Chapter 170: Self-Knowledge

The virtuous servant's question really scared the three princesses, her face changed and changed, and then she said with difficulty:

"Father, do you really want the position of the imperial husband?"

That's the reason he can think of.

"Then you also have to have the mind to compete for the throne, so that your father can fight for this position."

Xian Shijun stared at his daughter for a moment and said.

"Don't! Father, I don't have that much ambition, I just want to be a princess, and I live this life idlely, don't embarrass me, I can't fight the eldest sister and the second sister.

The eldest sister is deeply respected by the mother, and the second sister's father holds military power, so I have no competitive capital. ”

The three princesses waved their hands directly and said.

"You don't need to worry about this, as long as I sit in the position of the imperial husband, there will naturally be courtiers who support you to become your help, our current disadvantage will be our advantage in the future."

Xian Shijun still said unhurriedly.

"Father, even so, I don't want to be a puppet empress! I also don't believe that these people will unconditionally support me to ascend to the throne, just like the mother said, God will not drop the pie in vain, and it will not necessarily hit me when it falls.

The most important thing is that my daughter knows her own catties, I don't have the ability to sit in that position, when virtue is not worthy, what will be brought to Fengqi Country is a disaster, and I don't want to become the empress of the country. ”

The head of the three princesses shook like a rattle, and the reasons for refusal were also very sufficient, which could be regarded as convincing her father not to get involved, for fear that the virtuous servant would insist on going his own way, and even the queen of the dead country would take it out to talk about it.

However, from another aspect, the three princesses have a clear understanding of themselves, and she became the empress of the dead country in her last life.

Only then did a relieved smile appear on the face of the virtuous servant, and he pursed his lips and said:

"It seems that you have a clear understanding of yourself, so it is not in vain for me to be a bad person."

Only then did the third princess react, this was her father's temptation of her.

"Father, don't scare me! I thought you wanted to be the imperial husband, on this cusp, this is not a good thing, not to mention the ministers in the court, even the eldest sister and the second sister can tear you down. ”

The third princess wiped a handful of sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, and said in a low voice.

"The imperial husband and Rong Shijun left one after another, and some people hit me with their ideas, which made me very annoyed, and now that you are back, I am afraid that these people will become even worse, I am afraid that you are not firm enough, and I am also afraid that those people will calculate you, so I want to confirm your thoughts."

Now that it has been said, the virtuous servant has also put their situation on the bright side.

"I said that my father, who has always been a non-fighter and a fighter, how could he say such a thing."

The third princess patted her chest, if her father insisted on going his own way, she would be unlucky at that time.

The conversation between the father and daughter reached the ears of Ripples not long after, and the dark guard disappeared again after reporting word for word.

Ripple smiled, she had never been worried about the virtuous servant, but it was this third princess, but now it seemed that she was not very aggressive.

Since this is the case, Ripple will naturally fulfill her youngest daughter's wishes, let her be a rich idler, and live happily.

After entering the winter, the price of grain in various places has fluctuated, and there seems to be a trend of rising prices, but it is a pity that less than three days after the rise was made, the government released a batch of cheap rice and grain in the name of the empress, and posted a notice.

The notice stated that this is the empress's sympathy for the people, thinking that everyone because of the poor harvest of the disaster, half of the tax was exempted, and at the same time, a batch of cheap rice and grain was also supplied, so that the people could buy the grain, after this winter, there will be a batch of high-quality seeds in the spring, and the people are allowed to receive it on credit, and they can be returned when the autumn harvest of the next year comes.

As soon as this notice came out, the people in the city rushed to tell each other, praising the empress's kindness, so that those grain merchants who had hoarded grain and were ready to make a fortune were dumbfounded.

No one is stupid, why buy expensive food if there is a cheap one, and the grain released by the government can be bought with a family's household registration when buying, so as to avoid someone buying it repeatedly and repeatedly, they can't fish in troubled waters.

"Don't be afraid, there will always be a day when the food will run out, let's wait."

A grain merchant said without giving up.

Everyone looked at each other, and they were going to wait and see for a while.

1 day, 2 days, 3 days. It wasn't until a month later that the grain was not cut off, but the variety increased, and the grain merchants were dumbfounded, and were about to move to other cities to have a look, but unfortunately they were stopped by the people of the government before they could go out of the city gate.

"You are holding together to raise the price of grain, and if you have grain, you will not sell it to the people, you will be regarded as profiteers, for the stability of Fengqi Kingdom, we will temporarily detain you first, and we will buy your grain at a reasonable price, and then sell it to the people, the silver will not be less than yours, but you will not be welcome in Fengqi Country in the future."

The surrounding people listened to the female official's angry voice, and only then did they understand that this cart was full of grain, and these profiteers did not sell them grain in order to make money, and now they still want to pull grain to other places to raise the price of grain.

For a while, the broken stones and mud were all beckoning to these people, and if it wasn't for the officials to stop them, it is estimated that the dung and water would have been splashed over.

Then, in full view of everyone, the government weighed the grain on the spot, settled the money on the spot, and then blasted the merchants and their retinue out of the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we paid for the grain, and I advise you to take the money and leave, so as not to be targeted by those who have a heart, and the money will not be saved."

The words of the official were meaningful, which made the hearts of this group of people jump, and they immediately left the land of right and wrong.

"Humph! A bunch of idiots! ”

The official spat at the backs of the fleeing merchants.

This kind of thing is also staged in various cities, but some merchants are very aware of current affairs, and as soon as the empress's notice came out, they immediately lowered the previously inflated grain prices, although it is not parity, but it is also within the acceptance range of the people, after all, high-quality rice and grain are so high, and the people can understand.

Some merchants who have received the news a long time ago, when other grain merchants raised prices, they did not rise, they still sold at the original price, and were boycotted by all merchants, but in the end, such merchants mixed up a good reputation, although the money did not earn as much as after the price increase, but there was also a small profit.

And those who raise the price of grain are miserable, and they will lose money instead of making money, after all, in order to get as much grain as possible in their hands, they paid for nothing.

As soon as Fengqi was rectified in this way, the atmosphere of raising grain prices was severely suppressed, and another crisis was passed, and the government also took advantage of this opportunity to buy back all the grain in the hands of grain merchants, replenish the granary that was halved due to disaster relief, and also reserve grain and grass for the war in the spring of next year.

When the new emperor of Panlong Kingdom saw the merchants sent out to mess up the price of grain in Fengqi Kingdom, they all came back dejected, and he was also angry, and his face was a little hideous and blasted people out.

After the first rain of spring, Xuanwu Kingdom was the first to swing his sword and point at Panlong Kingdom, playing the banner of avenging his father.
