Xu Xianchun straightened his flying fish suit and said in a straight voice.

"Accept Your Majesty's entrustment to buy food for the army. It's just that some shops in the city resisted, blaming the lack of food in the shops, and so far they have only raised less than 20,000 catties."

Xu Xianchun's words were not finished here, and Wu Xun, who was standing on the side, was furious. As everyone knows, most of the shops in the city are their own property. And with their own secret information, it is simply impossible to sell grain, especially at such a low price.

"Your Majesty, the capital has been besieged for more than half a month, and the grain in the shops has naturally been bought out by the people in the city, and more than 20,000 catties of grain can be raised, which is already a large amount."

British Gong Zhang Weixian, as the boss of Wuxun, naturally wants to stand up and speak, not to mention that this matter is also his own lead.

"The British duke is very familiar with these shops, and even came forward to intercede for them in person"?

Xu Xianchun, who was incarnated as Xu Xianchun, said with a sneer, causing the other bigwigs to look at him coldly one by one, allowing Xu Xianchun and the British Duke to talk about it.

"This is a talk of life experience, presumably Xu Jian makes high-ranking officials generous, and every day is accompanied by wine and delicacies, singers, and naturally does not know the hard work of the people."

Zhang Weixian was dismissive.

"If you want to talk about high-ranking officials, the British Duke is the hereditary replacement of Emperor Chengzu's Qinfeng. It is also the governor of the capital of the five armies, and this time the siege of the city was built, and the British Palace should have personally led the men and horses to exterminate it, why did he see the British Duke roaring in the court."

Xu Xianchun's words suddenly choked Zhang Weixian speechless, Jingying had long been rotten into a pile of minced meat, and it had become a place for Xunguimen to collect money.

"What Xu Jian's envoy said seems to be untargeted, I don't know if it's a mistake or what's the situation, I remember that the west gate of Beijing seems to be guarded by my Jingying people, and even repelled the subordinates of Azig, the king of Jiannu Wuyingjun, and killed hundreds of Jiannu."

Another noble standing in the train walked out, and after saluting Zhu Youxiao with a fist, he turned around and looked at Xu Xianchun and said it word by word.

Zhang Weixian looked at it gratefully, and then remembered that his own business was indeed out of the horse, although he said that he didn't know how many thousands of households were drawn out, but he was out of the horse.

"If it weren't for those business soldiers of Simon, they wouldn't have been able to enter Xu Jian's magic eye."

The current Zhang Weixian is chasing after Xu Xianchun by taking advantage of the loopholes in his paintings, and he must not let him find trouble with his business house again.

Xu Xianchun was obviously dumbfounded, and secretly regretted that he had nothing to say about Jingying.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was originally full of interest, but he was speechless when he was made by Xu Xianchun's words. Seeing Xu Xianchun standing in the court, he could only relieve the siege on the side.

"I already know about the brave resistance of the Jingying to the Jiannu, and I will definitely reward the Jiannu after they retreat, and now we are talking about the issue of grain and grass."

Zhang Weixian glanced at Zhu Youxiao, and when he saw that his emperor had already spoken like this, he was a little helpless and retreated.

Xu Xianchun continued to talk about grain and grass.

Pay attention when you say this, and obviously glared at Xu Xianchun with your eyes, suggesting that Xu Xianchun should not say anything else.

Xu Xianchun, who knew that he had done something wrong, shrank his head, knowing that if he was fooling around again, it was very likely that the emperor would be dissatisfied, so he directly told the results of his investigation.

"Your Majesty, the shops in the city are all trying to excuse the lack of food, but according to the results of Weichen's investigation, each of them has no less than hundreds of thousands of catties."

"Huh? Is it because you are robbing and selling and arousing their disgust"?

"Your Majesty, even if you borrow 10 guts from your ministers, you will not dare to go against Your Majesty's will, and there is also the presence of Lord Guo, the head of the household department, if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can summon Lord Guo to come."

Guo Yunhou, who had just entered the city, sneezed inexplicably, touched his nose, and thought that he was sick from a cold, not knowing that he had already been pulled out by Xu Xianchun as a shield.

"Go and recruit Guo Yunhou into the palace immediately, I have to ask you in person, if you dare to deceive me ......."

Xu Xianchun and Zhu Youxiao played a double reed in the Fengtian Palace, but the nobles standing on the side scratched their ears and cheeks anxiously, and constantly signaled Zhang Weixian, who was standing at the front, with their eyes.

It's just that Zhang Weixian is also upset at this time, where is there time to care for everyone's mood. You must know that the largest shop in the capital is opened by your own family, and I don't know if Xu Xianchun went to his own shop to find trouble.

Guo Yunhou, who had just entered the city and had not had time to catch his breath, received Zhu Youxiao's holy decree, and rushed to Fengtian Hall in a hurry.

looked at the people in the court, it didn't seem to have changed much, and then his heart calmed down, knowing that Xu Xianchun was not in too much of a hurry.

"Guo Yunhou asked you and Xu Xianchun to fight for food for the army outside the city, and I will ask you for the time being, did Xu Xianchun force the shops to buy and buy."

Seeing Guo Yunhou, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to have another incident, and looked at Guo Yunhou with a stern face.

"No, there is nothing wrong with Xu Jian's purchase of grain according to His Majesty's requirements."

Guo Yunhou, who still didn't understand the specific situation, could only answer truthfully.

"Then why are they reluctant to sell grain and the court, don't they know the truth of cold lips and teeth? Once Jiannu enters the capital, how will they live in peace."

Zhu Youxiao showed a very confused expression.

"Huh? How do I say that?"

Guo Yunhou looked at Zhu Youxiao, who was on the dragon chair with a bitter face, and skimmed the nobles standing next to him, only to find that he really couldn't afford to provoke anyone, so he could only keep his mouth shut, wanting to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows".

Xu Xianchun, who was beside Guo Yunhou, thought about it for so long, and found a way again in his heart.

"Let's talk about it".

Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to have any hope, he didn't raise his head, and waved his hand directly.

"Your Majesty said that the price of grain is higher than the price of the first layer of the market to buy from them, but as far as the minister knows, the price of grain has doubled now, I don't know how many times. They are taking advantage of the siege of the city by building slaves, wantonly looting the people's fat and ointment, and even forcing many people in the city to sell their children and daughters for food, just to survive."

"What"?

This is not Zhu Youxiao's pretend, but he was really shocked, he never thought that the city had reached such a point, and he needed to let the people sell their children and daughters, and even change their children to eat, you must know that you set the grain of the Four Seas Commercial Bank at the usual price, how could there be so many people who can't buy it, could it be that Li Fumin is doing something in secret?

"What about the government, could it be that the government is blind to this matter and allows them to do so."

For Zhu Youxiao, who lives in the new era, he never thought of it. The historical legend that Yi Zi ate will appear under his own rule.

"Your Majesty, even if the government wants to manage it, it doesn't dare to take care of it, because the people behind that group of merchants are all over the world."
