This night, the whole capital was even crazier than the day, and countless people at the bottom of the city emptied all the remaining family funds and rushed to one big grain store to buy grain that was about to increase in price.

People are very strange, when things fall, no one touches them for fear of losing money. But once it is said that the price will rise, no matter how much money you spend, you will make money.

This night, the capital's provenance will be brightly lit, and there will be long queues with people, even more than the days when there is a shortage of food, and most of them are ordinary people wearing coarse cloth clothes, and only at this price, they have the capital to hoard.

In the capital this night, these grain shops are like white characters on a chessboard, setting up a chess game that can be famous for eternity.

It's just that the "chess piece" in the center is much larger than the rest, and that is the location of the Forbidden City.

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Qizhen still didn't let the hundred officials go home, of course, he also sent someone to inform him in advance, but those officials and relatives never imagined that it was their master, and they haven't eaten a bite of food until now.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair, and there was a faint rumbling sound from the official's stomach in his ears, he smiled and looked for the past, and everywhere he passed, the officials buried their heads lower.

"What? Are you all hungry? To be honest, I'm hungry too! ”

Zhu Qizhen touched his belly and sighed softly, "Like all the ministers, I also have a belly growling.

However, I want to take this opportunity to let everyone feel the suffering of the people, if that Aiqing can't hold on, you can say it directly, this matter will not be difficult. ”

Looking around, none of the officials spoke out, and no one even dared to make a move, for fear that the emperor would misunderstand that he had this thought.

Zhu Qizhen smiled and then said, "Since this is the case, then I have the right and you don't need it."

However, as long as the people have a mouthful of surplus food, they will not starve the elderly at home.

Jin Ying ordered to go down and prepare a bowl of sugar water for each of the old ministers over sixty years old.

The ministers left behind by the first emperor must not starve for anything, otherwise when I go down to see his old man one day, I may not know how to scold me. ”

As soon as he said this, all the courtiers fell to their knees and shouted, "The courtiers are guilty!" ”

"What is this for? Hurry up, hurry up. No, let's sit down, don't be hungry and pass out again. ”

Although there was Zhu Qizhen's verbal message, no one moved, as if he was declaring his firm position.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care, and waved his hand to let Jin Ying go.

Cao Nai's head, his eyelids rolled up, as if he wanted to look up at Zhu Qizhen's appearance.

"Ten thousand bells! What's wrong? Not feeling well? Seeing this, Zhang Yi on the side thought that Cao Nai was unwell.

"Shiqian, why don't we sit down? After all, it's not a hairy young man, and after kneeling for a while, my knees are really a little unbearable. "Cao Nai

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

He said with a sigh.

Zhang Yi didn't answer, he glanced secretly, and as far as he could see, none of the courtiers got up or sat on the ground, and they all knelt on the ground.

"Ten thousand bells! At this time, the action is a taboo for everyone! Zhang Yi rejected the offer.

After all, even Yu Qian ...... Yu Qian sat on the ground?

Cao Nai obviously also found out about this, no longer hesitated, sat on the ground, and deliberately found a comfortable position, so that the emperor could find out.

There are a few officials in the six departments, naturally all of them are under Zhu Qizhen's nose, coupled with Cao Nai's intentional behavior, Zhu Qizhen naturally saw it and secretly praised it.

Now those who are obedient are good comrades, and those who are disobedient can only be said to be official, after all, they like this the most.

Time passed minute by minute, Zhu Qizhen disappeared and sat on the dragon chair, needless to say that his back hurt all night.

The hundred officials, who were originally unable to kneel, lost their strong energy, and sat on the ground one by one, massaging the joints of their bodies with both hands, as if they had hurt their bodies due to the cold of the night.

In summer, it's normal to be a little cold at night, after all, it's only June, and it's not hot enough to wear clothes.

The officials in the palace were shivering, and everyone outside the palace was sweating.

Especially Guan De and other bosses who were in the center of the vortex, after this night of fire, they were sweating all over.

"How's it going?" Guan De looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, there was no trace of a large amount of grain in the store, but the white rice scattered on the ground was spread in two thick layers, and it was soft and soft when stepped on.

