Chapter 974: Borrowing Food

Lin Xi took someone away and threw down the words, as for what Gu Feng would do, what the Gu family would do, she didn't think about it at all, she just took the Prince of Beihan and gave an explanation of what she had to do later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the next morning, the emperor did not go to the court, and he did not even give a reason, and there was simply no one left! The ministers were all speculating whether there was something wrong with the harem? The people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division kept their mouths shut, and no one dared to reveal the slightest rumor.

And at this moment, the emperor was already standing in Han Yuchen's secret villa, looking at Lin Xi who was standing opposite, with an expression of gossip and embarrassment.

Lin Xi: "......" must be deliberate, deliberate. She said that this thing had to interrogate Prince Beihan overnight, saying that she wanted to ask something, and said that it was dark and she would not let herself go, which was obviously intentional.

"See the Emperor. Lin Xi was helpless, and Han Yuchen was very excited.

"Well, the county lord of Anping is tired!" The emperor said with a smile, Lin Xi always felt that something was wrong when he heard this, but what was wrong?

"Your Majesty, the prince of Beihan revealed that they really came this time for only one purpose, that is, to ask for marriage. However, this is just an expedient measure, because Beihan is now in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and they must first stabilize the outside, that is, my Dayong, before they can calm down the inside!" Han Yuchen told the emperor about this matter as it was, and when he asked last night, the prince of Beihan said it all, and he didn't hide anything.

"What do you say, what's going on in Beihan now?" the emperor asked, secretly thinking, the spies are not powerful, and such important news has not been inquired. Last time, I said that the old Kang family was plotting against me, but I don't know to what extent.

Now, the old Kang family has shown no intention of surrendering, and has set up an army on the east side of the northern land, and has received the support of many nobles and kings with different surnames in the northern Han. The king of the Northern Han is a little worried, if he continues to fight against Dayong this year, then the Lao Kang family will take this opportunity to attack back and forth. Moreover, there is less food in Beihan this year, and it looks like it is about to reach the point of not having enough to eat, and the people can't eat enough, so what are they talking about fighting!" Han Yuchen said.

"Has it all reached this level?" the emperor asked with some shock, and at the same time he was very worried in his heart, if the people of Beihan could not eat, then the royal family would not say anything, and the bandits of Beihan would also grab the line, and Dayong should prepare early.

"Yuchen, I'm afraid you're going to the Northland sooner. When the emperor said this, he also glanced at Lin Xi, the newlywed Yan'er...... Wait, they haven't gotten married yet, ahem.

"The minister is ready, he can go to the Northland at any time!" Han Yuchen replied sonorously.

"Okay, good!" The emperor only praised these two sentences, and then he felt that he was a little embarrassed, this is not yet married, why doesn't the county lord of Anping go home at night? He is the emperor, he does not gossip at all!

In fact, the emperor is also very worried, there is not much grass in the northern cold, there is not much food in the northern cold, and the northern land adjacent to the northern cold is still not very good. Two days ago, I finally received an excerpt, saying that this year's rain in the north was insufficient, and the harvest was not good, although the people handed over the grain according to the amount, but there was not much left in their hands.

And the north is the gateway to Dayong, and the soldiers and generals can't go hungry, even if the local yamen has the heart to give this grain to the people to eat, they don't dare. Therefore, he asked for the distribution of grain and grass to the north to alleviate the suffering of the people who did not have enough to eat.

The emperor knew in his heart that if Zhou Zhifu wrote so, then the actual situation would not be far behind. In this case, he should have been prepared early!

The emperor didn't know that the officials like to report good news and not bad news, and the prefect has also been entangled and hesitant this week. However, the family has a good son, Zhou Yixuan wrote a letter from home, and Zhou Zhifu gritted his teeth and wrote down the actual situation and sent it to the emperor, and more officials chose to conceal it.

They thought that as long as the people could survive this winter, they would be able to eat enough food next spring, but they did not want to think about how many people would die if the drought continued next year.

And Zhou Yixuan is in the capital, so he naturally knows the situation here, and he also understands the emperor's thoughts, plus Lin Xi's on-demand, Zhou Yixuan understands that the emperor would rather send more news from the north here and prepare early, and he will not want to watch the people displaced.

If the people of the north are hungry again, the people are displaced, and even become chaotic and mobs, then it will be dangerous at that time. Zhou Yixuan told Zhou Zhifu the importance of the matter, and Zhou Zhifu wrote it bluntly, which won the favor of the emperor, and praised officials as it should be!

So two days ago, the emperor sent people to the north to see the actual situation, and prepared to hoard and allocate grain and grass.

Now, the things of Beidi and Beihan come together, and the emperor is indeed sad with gray hair, it is not easy to be a good emperor, I haven't slept enough in the past few days, and I have a headache.

"The emperor doesn't look very good?" Han Yuchen asked, looking at the emperor's dark circles, so natural and so dazzling.

"The governor of Beidi Zhou has made an excerpt, saying that this year's grain harvest in Beidi has failed, and the military rations dare not move, so I have to prepare early. The emperor sighed, look at Han Yuchen and look at Lin Xi, so it is rare to have a piece of gossip to see, but you can't ask!

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the whole world is not the king's land, if there is a shortage of food in the north, it is good to allocate some from other places. Han Yuchen said with a smile.

"Where is it so easy, this annual grain can be harvested as military food, and there is not much food in the hands of the people, and the food in the hands of the people in other places is just enough for them to eat. "The emperor is a benevolent monarch, so naturally he can't do that tyrannical thing.

"Your Majesty, what the minister said is not the grain in the hands of the people, nor the grain in the hands of the government, but the grain in the hands of the merchants. Han Yuchen said suddenly, the emperor looked at him in shock, aren't you robbing?

"How can a merchant be willing to take out the grain in his hand?" The emperor humbly asks for advice, this is not good to rob directly, he is the king of Shengming, he is very face-saving, okay?

"Give me money!" Han Yuchen replied as a matter of course, thinking of the problem that his daughter-in-law discussed with him yesterday, he didn't expect that he would be able to despise the emperor now, but he was despised by Lin Xi for a night last night.

"Give money! There is money in the treasury, but some must be set aside for the repair of the dikes in the rainy season, as well as the building of weapons...... "The emperor is so poor!

"Your Majesty, an IOU!" Han Yuchen said with a refreshed heart, this is the feeling of despising people, an IOU!
