shock!After dressing up as a vicious stepmother, I spoiled the villain

Time flies, the tail of autumn escapes too quickly, and the cold wave comes as soon as possible.

This year, the new rice seeds that Yu Wei handed over to the imperial court have not yet been planted, but there is a lot of food in her own granary.

What the people care about is nothing more than food and clothing. Once the food in Yuwei Farm is sold, although it cannot be distributed throughout the entire beam, it can be taken into account in several cities around the capital.

Of course, the main reason is the capital, because the grain output is high and the harvest is good. Even though the taste and quality of the new rice have improved by several levels, Yu Wei has no intention of raising the price.

The stove that Ah Jiu had set up earlier was ready. The new rice, which did not increase in price, was a hot fire, and Yu Wei was waiting to cook it.

Those who benefit the most are the people at the bottom and middle levels. The generals and their wives have already been praised by the public.

It’s a matter of livelihood. The court values ​​it, and the people value it equally. When new rice comes out, everyone who has eaten it says it’s good.

This also made people worry about the premium of new rice.

But the customers who came to buy rice heard the shopkeeper in the grain shop say: "Our wife said that the original intention of researching new rice is to let the people of Daliang have food to eat, so that every Daliang people can have a smile on their faces. Smile, there is rice in the bowl, and there is light in your heart.”

The customers who bought grain looked excited and longing after hearing this, and they clapped their hands and applauded. After buying the rice, they rushed to tell each other. The general's wife's kind deeds entered the hearts of every common people in the capital.

It also made her image of a goddess of selfless devotion more solid.

Later, someone asked about the rice seeds. The shopkeeper said this: "Our wife has planned this matter for a long time, but it won't happen this year. The rice seeds are dedicated to the court. Waiting for next year's autumn harvest, the farm will produce a new batch." Rice seeds, no matter who you are at that time, you can come to the grain store with your fish talisman (ID card) and buy two kilograms of rice seeds.”

As soon as the news came out, people rushed to tell each other. This was a great thing.

They didn't know whether the imperial court would distribute new rice seeds next year, and they didn't dare to expect it. At first, they only hoped that the imperial court would have enough food and the taxes on their people would be reduced.

But I didn't expect such an unexpected gain from the general's wife.

The farmers were overjoyed when they heard the news, wishing in their hearts for good weather and good weather in the coming year, and for the general's wife's farm to be fruitful.

But Yu Wei's move directly disrupted the court.

The stuff was researched by Yu Wei. She planted it in advance to confirm that there was no problem, and then handed over the seeds to the court. This was a great thing, and the court had no reason to stop Yu Wei from selling grain.

Just this price...

The imperial court originally thought that the new rice seeds must be in hand, and a batch should be planted by the imperial merchants who cooperated with the imperial court to supply military supplies and stockpile in Changpingcang.

You have food in your hands, don't panic.

This is true for the people, and so is the court.

At most, it can reduce some weight when harvesting grain, so that the people can be rich within a certain range.

But this does not include spreading the new rice seeds. First, out of wealth considerations, the new rice seeds are controlled by the imperial court. Their quality and taste are of the upper class, and the imperial court is sure to maximize the profitability of the new rice seeds.

The sale and production of new rice were left to the government and merchants, and the high tax deferrals obtained in the end were used to fill the national treasury, thus ensuring the maintenance of order and stability in the feudal dynasty.

Second, food is an important strategic material. When materials are scarce, what soldiers need when going on expeditions is the supply of food and grass. In order to prevent shrewd businessmen from taking advantage of natural disasters, the price of food varies.

Therefore, things related to people's livelihood must be in the hands of the court.

But just like the different varieties of rice, before new rice varieties were released, there were many different types of rice in Daliang. Some of the precious varieties were still in the hands of a few grain merchants, in addition to being presented as tribute to the royal family.

Therefore, the imperial court turned a blind eye to Wei's granary.

But who would have known that the general's wife, as a businessman, could be so indifferent, and even hurriedly set the price of grain before the court, and even promised rice seeds.

The imperial court believes that there are some things that don’t need to be said. Everyone is smart, and you should consider the next step when doing things in Tianjia.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wei was caught off guard. This was a perfect loophole, and Yu Wei could fool him by pretending to be dumbfounded.

Now she is the second-grade imperial concubine, and she is also the concubine conferred by His Majesty. Even though His Majesty regrets it, and even though the princes are dissatisfied, who dares to do anything to her openly?

As for secretly, she was not a member of the court, not to mention that the emperor still expected her to give him some other achievements.

In just one year, from printing to new rice seeds, I heard that Yu Wei also made sewing machines. The emperor is currently very interested in her clever little head.

As for Wen Dongqing, who had been entrusted by the emperor and the princes, to come to the door, Yu Wei still looked fearless.

Wen Dongqing sighed: "Madam is not a stupid and impulsive person. Are you angry with Your Majesty by doing this?"

Wen Dongqing knew all the twists and turns between Yu Wei and the emperor. He was also a smart man. He understood the intention of the general's wife after only a brief thought.

It has to be said that the general's wife is still as bold as ever, and Wen Dongqing is actually quite afraid of being associated with such people.

Yu Wei blinked, with a hurt look on his face: "Master Wen, how can you say that! I originally set my heart on the moon, but it's really because I don't want to see the hungry and cold people suffer anymore."

Wen Dongqing twitched the corner of his mouth. Obviously, it was possible to fool an ignorant intellectual with these words, but it was not possible to fool him as a politician.

But Yu Wei ignored him and continued to act until Wen Dongqing was embarrassed.

After only three rounds, Wen Dongqing was embarrassed, which made Yu Wei, who was just addicted to acting, find it boring.

"Now that your matter has hindered the imperial court, what are you going to do about it?"

Yu Wei spread his hands: "What can I do? I'm just a woman. I can't carry it on my shoulders and lift it with my hands. I haven't read many books, so I don't know what to do."

Wen Dongqing didn't believe a word of what she said: "What the court means is that this matter started with you and it should end with you. It's just this year. Next year, not even one out of ten of your new rice seeds will be left, or there will be a natural disaster." Or it is a man-made disaster, you can weigh it yourself, and the court will compensate you accordingly for your losses in the coming year."

This was the court's intention, not his. He was just conveying it on his behalf.

Yu smiled. Although she knew that Wen Dongqing's position in this matter was only a dime in nine years, she still couldn't help but spread the flames of war to Master Wen.

"You literary men, all of you, have such big faces."

Wen Dongqing was also scolded by these words, and because he was not wrong, he was very embarrassed and remained silent.

Yu Wei continued: "There is a saying in the play, "Most of the people who are heartbroken are scholars." I think this sentence describes the group of people in reckless clothes just right. This heartbreak is not only for women, but also for the common people. They have completely failed the people, the heaven above and the earth below, as well as the great aspirations they made when they were young."
