After taking care of the grain matter, Chen Mu asked Lord Ye to send his subordinates to keep an eye on the movements of the small city in the north.

After learning that the county commander sent someone to light the grain, and quickly sent the grain to the small city in the south, Chen Mu was finally relieved.

At the same time, the ripe melons and fruits from the small towns in the south were also transported to the north.

Because last year, there was a quarrel because of melons and fruits.

Therefore, this year, when Chen Mu sent Lord Ye to order people to keep an eye on the melons and fruits in the southern town, he also made people pay careful attention to the price of those melons and fruits.

Finding that the price of those melons and fruits had not risen, and there was no fruit farmer who intended to increase the price of the fruit by hoarding the fruit, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

"This fruit is different, the fruit is stored for a limited time, unlike grain, if the grain is taken care of, it can be stored for a year or two, but this fruit will rot after less than half a month."

"We have a freezer truck, so we can store this fruit for a little longer."

The growers were eager to sell their fruit as soon as possible.

The fruit is then transported to the northern town by refrigerated truck, and sold for a much higher price than when they processed the fruit in previous years.

They are already very satisfied.

"You must know that in previous years, when Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not open a trade route and did not let people study the sale of cold storage trucks, those fruit farmers kept the fruits in their own hands, and they couldn't sell much."

"There is a lot of fruit that will rot in the ground, and now all the fruit can be sold, and they are rejoicing."

"I heard that the people of the small southern city have great admiration for you, Your Royal Highness, and you have helped them a lot by coming up with the idea of transporting fruits in a cold storage car."

Those people will have increased their income and will not go hungry because of floods and droughts.

Chen Mu was also quite satisfied after hearing about it.

After sending people to pay attention to the circulation of goods in various places, Chen Mu turned his attention to the affairs of the factory.

We are preparing to continue to promote and let people everywhere expand factories.

When the people who had been liberated by the promotion of agricultural equipment were thrown into the factories, another incident occurred.

Chen Mu has been sending people to keep an eye on the newly established government office for price supervision and crop quality supervision.

This incident is related to the price supervision office.

Chen Mu heard that the price of grain in a small town in the south was extremely high, but the officials who supervised the government sat idly by.

After careful investigation, they learned that the official who oversaw the government had dealings with the county guard of the small city.

And the county guard of that small town also had a good relationship with the local grain sellers, and the officials protected each other, and they concealed the fact that the price of grain was inflated.

If it weren't for the fact that some people left the small city and spread the news, Chen Mu's subordinates would not have been able to find out.

"What about the people from the Ministry of Commerce? The people who transported the grain were taken from the Ministry of Commerce, and they transported the grain to that city, and after the price of the grain was determined, they should have noticed that something was wrong, right? ”

"Why didn't anyone from the Ministry of Commerce tell me the news?"

Lord Ye shook his head silently.

He is also sending people to investigate these people.

Lord Ye was about to say something, when the two of them heard a rush of footsteps outside the main hall, Chen Mu turned his head to look, and found that a secret guard had stepped forward to report.

The dark guard was sent by Lord Ye, and Lord Ye glanced at the dark guard.

The dark guard immediately revealed the situation he had investigated.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, after our investigation, we found that only one official of the Ministry of Commerce who went to that small city came back, and two of them disappeared inexplicably, and we asked the official who came back about the situation."

"The officer said that the other two officials, when they were returning to the city with him, said that they had some personal matters to attend to, and left the caravan in a hurry."

"The private affairs that those two officials have to deal with seem to be related to the family behind them."

They left the caravan on their way through a small town that happened to have a side branch of the family behind the two officials.

Chen Mu understood, he felt that things were not so simple,

If there is really something important to take care of, they should send a message to the people of the Ministry of Commerce first, and only after obtaining permission can they leave the caravan.

It was strange to leave the caravan so rashly now.

Chen Mu did not suspect the official who reported the news, but asked people to go to the small town to investigate.

At the same time, it also attracted the families of those two officials, who were born in a family in the capital, but they were small families with limited power.

Only two of those two families became officials in the court, and the official position of the official was also a commercial official.

The people of the two families were taken aback when they heard that Chen Mu was going to summon them into the palace, and thought that they had made a mistake.

After entering the palace and listening to Chen Mu ask about the two officials who suddenly disappeared, the adults of the two families said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are also sending someone to investigate this matter."

When Chen Mu heard this, he was stunned.

What does this mean?

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the official standing in front of him, and when the official saw this, he did not delay and immediately told Chen Mu his guess.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, to tell you the truth, in the past few days, we have not been able to find out the whereabouts of our two clansmen, and they said that they would deal with the affairs of relatives in the city."

"But after we sent someone to the city to inquire about our relatives in the side branches, we found that they have not been in any trouble at all in the last few days."

Chen Mu immediately frowned, so the two of them suddenly left the caravan and went to the city, not to deal with private matters, but for something else?

What could it be?

The officials of the two families were afraid that Chen Mu would focus his suspicion on their family, so the two of them hurriedly said again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we have also sent someone to investigate carefully, and there is no problem within our family, and the other two are also honest and honest people."

"It's only been two or three years since you established the Ministry of Commerce, and those two people joined the Ministry of Commerce as officials last year, and they were also personally assessed by you."

The two officials were panicked, and Chen Mu naturally knew what they meant when he heard it.

Chen Mu sighed lightly and nodded silently, he still felt that this matter was not so simple.

Seeing Chen Mu frowning and thinking, the two of them looked at each other and said after hesitating for a moment.

"We are a small family, and we don't have much strength in the capital, and the reason why the family behind us is like this is because of a few of our officials in our clan."

"Our position is not high, and we are also despised by other families and adults in the court."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently asked people to go to the small town that sells grain to check, is there something wrong with that small town?"

"Does this have anything to do with the two of them?"

As soon as the people in this family mentioned it, Chen Mu immediately realized that the other party's words had some truth.

Chen Mu turned his head and glanced at Lord Ye, and when Lord Ye saw this, he immediately bowed down and retreated.

It seems that it is indeed necessary to find out whether the two missing persons are related to the illegal raising of food prices.
