Chapter 271 There is an even bigger problem
After three days, the disease was under control, the fever subsided, and the sores on the body gradually improved, and I believe that it will not take long to get completely better.
So, overnight, the crisis in the capital was lifted, and the hearts of the people finally settled down, it is really unimaginable, if this plague is not solved again, what will happen to Dayan!
However, people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, the plague is solved, but the other troubles brought by this flood are far from being resolved, as Nan Xueyu himself said, the people take food as the sky, Jianghuai's crops have not been harvested this year, and the grain handed over by other counties is also used as the daily rations of the refugees, and the next thing the imperial court will face is the upcoming rice and grain crisis, and this is not much better than the plague.
In Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother called Murong Ye and Nan Xueyu to discuss countermeasures. As soon as the two looked at each other, she asked about Murong Yao in the first sentence, "The mourning family heard that Yao'er donated 100,000 taels of silver to the refugees, but is there such a thing?" This is still the sun coming out of the west, and after hearing about it, she has never been able to believe it.
Now not only the people, but even the courtiers are full of praise for Yao'er, saying that although he has just experienced a fire and suffered countless losses, but for the sake of the refugees, he still smashes the pot and sells iron, pours everything he has, and also donates 100,000 taels of silver.
However, this matter cannot only be seen from the amount of silver taels, after all, Yao'er is good at business, and he has many industries under his name, so he naturally makes money every day, but Ye'er has no intention of this, but focuses on training secret guards for the royal family and cultivating masters, so these 50,000 taels are all his belongings.
However, it is undeniable that under the impetus of Yao'er's move, those courtiers who were originally unstoppable also felt ashamed, and took out various amounts of silver taels to relieve the refugees.
Nan Xueyu smiled slightly, her expression was stunned, "After returning to my mother, there is indeed something to do." ”
Seeing her different smile, the Queen Mother knew that something was wrong, and touched her cheek, "Girl, is it your calculation, huh?" She knows Xue Yu's mind too well, and if she can let Yao'er take out so many silver taels, Xue Yu can do it.
Nan Xueyu held the queen mother's hand coquettishly, her face was slightly red, "The queen mother made fun of her son! In fact, it was not the calculation of the son, it was just that the wing king was willing to gamble and lose." Then she told Murong Yao about the bet, as for the design of the useless medicine he bought back the top ten cars, she didn't say it, I believe Murong Yao wouldn't slap himself and say this.
"I see," the Queen Mother suddenly felt funny, "You girl, you are really bold, in case you lose, wouldn't you ...... cheap Yao'er." In Xue Yu's lifelong events, she is selfish, and only hopes that Xue Yu can marry Ye'er or make a shadow, and other than that, she doesn't think about others.
Murong Ye has always believed in Nan Xueyu unconditionally, and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, Xue Yu will not lose, and if she loses, won't she still have a son?"
Nan Xueyu's face turned even redder, and she said angrily, "Night, don't talk nonsense in front of the queen mother!"
The Queen Mother smiled, "It's nothing, but Xue Yu, how do you think about your life's events? Why don't you say it, and the mourning family will make the decision for you?"
Nan Xueyu was suddenly embarrassed and embarrassed, "Queen Mother, Erchen, Erchen haven't thought about this matter yet, let's talk about it later, later, now that Dayan is in great trouble, how can Erchen only think about himself." She has always refused to think about it, because she doesn't know how to minimize the harm to those who have a heart for her, and she is in a dilemma.
It seems that Xue Yu still hasn't thought about it. The Queen Mother didn't want to force her to reply now, but she was worried that Murong Ye would not be able to accept it, so she subconsciously glanced at him, but saw that he looked like usual and looked very confident, it seemed that he knew it, and she was a little relieved, "That's it, okay, then wait until the current difficulties have passed." The treasury is already in an emergency, and it will not be long before the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and the mourning family has sent requests to other countries to borrow grain, and I don't know if there will be a response. ”
Nan Xueyu bowed her head slightly and pondered, remembering that in the previous life, the Queen Mother did send a request to other countries to borrow grain, but all countries considered their own interests, except for the face of the Great Xia Kingdom in Murong Ye: his mother concubine is the Princess Feiyan of the Great Xia Kingdom, although she has been dead for many years, but this point of affection is always to be talked about, they sent 20,000 stone grain, 20,000 pieces of winter clothes, other countries refused to lend on the grounds of insufficient rice and grain, although the Queen Mother was angry, but there was nothing to do.
