After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 179 Doctor Xue Enters the House
Before returning home, Fu Guiyun instructed Hong Qian and Huang Sheng: "General Hong, you and Huang Dianyi take people to the city to investigate and find out who is driving up the grain prices."
After returning home, she immediately called Lu Youxi to ask, "Youxi, how long can our granaries in the mansion and the city last?"
Lu Youxi roughly calculated: "The more than 100,000 dan of grain that my brother and Lu Changshi brought back earlier have already filled up the government warehouses everywhere, and we have also stored 200,000 dan of military grain in the border city. Manager You has also sent people to escort back 100,000 dan of grain."
Fu Guiyun felt warm at heart when he heard this. Lu Changshi always managed to get everything done without making a fuss, and it was hard for him not to trust him.
"In this way, as long as we ensure that Liyang City does not become chaotic, we will not be short of food."
She urged, "When General Hong comes back, you and everyone else will discuss this. Starting tomorrow, the government grain warehouse will be delivered to the rice shops at a fixed time and fixed quantity every day. We will supply it to the major rice merchants at the purchase price. However, if anyone pockets the grain for themselves and deliberately drives up the grain price, they will be severely punished."
Lu Youxi was a little worried, "Princess, our palace has purchased grain from various places this time, and it cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just to transport it. If we sell it to the rice shop like this, I'm afraid we will lose a lot of money."
"Youxi, we are not doing a small business now, we can't care about every little gain or loss."
Fu Guiyun said: "Right now, the people of Dali are unstable, and the Lu family army is facing a siege of more than 500,000 imperial troops. It is difficult to move forward. If we lose the people's support, it will be useless even if we earn more money."
At this point, she instructed: "We must not only try to suppress the price of rice, but also be prepared to accept refugees from all over the place."
The emperor is stubborn and even crazier than in his previous life. 350,000 troops from Kyoto have gathered in the southern border. Yundu City is equivalent to an empty city. It will be easier for Song Weizhao to go south.
However, he was able to come south in such a short time, which probably meant that he relied entirely on Alhe's cavalry, and did not gather a lot of Dakang volunteers for him to balance the power in the army like he did in his previous life.
In this way, he has no say and is equivalent to a puppet. Given the tyrannical nature of the Alkh people, they are bound to burn, kill and loot everywhere. If he cannot control them, many northerners will flee to the south.
Lu Youxi now admires his brother and sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart. He used to think that there was no other capable person in Jiangzuo except Lu Changshi, but now he realizes that the vision of the Crown Prince's wife is far beyond that of ordinary people.
He ordered people to stockpile food early on, so as long as there was food in the city there wouldn't be too much panic.
He accepted the order sincerely: "Don't worry, Princess, I will supervise you well."
"Good work."
After explaining the food matter, Fu Guiyun went to Changchun Palace.
When they arrived there, they saw Ye Zhan and Ye Qiong waiting outside. After asking, they learned that Doctor Xue had come to the house.
Ye Qiong now saw Fu Guiyun as a child who had made a mistake, and was very honest.
After bowing respectfully, she spoke earnestly and cautiously, "Cousin, my brother and I learned that Divine Doctor Xue had returned to Jiangzuo, so we immediately went to kidnap him and bring him to the palace."
"Kidnapped to the palace?" Fu Guiyun was stunned.
Ye Zhan covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Cousin, you don't know, Doctor Xue likes to refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Father said that we can only tie him up first and then see what's the next step."
Upon learning that it was the order from the old patriarch of the Ye family, Fu Guiyun didn't care about it anymore.
She had heard Lu Linzhi mention Doctor Xue's temper before, which was very strange.
It would take a lot of effort to deal with someone he couldn't even handle, so she was mentally prepared.
"Cousin, Qiong Er has already realized her fault for what happened at Shuhua Garden. I brought her here today to apologize to you."
