The words are divided into two ends, when Liu Yixian and other officials and nobles went to Xishan, Tianqi here was worried because of the factory guard's report on the soaring price of carbon, and specially asked Wei Zhongxian: "Has the price of charcoal dropped now?" ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Emperor Qi, it has risen a little." ”

After hearing this, Tianqi twisted his brows: "If it goes up again, how can the people stand it?" Some powerful people are also really greedy, so that the price of carbon has been high, you East Factory should check carefully, which powerful people are secretly pushing up the price of carbon! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Han Yi, who was also in front of the emperor, said: "Your Majesty don't worry, as far as the minister knows, Uncle Guo has arranged for the dog to open many stores in the city, called a comprehensive store, which specializes in selling cheap coal, but the purchase is limited, and each household can only buy a certain amount of coal every day." ”

Tianqi was quite surprised, and looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Wei Zhongxian sneered: "The slave maid is busy interrogating profiteers suspected of making inferior fat jackets for the border army these days, and they don't know about it for a while. Please rest assured, the slave will let the people from the East Factory go to verify. ”

"Not necessarily! I went to the palace to see in person, and by the way, I also saw how much the people's lives were affected by this high charcoal price. ”

As he spoke, Tianqi looked at Han Yi again: "Han Qing's family, let's go together." ”

"Yes!"

Han Yi agreed.

Because the comprehensive store has the benefits of his Han family, Han Yi, who has always been silent, said a little more just now.

When I came to the outside of the palace, on the bustling street, Tianqi saw many poor people cowering on the snow in the corner of the wall, their skin was frozen purple, and they couldn't help sighing: "It's really the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”

Saying that, Tianqi asked Han Yi: "Han Qingjia, is what you said true, Zhang Gui is really selling cheap coal to help the people?" ”

Han Yi replied: "How dare the minister bully the king. ”

At this moment, Apocalypse found a long queue outside a store in front of him, and the name of this store was "Comprehensive Store".

Apocalypse also walked over and asked a common person: "What are you queuing up here on such a cold day?" ”

The common man replied: "Buy coal!" It's cheap and fair, the same price as last year, but you can't buy more, so you have to buy it every day. And it can't be replaced by someone else, just take the coal with the household ticket and the guarantee. Therefore, no matter how cold it is, I have to come in person, otherwise my wife and children will not freeze to death? There is no firewood pit in the house for a long time! ”

"Hasn't the price of charcoal skyrocketed recently, why are they willing to sell it at a low price?"

Apocalypse asked again.

The common man replied: "It is said that the emperor has subsidized their store, so they can buy it so cheaply." It can be seen that the emperor is still a good emperor. ”

Tianqi nodded, knowing that Zhang Guibian's reason was to do good deeds for himself, and the people's hearts let themselves, the emperor, accept it.

Then, Apocalypse asked, "How many more stores like this are there?" ”

"There are two in one workshop."

The common man replied.

After hearing this, Apocalypse didn't say a word, and walked out in silence.

"Wei Zhongxian!"

Apocalypse suddenly called.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stepped forward: "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Why doesn't the inner court know to do this?!"

"Take the silver to buy coal, and then sell it to the people at a fair price, so that the people can survive the crisis? Zhang Gui can think of it, why can't you, the chief eunuch of ceremonies, think of this, are you willing to watch my Jingshi and the common people being frozen to death?! ”

"Han Qing, and your cabinet outside the court, why didn't you think of it?!"

Apocalypse asked reproachfully.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly prostrated on the ground: "The emperor is angry, the uncle is kind-hearted, the slave and maid are indeed inferior to him, and the slave and maid must learn from the uncle and the uncle." ”

Han Yi also pleaded guilty and said something similar to Wei Zhongxian.

"Get up."

Tianqi has never been too strict with the people around him, and after criticizing Wei Zhongxian and Han Yi for a few words, he didn't say anything about the two of them, but only asked Wei Zhongxian again: "When Zhang Gui's comprehensive stores buy coal, can you ask you for money?" ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "No." ”

"Then you have to take the initiative to give!"

"His heart is real, do you follow the truth?"

Tianqi instructed, and said: "He has a good heart, and he can't bear to let the people freeze to death, so he sells high-priced coal to the people at a parity price, and also restricts the purchase, making it clear that he just wants to benefit the people, but he gives me the hearts of the people he got after doing this, and I can't get this people's hearts in vain, when the time comes, you take the initiative to go to him, how much money he spent on buying coal, you let the inner court really subsidize him." ”

"Yes! The slave obeys. ”

Wei Zhongxian replied.

