This holy decree can clearly say that Li Xie's fief is far away in the Eastern Wilderness Road at the ends of the earth. And when Li Xie entered the mansion, Li Zhanji's holy decree was also: Luotian Mansion does not have a good mansion for the time being, so let him live in Yiwang Mansion temporarily.

This sentence is temporary, but it makes these subordinates scratch their heads. So in Li Xie's palace, these subordinates, but it's really difficult to do, you said that if you listen to this master, if this prince doesn't get this housekeeper off before leaving, then how will these subordinates live after that?

And there is a news that is widely circulated among the subordinates, all of them are the identity of this housekeeper, it seems to be unusual, and the backstage is amazing. When I first came here, when I bought people's hearts, the money was spent like flowing water. What if you didn't have some background?

So to say that Li Xie will definitely be able to get this housekeeper away, these subordinates are also skeptical.

But if you say that you are a housekeeper, this is not in line with etiquette. And they didn't have the courage to disobey the orders of a prince. So everyone simply came to help each other.

Anyway, you are all masters, we will do whatever you call to do. Anyway, what's going on, it's all your two masters' business.

Now although the person who sent the letter is looking for the prince, but didn't the prince not see it, this was stopped by the housekeeper, and the person who opened the door could only tell the housekeeper truthfully.

"Okay, it's not proper for you to go into the backyard alone, I'll tell the prince, you step down and let that person wait." After sending the subordinates away, the housekeeper turned around and left, and the direction of walking was still in the direction of the outside of the house, but he didn't mean to tell Li Xie at all.

There is no order from above, how dare this person enter the backyard with an outsider? Although the person in front of him is often seen, and he is also the person who is the mother of the future who is sure to be the mother.

That's not the reason for them to take or let people into the backyard. So the person who delivered the letter could only stomp his feet in the side room, and he could only stomp his feet in a hurry and get angry? He didn't dare! What is this place? Wang fu!

If these subordinates of the palace beat him up, or even directly handed him over to the people of the government to convict him of trespassing in the palace, these people will also be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and they can't say anything about their suffering.

He waited for half an hour, just when he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to get up and leave. When he left the door, he just bumped into Su Ci who was walking back.

This Li Xie is back, and he wants to rectify this palace again. Then what should I do about this marriage, I still have to do it in this palace, then all the things can only be handled by Su Ci and Huang Yu.

Fortunately, there are people sent by Li Zhanji to help, otherwise this is just because their father and son are now directing the subordinates in the house, they can not handle the wedding of a prince.

Despite the help of the people above, the father and son were still busy and couldn't touch the ground. Even the business of the dock, after letting everyone go south, Su Ci didn't take care of it for a while.

As for the shops in the city, after selling the grain, Su Ci never looked at it again.

After finishing the outside business, I hurried back in a hurry, and bumped into the messenger head-on. If you look closely, you are still acquaintances.

"Shopkeeper Su's help! My young lady has an urgent matter to find the prince, and I came to deliver the letter, but I have been waiting for more than half an hour, and I can't even see the prince's face. As he spoke, his voice was tinged with a crying voice.

When Cao Ying gave the order, he gave the death order, and the letter must be handed over to Li Xie as soon as possible. Although Cao Ying is gentle to people on weekdays, she really punishes her subordinates, which is really an iron-fisted method.

This errand, which was supposed to go smoothly, was delayed for more than half an hour. Seeing that it's getting dark, can he not be in a hurry?

"How unreasonable!" Su Ci scolded and glared fiercely at the doorkeeper next to him. Su Ci is also a person with status in the mansion now, and the gatekeeper was glared at by him like this, and immediately explained in a panic:

"Su is in charge, but it's none of our business. We went in, but the butler stopped us. He said he would tell the prince and kicked me out. The steward's orders, we have to listen to them. ”

Su Ci was laughed at angrily, nodded again and again, and said while nodding, "Okay, it's really good." As he spoke, he grabbed the messenger, waved his sleeves heavily at the two guards, expressed his anger, and then walked straight inside.

Yiwang's Mansion is very large, if Li Xie is in the backyard, let alone what happened in the front yard, even if there is a bomb exploding in the front, he may not know in the back.

So after Su Ci brought people in, Li Xie took out the envelope and took a look. This is a terrible look, and the letter from my father-in-law is clear. Go as soon as possible.

I didn't say anything, I didn't think it was too much of a hurry. At least it's not a life-threatening thing.

Fortunately, it didn't delay the big thing.

Li Xie sighed and was happy at the same time, Li Xie felt that when he came to Cao's house at this time, he must be going to spend the night there, this is going to be spent there for the night, so it's not too much to eat. It's all a family, and it's only a matter of two or three days to get married, so it's not too much to have a meal and the whole family sit at a table.

