713 grain was sent to Luoyang City
It is for these considerations that it is for this reason. So I went back to the palace again.
In fact, the Cheng family I went to first brought me back a large amount of food, and I originally wanted to transfer it to the Cheng family to deal with. It's just that they told me that this is a big deal! It must be reported directly to the imperial court!
That's why I asked to see Your Majesty again.
When I brought out the good rice, I was shocked by the emperor and the ministers who had returned to the field at that time! They really didn't realize that in just over a month after I left, I had really brought back enough events to relieve the food crisis in Luoyang City...... If it weren't for the sudden arrival of an urgent report from the border, maybe His Majesty the Emperor would have given me another official and a 'reward of ten thousand gold'...... Of course, I know the truth about 'ten thousand gold', and this kind of reward is really not rare.
However, I found that after the emperor and a few court bigwigs circulated the urgent news that had just come, they suddenly looked at me with a strange gaze for a long time, and then~ they actually blasted me out...... Not even a reward. just sent me to put away the grain again, and then asked me to personally escort it to Luoyang City, and then handed it over to Hou Junji and Luoyang County Commander there to deal with...... And this time there was not even an escort of the soldier guards, so I went alone......
I left the palace to find the girl and let her accompany me. Fortunately, I had someone with me on the way. But when I arrived at Cheng's house, I found that this girl was called to the palace again~ Even Cheng bit Jin together. I heard Aunt Cui, the only one in the Cheng family who was at home, say that Cheng Biting Gold and the Award were both announced into the palace by the holy decree in the morning...... In other words, when I was in the main hall just now, Cheng Biting Jin and the award were also there? But I didn't see them! Oh yes, this Aunt Cui is also one of Cheng Yanjin's daughters-in-law. And he is also from the Cui family of Qinghe. And Aunt Pei is the mother of the award~! Now Aunt Pei should still be hanging out there at Niangziguan.
But when I saw Aunt Cui, I remembered the 'little tin fish' that I forgot about outside my mind! This godgirl who was adopted by the award is very loved by the Cheng family. Originally, I wanted her to run around with me~ As a result, after Aunt Cui found out, she took it away directly, saying that there were no juniors at home to surround her knees for the time being, so she felt uncomfortable, so she forcibly took it away...... I just remembered to ask after seeing Aunt Cui just now, but I learned that Aunt Cui had always been with me...... And after mentioning the little tin fish, Aunt Cui also chattered me for a long time, asking me when I would have a biological child with the prize...... In other words, according to the algorithm of later generations, I and the award are still minors.
After escaping for my life and getting rid of Aunt Cui's nagging, I don't want anything else, so I'd better hurry up and finish the errand given by the emperor, and then talk about the rest! Now, I feel more and more that after meeting the emperor today, it seems that the whole court has a very strange attitude towards me......
"Alas! It's a pity that you can't let the people of the girlfriend group out, otherwise it's okay to let them go home and inquire! Forget it, let's send food! I muttered, I didn't even think about going home, so I set off directly towards Luoyang City.
Airplane~ Ah wrong, it's a wooden kite, and it can't be used yet. So I had to drive over. Fortunately, the journey is very familiar. And my cash truck seems to have become well-known between Chang'an and Luoyang. So on the way, whether it was passing through the customs or entering and exiting the city gate, no one came to check my customs clearance paperwork.
When I passed by Hangu Pass on the way, I also wanted to go to Li Chongwu, an acquaintance in the market here. I would like to ask how the sales of honeycomb coal stoves have been recently. After all, assembly line work has begun to appear at home to produce furnaces. After all this time, I should have fulfilled those extra orders! Besides, now that the weather is about to turn cold, I still want to ask Li Chongwu to buy some honeycomb coal. After all, they are all acquaintances, so they must have to take care of some of his business! I'm going to keep some stock on Xiaoyu's turf. I've found that my maids like to have a party both when they're out and at home. So it's better to prepare more charcoal, firewood, honeycomb coal, or other fuels.
But when I came here, I found that Li Chongwu's stall had disappeared. In his place, there is a Hu merchant who is selling the same stove and honeycomb coal~ I'm stupid! How could it be a Hu Shang? What about Li Chongwu?