At this time, Han Yi played a round for Wei Zhongxian and said: "Your Majesty, there is something here, you misunderstood, these coals from Uncle Guo were not bought by him, but produced in the farm you gave him. ”

Apocalypse was a little surprised when he heard it: "Really? ”

Han Yi said: "The minister doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, these are all told by the dog." ”

After hearing this, Tianqi said: "Then it shows that he is a kind-hearted person, just like his sister!" There is so much coal that I don't want to sell at a high price to make more money, but I sell it at a low price and take this opportunity to make me, the emperor, more popular. ”

Apocalypse said, "Let's go to Xishan to see him." ”

At this time, Han Yi hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty had better not go." ”

Apocalypse couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you go?" ”

Han Yi replied: "Because there are many dignitaries and nobles who go to Xishan today. ”

"Why a lot?"

Apocalypse asked.

Han Yi hurriedly told the apocalypse truthfully.

After hearing this, Tianqi "snorted": "Then I have to go, I want to see who looks at my brother-in-law like this!" When Wei Zhongxian arrives, remember to write down the names of those people! ”

"Yes!"

……

Before the arrival of the apocalypse, here in Xishan, Zhang Gui directly distributed coal and grain to the working people as wages, which angered many dignitaries and nobles who tried to hoard coal and force the people to sell their children cheaply, and made a group of civil officials begin to denounce Zhang Gui and even refute Wang Yingjiao, who began to feel guilty, Xu Guangqi stood up and said that those who scolded Zhang Gui at this time were all heartless.

The discordant voice inspired by Xu Guang was like a resounding slap in the face of Liu Yixiao and other dignitaries again.

"Xu Zixian, do you know what you're talking about?!"

Liu Yixian questioned Xu Guangqi first.

"Elder Ge, I don't need you to remind me, I know what I'm talking about!"

"I also thought that Uncle Guo was going to open a prostitution 0 nunnery in Xishan, and the world was bad, so I came to take a look, but now, I have to admit that I, Xu someone, was wrong, and it was a big mistake!"

As Yang Dahong said, Uncle Guo is indeed sincere for the country. Xu is ashamed! I have always looked at him with the inherent prejudice of a scholar. ”

"Just as Dasi Nong Fang Cai said, Xu also felt shameless in the face of the saint and the people, and the uncle of the country still knew how to take care of the people, so that the people would not freeze to death and starve to death; But I, Xu someone, as the constitutional officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, have never even spoken for these people, and Xu is really a blind person! ”

Xu Guangqi also said excitedly at this time.

Liu Yixiao's face became even more ugly after hearing this.

Liu Guojin sneered: "I can see it, you Xu Zi first said that he is not a party or a friend, but in fact, he has long been clinging to the powerful and is a traitor with his uncle Zhang Guo!" ”

"That's it! Now in the imperial court, why Zhu, Yao, Liang and other direct ministers have been killed one after another, it is because our civil officials are not united in the first place, and there are still a large number of traitorous ministers and mediocre ministers in the court! ”

Guo Xing said that during the matter, he pointed at Xu Guangqi and said in a fierce voice: "And you, Xu Guangqi, are one of these traitors!" You don't deserve to be one of our doctors! You are addicted to miscellaneous studies, do not pay attention to the scriptures of the saints, betray Confucianism, and now you are even more shameless, being a relative and a friend! Be punished! ”

"I, Xu Guangqi, have always been friends or parties, since you say so."

When Xu Guangqi said this, he resolutely took a step forward, as if he had crossed a chasm, and walked to the opposite side of the homeless people who were huddled under the shack and surrounded by the fire, looking at the dignitaries and nobles on the opposite side and saying: "From today onwards, I Xu Zi has friends first!" There is a party! And it's Uncle Guo's friend! ”

The homeless people looked at Xu Guangqi in a scarlet official robe in surprise, and a smile unconsciously overflowed on their faces.

"This cousin is also willing to be a friend of Uncle Guo!"

Wang Yingjiao was influenced by Xu Guangqi, and also stood up and stood on the side of the homeless people, and that step was particularly solid.

"Dasi Nong!"

Liu Yixiao shouted, but he didn't call Wang Yingjiao back.

"And me!"

At this time, Chen Zizhuang, a Hanlin editor who was born in Tanhua, also stood up.

"And me!"

"And me!"
