According to the stubs sent from various places, this year’s new grain is enough for Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road, and Jiangnan West Road for a year. These three places have half the population of the empire. In addition, Jiangnan has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. This year, not only the north has a bumper harvest. , the south is also a good harvest year.This batch of food is really not a small amount.

Situ Yue was so worried that he didn't dare to close his eyes for four days and three nights. It was impossible to find this batch of food without any movement. The people from the Ministry of Punishment hadn't arrived yet, so Situ Yue had no choice but to let the imperial merchants from the Jiangnan area gather together with Jinling Da Yongzhou, which is three hundred miles away, is the location of Jiangnan Dacang.

Situ Yue's request is very simple, let the imperial merchants visit, all grain and oil merchants, since the beginning of spring this year, which big family in the location has not bought or sold grain, and if they have bought or sold, the amount will be reported by flying horse within three days. Fact, at your own risk.

Situ Yue's idea was very simple, to let all merchants pay attention, recently, on the commercial roads, if anyone transported grain or the rut marks were obviously different, they had to report it. Anyone who came to report, regardless of whether it was true or false, would be exempted from tax for one year. .

Because the hidden guards were also investigating this matter, Situ Yue didn't dare to let Qin Er and the others go out. Once the two sides were dispatched to fight, Fang Yun would definitely give up the food search and find out who kept such a shadow guard.Situ Yue had to be careful.

At night, when the summer stars fell all over the sky, Situ Yue asked Cheng Ju to hold a lantern and walked into one of the warehouses.At the beginning of the establishment of the Zhili Dacang in the north, a large pit was dug on the ground. The pit was at least six feet deep, and a thick layer of lime was laid on the ground. The lime was three feet thick, and then bricks were used to build it. Each one is about the size of a palm, placed squarely, and mixed with special soil. In the early stage, the soil was mixed with clear water to form a thin mud to build a brick wall. This kind of wall must be covered from top to bottom, left and right, and a spiral staircase is built to lead to the bottom. Water it with glutinous rice juice when it is half dry, and insert it into the gap with a very thin blade after it is dry. If it can be inserted, pour a layer of glutinous rice juice until the blade cannot be inserted.In addition to the inspection and self-inspection rules before the grain is put into storage, it is necessary to spread the dry wheat straw of the new year's wheat on the bottom one foot thick, put an oilcloth on it, and pour the grain on the oilcloth until the new grain covers the stairs and is flush with the ground , this is a warehouse.

The north is dry, and it is not afraid of humidity to put it in the ground to dry regularly. This cannot be done in the south. In the south, a huge urn is used, and then sorghum poles are used to become a fence and stuck on the urn. The grain is poured from above. Urns, but from the appearance, the scale of the warehouses in Zhili is far smaller than those in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Zhili has the most grain storage.

Situ Yue walked back and forth between the big urns, and the guards outside lit torches to drive the officials from Jiangnan Dacang to work. Up to now, no one has secretly reported this matter, Situ Yue was a little worried.When this kind of thing happens, either everyone is not clean, and with the mentality that the law does not blame the public, those officials have nothing to fear.Or there are some things that even he, the King of Rong, may not be able to control. If it is the latter, the matter is much more serious.Thinking of the many armors hidden in the secret room under the ancestral hall in Ningguo Mansion, Situ Yue took a deep breath. If this was the case, then she would not be afraid to fight with a gun on her horse.

Situ Yue went out of the barn, sat on a chair outside, leaned against the back of the chair, stared at these people with inexplicable expressions, a few days had passed, people in Jiangnan were in panic, and no substantial progress was made. , People will become more and more impetuous.

It seems that this group of people has to suffer a little bit, three meals a day will be replaced by two meals, and the food for each meal will be halved. Anyway, no one can eat food if they can't find it.

Eating... Situ Yue called a family member who was standing aside, "Let you keep an eye on these officials' homes every day. How do they eat these days? Are there any elderly people at home? There are always people It's a filial son, whose family's old man is hungry and fainted?"

"My lord, no one fainted from starvation."

"No one, this king said, no one is allowed...do they have food at home?"

"Yes, even if there is no food, you can eat porridge every day, and you can also eat pickled vegetables."

"So that's the case, hum. When the imperial merchants send the news, immediately bring it to the king." Situ Yue stood up, and asked the guards to drive the officials who were still working over and said to them, "There is no one in the ten-year cold window." Ask, become famous all over the world in one fell swoop. Among you tonight, there is that well-learned scholar who studied hard in a poor window, and there is that market husband with an old mother and a wife and children. Now, someone has told this king that you have neglected your duties and secretly embezzled some of them. This year's food, no matter whether it is to raise money or to deal with Shangguan, but this king already knows about it, and now, the big warehouse will be cleaned up after half a day. This king gave you a chance, and you don't want to look for this king Having said that, this king will not say much, tomorrow, everyone will be sent to Yinchang, and one meal a day will let everyone know what it is like to be hungry. As for your family members, this king will greet them. "

Afterwards, they were driven back to continue working. At daybreak, they had to rush to the nearest Yinchang, and the guards of Rongjun Palace were in charge of escorting them.

