The grain that was sealed was transported away overnight, and now the people of the whole city understood that the king of Shuobei was punishing these profiteers who took the opportunity to raise the price of grain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For a while, the people applauded, but the gate lord clan was shocked.

Even if the grain shop is a profiteer or a scholar who is not enough, the king of Shuobei is already touching the interests of the family.

In Lu Chu's opinion, fortunately, Su Musha was quite restrained and did not touch Wuyi Lane at all. Otherwise, it is to pry the foundation of the entire Southern Dynasty, which will inevitably break the balance between the royal power and the family.

Overnight, above the temple, the officials were thinking about the deep meaning behind King Shuobei's move.

Officials who were related to the sealed grain shop or who were deeply afraid that King Shuobei's next move would hurt their own interests were also ready to sue King Shuobei for bending the law for personal gain at the early court meeting.

Only Lu Bai and Sun Weisi were as unmoving, allowing officials from all sides to visit, lobby, and probe the wind, but the head of the family just didn't speak, nodded or shook his head.

The next day, the three more chickens crowed, the morning light was faint, and the sun was revealed.

Unprecedentedly, Su Musha, who was so lazy that he rarely appeared in the early court deliberations, waited in the hall early.

He wore a black strong suit, embroidered with python patterns with silver thread, and the workmanship was exquisite, without a trace of roughness. The gold wire trim outlines the perfect line.

When Su Mucheng and Madame Bai finished freshening up and turned out of the apse, they saw Su Musha couldn't help but pinch a piece of pastry and stuff it into his mouth. Seeing them come out, Su Mu hurriedly wiped his hands and said, "Brother Wang has seen Brother Wang and sister-in-law. ”

Su Mucheng waved his hand, sat down with him, and said, "If you are so diligent on weekdays, you can help me share a lot of things, and I can be much easier." ”

Su Musha took a sip of soup and said: "The intrigue in the temple, the younger brother really can't do it, and the refugee matter has already made the younger brother scratch his ears and cheeks." ”

"Mo Ziqian, you have a very good idea about refugees. Su Mucheng waved his hand and said: "The relationship between the Southern and Korean dynasties is complicated, and if it is up to me to do it, it will be difficult to balance the relationship between them." ”

After breakfast, Su Musha and the king appeared on the Taiji Hall together.

When the imperial historian was full of energy to participate in the Su Mu Sha, Wang Shanghu threw out the matter of "borrowing grain from the scholars" proposed by the king of Shuobei, which won the approval of the four major families of Lu Bai and Sun Wei, and also the ministers of the pillars of the dynasty.

In Su Musha's view, the matter of giving relief to the victims is really not complicated, since the scholars and grain merchants are seeking profits, it is to give it to him. Although the Southern Dynasty was first established, there was a shortage of money and silver, but with the royal credit as a guarantee, it was always possible to borrow debts. This move also gave Su Musha and the Shi clan room for bargaining, and if the Shi clan lent the royal family twice the price of grain, it would inevitably be too inconvenient to take the Langya Su family in their eyes.

Above the temple are mostly people who understand. In their minds, the king of Shuobei is only now throwing out the matter of "borrowing grain" through the mouth of the king, it is precisely because he knows the nature of the merchant to pursue profits, if it is not so, how can he raise millions of stone of grain from all over the city in the capital in a short period of time without spending a single soldier?

The only sacrifices may be those who have been sealed up and the insignificant families.

Some people know that the grain shops behind Wuyi Lane have not moved a bit, but they don't know that the people who were sealed are all grain merchants who sold grain at a high price and the palace.

Of course, Su Musha or the king did not necessarily take this opportunity to knock on the scholars: the game of power can only be played by the powerful.

In this operation, King Shuobei gained fame and fortune, and it is ridiculous that some people still wanted to see him embarrassed before the early dynasty.

When the officials of the Manchu Dynasty raised their eyes and looked at King Shuobei, who was standing quietly behind the king and wearing a python pattern, there was no meaning of underestimation in his eyes.

While the officials were thinking about it like this, the imperial doctor did not forget the grain merchants who were still under the cover of Su Mu.

