Chapter 254: It's a Big Loss
The next morning, Jing Zhaoyin and the generals of the city defense army told the original story of the explosion last night and the results of the investigation.
The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces already knew about it last night, and she is still shocked when she hears it today.
The courtiers were furious.
Sixteen people were killed, thirty-seven were seriously injured, and hundreds were slightly injured.
And all this turned out to be because the wood shop piled up sawdust in the backyard, and encountered the Mid-Autumn Festival lights, and the sawdust encountered Martianzi and exploded suddenly.
Thanks to Lin Shizi and the eldest lady of the Yang family for cleaning up the crowd around the fire, and also rescued a child in the fire, otherwise the consequences of the second explosion would be unimaginable!
And what the other courtiers were angry about was not only this explosion, but also another incident after the explosion.
A wall attached to the backyard of the lumber shop was blown down, revealing a granary separated by a wall.
And Jing Zhaoyin found in the investigation that the grain in the granary turned out to be straw!
That's it.
So several storerooms of the granary were led one after another.
The people take food as the sky, and the granary of the capital is empty!
The queen mother of the two palaces was furious, so she ordered Jing Zhaoyin to investigate carefully.
Jing Zhaoyin proposed to reward Lin Xiao and Yang Mu, but no one objected to this matter.
Thus, on that day, the holy decrees of various rewards and commendations entered the Dingwang Mansion and the Protector Mansion.
Yesterday's explosion was so big that it spread throughout the capital in a short period of time.
While lamenting the bad luck of the dead and injured, the common people all admired Lin Xiao and Yang Mu.
Therefore, since this day, the people who have nowhere to put their gratitude have poured into Lin Xiao's Nightless Building and Yang Mu's shop to spend wildly.
There were even people who sent eggs, vegetables, melons, fruits, and poultry to the Protector's Mansion, only to ask Yang Muneng to accept them. It's a pity that the Yang family's family resolutely refused to accept it, saying that the eldest lady said it, and this is what she should do.
There is nowhere to put the enthusiasm of the common people, so if you don't accept it, I won't leave.
All of a sudden, the Protector's Mansion was full of people.
When Yang Chengen came back from the barracks, he thought that the people were coming to riot, and the porter explained for a long time before he knew that his granddaughter had given the Yang family face.
The old man was so happy that his walk became a figure-eight step.
Yang Zhen was also startled when he came back, and when he and his son Yang Kai entered through the back door, they knew what was going on, and they couldn't cry or laugh.
Dingwang's Mansion is an inner city, and the people can't enter, until it's Ansheng, but the entrance to the Huguo Mansion is blocked.
In the end, there was no way, Yang Mu passed the word and only accepted a part.
For example, only one is harvested for a handful of vegetables; a basket of eggs, only one; A big goose that only collects goose feathers......
There was a long queue at the Protector's Mansion, all of which were for gifts.
There are all kinds of strange gifts from the common people, Yang Mu looked at the gifts piled up into a small mountain, dumbfounded.
This is still only a little bit, if you collect them all, what kind of famine are you afraid of?
Yang Mu asked Daishan, "If you let it spread, will you let it out?" ”
Daishan said with a smile: "I let it out, saying that there may be locusts crossing the border this year, and the crops that every household can harvest will be harvested as soon as possible!" ”
Yang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to her for spreading these words early, otherwise she would really be ashamed of the enthusiasm of these people.
Over there, Cherry reported that Yang Chengen was looking for her, so Yang Mu went to Gyeongbokgwon.
In Jingfu Courtyard, Yang Chengen and his wife sat down, and Yang Zhen and Tang accompanied them.
Yang Chengen praised Yang Mu vigorously, and then said: "I heard that you just opened a few shops, how is the miracle doctor?" ”
Chen looked at her husband in surprise, Yang Chengen has been a martial artist all his life, and he has never asked about these things.
Yang Mu explained the situation of the store, and then said: "In this situation, every store has to queue up to call the number. ”
Yang Chengen was very satisfied, beckoned to Yang Mu, and after his granddaughter came over, he took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms and said, "Buy some jewelry!" ”
Yang Mu's eyes widened, this is a silver ticket of one hundred and twenty pieces! So thick! Not a few thousand taels?