So this trip is definitely going to be able to meet Cao Ying? Li Xie is quite looking forward to it at this time, looking forward to seeing Cao Ying, Cao Ying's expression, Li Xie believes that it will be very exciting.

With such a fun thing, it is insignificant for the butler to stop it.

Chamberlain?

Who's that?

Do I know him?

Is he related to me?

I should be on my way to Cao's house right now.

Li Xie's soul asked three questions, and then he had an affirmative answer. Although the bull's head is not in the horse's mouth, the above does not match the following. Li Xie felt that it should be like this, and then pulled the messenger and asked people to prepare two fast horses, and rushed to the direction of Cao's house.

After leaving the city gate, you can already only see the afterglow of the setting sun. When he arrived at Cao's house, he couldn't even see the afterglow. Liu Bao waited left and right at Cao's house, thinking that he couldn't wait for anyone, thinking that this day was so vain, and waited for it to pass. But he didn't want it to be after dark, so Li Xie rushed over.

It's already dark, and it's already a little late for dinner. The Cao family didn't let the two of them discuss anything, and directly pulled the two of them to the dinner table.

Because none of the outsiders present were outsiders, one could be regarded as his son-in-law who had only been married for two or three days, and the other was a household servant who had been friends for almost two years, and his own daughter was his daughter's younger sister.

So no matter how you count it, you can't be considered an outsider, so you just don't have any etiquette or anything like that, and everyone gathers at the same table to eat.

Of course, Li Xie is very satisfied with this arrangement. At the time of the meal, Li Xie stared at Cao Ying vigorously. Occasionally, when she was annoyed and angry, Cao Ying would glared at Li Xie fiercely, and then gave him a roll of the eyes.

In the eyes of others, this move is undoubtedly a very delicious relationship between the two people, and they don't forget to flirt during a meal. So Cao's father is happy, his son-in-law and his daughter have a good relationship, and he, the old father, is of course happy to see it.

As for what pig arched his own cabbage, look at the pig that is not pleasing to the eye. In the Cao family, there will be no such thing, after all, the cabbage is already old and a little toothy, if it doesn't come out and arch one at this time, I'm afraid this cabbage will rot in the ground.

Yes, it's an old cabbage, in this era when a woman can marry at the age of 15 and 18 years old is considered a late marriage, Cao Ying is 23 years old this year, can it not be regarded as an old cabbage?

After eating a meal, Cao Ying really couldn't stand the eyes of her family and Li Xie. Pulling Liu Xiaobao to say goodbye to everyone in a hurry and returned to his boudoir.

And Liu Bao began to explain the reason why he brought Li Xie here.

When Li Xie heard this, it turned out that it was because of this matter, nodded and began to analyze the current situation for him.

It was also his expectation that such a situation would occur in places far beyond Luo Tianfu. If the grain is already concentrated at one point, then there will definitely be a shortage of food in other places, let alone in such a famine year.

"At the beginning, I told Your Majesty that I would solve the situation in Luotianfu first, after all, this is the capital of a country, and the situation here is the most important, and there can be no chaos here. So my plan was to gather all the food from other places here.

This is also expected to happen in the pursuit of profit. Besides, I also played a game of chess outside, and snatched up all the grain that was being shipped out. ”

Li Xie did not hide it at all, there would be such a situation outside, and he was a culprit.

"No wonder, I said, why are the prices of grain here so low that none of those merchants have shipped them out."

Liu Bao understood why the price of grain here has dropped again and again, but no one has shipped grain out.

"So if you're going to buy their grain, you can do it openly. But it won't work out very well, so you don't have to get your hopes up. After all, if I do such a thing, most people will know about it, and if they don't know it, they will also analyze it, there must be a big force that prevents food from being shipped out. After a little analysis, how many such forces can there be? It's nothing more than the royal family and those big families.

I believe you can also see that although the food on the market is sold in the name of commercial houses, most of it is released by the family.

If they are cheated, they will definitely not be cheated again, so if you want to buy grain in the name of the imperial court, you can't buy much. It is estimated that those families who have been pitted, unless they are really short of silver to a certain extent, even if they rot the grain in their warehouse, they will not buy it for you. The price you don't give can be as high as it gets, but then it won't be worth the loss. ”

Liu Bao didn't know what to say when he heard this, Li Xie kept believing that he could see that the grain was all taken out and sold by the family. But Liu Bao is real, and he didn't see it much.

Of course, Liu Bao didn't see it, not because he was really that stupid, but because the situation in the court made him not think in that direction at all. Li Zhanji is now in a fierce fight with those families, and to be honest, he sent two groups of people to take off their official uniforms and go into battle naked.

Besides, he knew all about the family's trading houses, and none of the newly opened shops selling grain were under the hands of the family.

"Then I really can't get food?"

