"Your Royal Highness the Prince, people have been arrested, what should we do with this food? Is it to put this grain into the treasury, or ......"

"Buy these grains, and those people will be punished if they are locked up in your palace."

"There is no need to put this grain into the treasury again, if the grain is taken away, then their families will be emptied, and most of them will be destitute."

In order to buy food, those people took out all their own silver, just to fight in the coming year, the county magistrate heard Chen Mu say this, and immediately nodded and responded.

He felt a little emotional, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really a good person, and those merchants were also worried, they thought that Chen Mu would directly charge the grain into the treasury.

They were extremely remorseful, they didn't expect that their plans would be discovered by Chen Mu.

After they were imprisoned in the dungeon, they accused each other, suspecting that their companions had leaked the news.

It wasn't until Chen Mu personally came to the dungeon and interrogated them that those people looked for Chen Mu.

"How did you know that we received the grain in the hope that we would exchange it for more money in the future?"

"We thought our purpose was undetectable to anyone."

This kind of method of manipulating prices, which is not a businessman, will not be noticed.

In addition, they did not collect much grain, and only the grain they collected was the grain of their small cities.

Although they have collected so much grain, it will affect prices, but they will not let prices rise too quickly.

They thought that the local magistrate would not notice it, and no one would do anything to them.

When Chen Mu heard this, he chuckled, he shook his head, and said quietly.

"You still underestimate the overseers in the capital, they have long been aware of your movements."

"When it is released in the future, I also hope that you will not make up your mind again, intending to use the method of hoarding goods to manipulate and influence prices."

The eyes of several people sank slightly, they looked at each other, and one of them sneered and spoke.

"The overseer of the capital? We don't believe that the overseer will notice what we're doing. ”

"We, the county magistrates of this city, didn't realize that there was something wrong with our actions, so how could those officials in the capital notice that something was wrong?"

"It must have been one of us who told you about our intention to rely on grain hoarding to affect prices, and you told me who leaked the news was, and I would never let him go."

has been imprisoned in a dungeon, and is still so arrogant.

Chen Mu was stunned, he looked up at the man, and the man met Chen Mu's gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.

Although he knew that Chen Mu was from an extraordinary background and was very likely to be from the government, he couldn't guess that Chen Mu was the crown prince of the dynasty.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of footsteps behind Chen Mu, and several people took a look and found that the county order also came to the dungeon with Chen Mu.

The county commander stood outside the dungeon, Chen Mu turned his head, glanced in the direction of the county order, and then shook his head quietly.

signaled that the county order did not need to worry, and when the county order saw this, he also bowed, but he didn't say much.

Chen Mu retracted his thoughts, looked at the few people standing in front of him, and continued to speak.

"No one told me about your plans, and you don't have to blame each other and misunderstand each other."

"I can tell you frankly that I said that you collected that grain in your own hands in order to use it to manipulate prices, but it was just my guess."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of Chen Mu, who met everyone's eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

"I was just planning ahead, but later, the evidence found in your house by the county magistrate proved that my guess was correct."

There was evidence in front of him, Chen Mu also explained the facts, several people were speechless, Chen Mu interrogated again, and confirmed the details of their plan.

Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, turned around and left with the county order.

The county order threw himself to the ground with Chen Mu's admiration, he didn't expect it at all, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could see the plans of these people with his guesses.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives far away in the capital, and these people are in a small city in the north, and even he is not aware of these people's movements and intentions.

Those people were also uneasy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not blame him for not being aware of these people's intentions.

The county commander bowed to Chen Mu in fear, Chen Mu noticed the county order's movements, and shook his head quietly.

Of course, he knew the thoughts of the county order, and he only reminded the county order and the big families in the city to pay more attention to it these days.

If someone maliciously hoards grain, the news must be sent to the capital as soon as possible.

The county magistrate was also stunned when he heard this, but fortunately, the only people who wanted to control the price of grain through this method were those who sold rice and grain.

After the matter was settled, Chen Mu took the car back to the capital.

Before going to the capital, he asked the county commander to join forces with the county commanders of several other cities to count the grain.

After a few people returned to the city, he would let the car come to the small town in the north to transport grain, and then send it to the small town in the south where the harvest was not good.

When the county magistrate heard about this, he naturally did not dare to delay it, and immediately started to do it.

Chen Mu returned to the capital three or four days later, and as soon as he stepped into the main hall of the study, he heard footsteps behind him.

Chen Mu turned his head to look, and saw Meng Qing running in front of him with a resentful face, looking up in his direction.

Due to the urgency of dealing with food, Chen Mu did not know that it would be sunny before leaving the capital.

Seeing Meng Qing like this now, Chen Mu sighed faintly, and had already guessed what the other party was going to say.

The truth was not beyond his expectations, he looked at Meng Qing and said with a resentful expression.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you didn't take me with you when you went out of Beijing this time, leaving me alone in the capital, do you know how much I envy you for being able to go to that small northern city?"

"I heard that the weather in the northern town has been cool in the past few days, and it is so hot in the capital now, you should take me around."

When Meng Qing said this, her eyes were slightly red, and she was about to cry because she was wronged.

Chen Mu was taken aback, he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Meng Qing, he shook his head helplessly, and spoke

"Say I'm not good, I should indeed take you to the capital for a walk, don't be sad."

"When I take care of the affairs of the capital and have nothing important to deal with, I will take you out of Beijing and go to other cities, how is the child these days?"

As soon as Chen Mu promised, Meng Qing immediately smiled, he knew that Chen Mu was a person who did what he said.

"The children are naturally fine, I have taken good care of them these days, and they have become closer and closer to me."

Although Meng Qing is the biological mother of the child, the palace has its own nurse and palace people who take care of the child, and those children were left by Meng Qing's side at the beginning when they were born.

But when the child is a little older, it will be taken care of by the palace people, Chen Mu sighed, in this ancient time, this is very convenient,

There will be others to help take care of the child, and the child will not be lost.
