As a businessman, Su Cha knows the situation of the major commercial banks in the east, but it takes a little time to find out how much money they have made in raising food prices this time.

Su Cha was afraid that Lin Chujiu was worried. So when he found out the situation behind the major grain merchants, he immediately sent it to Lin Chujiu, so that Lin Chujiu could take measures.

Although the political powers of the four countries, such as the East and West, were independent, both the economy and politics have the shadow of the central empire. Just like in food prices, they were controlled by large families in the central empire.

After each battle, the food prices will rise. It has become an unwritten rule in all countries, and even the emperor cannot interfere with it.

The price increase this time was not an exaggeration. So Su Cha didn’t expect that people in the capital will cause trouble because of it and that the emperor will reprimand Xiao Tianyao for this matter.

When it comes to the price increase, it can be said that Xiao Tianyao has no responsibility for this at all. The price of food indeed increased because of his disappearance. However, it was too much to pressed everything to Xiao Tianyao and make him responsible.

However, ordinary people were very easy to deceived. Every time the food price increase, the people will lose a lot of money, so they naturally get uneasy, but they don’t know who should hate. The merchants only say that there was a shortage of food because of war, many places were in chaos, so their food supplies get expensive. It’s not their fault. If they think that food was expensive, they shouldn’t buy it.

This time, the emperor listed one or two reasons to prove that it was Xiao Tianyao’s fault that the price of food has increased. So when the ordinary people saw it, they naturally believe it, and then they blamed Xiao Tianyao.

At this time, if someone instigates it, it is possible for those people, who suffered heavy losses to gather and smash Xiao w.a.n.gfu. By that time, even if Xiao Tianyao returned victoriously, he will also be branded a sinner. Xiao Tianyao will never gain the citizen’s respect again.

“Fortunately, w.a.n.gfei didn’t accept the imperial decree. Although it is a serious crime to refused to accept the imperial decree, Xiao Tianyao will not be able to turn over after receiving this decree.” The more Su Cha thought about it, the more he felt terrible.

The imperial decree of the emperor was too abrupt, they did not receive any news about it in advance. If Lin Chujiu didn’t firmly reject the imperial decree, they would fall into the emperor’s calculations. If that happened, they will bear the stigma of colluding with unscrupulous merchants and making money in war.

The more he thought about it, the more Su Cha felt terrible, so he couldn’t help but write a letter to Xiao Tianyao, telling him what happened in capital and let him prepare in advance.

This time, to wash away the charges of price hike, they offended the Zhang Family of the Central Empire, and they had to be prepared in advance.
