The yard where Lu Youqi lives is very simple, there is not even a separate well, and you have to go to the front yard to fetch water.

He didn't keep a maid either.

On the first day Li Huai entered the Taishou Mansion, he found that there were only guards on duty in the Taishou Mansion, and there were no external family members.

As for the furnishings, they are also very ordinary, and they are basically distributed by the imperial court according to the specifications of the Taishou, and they have not been added.

"Tell the prince and find a few silver tickets." Li Huai's retinue rode in the closet and found a box with several silver tickets in it, as well as broken silver and copper plates.

"How many?" Li Huai asked.

"A total of thirty-three taels and more than eighty-six texts." The retinue rode back.

Lu Youqi smiled innocently, "Lord Wang, the minister shouldn't even have this money." ”

"Of course not, Taishou is an official of the imperial court, with an annual salary of more than 100 taels, and a cloth rice subsidy, and a field rent, thirty-three taels, which is too little." Li Huai said with a smile.

"The minister can't control the money, so he usually receives the money and sends it home, leaving only some daily expenses." Lu Youqi explained.

Keep rummaging.

"Tell the prince, I found a silver ticket in my shoes, ten taels."

Ahem!

Lu Youqi coughed dryly, "Lord Wang, please keep it secret, it's not easy to hide some private money." ”

Li Huai was a little puzzled, "This king heard that Mrs. Zun lives in the countryside and basically doesn't come to the city, why do you hide your private money in your shoes?" ”

Lu Youqi smiled, "Isn't this to deal with surprise inspections?" ”

Reasonable.

Li Huai deliberately took the shoes where the money was hidden and looked at them, "Lu Taishou, you are also careful enough, it is still hidden in the sandwich of the shoes." ”

"Be careful!" Lu Youqi explained.

Li Huai put down his shoes, and then continued to rummage, but he didn't find anything, and he collected a total of forty-three taels of silver.

He is a big man, and he has no valuable gold and silver jewelry, and the only thing that is slightly valuable is an inkstone.

But the handwriting of Lu Youqi is not good-looking.

"This king can easily ask, did Lu Taishou hide Mrs. Zun in which country?" Li Huai asked instead.

"Shili Pavilion in Qingshui Township is on the edge of the Yellow River, not far from Jiuyuan City." Lu Youqi replied honestly.

"When was the last time you came home?" Li Huai continued to ask.

Lu Youji thought for a while and said, "Probably...... It was a month ago, when the Yellow River had just frozen, and the minister caught a carp weighing three catties and six taels. ”

"Withdraw!"

Li Huai collected the team and was about to go out.

Lu Youqi caught up with Li Huai and grabbed his hand, "Lord Wang, the secret of the minister's private money, the prince must not say it, this will be known, and the minister will be finished!" ”

"Is Mrs. Zun fierce?" Lou Xiaowan asked strangely, too guarded, hide ten taels of silver, no matter how strong the lady is, she will not kill anyone.

"Ben Wang...... Promise you! ”

Li Huai nodded, withdrew his hand, and was stained with some hand sweat, Lu Youqi was very nervous.

"Prepare the horses!"

Li Huai couldn't wait, took the small bowl upstairs and the entourage to ride, and set off directly and went out of the city through the south gate.

He just walked on his front foot.

Lu Youqi carried a hammer and smashed the chamber. All suspected detainees were released without permission.

"Get out of here, y'all!"

……

Not long.

Li Huai saw the Yellow River, and did not rush to Qingshui Township, he ran to the edge of the Yellow River and saw many people fishing.

So he dismounted and went to see.

Just close!

"Shh

The fisherman made a silent gesture, grabbed the sledgehammer with both hands, and slammed it on the ice.

Then change the hammer and slam the ice.

Soon he smashed a hole, rolled up his sleeves and touched it down, and after a while, he fished out a carp.

"This carp is so stupid that it doesn't even know how to run." Lou Xiaowan evaluated.

Li Huai smiled: "It's not that the carp doesn't run, it's that the eldest brother was stunned." When winter comes, carp will find deep water areas to inhabit, and some carp will move under the ice, so you can smash the ice to stun the carp, and then catch the fish. ”

Lou Xiaowan suddenly realized, "Childe is really insightful!" ”

The fishing man also noticed them at this time, seeing that Li Huai was young, his appearance was extraordinary, and there were so many followers, he knew that he was extraordinary.

