Chapter 507: Grain is tight in the frontier

"To tell you the truth, there is a shortage of food in the border areas now, and the treasury cannot come up with so much food for the time being, so I am worried about how to solve the food problem." When Zhao Yun saw Shen Gongzi, he expressed the sorrow in his heart.

When Shen Gongzi heard this, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the emperor is for this matter, what's so difficult about this?" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yun looked at Shen Gongzi with some expectation in his eyes: "Could it be that you have any good ideas?" ”

Shen Gongzi nodded, and then said his thoughts: "The emperor should know, the minister has been doing business abroad all the year round, and he has a wide range of knowledge, and he naturally has partners in the capital, so the food shortage is not difficult." ”

"It's really good to be like this, it's a big problem for me." Zhao Yun was very happy.

"Actually, the emperor, you just think about this matter too complicated, you can ask the rich merchants or grain shops in the city to open warehouses and release grain, and let them donate some grain, and then the emperor will do it to the person who donates the most grain, I believe they are all willing."

Shen Gongzi said his own method, and the head was the way, and Zhao Yun also had a little more admiration in his heart when he heard it.

"The minister has been doing business abroad all the year round, so he understands the minds of businessmen very well, some of their families have been doing business for generations, and they really want to let someone in their family be an official, but unfortunately a businessman is a businessman, and there is a set of business, and there is nothing outstanding in reading."

Saying that, Shen Gongzi paused for a moment, and then continued: "If the emperor releases this news, the problem of grain in Xinjiang over there will be solved. ”

Zhao Yun listened to Shen Gongzi's words, and suddenly opened up, and praised again and again: "Wonderful, wonderful, you can get a sesame petty official to do by donating grain, how could I not think of this method, it seems that I am still not as good as you." ”

Shen Gongzi smiled slightly, and said modestly: "What did the emperor say, the emperor is busy with daily government affairs, and he is engaged in national affairs, and the ministers are just some experience accumulated in foreign business." ”

Zhao Yun was very satisfied with Shen Gongzi's humble attitude, "It's because you are too modest, in this way, let's go back to the imperial study together to discuss this matter, and by the way, I will draw up another holy decree and announce it." ”

After returning to the imperial study, Zhao Yun drafted a holy decree: "How about you take a look at this holy decree that I have prepared?" ”

When Shen Gongzi heard this, he stepped forward and took a closer look, "The grain in the frontier is tight, I hope that people with lofty ideals can open a warehouse to release grain for the frontier, and those who donate more grain can be named Jiupin officials." Shen Gongzi read out the contents of the holy decree, and then nodded: "Yes, that's what it means." ”

"Come, announce this decree." After Zhao Yun handed over the holy decree to the eunuch beside him, he turned around and said to Shen Gongzi: "Now we are also cooperative." ”

"Not bad." Shen Gongzi smiled slightly: "Now the relationship between the minister and the emperor is not only the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but also the relationship of cooperation. ”

"And family ties." Zhao Yun laughed and said, now that the problem of grain in the frontier has been solved, the haze he has been hazing for many days can finally disappear at this moment.

"Now that the emperor's sorrow has been resolved, the minister will retire first." Shen Gongzi saw that there was nothing to do, so he wanted to leave.

Who knows, but was stopped by Zhao Yun: "Are you going to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" ”

Although Shen Gongzi didn't know the reason why Zhao Yun asked like this, he still nodded truthfully: "Not bad." ”

"That's right, I went with you to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I have been troubled by the border food problem for a long time recently, and I haven't visited my father-in-law and mother-in-law for a long time, so I happened to go with you today to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Shen Gongzi thought about it, so he didn't say anything, and walked with Zhao Yun to the palace where Shen's mother and Shen's father were.

When Zhao Yun and Shen Gongzi came to Shen's mother and Shen's father's palace, they saw that they were admiring flowers in the courtyard: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, are you still used to living in this palace?" ”

Seeing Zhao Yun, Shen's mother and Shen's father hurriedly saluted Zhao Yun: "Meet the emperor, the emperor Jin'an." ”

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, we are all a family, so there is no need to be polite." Zhao Yun stopped Shen's mother and Shen's father, who wanted to kneel and salute.

"How can this work, you are the emperor, the ceremony cannot be abolished, the emperor still don't shirk." Shen's father and Shen's mother knew that Zhao Yun was filial to them, and they were very happy in their hearts.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't shirk the two of you anymore, etiquette is dead, don't care too much, you are the parents of the kite, and the kite is the queen of the dynasty, and the two of you are the current abbot."

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Shen's father and Shen's mother were shocked, and waved their hands again and again: "How can this work." ”

"What's not to do? Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't worry about the two of you, let's go, let's talk in the house. Zhao Yun knew that Shen's father and Shen's mother might not be used to it for a while, so he no longer forced them.

Zhao Yun and his entourage came to the palace, and Zhao Yun asked again: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, are you still used to living in this palace?" ”

"Get used to it, everything in this palace is naturally good, and we are relieved to see that everything is okay with Kite and Jue'er." Father Shen said these words with satisfaction.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely protect Kite and Jue'er, and I will never let them be harmed at all." Zhao Yun swore a promise.

