Volume 1: The Little Monk Returns to the Lay Chapter 65: I don't know if it's a coincidence......
Li Guo looked at the official who had just come in suspiciously, then at Qin Shirong's strange expression, and asked suspiciously: "It turns out that this pamphlet has not yet been approved? So, such a good disaster relief strategy was not written by Lord Shangshu?"
Qin Shirong shook his head and said: "It's really not written by me, this booklet is a gift from Master Huiren of Jinshan Temple, I originally wanted to sort out the contents of the booklet in the next two days, sort out the good ones inside, remove the unsuitable ones, and then hand it over to Master Li to implement." ”
"Haha, but that's fine, now it seems that this booklet doesn't need to be revised, so let's follow this original version...... Another day, I will also show your Majesty and hand over the pamphlet to the relevant officials for further development, and I will use this pamphlet as the first strategy for disaster relief in the future...... What does Master Li think?"
"So very good, so very good! Lord Qin......
Li Guo saw more, and he personally supervised and witnessed the entire process of the implementation of this booklet in the disaster area, which was unprecedented in the usual disaster relief process.
The first time he saw the booklet, he originally thought that there were some places in the booklet that were too fussful, but after witnessing the entire disaster relief process, he already had some experience in some things.
In fact, not only is there no fuss, but there may not be enough done in some aspects, such as the aspect of sanitation and publicity, which have been completely ignored in the previous disaster relief process, which is the key to the fact that the spread of the plague has not been effectively controlled.
"However, this pamphlet is definitely indispensable, and the person who wrote this pamphlet ...... What does Lord Qin think?...... I don't know if it's Master Huiren in the mouth of adults...... If...... Is it okay?" Li Guo said this, his eyes looked at Qin Shirong a little unnaturally, as if he was tempting: "Xia Guan thinks ...... This person may have amazing talents!"
Qin Shirong was happy when he saw it, and quipped: "Haha, Master Li, you are so careful...... Of course, I also understand that the pamphlet is a great achievement, but it was not written by Master Huiren, so it is impossible for you to find out if this person is recommended as an official......"
"This ...... But...... Who wrote this pamphlet?" asked Li Guo with still his heart on it.
"Well...... Master Huiren only picked it up on the road, but I should know who this person is by looking at his face, but I am worried that if the pamphlet is not written well, it will be implicated. Qin Shirong analyzed.
"That'...... How can I find out about this person?"
Li Guo still asked persistently.
Of course, his dedication is also something that Qin Shirong admires.
"Master Li, are you in too much of a hurry? If this person is really amazing, then he must have some concerns if he did not personally come forward to hand over this booklet...... You're digging people out like that...... That's a bit unkind......"
"But...... Such talents...... Do not enter the court as an official...... It's a shame......"
Li Guo was a little unrelenting.
This shows how much he valued the booklets.
"Alright, Master Li, this matter is over. I will also write a recital to inform Your Majesty of such great good news......"
Qin Shirong smiled before saying.
"Lord Qin, slow down, there is one more thing that Xia Guan wants to discuss with your lord......" Li Guo hurriedly said.
"Oh, what's the matter? ”
"I wonder if Lord Qin has noticed the price of food these days?" Li Guo asked cautiously, after all, he was only in charge of the frontline work of disaster relief, and these issues of food price were not his responsibility.
That's a bit too wide......
However, Qin Shirong didn't care, after all, he understood Li Guo's temperament, so he said: "The price of grain has indeed risen a lot faster recently......
"In just a few days, it has doubled...... Now it's sixty taels of silver...... Even the old man's house ...... Alas...... This ordinary big family is afraid that they will starve to death if they sell all their land!"
Li Guo said this, his eyes were already slightly red.
Qin Shirong didn't speak, and he also fell into deep thought when he heard the words.
"Your Excellency...... Although the new disaster relief strategy has achieved a lot of results, the problem of food prices is the root cause, and you should understand that the number of local victims has increased exponentially because of this problem...... That's going to kill a lot of people!...... I hope to investigate thoroughly at this time!" Li Guo said this, and suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded.
Qin Shirong naturally didn't expect Li Guo to be so excited suddenly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Guo: "Lord Li, don't be like this, I'll try my best to find out ......."
"The lower official has thanked the lord......"
............
After Li Guo left, Qin Xuanxuan said, "Dad, do you say that what Chen Daxia is doing now has anything to do with the price of grain?"
When Qin Shirong heard this, he frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and finally raised his head: "Come on, order someone to go to the market, help me make a record of all the large-scale transactions, and see who has been buying grain ......"
"Yes. ”
The subordinate answered, and went down to make arrangements.
Soon, the next person came back with the statistical data, and it didn't take too long to do this, after all, it was just an inquiry and a record.
Qin Shirong took the booklet back from the statistics, lowered his head and began to read it carefully.
What catches your eye is a staggering number of lines:
Huang family, Qingshan Gate, purchased, 600 quintals.
The Li family, Tianxuanmen, purchased, two thousand quintals.
The Fang family, the gossip faction, purchased, 10,000 quintals.
Mi family, Tiandaomen, purchased, 30,000 quintals.
......
This series of numbers made Qin Shirong's scalp tingle......
"Damn, these bastards! are still eating people! Drinking blood...... How on earth did this make such a heavy hand? Those are all living people! How can this be reasonable! How can this be reasonable......
Qin Shirong's muscles flared up, and he was so angry that he almost fainted, and his speech became a little incoherent: "Murder demon! I have to find a way to cure you...... I have to think about it...... Let me think about it......"
"Daddy...... Are you okay, this is the list of wealthy families and the amount of food donated by Chen Daxia in the past few days......" Qin Xuanxuan handed a small notebook in her hand to Qin Shirong.
Qin Shirong looked down and sighed as he watched.
The wealthy families who had bought grain were on this list, and they regularly bought double as much grain from the market......
In this way, there is a ghost in the price of grain without increasing prices......
"Xuanxuan, you...... Expected this?"
"I also inferred by chance from a monk that I have been thinking about this for the past few days...... Because there are many things that have not yet been decided, I don't dare to talk to my father......"
"A monk?"
"Well, that monk is also called Xiao Yan...... I don't know if it's a coincidence......"
