Chapter 40: The Zongren's Mansion Discusses the Beheading

Fifteen days after the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain.

It is said that Jiang Tingxi, the secretary of the household department, almost quarreled with Yinxiang in the court. It was Zhang Tingyu who persuaded the two of them to leave.

It is said that Yinxiang brushed his sleeves away when he got off the court.

It is said that Jiang Tingxi told people in private that if he continued to do this, he could only hang up the crown and beg to go.

There are a lot of rumors.

However, on the one hand, the household department is crying about poverty, and on the other hand, the speed of allocating grain and appropriation is not slow at all.

Not to mention the grain merchants, even Yinyu and Yinyu are a little bottomless in their hearts.

The prices of the merchants in Jiangnan have dropped to 60% of theirs, and a single shipload of grain has not yet been sold.

Yinyu deliberately asked his grain merchants to buy out their grain and let them leave early. Several grain merchants hesitated and refused to make a move.

President Fang of the Grain Merchants Guild took people to their cargo ship to take a look, and when he came to see Yinyu, his face was not very good-looking.

"Ninth Master, I'm afraid that we will suffer if we press this goods again," Chairman Fang first said: "These merchants have brought together a shipload of goods, and it is true that they have not been sold out yet." The imperial court has been releasing grain more vigorously these days than before, and the grain reserves are probably much more than we imagined. ”

Yin Yu snorted coldly: "Impossible, with this kind of grain release, it is absolutely impossible for them to last for a month." ”

However, on weekdays, the grain merchants are only obedient, but today some people can't bear it.

A few grain merchants squeezed out of President Fang.

"How is it impossible, our people are watching everywhere. That shipment is not sold out, and the grain we sell here is even more certain. The rest must have been released by the imperial court! ”

"The Ninth Master told us at the time that the imperial court couldn't last half a month, but now that half a month has passed, they have more food every day. If we continue like this, we will not be able to hold it out first. We still borrow money from your bank, and we have to repay the interest. ”

"Those southern barbarians are right, when the autumn grain comes up, our grain will be pressed in our hands. If you want me to say, while you still make money, sell it early. ”

Yinyu's face turned pale: "Don't say anything depressing, I'll still say that, wait!" Consumed! We can win this battle. ”

He warned in a cold voice: "If any of you dare to let go at this time, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

******

The summer wind doesn't bring a trace of coolness.

Even though the sun had been setting for a long time, the land that had been scorched by the scorching sun all day was still hot.

Chi Xia nestled on the bamboo collapse and didn't want to move.

In the past few days, she is studying how to improve the textile machine, and Yongzheng has endless excerpts, and she basically has to work overtime.

Miao Miao saw that she finally stood up to "compete for favor", and she had just been "summoned" for a few days, and began to relapse into her old ways and have nothing to do, and persuaded: "Little master, the emperor has rewarded the musical instruments in this room, why don't you learn it." ”

Chi Xia is reading all kinds of novels that travel back to ancient times to make a fortune and strengthen the country and enrich the people, searching for useful information.

Hearing this, he said perfunctorily: "Everyone will still learn what I will do with it?" I'll learn something they won't. ”

For example, get some rubber to modify the wheels.

Miao Miao was helpless: "The musicians said last time that you asked you to guide them, didn't you go either?" ”

Chi Xia was embarrassed, and last time she gave the music score she copied to the musicians and asked them to rehearse before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The musicians were very diligent, saying that they had not seen such a huge score for a long time, and they worked overtime to rehearse for several days.

But the pointing couldn't be pointed, she couldn't understand it at all.

Miao Miao sighed hatefully.

Chi Xia was amused by her, and felt that she was sorry for her worry if she didn't do something.

"Okay, don't lie down, I'm going to cook, I'm going to the Heart Cultivation Hall to deliver food, right?"

Miao Miao breathed a sigh of relief: "What does the little master do, let me help you?" ”

Chi Xia waved her hand, of course she didn't really do it on such a hot day, she drove people out and casually sat in the small kitchen for a while, picked out some refreshing ice desserts from the system inventory, and went out with the food box.

She is now also a "frequent visitor" in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and as soon as Su Peisheng saw her carrying a food box, he immediately greeted her:

"The little master came just in time, the emperor is not in a good mood, and lunch is useless, you can persuade him."

Chi Xia was puzzled: "Isn't Prince Yi here?" ”

This kind of daily work must be Yinxiang.

Su Peisheng smiled bitterly, let the others retreat, and led her in: "Isn't it just to be angry with His Highness." ”

That's not the usual thing......

Chi Xia was just about to retreat, but Su Peisheng had already sent her "enthusiastically": "Your Majesty, the nobles of Chi ask to see you." ”

Inside screamed in.

Su Peisheng opened and closed the door for her intimately, didn't dare to look inside, and still went outside to guard.

The folds were scattered all over the ground, and a tea cup was broken.

Yinxiang knelt on the ground and said nothing.

It's hard to ride a tiger.

Chi Xia could only put the food box on the table and squatted down to say goodbye: "Greetings to the emperor, greetings to His Royal Highness." ”

In the end, it was Yongzheng who opened his mouth first: "Let's get up." ”

Chi Xia got up and took the initiative to pave the steps for Yinxiang: "Your Highness, the emperor is calling." ”

Yongzheng didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

Yinxiang knocked down: "The minister doesn't dare." The emperor wants to rectify the court situation, and the ministers are so unwavering and unwavering, they are really guilty of not being punished, how dare they rise up. ”

Chi Xia: ......

There are no steps down, and it seems that the temper is not small.

She looked at Yongzheng and was about to say I can't help it.

Only then did he notice that his face was pale, and he pressed his heart with one hand, as if he was enduring the pain, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Are you okay?" ”

Yongzheng waved his hand and sat down with the strength she was supporting, as if he was slowly relieving.

Chi Xia frowned, this was the second time she had found Yongzheng's symptoms similar to "angina".

Although they all eased quickly, they didn't look normal.

When I turned around, I saw Yinxiang still kneeling, and I was helpless: "I said Your Highness, look up, don't make the emperor dizzy." ”

Yongzheng took a breath, probably eased up a little, and actually gave in first: "This matter will be discussed later, what you said is right, I think about it again." ”

Yinxiang was also taken aback by his face and quickly got up.

Yongzheng Fangcai's clothes were wet with tea, and when he saw Yinxiang getting up, he first called Su Peisheng to wait for him to change clothes.

Chi Xia saw that Yongzheng would not be there, and hurriedly persuaded Yinxiang.

"I said, Your Highness, what are you angry with the emperor? Knowing that the emperor is worried about your body and won't let you kneel, you still threaten him with this. ”

"I said, sister-in-law, why don't you ask the reason, just pull the shelf here."

Yinxiang smiled bitterly: "I just talked about how to deal with the starling brother who made people destroy the new seeds, the fourth brother wants the Zongren Mansion to take people, and get to the bottom of the hoarding of food this time, it is best to discuss it, I just persuaded a few words...... The fourth brother said that he was not afraid of notoriety and asked me not to interfere more. ”

He was also a little aggrieved: "Do I care about my reputation?" ”

Chi Xia twisted his eyebrows and interrupted him: "What's wrong with discussing slashing?" Shouldn't he have been killed? ”

If nothing else, just look at the famine and the displaced people in Manzhili, shouldn't the initiator die?
