The eunuch shouted that something was wrong, Di Renjie, Cen Changqian, and Dou Luqin looked at each other, and said in their hearts, what's wrong? We're also talking about big things!

However, looking at it like this, Mrs. Wu seems to be in a hurry.

What to do? Check it out!

As a result, he went and did not come back.

————————

"How so? How so? ”

When the three of them went directly to the palace and saw Wu Zetian, the old lady was going around in front of the palace.

"See Your Majesty! Your Majesty has summoned me to come, what is the matter? ”

"See for yourselves!" Wu Zetian didn't say a word, and threw a few copies of the music in front of the three of them.

Di Renjie took a closer look.

Yizhou Songbao: The price of grain in Yizhou has soared, all industries are blocked, the Yangtze River waterway is closed, and the Jiange Shu Road is blocked.

Probably this means that Yizhou's grain goods can't come out or get in, and the price of grain goods is soaring, and it looks like chaos is about to happen.

“”

Di Renjie was speechless for a while, this is no disaster and no famine, which food price has risen?

But, despite this, he didn't take it seriously.

The rise in food prices is not a disaster year, there is only one possibility, and that is the hoarding of merchants.

Moreover, this speculative trip will not last long. Grain is expensive here, and grain merchants from other places naturally see business opportunities and transport grain to Yizhou. There is no need for the imperial court to come forward at all, and it will not take long for it to be difficult to solve.

Let's look at the second one.

Yangzhou came to report: Jianghuai grain prices have soared, and bandits are rampant, resulting in a delay in taxes and silver this spring. Looking at the imperial court's holy permission, the spring ploughing tax and the autumn tax are allowed to be sent to the Beijing Division.

“”

Well, Di Fatzi still nodded indifferently, Jianghuai has also raised the price of grain? And the waterways are blocked, and the tax money can't be transported?

Still didn't take it seriously.

Di Renjie also advised Wu Zetian, "Your Majesty, don't worry! I think it was the long road dart bureau that gathered people to go west, which caused the dart affairs in various places to be empty, and let the bandits take advantage of the loopholes, so that this result was achieved. ”

It's no secret that Chang'an's Long Road Dart Bureau has been closed for more than half a month.

There is no way, the dart master let Wu Laojiu take him away, and he can't dart.

However, Di Renjie's words of consolation obviously could not satisfy Wu Zetian, "You go on!" ”

Well, Di Renren had no choice but to continue reading the third part.

In Quanzhou, the shore silver of the sea trade could not enter Beijing, and the waterway was blocked, so it did not dare to transship.

Moreover, Quanzhou has also seen the price increase of department stores, and the people's livelihood is gradually boiling.

Fourth, Xiangzhou.

Xiangzhou is also in trouble?

Di Renjie finally didn't calm down, and his whole person tensed.

"It's broken, Your Majesty!" Shaking the four parts, "What's the matter"

"It's all wrong!?"

Yizhou, Yangzhou, Quanzhou, Xiangzhou, plus a Chang'an, which were the five major transportation hubs of the Great Zhou Dynasty and also an important commercial town.

Yizhou is connected to the southwest trade, as well as the output of Bashu products. The wealth is second only to Yangzhou, and the status is self-evident.

Yangzhou is the first town of Jianghuai, where the silk tea, grain and rice in the south of the Yangtze River are gathered, which is more prosperous than Yizhou.

Quanzhou is an emerging city, mainly engaged in maritime trade, and is the largest port in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And Xiangzhou, which is an important hub connecting Hanzhong, Jinghu and Hedong.

In this way, of the five most important states in the Great Zhou, only one of the most important states in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chang'an, the center of trade with the states of the Western Regions, is still too peaceful?

Well, Chang'an has long since stopped cooking.

Because of the Tibetan people's attack on Yangguan at the beginning of the year, trade in the Western Regions has been suspended for nearly half a year and has not yet resumed.

In other words, now that the five major towns of the Great Zhou Dynasty have all been suspended, it is no wonder that Wu Zetian is in a hurry to become like this.

