Chapter 489: Soup kitchen

However, now it seems that this little accident seems to have increased Ren Yi's favor for him?

When Fan Xi was secretly happy, the subordinate suddenly came in from outside and said a few words in Fan Xi's ear.

When Fan Xi heard this, he hurriedly straightened his face and bowed his hand to Ren Yi: "Your Highness is benevolent!" I heard early in the morning that the stall that used to be a soup kitchen in the city was set up by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Fang Cai's subordinates reported that the soup kitchen stalls in the city had been set up again, and there was already a long queue. The lower official is here, and he thanked His Highness on behalf of the people of the city. ”

As he spoke, Fan Xi bowed and bowed.

Ren Yi helped him up: "The city lord doesn't have to be like this. I was already idle in Beijing, and when my mother and brother saw that I had nothing to do, they asked me to come out more often to see the people's livelihood and suffering, so that I could talk to them when I returned to Beijing. Soup soup is just some of our hearts, far from water can not quench the thirst of the near, the people really have to rely on you parents and officials. ”

Ren Yi said this cleverly, as if to imply that the soup porridge was what Qu Rushuang and Ren Fu meant, and he did not completely set himself aside.

Fan Xi understood what she meant: "The lower officials will do their best, worthy of the official uniform on their bodies, and worthy of the expectations of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

"The most important thing is to live up to the expectations of the people."

Ren Yi looked at him deeply.

Fan: "Yes, yes, yes." In this way, Xia Guan has already placed some simple food in the hall, all of which are made at home, I don't know if His Highness can appreciate it......"

"We'll talk about the meal later. I first visited the residence of the lord of Xia Fan, and then went to see the stall of soup kitchen. ”

"What Your Highness said is very true! We also need the people to eat well, so that we can eat with peace of mind, and your majesty and your highness will go together! ”

The matter of soup soup soon spread in Vena City.

"Quick, go home, take out all the bags, jars, pots and bowls at home! There is a soup kitchen in the city again! ”

"Is it the red tablecloth stall? Great, his porridge is the thickest, and one bowl is worth two bowls of other people. ”

"Isn't it? I heard that this stall has always been set up by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and it has been two or three years, what a good person. ”

"The Bodhisattva blesses the eldest princess with good health and all the best, such a good person must have a good reward."

Xia Qingyang and his entourage came out of the teahouse and walked towards the soup kitchen, the passers-by around were trotting with joy on their faces, and they could occasionally hear such conversations.

"It's so simple." Su Quan sighed with emotion, "That's it for some porridge, if I get them some vegetables and meat, I can't kneel down and thank me." ”

"Shengmien fights Mi Qiu, if you really take the meat out, be careful of being assassinated."

Xia Qingyang bent his eyes and made a harmless little joke.

Empress Yin was also amused: "In other words, after changing this robe, it seems that there are really not so many people looking back at you." ”

Yes, at this moment, Xia Qingyang really replaced her black.

Just by taking advantage of the private room of the teahouse, she changed into a navy blue cloth green shirt, with a fairy pattern brocade belt tied around her waist, revealing a quiet and elegant atmosphere, and it is more credible to go out and say that it is a doorman, and it is not so bluffing.

Xia Qingyang looked at the pedestrians who were holding bowls and basins in their arms and walking in a hurry: "No one else has time to look at me." Well, you see, that's it. ”

When Empress Yin heard this, she saw two long queues lined up in front of her, and at the end of the line was a porridge stall covered with red tablecloths.

The expressions of the people in the team were anxious and expectant.

Xia Qingyang specially put some footsteps to listen to what they were talking about-

"Why are there so many people, there weren't so many people in line last year. Can I still have porridge when this is timed to me? ”

"Hey, it's not good, there's no way. There are five people in my family to eat, and they are also tight, if they can't go out every day to dig some wild vegetables, I'm afraid I won't be able to live a long time ago. ”

"Our Luo Book City is pretty good. My youngest son came back from Jinchang City a while ago, saying that Jinchang City is now in famine, and people have gone to rob the army rations. ”

"What? Crazy, isn't that something that catches and wants to lose your head! ”

"I'm dying of hunger, and I can't care about that. If you want me to say, anyway, there is no war now, and it is better to distribute all the food to the people. ”

The situation is really not good.

Xia Qingyang frowned slightly and walked.

However, the year is not good......

Xia Qingyang: "Su Quan, Boss Ye, when you were collecting intelligence, did you hear about the harvests of other countries in recent years?" ”

"I haven't inquired about this." Su Quan was stunned, "But since I haven't heard of it, everything should be normal." ”

Empress Yin said lightly to Xia Qingyang: "Didn't you say that Tuochuan Kingdom bought a lot of grain from Dachun at a low price?" The lack of food may be partly due to this. ”

Xia Qingyang nodded slightly.

The matter of buying grain was told to her by Ren Yi.

The problem is that the purchase of grain by Togawa should have been a matter of nearly a year. It is also the grain reserves in the treasury that are purchased.

Although the tax revenue of Dachun has increased somewhat in the past two years, the people will not be famine to this extent.

"Summer ...... cough, Brother Qingyang thinks that the 'bad harvest' may be man-made? "Boss Ye is the most keenly aware of Xia Qingyang's meaning.

The merchant's sense of smell is very sensitive at this time.

Because the way of governing a country is sometimes the same as doing business. You can use bad moves to bring down your opponent.

Xia Qingyang: "I'm not sure, but if only the harvest of Dachun Country is not good, it is likely that there will be problems." ”

"I'll look it up." Su Quan said immediately.

Seeing this, Boss Ye felt that he was not lazy: "What about me." What's next? ”

Xia Qingyang: "I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

With that, several people came to the porridge stall.

"Here we are." He Minghua and Su Quan bumped fists as a greeting, and then said to Xia Qingyang, "Look at the number of people, Lao Xu and the amount of porridge they prepared is not enough, what should I do." ”

In addition to He Minghua, Ren Yi also sent four of the seven Dharma protectors to follow him to set up a stall.

At this time, one of them was boiling porridge.

Lao Xu and Lao Zhou were busy serving porridge to the people.

Another person greeted the people who were queuing and asked everyone to standardize the queue.

There is a clear shortage of manpower.

It seems that Ren Yi didn't expect that there would be so many people queuing up to receive porridge, so he asked Lao Xu and them to prepare as before.

"It's not that you rented the courtyard in advance, where is it."

Seeing this, Xia Qingyang turned his head and asked Su Quan such a question.

"Ah, it's not far from here, two in and two out." Su Quan thought that this was the courtyard where Xia Qingyang was going to live, so he introduced.

Xia Qingyang took off his gloves under the cover of his sleeves, took off a storage ring, and stuffed it into Su Quan's hand.

There was no need for Xia Qingyang to explain more, Su Quan immediately understood.

This storage ring is full of rice, flour, grain and oil, and in reality, if you take out all these grains, I am afraid that they can be piled up like a mountain.

And what Su Quan has to do is to take out a part of it and put it in the yard. And then deliberately it was seen that there was food in this yard.

In this way, when the food is "stolen", it can appear more real and credible.

Sure enough, not long after, when Su Quan trotted over from a distance with a grain cart, the people followed him, like some kind of treasure in their arms, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm.

"There's a lot of food! It's definitely enough to eat!! "It's still a long way off, and someone shouts at the queue here.
