When Chen Zuqi heard this, he felt a dilemma.

If the prince in front of him is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's honor, then everything is easy to say, if not, then this matter will be in big trouble today. Don't mention whether the blood feud of your own body can be avenged, just what you have learned from this body, I am afraid that it will be buried.

It's nothing if you die alone, but the knowledge that you learned with great difficulty to save the people of the Ming Dynasty is something that you don't dare to damage.

Chongzhen saw that Chen Zuqi's expression was very entangled, and he also understood in his heart that this guy must have some concerns, so he deliberately said: "You can choose not to say it, but the guards of this son can also ask after a while." ”

Chen Zuqi looked left and right, and saw that there were almost no dead ends to let him run out again, so he had to give up his hand and say: "I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao?" ”

Chongzhen's evil taste attacked, so he looked up to the sky at a forty-five degree angle and said: "This son is the little grandfather of today's British family, I don't know if Chen Gongzi can say it now?" ”

Zhang Zhiji and Ma Weiqiu, who were standing on the side, both felt a deep urge to urinate. This emperor is too spoofed. It is said that only the crown prince of the Han Dynasty likes to pretend to be the son of Xungui, and he didn't think that this lord would be so good.

As soon as he heard that it was the little grandfather of the British family, Chen Zuqi let go of his own hanging heart.

The little grandfather of the British public family has followed the Son of Heaven to the north to conquer the desert, and the British public family has a good reputation from Emperor Chengzu to the present, which can also be reassuring.

Thinking of this, Chen Zuqi bowed and said to Chongzhen: "The student has seen the little grandfather. ”

Emperor Chongzhen still knows that he has to play a full set of acts. At that moment, he also arched his hand at Chen Zuqi and said, "Can Chen Gongzi explain it in detail now?" ”

Chen Zuqi smiled bitterly and said to Chongzhen: "Back to the little grandfather, the student is indeed the son of the county commander of Chang'an County. My father was indeed assassinated by those people. Now my Chen family is full, and there are only students left.

As for the reason, it's actually money to make trouble.

My father, as the county magistrate of Chang'an County, offended too many people for this time to release grain to help the people. Especially those big grain merchants who have a relationship with the wealthy merchants in the southeast. ”

Chongzhen's face darkened at that time, and he glared at Ma Weiqiao before saying to Chen Zuqi: "The official of the imperial court, who dares to assassinate?" Aren't you afraid that the nine clans will be punished afterwards? ”

Chen Zuqi said: "This Chang'an County has been bought up and down by those grain merchants, if it weren't for my father looking for the hundred households of Jinyi Wei in Chang'an County, I'm afraid that ten percent of the grain will not be able to be put out."

Now that my father was killed by the strongmen who were bought by them, the backyard of the county government has also been burned, if it weren't for the big life of the school and the little grandfather, I would only report it in the future, and who knows the details of this? ”

Chongzhen was about to say more, but when he saw that Zhu Gang had already returned, he didn't say anything more at the moment.

After Zhu Gang came to Chongzhen's side, he whispered: "Son, I have already asked clearly." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Chen Zuqi meaningfully before continuing: "The incident was actually caused by this kid. When he was studying in the southeast, he made a few Xiyi, and wanted to partner with those Xiyi to make some high-yield grain seeds, but he was hindered by others, so he did not succeed.

Later, although it didn't work out, it was targeted. It happened that during the drought in Shaanxi, this kid came back from the southeast, and while opening a warehouse with his father to release grain to help the people, he wrote to Xiyi over there, inviting them to come to Chang'an County to do the seed business, so he was targeted by the big grain merchants there.

Originally, his father was not greedy for a grain of grain, and the benefits of many people up and down Chang'an County were damaged, especially those big merchants who had an affair with the grain merchants in the southeast, plus what this kid did was equivalent to breaking the foundation of those big grain merchants, so these people didn't stop doing anything and directly wiped them out. ”

After listening to Zhu Gang's report, Chongzhen glanced at Chen Zuqi deeply. I can't imagine that there are such officials in Daming, and there are stupid people who think about the people like this. It's not the same as the script that was promised.