What's even worse is that now Hezhou is fighting a decisive battle with the Tubo people, and its grain and grass logistics are all out of Xiang and Xiang.

If something goes wrong in these two states and affects the war in River State, then something will be a big problem.

"Your Majesty!" Di Renjie, Cen Changqian, and Dou Lu Qinwang glanced at each other.

The heart said, let's not think about anything else, let's do what is in front of us!

"Your Majesty, for today's plan, the imperial court needs to quickly send six courtiers to the states to appease the people and rectify the evil merchants."

Well, Di Renjie is still loyal in the final analysis, let him ignore the country and usurp the throne, he still can't do it.

Speak out immediately and solve the crisis.

But unexpectedly, Wu Zetian shook his head, "The weight of the officials of the six departments is no longer enough!" ”

"Huh?"

The three of them looked at each other, what do you mean?

I only heard Wu Zetian said: "Didn't a few Aiqing find out?" Chang'an City has been in Chang'an City for nearly half a month, and it has not been in the grain ship. ”

"What!?" The three of them were stunned, "How can this be!?" ”

Chang'an, a giant city with a population of nearly 2 million, is far from enough to produce grain close to Guanzhong, so it must rely on blood transfusions from various states to operate normally.

Didn't come to the grain ship for half a month? This is going to be a big problem.

I only heard Wu Zetian said: "This shows that the Great Zhou waterway has been completely paralyzed." Even if the officials of the six ministries are put down, they may not be able to see miraculous results. ”

looked at Xiang Sanren, "So, it has to be a humerus minister, a person who is decisive, you can't do it!" ”

"Di Qing!"

"The old minister is here!"

"I will appoint you as the patrol envoy of Shannan Province, and go to Yizhou to stabilize the people's livelihood to ensure that the military needs in the northwest are not lost!"

"Cen Qing, you go to Xiangzhou. It is imperative to stabilize food prices and dredge waterways. ”

"Doulu Aiqing, you go to Yangzhou. Jiangnan is the granary of the world, and there must be no loss! ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The ministers will accept the order and will not live up to Your Majesty's entrustment." ”

After saluting, the three of them did not hesitate, and hurriedly withdrew from the palace and prepared to go to the states to quell the chaos.

And when they left, the old lady was still frowning, still wondering, who to send to Quanzhou to clean up the mess?

After thinking about it for a long time, there was really no reliable person, and when I turned around, I saw Shangguan Wan'er, "Or, Wan'er let's go!" ”

Shangguan Xiaowan heard it, "Me? ”

I was about to excuse myself, but I thought about it

"Your Majesty, Wan'er is a daughter after all, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. However, there is a choice for concubines. ”

"Who?"

"Ten Thousand Years Order, Mu Zi Period!"

"Oh?" Wu Zetian frowned, "Why is he?" ”

Wu Laojiu's side hasn't moved yet, and Wu Qi can only stay in the capital, and it's not suitable to go out.

I only heard Shangguan Wan'er say: "Your Majesty, you think, after all, Mu Ziqi came out of the Long Road Dart Bureau." This time, bandits were everywhere, the river was blocked, and in the final analysis, it was still the long road dart bureau that could not open the bodyguard to protect the goods. ”

"If he goes, it will probably work wonders."

“”

Old Lady Wu pondered for a moment, feeling that what Shangguan Wan'er said made sense.

However, Wu Ning is fighting with her and letting Wu Qi out, is it really good?

I don't know, Shangguan Wan'er fought with this idea.

She was afraid that Wu Ning would really have a hot head and be an enemy of the old lady, so wouldn't Wu Qi be dangerous in Chang'an?

Therefore, it is true that Wu Qi must be sent away quickly.

The old lady thought for a long time, and finally said: "Mu Ziqi is still young after all, and I still don't feel at ease if he is asked to take on this important task alone." ”

"Or," the old lady looked at Shangguan Wan'er, "Or, you should go with him!" ”

After speaking, he posted it to Shangguan Wan'er's ear, "Look at him, don't let this kid run away, I'm still useful!" ”

"Oh"

Shangguan Wan'er almost didn't make a sound.
