81. May 7 Cloudy horses neighed and rain and spring was wet
Overnight, there was a sudden surge in grain in Jinling City, whether it was the rice and millet eaten by people or the bran and chaff eaten by livestock, in short, as long as it was about food, the price was rising wildly, and there was even a situation where there was no market
Seeing that there was an opportunity, those big businessmen put almost all the grain in their warehouses into the market when the price was high, and from the opening of the market in the morning to the closing of the market in the evening, nearly 3 million stone of grain and nearly 7 million stone of bran were transported out of Jinling City.
So far, no one has found anything wrong, and everyone is happy to do business. But from the second day, many people began to find that the situation was wrong, because the grain in Jinling City was being transported out of the city like being moved by ants, and this time the price of grain in Jinling City also began to soar, the merchants' warehouses were emptied, and there was even a situation in the market where grain was purchased at a high price but there was no grain to collect.
"Official! Oh no, the official family!! ”
Zhao Xing, who had just had breakfast, was just preparing for a break that was not easy to come, but was disturbed by a noise.
"Zhao Qing, what's the hurry?"
"The official family is not good." Zhao Lang buried his head and rushed to Zhao Xing: "Princess Ruibao is buying grain in Jinling City, she doesn't want anything for rice, flour and grain, even what the livestock eats, she does not mistakenly accept it, and now there is no food available in Jinling City." ”
Zhao Xing's brows furrowed: "What? No food available? Tens of millions of stone of grain, no food available? “
"According to the spies, Princess Ruibao invested nearly 12 million yuan, and went around collecting grain, Jiangxi Province and Jinling City." Zhao Lang said with a sad face: "In Jinling City alone, more than seven million yuan has been invested, and it has always been two stones of grain or eight stones of bran, counting the premium...... These 7 million can empty the grain of seven large warehouses on the market! ”
Zhao Xing was still frowning, he leaned back in his chair: "So much food ......"
"Official, if this grain falls into the hands of the thieves, it will be a big deal."
When Zhao Xuan heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Zhao Qing, do you mean that you are worried about King Fu's rebellion?" ”
Zhao Lang knelt on the ground with a normal sound, and knocked his head to the end: "The saint is angry, the minister is just worried about this country!" ”
Zhao Xuan didn't rush to refute, just got up and paced in the side hall with his hands behind his back, and after walking back and forth: "Zhao Qing, you should tell me, I don't have a place to raise horses in the Great Song Dynasty, why does Ruibao buy so much bran and chaff?" ”
Zhao Lang fell to the ground, his throat and eyes grunted for a while, and then he suddenly raised his head: "Rice with chaff!" ”
Hearing these four words, Zhao Xing exhaled with a long breath: "She...... It's not easy. ”
"The official, the minister doesn't know what he means."
Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "What is the price of rice mixed with bran?" ”
"It's no different from chaff." After Zhao Lang finished speaking, he suddenly straightened up: "She wants to carry rice to feed the victims!?" This is the crime of deception, Princess Ruibao, this ......"
"Bully the king......" Zhao Xuan sighed: "The country is almost gone, what's the use of me wanting this face." Okay, go to the Hubu Shangshu, open the warehouse to release the grain, and drop the grain in the official warehouse. As for the grain merchant's grain Ruibao, you can eat as much as you want, but you tell her that you are not allowed to touch the grain in the official warehouse, and this Jinling City also has to live. Then I sent letters to other state capitals, and all the official warehouses were opened, but I couldn't do it. ”
"Official...... Your Majesty! ”
Zhao Lang clasped his head again: "This shakes the country's foundation!"
"This is a catastrophe, more than 400,000 victims...... Eh, Zhao Qing. Zhao Xuan smiled and turned his head to look at Zhao Lang.
"The minister is here."
"When I was the son of the world, I encountered a plague of locusts, and there was no grass growing wherever the locusts went. Who ate people? Is it a beast? It's the victims! And who are the victims? The people, they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone in the world knows that I am not in the right position, but although I am difficult, I have not rebelled so far, do you know why? ”
Zhao Lang shook his head lightly: "I don't know." ”
"Because I am doing everything I can to make my people eat so that they don't drink Maoru's blood, and no matter how difficult it is, let them live like human beings. I have the heart to be a wise king, and there are many people in the world, so why should I stop it? There are people who protect the country, why do people always want to mislead the country? Zhao Xuan walked up to Zhao Lang and gently pressed Zhao Lang's eyebrows with his fingers: "Do things for people, do things for officials, and have the conscience of heaven and earth." ”
The cold sweat behind Zhao Lang has already moistened his shirt, and the meaning of Zhao Xing's words just now is already obvious, that is, let him not interfere, if he becomes a misguide......
For the first time, he felt that the little emperor in front of him, who was very talkative, was a little tiger, but the tiger was a tiger after all, and the king was written on his forehead and he ate meat.
"The minister will do so, and hope that the country and the people will be safe."
Zhao Xing clapped his hands and smiled: "Look north." ”
"My Emperor Shengming."
