Chapter Seventy-Five: Disaster
"Recently, although we have prayed for rain, there are still many places where people can't eat."
Seeing Mu Yan happily playing with the parrot, Mu Guichen slowly spoke up.
Looking at Mu Guichen with a side face, Rong Xi bit her lip gently, she was clear, after all, she occasionally accompanied Mu Yan to deal with political affairs, and often heard the influx of disaster victims from other places.
"On that day, the mourning family asked Lu Qi to take some jewelry, and wanted to do his best to ......"
Rong Xi opened her mouth, she couldn't take out much, and she couldn't save so many people across the country.
"I understand, the Queen Mother cares about the people of the world, and it can be seen from praying for rain."
With a slight bow, Mu Guichen slowly lowered his gaze to her, and Rong Xi sighed softly.
"It's a pity that the mourning family wants to help, but they can't help much."
Rong Xi blamed herself a little for being the queen mother, but she couldn't help the people of the whole country, if only she could bring modern and mature technology over, it's a pity.
"I'm afraid the Queen Mother doesn't know, recently, many victims have poured into the capital."
Mu Guichen's tone was long, and he said lightly.
"Flooding into the capital?"
Surprised echo, Rong Xi said, and saw Mu Guichen take a fold from the table and hand it to her.
After glancing at the fold, Rong Xi met his eyes.
I didn't want to let her touch a little political affairs before, but now I gave her the fold, could it be a temptation?
Thinking of this, Rong Xi didn't take over.
Mu Guichen saw that she didn't take it, so he opened it by himself and read: "Recently, there has been a surge of disaster victims in the capital, and many ministers have come up with a twist, hoping that the imperial court can come up with an idea. ”
"That'...... Can you think of it? ”
She asked cautiously, one foot tentative in political affairs.
"I can only open a porridge stall to give those people a food and clothing, but it can't last too long." Mu Guichen said in a low voice.
The most suitable thing to do in this matter is nothing more than Rong Xi, Rong Xi heard this, and nodded.
"Very well, teach me this."
She took it, thinking that she could finally do this to help.
Because of this incident, Rong Xi has more things, and he is not as boring as before.
As soon as he returned to the Jiaofang Palace, Rong Xi arranged to set up a stall and purchase food.
Naturally, the cheaper the grain, the better, but it has to be missing catties and quality, and it has to be compared everywhere and the reference price.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly finalized the purchase list and submitted it to Rong Xi for review.
Rong Xi looked at the list handed over by the Internal Affairs Office, frowned slightly, and allocated so many silver taels, but only got so little white rice.
"What's going on? How is it so little? ”
Putting down the purchase list, Rong Xi looked at Gonggong Chen in the Internal Affairs Office with a cold face.
Gonggong Chen heard Rong Xi's question, and replied unhurriedly: "The Queen Mother may not know that there is a shortage of soldiers outside, let alone white rice, even brown rice is extremely difficult to buy. ”
Looking at Gonggong Chen below, Rong Xi's face darkened.
"One, two, four? Father-in-law Chen, do you really want to mourn the family and don't know that the Chinese white rice outside is only nine dollars and two cents and six cents at most? What less store do you use to suppress the mourning family! ”
Sweeping the list on the table in front of Gonggong Chen, Rong Xi's chest rose and fell slightly with anger, they really deceived her.
Afraid that this group of people from the Internal Affairs Office would come to deceive, Rong Xi had already asked Lu Qi to ask the price, and corruption in the palace was not uncommon!
This time the disaster was ahead, but they were still like this, which really made Rong Xi angry!
Gonggong Chen sighed in his heart, and quickly knelt down, knowing that he had committed a crime.
"The Queen Mother forgives the sins, the Queen Mother forgives the sins!"
He begged for mercy, Rong Xi didn't even look at him, she turned a blind eye before, but it doesn't mean that she will continue now.
"There are so many bold people in this palace, if you don't kill chickens and monkeys, you don't know how powerful the mourning family is!"
Rong Xi let go, Gonggong Chen hit her gun, and when Gonggong Chen heard it, he fainted directly.
Seeing Gonggong Chen's movements, Rong Xi raised his chin and signaled: "Come on, drag it down, and the cane will be punished with thirty boards." ”
On the ground, Gonggong Chen's face changed, and his eyelashes trembled slightly in fright.
Gonggong Chen was carried out, and the desolate cry resounded throughout the Jiaofang Palace, and for a while, the matter of Gonggong Chen spread everywhere in the palace, and Rong Xi's majesty in the palace was also completely established!
There were people who wanted to fool Rong Xi, and when they thought of the fate of Gonggong Chen, they all put away their thoughts.
The matter of procurement was handed over to another Yuan Gonggong of the Internal Affairs Office, and Yuan Gonggong took the list with trepidation, and honestly added everything according to the purchase price, which was a lot.
Seeing this, Rong Xi rewarded the money, and Yuan Gonggong also accepted it happily.
Lu Qi was a little puzzled, not knowing what she meant.
"Silly girl, I want everyone in the palace to know that I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, as long as you are loyal to me, then I will not live up to your loyalty."
Rong Xi sprinkled the fish feed, and all the goldfish in the pond swam over, scrambling to eat.
"I see."
Nodding slightly, Lu Qi looked at Rong Xi, only to feel that Rong Xi was getting more and more different from before.
"Are all things planned for tomorrow?"
Rong Xi still asked Lu Qi with some anxiety, there will be porridge tomorrow, but don't have anything wrong.
"Don't worry, mother, it's all arranged." Lu Qi responded.
In the matter of soup porridge, it is rare for the queen mother to do it herself, but early the next morning, Rong Xi arranged for Lu Qi to change her into a plain dress, disguised as a palace maid, and went out of the palace to give alms.
When I came to the porridge stall, there was already a long queue, and everyone had the word desire written on their faces.
Rong Xi looked at these people, and his heart ached slightly.
"Miss."
Lu Qi woke up gently, Rong Xi retracted her gaze, bowed her head slightly and walked to the porridge stall, rolled up her sleeves, and when she was about to get started, a pair of white and slender hands reached out in front of her and took the scoop.
"Hey......"
She stopped with a voice, and her eyes fell on the man's face, slightly stunned.
"Ben...... I'll do it. ”
Mu Guichen saw her stunned appearance, as if he was surprised that he was here, he robbed her of her job, and began to add porridge to the people in front of him.
"Thank you, thank you."
Seeing the porridge, the man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly thanked him.
I don't know how long I was hungry, but when I finally saw the food, how could I be unhappy?
"No, you don't."
Mu Guichen spoke softly, and seeing that Rong Xi hadn't moved yet, he said, "Come back to your senses." ”
The two short words fell to Rong Xi's ears, and Rong Xi only felt that his ears were gone.
