177.Chapter 177: The Dark Tide is Surging
After a while, one of the people who looked like the leader stood up and bowed to Pei Yuanhao and said, "Your Highness, this disaster victim doesn't have enough food to eat when they enter the city, every year, even if we stretch our hands into the field, we won't be able to dig up so much rice." ”
"yes!"
"We're not having a good time!"
"Besides," said the man, "in business, our grain is not washed by floods, but bought with white money, and we are waiting for the money to be fed and clothed." ”
The people below echoed one after another, Pei Yuanhao just looked at him and didn't speak, and the man said boldly again: "But since His Royal Highness has opened his mouth to raise food, we should also do something for the imperial court......"
When I heard this, I was overjoyed, as long as these merchants were willing to help, the affairs of the victims would not be a problem.
“…… This time to raise food, I crowned the ascension and traveled a thousand stone rice! ”
When I heard this, my heart suddenly sank, a thousand stone meters, which is not even enough for the porridge factory outside for a day!
When the people below heard this, some of them even secretly covered their mouths and laughed, and immediately someone said: "Since this is the case, we will also give a thousand stones!" ”
"Our Gao Shengxing shop is small, but we can't catch up with Boss Liu, so let's give 800 stones!"
"I'll give six hundred ......"
The voices rang in the ears one after another, and these people said that it was a drop in the bucket, but it was just a drop in the bucket, I remember that someone once said that the rice and grain merchants in Yangzhou were the kings of the Fubi domain, and there were foul words on the underworld that these people were all about the crotch of their pants when they fart, but now they are helping the victims, but they are only taking out some ballast things.
I gritted my teeth angrily and whispered, "These people are really not afraid of death!" ”
Hearing this, Yang Yunhui, who had been standing beside me, had a strange face, and said in a strange tone: "What else do you do if you are afraid of death?" ”
I just remembered that his father Yang Wanyun was an imperial businessman, and he was in business, so he was afraid that he would not be generous when he encountered this situation.
It seems that it is really not easy to raise food, I sighed, turned around and left.
But just after taking two steps, I heard Yang Yunhui say behind him: "Don't you help the third brother think of a way?" ”
"......" I stopped and looked back at him.
"It's tens of thousands of lives," he said with a smile, "Miss Yue, you are a kind-hearted person, even the assassins can't bear to hurt them, not to mention those disaster victims, thousands of miles of starvation and floating corpses all over the field, it's not what you want to see." ”
I looked at him, didn't say anything, and turned back.
Pei Yuanhao didn't go back to the inner courtyard on this day, it was very quiet outside, and he could even hear the sound of falling snow.
It wasn't until late in the night, when the house slowly became dark, that I, guarding a candle flame, heard a footstep creaking on the snow, slowly walking from a distance.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Even though it was so late, I could still see the almost irrepressible evil aura in his eyes for the first time, but those evil qi seemed to dissipate a lot the moment I entered the house.
Maybe it's because the incense has already been lit in the room, maybe it's because the refreshments on the table exude a faint heat, Pei Yuanhao was also stunned for a moment when he looked at it, and then looked at me, I stepped forward to take the robe he took off, and dusted off the snow: "Your Highness, you must not have eaten much today, let's eat some refreshments first." ”
He looked at me again and slowly walked over to the table and sat down, and I hung up my clothes and walked over and handed him the hot tea.
Just as he was reaching out to take the tea, he suddenly said, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”
