"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Zhu Qizhen coughed all the way back to the Qianqing Palace.

"It's said to be disaster relief, but it's actually forcing the palace! You've read all the books to the belly of the dog? Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair, his chest rising and falling violently.

"Your Majesty, you drink ginseng soup smoothly, don't be angry." Jin Qi said as he handed over the soup bowl.

Zhu Qizhen took a sip and asked, "What about Xiong Zongli?" ”

Xiong Zongli was waiting for the order outside the door, and after carefully checking Zhu Qizhen's pulse, the imperial hospital envoy didn't say anything.

is still the same as what the imperial doctor said at the same time, it is overwork, and Zhu Qizhen should pay attention to rest, in addition, he should pay attention to his emotions, and he should not worry too much.

Zhu Qizhen was annoyed by Xiong Zongli's nagging, and when he heard this, he asked, "Is that going out for a walk?" ”

Xiong Zongli nodded as a matter of course.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so let's go to the grain store in the city to see if it's really as the household department said, the lack of food has reached this point, and it has reached the time when there is no way. Jin Qi, you go and call Yu Qian to come over. ”

With Zhu Qizhen's order, it didn't take long for Yu Qian, Guo Mao, Xiong Zongli, Jin Qi, plus Zhu Qizhen and Xiong Zongli's six-person team to gather and quietly change into civilian clothes and go outside the palace.

"Yu Qian, how did you come up with the idea of increasing business taxes today?" Walking on the road, Zhu Qizhen asked with some curiosity.

Yu Qian bowed and said: "Whether it is the commercial house of the household department or the master of ceremonies in the palace, they all pay taxes according to ten taxes, and the ministers guess that the emperor wants to promote commercial taxes, reduce agricultural taxes and rest for the people." ”

"Do you think it's feasible?" Zhu Qizhen asked rhetorically.

"It's hard to convince yourself of the things in the world, the emperor doesn't even hesitate to do the inner treasury, what can't be done?"

"Alas! You, the head of the cabinet, have to work harder, I don't want to appear again, I don't want to see the situation of the top as soon as possible, and I will let Cao Nai's side cooperate with you.

As a last resort, Jin Lian and the others are also old, and it is not too embarrassing to return to old age. "Zhu Qizhen is already extremely dissatisfied with Jin Lian and them.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, although Jin Lian and them are old-fashioned, they are also doing safe laws, and they are not selfish, but there are too many people trapped in today's affairs, so there is this joint force." Yu Qian hurriedly persuaded.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of the great man of later generations, who not only made the Chinese stand up, but also made the 600 million Chinese people at that time become selfless saints.

Even though the road ahead was full of thorns, even if there were enemies as high as mountains, they never retreated, but forced Huaxia to the world's card table and started a new chapter.

"It's good that the instructor is here." Zhu Qizhen muttered softly.

"What did you say, Your Majesty?" Yu Qian asked softly.

"The imperial meal is braised pork! The emperor himself ate it and said it was delicious! ”

Zhu Qizhen pointed to the braised meat stall and said with a smile: "I said that this stall is interesting, when have I been here, and I have eaten their meat, isn't this false propaganda?" ”

At this time, Guo Mao's face was a little unnatural, and he leaned into Zhu Qizhen's ear and said, "Your Majesty, you were drunk in the palace of the king of Yu before......

Zhu Qizhen also patted his head when he heard this: "I said that this taste is indeed a little familiar, it turns out that it is like this." ”

However, Zhu Qizhen did not mean to patronize again, but walked into the small grain store next to the braised meat stall.

At this time, there was no feeling of food shortage in the grain shop, and the people who came to buy it were also holding small cloth bags, which looked like they were only enough for ten days and a half months.

"Boss, how is the business? We also want to do this grain store business, I don't know if we can come to you to learn from you? ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and grabbed a handful of rice, sniffed it vigorously, and the rice was fragrant.

Seeing this, Dong Guo Sheng smiled, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Childe is polite, it's just that the small shop is a storefront that doesn't even have a trick, and only does a small business in the neighborhood."

Judging by your outfit, you should be a rich family, I'm afraid I won't learn anything useful here. ”

"I think the boss is real, and it must be right to learn to do business with you." Zhu Qizhen complimented.

