For the Qing monarchs and ministers who are concerned about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to the daily court meeting, the most important thing as an emperor is probably to review and approve the folds, which is even the most important factor in weighing whether a king is competent, and for the blessings who have always promised themselves to be the king, they naturally attach great importance to this, and they will spend a lot of time reviewing the folds every day, lying in front of the bookcase to watch the ministers, servants and the folds from all over the country.

For Fu Lin, this recital that has to be reviewed every day is not an easy thing, originally it was just tired, but now in addition to being tired, there is also an annoying situation. Now for him, the review is almost equivalent to a torture sentence, and although he is still very happy at the court meeting, those are good words.

In front of the emperor, what the ministers and servants say, naturally, are all good words, only those things that have to be said, they will say it, but whenever there is room for maneuver, they will write it in the folds, this is the way to protect themselves as a slave. Therefore, it is often the real thing in this twist and turn, especially those military reports, which are concentrated in the twist and turn, so as not to arouse the anger of the master and affect themselves. Because of this, this batch of readings has now become a chore.

Since last year, the world has not stopped, first the small court of the southwest and the south of the Ming Dynasty has not been pacified, the Zheng pirates invaded Jiangnan, and even the army of Annam was wiped out by the Zhu thieves, and the situation in the world immediately changed. Since the early years of the Central Plains, in the past ten years, the world of the Qing Dynasty, although it seems to be peaceful, but in fact, everyone knows that the Han people are never willing to rule for the Manchus, they will do everything possible to resist, even if they kill hundreds of millions of Han people, but they still have not killed the things in their bones, they have shaved their heads, they are easy to obey, and the backbone of the people is almost killed, but the words Han people have long been engraved in the blood of the Han people, unless they are killed, if not, they are even bent to obey, That's also temporary.

And it's not just the Han people now, this memora even mentions that the Khalkha Mongols in Mobei have also moved, and it seems that because the Qing Dynasty is now running into problems in the Guannei, they are also beginning to move there. If this is the case, then the world can be said to be one after another, the southeast half of the wall is erosive, and the Mobei Mongolia, which is already centrifugal from the Qing Dynasty, has also moved, and the world is uneasy!

In the face of this difficult situation, Fulin believed that any emperor would be like him, afraid of reading those chapters and folds that reported the military situation. I feel that this batch of readings is a chore at all!

But, even if it's a chore, can you not watch this twist?

There's not a good thing in this fold!

"Huh?"

Just when he was having a headache for the bad news in this compromise, suddenly, a Sukh Saha recital attracted Fulin's attention, and he, who had a headache, instantly opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

"How can such a thing happen?"

Fu Lin, who was amazed, hurriedly ordered the eunuch to send Sonny on duty, and then ordered someone to pass on Suke Saha, and after a while, Sonny came.

"Sony, there's a Sukh Saha excerpt here, you can take a look at it first."

Sukh Saha's excerpt?

Sonny naturally didn't know the content of the recital in advance, so he took it in his hand, skimmed it first, and said after returning it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, if this thing is true, it is also a good thing!"

When Sonny spoke, he used the right words, although he said that it was good, but there was a premise, that is, if this thing was true. The reason for this is simple, he can be said to be quite disgusted with Sukh Saha. Especially not to take his character, after all, Sukh Saha was originally a close confidant of Dolgon, but in order to gain the favor of Emperor Shunzhi and allow himself to have more power, he reported Dolgon. As a result, Dolgon did not end up well after his death, and in this respect, Sukh Saha could not be called a loyal subject. He does things for his own benefit and does not think about loyalty.

For Sonny and others, perhaps Sukh Saha's move to please the emperor, but in their opinion, this undoubtedly proves his low character, and it is precisely because of this that Sonny will hate people and despise him as a person, after all, Dolgon was its master, and the betrayal of his master is something that must not be tolerated.

So most of the time, while Sony doesn't show a clear dislike for being human, it often pushes back against its claims with euphemism. Just like now, he very cleverly pointed out that this could be fake.

"But no, a stone of rice is only two or three dollars of silver, even if it is transported to the capital, it is only five dollars of silver, which is much cheaper than grain, if I am not mistaken, now a stone of rice in the capital is at least one or two or eight dollars! Such cheap food is really rare! ”

As soon as Sony said this, Fulin also nodded approvingly, this food commission is really too cheap, it is really hard to believe, but it can't help but make people excited. After all, the capital needs food.