Yang Zhen also said: "Your grandfather praised you, and I can't be left behind." ”
He smiled and took out a silver ticket that was half less than Yang Chengen's and stuffed it into Yang Mu's hand.
Yang Mu blinked his eyes, this ...... It's more profitable than opening a store!
When Yang Fei knew that Yang Mu had won tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets because of his efforts on the fire, the handkerchief was about to be torn.
God knows how short of silver she is now!
In the past, she not only had a monthly allowance of fifty taels, but also had Tang's dowry shop to make up for it, and she was never short of money.
Now the Tang family not only took back the shop to Yang Mu, but also used the excuse that she had taken an extra monthly case before, and only gave her twenty taels of monthly money every month.
She still has to stock up on food, and she is simply stretched!
I knew that I wouldn't have pulled Li Che last night!
She also went to the scene to command and command, and she could get tens of thousands of taels of silver!
What a loss!
Lu Yao watched the second miss pull the veil, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and then changed into a respectful expression, and said, "Second Miss, we have already hoarded hundreds of stones of grain, and I can open a grain shop when I see it." ”
Yang Fei came back to her senses and said, "Not enough! ”
She lowered her head and weighed for a moment, and said, "I'll write a letter, and you can send it to the prince." ”
Lu Yao obediently responded.
It's just that the first person to see this letter was not Li Che, but Yang Mu.
In Wanxiangfang, Yang Mu looked at the content of the letter and copied it first, before letting the skillful Daishan reseal it.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Daishan was puzzled: "Why does the second lady want to borrow money from Prince Su's son?" What else does not take half a month, he will definitely surprise him! What surprises? ”
Yang Mu is heart moved, it seems that within half a month, famine is coming.
She said to Daishan: "Continue to release the news, saying that the locusts are only afraid that they will come in less than half a month, and every household will save food to eat, and stock up on some." ”
Daishan said: "If this is released, I am afraid that the price of food will rise immediately!" ”
Yang Mu asked, "How much grain have we hoarded?" ”
Dai Shan said with a smile: "We have four large courtyards for food stockpiling, plus Lin Shizi's there, I'm afraid it's enough for the entire capital to eat for a few days." ”
Yang Mu frowned and said, "In other words, if you sell cheap grain, you can only sell it for a few days?" ”
Dai Shan hurriedly said: "Every household is hoarding grain these days, at least for ten days, right?" In addition, there were originally eight granaries in the capital, which was enough for the people of the capital to eat for a few months. Those grain merchants who want to make black money by relying on disaster years are not so easy to get rich. ”
Yang Mu tapped his fingers on the table and muttered, "The explosion caused a problem in the Suzaku warehouse in the capital, but I'm afraid that other granaries may not be appropriate." Lin Xiao has been investigating for so long, but he has not found any clues. ”
If it wasn't for the problem in the granary of the capital, why would Yang Fei hoard grain?
After thinking about it, Yang Mu sighed and said, "Hurry up and spread the word, and the matter of harvesting should also be spread, try to harvest all the crops that can be harvested, don't lose too much." ”
If there is a real famine, even a single grass is food.
Daishan hurriedly went, leaving Yang Mu in a daze in the small room.
Li Che finally believed Yang Fei and sent 10,000 taels of silver tickets, Yang Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Lu Yao to stock up on grain.
When Lu Yao went to buy grain, he found that the price of grain had risen, and he could have bought 4,000 stone of grain, but now he could only buy 3,000 stone.
It is not yet in stock, so reservations are required.
When the food will arrive, there is no way to know.
Lu Yao could only go back with the silver ticket and ask Yang Fei, and Yang Fei had no choice but to ask Lu Yao to exchange the silver ticket for a small amount of silver ticket and buy spot.
But I didn't buy much from the spot, only a little more than a thousand stones.
Lu Yao had no choice but to go outside the city to buy it, but fortunately, there were many people who stole and sold the master's grain in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and they finally scraped together enough 3,000 stones.