Dongguo Shenghan scratched his head with a smile and said: "If you are not honest in grain trading, you can't do it, if you are short of two catties and two days, you will have to be driven out by the neighbors, how dare you have such a mind." ”

At this time, Dongguo Ziyu came out of the backyard carrying a rice bag, placed it next to Zhu Qizhen, and poured the bag that was about to be empty into the new rice.

"Is this your son?" Zhu Qizhen asked with a smile.

"That's right! Hey, Ziyu, hurry up and study, work hard, and strive to come back after taking the exam this year! Dong Guo Sheng agreed, and turned to face his son with a stern expression and said.

"Or a reading seed? The child is so sensible, my brother is really blessed. Zhu Qizhen followed and praised.

Dong Guo Ziyu smiled shyly and said to his father: "Dad, there is not much food in our warehouse, you have to find a time to buy it." ”

Dong Guo Sheng lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus, and said without raising his head: "The summer grain will come down soon, and when the time comes, we will collect more new grain, so that the neighbors can eat a fresh one." ”

Just when Zhu Qizhen was about to leave, a rich man wearing a silk luo suddenly appeared in front of the stall of Dongguo Sheng's house.

"Brother Dongguo!" The man screamed.

"What's the point of talking about the shopkeeper?" Dong Guo Sheng looked a little surprised, as if he was not familiar with the person who came.

The wary eyes of the shopkeeper are in Zhu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Qi Zhen swept over a few people, and then pulled Dong Guo Sheng and began to mumble in a low voice.

Guo Mao took Zhu Qizhen's hint, looked at the food in the store quietly, and slowly turned to the vicinity of the two.

"Boss, is there any rice from Liaodong? Liaodong rice is sweet, and the children at home don't eat it. Guo Mao said, grabbed a handful of white and asked and smelled.

Dong Guo Sheng, who was being whispered by the shopkeeper, raised his head and replied: "What the guest officer is holding in his hand, you can see it first." What's going on? Don't lie to me, man! ”

The shopkeeper was full of anxiety, and kept talking to Dong Guo Sheng in his voice, and Dong Guo Sheng, who was listening, nodded again and again.

When he finally left, the shopkeeper did not forget to turn around and say: "Remember, don't dare to forget!" ”

"Don't worry, you, it's a matter of your life, you won't dare to forget!" Dong Guo Sheng nodded solemnly.

Zhu Qizhen saw Guo Mao nodding, so he said goodbye to Dong Guo Sheng, and the group returned to the street.

"Your Majesty, that person just now is a well-known businessman in the grain industry, and he came here today to remind Dong Guosheng that grain production in various places has been reduced, and the purchase price is about to rise, so he is persuaded to collect grain as soon as possible, so as to make a lot of money on the difference." Guo Mao relayed what he heard, Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen not only glanced back at the grain shop that didn't even have a signboard, but asked, "What did Dong Guosheng say?" ”

Dong Guosheng said that even so, it should be the price increase after the purchase price rises, how to make more money in advance with this conscience.

It's just that the last surname said: 'We are all old and young, and you don't have a shop rent, but you can't stand the large number of outsiders in the city.'

When the time comes, everyone will raise the price, but if you don't go up, you won't be a peer enemy, so why bother? ’

Dong Guo Sheng was shaken at this time, and said to go and take a look, if the price really rises, it will go with the market, and the big deal is to lower it in the future. ”

"Profiteers!" Zhu Qizhen scolded, and then his arm was grabbed, and when he saw that it was Xiong Zongli, his originally bloodshot head turned to smile helplessly.

"I know, control your emotions! Rest assured! ”

Zhu Qizhen said and looked at Guo Mao, "During this period of time, we have strictly investigated and raised prices and hoarded Juqi, so that Jinyi and Wei everywhere have moved, and if the food rises sharply in any place, that place will be punished."

Jin Qi, after returning to the palace, I went to Jin Ying and said, let the people in the mining department move, now all private mines do not collect cash, only grain, do you want to do whatever it takes, do you understand? ”

Despite this, the output of new grain has been reduced on a large scale, and the news that grain stocks have been trafficked to foreign feudal domains through the nine sides has spread far and wide.

For a while, the whole capital was discussing the food shortage, and all the grain stores were wiped out.

Although the imperial court strictly ordered that the price should not be raised, the result was that the poor people could not buy even a grain of grain, and the price of grain in the black market had risen more than three times.
