461 The wind arises, and the sin is added
Xiao Tianyao didn't reply to Lin Chujiu, locked the opened Luban lock with the letter, put the matter aside, and only wrote a letter to order Su Cha to find a few skilled craftsmen to see if the principle of the Luban lock could be used in buildings and weapons. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Cha was not surprised at all when he received Xiao Tianyao's reply, he had long known that this would be the case, so he had been pestering Lin Chujiu for the past few days, and finally took out all the knowledge about Lu Ban Lock in Lin Chujiu's hands.
Lin Chujiu has been pestered by Su Cha for the past few days, obviously she knows everything she knows, but Su Cha doesn't believe it, and pesters her to say a little more, another little more......
Besides, she's not soaked cotton, she can press out the water by squeezing it!
She has said it a thousand times, she studied organ architecture but medicine, she purely used Luban locks as toys at the beginning, how much can she understand?
Lin Chujiu, who was entangled by Su Cha, finally had to resort to a killer move, pretending to be sick and not seeing Su Cha!
Lin Chujiu originally just wanted to pretend to be two or three days, and wait for Su Cha to pass this upsurge, but she didn't want to announce that she was sick yet, and there was big news from the front line - King Xiao came out! With the more than 200,000 troops who were lost in the dense forest a few months ago, they came out safely!
From King Xiao's disappearance in the dense forest, life and death are unknown, to King Xiao finding the missing army and coming out, there were only seven days before and after, and the people in the capital were stunned again when they heard the news.
"King Xiao walked out of the dense forest safely, and also found the army that had been missing for months, this, how is this possible? It can't be fake news, right? "During this time, the people in the capital are like swinging, up and down......
Since receiving the news seven days ago and learning that King Xiao was missing, the hearts of the people in the capital have been hanging high, looking forward to good news from the front line every day, but they are disappointed every day.
Since the news of King Xiao's disappearance came, the rice grain in the capital has become a sought-after commodity in an instant, regardless of whether there is silver or not, buy the rice first.
They are afraid, they are afraid that there is King Xiao, the front line will not be able to hold, and when the time comes, the people of the Northern Calendar will come in and rob them of their grain, and then the price of grain will rise wildly, and they will have nothing to eat.
This happened a few years ago, and after each major war, the price of grain would inevitably rise wildly, and even silver could not buy food, and the people of Dongwen suffered greatly.
"One message a day, which one is true and which one is false?" The people queuing up to buy grain overheard the news, glanced at the grain price that was five cents higher than yesterday, and hesitated again and again but gritted their teeth and retreated.
If King Xiao is fine, the price of grain will inevitably drop, and he won't buy it!
"I don't know, didn't you say that King Xiao died two days ago? I just saw the official document that was urgent for eight hundred miles, who knows whether it is true or false, and the imperial court has no explanation. The person who spoke looked at the price of the grain, which had been changed again, and his heart was uneasy.
What's going on?
In the blink of an eye, the price of grain rose by another two cents.
"It's not that the news is fake, right? These big businessmen are well-informed, and they certainly can't be wrong. "The person who just came out of the team felt sorry in his heart.
Damn, this one turned around, the price of food has risen by two cents, but it won't work if you don't buy it, if they can't win this battle, the price of food will be even higher.
"Brown rice, I want fifty pounds."
"Rice, two hundred catties, give me two hundred catties!"
……
The grain store was crowded with people grabbing grain, and the little two and the shopkeeper of the grain store said very arrogantly: "Move faster, it's gone if it's late, that's all, it's gone when it's sold out." ”
"I, I...... Silver, this is silver. ”
"I'm in front, you load it for me, give me the scale."
The front of the grain shop was crowded with people, everyone was afraid that the price of food would rise again, and they were crazy to dig out the silver, but at this moment, the official messenger sounded the gong along the street, "Everyone be calm, the front-line battle report, King Xiao is safe and sound, and he will return to the barracks with the 30th army, and the northern calendar will be beaten back in a few days, everyone can rest assured!" ”
After saying "bang ......", he struck a gong to remind the people along the street.
"Everyone, rest assured, King Xiao has returned to the camp with the army, and we will win this battle! up"
It is no wonder that the imperial court is so prosperous, but some unscrupulous businessmen took advantage of the news of Xiao Tianyao's disappearance to make a lot of war money, forcing the emperor to take action.
Well, these unscrupulous businessmen have Su tea!
It's not that Su Cha is shameless, but all businessmen are like this, and Su Cha is already kind. The grain shop under the Su family, no matter how the price rises, is the lowest, especially today, the price of the Su family's grain shop has returned to normal, which is much more reliable than other people.
As soon as the official news came out, what else did the people have to worry about?
"Profiteer, profiteer, you profiteer, knowing that King Xiao is fine, still raises the price of grain. Smashed, everyone went up together, and smashed this shop that pitted people's money. ”
When the people who grabbed grain in front of the grain stores heard the news and thought of the unjust money they had spent, they immediately became angry, and regardless of whether they broke the law or not, they picked up the planks and smashed them, and grabbed the bags when they lifted them.
These profiteers cheated money first, they smashed the shop and spent a few days in prison, but the grain they snatched back was real......
Someone took the lead, and someone immediately followed, and in an instant, all the major grain stores in the capital were smashed and robbed. The Su family's shop is no exception, but they are slightly better, but the rice placed outside has been robbed, and the others are in good condition.
The matter was so big that several people died in the process of looting. When the news reached the palace, the emperor was furious and ordered officials to severely punish the vendors who raised their prices indiscriminately, and at the same time lock up the troublemakers.
When such a thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it naturally attracted great attention from the imperial court. The next day, there was an impeachment of the imperial history in the early court, saying that this matter was caused by King Xiao's willful behavior and corrupt officials' rashness, and they asked the emperor to severely punish King Xiao to set an example.
King Xiao is on the front line, how to punish him severely?
Of course, there are also people who stand up to speak for King Xiao, saying that what does all this have to do with King Xiao? Obviously, it was the officials in the capital who did not appease the people well, so that the people would be terrified by King Xiao's disappearance.
I didn't want to, as soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately changed his face, removed the man's official position on the spot, and dragged him out to play the 20th board.
Saying that the officials in the capital did not appease the people well, doesn't it mean that he, the emperor, is incompetent, and the dignified son of heaven is sitting in the capital, and he can't appease the people in the capital?
The emperor knew very well that Xiao Tianyao made a disappearance scene in order to bring out his army in the dense forest. The emperor was originally very dissatisfied with Xiao Tianyao's behavior, and as soon as this official said it, this dissatisfaction became twelve.
Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, the emperor immediately issued an order to reprimand Xiao Wangfu, and the responsibility for the merchants to raise the price of grain and the people to rob the grain was all deducted from Xiao Wangfu, and Xiao Wangfu was fined 200,000 taels of silver......
After the eunuch who delivered the decree finished reading the holy decree, Lin Chujiu was stunned.
Grain prices are rising, what is the matter with the people fighting on the front line, their prince has only been missing for a few days, where do they know that those unscrupulous merchants will take advantage of this to raise prices, and there is also a grain robbery incident.
It's not like this before, but it's not as serious as this time.
Was this premeditated?
Your Majesty, you are too ruthless!
If this crime is deducted, isn't the reputation of their prince ruined?
