132. 131 I help the people
Su Yuanfeng kept his head down, and he didn't dare to look at Sikong Jin, and when Sikong Jin asked him, he said what Su Rui taught him in the letter.
"Yes. The small ones have a way to get food, and now that I have made a big famine, as a member of the big beard, the grass people are willing to share the worries of His Majesty. Su Yuanfeng knelt on the ground and said.
"Oh?" Sikong Jin put down the fold in his hand a little unexpectedly, as an emperor, he couldn't buy grain everywhere, this Su Yuanfeng was just a small businessman, and he could get food.
But he thought about it, after all, the interlacing is like a mountain, when he took Su Rui to Su's shop a few days ago, he obviously heard him say that he took out all the surplus money in the store to buy food.
Maybe he really has food.
Sikong Jin's expression softened a lot, and he said to Xiao Shunzi, "Show this Su Gongzi." ”
"Thank you for your grace." Su Yuanfeng's heart was put back in his stomach this time. I have all looked at the seats, and I should not be angry that he rashly came to offend Tianyan as a civilian.
"How much grain do you have? How much are you ready to sell? Sikong Jin then asked.
Xiao Shunzi moved a pear blossom wood Taishi chair, but where did Su Yuanfeng dare to sit, Xiao Shunzi glanced at him a few times, and realized that His Majesty asked you to sit on it, Su Yuanfeng sat down tremblingly, but he only sat on the small half of the chair, and did not dare to sit full.
"If His Majesty can agree to the two conditions of the grass people, the grass people will hand over 100,000 loads of grain to His Majesty for free." Su Yuanfeng said boldly to Sikong Jin.
He peeked up at Sikong Jin, who was sitting behind the large desk.
It's nothing if you don't look at it, but after seeing it, his cold sweat instantly broke out again, and his heart, which had already fallen into his stomach, rose again.
The man behind the table, wearing a white dragon robe, embroidered with a multicolored gold silk dragon on his chest, with royal domineering and luxury, his face is handsome and beautiful, such a look only needs to be seen and he will never forget it, he has seen Sikong Jin! He could swear that he was not mistaken, the new monarch of Hu Guo in front of him was the man who came to the Su family's shop with his boss a few months ago!
That bearing, that demeanor, can't be wrong, no wonder he thinks Sikong Jin's voice sounds a little familiar.
If the husband of the boss of his own family is the current majesty, then the boss of his own family is not ...... Su Yuanfeng felt that his mind was suddenly in chaos.
At that time, he felt that the boss's husband was extraordinary and not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that he would be the prince of Hu State, today's Majesty!
This information instantly made Su Yuanfeng at a loss.
He got a message from Liuli before, saying that the boss had died of illness, and if he wanted to mourn, he was rejected by Liuli. If it weren't for the fact that Miss Liuli was by the boss's side throughout the whole process when the Su family shop was established, he would almost think that Miss Liuli was talking nonsense.
He thought about it for a while, and it was so coincidental that the day of the boss's death happened to be the same day as the death of Princess Ryan at that time. And the original King Ryan is the current Majesty, and the man who the boss brought to the Su family's shop that day is clearly the one in front of him.
There are all kinds of indications that the real identity of the boss is the deceased Princess Ryan!
It's not hard to explain why bosses are always hiding their whereabouts.
And the boss's letter clearly told him not to reveal the slightest bit of her information. Could it be that it is the people in the palace who are on guard? Su Yuanfeng cheered up again, since the boss didn't want them to know that he was still alive, then he had to keep this secret for the boss.
The boss is very kind to him, how can he get into the boss and danger. Royal affairs, maybe the boss was forced by them to fake his death.
Su Yuanfeng had gradually calmed down.
It's no wonder that the boss mentioned in the letter that all the people or things in the palace were the way. Because that's where she lives.
While Su Yuanfeng's brain was in chaos here, Sikong Jin was also slightly stunned when he heard that Su Yuanfeng had 100,000 loads of grain.
There are really 100,000 loads of grain, and the situation in Hu can be reversed!
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said, "Are you sure you have 100,000 loads?" Sikong Jin paused, "Do you know what the end of the crime of bullying the king is?" ”
Hearing this, Su Yuanfeng raised his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare to bully the king." As long as His Majesty agrees to the two conditions of the grass people, the grass people will definitely give 100,000 loads of grain! ”
"Okay." Sikong Jin chuckled, he, the emperor, should be, Nalan Jingxue came to negotiate a condition, and this commoner also came to him to negotiate conditions.
It's just that these are extraordinary times, so it's natural to do extraordinary things.
"Tell me your terms, and I will consider them." Sikong Jin said after chuckling.
