Xie Qian also nodded approvingly: "Your Highness, you were very smart when you were a child, and you are also very loved." How did it come to this? After speaking, he shook his head again and again, and his heart ached.

Xie Qian's actions caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the somewhat solemn atmosphere just now became lively again. Lin Junliang wiped his sweat and quipped: "Lord, I scared the officials just now, and the prince didn't give me that compensation?" ”

Hua Houwei smiled and glanced at Lin Junliang meaningfully: "Well, you can." Cooperate with this anti-corruption campaign, let's settle together. ”

After Qiong Zhaozhong received Ma Wensheng's private message, he looked up to the sky and laughed. After being in bed for ten consecutive years, the housekeeper cringed into the bedroom, looked at Qiong Zhaozhong who was reading, hesitated for a long time, and still opened his mouth: "Master, master"

Qiong Zhaozhong raised his eyelids and glanced at him coldly, so frightened that the housekeeper didn't talk anymore. After Qiong Zhaozhong turned a page, he asked casually, "What's wrong?" Panicked like this? ”

The housekeeper hurriedly knelt in front of Qiong Zhaozhong: "Master, at home, the family is about to run out of food." ”

Joan Zhao???????????????? Zhong stared at the housekeeper in disbelief: "Lin Wu! Are you drinking too much again? How can it be? Don't you have any money on the counter? Is there a food shortage in Nanjing? ”

The housekeeper's heart was crossed, and he simply poured all the beans from the bamboo tube and said: "Master, there is no shortage of money on the counter, and the rice milled in the grain store on the street is not expensive, but no one does our business!" ”

Qiong Zhao's angry eyes were on fire: "Are you a dead man?" You won't report to the police? ”

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses don't care, the Nanjing Criminal Department doesn't care, the Dali Temple, the six departments, the small ones have all run over, and no one is willing to come forward to help us!" ”

Qiong Zhaozhong was in a daze for a while, this Zhu Houwei is so poisonous! actually used this kind of indiscriminate wild way to deal with himself! In fact, this is not Hua Houwei's handiwork, it is a series of meals specially prepared for him by Gu Hu who hated him for bullying Zhu Chang! He swallowed with difficulty: "How much food is left at home?" ”

The housekeeper closed his eyes painfully: "Master, tonight, tonight"

Qiong Zhaozhong interrupted the housekeeper's words: "Let the servants in the house go out, do they know everyone in my Qiong family?" ”

The butler opened his eyes suddenly, and said sadly, "Where are there any servants?" These wolf-hearted things have all run away! Master, let's go, go back to the capital, or we will starve to death in this Nanjing city! ”

Qiong Zhaozhong sat weakly on the bed, and the book "Pipe" also fell to the ground. Suddenly, Qiong Zhaozhong laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, and the housekeeper quickly stood up, held Qiong Zhaozhong and yelled: "Master! Master! ”

"It's okay, Lin Wu, the master is fine! You go, go to the Xu Family Grain Store on Zhuque Street to buy grain, no one will embarrass you! ”

The housekeeper was embarrassed and said, "Master, the little one has just come back from the Xu family's grain store." This, is this going to work? ”

Qiong Zhaozhong smiled and waved his hand: "Go, go, Lin Wu, the master is also the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the lord and I are the face of the imperial court, who dares to really starve me?" ”

After most of the day, the housekeeper walked in from the outside happily and shouted: "Master, you are really a god!" The little ones are cooking! ”

Qiong Zhaozhong smiled bitterly, didn't say anything and waved his hand to let the housekeeper get busy. Where does the housekeeper know, this is just the beginning. Jinyiwei's famous reputation, where was this small idea established? I don't know what dirty tricks are waiting yet! However, there is a spectrum in the Qiongzhao Center, no matter how unbearable he is, he is also a second-grade master, a veritable high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no real danger. Unless, it's King Wu!

Qiong Zhaozhong unfortunately expected, Hua Houwei's means came! In the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City, Li Dongyang asked Jiao Fang strangely: "Why is King Wu so calm there?" Meng Yang, you haven't heard anything? The old man always had a sense of foreboding. ”

At this time, Qian Ning came from outside the hall and arched his hand towards Li Dongyang: "Your Majesty asked the humble post to inform the boss that a large amount of polished rice is pouring into the north of the Yellow River, and the price of grain is fluctuating very much!" ”

Li Dongyang was taken aback, and his brows furrowed: "This King Wu, what is this for?" ”

Wang Wei laughed: "Lord Li, no matter what he King Wu wants to do, it is always good for the price of this grain to be low." ”

Yang Tinghe shook his head worriedly: "Lord Wang, you have little to do with King Wu, and you don't know how terrible King Wu is." King Wu did things, at first glance it was ridiculous, but when he realized that something was wrong, he was already powerless. What exactly does King Wu want to do? ”????????????????