"Childe even knows how to fish?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, people who are like this dress, let alone fishing, can't even distinguish grains.

You will know how to eat and drink.

"Know a little bit about it!"

Li Huai said with a smile, stepped forward, and looked at the ice hole below, "Big brother, if you smash the ice like this, aren't you afraid that you will accidentally smash the hole and people will fall down?" ”

"Afraid! How can you not be afraid. ”

The man sighed and said, "What's the use of being afraid, every few days, someone will fall, and if you're lucky, you can still come up, and some of you are unlucky, and you can't even find a corpse." ”

"For a few fish, not really." Li Huai doesn't understand too much, compared with several fish and human life, which one is more precious, this is a clear distinction between people.

The man glanced at him, and said with a little resentment: "You people who eat white noodles, how can you understand that we eat dregs." ”

"Big brother, you might as well talk about it, I also have a long experience." Li Huaigu asked.

Alas!

The man sighed again, "We poor peasants, just rely on the sky to eat, this year God will not appreciate food, the farmland has failed, and after paying the grain tax, there are not a few buckets of rice left, which is not enough for the family to eat, and we have to leave the grain planted next spring, which is even more insufficient." ”

"You nobles love to eat the winter carp of the Yellow River, and you are willing to spend silver, so let's catch fish for the nobles to eat, exchange some dregs, and save grain to survive this winter."

Lou Xiaowan asked again, "Then why don't you catch more carp before the Yellow River freezes, it's easier to catch at that time." ”

Li Huai stretched out his hand and patted her on the head, "Fool, the Yellow River winter carp is different from ordinary carp, the winter carp is fresh and sweet, so it is expensive." If the carp is not frozen, it is cheap. ”

"That's right." The man also agreed.

Lou Xiaowan touched his head, and he thought it simple again.

Li Huai thought for a while and asked, "Big brother, is there enough grain to grow at home for next year?" ”

The man sighed.

"It's still enough now, but it's only halfway through this winter, and no one knows if they can get through it.

"Then this can be regarded as a food shortage, does the government care? Have you ever been to the government? What does the government say? Li Huai continued to ask.

"I haven't looked for it anywhere, the government said that there is no grain in the granary, let us all hand over the grain and exchange it for bran, and when the ice and snow melt, the government will buy grain from Guanzhong and send it to us for free sowing." The man said.

Li Huai was shocked, could it be that the grain that those merchants bought at a low price and then resold was the grain grown by the people?

"Do you agree?"

"Some people believe it, and eighty percent of it is true, this year's harvest is poor, and the government has indeed not received the grain stockpile, and they have also opened a slip and stamped the official seal to guarantee. I'm timid, but I still think it's better to put the grain in my own home, but I can't survive it one day, so I guess I have to take out the grain and exchange it for some bran to eat. ”

When Li Huai heard this, his heart was cold to the freezing point, and he thought of them too well, they were not just corrupt and bribery, and engaged in illegal activities. They are going to ruin the entire Jiuyuan County, and even the entire Liangzhou!

How can the human heart be so dark!

Li Huai continued to visit the people in the vicinity, and according to what they said, he found that it was not only to grow grain, but also to grow grain, but also to bulen, pig iron, and medicinal herbs...... Wait a minute.

It's the middle of winter, and people are staying at home and not going out much, and there is no activity, and there will be no outbreak yet.

If you wait until the beginning of spring, the people will start to move, and there will be no such thing in the entire Jiuyuan County.

All the people stared dryly, and nothing could be done.

Then.

Millions of people are afraid that they will raise the banner of righteousness and rebel against him!

Li Huai also deliberately spent 20 taels of silver to buy a grain planting ticket, with which he went to the government to receive grain planting and sowing seeds after the beginning of spring.

According to his understanding, the Jiuyuan granary is already empty, and everything that can be sold has been sold, where will there be grain to distribute to the people at that time?

Guanzhong purchase?

Joke!

Who would sell their grain to others?

What's more, Guanzhong Mushen Slaughter and Li Huai also formed a relationship, if he knew that Liangzhou was short of grain, I am afraid that he would put five big locks on the granary overnight, and not a single grain would be sold!

This person who grows food stamps, even if it is 3,600 knives in Ling Chi, is not too much, and lighting the sky lantern is cheap for him.

And the official seal stamped on the grain stamps is the Jiuyuan County of Lu Youqi's order!

Above the Yellow River, there seems to be a little more chill, and this chill is accompanied by the breath of slaughter!
