Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

The drought continued and the disaster intensified.

The terrible thing is that there is also a drought in the Gyeonggi area.

Since the beginning of spring, it has rained three times.

The water level of the river bed dropped significantly.

In severe cases, even the water level of wells will drop accordingly.

Sweet potatoes are widely planted in various places this year.

Sweet potatoes are drought tolerant.

In other words, the price of rice noodles will continue to rise, rising to a jaw-dropping level.

The price limit of the imperial court can be controlled for a while but not for one year, two years, or three years.

In the past, people who craved refined rice noodles had switched to eating half refined rice noodles and half brown rice rough noodles when the drought first appeared.

When news came from the south that the disaster was intensifying and the rebels were rampant, they didn't even eat polished rice and noodles, and ate brown rice and rough noodles instead.

All the polished rice and noodles are saved up as food reserves.

There are many people who do this.

In Xinmin County, the busiest place is no longer Wenqing Bookstore, nor a butcher shop, but a grain and oil shop.

Every day, every grain and oil store is crowded with people.

Regardless of whether there is any food in the family, they will be crowded to the grain and oil shop to buy food***** rice noodles are out of stock, and only brown rice and rough noodles are left. Those who want to buy line up and don’t crowd. Anyone who disrupts the order will be driven out, and the store will not entertain them.

A frame of brown rice noodles was placed at the door of the grain store.

Limit five catties per person.

Everyone has a grain and oil book in their hands.

Buy today's five catties, the grain and oil book will be stamped with a big red seal of the grain shop.

With this seal, it means that today's copy has been bought. Holding a notebook, I couldn't buy a grain of grain at any grain and oil store in the capital.

This is the purchase limit in Beijing.

The household department refers to the method of managing refugees from the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and distributes a small book to each family, registering the population of each family and the amount of rations needed.

People affectionately call small books grain books.

Since the grain was born,

It has become the most precious item in Xiaomin's home, even more important than money.

Because they are rich now, if they don't have food, they can't buy a grain of grain in any grain and oil shop in the capital.

As for those outsiders who rented in the capital, such as students studying, they were registered uniformly by the government, and everyone also received a grain book.

It's just that the color of the grain book is different from the local household registration.

Who doesn't have to worry about food these days?

Students of Shanhe Academy don't have to worry about food.

When everyone in the capital is worried about food, the students of Shanhe Academy can eat with their stomachs open.

Three meals a day. Breakfast fried dough sticks, steamed buns with soy milk.

For lunch and dinner, each person is given two dishes and one soup, and the rice can be full.

Wealthy families, high-ranking officials and dignitaries naturally don't have to worry about food.

But the imperial court was worried about their hoarding of food, and had been strictly guarding against it.

Want to buy food, okay!

Shaofu sold it to you.

Hugh has to go to the grain and oil shop to grab grain with the little people.

The major wine shops and restaurants were severely impacted, and their business plummeted.

The bosses were all frowning.

No business, but also to pay the rent, can you not worry about it?

Such a high-pressure and strict policy made everyone in the capital worry about food.

The students who live in Xinmin County are more eager to be admitted to Shanhe Academy, so that they can eat with open stomachs every day.

It's really miserable to not have enough to eat, but also to study hard.

Shanhe Academy, Shanhe Academy, why is it so difficult for you to take the exam!

The learning atmosphere in Xinmin County is at an all-time high.

With the shortage of food, several girls' schools, Xinmin County Junior School, unexpectedly ushered in a small peak of application.

Just because the school solves the brunch.

If you can be admitted to the women's intermediate school, not only three meals a day, but also free accommodation. After learning the skills, they can work for rich families to earn money.

Some people have long been eyeing the girls' school in Xinmin County, but during the famine years, various plans had to be postponed.

Food, food, where to get food.

From south to north, there is either drought or flood.

This year's summer grain can hardly be counted on, because the summer grain production has been severely reduced from south to north.

The whole court suddenly discovered that the food in Da Zhou was so little.

The north and south suffered disasters at the same time, and Jiangnan took the fields to plant mulberry leaves. The food crisis broke out suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard.

How to do?

Disaster victims are waiting for life-saving food.

Border officers and soldiers are also waiting for food.

People everywhere are also looking forward to food.