Ye Zhan silently signaled to Ye Qiong, and Ye Qiong quickly knelt down and said, "I was really confused that day and almost caused a disaster. I hope my cousin will punish me."
Looking at her earnest expression, Fu Guiyun sighed helplessly.
She later heard people in Han Nianyuan mention what happened that day. She thought that the eldest daughter of the Ye family lost her marriage to Lu Linzhi and was depressed. She said some nonsense after drinking and was taken advantage of.
"Since my cousin invited Dr. Xue here, I won't bother with you about this matter."
Fu Guiyun's face was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. "But as the eldest daughter of the Ye family, you should be more cautious in your future actions. The princess's illness can't stand the stimulation. If you hope that she can live for two more years, you should learn to think twice before doing anything."
"My cousin's wife is right about that."
Ye Zhan agreed very much: "She is just stubborn and doesn't care about anything. There is no good person in Han Yi Niang's courtyard. She dares to say anything."
Ye Qiong blushed: "Brother, I really know I was wrong."
Moreover, she felt that those people were loyal to the prince after all, and even if they were scheming against each other, they would never do anything to harm the interests of the palace.
As they were talking, they saw Nanny Jiang leading two middle-aged men out.
"Father."
Ye Zhan and Ye Qiong hurriedly bowed respectfully to one of them. The man had a very elegant figure and looked somewhat like their mother-in-law. Fu Guiyun immediately guessed that this man was Ye Zhicheng, the head of the Ye family.
"Hello, uncle." Fu Guiyun hurriedly exchanged greetings with Ye Zhicheng.
Ye Zhicheng pointed at the old man in white beside him and introduced him respectfully, "Princess, this senior is the famous Doctor Xue from Jiangzuo."
The old man was thin, with long gray hair that was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, making it rather messy. He stroked his beard lightly, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Master Ye, you are overpraising me. I don't deserve such fame. I am just an ordinary person."
He glared at the Ye brothers and sisters with dissatisfaction, and said, "I'm afraid that some people no longer regard me as a human being."
"Well, that's not what the miracle doctor said."
Knowing that he was complaining about his children's previous rudeness, Ye Zhicheng covered his mouth and said, "My son and daughter are reckless, Doctor Xue, please don't take it to heart. I will definitely punish them severely."
Doctor Xue curled his lips: "Then I dare not accept it."
Fu Guiyun secretly glanced at the anxious Nanny Jiang and interrupted, "Excuse me, Doctor Xue, how is the princess's illness?"
Doctor Xue was not vague at all and said bluntly: "Princess Liyang has no auspicious appearance and will die young."
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang was immediately furious: "How outrageous."
Ye Qiong also said angrily: "We asked Dr. Xue to treat my aunt, not to tell fortunes for her."
"It seems that the people in Liyang Palace cannot bear to hear the truth." Doctor Xue's eyes became stern, and he immediately moved his steps: "Then I will take my leave."
"Wait a minute." Ye Zhicheng hurriedly stopped the man, but his tone immediately became gentle: "Since Divine Doctor Xue is here, why don't you rest for a few more days."
"I dare not bother you." Doctor Xue took a big step forward without restraint and was about to walk out.
"Doctor Xue, please have mercy on me."
Ye Qiong regretted having angered her aunt that day. She just wanted to cure her aunt as soon as possible. She chased after Doctor Xue and tried to please him: "As long as the old doctor can cure my aunt's illness, we can do anything. Not only will we apologize to you, but our Ye family is willing to give everything we have to repay the old doctor."
"Then I am even less willing to accept the title." Doctor Xue said with a cold face, showing no intention of changing his mind.
Fu Guiyun looked at him for a long time and realized that this person was indeed a guy who would not accept a toast and would drink a forfeit. He could not beg him with the normal way of thinking.
"Miss, why would you condescend to beg a charlatan?"
Fu Guiyun snorted, "What kind of miracle doctor? He is just a man seeking fame and reputation. He is not worthy of the title of miracle doctor."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
