Hearing that Liu Ziqiu was going to appoint himself as a Fufeng Taishou, Zhuo Xiangdian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the next official, I will write a letter to the counties and county orders, and let them come down as soon as possible."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and asked, "How much surplus grain is there in the city?"

Zhuo Xiangdian's face was bitter and said: "Don't dare to hide it, the whole Guanlong is short of food, and there is only ten days of surplus food in Fufeng City."

Liu Ziqiu knew that Yang Xuangan was short of food, otherwise he wouldn't be eager to attack Xiao Miao, but Liu Ziqiu would never have imagined that Yang Xuangan's lack of food had reached such a point, and there was only ten days of surplus food left in a huge Fufeng City, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "What about ten days later?"

Zhuo Xiangdian shook his head and said: "Now is the time when there is no harvest, and the lack of grain at this time of year is the norm, but Yang Xuangan has been collecting grain too hard all winter, and now there is not much grain in the hands of ordinary people except for some large households, and some people don't even have grain seeds at home."

Liu Ziqiu was taken aback and asked repeatedly: "This situation is only true in Fufeng County or in the surrounding counties?"

Zhuo Xiangdian sighed and said: "The situation in Fufeng is slightly better, and the situation in other counties is only worse than Fufeng, I don't know if you have heard of Li Shanfei."

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "Li Shanfei's real name is Wei Dao'er, he is a horse bandit who is active in the Guanlong area, and what does the lack of food have to do with him?"

Zhuo Xiangdian said worriedly: "The lack of grain has nothing to do with Li Shanfei, but Li Shanfei has a lot to do with the lack of food, last year Li Shanfei was only three or five thousand people, but after a winter, he suddenly developed to nearly 100,000 horses, many of the new people and horses under his command are farmers who can't eat enough, recently Li Shanfei has swept the north of Pingliang, Anding two counties, looting large households, opening warehouses to release grain, people are very numerous, I am afraid that it will soon invade Tianshui and Fufeng."

Liu Ziqiu was silent for a while and said: "Although there are many people in Wei Dao'er, it is not a rabble in the end, there is no need to worry, the top priority is to let the people eat their stomachs, and since those big families still have surplus food, let them donate some."

Since Zhuo Xiangdian is a member of the Li family, he will naturally be on the side of the family and can't help but say with a face full of embarrassment: "I'm afraid that they won't be able to rob it."

Liu Ziqiu knew that he wanted to gag his mouth, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Liu is not a robber, how can he do something to rob, they are not willing to donate, then Liu Mou can always buy from them, but Liu Mou wants to say ugly things in front, if anyone dares to take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, don't blame Liu for being ruthless."

Zhuo Xiangdian saw that Liu Ziqiu's hand seemed to be pressed on the handle of the knife, and couldn't help but shudder, and said cautiously: "Lord Liu, even if those big families are willing to sell grain, the government can't come up with so much money."

Liu Ziqiu pondered for a moment and said: "Liu remembers that there is a Qiyang Palace in Fufeng, I don't know if it is still there."

Zhuo Xiangdian didn't understand what Liu Ziqiu meant, and hurriedly said: "Go back to your lordship, Qiyang Palace is in Fufeng City, your lordship is going to stay in the palace tonight."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "Liu and the soldiers share weal and woe, and naturally stay in the camp, Liu asks you, Qiyang Palace can still be the same."

Zhuo Xiangdian smiled and said: "Although the brothers of the Yang family have usurped and rebelled, they have not crossed the various palaces of the first emperor, and they still send troops to guard the palace attendants and palace maids, and they are also eating and drinking, please rest assured."

Yang Guangxing likes to play and has built countless palaces all over the country, Yang Xuangan and Li Yuan because they are orthodox to the Yang family, and the palace is also a symbol of the royal family, so they are careful to maintain the normal operation of the palaces in various places, of course, on the other hand, they also hope that after they dominate the world, these well-preserved palaces can also become places for them to have fun, such as Shanglin Xiyuan in Luoyang, Li Yuan is well protected

So far, there are only three palaces that have really been destroyed, one is Longxi Palace, which was first occupied by Yu Wenhua, and then carried away by Liu Ziqiu, and the other is Jiangdu Palace, which was occupied by Wang Shichong, but Li Jing did not rob the treasures in the palace, but ordered people to protect the palace, the worst place is that Fenyang Palace was first caused by Du Jishi and others, after learning that something happened to the grassland, Du Jishi hurriedly returned north, and had to abandon those beauties and property along the road into the hands of the rebel army

Liu Ziqiu also smiled when he heard that the palace was intact and said: "In this way, Liu is relieved, the first emperor built these palaces, all of them are extremely luxurious, Qiyang Palace must be no exception, as long as Qiyang Palace is not captured by Yang Xuangan, those treasures are enough to feed many people."

Zhuo Xiangdian was taken aback and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I'm afraid this move is inappropriate."

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong, those treasures are dead, but the people are alive, Lord Zhuo, this matter will be left to you, use the treasures in the palace to play, exchange food and grain seeds to those big families, distribute them to the people of the county, and help the people survive this difficulty."

