Chapter 221 Makes his heart like a knife
Nan Baoyi picked up a few letters and watched them.
The expression on the white and tender face gradually became solemn.
There is a severe drought in Shu County, which is very critical this year and next year. If it is not done well, it will be hungry all over the world.
Food and water sources are the foundation of people's survival, but so many granaries were burned, the county magistrate did nothing, which is really heartbreaking!
Xiao Yi slowly peeled the lychees.
A few days ago, at Jinyumantang, Boss Wan tried to join forces with the grain merchants in Shu County to raise the price of grain. He asked him for it, but he refused.
I think this is their revenge.
It's disgusting.
He peeled out the lychee core and fed the lychee meat into Nan Baoyi's mouth, smiling as if: "What do you think Jiaojiao?"
"The second brother is afraid that they will make this decision because they blocked the financial path of some people." Nan Baoyi said in a deep voice, "If you can find Hong Laojiu's granary in a short time, you can call the magistrate of the thirty-two counties and keep silent at the same time. Apart from the prefect of Shu County, no one else can do it!"
The Cheng family is deeply rooted in Shu County.
Cheng Taishou had many disciples, and the magistrates of the thirty-two counties were the only ones who were in charge of the leader, which was very powerful.
Nan Baoyi knew that he was not worthy of his position, but he never expected that he would dare to make money so blatantly, even regardless of the dilemma of the people!
So much food is all the hard work of the second brother!
It was burned with fire!
The imperial envoy is still here, isn’t he afraid of being exposed for his crime?!
She grabbed Xiao Yi's broad sleeve and was about to cry, "Second brother, let's go and expose the crime of Cheng Taishou's crime while he is still here at nine thousand years old?"
"it's useless."
Xiao Yi peeled the lychees and looked cold and weak.
"Why is it useless?"
"Gu Chongshan is a figure in the Chengwang faction, while Cheng Hui and Xue Dingwei are neutral factions. This time, Gu Chongshan came to Shu County to investigate theft of disaster relief silver and select the imperial merchants. Do you think he has no other purpose?"
Nan Baoyi [Doudou Novels ] was stunned.
Now that the prince is adult, the dispute over the throne is beginning.
Xue Dingwei, who had an army of 400,000, and Cheng Hui, who was in power in Shu County, was naturally the target that King Cheng wanted to win over.
Therefore, Gu Chongshan came to win over them.
Gu Chongshan, I won’t help my second brother…
Her heart sank little by little.
Xiao Yi fed her another lychee.
He chuckled: "Are you unhappy when you stay in the boudoir and read poetry and embroider flowers and birds? Why do you always think about getting involved in these big things? With your brother here, you won't let Jiaojiao be bullied."
Nan Baoyi didn't make any noise.
She lay on Xiao Yi's shoulder and buried her face in his neck.
It's just awkward!
After returning from rebirth, he clearly possessed the right time and place, and had hoarded so much rice and grain, and could save hundreds of thousands of people, but he finally failed because of the greed of others...
Although she is a girl from a deep boudoir and has little talent, she also knows that "they dare not forget their worries about the country when they are low."
Why don’t those people who hold high positions and read books of sages since childhood?
The warm liquid rolled down the young man's neck.
Xiao Yi looked cold.
Nan Jiaojiao's tears are the sharpest weapon in the world.
It was easy to make his heart cut.
He gently stroked the little girl's head, "It won't be a problem, my brother assures you that there will be no problem in the entire Shu County."
"The magistrate of the thirty-two counties and counties is indecent as their parents, so he will kill them to thank the world. Cheng Taishou is corrupt and abuses his power for personal gain, so he will announce his crimes to the world.
"I want my hometown, the rivers and the seas are peaceful, and the prosperity of peace. I want my people to have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace."
He also wants his little girl to be charming and charming, like a pearl or a treasure!
The youth's commitment is resounding.
Nan Baoyi believed in him.
He is a powerful minister, and she believes everything he says!
Nan Baoyi wrapped her neck charmingly, and stayed in his arms and refused to come out.
The sunny chatter silently covered her wide sleeves.
It's really troublesome for women.
Women of the lower eighth grade are even more delicate and stupid.
but……
In view of this girl's innocent heart, I could barely mention her first grade and rated it as the seventh grade.
The southern palace is still quiet.
As countless granaries were burned, Hongjia rice shops were sold out, and panic finally broke out.
Rice shops have been rising prices one after another, and within one day, the grain prices have increased by more than five times.
Various sensational rumors spread, making the people believe that this drought will continue until next year, and it is necessary to store grain now.
So countless people took to the streets, took out their savings from their families, and rushed to buy rice and grain.
As panic spreads, the order of the town is disordered, and some people even go to other families to force rice and grain, causing even greater disasters.
Bandits are rampant outside the towns and occupy rivers and lakes, causing the villagers to be displaced.
Refugees are increasing day by day.
Prefect's Mansion.
Cheng Hui sat upright behind the desk, dipped his fingertips in his saliva, and slowly read the "Analects of Confucius".
The housekeeper came in with a few books of account books and said with a smile: "Master, Boss Wan has sent someone to deliver the account books. This is the account record for the past half month. Please check it out."
Cheng Hui put down the Analects of Confucius.
After opening the account book, in just half a month, the money earned by the rice shop was comparable to the third quarter of last year.
"The people are still robbing rice and grain in a crazily. Boss Wan only sells a little bit every day, and most of the grain is still stored in the warehouse. He only waits for the winter to sell it, so he can make a lot of money!" The housekeeper smiled and couldn't stop smiling. "Boss Wan also said that the master is the most honest prefect in the world, just like his parents of food and clothing. Therefore, he specially took out 40% of the money to be filial to you!"
"40%..."
Cheng Taishou knocked on the case of the book and smiled elegantly, "I'm still quite sensible. What's the situation with Xiao Yi?"
"Don't worry, my master, his granary has been burned out, and the price of grain in other counties is also tight, so it's not that easy to transport grain in."
Prefect Cheng smiled even more vigorously, and he sighed as he opened the "Analects of Confucius" and said, "Shu County is a thousand miles away. As the prefect, I have really worked hard! What happened to Gu Chongshan?"
"The governor of the West Factory temporarily lives in Jinyumantang, and seems to be in a hurry to return to Shengjing City. He has always wanted to meet Grand Commander Xue for the past few days, probably to support the enthronement of Prince Cheng. However, Grand Commander never saw him."
"It's just a eunuch slave, it's really not worthy of the Chief Governor's personal reception. King Cheng sent such an eunuch slave to discuss cooperation, but did not show a decent meeting gift, so he didn't take us seriously at all. He was happy to stay in Jinguan City, so let him continue."
The housekeeper smiled and was known for being.
He came out of the study and asked the maid to ask him for a request, saying that his wife asked him to check the expenses for the public school.
When he arrived at the flower hall in the backyard, Mrs. Cheng, Huang, sat upright on it, drinking almond tea.
Nan Yan knelt on the ground, carefully pinching her legs, as if in a filial manner.
When the butler mentioned that the rice shop was making a fortune, Huang couldn't stop smiling.
She sarcastically said, "Everyone says that the Nan family can do business. I think it's good for our Cheng family to start a business. Do you think so, Nan Yan?"
