Hearing Liu Ying's words, the worried look on Xiao He's face did not go away because of this, but it was visible to the naked eye.

"Family, really didn't understand?"

Secretly scolded himself, and was about to speak again, but saw Liu Ying smiling and waving his hand.

"Xiao Xiang, the old minister of the Zhu Kingdom."

"There is no need to talk about such simple things."

"But before, Gu Zeng sent Cheng Hou to investigate, and he got the Changling Tian clan, and it seems that there are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in stock?"

As she spoke, Liu Ying didn't forget to make a meaningful smile and narrowed the corners of her eyes slightly.

"According to Xiao Xiang's opinion, what is the most appropriate use for this rice grain of hundreds of thousands of stones?"

Seeing that Liu Ying diverted the topic, Xiao He did not respond to Liu Ying's words, but took a deep breath with a cloudy face, and immediately lowered his head slightly, falling into thought.

Xiao He would never believe that Liu Ying would not understand the deep meaning of his words!

What Xiao He wanted to tell Liu Ying was definitely not Lu Pheasant avenging his son, how much impact did it have on the laws of the Han family!

What really frightened Xiao He was the powerful mobilization ability of a queen who theoretically did not have any political rights in this incident!

How long has it been since Liu Ying was assassinated in Changling yesterday until now?

Less than twelve hours!

In less than a day and a night, what changes have taken place in Chang'an City?

- Chang'an curfew!

- The armies of the South and the North poured out!

- Arsenal, Taimiao, and Changle and Weiyang palaces are under martial law!

——The 'culprit' Changlingtian clan is full of doors, and he has been sent to the court, and he is about to be killed!

Under such strict precautions, even when Xiao He entered the palace, he was almost checked by an eyeless Qiu Ba!

It is true that the assassination of the crown prince in Changling, which is only twenty miles away from Chang'an, is such a big matter, even if it is at such a level of defense now, it is by no means excessive.

But the crux of the matter is: in this series of terrifying transfers, and every one and every one is very likely to affect the fate of the Han family, Xiao He, as the prime minister, has hardly issued a single decree!

Xiao He didn't even get a nod of approval, or even the opportunity to know about these transfers!

What do you mean?

- The queen Lu Pheasant, who theoretically has no power, completed this series of transfers extremely quickly in a very short period of time under the nose of Xiao He, who theoretically holds all the rights of the court!

What scared Xiao He even more was that if he didn't think about it carefully, even Xiao He himself didn't think there was anything wrong with this······

Just like the queen of the Han family, she should naturally have the power to mobilize the southern and northern armies, and have the power to impose martial law on the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang, as well as the Taimiao and arsenal······

"······ at home"

"Alas······"

"That's it······"

"Later, let's wait for the opportunity to advise······"

Seeing Liu Ying lying sideways on the soft couch, her lips faintly glowing a little sickly, and the corners of her forehead were slightly covered with a little sweat, Xiao He only shook his head and sighed secretly, and put down his original plan for the time being.

Because Xiao He thought that Liu Ying's mentality at this time may be the same as his past self.

- Just like in the past, Xiao He was unwilling to accept Han Xin's rebellion, and Liu Ying at this time should also be unwilling to accept his mother, which has actually become a big disaster for the Han family······

"Yesterday, the minister only cared about raiding the Tian family's house, and it was true that the Tian family was outside Changling, and there were nearly 20 villages and warehouses obtained."

"On the night shift, when the Oshida clan returned from Changling, the minister had already sent the internal history of the government to seize nearly 20 villages and warehouses."

"And how much grain it has in stock, but the minister does not know it."

Suppressing the worries in his heart, Xiao He finally followed Liu Ying's topic and talked about the real 'crime' of the Changling Tian clan.

Although yesterday, Lu Pheasant and Xiao He didn't say it explicitly, and Liu Ying never mentioned it, everyone knew in their hearts: Changling Tian's family, a mere businessman, even if he had the motive to assassinate Liu Ying, he definitely didn't have that guts!

The most important thing is that as the most shameless group in this era, the merchant group still has a general irrefutable advantage.

- Smart enough.

Only people who are smart in the arch of the foot, or even extremely smart, can make a fortune by relying on the skills of businessmen in this era of backwardness, scarcity, and not yet completely extricating themselves from the troubled times of war.

In the face of the hostility and denigration of the entire universal value to itself today, and even in the past thousands of years, the merchant class has long evolved the instinct of 'seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages'.

Profit-seeking, buying low and selling high, seeking profits.

And to avoid harm is to provoke people who should not be provoked, and they must not be provoked······

In this way, the problem is much simpler.

- Today, how many people are more difficult to mess with than the crown prince Liu Ying?

It is full of calculations, and it will never exceed the number of five fingers.

Therefore, not to mention Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying's mother and son, and Xiao He, who is the founding prime minister, the entire Chang'an court, and even some ordinary people with bright brains, can also understand: For the Changling Tian clan, the assassination of the prince is just a black cauldron from the sky.

As for this black cauldron, why did it hit the head of the Changling Tian clan impartially······

"Look at home."

Seeing Xiao He talking, he took out the bamboo slip that he had shown to Lu Pheasant yesterday from his arms and handed it to Chuntuo beside him.