People all over the world are looking forward to food.

Where does food come from?

If the food problem is not resolved, the rebels will ignite again after they are extinguished.

At that time, officials will be killed and rebels will come one after another, the gourd will be pressed and the gourd will float, and the great Zhou will be in danger.

There is food in the south of the Yangtze River!

Someone stood up, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Emperor Wende's eyes were fiery, Is there really food in the south of the Yangtze River?

There is food! There are thousands of miles of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River. There are countless big landlords and farms. There are countless grains there.

The courtiers are angry!

Dare to take the landlord's surplus food!

This is copying one's own bottom line!

In the court, which family is not a big landlord? Which family is not full of grain?

But who offered to donate food?

absurd!

presumptuous!

How is this different from a rebel?

Could it be that you want to do something like a robber?

The courtiers scolded one after another, wishing to tear up the person who pierced the window paper.

Where did the mallet come from? Will it be an official?

If you talk nonsense in the court, believe it or not, you will be dismissed after you go down.

My lords, why should you panic? The officials said that there is grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but they didn't say anything about robbers. The imperial court can buy grain from those big landlords and send it to the disaster area. Jiangnan is quite close to the disaster area, which is a saving. The loss on the road is covered! Maybe there is still some food left over to send to the capital.

Not a bad idea.

The courtiers stroked their beards and nodded secretly.

The imperial court pays for food, yes! It happened to be a blow to the imperial court's household department.

The money of the imperial court is not earned for nothing.

Humph!

Mr. Zhao, Shangshu of the Household Department, came out and said, Your Majesty, it is feasible to go south to buy grain. I am afraid that someone will sit on the ground and raise the price. The food looks ugly and they will take advantage of the court. Is it true that the court's money is blown down by strong winds? Such shameless people, really Disgusting.

After finishing speaking, his eyes swept over the Jiangnan officials one by one.

The officials of the Jiangnan department quit, rolled up their sleeves and ended up tearing them apart.

Old dog Zhao, who are you scolding?

Are the officials of your Hedong faction good things?

Relying on mineral resources, there is no shortage of things to do to raise prices on the ground. The brass used to cast private money mainly comes from the east of the river.

There are many things like privately opening silver mines, gold mines, and iron mines.

What's the matter?

Are you allowed to make money in Hedong, but not in Jiangnan?

Does the landlord in the south of the Yangtze River eat your food or drink your water?

Too much!

People on both sides argued endlessly.

Officials from Hexi, Huaibei, Southwest, Northwest, and Lingnan all chose to stand aside and join the war of violence.

Smelly shoes and socks flew around, and clothes and hats fell to the ground.

On the Golden Luan Hall, the stench is unbearable.

The imperial court turned into a vegetable market in an instant.

Even the aunt in the vegetable market can't compare.

Silence! Silence!

absurd!

Emperor Wende directly smashed the teacup, snatched the static whip from the hand of the big Han general, and swung it heavily.

Snapped!

With the sound of the static whip, the court hall was instantly quiet.

clap clap...

There were three more static whips, and the hearts of the courtiers trembled.

Damn, His Majesty is angry!

Keep arguing! Why don't you stop arguing? When I'm a clay sculpture of a Bodhisattva, is sitting here just for display?

Emperor Wende picked up the inkstone and smashed it heavily on the shiny ground.

There was a loud noise, and many middle- and lower-level officials were so frightened that their legs became weak.

As for those court chiefs, they are all as immovable as a mountain.

Whether it's a quarrel or Emperor Wende's anger, they can't shake them at all.

Your Majesty, I think that the person who goes south to buy grain is the most important. This person must not only have the ability to buy grain from the big landlords, but also have the prestige to kill those who store up grain and make money for the disaster. What do they know? It is the majesty of the court.

It is Mr. Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs again.

All the court chiefs nodded in agreement.

Master Zhao is right. The court is so difficult, some people only think about collecting food and making a fortune, and have no mercy at all, damn it!

I want to buy grain and demonstrate the authority of the court. The person who goes south to buy grain must not only have a high enough status, but also kill decisively when necessary, and make an example! Dare to think and dare to do it! Such a person, it is difficult!

Emperor Wende asked sharply: Going south to buy grain, who can share my worries for you dear ones?