"That's not the case, haven't you been getting food all the time? I'll just keep taking it in this form, and I'll figure out how to do the rest. "The only source of food now is south of the Dragon River. To boast about the Dragon River, it is not easy even for those big families.

Moreover, the south of the Dragon River is called the Southern Wilderness, which also has a certain reason. The average population there is more than half that north of the Zhilong River. However, the climate there is excellent, and rice can be grown.

Therefore, every year the grain there is not used up, and those landed families there are all big food households. And it needs to be said that the rebel rebellion was in the south north of the Dragon River, so there was no war over there.

I haven't experienced any disasters and wars, and now I'm afraid that every family has a lot of food. The family is powerful, but it is impossible to clean up all the grain.

In fact, Li Xie estimated that more than half of the grain they have now was hoarded by their own families, and a small half was purchased by them from the south, which can be seen from the fact that they sold old grain.

Because to buy grain from the south, you have to cross the Dragon River by water, and in this era when the wharf is not important. Even if shipping is not developed, and you can't build too big a shipbuilding.

Because large ships can be used in the military, the imperial court has explicitly promulgated that private individuals are not allowed to build large ships with more than 100 people.

Li Xie's Xicheng can have the scale it has today, in addition to his unique business idea. Another point is that he cooperated with Shangwei.

What is Business Hygiene?

It was run by the royal family, in other words, he was from the imperial court. When Li Xie's business was getting bigger and bigger, the boats on his dock were also changed batch after batch, and they were getting bigger and bigger, and now the largest can carry 200 people.

Li Xie's Xicheng Wharf can do such a thing, but those families can't. So for those families, you can't transport much food at a time.

By land, you can transport a lot of food at one time, but you can lose a lot of food from the bumps in the road. And you have to go around in a big circle, not to mention the time and effort, and the loss of manpower is even more manpower.

At least one trip will take half a year, and the famine here has only just begun, and even if they have time to go to the south to collect grain, they will not be able to transport it.

And the reason why Li Xie dares to boast about this Haikou now is because when he was planning the price of grain in the shopping mall, he had already asked people to go to the south to buy grain.

Of course, when Li Xie did these things, he would definitely not be able to escape Shang Wei's eyes, so Li Zhanji must have known it. In this way, it can also explain why he has so much confidence: there is already a famine outside, and it has reached this level, and he still has the leisure to hurry up and finish the recital, and steal half a day of leisure.

It would explain why there had been a famine outside for so long. Liu Bao's progress in harvesting grain was so slow, he only received a few words of scolding, and did not punish too much.

Li Xie knows all this, but he won't say it at this time. Liu Bao now has a look on his face that is about to fall out, and he has already given Li Xie the answer, although the person in front of him is a household servant, but he doesn't seem to know much.

Li Xie did not have an in-depth understanding of the open and secret struggles above the court. So he wouldn't know if the Tobe squire in front of him was not told the truth because he was not trusted enough. Or because Li Zhanji didn't want to tell everyone the truth, so he didn't tell it.

"King, this is no joke! With so much food, where do you go to prepare? "It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I can't believe it. This is not the food of dozens or thousands of people, but the food of hundreds of thousands of people. And not for a day or two, but for months.

"You don't have to worry about that, trust me, and you didn't find out? Your Emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Li Xie wouldn't tell the truth anyway, but he accidentally dug a hole very easily.

Of course, Li Xie said that he definitely didn't mean it, and he dug holes everywhere today. was also frozen and pit his daughter-in-law, Li Xie said that he dug it too easily.

"It's ......" Li Xie didn't say, he didn't think so. When Li Xie said this now, Liu Bao really felt strange.

Li Zhanji is not a good-tempered person, in the past, when such things happened, when preparing food, he gave a death order, and you had to raise as much as I could, but now this is not the case. Every time he went to the palace to face the saint, Liu Bao could clearly feel that Li Zhanji didn't seem to like seeing him.

Each time, he let him leave after a few hurried words, as if he was very bored with himself. Originally, I thought it was distressing that I should report it, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Hey......" Liu Bao sighed, with both a relieved look and a guilty look on his face. But in the end, he didn't say anything, but his spirit suddenly became a lot more decadent.

Li Xie looked at his pit as if it had been dug too deep, and just as he wanted to explain, there was a very loud noise outside.

"What's the noise?" Father Cao sat in the first place, seeing that Liu Bao's demeanor was not quite right, and coupled with Li Xie's words, he also guessed something.

Seeing Liu Bao's decadent appearance, he felt quite different in his heart, so he heard the noisy sound outside, and suddenly asked unhappily.

"The villain is going to ask." As he spoke, he ran out.

After a while, before the person who had gone to ask the question returned, someone ran back panting and running back in a panic.

"It's not good, master, someone came in with a knife."