Zhang Mao came to the Wenhua Hall today to discuss the matter, listened to a few people discuss, and suddenly was shocked: "Not good! Honorable! ”

Wang Yue also reacted: "Not bad, grain line!" The grain bank in the north is about to be one out of ten, and when the time comes, King Wu will raise the price if he wants to increase the price of grain, and the court is helpless! ”

Jiang Bin shook his head: "More than that!" "He really rose up from the big head, and there are some things that only he understands. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Bin smiled bitterly: "Military household! Most of the sergeants and soldiers of the border army farmed in their spare time and responded to recruitment in wartime. If the price of food is too low, these people, these people will not survive. At that time, I am afraid that it is indispensable to escape, and the most fatal thing is the grassland, but it has a lot to do with King Wu! ”

Ma Wensheng glanced at Jiang Bin with disdain: "No, right?" The old man had never heard that people couldn't live because of the low price of food. ”

Jiang Bin knew that in the eyes of these people, he was a lucky man, and others looked down on him. He explained sincerely: "Master Ma, if the price of grain is too low, it will be unprofitable to farm. Farming is not only to fill the stomach, open the door seven things, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, just rice can't be done! Food, clothing, housing and transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death, which one can be done without money? Food prices are too low, what can you have? ”

No way! Ma Wensheng never thought that the price of food would be low! The key Jiang Bin said is reasonable, there are more than 800,000 people in the border army who have planted a million lands, and they have all run away, and the Ming Dynasty has become a ripe fruit in an instant, and the grassland barbarians in the north are not very happy to eat?

Yang Tinghe nodded: "Lord Jiang is extremely worried, no, you must ask Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation!" ”

At this time, a person hurriedly walked in from outside the hall and bowed his hand to Li Dongyang: "Lord Li, Dongchang learned that Jiangnan has mobilized a large number of cotton cloths and is ready to sell them to the north of the Yellow River at a low price. ”

What is this for? Yang Tinghe really couldn't understand Hua Houwei's thoughts, and couldn't help but say to himself: "What kind of medicine is sold in King Wu's gourd?" ”

Lei Buyu spoke for the first time today: "Hengshan's plan! King Wu is going to strangle us completely! Ladies and gentlemen, when the former official was under the command of King Wu, once King Wu talked about the overall war, he said that he could completely control a country without spending a single soldier. When the country's food, medicine, transportation, minerals, etc. are controlled in their hands, the gods are not saved when they come! ”

Jiao Fang snorted: "No! Lord Lei doesn't have to be afraid to be like this! "This Jiao Fang has a problem, not only the common problem that scholars and doctors don't look down on military generals, but also the unique symptoms that don't look down on southern officials. So Lei Buyu is a Jiangxi person, he doesn't look down on it from the bottom of his heart!

After sneering at Lei Buyu, Jiao Fang continued: "What kind of overall battle, that is King Wu's big words, where has such a thing happened from ancient times to the present?" During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the country was small and the people were widowed, and it may still be possible. Now that the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and hundreds of billions of subjects, how can such a ridiculous thing happen? ”

Wang Wei nodded approvingly, people like Jiao Fang can't look down on them, but they are always much better than generals like Lei Buyu, right? The military general is just Qiu Ba, and An Neng is more knowledgeable than a scholar?

He was not as obvious as Jiao Fang expressed, and his tone was very kind: "Lord Lei, a country and a family are the same, but it is very different to deal with it!" No matter how rich a family is, what the country can do, can a family really do? Or what Master Jiao said, there is no need to worry about it! ”

Yang Tinghe was on Lei Buyu's side this time, he frowned and said, "Lord Wang, maybe Lord Lei???????????????? There are some deviations in concern, but since King Wu came to prominence, which thing has not broken the routine and made people jaw-dropping? Therefore, the lower officials thought that the preparations that should be made must be done, otherwise it will be too late to regret it! ”

At this time, the court was like the Northern Song Dynasty, and the eastern and western governments had their own responsibilities, one in charge of the certificate and the other in charge of the army. When Zhu Houzhao is not there, it is inevitable that each will protect its own interests. Why did Yang Tinghe support Lei Buyu? In addition to the fact that he was afraid of Hua Houwei from the bottom of his heart, there was another point to protect the interests of the Military Aircraft Department.

Li Dongyang, as the boss of the cabinet, couldn't help but come out, he coughed lightly: "Don't dwell on the details, King Wu's methods are unpredictable, even now that the Wing Zhen Army appears outside the city, the old man is not surprised!" But what Lord Wang said is also reasonable, one country and one family cannot be compared. Well, so be it, a headache doctor has a headache and a pain in the feet, just take the matter! ”

Why don't you say that Liu Jian can't look down on Li Dongyang in his heart? Li Dongyang has a major flaw in his personality! The great man once said, who dares to cross the sword? Li Dongyang lacks this point. Only those with great perseverance and perseverance can turn the tide! This person can only be a general and can only do the position of chief of staff, and the general manager lacks the courage to go to the top of tens of millions of people!

What is Li Dongyang's position? The first assistant of the cabinet in the middle and late Ming Dynasty is above 10,000 people under one person! The so-called struggle between the monarchs and the power, his position is the head of one party. Without the decision to change the sun and the moon into a new day, how can he be in charge of the political situation?

So it is not surprising that the joint meeting of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department did not have any constructive resolutions. Several targeted means of the introduction are also soft and not sloppy, and Yang Tinghe's evaluation is to open the door and steal!

In just one month, the business community in the north was full of wailing. Xungui's industrial foundation is thick and can barely support it, and those real businessmen are in dire straits. The provincial envoys couldn't sit still, and these businessmen and local officials were inextricably linked, and some of them were even the private property of officials.

The snowflakes for help generally flew to the capital, and those political envoys made the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, and the six departments, three divisions, and cabinets in the capital are generally wailing for help!