Seeing this, Shen's father and Shen's mother nodded, they naturally believed Zhao Yun, after all, Zhao Yun's affection for Lin Yuan couldn't be hidden.

Just as a few people were talking, a eunuch walked in happily: "Your Majesty, there is a rich and noble family in Beijing who is willing to open a warehouse to help grain, and promises that as long as the emperor speaks, there will be as much grain as he wants." ”

Hearing the eunuch's words, Zhao Yun and Shen Gongzi looked at each other and smiled: "Okay, reward, there are many rewards." ”

"What is the opening of the warehouse to help the grain?" Shen's father and Shen's mother were confused on the side.

"Father, mother, this is a court matter, we don't want to ask." Shen Gongzi saw that Shen's father and Shen's mother had overstepped, and hurriedly stopped the two of them.

Who knows, Zhao Yun didn't care at all: "It's okay, my family, father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's like this, the recent wars on the frontier have been continuous, and the food is tight, so I have been worried about this matter in the past few days, who knows that the eldest brother only a few words today will solve the things that have plagued me for a long time." ”

"Really?" Father Shen and Mother Shen looked at Shen Gongzi in disbelief, they were curious about what Shen Gongzi said in order to get the emperor's approval.

"Really, the eldest brother told me that there are many wealthy businessmen who want to enter Beijing as officials because their families have been in business for generations, and the eldest brother asked me to draw up a holy decree, saying that those who donate the most grain can get a position as a nine-grade official, so that those who want to be officials can come and fight."

Zhao Yun told the story of the incident, and Shen's father and Shen's mother looked at Shen Gongzi with appreciation in their eyes: "I didn't expect you to be able to share the emperor's worries, it's really gratifying." ”

"The eldest brother is indeed a rare business talent, and there are some things that the eldest brother can think about thoughtfully, unlike me, who has been bothered for many days, and has never thought of a good way."

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities and thinks about a lot of things, but he didn't think of it for a while."

Just when a few people were talking, Shen Qiao led Zhao Jue and walked in, Shen's father and Shen mother saw Zhao Jue and Shen Qiao coming, and they couldn't close their mouths happily: "Jue'er, Qiao'er, come and let grandmother hug you." ”

Mother Shen took the lead in holding Zhao Jue and Shen Qiao in her arms, and Father Shen was a little red when he saw it, "Madam, you have left me a no." ”

"Who told you to walk slowly, besides, Jue'er and Qiao'er like me as a grandmother more than you as a grandfather."

Seeing that Shen's mother and Shen's father were arguing because of snatching the child, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

"Oh, Daddy, I've heard you two arguing from afar, and what's the matter?" Lin Kite and the chivalrous girl walked in together, and heard Shen's mother and Shen's father arguing, and they were very helpless.

"It's not all your father, he is not happy to see me playing with my grandchildren."

Lin Yuan looked at Shen's father and looked at Shen's mother very helplessly, so he asked him, "Dad, is what my mother said true?" ”

"Your mother has said so, what else can I say."

When everyone heard Shen's father say this, they couldn't help laughing, Shen's mother looked at Shen's father pitiful, so she kindly handed Zhao Jue to him: "Na, I'll give you a hug of my good grandson first, and after a while, the kite will say that I bullied you." ”

Shen Gongzi saw the chivalrous girl standing quietly on the side, so he cautiously approached the chivalrous girl's side: "Lady, are you still angry with your husband?" ”

The chivalrous girl didn't want to pay attention to Shen Gongzi at this time, so she moved to the side without saying anything, and Shen Gongzi thought that the chivalrous girl didn't forgive herself, so she followed.

"Lady, I really know it's wrong, I really have nothing to do with that palace maid, she posted it herself."

Mother Shen and the others were talking and laughing, and suddenly saw Shen Gongzi and the chivalrous girl as if they were making an awkward quarrel: "What's wrong with you, chivalrous girl?" Quarreled? ”

Seeing Shen's mother talking to herself, the chivalrous woman hurriedly walked over: "Mother, we're fine." ”

"Nothing? Do you look like you're all right? Mother Shen obviously didn't believe the words of the chivalrous woman.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan had no choice but to tell what happened, and then did not forget to add: "I have already punished that palace maid, so sister-in-law, don't be angry anymore." ”

After speaking, Lin Yuan gave Shen Gongzi a look and motioned him to hurry over and say good things, Shen Gongzi hurriedly walked over when he saw this: "Lady, can you forgive me?" ”

Seeing this, Shen's mother beside her blamed Shen Gongzi: "Since you have already married a family, you should stay away from those women." ”

Seeing that Shen's mother was angry, the chivalrous woman hurriedly said to everyone: "Mother, I'm fine, I forgive him." ”

"Really, lady, have you really forgiven me?" Shen Gongzi was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words of the chivalrous woman.

Just when everyone's eyes were on Shen Gongzi and the chivalrous girl, Shen's father suddenly shouted, and everyone's eyes had to look at Shen's father, and found something that made people cry and laugh, only to see Zhao Jue pulling Shen's father's beard tightly.
