A brother is a brother.

It seems that those rights and wrongs, and the grievances of predecessors, lie in front of Wu Laojiu, Wu Laoten, and the Wu family brothers, but after all, they are brothers who have been fishing in a pot since they were children and sleeping in a pit.

Over the years, we have experienced so many ups and downs together, how can we be separated and become enemies because of a few words of right and wrong?

The pair of two-way Wu Lao Shi's outstretched arms have already given the answer.

Brothers, brothers! If you live up to your brother in the future, then why bother with the past?

Pulled up Wu Lao Shi, and everyone returned to the palace of Changning County side by side.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw that Princess Taiping was already waiting for them in the mansion.

When Her Royal Highness our princess saw Wu Qi return to his former relaxed state, she knew that he should have passed this hurdle.

Immediately, he smiled proudly at Wu Ning and showed off: "What? Hongu just said, right? Lao Shi is not a casual fool, what is wrong with telling him earlier? ”

glanced at Wu Qi again, "Even if you can't stand it, as long as you slap it down, you will be sober!" ”

“......”

“......”

Wu Laojiu and Wu Laoshi are both black lines on their faces.

Wu Ning is really weak-hearted, Taiping's "filial piety under the stick" to Wu Qiang, although it is simple and rude, but who would have thought that she would really be right.

And Wu Qi was speechless at this time, after all, it was not a glorious thing to let Taiping slap him.

"Your Highness...."

"Can we... Don't talk about it anymore? ”

"Why didn't you mention it!?" Taiping turned cold and said indignantly, "From now on, you have to call me Imperial Sister!" When the sister teaches the younger brother, that is a matter of course! ”

glared at Wu Qi, "Listen to your ninth brother's words in the future, and then make the little temperament make trouble for him, and see how this palace teaches you!" ”

“......”

Wu Qi had nothing to say again, and muttered in his heart, when Wu Laojiu was your younger brother, it didn't seem to be this treatment?

Looking up at Wu Ning, he complained meaningfully, "Brother Jiu, why don't you ...... Can we exchange them? ”

"Huh?"

Wu Ning's expression was a little dazed, and when Wu Lao Shi called him like this, he came back to his senses.

A little flustered replied: "Forget it, don't change it, it's better for you to come, it's not easy to be her younger brother!" ”

"Hahaha......" the brothers laughed.

......

The words were a joke for the occasion, but Wu Ning was obviously a little absent-minded when he answered.

Taiping and Wu Lao Shi, including the Wu family brothers, as well as Meng Daoye, all saw Wu Ning's strangeness.

Taiping asked out loud: "Lao Jiu, do you have anything else?" ”

"Whew......" Wu Ning sighed.

Now everyone has no suspicions, and there is no need for him to deliberately hide anything, so he said honestly: "Yes, and it is not one." ”

"......" everyone looked puzzled.

Wu Ning also stopped selling Guanzi and explained to everyone: "First, it is the situation of the fourth uncle. ”

"Wu Chengsi has already said that he will send officers and soldiers to exterminate Du Laofeng. His words are true, and most of them will make moves in the near future. ”

"In this way, the situation of the four uncles is in danger."

Everyone was stunned, and the atmosphere immediately became solemn.

was silent for a long time, but Meng Cangsheng opened his mouth first: "This is not a big problem, I will personally go and take your four uncles to our long road dart bureau, and hide them for the time being." ”

Wu Ning thought about it, and there was only one way at the moment.

Seeing Wu Ning nodded, Meng Cangsheng did not hesitate, turned around and went back to the room to pack his bags, and prepared to leave Beijing early tomorrow morning and go south.

After Meng Daoye left, Wu Ning's brows still didn't stretch.

Everyone was even more curious, "Lao Jiu, what's the matter?" ”

I saw Wu Ning looking at the night outside the hall and muttering: "The problem of the imperial court is the biggest problem at the moment, the great wilderness is coming, I hope I can get through this hurdle!" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned, "The great wilderness is coming?" ”

A question mark rose in everyone's hearts, "Where did this great famine come from?" ”

"Lao Jiu, are you mistaken?"