Situ Yue said to the family member who answered just now, "You ask the brothers to come forward and secretly ask them for money, and then say that you can send them a message or send a message. If they give something to the brothers, let the brothers pick it up. If you don’t work for money, don’t ruin the bottom line. Also, even those who commit suicide should be stopped. If they have that idea, they will be given a meal of porridge a day, so that people don’t die, just starve.”

In the early morning of the next day, the guards were divided into two groups, one part was stationed in Dacang and the other rode horses to tie the hands of the officials in one place, strung them into a string and escorted them to Yinchang in the southwest.Some people cried and cried when they were taken away, which made the guards impatient, so they whipped a few horsewhips to finish.

Situ Yue's mouth was already bubbling, and he was in a hurry to get angry.In the previous life, there was some chicken soup saying that if you want to hide a drop of water, you have to put it in the sea.But Jiangnan is only so big, where is the sea where this drop of water is hidden.

The whole Jiangnan is secretly discussing this matter. On the Qinhuai River, there is no shortage of light boats and boats day and night. There are singers and dancers who live by the Qinhuai River. Except for the day when the emperor comes to avoid the river, the Qinhuai River sings and dances every day. The slick people in the market only care about having fun, and don't mention the Dacang case at all, but some scholars gather at the Qinhuai River every day, drinking some rice wine, and always want to vent their depression.

When Situ Yue was desperately looking for food, the nobles who accompanied the emperor on his southern tour all ran to the Qinhuai River for fun. Two of them were the sons of the princess. Sitting on the bow, drinking and listening to music is so uncomfortable.It made the scholars on a nearby ship furious, stood at the bow of the ship, pointed at them and cursed.The people here have never tolerated it a few times since they grew up. Of course, the few poor scholars on the opposite side are not qualified to let them endure it. The two groups will fight if they disagree.Naturally, the scholars suffered. Several of them were pushed into the water, and the surrounding boats surrounded the city. Men and women stood at the bow of the boat and leaned against the window, pointing at the fallen scholars and laughing.In shame and anger, the scholars climbed onto the flower boat, urging the boat lady to go back quickly.

The matter did not end like this. These scholars returned to their residences and gathered their classmates and fellow countrymen. The next day they would sue. The power oppressed the people, a group of people clamored on the street that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and the noise attracted people on the street to watch. Many people followed them to the gate of the yamen, and the scholars stood on the steps, expressing emotion , If no one can uphold justice, you must go to Datian to listen.

Could it be that the son of the princess can oppress the people at will?

The prefect of Jinling opened a court to hear the case, and a group of scholars asked Si Bo to come forward and serve them tea to make amends, otherwise, they would continue to appeal.

The prefect of Jinling had no choice but to ask the superiors for instructions, and did not dare to give orders on the spot. The scholars seized on this matter and said something about the protection of officials and officials, and the common people below seemed to feel the same way.When the prefect of Jinling came forward to mediate, the scholars didn't accept it, and they went from serving tea to apologizing to advertising the whole city.

A few days ago, the emperor fainted from heat stroke on the road of inspection, and the matter of Dacang was still pending, so he stayed in bed and was depressed all day long.

The princes heard the report from the outside and decided not to let the emperor know that these scholars were looking for trouble, and they kept saying how Si Bo oppressed the good, let alone whether they were good or not, the most real thing is: Bo is in the capital.

Si Bo is the son of the second princess. He is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The best thing to do is go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to drink flower wine. He once told him that you can’t write an article if you drink at home, and you have to go to that kind of dirty place to drink to write. Don’t go out and say it, I feel ashamed if I say it.Later, Si Bo gave himself a nickname, Wuling Scholar, and concealed his real name. Later, very few people knew about Si Bo, but many people knew about Wuling Scholar.In the end, he didn't want to get married seriously, so he wandered outside every day. The second princess cried a few times and left him alone. When she arrived in the palace, she often talked about it with her sisters. The princesses always called him and Situ Yue the two. As a demon king, it's not over if he insists on making the elders feel distressed and worried about the marriage.

Now that the three kings are receiving the ministers every day instead of the emperor, they naturally don't care about it, but the five kings want to take care of it. They fell ill along with the emperor, and only the seven kings are idle, so they quickly figured out the matter. There was a child of the princess's family, when he heard those scholars speak ill of his family, he beat them up angrily, but he didn't beat them hard. In the words of these three dudes, "we can't stand on the boat by ourselves, so we push each other. A few times, some of us were pushed by the group of scholars, and a layer of oily skin fell off our heads. Besides, there were only six or seven of us, and they came up with more than a dozen people. It's unreasonable for them not to fall."
