{Thank you friend Meow Big 2558 for the two monthly passes} "Oh" Wei Guozhen was surprised: "But the old man was wrong, the king didn't renovate the palace even if the Ming Kingdom didn't take Chang'an as the capital, it was also Xijing, where all the rivers meet, the scenery is beautiful, it can be another palace, and Chang'an is not far from Luoyang, maybe one day the king will move."
Qian Niuwei pointed forward and said with a smile: "Isn't there a Weiyang Palace there, and you can move in with a little repair." ” The reason why Jianzhang Palace was abandoned for three hundred years is that the scope is wide and the project is huge, and secondly, the Later Han Dynasty did not have the intention of establishing the capital Chang'an, and although Emperor Chu ascended the throne in Chang'an, he was in danger and had no time to take care of it.
Now Yang Yan actually wants to take out the Jianzhang Palace for the use of the people, which makes Wei Guozhen's eyes flash, and he praises from the bottom of his heart: "The king of the world is the public, and he is really a benevolent monarch, and the people of Guan should be grateful and cry." ” Qian Niuwei smiled faintly, and then signaled: "Gong Wei, the front is the camp arranged for you and Lang Jun, the army is simple, please bear with me, the two of us will not go, if there is a need, please do not hesitate to order." ” Wei Guozhen arched his hand: "Don't dare to bother, thank you to the two generals for leading the way." ” "Gong Wei is polite, farewell" Qianniuwei returned the salute and turned to leave.
Wei You once looked left and right, and couldn't help but say: "Ah Weng, I still don't understand why King Ming refused to accept grain and grass, and now it is a spring famine, it is possible that there is enough grain and grass in his village, but even so, the more the better." ” Wei Guozhen shook his head and said: "How can King Ming not lack food, how can the daily consumption of millions of refugees be fake, and provide food and drink for millions of people every day, not to mention the country, even the rich Jiangdong can hardly bear it." ” "Why is that?"
Wei You asked puzzled.
"Hey" Wei Guozhen sighed and said with a wry smile: "King Ming is a very person, he doesn't want to make small profits, he is far-sighted, ask you for my father, if King Ming accepts our family's money and grain, we will ask each other for something in the future, and he will not allow it."
Seeing what the king does, he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, even so, it is better not to accept it, and his father has been pondering all the way, and it should be like this. ” Wei You once asked again: "There are still more than a month before the wheat harvest, how can King Ming survive the spring famine?"
Wei Guozhen smiled coldly: "Didn't you listen to what King Ming asked at the end If it is not expected, King Ming will secretly investigate Liu Shi's spies, if you find out who has secretly communicated with you, you will send troops to exterminate it, one is to kill chickens and monkeys, and the other is to copy the family wealth as military funds, kill two birds with one stone, why owe a favor to your father" "What should we do with that person?"
Wei Youzeng's face changed suddenly.
"I don't need to ask" Wei Guozhen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he slashed the void with one palm: "I will solve this person when my father goes back, and I will be sharper in my hands and feet, and King Ming will not know." ” "This" Wei You once hesitated: "In this way, wouldn't it be a way out of retreat?"
Wei Guozhen said helplessly: "I can only make a complete break with Liu Shi, otherwise if it is delayed, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be probed by the King of Ming, now the Ming army is based on the Jianzhang Palace, and there is already a good location in hand, just to block the offensive launched by Shi Hu in the rainy season, it will definitely counterattack in the autumn and winter, and there is still a chance of winning six or seven percent, so far, my family can only bet all the bets on the side of King Ming, and warn you again for my father, don't give birth to thoughts that you shouldn't have, understand?"
"I understand."
Wei You hurriedly responded.
Wei Guozhen nodded: "It's still early, you go with your father, and you can also get to know the Ming army." ” "No" Wei You once bowed down.
The father and son wandered in the army.
Jiankang, Yanshi There was a long queue in front of the rice shop under Concubine Pei's name, and they were basically ragged civilians, and there were more than a thousand people.
"Hey, the price of this grain is rising day by day, how do you live?"
"But no, it has been rising since last autumn, and the millet has risen from five dollars a liter to fifteen yuan, and it was twenty or thirty dollars a while ago, and today it will directly break a hundred."
"As soon as the grain rises, everything rises, this is a way to cut off people's lives, and Ming'er really has to sell land."
