Thinking of the incident back then, the king of Linfen County looked at the expressionless emperor on the throne, and looked at Huang Qiong, who was silent at this time on the other side. The body that has already been hollowed out by the wine can't help but sweat. Not only him, but even all the clans understood. The emperor in front of him will never be persecuted.

If you really force him to be anxious, you will be ruthless and do anything. At that time, the property that he had painstakingly managed would all be returned to the imperial court. When the time comes, it will really be like what the king of Rausch said, just kill these fat sheep of himself to make up for the lack of the imperial court. With the emperor he knows, he can really do this.

He and this emperor are already distant relatives, and if they really do it, they will naturally not treat their own son with ease. Anyway, let's take it for now. As for the loss, it is enough to find a way to get it back afterwards. As long as this time is not remembered by the emperor.

Thinking of this, several clans glanced at each other. They all hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, a few of us have thought about it." Just as the British king just said, as the clan itself is a solidarity with the imperial court, and we also have a certain responsibility in this world. ”

"Now that the court is in trouble, we naturally have no reason to sit idly by. Your Majesty, we are willing to do as you ask and sell part of the stored grain at the official price. and is willing to donate part of the food for the imperial court for disaster relief. "Promise to agree, but the king of Linfen County, who spoke on behalf of several clans, still played a trick.

They promised to sell part of the grain at the official price, but this amount is not certain. Ten thousand stones is him, and one thousand stones is also him, anyway, don't say the specific amount. As for the time, let's talk about the time when the time comes. It's really not good, the big bucket is in and the small bucket is out. In short, it is a sentence, the emperor's words must be listened to, but the slippery head must also be played.

Hearing that several clans finally spat out, the emperor did not intend to let them go easily. The voice of the King of Linfen fell, but the emperor smiled slightly: "No, no, since you are also in difficulty now, I don't think there is any need for this." Are you all my relatives, are you all clans, I don't want to embarrass you too much. ”

If the emperor had said this before, the clans present would have been grateful. But now that the emperor said this, several clans still dared to believe it. Especially several clans have understood at this time, and today's matter is obviously a set set by the two of them. No wonder it was the prince who came forward before, but now he has replaced it with this British king who has a bad mouth and a bad person.

Looking at it now, the emperor was worried that the prince, who had always been kind to the clan, would not go along with him, so he replaced him with this stunned king. Even the emperor consciously did not point out the identity of this British King Huaiyang before, so as to lead several of his own people astray and get into the trap he set.

I just want to understand it, but even if I grit my teeth with hatred in my heart, a few people don't dare to show it. And not only did he not dare to show it, but the king of Linfen also pretended to smile and said: "Not reluctantly, not reluctantly." In this world, we also have a responsibility as a clan. In addition to selling part of the grain at official prices, the minister was also willing to donate 5,000 yuan and 5,000 stone of grain. ”

In fact, these distressed clans that are about to bleed in their hearts have really wronged the emperor and Huang Qiong's father and son. The emperor is really unavailable, and in the past two days, they have been unreasonably arguing for three points, which has caused a headache, so he temporarily brought Huang Qiong to help. Even when Huang Qiong received the holy decree and first entered the Wende Palace, he didn't know what the emperor was looking for.

And Huang Qiong's words were half irritated by the faces of these clans when the court needed them. Half of them are also worried about the current situation of these victims. If you can really pluck some hair on these iron roosters, it will be extremely beneficial to the imperial court for disaster relief.

Just as the emperor said, as long as they agreed to sell the grain in their hands at the official price, they could greatly alleviate the urgent needs of the imperial court. However, the current lack of financial resources in the imperial court has also surprised Huang Qiong. He never thought that the financial resources of the Great Qi Dynasty, which was rich in the world, would be so poor.

In addition to maintaining the necessary expenses, the entire imperial court was only a local drought, and as the household department of the Ministry of Finance of a large country, it could only come up with 100,000 yuan and 100,000 stone of grain. Even thirty percent of the needs are far from being satisfied. If this is spread, how many people will be able to believe it? This is more than a month away from the autumn tax in Beijing.

It's just that Huang Qiong is thinking about something in his heart at the moment, but the few clan bosses present don't know. It is estimated that under the circumstance that he did not dare to do anything to the emperor, it was precisely because of the imminent ruin of wealth that several people whose hearts were bleeding put the hatred in their hearts on Huang Qiong. At this moment, the few people who have hated him to death don't want to know at all.

He has always been known for being stingy in the clan, and the king of Linfen County, who has always been known as only entering and not leaving, has already let out a handful of blood. The rest of the remaining clans, where do they dare to continue to hide? Several people who are also aware of the seriousness of the matter, no matter how painful they are, can only give generously.

Except for Huang Qiong's cousin, who also donated 5,000 stone of grain and 5,000 yuan, the rest were 3,000 stone of grain, plus 2,000 yuan. Although the things they donated were only a drop in the bucket compared to the wealth they had. But it was an accident to be able to pull out so much hair from these iron roosters.