Shopkeeper Zhang wiped the sweat on his head, pointed to the scattered people outside and said: "It has basically been sold out, and only a little bottom warehouse is left, which is reserved for normal business in the future." ”

Guan De finally let out a sigh of relief, looked at the other bosses, and the people who looked at him nodded their heads.

Come to think of it, the Guan De family occupies three of them, but it is not the largest one among them, so it is logical that it is the last one to be sold out.

"Good! It's finally over, so let's count the losses. Guan De sighed, and everyone took out the account book and gently fiddled with the abacus in front of them.

At least I have to get up at about 3 a.m. to buy groceries and prepare, and I have to work until 4 or 5 o'clock when the business officially starts.

Daming will naturally not be an exception, but the early at this time is far less abundant than that of later generations, except for rice, millet, noodle soup, soy milk, although it is also a wide variety, but after all, the practices are similar, nothing new.

Zhu Qiyu drank a mouthful of millet porridge, was so hot that he almost spit it out, and brewed in his mouth for a long time before he dared to swallow it.

"Guo Mao, are you sure it's okay in the palace? Don't have a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry to give birth to any unsubordinate thoughts. Zhu Qiyu exhaled lightly and glanced at the silent man.

Guo Mao replied respectfully

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

Said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there are Liu Yongcheng's imperial horse supervisors in the palace, as well as Fan Zhong's palace guards, plus the 80,000 new troops brought by Lord Yu."

Don't say that it is these courtiers, even if Warat comes again, there will only be a fiasco, please rest assured! ”

"Yu Qian is indeed too cautious!" Zhu Qiyu sighed.

Guo Mao didn't speak, Yu Qian transferred the new army to the capital at the opportunity of disaster relief, not only Zhu Qiyu didn't expect it, even the emperor didn't expect it.

It's just that after all, it was a dereliction of duty, and I was still a little apprehensive when I thought about it, if I was angry with the emperor because of this, I am afraid that my identity as a commander would not be able to be kept.

"Alas!" Guo Mao's face was worried.

Zhu Qiyu thought that the merchant's granary had not been found, and when he saw this situation, he quickly asked: "What's wrong?" Could it be that the things arranged by the royal brother have not been done yet? ”

Guo Mao shook his head, looked at the crackling Guangde Commercial Bank, and said, "Their warehouse, as well as all the houses in the capital, have been controlled by me. Lord, when will you do it? ”

Zhu Qiyu blew the hot air on the bowl, regardless of the temperature of the porridge soup, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Let's go, don't let the royal brother wait any longer." Zhu Qiyu wiped his mouth, got up and walked towards Guangde Shang.

The guys at the door naturally knew Zhu Qiyu, where did he command the enemies all day, so that the Guangde Commercial Bank, which should have made a windfall, was busy all night, and they also worked all night, how could they not have a little resentment in their hearts?

"This guest officer, this number has been closed, please come back another day!" The guy didn't wait for Zhu Qiyu to get closer, and then refused to be thousands of miles away.

"What? Isn't there still people in line? They can buy it, how can I not buy it? ”

……

Not to mention the conversation between Zhu Qiyu and the guys outside the door, the shopkeepers inside the door all calculated the detailed accounts.

In fact, the account on this day is not troublesome, after all, there are only a small number of individual prices such as fifty wen and twenty wen, and the rest are one penny.

To put it mildly, you don't need to make the ninety-nine multiplication table to figure it out, and then count the money spent, and you will know how much you have lost.

As soon as the amount came out, everyone's faces were not good-looking, and they were all the same as their dead fathers, which could be regarded as filial piety to their families in advance.

"Old cadre, how many are you?" Fan An hooked his head to look at Gan Hong, and was slapped away by the other party.

", I'm annoying!" Gan Hong said impatiently.

"If you don't look at it, you don't watch it! The master didn't hesitate to look at it. Fan An snorted and turned to look at Xiang Yu Xia first, but he didn't dare to speak because of a look.

"At the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, don't expose each other's scars, and earn it back later!" Guan De said and put his eyes outside the door, and happened to see Zhu Qiyu debating with his buddy.
