"Profiteer——!"

"Profiteer——!"

A louder and more angry roar rang out at the door of Mipu, and some excited people rushed towards the shopkeeper and Hu Xingzhou.

Those who robbed rice grabbed rice, and those who beat others beat others. Hu Xingzhou was surrounded by a large group of people. The shopkeeper wanted to protect him, but he couldn't even protect himself. The dozens of waiters in the rice shop were not at all the hundreds of excited people. The opponent of the common people can only be beaten for a while!

On the second floor of a building not far from Mipu, Qin Qingke and Qin Maixin stood there, watching the riot outside Mipu.

"Brother, how long can Hu Xingzhou last?"

"In less than two days, we have purchased all the grain from various places, and the people Bai Shitong is looking for have also started to cause trouble in various rice shops."

"In three days, our rice shop will open!"

Qin Maixin originally planned to wait for Hu Xingzhou to be in a worse situation, but the people of Sima Kingdom could not wait.

She had originally found a lot of shops in various places, originally planning to use them to open ready-made clothing stores, but after careful consideration, it was best to use these shops to open rice shops first, so that no one would notice.

The masses are often blind and cynical. Hu Xingzhou was beaten half to death this time, but it was Jing Zhaoyin who got the news and came with officers and soldiers to maintain order, which saved their lives.

Hu Xingzhou was sent back to his home, but this was just the beginning. In the next two days, he would receive news every day that the rice shop was besieged and robbed. Many clerks and shopkeepers were beaten, and the most serious case was even the shop owner. It was burned by fire.

For a time, the entire Sima Kingdom was scolding him. After all, Hu Xingzhou was pursuing a monopoly, and the people allowed him to monopolize it.

He is allowed to make money, but he also has the obligation to maintain the stability of the entire industry. If he cannot do it, it will be a matter of time before he is hated by the people.

When Hu Xingzhou heard the news, he couldn't take a breath, vomited a mouthful of blood, and completely fainted.

Seeing Hu Xingzhou fainting, Zeng Ruoxin became nervous. What she was nervous about was Hu Xingzhou's property. If Hu Xingzhou had no money and was still angry to death, what would she have left?

There is only one position left for the Crown Princess. No, maybe even the position of the Crown Princess cannot be saved. After all, Hu Xingzhou has other brothers. Even if those people are concubines, someone must inherit the throne.

The matter was so big that Sima Linghao went to the palace in person and visited Hu Xingzhou. When he saw that Hu Xingzhou was dying of illness, his heart sank completely. If he had known that this man was so useless, he would not have wasted it. He was so kind!

The whole country was in chaos. The emperor had naturally received the news a long time ago. He had given Qin Maixin the rights, but Qin Maixin didn't take action. Naturally, he felt unhappy and sent Qin Maixin directly into the palace.

Originally, the initiative in this matter was in Qin Maixin's hands. In this case, it was definitely best to negotiate terms with the emperor. However, it was Di Chengjie who gave Hu Xingzhou food, which caused her to negotiate with him in advance. The emperor made a deal, which made her become passive.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little more disgusted with Di Chengjie.

However, being passive was passive, and Qin Maixin still did not suffer a loss. The emperor did not know about her buying the shop, and she immediately found an excuse for herself on the grounds that she did not have a shop, and she hoped and was embarrassed.

With the emperor.

The emperor could not see Qin Maixin's little thoughts, but this was not the time to care. With a stroke of a pen, several of the largest and best-located shops in more than a dozen cities were assigned to Qin Maixin's name. , let Qin Maixin open the business immediately and start selling grain.

As for the grain that had been included in his treasury, at Qin Maixin's request, he had to reluctantly cut off [-]% of it and handed it over to Qin Maixin for disposal.

As soon as Qin Maixin took the emperor's edict and left the palace, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it out via flying pigeons.

When food was most scarce, at least seven cities and a new rice shop opened at the same time in one day.

Moreover, the price of rice was the same as before the famine. The shopkeepers announced that there was a lot of food, and the people did not have to worry about not being able to buy it, not having enough to eat, or starving to death. They were allowed to buy as much as they wanted.

For a time, people all over the country were excited, grateful, and happy. Winter is coming soon, and nothing is more important than food. If there is no food, how many people across the country will starve to death.

Soon, under the joint control of Qin Maixin and Bestong, the news spread throughout the country. The people felt at ease, knowing that a new rice shop would soon open, and soon I bought enough food for the winter.

In just half a month, the depression of Hu’s Rice Shop was in stark contrast to the bustle of the newly opened Yun’s Rice Shop.

Hu Xingzhou finally regained his breath. After hearing the news, he was so angry that he couldn't even get sick, and he could only breathe.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of January of the following year. After more than a month of stabilizing people's hearts, Sima Kingdom had recovered.

The original peace and tranquility.

For more than two months, Qin Maixin did not stay in the capital. She almost shuttled around the major cities. After all, it was a natural disaster. Only some of the people who could afford rice were only part of the people. There were also a large number of refugees and disaster victims. There are some poor people who cannot afford rice.

Fortunately, she has developed a lot of power over the years, and Know-How's power as a beggar in various places has also reached a certain level.

Coupled with the fact that the emperor gave her the status of an imperial envoy, she started doing things with twice the result with half the effort. She built a disaster area, distributed rice porridge, distributed clothes from Tangxinfang, and had a lot of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.

Qin Maixin didn't give the clothes in vain. After all, she didn't have much money anymore. She had the three characters "Tangxinfang" printed on those clothes, just as a free advertisement for her clothing store.

Beggars' dens in various places have taken in many homeless old, weak, women and children. These people were assigned to their respective positions according to their respective abilities by the dozen or so brothers under Know-All.

The power of beggars is gradually increasing, and the population is increasing day by day. Qin Maixin has not yet thought about how much power and shock these people will bring to her.

Yuan Huaixiu has been released from the prison, and the dignified prime minister has been imprisoned in the prison and demoted. This makes him angry and angry, but what can he do?

Nowadays, Qin Maixin is a famous person around the emperor. If others don't know who the imperial envoy sent by the emperor is, how can he not know?

Qin Maixin always goes out with a veil. No one has seen her face or knows her true identity. But even so, she has become the savior in the eyes of the people.

, it seems that as long as she arrives, they can see the hope of life.