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Chen Zuqi first lowered his head, and then raised his head and said: "The student only asks the little grandfather to shelter the student for a while, and the student is not willing to watch the people of the Ming Dynasty hungry." Why did those savages from Nanyang and Xiyi throw down seeds and have a good harvest, but my Ming Dynasty didn't? ”

Chongzhen said curiously: "Then what are you going to do?" Just get their seeds? ”

Chen Zuqi said: "That's not the case. The orange born in Huainan is orange, and the orange born in Huaibei is orange, so the students think that it may not be possible to directly introduce their seeds, but cross-breeding with my local seeds may be able to increase the yield of my Daming seeds. ”

it! Isn't this Nima the one that Mr. Yuan, who was nicknamed the Great Druid, has been doing all his life? Daming, this is here? Did Lao Tzu travel through the wrong time and space?

With this deep suspicion, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Do you have eyebrows? ”

When Chen Zuqi heard this, he said with hatred on his face: "It's only to blame the students for not knowing people's hearts and being sinister!" The students originally bought a plot of land in the southeast and tried to plant some, but it was destroyed when the news spread. ”

It's no wonder, fortunately you're meeting me today, or you'd have to follow your father to report to Hades.

However, in this way, it can also explain clearly why Daming has not developed any hybrid grain at all, and it can explain why those high-yield grains have long been brought into Daming but have not developed - without him, too many people's cakes have been moved.

This kind of talent has to get a good connection, and it is not so easy for Xu Guangqi to deal with these high-yield grains alone, especially since Lao Xu is now focusing on firearms and steam engines.

But now it's different, and with such a little druid who is willing to study grain, there is hope for hybrid grain and high-yield grain in the future.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had made up his mind in his heart, no longer concealed his true identity, and said directly to Chen Zuqi: "I deceived you. I am not the little grandfather of the British public at all, I am the son of tomorrow. ”

When Chen Zuqi heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Grass people Chen Zuqi, long live my emperor long live!" ”

If the person in front of him is the emperor, then these elite soldiers who are among the elite can explain it at a glance, and even more can explain why it only takes a moment to get the desired confession - presumably these people are disguised by the people of the brocade guard.

Chongzhen snorted and said, "Get up." ”

After Chen Zuqi stood up, Chongzhen continued: "Tomorrow, you will go to Chang'an County with me." I want to see who is so bold as to point it out and avenge you. Your father is also loyal to the country, and when he returns to Beijing, I will give you another explanation. ”

After Chen Zuqi thanked him, Emperor Chongzhen ordered everyone to continue to rest, and he would go to Chang'an County the next day.

It's just that after Chongzhen and others entered Chang'an County, they almost blew up Emperor Chongzhen's lungs.

Because the county order of Chang'an County has been assassinated, the entire Chang'an County is basically in a state of suspension, and only the county Cheng and Dianshi are organizing the release of grain - it is still a thin soup like Lantian County.

Chongzhen glared at Ma Weiqiu again, and then asked Chen Zuqi: "Was it like this in the past?" ”

Chen Zuqi had already been dressed up by the Jinyi guard, but no one would recognize him, so he leaned over to take a look, and said to Chongzhen: "No, it's much thinner than the inside." In the past, when the grain was put in, although it was not dry rice, it was also thick, and it could withstand a bowl for a long time. But now that I drink this kind of rice soup in my stomach, I am afraid that it will not take an hour or two to get hungry again. ”

Chongzhen nodded, then stopped making a sound, and directly took a few people to walk around the county again.

was walking on the street, but heard Chen Zuqi say: "Son, look over there." ”

Chongzhen looked in the direction that Chen Zuqi was pointing, but it was a grain store.

Chongzhen said curiously: "This grain store is the one who harmed your father?" ”

Chen Zuqi said: "The student doesn't know, but I'm afraid that he also has a part of his family." The mastermind behind this grain store is the county magistrate of this county, although my father has said him a few times, but it is useless. And because the relationship is very clear, it is difficult to find him. ”

Chongzhen snorted, and simply walked towards the grain store with a few people.

As soon as I entered the grain store, a man came to greet him.

Chongzhen turned around and asked, "Man, how did you sell this rice?" ”

The guy saw that Chongzhen's clothes and bearing were extraordinary, so he laughed and said: "Back to this son-in-law, the rice in the small shop is five taels of silver and one stone." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured.

