Chapter 62: Xi Ze is suspicious
The great good man of the city is gone! The news spread quickly throughout Qiongyu, and this great good man came and left suddenly, and many people in the city had just eaten a full meal and didn't know where they were.
"Do you know what's going on?" Zheng Xize and Jimo Qinghe stood on the street, looking at the few people who were supporting each other and said.
That is, the ink is clear and the eyes are ahead.
"Maybe something has changed, I don't know." The less people know about the fact that Cheng'an Hou did not die, the safer it is.
Zheng Xize glanced at Jimo Qinghe with some suspicion, and was about to say something, but the official who passed the word arrived.
"Lord Zuo Xiang, there are suddenly many grain trucks in the city, and many merchants in Qianze have entered Qiongyu to sell grain publicly."
Ji Mo Qinghe nodded slightly. "I see."
This Meng Jun moved quickly.
"Originally, it was difficult for Qiongyu's people to buy food when they went to Qianze, but now they are taking the initiative to sell grain, I'm afraid that there is something strange, doesn't Lord Zuo Xiang need to go and see?" Zheng Xize asked.
"Zheng Changshi, let's take a look." Ji Mo Qinghe helped his sleeves. "Ding Hanjie, a member of the Zhongshu House, still has important things to report when he comes back from the surrounding counties, so I won't do it."
Zheng Xize didn't have a surprised or curious expression when he saw Jimo Qinghe, it looked more like he was confident, and the doubts that were already hidden in his heart at the moment were even deeper.
"Yes." Zheng Xize finally bowed his head and said.
Meng Jun's handwriting shop is very large, and the entry of Qianze Country Business Travel has hit Qiongyu's wealthy shops hard, making a large number of rice and grain hoarded in warehouses with the intention of selling at a high price worthless.
In desperation, the local grain merchants in Qiongyu had no choice but to open the granary at a low price, and Qiongyu County finally regained its vitality.
"Ruisi, you said that Zuo Xiang seems to have calculated a step-by-step plan from the first day he arrived in Qiongyu County, it seems to be for the people's livelihood, but there are unusual places everywhere, this disaster relief, in addition to quelling people's grievances, whose interests are the greatest?" Late at night, Zheng Xize said with a pen staring at the white rice paper in front of him.
"If you talk about profits, it is naturally the traders, although they buy and sell at a low price, but they make small profits but quick turnover, and they must also make some money." Rees replied as he stood aside.
"Vendors." Zheng Xize made a stroke. "Maintenance."
"My lord, you once said that Lord Zuo seems to have a lot to do with the Weiyun Chamber of Commerce?"
Reiss said.
"It's true, although it doesn't look the same, but it's scary to think about." Zheng Xize stared at the word Weiyun that he had written. "If it weren't tied to the interests of the maintenance movement, why should it be so."
"When the left minister colludes with the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, this is a big deal." Rui Si was also shocked at the moment, and said in a low voice.
Zheng Xize put the pen aside: "There is no need to tell others about this matter, wait until I go back and inform the king of the decision." ”
"Yes." Ruisi said.
The trip of the two of Qiongyu came to an end, and Ding Hanjie did not return to the royal capital with the two because he was sent by Jimo Qinghe to keep an eye on the affairs of Qiongyu's exiles.
On the way, the two did not speak again, and returned to Haotian King Capital all the way without incident, and the two entered the palace in time as soon as they arrived in Haotian, and they knew that he returned and stayed in the palace.
When Shuoge led the two in, Ji Xin was setting up a game of chess, and he heard the sound of the passage and retracted his thoughts.
"Qinghe, Xi Ze, this trip is hard."
The auditor said.
Jimo Qinghe and Zheng Xize both bowed and saluted.
"The king of this report has read it in advance, and the two of them have contributed to solving the crisis this time." The auditor stood up.
That is, Moqing and Qinglang stand in the main hall.
"This is the minister's duty, and there is no hard work."
Zheng Xize didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Zheng Changshi seems to have something to say?" Ji Xin looked at Zheng Xize.
Zheng Xize thought about it for a while, and finally clenched his fists.
"Yu Qiongyu's disaster has not made much achievements this time, and I am really ashamed."
"Oh?" I think it's a little funny. "This is the first time that this king has heard that people are unwilling to take credit."