Zhuo Xiangdian hesitated: "There are just two things, please ask your lord to show me whether to distribute food in the form of opening a porridge field for disaster relief or directly distributing it according to the head, and the second one, if you take away all the treasures and utensils in Qiyang Palace, how to place those concubines, palace maids, and chamberlains in the palace."

Liu Ziqiu was silent for a while and said: "There is no need to open a porridge field, the grain is directly distributed to the people according to the household registration and the population, the grain is distributed according to the acres of land, and all the people who receive the grain and grain seeds must be registered, and the equal amount can be returned to those people in the palace after the autumn harvest, and all those people in the palace let them release the Ning family."

Zhuo Xiangdian said again: "Lord Liu, there is no problem in distributing food, it's just that those people in the palace are from all over the world, and there is a big mess today, even if the adults let them go home, they won't be able to go back, and I hope the adults will think twice."

If it was someone else, just follow Liu Ziqiu's instructions, where would you take into account the safety of those palace maids and concubines, Liu Ziqiu didn't expect Zhuo Xiangdian to have such kindness, and couldn't help nodding vigorously and said: "Lord Zhuo, you are very thoughtful, Liu Mou's subordinates are mostly young and unmarried soldiers, if those palace maids and concubines are willing, they will marry Liu's soldiers, and if they are unwilling, Lord Zhuo will arrange to distribute the fields and residences as appropriate."

These palace maids and concubines are actually not happy, many of them will never see the emperor's face in their lives, there is only one man in the palace, so the vast majority of people have to stay widowed for a lifetime, but they still belong to the emperor's women, the emperor does not open his mouth, they will never be able to go out, and no emperor will agree to release his women out of the palace, even after their deaths, the fate of these women is either to become a monk or to be martyred, and now Liu Ziqiu has let them live in a word, and a few are still willing to continue to stay in the palace

Zhuo Xiangdian, the Fufeng County Prince, also served as the eunuch of the Qiyang Palace, understood the pain of those women, and also understood Yang Xuangan's purpose for keeping them, seeing that Liu Ziqiu was very generous to let those women go, Zhuo Xiangdian couldn't help but look at Liu Ziqiu a little higher, and hurriedly said: "Lord Liu doesn't know that there are two palaces in Fufeng, one Renshou Palace and one Anren Palace, are these two palaces also disposed of like Qiyang Palace."

Liu Ziqiu didn't know that there were three palaces in Fufeng County, and secretly calculated that the treasures in the three palaces should be enough to satisfy the people of a county to spend this green and yellow days, so he couldn't help but nod and said: "Please ask Lord Zhuo to handle it together."

……

Liu Ziqiu released all the women in the three palaces in Fufeng, and a certain woman in the Luoyang Palace was not so lucky, Li Yuan came to the door early in the morning to ask for the guilt

The only cronies around Empress Dowager Xiao were the palace maids and eunuchs, who got up in the morning, and she suddenly found that the people who were waiting for her today had all changed their faces, and she couldn't help but be shocked: "Who are you?"

A fat palace maid said in a rough voice: "Hui Niangniang, slave maid and others are here to serve Niangniang on the order of General Manager Li."

After returning to the palace yesterday, he immediately mobilized his cronies to change all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Empress Dowager Xiao's palace, inside and out

Empress Dowager Xiao was naturally furious: "Call Li Cheng to the mourning family"

The fat palace maid said: "Niangniang is angry, and the chief manager Li is drinking tea with the prince, and the prince has instructed the slaves and maids to wait for the maid to bathe."

Empress Dowager Xiao was startled and said: "What are you doing bathing in broad daylight?"

The fat palace maid said with a smile: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, the prince will come to Linxing Niangniang in a while"

There is only one prince in Luoyang City now, and that is Li Yuan, the king of Tang, when he heard this, Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly stood as pale as earth for a long time, and suddenly shouted hysterically: "Li Yuan, Li Yuan, what are he going to do, he can't rebel if he wants to"

The fat palace maid bowed down very calmly and said: "What is the prince going to do, the slave maid has made it clear just now, the fragrant soup has been prepared, please invite the lady to bathe."

Empress Dowager Xiao grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands and refused to move, and the fat palace maid sneered and said: "Niangniang Hugh blames the slave maid for changing her clothes."

Poor Empress Dowager Xiao's delicate body, where can she resist those stupid palace maids, a few palace maids rushed up, raised their hands, raised their hands and feet, and dragged Empress Dowager Xiao to the outside room, and sure enough, there was a big bath bucket in the barrel, spices were added to the barrel, and the mist was vaguely visible, and many petals were floating on the water, and it was winter at the moment, and it took a lot of effort to find these petals

Empress Dowager Xiao struggled desperately, but the stupid palace maids didn't know that they took pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade, and they took off her clothes with seven hands and feet, and the Empress Dowager Xiao shouted anxiously: "If you don't let go of the mourning family, you will kill yourself by chewing your tongue",.