I am willing to share your majesty's worries, but I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress the local wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. If you can't lower the price, you will let the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River take advantage of the opportunity to get rich and laugh at the incompetence of the court! If you can't share your majesty's worries, you will be punished with death!

Some people are very clever, and they are the first to stand up and say that they are incompetent.

Nima!

Going south to buy grain, but also suppressing the price of grain, this is really a terrible job!

Not to mention offending people, maybe people's heads will fall to the ground.

Officials from Jiangnan are not good at stubble.

These people form cliques to suppress dissidents, but they are proficient and sophisticated.

If you have small arms and legs, don't be a big deal.

He took the initiative to admit that he was incompetent. Although his face was damaged, his official position and future were preserved anyway.

Immediately afterwards, several officials stepped forward, claiming that they were incompetent and could not share His Majesty's worries.

enough!

Emperor Wende was furious, The imperial court wasted money and food, and raised you trash. When fighting for power and profit, everyone was very active. Now it's my turn to share my worries, and everyone has become a coward. Since you are incompetent , then get out, don't occupy the latrine and don't shit. Come, take off their official uniforms, take off their official hats, and throw them out!

The ministers were shocked and turned pale, and pleaded for mercy.

Emperor Wende was determined to kill the arrogance of the courtiers by means of a thunderbolt, Whoever dares to intercede will be like the few of them, take off his official hat, take off his official uniform and get out. The imperial court does not keep corpses and wastes for vegetarian meals!

As soon as the words fell, no one stood up to intercede.

Affection is important, official hat is more important.

The big Han general rushed in, took off the official uniforms and hats of several officials who thought they were smart, and dragged them all out.

Several officials are stupid!

How could His Majesty not play the cards according to the rules!

Your Majesty, I have been wronged!

What a ghost!

One person in the court counts as one, and they are all pulled out and chopped down, so that no one will be wronged.

Emperor Wende's anger could not be dispelled, and he asked sharply: Going south to buy grain, which love minister can relieve my worries?

Your Majesty, those who go south to buy grain should neither be involved with the powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River, but also be familiar with the intertwined relationships in the south of the Yangtze River. They must also have a high enough status and strong enough methods. Such a person is difficult Find it!

Mr. Li's words in Zhongshu Ling pointed out the difficulty in this.

All the ministers agreed one after another!

Yes, such a person is hard to find!

You can't be involved with Jiangnan, you have to be familiar with Jiangnan, you have to have a high enough status, and you have to use ruthless methods. Where can you find such a person.

The Shaofu family order stroked his beard, I think of such a person, the old minister.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the aloof Emperor Wende.

The Shaofu's family is very thieves, they didn't mention their names, but they already specified everything.

Immediately, Emperor Wende thought of something with the Shaofu Jialing.

There is indeed such a person in the court who meets all the conditions.

If he went south to buy grain, there was a high probability that he would be able to buy grain at a relatively favorable price from the big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River.

But Emperor Wende frowned.

Because the only person who meets the conditions is Liu Zhao.

He has a high enough status, strong enough methods, and enough understanding of Jiangnan, but he has nothing to do with the wealthy families in Jiangnan.

Emperor Wende asked, Are there any other candidates?

The Shaofu family order shook his head slightly, The old minister is dull, and can't think of another person.

At this time, another person stood up and said, Your Majesty, it is better to send the second prince to go south to buy grain. The second prince has also been to Jiangnan, and he knows enough about the place in the south of the Yangtze River, and his status is valuable. The second prince will definitely be able to buy food in time when he goes south.

Emperor Wende frowned, and couldn't help but look at the second prince Liu Ping who had been silent.

The second prince, Liu Ping, came out, bowed and said: My son is willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River to share the worries of the father and the court!

Shaofu's family orders to watch from the sidelines.

Zhongshu ordered Mr. Li to wait and see what happened.

Mr. Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up anxiously and asked, May I ask, Your Highness, how much money do you plan to spend and how much grain do you plan to buy? How to solve the transportation? How many people do you need to bring south? Do you have a goal? Where do you plan to buy grain? You can't go there. Go to the grain store in the market to buy grain.

A large amount of grain is not in the grain shop, but in the warehouse of the landlord's house.

A series of questions stunned everyone.