Since the grain was cut off, the price of grain in the capital has risen three times a day, fortunately, the imperial court sent out the grain stored in the Tongzhou warehouse in a hurry, otherwise the grain price in the capital will not have to break the sky. But even so, the price of rice in the capital has risen by 20% compared with the past.

The livelihood of the capital is completely dependent on the grain, and without the grain, the price of grain in the capital will rise sooner or later. In the compromises of the ministers, this matter was often mentioned, after all, this grain was related to the stability of the capital and other places.

"Your Majesty, if North Korea's autumn grain can solve 500,000 stones, it will definitely alleviate the use of the capital this year, and by then, the price of grain in the capital should be reduced to less than one or two or five yuan."

Sony hurriedly said with relief.

In order to solve the grain problem in the capital, the ministers of the court can be said to have racked their brains, in addition to increasing the share of grain in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and Zhili, but also set their eyes on North Korea, after all, the increase in grain in the four provinces is limited, and can not meet the consumption of the capital and other places, the increase in the four provinces plus the grain in the warehouse in Tongzhou, is barely enough, but the grain in the warehouse in Tongzhou and other warehouses will be consumed almost this year, so if there is no additional food source, the grain in the capital this year will definitely not be enough. In order to solve this problem, some ministers eventually set their sights on North Korea.

After all, the southern part of Korea is also rich in rice, and the output is very large, before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were tens of thousands of rice to hundreds of thousands of stones from North Korea every year, although the quantity is limited, but it can always alleviate the use of a while, and according to the calculation of the court's ministers who understand Korea, the output of North Korea can solve at least 500,000 stones of rice a year.

"Your Majesty, you must not solve the rice of North Korea!"

Almost as soon as Sony's words fell, Sukh Saha's objections were heard over there. Sukh Saha, who had just entered the study, did not forget to bow down and kowtow when he retorted, and only continued after seeing that it was a kowtow.

"Your Majesty, this North Korea is different from others, if I force North Korea to release rice, when the time comes, I am only afraid that North Korea will be centrifuged, and if it is instigated by Jiangnan, I am afraid that the gangsters will cause trouble!"

Sukh Saha, who knelt on the ground, completely looked worried about the country and the people. I am afraid that if I solve North Korea, his credit will be in vain.

Sony, who was interrupted, said nonchalantly.

"But Master Su, this capital needs rice!"

Unlike Sukh Saha's rebuttal, Sony still did not directly refute it, but only mentioned the real problem in one sentence.

Kyocaka needs rice!

These four words made Fu Lin's brows furrow suddenly, and his face became ugly.

Now the grain in Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places is not even enough to eat the army of the southern expedition, and naturally there is no surplus grain to transport to Beijing.

It seems that solving North Korean rice is the only choice, but North Korean rice is not easy to understand, North Koreans are not in the Qing Dynasty, how can they be willing to donate food? Unless the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty entered Korea again, if not, how could they willingly release rice?

But now, how can the imperial court send a large army to Korea?

Moreover, just as Sukh Saha said, the imperial court has set a strategy of entrapment against Korea in recent years, and if it forcibly asks for rice and grain, Korean centrifugation will inevitably lead to instability in Manchuria, and at that time, the Qing Dynasty will really be embattled.

"Since the capital needs rice, why not focus on North Korean rice, Nanyang rice is also rice, why not use Nanyang rice!"

Sukh Saha naturally knew that the reason why the emperor sent him over was nothing more than for the Nanyang rice mentioned in his excerpt.

"Nanyang rice, Nanyang rice is really so cheap? This family's words, Master Su should not believe it partially! ”

Sony squinted his eyes, and his tone was still not salty, because he had seen the relationship between the folds before, so he also knew that the Nanyang rice in the fold was offered by the people of the Jin family, and it naturally became a family in his mouth.

"What a family's words?"

Sukh Saha, who had been prepared for a long time, took out another fold from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, the servant here is an excerpt from the gazetteer of various provinces in Guangdong, as well as the records of the officials of the previous dynasty, which all mention that Nanyang rice is cheap, at the lowest, the price per stone of rice is only a few hundred yuan, even if the price is the most expensive, it is only a little more than three coins of silver, so, how can it be a family!"

When Sukh Saha presented the fold, Sonny just looked at it for a moment, and then fell silent, it seemed that for him, it was no big deal, but it set off a wave of anger in his heart, didn't this Sukh Saha know that he had discussed it with him before?

Now it's like this, isn't it just to slap him?

His character is really low!

Once again, while Sony despises Sukh Saha as a person in his heart, he is even more ashamed of him. However, he did not refute it, but echoed on the side,

"If that's the case, then God bless me Daqing!"