Wu Qi opened his mouth and said: "I have seen the work reports of various state officials this year, and they all say that it is a rare good year, how can there be a great famine?" ”

I heard Wu Ning say helplessly: "It is precisely because of this that this famine is even more ferocious!" ”

.....

————————

In the following days, as Wu Ning expected, Wu Chenghe's favorite son who was behind the pot let Wu Changlu die like this, how could he give up?

Within a few days, Wu Chengsi really sent 20,000 forbidden troops to the dense forests of Xiangxi to exterminate Wu Changlu.

And just before the forbidden army arrived, Meng Daoye took a step forward to Dulao Peak.

However, what Dao Ye didn't expect was that he actually pounced.

Not only the cottage on the old peak, but also the Miao village under the peak, has already been empty.

In this regard, Meng Daoye did not have too many worries.

Thinking about it, Wu Changlu expected that Wu Chenghei would retaliate, and after killing Wu Yanxiu, he took everyone and abandoned the village.

As for where you went, it doesn't matter, as long as the person is alive, the long road dart game is not afraid that it will not be found.

On the other hand, Wu Ning's so-called "Great Wilderness" has finally revealed its clues.

And this exposure doesn't matter, it can be said that it is a shock, and the sea is overwhelmed, and it almost ruined the Changlong world of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

......

It is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been smooth in recent years, and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are even more docile and disaster-free, and it is impossible to have any great famine.

However, as Wu Ning was worried, the year of the Great Wilderness had really come.

In August, that is, a few days after Wu Lao Shi had just seen who he was, without warning, the Chang'an Eight Tank Supervisor reported a bad news.

That is, in the past three months, the amount of the trough tax has been sharply reduced by nearly half.

This scared Wu Chenghe, the prince of the prison state, half to death.

You must know that although the revenue of trough transportation accounts for a small proportion of the imperial court's finances, it has the role of predicting the livelihood of the people in Chang'an.

To put it mildly, Chang'an is a super-large city that needs external blood transfusion. As I said before, relying on Chang'an's own local ecological cycle, it is impossible to feed this giant with a population of nearly two million.

Whether it is grain, rice, salt tea, or people's livelihood department stores, they all have to rely on external supply.

And the main transportation channel for these necessities of people's livelihood to enter Chang'an is Caoyun.

So, what does the halving of the tax mean?

Description: In the past three months, the external supply to Chang'an has been reduced by nearly half.

Is this worth it?

There is no need to visit the streets, Wu Chengsi knows that there is a big problem in Chang'an.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

In the past three months, as the external supply has plummeted, there has been a shortage of goods in various shops in the city.

Some smaller shops even had to close their doors because they had no goods to sell.

All of a sudden, prices in Chang'an City soared, and the people complained.

......

In just three months, prices in Chang'an have risen by nearly 50%. If left unchecked, prices will rise even more rapidly in the future.

Faced with such a situation, how could Wu Chengsi not break out in a cold sweat? Urgently recruit the heads of departments to discuss countermeasures.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people of Chang'an, the imperial court urgently ordered merchants from various states to transport goods to Chang'an to solve the shortage of materials in Chang'an.

However, it was too late.

The order went down, but it had no effect, and the number of merchant ships transporting goods to Chang'an not only did not increase, but on the contrary, there was a tendency to decrease.

You must know that Chang'an has a population of nearly 2 million, and you can imagine how amazing the consumption is.

In the past month, there has been no bulk goods brought in, coupled with huge consumption, the shortage of materials in Chang'an City has become more and more serious, and some daily necessities have reached the point of rushing.

By September, the trough tax had been reduced by another seventy percent, and there were almost no merchant ships coming and going above Weishui.

At this time, Chang'an, it is no longer that prices are soaring, but in addition to the fact that there is no shortage of grain due to the benefits of this year's Guanlong grain production, the rest of the department stores related to people's livelihood such as silk, tea, salt, and porcelain are almost all cut off from tribute, and the people's grievances are boiling.

Moreover, the abundance of food is only temporary.

Think about it, 1.8 million mouths waiting to eat! If the Hebei Prefectures and the lands south of the Yangtze River do not transport grain to Beijing, then Chang'an City will have to have a famine in less than two months.

The great wilderness is coming, and Wu Ning has become a prophecy.

The year of the Great Wilderness is really coming!

......