"Erchen thinks that they may not be willing to lend," Murong Ye's eyes were cold, revealing a sense of absoluteness, "They have always regarded my Dayan as a great enemy, and they want to get rid of my Dayan as soon as possible, but now that Dayan is in trouble, they are naturally happy to see it, and it is strange that they will lend food to help us tide over the difficulties." ”
The strength of the countries is equal, because Dayan is located in a land near mountains and rivers, so it has always been rich in land and rich in products, and it has always been the target of other countries.
The Queen Mother sighed, although she was angry, she was helpless, "This is also human nature, so you can't pin all your hopes on them." The treasury is empty
It is already an indisputable fact, and what the mourning family is worried about is that those rice grain stores will take this opportunity to raise the price of rice, and the people's lives will become more and more difficult!"
Nan Xueyu raised her eyes and sneered secretly, the queen mother is really wise, she is right, it was exactly the case in the previous life, but she had already taken precautions in advance and comforted, "The queen mother is temporarily relieved, those rice grain store owners didn't expect this crisis, so they sold almost all the rice and grain in advance, even if they wanted to raise the price of rice, they didn't have much grain in stock, and they couldn't make any waves." ”
"Oh?" this was a big surprise to the Queen Mother, "how do you know? Then where did they sell the rice grain?" If all the rice grain stores in the capital are sold out, a few warehouses will not be able to hold them, which shows that there are so many of them, and if this person who buys rice and grain has bad intentions, it will be even worse.
For this matter, Murong Ye already knew about it from Mo Rongying, and it was also out of Xue Yu's idea, so he didn't doubt it much, and explained, "After returning to his mother, it was Rongying. ”
"What?" the Queen Mother became more and more surprised, "Ying'er, how could he buy so much rice grain?" Could it be that Ying'er expected this disaster, when did he become so smart and able to predict the prophet? In fact, she still didn't know how many twists and turns the matter of medicinal materials had gone through, otherwise she would have asked why Nan Xueyu had the ability to be a prophet.
Nan Xueyu smiled quietly, "Queen Mother, in fact, it's not Brother Mo's unpredictable prophet, hasn't he always been in business, he thinks more than others, and he can be somewhat predictable, some time ago, it was rainy and rainy, he thought that it might affect the crop harvest, so he bought a large amount of rice and grain in case of emergency, but he didn't expect to really let him do it." ”
The Queen Mother probably felt that it was understandable for her to say this, so she nodded with a smile, a little relieved, "In this way, Ying'er has also done a big thing for the mourning family! With these rice grains for the time being, it can still be supported, but it is difficult to say what will happen to other countries." ”
"Queen Mother," Nan Xueyu's eyes flashed suddenly, and she had an idea, "Erchen thinks that other countries are unwilling to lend grain, and part of the reason may be that we will not be able to repay it, since they are unwilling to lend, why don't we pay them to buy grain to solve their urgent needs." ”
"Buy?" The Queen Mother and Murong Ye glanced at each other, although they felt that this method was feasible, but they were also worried that other countries would sell rice and grain to Dayan at a high price, which was also very worrying, "But this treasury,"
"Don't worry, isn't there a hundred thousand taels donated by the Winged King," Nan Xueyu's words were not without mockery, "Not to mention the part donated by the officials of the DPRK and China, and Brother Mo will not sit idly by, these add up to a lot of money, not to mention," she suddenly smiled wisely, "There are not a few rich businessmen in our Dayan, they can save many people by casually taking out some silver taels." ”
Murong Ye's eyes were even colder, "For the sake of being rich and unkind, it's strange that they will make a move." "The richer the people, the more picky, this is an iron law, and the court can't force them, what can be done.
Nan Xueyu raised her eyebrows, but she was very confident, "That's not necessarily, no matter how rich they are, they have to eat, now Brother Mo is choking the throats of everyone in the capital, night, how did he sell the medicine for the plague, don't you know?"
Murong Ye's eyes suddenly sharpened: Yes, it's like selling medicine, looking at the price of people, you can also have a lot of income. Don't say that they are not righteous, it is those rich businessmen who do not save them when they see death, and it is only natural that they will be beaten hard.
The Queen Mother said blankly, "How is the medicine for the plague?" Xue Yu, what do you mean?"
Nan Xueyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't be impatient, the sons and nights will definitely handle this matter, and the queen mother can rest assured." ”
The Queen Mother knew that she had always been wise and acted in her own way, and she had a night to take care of, of course she was not worried, "This is the best, the mourning family will be done by you, you just know it in your hearts." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, the sons know. ”
After the discussion, Nan Xueyu and Murong Ye came out of Fushou Palace, and before they walked far, a guard hurriedly came over, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yue, Princess Yanning! Princess, the big thing is not good, General Feng has contracted the plague!"