After asking around the bazaar, I finally got the news of Li Chongwu. It turns out that this guy was not kicked out or bankrupt. But after making a lot of money, he has already gone to Luoyang City to open a store...... Luckily, I've had a few troubles in the market here. So there are still a lot of 'acquaintances' here to inquire about the news.
As for this Hu merchant, he was fooled by Li Chongwu, and then took over Li Chongwu's business and stall in this market at a high price...... In this way, this Li Chongwu is quite a thief! After all, the distance position of this market is awkward. In front is Chang'an City, and in the back is Luoyang City. Therefore, whether it is a foreign merchant or a foreign businessman, in fact, they will only pass by here, and will not stay in this market. Someone in Chang'an City has already rented a stall in the West Market to 'wholesale and retail' the stoves that have been 'purchased' from my Zhuangzi. And Luoyang City now has Li Chongwu, a smart man, who has spread out his stalls in the past. That means that the market here is not only available to locals and people in the vicinity. There won't be any other second-hand dealers coming to buy it...... I don't know how Li Chongwu sold this chicken-ribbed stall to this Hu merchant at a 'high price'......
After finally arriving in Luoyang, the first thing I did was to go to the post station in Luoyang City for a turn. I'm going to take a look at the school yard and see if I can hit the Tower of Reversal again...... Among the enemies I encountered in Nanyang, I always felt that one of them was from their Yin and Yang family. After all, that embroidery is too much like the mark of the Yin and Yang family.
It's a pity that when I arrived at the post station, I went to the school field for several turns, and then took the oxygen cylinder out and walked towards the school field for a long time, and after using up the two oxygen cylinders, I didn't find the gray viscous mist that was oxidized. It seems that the Yin and Yang family is really no longer here.
The next stop is that I can only go to the county office. Actually, I should go to the Hou Junji Mansion, the highest boss stationed in Luoyang City, first. After all, the holy decree given to me is to ask me to hand over all the grain to him first, and then let the Luoyang County Order assist. Together, they distributed the grain to the various granaries that had been empty for a long time.
After I emptied all the granaries last time, the food in Luoyang City has been very tight until now. It was all about transporting grain from all over the country to barely make Luoyang City not short of food for the time being~ But even so, the empty granary still scared the people of Luoyang City. Until now, my 'little concubine' Yuan Fang, she is still carrying the black pot in the Yada Prison in Luoyang City County.
No matter how wary I am against Hou Junji, I am still very wary. After all, I know this guy is going to end badly. So it's better not to get involved. Plus worried about Yuan Fang. So after I got out of the post station, I went directly to the county government to find the county master......
After learning that Yuan Fang was still in prison, he had not been wronged, I was finally relieved. But think about it. No matter how you say it, this girl is also the biological daughter of the local county master. So even if she goes to prison, no one will embarrass her.
After I told the county magistrate about the grain, I was shocked! And I didn't say anything about the fact that the imperial court originally asked me to go to Hou Junji. He directly told the county magistrate that he would hand over all the grain to him.
It's just that the amount of food is too much. I discussed with the county magistrate for a long time before I decided to go to the barracks outside the city and hand over all the grain. There is also a training school that is much larger than the post station. Moreover, when taking out bags of grain, and then letting the local soldiers move to the granaries scattered all over Luoyang City little by little, it can also slightly publicize the news that Luoyang City is no longer short of food...... In this case, neither the people in the city nor the merchants should be worried about food......
I've heard from the county magistrate that since I 'lost' all the food in the city. The people of the whole city have always looked sad! That is, fortunately, this is Luoyang City, which has convenient transportation, and it is very close to Chang'an City. The imperial court has always suppressed the price of grain here and cannot raise it. But even so, the limited supply of food every day still made the people of the whole city depressed...... If they found that a large amount of grain had been escorted from the barracks to the granary, the morale of the whole city would definitely be different! Moreover, the problem of limited food supply can also be directly relaxed......