"Your Majesty, you are on high above you, but you know that under your rule, the assassins and county guards of the cities and counties have ordered the city gates to be closed, and the people who have fled are not allowed to enter the city, and they are allowed to starve to death and freeze to death. Do you know that there have been disaster victims who have begun to change their children and eat, and such a miserable and contrary to the principles of heaven and humanity actually happened in our Hu country. His Majesty's first condition for the grass people was that all grain must be distributed to the people, and His Majesty should send good officials who are really close to the people and love the people to supervise the distribution of grain in various places. If His Majesty sits back and watches his people go deep into hell, he is afraid that he will lose the hearts of the people. Su Yuanfeng stared and said all the things Su Ruixin said.
He was also born in poverty, in order to treat his mother's illness in the past, he had no less days of starvation, he was reading from the book, but in the end he became excited, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
Sikong Jin's brows furrowed deeply.
Close the gates and don't let the victims enter! The temperature outside, plus the lack of food, how long can those flesh and blood last? Even if you don't starve to death, you will end up freezing to death! These dog officers! Ping Suli advertised that he loved the people like children, and something really happened, but he closed the city gates one by one and lost his pawns to protect himself.
Yi Zi eats it, and the words alone are already shocking.
He pinched the joints of the armrests of the dragon chair, and his strength was a little pale. Holding back the anger rising in his heart, he took a deep breath and said calmly, "This request is not too much, I promise you." Even if you don't say it, I'm going to use that food where it should be. ”
Even if Su Yuanfeng didn't mention it, Sikong Jin would do it. Food is used for disaster relief, not for corrupt officials to enrich themselves. If they are all greedy by those people, what is the anger of the common people?
"What's the other requirement?" Sikong Jin asked.
"His Majesty knows what the price of food is now. Grass people are in business, although the national crisis is at the head, grass people are willing to contribute food, but grass people also need to live. Therefore, please also ask Your Majesty to agree to a reluctant request from the grass people. Su Yuanfeng said.
"Say it." Sikong Jin frowned, the highlight is here.
"The grass people want to borrow a piece of treasure land from His Majesty, and the use period is ten years. Ten years later, the place was returned to His Majesty. Su Yuanfeng said.
"Where?" Sikong Jin asked.
"It's from the north of Lushan to the south of Yanshan." Su Yuanfeng said.
"There?" Sikong Jin was a little surprised, he leaned over slightly, "It's a wasteland forest there, what do you want there?" ”
"That place is a wasteland for His Majesty, but it is a treasure in the eyes of the grass people." Su Yuanfeng said.
"There's no mine there." Sikong Jin reminded, "If there was, it would have been opened a long time ago." ”
"This grass farmer knows." Su Yuanfeng said, "The grass people only borrowed there for ten years. ”
A piece of wasteland that is useless for Sikong Jin can be exchanged for 100,000 loads of grain and grass, no matter how you say that this transaction is Sikong Jin's advantage.
Sikong Jin pondered for a moment, and immediately nodded. "I'll let you go. But if you can't get a hundred thousand loads of grain, be careful. I will not show mercy to those who deceive me. ”
"Rest assured, as long as Your Majesty writes down the credentials and rents it to the grass people for ten years, three days later, Your Majesty will send troops to Liangcheng to receive grain!" Su Yuanfeng said.
Sikong Jin saw that Su Yuanfeng was sure of what he said, and smiled slightly, "Okay." ”
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly walked over and replaced Sikong Jin with a new scroll.
Sikong Jin wrote down the borrowed contract and stamped it with the royal seal, "Three days later, if I really get the food, someone will naturally send this contract to your store." ”
"Thank you for your grace." Su Yuanfeng thanked him and said in his heart, the boss guessed accurately, and he guessed that Sikong Jin would not hand over the contract lightly.
The reason why he is so confident now is entirely because everything Su Ruixin said has been fulfilled one by one.
"Alright. Go down. Sikong Jin waved his hand and said.
"The grass people say goodbye to His Majesty." Su Yuanfeng knelt down and saluted, and then was led out of the imperial study by Xiao Shunzi.
"This father-in-law." Su Yuanfeng saw that he had walked to a slightly secluded place, so he saluted Xiao Shunzi and asked. "May I ask what disease did the first queen die of?"
"What are you asking for?" Xiao Shunzi frowned. "I don't know about this, but I see that you are an honest person, and you have solved a big problem for Your Majesty just now, so I remind you that Your Majesty doesn't like others to mention a qiē about the first queen. So if you see your majesty in the future, don't mention these things. lest you die and not know why you died. ”
"Uh-oh." Su Yuanfeng nodded hurriedly in response.
