Zhongli stood at the intersection, looking at the chaos outside, and couldn't help but smile.

It's time for things to happen a little high, otherwise wouldn't you be sorry for the arrangement he has made for so long?

"Why don't you give food? Why don't you give us food? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Give food, give food! ”

"Beat them, beat them, if we don't give them food, we will rob them!"

"Grab it! We want food! ”

……

The chaotic scene made everyone gather around this side, there were fights, onlookers, and indignant people who went up to help, and even those who took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, so the matter became bigger and bigger.

Zhongli took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and slowly left the place, but there was still a little joy and joy on his face.

Things are finally making progress.

Soon, the matter was suppressed.

However, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three.

The appearance of this incident added something to the hearts of all the victims, it turned out that they could not only sit back and wait for someone to come and distribute relief food to them, but they could also resist the officers and soldiers.

I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf.

So, between starving to death and still having a glimmer of hope to grab food, most of them put their choices on the back burner.

These young warriors, who either have their own young children behind them or elderly parents, it doesn't matter if they starve to death, they always have to plan for their children.

So, first a granary in the capital was robbed, then a second, and then a third.

The emperor was so angry that he could only order the officers and soldiers to guard the granary, and then when he encountered the kind of people who grabbed the grain, they were all arrested.

But as more and more people were caught, the officials of the capital also began to write to the emperor, saying that they couldn't go on like this, and after arresting those people, they would have to provide them with food, so many people, they couldn't afford to raise them!

Zhongli stood on the main hall, listening to the people of the criminal department complaining to the emperor like this, Zhongli slowly lowered his head, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Damn, what do I want you all to eat? Do you only know how to eat and don't know how to solve the problem? What am I going to do? What can be done to resolve the situation here? ”

The Emperor yelled at them in a fit of rage.

But at this time, the military department Shangshu also stood up and arched his hand towards the emperor seriously.

"Your Majesty, there is no military ration in the military camp now, and if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that the ministers will cause a mutiny."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Mutiny! But it's not the same as now when the homeless people attack the soldiers and grab the food.

The mutiny in the barracks is equivalent to a mutiny, from ancient times to the present, how many people, how many emperors have relied on mutiny and then gathered a group of people to start a rebellion, and finally won the victory?

In his previous life, a person once said that power came out from under the barrel of a gun, and without the protection of the barrel of a gun, the emperor could only let others slaughter him.

So after hearing this, the emperor directly shifted his gaze to Zhongli and glared at him angrily.

"Tobe Shangshu, what do you say?"

At this time, there were no good words at all, but the emperor looked at Zhongli coldly and angrily called him his current official position.

Zhongli lowered his head to block the corners of his lips, but after a moment, he adjusted his expression and knelt directly towards the emperor.

"The emperor is angry, this matter Weichen is already trying to change, and even Weichen thinks that he will take out 30,000 taels of silver from his home for emergency purposes first, and when the business of the household department is done, he will definitely make some gains."

Thirty thousand taels?

As soon as Zhongli opened his mouth, it was thirty thousand taels, and the eyes of others looking at him slowly changed, and the biggest change was anger and anger.

Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and Zhongli directly opened his mouth to say 30,000, so do they want to give it?

If you don't give it, you will definitely have a bad impression in the emperor's heart, and if you give it, how much will you give? If you give less, you will still be recorded, but if you give more, they will also have to live!

Zhongli knelt in the center of the main hall, looking at the eyes of others who wanted to kill her, the old god was there, looking at the nose and the nose, just a pair of eyes looking at the emperor with certainty, and his face was full of sincerity.

The anger on the Emperor's face eased slightly, but he still looked at Zhongli uncertainly.

"Zhong Qingjia, are you sure?"

You know, 30,000 taels is not a small amount.

Zhongli nodded affirmatively, and even smiled at the emperor, his eyes full of affirmation.

"Yes, Wechen is sure. 30,000 taels, Weichen has been prepared, and when he gets off the court, he can send it to the household department to solve the urgent need. ”

The emperor finally reassured and smiled at Zhongli.

"Good! This is my good minister, this is my good minister! ”

Zhongli couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, smiled at the emperor, and stood back in her seat under the emperor's gaze, she knew that her current crisis was over.

Then, the performances of other officials began.

One by one, everyone began to report to the emperor how much money they wanted to donate.

Zhongli watched the smile on the emperor's face grow stronger and stronger, and felt the murderous gaze on his body, he couldn't help but close his eyes, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart became stronger and stronger.

