Chapter 526: Heart-Piercing Song

A dense sound of footsteps interrupted Shi Kefa's thoughts, and he looked up to see ahead, a group of Dongchang Fanzi were walking in the direction of the grain store. The people in line were frightened, and immediately the long queue was chaotic and ran around to escape. Seeing this, Shi Kefa immediately wanted to go up to stop these fans from committing violence, and stopped after walking for a while, and the fans stopped about ten steps outside the team, and Shi Kefa also wanted to see what they were going to do.

"Get out of here, laughing is worse than crying!" Wu Zhi kicked over the big block under his hand, these fierce gods were vicious, it was really difficult for them to serve with a smile. Looking at the trembling people, Wu Zhi suddenly felt that smiling might not be useful, so he simply grabbed a loudspeaker, raised it and shouted in the voice of a male duck: "Listen to me, long live the Lord heard that the price of grain has skyrocketed, so he specially asked Dongchang to go to Nanyang to purchase a large amount of grain, and opened a royal grain chain store to provide affordable grain for the people of Beijing." ”

After speaking, Wu Zhi turned around and shouted, are you stupid? Hold up the banner! A group of fans raised the banner and continued to walk along the street, and there was a specially arranged loud voice in the team, shouting hoarsely: "Good news, good news, the royal grain chain store is officially open for business today, and the food is supplied at a low price!" Today's grain price is 50 yuan per bucket for 50 noodles and 10 yuan per bucket for heterozygous noodles. Each person is limited to 10 catties per day, so you can't miss the opportunity, and you want to buy it as soon as possible. ”

Such a bad street advertising slogan, at a glance, you can know who it is from. Shi Kefa was really dumbfounded when he saw this scene, the royal grain chain? What the hell is this? But it was soon scorched by this advertising slogan. Do you dare to be a little literary? If you think about it carefully, you will be happy. Don't you really say it, this kind of vulgar rhetoric can no longer be vulgar, isn't it just for the appetite of the people? Think of the royal grain chain. Shi Kefa was relieved. It's not that His Majesty is not prepared, but he is very well prepared. Fifty dollars a bucket of rice and noodles, this is the price of human life.

Continuing on, I came to another street, where there was also a team propagandizing, and it was also a fierce god who was fighting with open flames. But this time it's not to arrest people, it's to save people. The rhetoric here has changed again, and the person who shouted is estimated to be a eunuch, and his voice is a little sharp: great news, great news, the grand opening of the royal grain chain store, in order to give preferential treatment to the majority of users, within one month of opening, special food will be supplied. Rice noodles are fifty wen a bucket, heterozygous noodles are ten wen a bucket, each person is limited to ten catties of rice noodles per day, and heterozygous noodles are not limited to purchase.

On this still a cold morning, walking on the road to the court, Shi Kefa didn't feel cold at all. The spring breeze blows on the face, but the heart is warm. The entire capital was awakened by these spies, who were usually afraid of evil ghosts, and it seemed to happen overnight. These villains have changed their hearts and lungs, and the transformation into good people has succeeded.

It's dawn. Wu Zhi's voice was hoarse, holding the tea jar issued by the Dengzhou camp, sitting in front of a grain store to drink tea and rest. The newly opened Royal Grain Chain Store has a total of 30 branches. It was as if it had popped up overnight, with advertisements and cheap food all over the place. Wu squinted. Looking at the people who were queuing up to buy food, I wondered in my heart, after this errand was done, the chair of the celebrant was gone.

To deal with this gang of profiteers, it has to be Master Chen of the Chen Pavilion Department. This shot is to clean up to the dead. When the news spreads, it will not be necessary to say that the price of food in Beijing will have to dive in the future. Hmph, don't think that this is the end of the matter, don't let you die, this thing is not over. The price of grain a year ago was only 200 wen a bucket of rice noodles, and it only dared to double in February, why not grab it? To do this when there is no harvest is to do this, this is a sin, sucking the blood of the people. In the past, Long Live Lord couldn't do anything about this kind of thing, but now there is Chen Gebu, hehe!

An old man led a child, trembling to Wu Zhi, and the fans on both sides received the order, no one is allowed to embarrass the people today. Wu Zhi looked at the two ancestors and grandchildren coming over, stood up very curiously, and was about to speak, the old man put down the basket in his hand, silently held a bowl of rice-stuffed sweet wine, and offered it with both hands: "The old man's family is engaged in sweet wine business, and he can't take out anything else, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, taste it." ”

Wu Zhi was like being shocked, in the past, when the people saw the people of Dongchang, which one was not like seeing black and white impermanence. I actually gave him sweet wine today, how can this feeling be sour? I don't know why, Wu Zhi's hand trembled, and he took the bowl of sweet wine in a trembling voice. The sweet wine is warm, with a faint aroma of wine, and the sound of a tear is inaudible, and a tear does not know when it slips down. Wu Zhi hurriedly turned his back and took a sip of this bowl of rice wine that cost a penny, he hadn't drunk it before, and he didn't think it was delicious, but today he had a feeling that it was sweet to the bone. In my life, I have never drunk such sweet rice wine.

