretended to be confused. After all, he was an official.
"The price of grain in Chang 'an City has risen. We have spent a lot of money on buying rice and noodles these days!”Wan Kuan said leisurely.
Fang Xuanling's eyes darted around as a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart. This young man in front of him really had sharp eyes. He could guess so many things just by the price of grain?
"Boss, what does the increase in grain prices have to do with mutton?”
Wan Kuan looked at the scholar in front of him and closed his folding fan."You really don't know?"
"I really don't know, please enlighten me!”
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and Wan Kuan smiled. He was quite polite now.
"But this concerns the imperial court. I'm just a lowly citizen and don't dare to talk about state affairs!”
Wan Kuan looked troubled, while Fang Xuanling almost jumped up.
A commoner? What kind of joke was this? If he was really a commoner, why would His Majesty send him, the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, to probe him? As the head of the civil officials, how could he be so free?
However, Fang Xuanling was anxious, but there was a smile on his face.
"Boss, we are all businessmen. The matter here is too big. If we are not careful, our family will be ruined. As fellow merchants, the boss should give him some pointers! There was no one in this private room, so no one would know even if he told them!”
Wan Kuan pretended to be surprised." Heaven knows, Earth knows. You know, I know. How can no one know?"”
"Don't worry, Boss. I'll keep my mouth shut. Once I leave this door, I won't say anything!”
Fang Xuanling's words were pleasant to hear, and there was even a pleading look on his face. Seeing this, Wan Kuan put down his folding fan.
"Guest, come over here!"
"I'm all ears!" Fang Xuanling was overjoyed.”
"Last year, the locust plague was rampant and the grain price was quite high. However, this year was a year of bountiful harvests. Guanzhong, the Central Plains, Hebei, Jiangnan, Jingchu, and Bashu were all blessed with good weather. However, the grain price was not low after the summer heat.”
Wan Kuan's voice was calm as he spoke.
"It's normal for grain prices to be high in a disaster year. But now the grain price is abnormally tight.”
"This…" "Boss, please speak frankly!" Fang Xuanling paused for a moment.”
Wan Kuan smiled faintly." No one can control the price of grain. The more grain there is, the lower the price. The less grain there is, the higher the price. This has been the case since ancient times. The high price of grain was because there was less food!”
"But this year's harvest is great, why are we short of food?”Fang Xuanling asked.
"The food was hoarded by people and did not flow into the people, so there was less!”
"Then who is hoarding food?" Fang Xuanling's voice trembled.
"This!" Wan Kuan pointed his folding fan above his head.”
Fang Xuanling's heart was filled with shock. The imperial court was such a secretive affair, yet this teenager in front of him knew it so clearly. It truly made him unable to remain calm.
"Then the Imperial Court…" Fang Xuanling had just said three words when he suddenly changed his words."Then why is the higher-ups hoarding it?"
"Sigh! There was a sharp sword hanging in the north, and no one could sleep well. Destroy this sword as soon as possible so that everyone can sleep soundly!”
Wan Kuan said it casually, but Fang Xuanling's heart was in turmoil!
The youth in front of him was truly stunning. He could actually see the whole picture from a single glance. This kind of eyesight, shrewdness, and strategy really did not lose to him.
And he had climbed all the way to have today's knowledge. Could it be that this youth in front of him was talented?
In ancient times, Gan Luo was worshipped as prime minister at the age of twelve. He thought it was just a lie, but he didn't expect Fang Xuanling to realize that there was really such a talented person in this world!
