No matter how strongly the ministers objected, it would be useless.

Ji Lie has a strong temper, once he decides what to do, even if there are nine cows, he can't pull it back.

A few days later, Zhou Mingshi was taken into the palace by Su Yin.

Following Su Yin around the palace, he looked disappointed.

"Why do I think this palace is a bit plain?"

"Please remove the word "feeling."

"I suddenly don't have any expectations for this trip."

"Huh?"

"Even the palace has no money to renovate, how much silver can be taken out to build a ship?"

“……”

Su Yin: Why does she feel that Zhou Mingshi is so reasonable?

A moment later, Su Yin brought Zhou Mingshi to Ji Lie's face.

After seeing Ji Lie, he exclaimed, "Aren't you the old brother you met outside the Xuefeng Building before?" ”

shouted "presumptuous", and the chief eunuch directly hit Zhou Mingshi with a folding fan.

Don't ask why the chief eunuch is holding a folding fan, the plot needs to be right.

Baring his teeth and screaming, Zhou Mingshi held his arm and said nothing.

At the same time, he kept muttering in his heart: You can't get carried away just because you have met the emperor! You know, the person in front of you is a son, and you must always maintain your demeanor!

recalled the plot of meeting the emperor in the TV series, and Zhou Mingshi saluted Ji Lie in style.

What the? Do you kneel to his parents with him?

Please, can you not be so secondary.

Ancient times are no better than modern times, and they are nothing in front of imperial power.

How much is the principle worth?

Of course, it's your own life and the favorability of the emperor that are important!

Glancing at Su Yin on the side, he was puzzled: "Su Yin, why don't you kneel?" ”

"Oh, I forgot to talk to you, my father and uncle are sworn brothers. In a sense, I am also half of my uncle's daughter. ”

“……”

Zhou Mingshi: People are more popular than dead people!

After Zhou Mingshi explained the matters to be paid attention to in shipbuilding and the allocation of money, Ji Lie sent him away directly.

After packing his bags, he followed Su Yin to the town by the sea.

After arriving in the town, Liangrong rushed to a nearby inn for a while.

It's too tiring to travel long distances, so you need to have a good meal and take a hot bath.

The second called up, and the two ordered a lot of dishes at once.

Halfway through eating, Su Yin suddenly said, "Shipbuilding has always been your dream, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"You see I've done you such a big favor, why don't you have this meal?"

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Mingshi nodded in response.

Anyway, most of the food they call is vegetarian, and it shouldn't cost much silver.

But when he looked for Er Jiezhang, the whole person was instantly dumbfounded.

"This ...... So expensive? ”

Seeing that Zhou Mingshi was stunned, Su Yin also leaned over.

Knowing the price of the table, her face immediately fell.

"You can't be a black shop, right?"

Shouting "wronged", Er hurriedly took out the store's charge meter and a squeeze.

This is what he learned from the guys in Jinqiong's Mansion City.

Giving a price list in advance and listing a squeeze can prevent some customers from paying their bills.

After seeing the expensive prices of the dishes on the charge list, Su Yin's face became even more ugly.

After paying, she said, "We'll go to other stores later, and if you find that you are biased towards us, don't blame us for being polite." ”

"Don't worry, the prices of other inns are about the same as ours."

Pulling Zhou Mingshi to other places to earn a circle, Su Yin completely sank his face.

"Why is the price of food so expensive in this town? It's even more outrageous than that in the capital! ”

In order to confirm whether his conjecture was correct, Su Yin pulled a common person and asked.

From the mouths of the people, we know that in this town, food is very scarce.

It is precisely because of the lack of food that various shops and inns have inflated the prices of dishes and grains.

Eat a plate of silver in this town, and you can eat a plate of meat in the capital!

"Food in the town is abnormally scarce...... Don't you report to the imperial court and let the people from the imperial court send food? Su Yin asked.

"Report to the court?" The people who answered the question showed a disdainful smile, "How dare they!" ”

"Could it be that they have embezzled a lot of silver and grain?"

"That's not Sakura," he shook his head, and the people replied, "In this county, the status of the prefectural order is a bit awkward, even inferior to some merchants who hold grain in their hands. ”

"Isn't that more time to report to the court?"

"If it were reported to the imperial court, it would definitely be considered that the ability of the prefectural order was insufficient, which led to the current situation. Afraid of being condemned by the imperial court, the county order concealed the situation on this side of the town. Oh, forgot. Even if the county order is willing to report, those businessmen will not agree! Maybe before the people from the imperial court come, this county order will be changed to a 'core'. ”

Stuffing some broken silver into that Rao's hand, Su Yin said, "Thank you for your doubts." ”

After sending the people away, Su Yin fell into a deep contemplative Zheng

The uncle had asked them to borrow someone from the county government to build a ship, but in the current situation, it is impossible to borrow someone.

If you reveal your identity as someone from the capital, you may even bring yourself to death.

Although she is extremely confident in the martial arts of her original body, there is still a Zhou Mingshi by her side, and she can't guarantee the safety of the guy at all times.

found paper and pen, and Su Yin wrote a letter to Ji Liexiu.

The capital must send more people over, otherwise this matter will not be easy to handle.

After writing the letter, Su Yin took Zhou Mingshi for a stroll on the street.

At the same time, she didn't forget to advise: "Zhou Mingshi, don't expose that we are from the capital." ”

"Why?"

"The people here want to hide something, and if they know who we are, they will definitely find a way to kill people."

"This ......"

The foot that stepped forward stiffened, and Zhou Mingshi said with his hands and feet: "Su Yin, you...... Aren't you good at disguise, can you help me make one? ”

"No problem."

After a few moments, the two changed their faces and returned to the street.

Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Su Yin frowned.

She had observed that most of the people in the town were starving to the bone.

The same is true of the people on the streets, not to mention the poor peasants in the villages.

She doesn't comment on how the prefectural order is, but the merchants here are really not a good thing.

Although she is greedy for money, she will definitely not raise the price so high all at once when other people are affected like the merchants here.

"It's normal to increase prices......" Zhou Mingshi said weakly.

"Huh?"

"Scarcity is expensive, and the price will definitely rise if there is no thing, which is the same reason as the previous price increase of pork."

"But it's not appropriate to raise it so high all at once. If you look at the people on the street, none of them are so thin that you can see the bones. ”

"Weird...... It's weird. ”
