Time Traveling Routine Movie King

The Huang family's methods are clever, and I don't know how to understand them in detail, but many grain shops in Bianjing City have begun to cut prices, and the coolies of the boatmen at the wharf are even more interested in Mr. Wen Lan and Xu Jin, who was originally only famous among scholars. Blessed like a god.

The wealthy family who was quite dissatisfied with this went to Huang's mansion to discuss with Huang Liuqi, but was scolded by Huang Liuqi, "You want my Huang family to stand out, don't even think about it! My Huang family is not short of this money. This kind of ill-gotten wealth, if you want to make a fortune by raising the price of food, whoever you want can raise it, and when the time comes to the emperor, you can also make your name and face."

The rich man who was scolded went back with a deflated face, thinking about Huang Liuqi's words carefully, he was so frightened that he broke out in sweat.

What's more terrifying than 'have money but spend your life'!

The price increase is the same as eating, there is no need to greet, and no one is left behind.

It's the same as how to pay the bill for things like price cuts. If you don't make it clear, everyone will leave quietly after eating.

But after all, the people sitting at the same table are not dead, and it is rare to stare at the soup after everyone around them has run away.

Within ten days, the grain price in Bianjing quietly dropped, and the relevant departments of the imperial court also began to purchase cheap grain step by step.

"It's done, it seems that we need to talk to Shen Bai." Yu Wentuo said after lunch, looking at Shu Yu who was eating freely.

Shu Yu nodded and finished the last bite of the dish.

Yu Wentuo likes to eat with Shu Yu, because he has never been restrained when eating.

The previous emperors didn't say much about it, but they had a tacit understanding that they never ate extravagantly.

The first emperor alone gave a private banquet to the champion of the new department, the second place in the list, and Tan Hualang, which consisted of six dishes and a soup, and the staple food of glutinous rice was still in it, which was not as good as the food of the wealthy families.

The meals he and Shu Yu almost consisted of two meats, one vegetable and one soup.

The northern nomads laughed at the Song people because they liked to drink soup and were not strong enough, which could not convince the Song people anyway.There are even large families who treat guests with water tables. A table of soup and water is considered a kind of conditioning, and it is also the recognition and identification of good cooks by the people of the time.

It was almost noon when Shen Bai was summoned by the palace.

Starting from home, the ones who came to pick them up this time were sergeants in the new style of Imperial Army uniforms that appeared after Shu Yu became the inspector in front of the palace.

The hair-beamed hat, the purple mang dragon robe, and the wild goose feather knife around the waist, are extremely majestic.

The six-rider guard is also the standard for the royal family, and this standard is still the latest reform.

Two riders clear the way, two riders flanker, and two riders rear.

Xiao Yan accompanied him in the carriage, and the carriage also came from the palace.

The meeting place this time is the South Study Room, and this is the first time for Shen Bai to come to the South Study Room. The palace-style building, the pillars carved with red lacquer and gold, and the golden grille on the door are all the colors of the royal family to show off their wealth.

Only the four hanging long red dragon cloth curtains reveal a sacred status symbol.

The totem is a symbol of the royal family, and it is also a distinctive feature of a prosperous family.

There are so many families in the world, those who dare to set up totems have different meanings.

In the whole world, there are only two families now, one is the Yuwen family with a red background Tenglong, and the other is the Jiaolongqi family of the He family who rebelled in Qiongzhou.

There is already a difference in Qi between dragon and Jiao.

A large number of imperial guards in purple dragon robes replaced the flying dragon guards who used to hold halberds.

The flying dragon guards with long halberds guard the palace gate and the square in front of the court, which is more of a symbolic meaning.

But the bodyguards with Yanling Saber on the waist and hips are different. They are carefully selected, and their temperament is more suitable for hand-to-hand combat.

Walking to the gate of the main hall, Eunuch Wang stood in front, and on the left and right sides of the gate were waiting eunuchs.

"Mr. Shen, wait for the miscellaneous family to report." Eunuch Wang said with a whisk.

The huge palace door creaked, and the sound showed the thickness of the door panel.

Eunuch Wang came out after a while, and asked Shen Bai to go in.

Entering is an empty hall and dragon chair, the side door next to it is opposite, and a pair of young court ladies are standing at the door.

Entering from here, Emperor Yu Wentuo sat directly opposite, with a bookcase on one side and a sitting room on the other.

Kneeling to worship the emperor is not a pleasant thing for any modern person, but it reveals a ceremonial solemnity.

"Stay flat." Yu Wentuo's voice came from the front, Shen Bai stood up and looked up, but he was busy writing something with the jade tube pen.

The cursive script on the plaque of "Diligence and Thrift" is very beautiful, but the meaning and pattern of the characters are unavoidably stingy, which is not suitable for the emperor's study.

Yu Wentuo was busy with his own work and didn't speak, Shen Bai just stood there looking at him, looking around like a bored primary school student who was punished to stand still.

Such behavior is disrespectful for a courtier, but Eunuch Wang at the side did not say anything to stop him, why Shen Bai came today, only three people in the palace know, the emperor, General Shu and him.

