"This ...... The old slave has been in the palace all the time, and I really don't know this. He Taigao said embarrassedly.

"I probably know something, those children should be from the countryside, the rural conditions are more difficult, but over the years, many families in the capital have not had a good time, mainly because the weather has been relatively abnormal in recent years, and everyone's harvest is not good." Zhao Luan said beside him.

"Hmm." Wang Chong nodded silently, secretly saying that he had to find a way to increase the yield of crops on everyone's land.

In the final analysis, the Great Yan Dynasty was still in an agrarian society, and the harvest of crops was very important to the farmers.

"Let's go get something to eat first."

Wang Chong walked into an inn that looked quite large.

"Guest officer, how many?"

The shopkeeper ran over eagerly, but before he got close to Wang Chong, He Taigao stopped in front of the little er: "Stay away from my grandfather." ”

"Yes, yes!"

The shopkeeper knew at a glance that Wang Zhong was not an ordinary person, such a character has a lot of silver, if he meets a good one, he is comfortable to serve, and he can reward himself with a few small pieces of silver casually, which is also a lot of income.

"Just a few of us, give me a better place downstairs." Wang Zhong said.

"Okay, let's go to the east, that place is by the window."

"Okay."

After sitting down, Wang Chong ordered a few dishes casually, and Xiao Er smiled and went down to prepare.

On the table, Wang Zhong and Zhao Luan were sitting, and He Taigao and others were sitting at the two tables next to them.

A group of people blocked Wang Chong and Zhao Luan's table to prevent idlers from approaching.

This made Wang Chong a little funny, this He is too high for anything, but he is too careful in doing things.

At this time, I heard the storyteller in the inn talking.

Listening carefully, the storyteller seemed to be talking about his beheading of Lu Pingying's house.

The audience on the side applauded and applauded.

"Mingjun is alive, since Lu Pingying's death, those people in the Lu Party have been terrified............"

What this storyteller said is also mysterious enough, there are many things that are not in the right mouth, that is, he knows a rough idea.

But Zhao Luan listened to it with relish, and asked Ning Er beside him to reward a piece of silver.

"Luan'er, this person is just nonsense, what do you want to reward him?" Wang Zhong laughed.

"Of course he will be rewarded for speaking so majestically about you."

Soon, the meal was served.

The food here tastes okay, but it's much worse than the one in the palace.

It's no wonder, the palace doesn't say that the chef is carefully selected, just say that the ingredients are not ordinary, if they are not delicious, then it is strange.

"Xianggong, where are we going after eating?" Zhao Luan asked.

"Take a carriage and go out of the city to the countryside."

After seeing the lives of the people in the city, it is natural to go to the countryside to have a look.

Wang Chong has always had an idea of how to improve land production.

In this society, no one is lazy, everyone works hard.

However, due to the weather, the crop yield is not high.

But is it really for this reason?

Wang Chongke remembered that his royal fertile land was still producing well, and there must be cats in it.

The biggest problem is most likely the uneven distribution of land.

There are too many landlords, and the grain produced is over-hit in the hands of a few.

Those who rent land can only work for people, and they can't save any silver at all in a year.

In this way, if there is bad weather, disaster or something, there will be disaster victims.

So Wang thought again: fight the local tyrants and divide the land.

However, this is too broad and has to be taken step by step.

"Little Er, this is a reward for you."

After eating, Wang Zhong handed the shopkeeper three pieces of silver.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed: "Thank you." ”

"Master asks you something, how is your business here recently?"

"If you go back to Gongzi, the weather has been cold recently, and there are fewer people who come to drink." The shopkeeper didn't know why Wang Zhong asked this, but he still answered truthfully.

"Uncle, it's okay, let's eat."

"My child hasn't eaten for a few days, okay, let's give a steamed bun."

At this time, a few beggars came to the door, and they looked quite miserable.

"Go, go, where are the beggars, get out of here." The shopkeeper went over to drive away.

Wang Zhong stopped him and said, "Hey, it's all poor people, what are you doing to drive people away, how many buns do you have here, I bought them all and sent them over." ”

"The son is kind-hearted, and the little one knows."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went over to clean up.

The diners at the table on the side shook their heads secretly after looking at the beggars, "Hey, what's the use of copying so many corrupt officials, I don't know how many people have frozen to death this winter." ”

"But isn't it, it's better not to copy, at least those corrupt officials sometimes fake benevolence and righteousness and show kindness or something, hey............"

"I heard that the rivers on the other side of Liucheng are frozen, and many people can't survive, so they all come out to ask for food, and if it goes on like this, the world will be chaotic."

"The border has not been peaceful these days, and many people have fled, saying that from time to time there are robbers and murderers, and the key is that those guards don't care, hey......"

"The emperor is still too confused."

"Be a little quieter, now the emperor has reused the East Factory, and the people in the East Factory have heard it, and they can't eat and ..................walk around."

Listening to these people's words, He Taigao walked up to Wang Chong and whispered: "Emperor, our family will give them a lecture." ”

"No need, let's go."