"Here you go!" The child on the side was very crisp, and reached over with a hard-boiled egg in his hand. Wu Zhi quickly wiped his eyes, smiled hoarsely and said, "I'm not hungry, you keep it to eat." The boy looked at him with distrustful eyes, put it on his chair and said, "Don't coax the child, I woke you up early in the morning." Grandpa said, without your rice, the family business would not be able to continue, and I would have to go hungry. Although I am small, I don't take advantage of you, and this egg is for you. ”

The old man looked at his grandson worriedly, Wu Zhi's eyes were blurred, he quickly turned around, rubbed his face vigorously, and then looked up to see the heads and fans on the side, who were also shedding tears. Looking back, the pair of grandchildren had already taken several steps, and Wu Zhi subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop them, but he couldn't speak. Watching them walk away, he turned around and picked up the egg, which seemed to have to be put away close to him. After doing this, Wu Zhi turned his head and said viciously to the subordinates beside him: "Listen to me, I found that the familiar faces that appeared repeatedly, and I watched them closely." Whoever wants to worry about the big things that are bad for the Lord of Long Live will be bitten to death and torn him apart if he is a slave. ”

Wu Zhi heard some similar things one after another, the fans who maintained order, some people sent tea, and some people sent a handful of peanuts or a handful of dates. There weren't many things, but it was said that they were eaten with tears in their eyes.

Today's morning court is two minutes later than usual, and the ministers are very surprised, because the diligent Zhu Youzhen has not been delayed for even half a quarter over the years, only early, not late. Zhu Youzhen was late, naturally because he had been waiting for news, and finally heard that everyone from all walks of life was moving, so he went to court with peace of mind.

Zhu Youzhen, who was in a good mood, just sat down for a while, and a minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Zaode, stood up below, and said: "Qi Xiang Xià, I was shocked to hear about the royal grain chain store in the early morning, and I thought that this move was suspected of being immoral." Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order, and don't do this to compete with the people. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen to explain, he stood up again and thought that the minister said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" "This one is called Li Yuzhi, a secretary of the ministry, and an important minister of the court. Then more than ten ministers, including Chen Yan, Zhang Xin, Li Jiantai, etc., all expressed their support. It's just a matter of Wenchen, there are also a lot of nobles, such as Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, Zhang Shize, the Duke of the United Kingdom, Xu Yunzhen, and more than ten people, all of whom said that His Majesty's move was inappropriate and begged to be withdrawn.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the faces that stood up one after another with an expressionless face, he used to think that he was very familiar with them, but this moment suddenly became extremely unfamiliar. Zhu Youzhen may not know that these people are all recorded in history. When Li Zicheng approached Jingshi, Zhu Youzhen asked the ministers for help with money, but Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, was the first to stand up and say, I don't have extra money at home. And then the matter is gone. Zhang Jinyan, together with the eunuch Qihuadong, opened the city gate and surrendered. Chen Yin, welcoming Li Zicheng, called for losing 40,000 taels of silver, but Liu Zongmin found 360 taels of gold and tens of thousands of silver from the cellar, and punished him. When Wei Zaode was tortured, he said that the Son of Heaven was immoral, and there was a disaster for the country to be destroyed.

All in all, each of these people has nothing to do, even if Li Zicheng doesn't look down on them.

Not all ministers reacted in this way, only more than 30 people stood up, and many more people watched. Others were glaring at them, or they were already shaking with anger. Just when Zhu Youzhen finally restrained his anger and was about to speak. Someone had already stood up, holding the wat board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister Shi Kefa has something to say." ”

Looking at the one who stood up, Zhu Youzhen's brows jumped a few times, this guy has a bad record. But he still endured it, and nodded slowly: "Speak!" Shi Kefa turned around and pointed to the ministers and nobles who stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to send a factory guard to thoroughly investigate this generation, the soaring price of grain in Beijing is inevitably related to these shameless people." ”

The rhythm of this reversal is amazing, this is Shi Kefa. Zhu Youzhen thought that he had misheard, but after a pause, he reacted, and finally felt a little more comfortable, and said lightly: "Aiqing, why do you say this?" They are all important ministers of the state, how can they sin because of their words? "Having said that, he is actually encouraging Shi Kefa to continue to spray, the emperor does not sin for his words, you can come up with evidence.

Shi Kefa took a deep breath and said loudly: "The price of grain in Jingshi has risen to 400 wen for rice, and 500 wen for noodles. Not to mention ordinary people, even officials with a lot of wealth such as ministers are a little unbearable. When the price of food soars, it is the people who suffer, and if someone suffers, someone gains. His Majesty thought of the suffering of the people, and worked hard to transfer grain from outside and sell it to the people at a low price. His Majesty has made concessions to the people, but some people have come forward to compete with the people for profit. The minister was stupid and came to the conclusion that those who benefited from the soaring grain prices must be opponents of His Majesty's low-price grain sales. ”

Shi Kefa's sonorous voice echoed in the main hall, and Zhu Youzhen on the dragon chair subconsciously sat up straight! (To be continued......)