It's just that Wang Qinglin has a different view on this matter.

"Second son, you are setting yourself on fire. You attracted all the firepower of those princes and ministers, and you relieved the emperor of his urgent needs, but what? If they do get angry, aren't you worried about your safety? ”

Zhongli turned his head and shook his head at Wang Qinglin with some emotion.

"No, I'm not worried, because I know, there's still you out there. Brother-in-law, if something happens to me in the capital, please calm down. Remember, be sure to contact Wan Qianming, he knows when to make a move, and he also knows what to do. I've always said that we're in a mutually beneficial relationship, you know? ”

Wang Qinglin still doesn't understand.

Why reciprocity? According to his thoughts, Zhongli is now tossing Yuanwu not lightly, but in his opinion, this is completely paving the way for Wan Qianming.

He thought of a reason, took a breath, and then slowly looked at Zhongli and spoke softly.

"Could it be that the second prince really likes the Seventh Prince?"

Ha?

Zhongli was amused by Wang Qinglin's words, she shook her head at Wang Qinglin, and looked at her with some tears and laughter.

"Why do you ask that? We are naturally hostile, how could I fall in love with him? My brother-in-law was tired of worrying. I just, have my things to do. ”

Suddenly a pair of dark, dark eyes appeared in his mind, then a face, then a person.

When the man really appeared in her mind, Zhongli sighed softly in his heart.

In the end, she still overestimated herself.

Try to find something to do for yourself every day, and keep yourself busy every day, because you don't want to think about these things of love and love.

However, that person has taken root in his heart, and he wants to pull it out, but it is extremely difficult.

"Although I don't know what the second son wants to do, but please think more about the people who are still at home when you encounter something, they are waiting for us to go back. Didn't you say that? We can all go back, safely, and go back. ”

Zhongli smiled and nodded towards Wang Qinglin.

"Yes, it's safe, go back."

Emperor Yuanwu's anger vanished without a trace of a large sum of money donated by the ministers of the court, but things developed far beyond his expectations.

Because, now there is money in Yuanwu and there is no way to buy food, and the grain that can be bought for one tael of silver in the past now needs ten taels or even more.

After the occurrence of the great drought in the west, those grain merchants began to restrict the buying and selling of grain, and even bought the grain of the peasant households at a high price, hoarded it, and then sold it at a high price.

The emperor is still losing his temper in the palace, because when he was eating today, he found that the original fine rice had become brown rice.

He called someone over and asked about it, only to find out that there was a problem with the palace procurement.

In the past, you could buy polished rice at the same price, but now you can only buy a small amount of brown rice.

Zhongli was called into the palace by the emperor again, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, she first reported the good news to the emperor, saying how many cubs their livestock had recently laid and what the future prospect was, so that the emperor temporarily forgot the sorrow just now.

But when this matter was finished, the emperor's face immediately sank, and he glared at Zhongli angrily and told him about the situation he had encountered.

Zhongli's face also sank, but she didn't = say anything else, but arched her hand towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, according to the bold character of this grain merchant, the Zhujiu clan is all light land. They are all the people of Yuanwu, and now that Yuanwu is in trouble, shouldn't they contribute their own strength? Even at this time to make a lot of ill-gotten gains. Your Majesty, this kind of person must not be tolerated. ”

Zhu Jiu Clan?

The Emperor's eyes narrowed, and then immediately they lit up again.

What is after the Nine Clans?

Raid your home!

These are all grain merchants, not to mention the money, the key is food!

As a result, as soon as Zhongli came out of the palace, the three largest grain merchants in the capital were all exterminated, and they were not given a chance to defend themselves at all.

Zhongli was even more satisfied, the emperor was moving so fast, he would do it here and there.

However, he likes this kind of vigorous and resolute person.

The emperor did too much in this matter, and there were the most rich people in the capital, and after knowing about this matter, they all asked the ministers of the court.

Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have not been separated, and everyone basically helps each other.

It was found out that this incident only happened after Zhongli left the palace, and the ministers, who were originally dissatisfied with Zhongli's occupation of the emperor's heart, began to write to the emperor to impeach Zhongli.

On those folds, Zhongli's crimes were listed one by one, so that Zhongli couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw it.

Even if he is not married until now, it is a reason for their impeachment.

However, the emperor has solved his urgent needs several times in a row because Zhong Li has solved his urgent needs, and even Zhong Li was the first to raise money for him, so he naturally occupies a place in the emperor's heart, so he dismissed all of them without saying a word.