Wang Chong shook his head, what these diners said was actually right, arresting a few corrupt officials is certainly very happy, but it does not help to improve the lives of the people.

After coming out, Zhao Luan sighed: "Xianggong doesn't have to worry, I believe it will get better and better in the future." ”

"It's a pity that there is no time to wait, just like those diners said, in such a cold weather, I don't know how many people will die."

Saying that, a cold light flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, there is no way to solve it at the moment, but to guard against those bandits and robbers, at least the situation can be stabilized.

Secondly, there is disaster relief.

A few days ago, Wang revisited that there is still a lot of grain and grass in the treasury, and it can be considered to be opened.

In addition, he remembered that according to the previous state system, every large city had to have a reserve granary in case of emergency.

Thinking in his mind, Wang Chong and his party went out of the city.

Sure enough, along the way, Wang Chong saw many beggars.

"Uncle, okay, okay, this is my daughter, very smart, give her food, let her be a maid."

"This is my son, who is either, I can't support it."

Along the way, there are many people who sell their children and daughters.

Zhao Luan, who watched this scene, was also secretly frightened, if it goes on like this, the Great Yan Dynasty is indeed prone to chaos.

Soon, Wang Chong came to the edge of a village and was about to enter, when an incident happened at the entrance of the village, which made Wang Chong's face drop.

In front of him is a boy in a brocade robe, who is pulling a girl with a group of his own dog legs.

"Wang Xiaoni, your parents owe my family a year's land rent, and since there is no money to repay, you will pay off the debt."

Brother Gongzi shouted with a smile, and many people stopped to watch this scene along the way, but no one dared to step forward.

"Ye Gongzi, the harvest in the field is not good this year, please be tolerant and let my Xiaoni go, she is only twelve years old......"

Next to the girl, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, cried and shouted.

"Damn!"

A dog-legged man was quick and kicked the man to the ground: "What are you guys, are you reasonable to owe the land rent?" ”

"It's a blessing that my young master has fallen in love with your daughter, get out!"

"Woo woo, daddy, mother......"

Wang Xiaoni cried into a tearful person, her strength was too small, she couldn't resist these big men, and she was about to be arrested.

And the so-called Ye Gongzi pointed at the middle-aged man and woman arrogantly and shouted: "You dare to cross with me? Next year, the land will not be rented to you, see what you do! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Luan couldn't stand it anymore, "Xianggong ......"

"I know, Ho Tai Gao."

"The old slave is here."

"In the name of Qincha, you arrested this kid and forced him to ask whose heir it was, why he was so ignorant."

"The old slave obeys!"

A hint of viciousness flashed in He Taigao's eyes.

In the past, the emperor was not sympathetic to the people's feelings, and as a dog slave, he also helped the emperor mess around.

But now that the emperor is dedicated to the people, as a qualified dog slave, he naturally has to help the emperor wholeheartedly serve the people.

Immediately, He Taigao walked over with two guards.

"Bang!"

He Taigao grabbed Brother Gongzi's neck and shouted: "Qin is handling the case, and the idle people are out of the way." ”

"Chin ...... Governors! ”

Ye Gongzi's face changed: "This lord, is there a misunderstanding, my family is the Ye family, and my father is a well-known Ye landlord in the town, and he has a great relationship with several ministers." ”

"You're the one who caught you."

He Taigao doesn't care who you know with him, and he slashed down with one palm, knocking him unconscious.

The rest of the doglegs originally wanted to come over to save people, but a few guards drew their swords on the spot, so frightened that these people didn't dare to move.

After that, Wang Zhong asked two guards to bring the boy back first, and he led the others into the village.

"Wang Xiaoni, you are safe, don't be afraid."

Zhao Luan comforted Wang Xiaoni.

"Thank you, sister, you guys are so nice." Wang Xiaoni said in horror.

"Chincha-sama is here, Chincha-sama is here............"

For a time, many people in the village came to see Wang Chong.

How did they know that the king in front of them was the current emperor, but in their impression, the emperor was enjoying himself in the palace all day long, how could he come to their remote corner.

If it's Chincha-sama, then it's better to talk about it.

"Caomin is the village chief here, Wu Youyong, see Lord Qincha." The village chief trotted over and quickly knelt down.

"No need to be polite, now this ghost weather is freezing cold, and the emperor is worried that the people will suffer from the cold, so he specially ordered me to come and see, what difficulties do you have, just tell me." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Wang Xiaoni's parents trusted Wang Chong very much because they had just been rescued, and said to the villagers: "Yes, just now the young master of the Ye family wanted to arrest my Xiaoni, and it was this master who saved us." ”

When they were told this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all talked to Wang Chong.

"My lord, the field rent is too expensive, and this year's harvest is not good, so the Ye family still forces us to pay the rent."

"My house is leaking wind and rain, and I don't know how to spend this winter."

"My lord, this is my daughter, please take her, she can do laundry and cooking............"
