Although the drought in Jiangnan and other places had a great impact on the Dawu Dynasty, it was not all places in the Dawu Dynasty that were affected.

Zhao Tiannan didn't have the idea of beating the ordinary people, when the entire Dawu Dynasty was shrouded in the shadow of famine, if he still wanted to grab food from the ordinary people, he was afraid that he could only force the people to the side against him.

The limited food in the hands of the people does not mean that these families in the capital have no extra food.

Counting the big families in the capital, which family does not have a few fields, and the grains, fruits and vegetables sent by the Zhuangzi are only for the masters to enjoy, but I am afraid that they will not be able to use up them in a few lifetimes.

In this case, let these nobles give some blood for the sake of the Great Wu Dynasty to survive this turmoil, Zhao Tiannan will not be uneasy.

The day after receiving the news, news came out in the palace that in order to save more silver to help the people of the world survive the famine, the emperor ordered to streamline all the food and clothing in the palace, and even the three meals a day of the queen mother and the emperor were reduced to the most common two dishes and one soup.

The most important thing for a minister to learn is to perceive the will.

Zhao Tiannan acted like this, how could the courtiers in the court ignore the true meaning, and since hearing the news, they have generously donated money and dedicated their efforts for the livelihood of the people.

In addition to donating silver, the female relatives of the major clans also set up a tent in the north of the city to give porridge because of their compassion for the difficult life of the victims, although it was only a bowl of porridge. But it's good enough for the victims to survive.

As long as there is hope for survival, people will never go to a dead end.

As a result, all kinds of things that happened to the victims of the disaster in the capital were much less overnight.

Zhao Tiannan was very satisfied with the knowledge and interest of the courtiers in the court, but his ultimate goal was not the diǎn silver offered by the ministers, compared with the needs of disaster relief, the diǎn contributed by the courtiers was tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and his real eyes were still on the rich businessmen and magnates who mastered the economy of the Dawu Dynasty.

Let the people survive this famine. Silver alone is not enough. There has to be enough food to solve the problem.

In the granary °C∽dǐng°C∽diǎn°C∽小°C∽ said, .2↗3.$os_(); If there is no food in the country, those who have enough food in their hands will only have the major grain stores.

Zhao Tiannan's original intention. I want to set an example for myself. Let the people behind these grain stores see his determination to provide disaster relief. He had already thought about it, as long as these grain banks could come up with enough food for him to deal with this turmoil in the Great Wu Dynasty, it would not be impossible for him, the king of a country, to promise them some benefits.

Zhao Tiannan's calculation is very good. But he miscalculated what he is doing now.

The nature of businessmen is to pursue profits, and today's famine is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the major grain banks to make a fortune, and it is too late for them to pinch the grain in their hands and wait until the price of grain rises to the highest place to make huge profits, how can they be so light because of Zhao Tiannan's statement and take out the things in their hands in vain.

In fact, if it were a change of the usual, it would not be that there would be no grain store willing to provide food when such a time came, after all, although the merchants had a profit-seeking nature, they also cared about the current stable and prosperous times.

But who let Jiangnan and other places have such a thing, I heard that the local government has already used officers and soldiers to kill people in order to let the merchants who had received those official grains spit out the grain.

In this case, if they still hand over the grain like a fool, isn't that just telling others that they are stupid and have a lot of money?

Maybe they just revealed that they wanted to provide food, and the next moment they were surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, wouldn't the family business they had worked hard for decades fall into the hands of the imperial court in vain?

Because of this kind of disease, Zhao Tiannan never waited for the generosity of the major grain merchants, realizing that this qiē was due to what happened in Jiangnan and other places, and thinking of the officials he sent to recover the stolen goods for him and the Dawu Dynasty to cause such a disaster, Zhao Tiannan even tore their hearts.

The major grain stores refused to take the initiative to donate grain, even though Zhao Tiannan was angry, but he did not dare to blatantly force them to hand over the grain, now it is an eventful season, if he does this again, I am afraid that the Dawu Dynasty will be dragged into a deeper quagmire.

Zhao Tiannan naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing, but whenever he thought that as the master of this great martial dynasty, he had no way to take these profiteers who relied on him for a living, and he was secretly angry in his heart.