He had a stomach full of doubts, today's Majesty is the man who accompanied the boss to the Su family's shop that day, although it is said that people are similar, but even if they are similar, they will not look alike.
He is a jeweler, and his eyesight is extraordinary, and he can distinguish the small differences between treasures and fakes, so how can he look away?
On that day, the glass girl came to the store to inform herself that the news of the boss's death, and she didn't dare to believe it, but the sadness on the face of the glass girl that day ordinary people couldn't pretend to be it, and she just told her boss that she was gone, but she didn't say anything else.
Su Yuanfeng knew that the royal secret was not something he could explore, he just tried it just now, and the result was also expected by him, so he didn't ask any more.
In Su Yuanfeng's heart, the boss is a good person, she will not betray His Majesty, as for her to fake her death, it must be the fault of other people in the palace.
Su Yuanfeng walked out of the palace gate and glanced back at the towering palace behind him, it was a good thing that the boss faked his death. Although he had only entered the palace once, he sincerely felt the oppression and restraint brought by the high palace walls.
She's already faked her death. Even thinking about the people of Hu State, Su Yuanfeng's heart was full of admiration and respect for Su Rui.
~~~~
Three days later, on the head of Liangcheng City, Su Rui wrapped in a silver fox fur warm fur and quietly looked at the neatly arranged grain carriages under the city.
There are heavy guards around the carriage, and there are special people who are weighing and counting.
Su Yuanfeng was standing under the city tower, and Su Rui looked at him from a distance, feeling sad in his heart.
She no longer has any friends in this world, Su Yuanfeng can be said to be the only person she can trust, but now she can't recognize Su Yuanfeng.
The work of counting the grain lasted for several days, and the 100,000 quintals of grain could be counted overnight.
The convoy alone stretched for dozens of miles.
Su Rui didn't know how Nalan Jingxue managed to quietly gather so much food here in such a short period of time, but the Burning Heaven Palace had a channel for the Burning Heaven Palace, and she didn't bother to ask.
Until the last day, Su Rui climbed the city tower again, and watched from a distance as the last cart of grain was received by the government, and the official who carried the grain turned out to be Helian Yunlin, whom she was familiar with.
"You know him?" Nalan Jingxue didn't know when she quietly stood behind Su Rui, followed Su Rui's gaze, and then asked.
"yes." The corners of Su Rui's lips curled slightly, and his eyes showed a little warmth, "He was the first person to lend a helping hand to me in the country of Hu." ”
"Oh." Nalan Jingxue nodded.
"Let's go." Su Rui looked at it for a while, and then said to Nalan Jingxue. "You've been delaying me for days."
They have been in Liangcheng for several days, just to do this.
"You helped him after all." Nalan Jingxue also watched the last cart of grain being counted and slowly left Liangcheng along the official road, and said with a smile.
"I'm not helping him, I'm helping the people of Hu." The warmth in Su Rui's eyes disappeared, and she said in a cold voice. "I just don't want to see the people change their children and eat."
She didn't have so much energy to guarantee that she could distribute 100,000 quintals of grain to the victims all over the country, if the grain was handed over to Chen Moran, he would not care about the life and death of the people, and if he had the slightest scruple in his heart, he would not take advantage of the chaos to rebel. And what he likes to see the most is the chaos of the Hu country, because the more chaotic the Hu country, the greater the chance of his successful rebellion! Only by putting the grain in the hands of Sikong Jin can we ensure that the food is used for disaster relief.
Because what Sikong Jin needs most now is disaster relief to calm down people's grievances.
What the common people are drawing. As long as these most basic living requirements are met, who wants to abandon their families and children and leave their hometown to fight?
Disaster relief can be exchanged for a good reputation among the people, Sikong Jin is not a fool, he will definitely ensure that the food is used where it should be used.
"Now you can tell me what you want that wasteland to do." Nalan Jingxue withdrew her gaze, landed on Su Rui beside her, and asked.
"Because there's coal in that place." Su Rui said slowly.
"Coal?" Nalan Jingxue was very surprised, he had seen this thing in the classics of the Burning Heaven Palace, also known as black gold, which could be burned, but the classics of the Burning Heaven Palace did not say that it was there.
"How did you find out?" Nalan Jingxue asked curiously.
"For a period of time in the palace, I had nothing to do, so I read a lot of books in Sikong Jin's study." "I saw a description of the area in a journal. ”
Her face was slightly pale, and there was a faint pain in her chest.
The rapprochement between her relationship with him probably began at that time.
She was reading in his study, and when she was tired of reading, she slept in his study, but she didn't expect to bump into Sikong Jue and quietly return home with the injured Sikong Jin.
I was so stupid at the time.
Su Rui sighed lightly, raised his eyes and said, "Let's go." ”
