Chapter 129: See the Little Emperor
The housekeeper looked at this weak girl being forced to look so pitiful, and he couldn't help but move his heart to hide, not to mention Liu Zitao's opening to intercede, so he waved his hand and let the maid leave.
The maidservant lifted the hem of her skirt, turned around three times in one step, and slowly disappeared into the compound.
"Thank you, Guard Liu, if you hadn't told me that a stranger had entered Mrs. Zhang's courtyard, I probably wouldn't have noticed."
Liu Zitao shrugged his shoulders.
"After all, I am the prince's personal guard, and it is also appropriate to do these things, and it is also my responsibility to protect the upper and lower levels of our palace, if the housekeeper has nothing else to do, then I will leave first."
"Good, good."
The housekeeper agreed happily, and Liu Zitao's action was also very quick.
Taking advantage of the growing moonlight, Liu Jun accompanied Gu Caiwei to have a few drinks, and Liu Zitao left first.
The little emperor had just been served by the eunuch at this time, sitting on the dragon chair, still holding a book in his hand.
A gust of wind blew, and the little emperor's eyes fell on the window, and then Liu Zitao walked out of the screen behind.
"How did you come so quickly?"
"There is no special situation on the prince's side now, he is appeasing the princess's emotions, so let me come over early."
"I haven't gotten much news lately, what's going on over there?"
"Lord Wang, I am now checking the account books of various chambers of commerce, because I found that not only the account books of the grain chamber of commerce have problems, but also several other chambers of commerce have big problems, and all the prices on the market have increased many times, and many ordinary people are about to be unable to afford to eat."
Being able to afford to eat and let the people live and work in peace and contentment is the most basic ambition of a king, but the little emperor thought that he hadn't even done this, so he couldn't help but blame himself in his heart and looked at each other.
"These things can only let the second emperor uncle help me worry about them, and now there are more and more people sent by Zhang Zhenglu to keep an eye on me, and I have a lot of things that are inconvenient, so I can only rely on you to pass on information."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will swear allegiance to you!"
The president of the Grain Chamber of Commerce had been to the Regent's Mansion, and this matter could not be concealed soon, and Zhang Zhenglu was not annoyed when he got the news.
I know that those people can't escape Liu Jun's eyes when they come to their house, and it doesn't matter if they are discovered, at least they don't have to worry about it anymore, and there is a result.
The housekeeper asked everyone to go down, and there were only two people in the entire study, Zhang Zhenglu and the housekeeper.
"My lord, now that the regent already knows about Chen Youfu's relationship with us, should we ......?"
The housekeeper didn't say anything, but Zhang Zhenglu still glanced at him coldly.
"No, as the parent official of the common people, it is normal for me to ask Chen Youfu about the food, but it is eye-catching to do it at this time, so we will do our thing well and tell the people below that we are not allowed to accept it."
"Yes."
It's been two days now, and it's not just prices that have gone up, but there are more and more refugees.
Gu Caiwei had a headache in her heart, but it was really difficult to show it in front of Liu Jun, and when she saw Liu Jun looking at her concerned eyes, she raised a strong smile and looked at Liu Jun.
"It's fine."
"It's okay, today I heard that you were absent-minded all afternoon, so I guess you must still be thinking about those refugees."
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, although I am not a mother now, but I am also a daughter, watching those children starve to death their mothers are powerless, I am really heartbroken."
At this point, I can still think about others like this.
Liu Jun was also distressed in his heart, and touched the other party's head.
"I promise you, I'll get these things done as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, what about the prince, let's send people down? Now that there are so many refugees, sooner or later Lin'an City will be unable to bear the refugees from all directions who are pouring here, so it is better for us to bring these refugees to several surrounding counties. ”
Gu Caiwei thought about it and there was no better way, so she suggested in a low voice.
The idea is good, but it is difficult to implement, Liu Jun shook his head.
"Now in Lin'an City, I can still give those people a little support, if I go to other counties, if there is no supervision, no one knows whether those counties will be disobedient."
Also.
At least in Lin'an City, Liu Jun is their umbrella, although he has put in a lot of effort now, he still hasn't filled everyone's stomach, but at least he won't be as sad as those who are still outside.
"What do you think of the place I took you out to the green last time?"
"Beautiful scenery with a pleasant view."
Recall, the last time the two went out, Gu Caiwei was embarrassed to answer.
"What do you think of that place if it were for refugees?"
That place is located in the most green place in Lin'an City, and it is basically only visited when dignitaries go out to go out.
"It's good for refugees to live in that place, but that land should be someone's home, and so many refugees, if they live, it may be inconvenient......"
Gu Caiwei propped up her chin with one hand, looked at the rose sweet wine in front of her, hesitated for a moment, took it and tasted it shallowly, still feeling a little spicy, Liu Jun smiled and took the wine glass to his hand.
"If you don't like to drink, don't drink it. I'll think about it again and tell you when I come up with a good solution. ”
"Okay, I've taken out a few more pieces of valuable jewelry, and I'll pawn them tomorrow, right? Seeing so many people homeless, it doesn't matter if I give out some jewelry, I can help. ”
Liu Jun watched Gu Caiwei take out a few jade bracelets and a few necklaces from his arms.
Although there are not many of them, looking at the color of this chain and the water in the jadeite, Liu Jun knows that these are some good things.
"No, there are still a lot of things in the warehouse, not to mention have you forgotten? There is also a lot of water in my glass shop, which is enough for the refugees to buy rice. ”
Drinking some porridge every day is not a long-term solution, you have to settle these refugees first, otherwise Lin'an City will be flooded by refugees sooner or later, and the people who originally lived here will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
"You can take it first."
Seeing that Gu Caiwei was so resolute, Liu Jun didn't refuse to take the things into his hands anymore.
"Then put it with me first, and I'll give it to you when you want to wear it."
"Everything is up to you."
Gu Caiwei replied softly.