After being busy for a while, Yu Wentuo put down his pen after finishing writing a review booklet, and looked at Shen Bai who was looking at his study.

"Seeing the difference between Zhen's study and Qingsi hall in Shen's mansion?" Yu Wentuo asked.

Shen Bai looked at him and said: "Qingsi Hall is a leisurely place, and Mo Xiangyiyi. The South Study Room is for office, and it has to maintain the air of heaven, so it is naturally different."

"So cunning, you didn't say what's the difference when you arrived?" Yu Wentuo smiled and didn't mind.

"The heights are different. It is far-fetched to compare the sun with the stars."

Yu Wentuo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I don't know, please ask the emperor to make it clear."

"How about the discussion on cheap food?" Yu Wentuo said unhurriedly, as if asking him to discuss things instead of asking.

"This matter was done by Mr. Wen Lan, the emperor might as well call him." Shen Bai pushed.

"Hmph!" Yu Wentuo chuckled: "He doesn't know Mr. Zheng's identity?"

Yu Wentuo's question made Shen Bai startled: "I really don't know."

"That's it. I still want to maintain Mr. Zheng's identity, otherwise it would be a pity to lose a playful friend in the future." Yu Wentuo picked up the fan and gently opened it, and the subtle sound of the fan was very clear: "Besides, Do you dare to say that you are not the one behind this incident, Ah Bai?"

The effect was just right, Shen Bai slightly raised his lips: "Then what reward does the emperor want to give to his younger brother?"

"Reward?" Yu Wentuo lightly asked for the fan: "For a person like you, gold and silver are not as real as the gold medal for avoiding death. If you are so noisy, it's more important to save your life, right!"

"Then I thank the Lord for your kindness." Shen Bai lifted his robe and knelt down.

The old man in the palace like Eunuch Wang was also stunned. The conversation between the emperor and Shen Bai was inconsistent, but the two had one thing in common. You are poor and I am poorer, and you depend on me even more.

But those who sit and kneel are, after all, monarchs and ministers.

"Haha, I said you are fat and still panting." Yu Wentuo put away his fan: "Get up, you have a chance to ask for a reward, if you dare to ask for the gold medal to avoid death, I dare to give it to you. Do you dare to ask for it?"

"Your brother dares, but this opportunity is only for one time. The younger brother is still entrusted by others. The only thing to do is to be loyal to others."

"Say." Yu Wentuo said with satisfaction.

"The Huang family in Bianjing has made great contributions to the country, and is willing to plead guilty for the merchants of the world to wash away the shame of He Yuantong. I hope His Majesty will allow it." Shen Bai said seriously.

"Then tell me, how do you wash it?"

"One, it is the emperor's original intention to cancel the merchants and obey the destiny. Let's start with the Huang family and set an example for the merchants in the world."

Yu Wentuo nodded: "This discussion is okay. The regional trial results are good. I do intend to issue an order to promote it. It is not difficult to give him a reputation for the Huang family."

After finishing speaking, Yu Wentuo looked at Shen Bai: "If you say one, you will get another, so let's just say it."

"Since it is an example, it must have the meaning of enlightening the world. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom. They are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. This is a pain for merchants. Since the emperor lifted the ban, it is better to give the Huang family a big favor and directly seal him as an official. So that the world can see the determination of the emperor."

"Reducing food prices is a great achievement, but it doesn't end there. If you want to be an official, what can their family do?" Yu Wentuo asked directly.

"The Huang family's business spreads across Kyushu, and it is used by the Tian family. It will definitely help in the future."

"These are nonsense. The money and food on the front line are tight, so what is the use of my promise?"

"Their family is willing to donate 100 million taels to donate frontline soldiers to defend the frontier." After Shen Bai said, he lowered his head rarely, and waited for a reply in a humble posture.

The person on the dragon chair didn't speak immediately, and it took a long time before he said: "This is selling officials and nobles."

"It's different, people don't want salary and real job, they only have a name, a reputation that shines on the lintel." Shen Bai argued.

"Bold." Yu Wentuo shouted angrily, and Shen Bai had no choice but to kneel down.

"Shen Bai, are you convicted?"

Shu Yu who was standing in the courtyard felt startled, and pricked up his ears to listen to Shen Bai's defense.

"I'm not guilty. If I'm guilty, I'm young and ignorant." Shu Yu, who was eavesdropping, almost fell down due to Shen Bai's youthful and ignorant sentence. .

"Tell me, is the amount of money he reported correct? Is there any money that you gave to me?" Yu Wentuo ignored Shen Bai, but asked the door.

Huang Liuqi, Huang Ji'an and his son rushed in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is a frank man, and he speaks the truth without any greed."

"Oh?" Yu Wentuo looked at the imperial guards who followed in: "Take out the confession that Huang Liuqi confessed earlier, and tell me the amount of money."

"One million taels." The imperial guard held up a booklet and said.

"You all get up, Ah Bai is indeed sincere." Yu Wentuo waved his hand.

Shen Bai stood up without any surprise or expression on his face: "My brother is terrified, the emperor's heart is as clear as a mirror."

Yu Wentuo also smiled like him, and enjoyed the victory of this rivalry scene very much.