The gentleness of the court's treatment of businessmen over the years has probably made them forget what kind of low status merchants were in the previous dynasty, and since they have lost their respect for the court more than 20 years ago, he doesn't mind letting them sober up.

As long as this famine can be perfectly survived, he will definitely clean up these businessmen who can't see the situation clearly.

Those grain merchants who were clutching their pockets in order to keep their net worth didn't know that because they didn't give money in time at this time, Zhao Tiannan made up his mind to clean them up.

And Zhao Tiannan, the disobedience of disaster relief made his heart also unhappy, and after dropping a blue and white tea cup with a "bang", Xu was extremely angry, and he felt a little out of breath for a while.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Gonggong Lin, who was accompanying Zhao Tiannan, saw that Zhao Tiannan's face was wrong, and he was about to raise his voice to call someone to invite the imperial doctor to come.

"No, I'm fine." Zhao Tiannan took a few deep breaths, and waited for the dizziness in front of him to recover, before raising his hand to stop Gonggong Lin from calling the imperial doctor.

In order to be able to take care of this piece of country that he personally fought down for a longer time, Zhao Tiannan has been paying great attention to taking care of his body over the years, and his talent is obviously over half a hundred years old, but he is healthier than those in his forties.

However, since he witnessed Han Su's body being burned to that appearance and vomiting a mouthful of blood, his physical condition has deteriorated, and now, he actually feels his old age day by day.

This made Zhao Tiannan extremely unwilling.

He is the master of this great martial dynasty, long live in the mouths of his courtiers and people. Even if he knew that it was impossible to live to ten thousand years, if he were to fall at this half-hundred-year-old age, he would probably not even be able to close his eyes when he died.

But......

No matter how unwilling Zhao Tiannan is, he also knows that people can't disobey old age.

The frost on his sideburns and the deepening wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are telling him that he is indeed old, and he is no longer the high-spirited Zhao Tiannan who fought everywhere back then.

As long as you are human, it is impossible not to die. This diǎn Zhao Tiannan knows best.

He originally. It was also arranged for his posthumous affairs, so he did not hesitate to ask for help from the senior monks of Huangjue Temple, and also to preserve the body of Han Su, who had been dead for more than 20 years, intact.

Even though he has tried his best to avoid mentioning Hansu over the years, it is in his heart. He was still ashamed of Hansu in the end.

He thought. They can't stay together while they're alive. Then when he died, he was willing to sleep with her in the ground, and he would use the next long time. Let Su Su forgive him for his original actions.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, he didn't expect that Su Shenyu, who has always been regarded as a stupid woman by him, would be so vicious to Su Su's corpse because of the jealousy in his heart.

He was a king, and it was just a matter of seeing Han Su die in his arms with his own eyes, but now he couldn't even keep the only thought he left after his death, Zhao Tiannan really wanted to strangle Su Shenyu to death at that time.

Now, Su Su has ended up with no bones, so who can accompany him after a hundred years?

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Tiannan's heart that had already been cultivated by the cold and heat was a little sad for no reason.

Then, he suddenly remembered the Feng Zhige who he suspected of being Han Su.

After a slight pause, he said: "The people sent to Huzhou, what did they investigate?" ”

As he spoke, he remembered the brief side he had seen with Feng Zhige that day.

Since the meeting that day, he not only gave an order to the dead soldiers around him to kill Xiao Jingbei, but also sent people to Huzhou to investigate Feng Zhige's affairs over the years.

It's just that his dead soldiers not only failed to kill Xiao Jingbei, but also were killed by Xiao Jingbei and hung their bodies at the city gate, so those dead soldiers who were absolutely loyal to the royal family and loyal to him who took a lot of effort to cultivate died at the hands of Xiao Jingbei, and the pain in Zhao Tiannan's heart was indescribable.

However, he could only eat this dumb loss alive and swallow the bitter fruit he planted.

Hearing Zhao Tiannan's question, Gonggong Lin lowered his eyes and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the people sent to Huzhou have not returned, after all, it has been a long time since what happened in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion back then, and it is inevitable that you will not find any useful news for a while." ”

In fact, it's not that the people sent by Zhao Tiannan can't find any news, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has been rooted in Huzhou for twenty years, since there are traces of it, with the skills of Zhao Tiannan's subordinates, it will naturally not be too difficult to find out something, and even the news about the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and Feng Zhige in the early years has already been sent to Lin Gonggong, but he used some small means to hide it.

