"Your Majesty, your subordinates will retire first." Lin Hui bowed solemnly towards Yun Chen.

Everyone present knew the preciousness of the spirit beast, and they also knew that Yun Chen had done it this time.

However, this monarch who put the people first won the hearts of every old and new courtiers present.

After Lin Hui left, the others continued their deliberations.

"As for the grain, you can pick up some from the shops of the major families in the capital, presumably at such a critical time, the various families should not refuse." Deng Junxi spoke first, and it was more appropriate for him to talk about this matter.

The other ministers glanced at each other, and they had no opinion on this approach, after all, human lives are at stake.

"But it's still not enough, although there is some surplus grain in the capital, but after all, the population is large, the demand is also large, and the grain that can be transferred out is very small, so the northwest can only cope with it for a period of time." An old minister spoke.

The crops in the northwest are now dead, and it will take a long time to replant them after this drought passes, and during this time, the grain in the northwest will have to come from other places, and the grain in the capital cannot cope with so many people for so long.

"You can transfer some grain from the Jiangnan side first, last year's harvest in Jiangnan was good, and this year there will be a big disaster, so it seems that Jiangnan still has a lot of surplus grain."

Xu Lizhao spoke, and the rest of the people's eyes lit up when they heard him. That's right, grain can be temporarily transferred from Jiangnan for emergency purposes to solve this difficulty first.

However, their eyes soon dimmed, although it was possible to transfer grain from Jiangnan, but it was not easy to talk about, not to mention the problem of transportation distance, it would be even more difficult to buy grain back from which merchants in Jiangnan alone.

At this time, the Jiangnan side is not like the side of the capital, with Yunchen pressing, the merchants dare not raise the price, and as for the family, it is even more impossible.

The grain merchants in Jiangnan raised the price high, and even if they were successfully transported to Jiangnan, the people in the northwest could not afford it.

Yun Chen pursed the corners of her mouth, if she had the temperament of her previous life, she would have sent people to deter those people by means of thunderbolt and let them spit out the food, but now, she is in this position, there are too many things to worry about, and this method is not feasible at all.

But if you want those businessmen to voluntarily give up such high profits, they will definitely refuse. The word profiteer is not made up!

However, hundreds of thousands of people in the northwest are waiting for food to save their lives, and if the food is not available, then hundreds of thousands of people will be scattered on the streets, so food must be found.

"Among the Jiangnan family, the most influential should be the Feng family, right?" For a moment, Yun Chen broke the silence.

The dozen or so officials below were stunned for a moment, but immediately knew the meaning of Yun Chen's words. Yin Fengyuebai of Jingzhao Mansion in the capital is the eldest grandson of the Feng family. If Feng Yuebai let the Feng family come forward, the businessmen in Jiangnan would also have to give the Feng family a face.

But...... More than a dozen officials glanced at each other, Maple Yebai had left the Feng family for so many years, would the Feng family take action because of his words?

Yun Chen didn't care about their worries, although Feng Yuebai had been included in the harem by the original owner and left the Feng family for more than five years, but a big family like the Feng family paid more attention to blood, so although Feng Yuebai hadn't gone back for so many years, his status in the Feng family would not have any impact.