"To solve this crisis, most of them relied on Qianze business travel to suddenly enter Qiongyu to release grain, and the minister just did some auxiliary affairs." Zheng Xize said.
Jimo Qinghe turned sideways at this moment.
"Zheng Changshi loves the people like a son, and this trip also makes the ministers very admired."
Zheng Xize frowned slightly and looked at Jimo Qinghe, what did he mean by saying this sentence that seemed to be a relief at this moment, and the atmosphere in the hall was strange for a while.
"Now that the danger of Qiongyu has come to an end, and Ding Hanjie is there to appease the displaced people, the two of them have been running around for many days, so let's retreat first." Ji Xin looked at the two people standing upright on the main hall, they were both proud of the sky but had completely different temperaments, and they didn't know ......
Jimo Qinghe just wanted to bow and leave, but Zheng Xize stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has some matters, and I hope to hand them over to the king for decision."
Ji Xian stared at Zheng Xize in some surprise, Zheng Xize didn't look at Jimo Qinghe with a sharp spirit, just bowed his head and waited for Ji Xian's response, Zuo Xiang was ready to retreat, but Zheng Xize, who was a subordinate official, still insisted on reporting the matter to the king, which was really a little rude.
"Then the king, the minister will retire first."
But Jimo Qinghe did not withdraw his hand, and said lightly.
"Then Qinghe will go first, Zheng Changshi, you come with this king." Ji Xin looked at Jimo Qinghe, who seemed to be unaware, and then looked at Zheng Xize, who was holding a salute and looked like I must say it today.
Jimo Qinghe saluted and turned around and walked out, his face was clear and windy, but the hand hidden in his sleeve was shaken fiercely.
"What's the matter with Zheng Qing?" Ji Xin took Zheng Xize to the inner hall.
Zheng Xize entered the inner hall for the first time, and the map of the five continents and eight countries on the wall was too conspicuous, and Zheng Xize was instantly attracted to his attention.
"This map of the five continents and eight countries is the most detailed one that the minister has seen."
Zheng Xize exclaimed.
The auditor stood aside and looked up.
"This map was arranged by this king six years ago for the shadow guards to be explored and drawn in many ways, and the manpower and material resources used are huge."
"Six years?" Zheng Xize thought in his heart, how old was the king at that time, did he have such a mind at a young age, this royal family is towering, and it is really more difficult to control than he imagined.
"Huh." The auditor turned around. "Zheng Qing just said that there is something important?"
"Yes." Zheng Xize came back to his senses. "The minister and the Zuo Xiang in the Qiongyu disaster relief, found that the Zuo Xiang seems to be too close to the Weiyun Chamber of Commerce, we went to Qiongyu on the first day, the Zuo Xiang and the Weiyun Chongzhou Branch Meng Jun Si met, and then there was a rich family in the city who seemed to be a rich family to give porridge and do good, but it was also a sudden departure, and then Qianze merchants began to pour into Qiongzhou in large numbers, these connections are too close, it really makes people feel a little strange."
"You're saying that Qinghe may have some unknown deals with Weiyun?" The salary has always been exquisite, and his words are to the point.
Zheng Xize bowed his head.
"The minister doesn't dare to speculate, but he has to guard against it."
The salary inspector is aware of Zheng Xize's sharpness and integrity, and even if he occasionally acts a little abruptly, he is mostly tolerant.
"That is, Mo Qinghe has not been smooth sailing all the way from just entering the official career to worshipping the left minister, and he also risked losing his life to turn the tide in the Rising Sun War." Ji Xin stared at Zheng Xize brightly. "The meaning of Xi Ze, this king already knows, this king trusts Qinghe, just as he trusts you now, and he believes in people, and the same is true with you."
Zheng Xize couldn't catch off against the clear and serious eyes of Shang Ji, and suddenly felt half an inexplicable panic in his heart.
"The king's act of trust is a shame to the ministers, and the ministers know it."
Zheng Xize stepped back and walked in salute.
"By the way, are you ready for the matter of Kyoto Lieutenant Chu Wenyang before?" Ji Xin asked.
Speaking of Chu Wenyang, Zheng Xize hooked his lips slightly.
"If you plan for a long time, you can't make mistakes."
"That's good, Haotian is stable, it lies in the hearts of the people, if the people are not even, this king will not be a king." Ji Xin patted Zheng Xize's arm.
"Yes." Zheng Xize's forehead said.