Emperor Chongzhen was laughed at angrily and asked, "Is this rice so expensive now?" What about usual? ”

The guy smiled: "Childe doesn't come out often." Usually, this rice is only two or three taels of silver. But now that there is a great drought, this rice is naturally expensive. ”

Chongzhen pulled down his face and said, "Isn't this a country that is difficult to make money?" ”

The guy saw Chongzhen's ugly face, but he didn't dare to attack, but he just laughed and said: "This son, the price of rice is set by my master, and the small one can't be the master." Judging from the small, you also have an identity, not so much money, the price of this rice is a little expensive, and it has no impact on your old age. ”

Chongzhen snorted and said, "That's what I said." How can the prince be so short of so many taels of silver. It's just that it's not so easy to earn this silver, so let's go to other stores for a while. ”

When the guy heard this, he smiled and said: "If you want to be small, you don't have to turn around, in other stores, there are only those that are more expensive than the small store, and there is nothing cheaper than the small store." ”

Chongzhen smiled, didn't answer anymore, and walked out directly with someone.

I went all the way to seven or eight stores, but as the guy at the store said, none of them were cheaper. Each one is five taels of silver, as if it was discussed.

Emperor Chongzhen, whose face became darker and darker, said to Ma Weiqiu: "Do you know what I want you to see?" In the future, you will go to see on my behalf that there are still places like this Lantian and Chang'an. ”

Ma Weiqiu, who had been frightened just now, hurriedly bowed his hand and whispered: "Weichen understands, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”

At this time, Ma Weichuan already felt in his heart that his ancestors had accumulated virtue - such a big basket, Emperor Chongzhen did not peel himself and hang it in the prefect's yamen of Xi'an Mansion, presumably it was the ancestor who accumulated virtue, and the gods blessed him!

Chongzhen snorted, stopped talking, and walked directly towards the innermost shop on the street.

It's just that this shop makes Emperor Chongzhen feel very strange, and from time to time, people dressed as ordinary people come out with some food from it, and the business seems to be much better than other stores.

After Chongzhen entered the store, he beckoned a guy to come over and asked directly, "How is your rice sold?" ”

The guy also looked at Chongzhen, and said with a smile: "If you go back to the master, the rice in the small shop will cost four taels and eight cents of silver and one stone." ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, it turned out that it was two cents of silver cheaper than other people's rice, and I think it was because of this reason that people kept coming to buy it.

Emperor Chongzhen was about to say something more, but he heard a man dressed as a common man say to the shopkeeper on the counter: "Shopkeeper, please weigh me." ”

The shopkeeper picked it up and weighed it, and said, "One two and two and a half cents." ”

The man dressed as a common man first met the account, and then walked out with Mi Qian's thanks.

It's just that Chongzhen's face darkened: "You guy, aren't you deceiving me?" The man was carrying a lot of rice, and if you said it, why do you have to have three or four taels of silver? ”

The guy laughed and said: "The prince is not strange, that person must be a citizen with household registration in Chang'an County, so the price for him to buy rice is three taels of silver." ”

Chongzhen said: "My son also has a household registration in Chang'an County, how can I ask for five taels?" If you can't tell why, watch your legs! ”

When the guy heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Son, almost a little silver? If you can't afford it, go somewhere else! As for the villain's legs, you don't have to worry about it, as long as you think you can afford to provoke the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty, you can break it. ”

Ouch, this kid is very tough, Chongzhen grabbed Zhu Gang, who wanted to step forward, and said with a faint smile: "What's wrong with the factory guard?" Could it be that this store is still opened by the factory guard? ”

The guy looked at Zhu Gang, who was stopped, and sneered: "You are not from this county of Chang'an County, right?" The little Kan Gongzi is also quite valuable, why fight with these mud-legged people for this mouthful of food? I would like to advise the child, this shop is specially made here by the Lord of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, if you dare to move, just try it! ”

Chongzhen smiled: "That's it, I can't afford to provoke, I can't afford to provoke." ”

After saying that, he ignored the guy and walked out with the people. It's just that he hasn't taken two steps yet, but he heard the guy muttering behind him: "Break the master's leg?" Rich is amazing, huh? What the hell! ”

Emperor Chongzhen paused, but he led people out with a black face, and he didn't have anything to do with that guy.
