Chapter 12 Walking back to Chang County
Yao Chong was a little confused for a moment. Obviously, the emperor was not satisfied with Miao Qi's answer, but sacrificial practices were a common practice in all dynasties.
After hesitating for a moment, he also stood up and bowed and said slowly: "Emperor, since you ascended the throne, you have been generous in politics, which is comparable to Yao, Shun, Tang and Yu. The people live and work in peace and contentment. This year, the weather is good, and some locusts are normal. I think it is too early to say that it has become a disaster. If you sacrifice immediately, it will cause panic among the people."
This was justified. Xuanzong Li Longji nodded in praise, "It's too early, well said, Yao Aiqing said so much, so how should we deal with it."
"Your Majesty, this matter should be delayed. You can continue to be reported every three days. You can keep abreast of the specific situation at any time. When the situation is clear, it will not be too late to make a decision."
After hearing what he said, before Emperor Xuanzong of Tang made a statement, Gao Lishi on the side had already secretly given a thumbs up.
It makes sense that Yao Chong can become the prime minister.
In contrast, Miao Qi's reaction was half a beat slower. With just one report, Miao Qi asked the emperor to sacrifice, which was obviously a bit arbitrary and hasty.
Having said that, in the face of locust plague, sacrifices have been practiced since ancient times, and Miao Qi is not wrong.
However, it is obvious that Yao Chong's strategy of slowing down the map is obviously more in line with the emperor's appetite, and what is even more cunning is that Yao Chong did not say what to do.
Looking at Xuanzong's face again, a trace of smile appeared.
"Well, Yao Aiqing's words are reasonable, so do it."
A report that scared Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji was so scared that he was resolved and invisible by Yao Chong's words.
After the two left, Xuanzong said with a smile on his face: "Yao Chongzhen is the white jade pillar of the sky in the Tang Dynasty, and the purple gold beam of the sea."
Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, smiled and brought a cup of tea to the emperor, "Your Majesty, say something very disrespectful, the villain thinks that Grand Secretary Miao is right, but it is a little arbitrary."
Xuanzong Li Longji took a sip of tea, "What, what do you mean, am I a fool?"
With one sentence, Gao Lishi was so scared that he plopped and fell to his knees on the ground.
"I deserve to die for the crime."
Xuanzong stood up with a smile.
"Okay, get up, I understand Miao Qi's intention."

Three days later.
Shen Buyi finally returned to Chang County before dark.
When Liu heard that his son was back, he staggered to the gate, and tears flowed down his eyes with excitement.
"Son, you're finally back."
The old housekeeper Yang Zhong, who was standing beside him, was a little surprised, "Feng Wu, where is your horse?"
Everyone came to their senses, yes, when they left, they rode on horseback.
Shen Buyi took the bag from Feng Wushang, took out a few pieces of rouge and water from it, and stuffed it into his mother Liu's hand.
"Here, old lady, Ma changed some rouge powder. Before going out, dress up and don't embarrass me."
The scene was silent, two horses, had they changed to this little rouge?
Yang Zhong shook his head helplessly, the young master's prodigality is as always.
And it is becoming more and more intense.
"Young Master Shen, you are finally back."
From afar, a shout came, and Zhang San hurried over.
"Young Master Shen, the villain has been waiting for you for a whole day."
"Zhang San, go away, our Shen family will not welcome you."
Yang Zhong has also heard the old woman Liu talk about some dirty things Zhang Zijing did in the past few days. Naturally, he doesn't need to give any good face to the slaves of such people.
"Butler Yang, Uncle Yang, don't be angry. This time I came here to talk to Mr. Shen about serious business and serious business."
Chen Buyi waved his hand and asked someone to help Liu back to rest first.
Liu's tears were filled with tears.
The sun came out from the west. My son went to Chang'an and actually bought himself rouge and water powder, and it was replaced with a horse.
Suddenly, she stopped crying, “It’s not right, the two horses changed to such a little rouge powder?
Is it true that my son's mind is really broken.
It's over, it's over. After thinking about it, the old lady cried even more sadly.
At the gate, Zhang San saw that there was no one around and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I'm here to talk to you about a big deal. My son said he would pay double the price to buy all your food."
"Oh, you said that, it's really a big deal.
But, the double price is too low. If you want to buy it, you can at least need this number."
As he spoke, Chen Buyi stretched out his left hand and spread his five fingers apart.
"How much is this?"
Zhang San felt sweat on his forehead began to emerge.
"A stupid guy, of course it's five times the price."
After saying that, Chen Buyi turned around proudly.
There were people in the palace, and the news was indeed very informative, which was a little faster than I expected.
I believe Zhang Zijing would not agree to it if he had 50 ounces, but then again, in three days, even if he agreed, he would not agree.
The next morning, the next morning, the front of the Shen family suddenly became lively, just like everyone was queuing up to sell grain a few days ago. Now several well-informed grain merchants are rushing to negotiate, wanting to buy the grain back at double the price.
But Chen Buyi doesn’t want to take action now. This is his first pot of gold and the most important pot of food in his life.
He must ensure that the money he received from the grain was able to buy Qingguang Lake.
It was not until the grain merchants left that Yang Zhong came forward carefully and advised: "Young master, I dare to advise you, just stop when you are happy. I have lived for so many years and have never seen food sell for fifty cents."
Chen Buyi is actually not very confident, but now the news of the locust plague has just been heard that grain merchants are willing to offer double prices, and there is probably still a lot of room for increase.
So, he was not in a hurry at all.
In the Nanxun Hall of Xingqing Palace, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, had just woken up and took a nap, and Gao Lishi, who was serving in bed, came carefully.
"Your Majesty, Ziwei Order Liu Gan, has been waiting outside for half an hour and said there is a hurry to report."
Xuanzong Li Longji couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Gao Lishi, I have said so many times. If you have urgent matters, you must wake me up."
Gao Lishi bent down and said carefully: "Your Majesty, you are a body of gold, and you are all people in the world. You are busy with all your time. You are very tired. You can fall asleep easily. I am... " "Okay, I know you have worked hard, go and proclaim the imperial edict."
Liu Gan, the highest chief executive of Ziwei Province, was in charge of various places for reporting and communicating, and issued edicts to the emperor.
It is one of the most important departments.
He didn't have much skill, and under the leadership of Gao Lishi, Liu Gan hurriedly walked in.
Liu Gan, who is usually quite steady, looks anxious today.
"My minister Liu Gan, long live my emperor, long live."
"Liu Aiqing, why are you so anxious?"