It's just that despite these things that have been blackmailed, they have already made these people feel distressed and trembling in pain. But Huang Qiong could also see that the emperor was not very satisfied with these. But it's no wonder that these people are all known as the local tyrants in the clan. The emperor personally came forward, and it took three full days of verbal speech to make such a little thing. Not to mention the emperor, even Huang Qiong felt embarrassed.

Of course, at this time, the awareness of disaster relief in the whole society has not yet been formed. Whether in the eyes of the clan, officials, or the people, disaster relief is a matter for the imperial court, and it has always had nothing to do with itself. Although the ordinary gentry would also donate grain and set up disaster relief places such as porridge farms, if they bleed too much at once, not to mention that they did not do it themselves, even the imperial court would not be at ease. •

For fear that these gentry would take the opportunity to buy the hearts of the people in order to form a trend that would not fall. But at present, the imperial court is basically empty, and it really can't come up with disaster relief money and food, and it has to provide disaster relief, so it has to reach out to fight the idea of these clans. Even so, it is estimated that the emperor is full of reluctance.

Reluctantly reluctant, but with such a small amount of money and food in three days, the emperor must have felt that he was disgraced. However, Huang Qiong was not too surprised that these people were only willing to give such a little blood. With the person he knew about these clans from those files, it was quite rare to be willing to give such a little blood.

If there are more, I'm afraid that these guys who would rather jump into the well with ingots are really willing to burn jade than give a penny or a bucket of grain. Instead of forcing these guys to vomit some blood, it is better to make more articles on the official price they promised to sell grain.

Thinking of this, although Huang Qiong, who did not intend to express his opinion on this matter, bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, since several elders have realized their mistakes and can quickly correct them. The son thought that his father should uphold the principle of punishing the former and saving the future, and did not pursue the matter. ”

What's more, they have promised to sell part of the stored grain at official prices, and they have donated a lot of money and grain to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court. This loyalty to the country, Erchen thought that he should be greatly praised. Especially in disaster years, a sharp increase in food prices is inevitable. Letting them agree to sell grain at last year's official price is also a big loss. ”

"The imperial court can't always let them suffer too much, right? After all, they have nothing to do at the moment, and they are still counting on the money they earn from the sale of these grains to support their families. What's more, they are all children of the Heavenly Family, if they live too shabby because of this, it will also damage the dignity of the Heavenly Family. Since the clan is so sympathetic to the imperial court, the imperial court should also be sympathetic to the clan. ”

As soon as Huang Qiong finished speaking, not only the emperor was stunned, but even the clans present were also stunned. They don't know what kind of wind the British king will smoke just now because he refused to sell grain at official prices, and why did the wind change so quickly?

Sympathetic to the clan, although these words came out of his mouth, it was somewhat strange. It can be seen that this British king actually spoke for himself very rarely, and several clans all nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice. also said that the king of England finally figured it out, and was finally willing to say a few words for himself.

It's just that before waiting for a few clansmen, showing a grateful face, Huang Qiong's next words almost made them vomit blood: "It's better than this, how about every time they sell 20,000 stone of grain at last year's official price, the emperor will reward them with a gold medal for avoiding death?" With this gold medal, although there are no other sins. However, if he commits the crime of treason, he can be punished with a lower punishment. ”

In order to dispel their concerns, the retainers thought that their father could reward each of them with five gold medals first, so that they could be reassured by the first payment. Even if they can't use it temporarily, can they use it for their own children and grandchildren? For such a good thing, Erchen thought that several elders would definitely be grateful. ”

Huang Qiong's voice fell, and the few clans present who were thinking about how to make up for the donated money and food from there almost unanimously scolded in their hearts: "Are you still grateful? Thank you grandma for a leg. You deflated calf, you really follow your grandfather, not an ordinary lack of virtue with smoke. You're really going to kill a few of us. ”

"According to your statement, 20,000 stone of grain will give a gold medal. You actually came up and set five sides for each person first, which means that you want us to sell 100,000 stone of grain at an official price. Do you know what the official price of grain was last year? What is the official price of grain this year? Last year, you could buy a bucket of grain, but this year you can't even buy a liter, you are trying to squeeze our flesh and blood. ”

At this moment, the distressed hearts of the few people who were about to drip blood were afraid that Huang Qiong would come up with some damage again, and they would dare to provoke Huang Qiong. I can only turn my head and look at the emperor in front of me with blank eyes, hoping that the emperor is only the king of England, the idea is to fart, don't listen to this bad trick made by the king of England.

It's just that the emperor who turned a few people into asking for help, who was shy and eager to get money and food for disaster relief, directly ignored it. Regarding Huang Qiong's idea, he immediately nodded in agreement without saying a word. Several sides said that the worthless gold medal, in exchange for hundreds of thousands of stone cheap official grain, no matter how good this business is, how can the emperor who is about to become popular not nod his head?
