Chapter 18: Scolding the Captain
As soon as this remark came out.
All the civil and military officials were shocked!
A whisper immediately sounded in the Fengtian Temple.
Even Empress Wu Mingkong didn't control her expression.
Allure's face showed a look of surprise.
"Have one, kill one, have a pair, kill a pair!"
"In the face of such a huge interest group, he is so tough!"
Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu, and became more and more unable to figure out what he was doing here.
[Mood +2000]
Yushi, who impeached Zhao Zhengrong, heard such tough words, and only felt a cloud of anger rise in his chest.
He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, looked at Fang Xiu and asked, "Fang Xiang's words are wrong, although those grain merchants are guilty, they are not guilty of death......
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu.
"According to my law, raising the price of grain is a capital crime!"
"Don't you know this, as an imperial historian?"
Fang Xiu looked at the imperial historian with a chill in his eyes.
Seeing this, the imperial history was not to be outdone, and took a step forward and said: "The official just said that the price of this grain is higher than the price set by the government, which is normal......"
"Normal?"
Fang Xiu sneered and said, "Do you know what the price of grain that is also produced in Wu Country is placed in Yan Country?" ”
When the imperial historian heard this question, he was stunned for a moment.
The price of grain in Yanguo?
How did he know this?
The rest of the hundred officials were also puzzled, not understanding what Fang Xiu meant by suddenly mentioning Yan Guo.
The imperial history hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't know. ”
Fang Xiu sneered: "Yan Country is also short of grain, and it is also far away from Wu Kingdom, but this grain merchant of Wu Country transports grain to the capital of Yan Kingdom, but only sells it for one liter and twelve yuan!" ”
"The same grain was sold for forty wen in Qianguo, more than three times!"
"Such a contrast, is it normal?"
"This ......"
It was the first time that the imperial history had heard about it, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
When the officials heard that there was such a big difference in grain prices, they also talked about it.
Dragon chair.
When Wu Mingkong heard this number, there was a trace of anger in his eyes!
If what Fang Xiu said was true!
Then these grain merchants of Wu State are executed by Ling Chi, it is not an exaggeration!
Because they didn't take Daqian seriously at all!
Didn't take the dry people in your eyes!
When the imperial historians heard this number, they looked at each other and did not dare to answer.
This time.
One of the military attachés stepped forward.
"The old minister thinks that the Yan country is strong, the Yan people are martial, and the grain merchants of the Wu country set the price so in order to stabilize the Yan people and prevent them from invading."
"But my country is different, compared with Yan and Wu, our country is relatively weak, and the grain merchants of Wu don't need to worry too much about pricing."
"If the imperial court follows the example of Yan and punishes the grain merchants of Wu State with heavy punishments, the grain merchants of Wu State are unprofitable and unwilling to sell grain again, and the imperial court will fall into a crisis of food shortage."
"At that time, I am afraid that the people will be even more miserable than they are now."
"Although the old minister's words are not listened to, they are also the heartfelt words of the old minister, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!"
Those who dare to speak in this tone, there are not many people in the entire court.
This time it was no one else who stepped forward.
It is the head of the military attaché, Taiwei Tian Runyu!
The voice fell.
The civil and military officials whispered again.
"What the captain said, although it is a little ugly, is also true."
"Yan Guo is strong, I am weak, it is not appropriate to compare Yan Guo with my big Qian."
"The basis of this price of grain is grain! Without food, no matter how many grain merchants are killed, it is useless! ”
"Yes, punishing grain merchants, in the final analysis, is just a headache and foot pain, and it can't solve the problem at all."
They are ostensibly talking about the facts.
In fact, it was said to Fang Xiu and the empress.
These guys didn't dare to confront Fang Xiu and the Empress head-on, so they could only express their opinions in this way.
All in all, in one sentence.
The country is weak.
Wu Guoqiang.
For these grain merchants, they can only be appeased, not punished!
Wu Mingkong listened to the discussion of the hundred officials, and anger appeared in his eyes.
These dog things, on the surface, are selfless and selfless for the sake of the imperial court.
Actually, it's not for their own little benefit.
No matter how bold those merchants of Wu are, they don't dare to quadruple the price of grain!
Behind them must be standing the hundred officials of the court!
These three or four times the benefits, I don't know how much goes into their pockets.
Food prices are high.
It doesn't have the slightest impact on these officials, but it can make them make a lot of money!
But it is the people who are suffering greatly!
That's it.
Wu Mingkong could no longer restrain the anger in his heart and was ready to open his mouth to refute.
"What the Captain Said......"
As soon as she spoke, she heard a thunderous roar in the Fengtian Temple.
"What the captain said, bullshit is not as good!"
Fang Xiu's face was full of anger, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "According to what Taiwei said, I am very weak, so I can be bullied by others?!" ”
"Even a group of small grain merchants, unpopular people, can trample on the laws of my great cadres, trample on the dignity of my great cadres, and bully the people of my great cadres?!"
"In that case, what is the point of the existence of the imperial court? What is the significance of the court princes standing here? ”
"Judging from the original appearance, Captain Tai's knowledge, instead of talking about it here, it is better to go home to raise pigs and farm, and save some food for the benefit of the people!"
"This can be regarded as playing the last value of the captain!"
Taiwei has lived for seventy or eighty years, and he has never been scolded so angrily.
His eyes widened, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Fang Xiu, his voice trembled with anger, and his whole body trembled.
"You, you!"
"What are you!"
Fang Xiu didn't save face for him at all, and said with a sneer on his face: "I don't like what I say, but every word is also from the bottom of my heart!" ”
"What? This is a contrary advice, Your Majesty can hear it, you can hear it, you can hear it from all the princes in the court, but only the Taiwei can't hear it? ”
"You, you!"
"Me, me!"
After all, Taiwei Tian Runyu is in a high position, where has he received this kind of anger.
It's seventy or eighty years old again, and under the rage, I feel that I can't breathe.
The withered arm, pointing at Fang Xiu, trembled, you and I couldn't say a word for a long time.
Fang Xiu glanced at him and sneered: "Tai Wei is in a high position, ranking first among military attachés, and it is normal for people to not know the suffering of the people, and not to know firewood, rice, oil and salt. ”
"Just! This knowledge is known, ignorance is ignorance, and if you don't know, you still have to talk about it, and you can't say it! ”
"Taiwei just said that if you punish the grain merchants of the Wu State with heavy punishments, the grain merchants of the Wu State will be unprofitable."
"As everyone knows, a few years ago, the national conditions of my great cadres were almost the same as now, but the price of grain was almost the same as that of Yan Kingdom!"
"The fundamental reason why the price of food has risen to the point where it is now is because people like the Taiwei acquiesce and connive!"
"Punish the grain merchants, the grain merchants will not be unprofitable, what is unprofitable is just a moth like Taiwei!"
As soon as this remark came out.
There was silence in the Mukden Temple!
The civil and military officials all lowered their heads and did not say a word, obviously being said to be in their hearts.
They couldn't have imagined it anyway.
This kind of pickled affair that should have been hidden in the shadows will be put on the bright side by Fang Xiu.
Now.
What the civil and military officials wanted was not to refute, but to protect themselves.
One by one, they were silent, for fear that they would become the next person to be targeted by Fang!
The entire Mukden Temple.
Only the bright-eyed beauty on the dragon chair - Empress Wu Mingkong's eyebrows bloomed.
But in just a moment, she regained her expressionless state.
There was no expression on her face, but in her heart she rarely praised this traitor she hated to the core.
Shouting:
"Good scolding!"
Meanwhile.
Fang Xiu's mind sounded with the system's prompt.