After Zhao Lang retreated, Zhao Xing raised his hand: "Wang Companion." ”
"The old slave is here." A gloomy old eunuch appeared in front of Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing sat on the desk, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wang Banban, I bother you to go to Luzhou City in person, talk to King Fu, and let Ruibao not go too far, her brother is also going to live." ”
"Yes, the old slave commands."
After receiving the order, the old eunuch sighed: "Official, you are difficult." ”
"Wang Companion, you have taken care of me since I was a child, although I am a master and servant, I am also a teacher and a friend, and I have to say something to you. It's difficult, what can I do? I am the son of the world, I can eat, drink and be merry, and the sky will not fall on my head when the sky falls. But now, I'm the emperor, and I have to carry it. By the way, what has been the recent movement of the Queen Mother's relatives? ”
"They don't dare to touch His Royal Highness for the time being, but ......"
"Don't panic." Zhao Xuan sat in the position: "My Fu Uncle Wang has his own way, by the way, Wang Companion, after you were saved by that young man last time, can you thank others?" ”
The old eunuch smiled: "Official, this time, I'm afraid I'm going to pick up a treasure for Da Song and come back." ”
"Oh? How? ”
The old eunuch shook his head and said, "Princess Ruibao has been getting close to that boy these days, and every time she comes out of that boy's house, she will come up with a brilliant plan. This is not the ability of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and even Her Royal Highness King Fu may not have such an informal adaptation. ”
"That's very good, very good, hahaha! I heard that my sister Rou'er also ...... with that person."
Thinking that his sisters and sisters were not clear with the same person, Zhao Xing gasped: "This grandson ......"
The old eunuch pursed his lips and laughed: "Official, isn't this kind of thing just what you want?" ”
"Let's wait for him to be famous." Zhao Xuan put his hands behind his back and said: "There are not many people under my hands, and now I want to see, whether he marries Ruibao or Sister Rou, it is the best ending." ”
"Zhao Lang, you go and appease by the way, don't let those old things force the palace." As soon as Zhao Xing mentioned this, his brows couldn't be calmed: "There will always be a day when I will be in power, and I want to let those dogs know my methods." ”
At this moment, Song Beiyun was sitting by the river, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and next to him was sitting a sheep girl who was peeling and roasting chestnuts to eat.
"Brother, why did you suddenly ask me to help you?"
"What? Not happy? Song Beiyun quietly looked at the calm sleep: "Naturally, there are instructions for you to come, you have been familiar with those splashes in the past two days, right?" ”
"Well, somewhat."
"Look at it for a few more days, and pick a few ruthless and thoughtful people to come out. At that time, I will give you a small servant. ”
"Huh?" Yang Niu'er's eyes widened, and she said with excitement on her face: "Brother, why is this?" ”
"What more do you think you can do?" Song Beiyun slapped him: "Just listen to my arrangement." ”
To tell the truth, Yang Niu'er is really useless, he is not smart enough and not clever enough, he is brave and ruthless, but he is a set of ruthless, this kind of person is not good for the society in the society, but he is better than loyalty, just like a Tibetan mastiff-like character.
"Then brother, can you get me a daughter-in-law?"
"You're a bit of a talent!" Song Beiyun almost didn't come up in one breath: "Give me a little bit of interest!" ”
"But brother, you have so much, and you are a pretty sister-in-law, a housekeeper, and that Huiming girl, and ......" Yang Niu'er turned her head to look at the world's No. 1 chicken king who was grilling fish on the barbecue grill not far away: "There are still fairies like that, but I don't even have them." ”
"What the fuck ...... Don't talk nonsense. ”
Yang Niu'er swallowed her saliva and sneered: "My brother scolded me, I scolded me, my brother never scolded people in the past, and if you scold people, you will have a weak heart." ”
"Lao Tzu......" Song Beiyun grinned angrily: "You bastard...... thing"
While the two brothers were chatting in the east and west, Miao Yan staggered over, moved a small horse and sat next to Song Beiyun: "Old Biao, when are you making hot pot, I heard that you are making hot pot base, right?" ”
"I'm running out of butter now, I can't get it. I'm really convinced, it's more difficult to get some butter in Luzhou than TNT. ”
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Miaoyan propped one hand on his chin: "You scumbag is quite powerful, even the princess is obedient, amazing, brother." ”
"What to do, who doesn't like me." Song Beiyun sighed: "Eh...... Sometimes it's quite distressing. ”
"Stinky and shameless." Miao Yan glanced at him, got up and said, "I'm going to grill fish, I haven't had a BBQ for a long time, and I'm going to have a good time today." ”
"Don't worry." Song Beiyun grabbed her arm: "Sit down, sit down, and tell me what the consequences might be if we do this now." ”
Miao Yan thought for a while: "Actually, it mainly depends on the emperor's attitude, if he is a faint king, the order to stop tonight will come down." If he weren't too faint, he would have acquiesced to this act. If he were a clever emperor, he would stop your buying spree and open a warehouse to release grain. ”
"So, just wait."
"Yes." Miao Yan nodded and said, "After the disaster victims arrive, if we can get past this hurdle, our plan can be gradually unfolded, and I am looking forward to it." ”
