Chapter 221: It made his heart like a knife
Nan Baoyi picked up a few and watched.
The expression on Bai Nen's little face gradually became solemn.
The drought in Shu County is very critical this year and next year, and if you don't get it right, you will starve all over the wilderness.
Food and water are the foundation of the people's survival, but so many granaries have been burned, and the county order has done nothing, which is really chilling!
Xiao Yi slowly peeled the lychee.
A few days ago, when the hall was full of gold and jade, the boss Wan tried in vain to unite with the grain merchants of Shu County to make the grain price rise, and begged him, but he refused.
Come to think of it, this is their revenge.
It's disgusting.
He peeled out the lychee core and fed the lychee meat into Nan Baoyi's mouth, smiling: "What do you think of Jiaojiao?" β
"The second brother is afraid that he is blocking the financial path of some people, so they will make this decision." Nan Baoyi said in a deep voice, "I can find Hong Laojiu's granary in a short period of time, and I can make the thirty-two county magistrates keep silent at the same time, except for Shu County Taishou, no one else can do it!" β
The Cheng family is deeply rooted in Shu County.
Cheng Taishou has many protΓ©gΓ©s, and the thirty-two county orders are the only ones who are the first to look forward, which can be described as powerful.
Nan Baoyi knew that he was not worthy of his virtue, but he never expected that he would dare to collect wealth so blatantly, even regardless of how the people were in dire straits!
So much food, it's all the hard work of the second brother!
It was burned with a fire!
The minister is still here, isn't he afraid of being exposed?!
She grabbed Xiao Yi's wide sleeves, and was about to cry angrily, "Second brother, while the nine thousand years old are still here, let's go and expose Cheng Taishou's crimes?" β
"It's useless."
Xiao Yi peeled the lychee, and his posture was cold.
"Why didn't it work?"
"Gu Chongshan is a figure in the Chengwang faction, but Cheng Xue and Xue Dingwei are neutrals. This time, Gu Chongshan came to Shu County, except for verifying the theft of disaster relief silver and selecting imperial merchants, do you think he has no other purpose? β
Nan Baoyi was stunned.
Now that the prince is an adult, the battle for the throne is kicking off.
Xue Dingwei, who has an army of 400,000, and Cheng Zhi, who has the power to Shu County, are naturally the objects that King Cheng wants to woo.
Therefore, Gu Chongshan is here to win them over.
Gu Chongshan will not help the second brother......
Her heart sank little by little.
Xiao Yi fed her another lychee.
He chuckled: "The little girl's family, isn't it happy to stay in the boudoir all day long, read poetry and books, embroider flowers and birds?" Why do you always want to get involved in all these big things? With my brother here, I won't let us be bullied. β
Nan Baoyi didn't make a sound.
She leaned on Xiao Yi's shoulder and buried her face in his neck socket.
It's just very aggrieved!
When he returned from rebirth, he obviously took advantage of the time and place, obviously hoarded so much rice and grain, and was able to save hundreds of thousands of people, but because of the greed of others, he fell short in the end......
Although she is a deep girl, although she is only shallow in learning, she also knows that "she is humble and does not dare to forget the country".
Why don't those people who are in high positions and have read the books of the sages since childhood?
The warm liquid rolled down the neck socket of the young man.
Xiao Yi's expression was grim.
Nan Jiaojiao's tears are the sharpest weapons in the world.
It was so easy that it cut his heart.
He gently stroked the little girl's head, "It's going to be fine, my brother assures you that the entire Shu County will be fine."
"The thirty-two county magistrates are in vain as parents and officials, so kill them to thank the world. Cheng Taishou is corrupt and perverts the law to seek personal gain, so he will tell the world about his crimes.
"I want my homeland, Heqing Haiyan, prosperous and peaceful. I want my people to have enough food and clothing, and to live and work in peace. β
I also want his little girl, thousands of charming, like jewels!
The promise of youth is loud and clear.
Nan Baoyi believed in him.
He is a powerful minister, and she believes everything he says!
Nan Baoyi wrapped her arms around his neck squeamishly, lying in his arms and refusing to come out.
Shen Yichao silently caged his wide sleeves.
Women are such a nuisance.
The woman who is under the eighth grade is even more delicate and stupid.
But......
For the sake of this girl's innocent heart, I can barely mention a product for her, rated as the seventh grade.
Nanfu is still quiet.
In the entire Shu County, as countless granaries were burned, the grain of the Hongjia rice shop was sold out, and panic finally broke out.
The price of rice shops has increased one after another, and the price of grain has increased more than fivefold in one day.
Sensational rumours have spread that the drought will continue into next year and that it is now necessary to stock up on food.
So hundreds of people took to the streets, took out their family savings, and frantically snapped up rice and grain.
As the panic spread, the order of the town was disordered, and some people even went to other houses to rob rice and grain desperately, causing even greater trouble.
Outside the towns, bandits run rampant, occupying rivers and lakes, and displacing the people of the villages.
Refugees are on the rise.
Taishou House.
Cheng Yu sat behind the bookcase, his fingertips dipped in spit, and slowly flipped through the Analects.
The housekeeper came in with a few account books and said with a smile: "Master, Boss Wan sent someone to send the account books, which are the account records of the past half a month, please take a look." β
Cheng Zhi put down the Analects.
opened the account book, but in just half a month, the money earned by the rice shop was worth the three quarters of last year.
"The people are still rushing for rice and grain, Boss Wan only sells a little bit every day, and most of the grain is still hoarded in the warehouse, just waiting for it to be sold after winter and make a lot of money!" The housekeeper smiled from ear to ear, "Boss Wan also said that the master is the most honest Taishou in the world, just like his food and clothing parents, so he deliberately took out forty percent of the account to be filial to you!" β
"Forty percent ......"
Cheng Taishou knocked on the bookcase, smiling elegantly, "It's quite sensible." Xiao Yi's side, what's the situation? β
"Don't worry, my lord, his granary has been burned down, and the price of grain from other counties is also tight, even if you want to transport grain in, it is not so easy."
Cheng Taishou smiled even more, and opened the "Analects" with emotion, "Shu County is thousands of miles away, as a Taishou, I am really exhausted!" How happened to Gu Chongshan? β
"The Governor of Xichang temporarily lives in Jinyumantang, and it seems that he is not in a hurry to return to Shengjing City. During this period of time, I always wanted to meet Governor Xue, probably to support King Cheng's canonization of the crown prince. However, the Governor never saw him. β
"It's just a eunuch, it's really not worth the Governor's personal hospitality. King Cheng sent such a eunuch slave to discuss cooperation, but he didn't come up with a decent meeting gift, and he didn't take us and others in his eyes at all. He is willing to stay in Jinguan City, so let him stay there. β
The butler smiled and said yes.
When he came out of the study, the maid came to ask for him, saying that his wife had asked him to check the expenses of the public school.
When I came to the flower hall in the backyard, Mrs. Cheng Huang was sitting on it, drinking almond tea.
Nan Yan knelt on the ground and carefully pinched her legs, as if she was filial.
Hearing the housekeeper mention the big money from the rice shop, Huang smiled from ear to ear.
She sneered: "It is said that the Nan family will do business, and I see that it is also good for our Cheng Mansion to do business." You say, don't you, Nan Rou? β
"What my mother-in-law said is," Nan Yan is docile, "Our Cheng family is a scholarly family and a powerful family, and they disdain to do business in the past day, if they really run it, what is the Nan family?" β
I like to be reborn, I became the palm of the minister, please collect: () After the rebirth, I became the palm of the minister, and the Jiangsu literature network is the fastest.