Gonggong Lin naturally knew that he couldn't intercept this news forever, but it was of course good to leave more time for the queen to prepare.

After listening to Gonggong Lin's answer, Zhao Tiannan did not doubt it.

Counting the people around him, if there is one person who can win all his trust, then this person must be Lin Gonggong, in the early years, he did not suspect that Lin Gonggong was a spy sent to him by Han Su, but Han Su has been dead for so many years, and Lin Gonggong's loyalty in the past 20 years is enough to prove his credibility.

There were bursts of irritability in his heart, if it weren't for Gonggong Lin still in front of him, Zhao Tiannan would have to hold back this depression and vent it in the imperial study.

Recently, no matter what he does, everything is always going wrong, there is a drought in Jiangnan and other places, a large number of official grains have been stolen and sold, and now there is a famine caused by the reduction of grain production in Jiangnan and other places, the Dawu Dynasty is a special period of unstable people's hearts, and even he sent people down to investigate the matter for so long without replying.

After more than 20 years on the throne, Zhao Tiannan has never been so unhappy.

Forcibly enduring the boredom in his heart, Zhao Tiannan ordered again: "Tell me to go down and let the people below step up to investigate everything about the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and that Feng Zhige." ”

Zhao Tiannan had both some fear and some expectation in his heart.

The fear is because he is afraid that this Feng Zhige is really the Han Su of the year, and he also has some understanding of Han Su, if it were not for the perfect strategy, Han Su would not have appeared under his nose so brightly.

As for the anticipation......

Zhao Tiannan actually didn't know what he was expecting.

Based on what he did to Han Su back then, and the clear smile on Han Su's death back then, Zhao Tiannan suspected that she had already guessed what kind of mystery was in that glass of wine.

Even if Feng Zhige was really the cold Su of the year, since she had returned to the world, with her temperament, how could she get back together with him and abandon all kinds of grievances back then?

What's more, she is now married.

And her marriage was given by his own decree as an emperor.

As long as he thought that Feng Zhige might be cold, Zhao Tiannan's face was twisted for a while.

After a long time, he suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and instead instructed Lin Gonggong: "Go and invite the prince." ”

Gonggong Lin answered "yes", turned around and went down to ask the crown prince Zhao Zaicun to go to the imperial study.

After about a cup of tea, Zhao Zaicun followed Gonggong Lin to the imperial study.

Zhao Tiannan glanced at Gonggong Lin, and Gonggong Lin withdrew from the imperial study with great knowledge, closed the door carefully, and personally guarded the outside.

When only Zhao Tiannan's father and son were left in the imperial study, Zhao Tiannan raised his eyes to look at Zhao Zaicun, "Has the prince's health improved recently?" ”

When he asked this, Zhao Tiannan's eyes were a little cold.

Because of Concubine Ning's fall back then, Zhao Zaicun was born weak, and he has been carefully protected by the doctors from all over the hospital over the years, which can be regarded as improving.

However, after being assassinated by the two dead soldiers around him with chronic poison and medicine last time, I don't know if it was due to improper recuperation or the poison was too domineering, Zhao Zaicun's body has always been a little good and bad, which made the entire Tai Hospital worried during this time, for fear that if something happened to the prince, they would be angered by the emperor.

Under such a panic, these Xinglin national players in the Tai Hospital even began to superstitious the so-called Chong Xi Zhi among the people, hoping that the prince's body and bones would be healthier after this wedding.

It's just that now it seems that their wish has not been fulfilled in the end, even if it has been married for a while now, Zhao Zaicun's body is still as good and bad as before, which is worrying.

Zhao Tiannan remembered the news he had received during this time, and the annoyance in his heart added a little more.

Facing Zhao Tiannan's greetings, Zhao Zaicun lowered his head slightly and responded in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern, my son-in-law has been much better recently." ”

When he said this, Zhao Zaicun's hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clench tightly. (To be continued.) )