"In the Changling Tian family's house, there are more than 170 bamboo slips like this, and what is said above is that the Tian family colluded with grain merchants from all over Guanzhong, hoarded grain and rice and raised prices."

"This time, the price of grain in Guanzhong has risen abnormally, in addition to the Changling Tian clan, there are dozens of grain merchants with more than 10 million yuan, more than 1 million, and hundreds of ······."

Speaking of this, Xiao He's expression on his face was also a little grim.

"The minister thinks that if we don't use thunder to suppress it, I am afraid that the death of the Tian clan will still not be able to calm the boiling of grain prices in Guanzhong."

"Yesterday, the minister invited the queen to take this as a result, and the queen said to the minister: In the matter of grain prices in Guanzhong, there are already countermeasures at home."

"Therefore, today, the minister is worried that his family is injured, but he still has to enter the palace and show his family to go down."

"——Guanzhong's grain prices are boiling, minister, what should be the outline?"

After speaking, he saw Xiao He solemnly arching his hand, and his face was already full of grimness.

Hearing Xiao He's words, Liu Ying feigned a thought, but secretly, she shook her head with some disappointment at Xiao He.

If others saw this time, Xiao He's posture of solemnly saluting Liu Ying, the first reaction would definitely be: polite! Definitely polite!

If it weren't for Liu Ying lying on the couch due to injury, just 'being worshiped by Xiao Cheng and calm', Liu Ying would have lost a lot of impression points in the hearts of the courtiers and officials.

But at this moment, looking at Xiao He's solemn face, Liu Ying knew very well in her heart: Xiao He's posture was really not polite.

"In the past few months, Xiao Xiang was busy with the food and grass needed by his father's army, and the affairs in Guanzhong were a little neglected······"

Xiao He was reminded with a slight smile in his tone, and then saw Liu Ying move his body slightly, adjust to a more comfortable posture, and immediately let out a long sigh.

"Xiao Xiang or I don't know."

"——The difference in grain prices in Guanzhong, even in the autumn and September of last year, when the Mid-Autumn Festival harvest in Guanzhong was completed, has been revealed."

"In the first ten months of the year, the Changling Tian clan suddenly raised the price of Chang'an rice, and then followed suit in the order of Guanzhong, so that today, Chang'an rice grain is 3,900 yuan per stone!"

"The Changling Tian clan has been planning alone for a long time······"

As she spoke, Liu Ying couldn't help but raise her head towards her wound again, and immediately laughed at herself.

"This is to Changling, Lone is because he wants to govern the Tian family, and he is afraid of Tian He Tianzizhuang, so he will go to meet him."

"Unexpectedly, before returning halfway, such an accident happened, but it also saved the loneliness and exhaustion, and the guilt of the Luo Tian clan ······"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Xiao He's face almost had a strong sense of self-blame.

You can't blame Liu Ying for being 'strict', but Xiao He himself also understands in his heart: how much experience he had in the past winter was not put on the matter of raising food and grass for Liu Bang's army······

As for what Liu Ying said, 'I happened to be assassinated, and I just happened to save the Tian family from fabricating charges', Xiao Hezi also understood.

-- Stockpiling grain and raising prices is a good thing to hurt nature and reason and shake the society.

But the crux of the matter is that the "Han Law" has dozens of millions of words and tens of thousands of criminal liabilities, none of which has provisions on 'strict price hikes'.

In the words of later generations: the Changling Tian clan hoarded goods and raised grain prices, which is not morally worth advocating, but it is not illegal.

Of course, there is no solution to this kind of 'you didn't commit a crime, but it makes people very unhappy'.

Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, raised the corners of his eyebrows, pointed in the direction of Changling and shouted: I see that he is unhappy, so he will slaughter me, and it will be fine.

After all, he is the Son of Heaven, and he is also the founder of the country, with the constitution of heaven in his mouth, and he follows the law, but he is not joking.

But Liu Ying, after all, is not Liu Bang~

As the crown prince, even if he is the prince of the prison country, if Liu Ying wants to kill the Changling Tian clan with the background of the 'Late Six Kings Family', he must obediently hold a copy of "Han Law", pull out a crime that is enough to kill the head, or even kill the whole family, and then press it on the head of the Tian family.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is clear that there is no more suitable charge for the Nagaruka clan than 'assassinating the prince with the intention of subverting Sheji'.

"Hmmm······"

Xiao He was thinking about it, and when he saw Liu Ying groaning slightly, he raised his head meaningfully.

"The grain stored by the Changling Tian clan has been checked by the Hou Hou, and it is more than 700,000 stones."

"This grain is 700,000 stones, and when the Shaofu is allocated 100,000 stones, another 200,000 stones are left, and they are sold at a fair price in the East Market."

"More than 400,000 stone ······"

Saying that, Liu Ying couldn't help but deliberately drag Chang'an, looking at Xiao He with a little deep meaning, only a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't continue.

Seeing Liu Ying's face, Xiao He only thought about it for a moment, and then he also understood.

shook his head with a bitter smile on his face, and saw Xiao He admit defeat to Liu Ying.

"At home, speaking bluntly is ······"

"But if it is not a large-scale construction project, a waste of money and food, or something that is contrary to the country's foundation and society, the minister should not ······ it."