When I took out the grain like a hill, not only the county magistrate and a bunch of officials who were in the fun looked stupid. Even the soldiers in this barracks were dumbfounded! It should be the first time they have seen so much food piled up...... How long will it take to move this to the granaries all over Luoyang City! I'm tired of the soldiers running errands......
However, when those soldiers were transporting grain to the granary, they all showed a happy look. I don't really know how they feel. But seeing that the people of the whole city also spontaneously approached to watch, the expressions of the people who were becoming more and more surprised, it seemed that the food crisis that had been shrouded in Luoyang City was completely solved! No wonder the county magistrate asked me to take the grain to the barracks outside the city to hand it over, and they escorted it into the city one by one. It turned out to be for the people of the whole city to take a look and let them know that the granary of Luoyang City was full again!
Sure enough, in the evening, the people of the whole city spontaneously held a celebration! Obviously, Luoyang City also has a curfew system.
In addition, Hou Junji, a big man stationed in Luoyang City, only heard about the food I sent when the whole city began to celebrate. Although I don't know exactly what happened at the time. But the next day, this guy actually led someone to block me at the post station. Then just like the last time we met, I also led people to block the gate of the post station and began to scold. It's just that they just won't enter the post station like last time......
"Huh? Could it be that I knew that I deliberately didn't ask him to hand over the food, and then got angry? But~ Do you think I'm afraid of you when I block the door? "I leaned over the wall and glanced at the big guy blocking the door. Then after muttering a word, he found a place where no one was there and slipped out of the post station over the wall...... Where am I wasting time with this guy! Anyway, the food crisis in Luoyang City has been lifted, and the mood of the people in the city has also improved. Then I can take away Yuan Fang, who has been locked up in prison, today!
So after I climbed over the wall and went out, I went straight to the yamen.
As soon as I came to the county office, I found that the county government was now 'opening a court to try the case'. There are still a lot of people watching. It seems that he is 'publicly trialing' someone!
It's just that I'm a little late. Probably because Hou Junji, who blocked the door, still took a lot of my time. So when I passed, there were still many people around and muttering. But there was no one in the courtroom anymore. When asked, I realized that the interrogation had been completed. It's just that I now know that this is a 'public trial' of Yuan Fang!
I hurriedly reported, and then followed the doorman to the back, only to see that Yuan Fang was doing the ritual of 'going to bad luck' in the residence in the backyard of the yamen! It turns out that since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a ritual of burning leaves, sprinkling water, and stepping on the brazier!
However, after asking, I learned that although the public trial had 'forgiven' and released Yuan Fang in court, she was pardoned for her crimes. But a 'dereliction of duty, failure to fulfill duty!' The charge still fell. Although he was released in court. But Yuanfang's identity as a public servant was still 'removed'. Now she's just a civilian. It's not that the only female catcher in Luoyang City is about to catch it.
So I wondered if I should comfort her. As a result, her father~ that is, the master of Luoyang City County, said, "You have already passed the door and become a 'concubine'~ Then hurry up and go to the husband's honest 'women's way'!" ”
I was shocked when I heard this! What does it mean to have 'passed the door'? I don't know!
But before I could explain anything, I was pulled aside by the county master and discussed it in a whisper.
It turned out that there was a reason why he asked Yuan Fang to leave here. In addition to not letting Yuan Fang stay here anymore and being looked down upon, there was also the fact that when Yuan Fang was in a big prison and carrying a black cauldron, someone actually came to assassinate her. So the county magistrate's meaning was to leave here quickly, and he felt that there was an undercurrent surging in the dark. The purpose seems to have something to do with me and Yuan Fang and the inside story of 'Luoyang City's grain was poisoned'...... In his eyes, I, the 'Immortal Disciple', should be very capable and should be able to protect Yuan Fang's safety.
All will urge us to feel the return journey......
Hearing him say this, I remembered that the background of the poisoning was not obvious. In addition, today's incident of Hou Junji blocking the door and scolding is actually very strange. So I believed the words of the county master, that is, another 'old man' of mine, and hurriedly left Luoyang with the concubine Yuan Fang, who had already 'passed the door', and it should be safer to hide in Chang'an......