He stood up with a wat board and said, "Your Majesty, the king of Shuobei did not hesitate to borrow grain to help the victims, which is admirable. But personal enmity is not as good as the public, ten businessmen who had sold grain at a high price and the prince were imprisoned by the prince on trumped-up charges yesterday, and the grain was also transported away by the prince. ”

Su Musha was standing behind the king in a bored manner, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't know what to think about, and the maid gently pulled his sleeve behind him, and he came back to his senses.

Looking up and seeing Su Mucheng's eyes, Su Musha smiled embarrassedly and said to the imperial doctor: "Doctor, forgive me, this king's injury has just healed, and he is inevitably tired." ”

The Imperial Doctor repeated his previous words.

"The Imperial Doctor is bad. Su Mu said with a straight face: "How can this king bend the law for personal gain? They are willing to sell grain and help the victims with this king, and it is too late for this king to be grateful." ”

"In fact, the assassin who assassinated the king that day sneaked into the palace with the invitation of the owner of the Wanli grain shop, after the assassination of the king, the owner of the Wanli grain shop gathered with other arrested grain merchants overnight, as the master of the Thousand Buddha Hall, the king had to investigate. ”

"There is no basis for what he says, does the prince have real evidence?" asked the Imperial Doctor casually.

"Absolutely. ”

Su Musha's very affirmative tone frightened many people, and there was a commotion in the Taiji Palace, and the wat board in the hand of the imperial doctor almost fell to the ground.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Junzhong was assassinated, which made the current king very angry, and the guards, officials, and generals in the barracks who had a little to do with the protection duty were all beheaded.

At that time, it was difficult to count the people who were beheaded outside the palace gate, and the Qinhuai River was almost dyed blood-colored after the rain.

The tragedy of the past is still vivid, and if the king of Shuobei really has evidence this time, people who have a little to do with grain merchants will inevitably follow and eat melons.

"However, the king cannot tell you, lest you be alarmed. Su Mu said, "This king promises that if they really have nothing to do with the Shadow Hall, they will be allowed to go back." ”

Seeing Su Musha's tone change, the imperial doctor felt that there was something strange in it, and was about to say it again, but he was prevaricated by Wang Shanggu left and right. The other ministers didn't echo him, it was really the king of Shuobei who was taken advantage of by these grain merchants, and it would be a little unbeautiful if he didn't let him find some yards and turn around and sprinkle his anger on himself.

This is the end of the relief for the victims.

Although the purpose was not good, the gate lord clan was confused and became a virtuous minister, dutiful, and worked hard to raise the surplus grain of Jiangzuo's rich land to the capital.

Wang Shang and King Shuobei wasted some money, but solved the refugee problem.

As for the debt, it is the northern disaster victims who are giving relief, and there is absolutely no reason for the court to borrow debts, and it is the king of Shuobei who owes the debt, and he will pay it back slowly when the time comes.

In the early dynasties, the entire Jiankang City was still permeated with the depression of "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy the city", but after the early dynasty, it disappeared. It is rumored that the king of Shuobei has borrowed money from the scholars to buy grain, and to provide relief to the victims at a flat grain price.

Just when the people were skeptical, the price of grain in the entire capital soon dropped, which just confirmed the rumors and made the people sigh that the prince was virtuous.

However, just when the refugees thought that the king of Shuobei would open a warehouse to release grain for the relief of the victims, the Beifu army suddenly posted a notice: the brave soldiers among the refugees could be conscripted into the Beifu; those who did not want to join the army would be built outside the southern fence of the capital to reclaim wasteland, and the refugees except the young and the old and the weak needed to work for relief in order to receive food.

Shuobei Wangfuzhong, back garden.

"Lord Wang, this move is wonderful. Sun Changgong said to Su Mu.

"The so-called sign is nothing more than a breath. Su Musha smiled bitterly and said, "If the price of food continues to rise, it will not be beneficial to anyone. Today, it is all the result of a compromise between the temple and the family. ”

"The real ones who turn the tide are the ministers who approve of it at the court, and they are the real vested interests, including your father. Su Musha sighed.