"Eh, have you ever heard that the price increase was made by King Ming, King Ming was reckless, kept using soldiers, consumed countless grains and grass, how could the price of grain not rise?"
"Put your mother's fart, you eat King Ming's rice, and come to scold your mother to go all over Jiankang to see, in addition to here, how can there be five dollars a liter of grain, fifty dollars a liter of salt Yanglang oil, have you eaten it, how many years have not increased the price and then dare to ruin the reputation of King Ming, Lao Tzu will kill you" In the ranks, there was a lot of noise and discussion.
It is also true that while the price of grain has soared, only Concubine Pei's shop still sells grain at the old price, of course, it is limited, otherwise Jiankang has a population of one million, and Concubine Pei's family background is too thick to bear, and it is also limited to purchase, each person can buy up to one stone of millet and one liter of oil, and the amount of salt is unlimited.
Because the output of salt farms in the East China Sea and the Yellow River estuary was rising, the population of the whole country at that time was less than that of modern Shanghai, and the supply of salt was already in excess of demand.
In the store, even the shopkeeper and his staff are busy, and there are cars and horses in the back store to bring in the grain, and everyone who buys the food bows and thanks like Thanksgiving.
"Eh, stand, what are you doing?"
A guy stopped a middle-aged man who was about to buy grain.
The middle-aged man was puzzled: "Buy rice and oil" The guy smiled coldly: "Look at your meaty face, your family will be short of rice to go, go aside" "Your mother, Lao Tzu is still provoking you when he buys grain, folks, they all come to comment, why doesn't he sell it to me, King Ming has no sincerity to sell grain at all, and he sells his reputation and reputation."
There was some commotion in the crowd, and some people showed signs of grievances.
The shopkeeper's hand was unhurried, he paced out, looked at the man for a moment, grabbed his arm, folded his sleeves, pinched his muscular arm, and said with a smile: "If you don't know how to dance a gun and a stick, count me blind, and say, which house has the price of Jiankang grain rising steadily, even the scholars can't bear it, and if you want to buy cheap grain, why bother squeezing together with a group of bitter haha, to meet the princess, how can the princess not be reasonable You are crowded here, you are not afraid of losing the face of your lord."
The man's face turned pale for a while, it was obvious that the shopkeeper saw through his identity, he was the family member of a certain scholar clan, and then looked at the people left and right, many people showed disdain, and some people pointed at him.
The shopkeeper said: "Don't go yet, the princess has told, this grain is life-saving food, only sold to the most needy, if your family is down to this, we are not embarrassed, leave a name, catch up with the old man Ming'er let people send food to your family, if you don't leave, that line, check your roots and feet is not not found, then you can complain that the old man will send you home." ” As he spoke, he waved his hand.
There were several soldiers who kept order.
When the man saw it, he ran away.
Immediately afterward, hundreds of people in the queue quietly left, and the people in the queue burst into laughter and curses.
In fact, generally speaking, scholars will not lack food, after all, their own families are planting, and those who come to buy food are not really short of food, but they send out the idle people at home to buy, add blockage to Concubine Pei, increase the burden, and buy it back and sell it backhanded, at least ten times the profit, anyway, there are idlers in every family, and if you buy it, you will earn it.
But Concubine Pei has already prevented this situation, and it is usually not difficult to identify the family members compared to the real poor.
"Eh, didn't you just come yesterday, why are you here again today?"
The shopkeeper simply didn't look back, and the pair of fiery eyes looked at the crowd, and suddenly pulled out a woman in shabby clothes and a yellow face.
The woman was very uncomfortable, and said: "The concubine is afraid that the food at home is not enough to eat, so buy more and save it, the price of food outside is too high, the concubine knows that King Ming and the princess are good people, so let the concubine buy more." ” The shopkeeper smiled slightly: "There's no need to work so hard, the old man won't hide it from you, at most a day or two, the price of grain will drop, you buy so much grain and put it at home, the rainy season is coming soon, how to eat it if it is damp and moldy."
"The shopkeeper, it's really going to fall, how much will it drop?"
Someone asked hurriedly.
The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said loudly: "Folks, the price of grain is not normal, it is the Gaomen clan who speculates the price of grain to make huge profits, they only care about making black money, and they don't care about the life and death of the people in the city, but the king and the princess can't let them do whatever they want, the king has said more than once that grain, salt, oil, and cloth are related to the people's livelihood, and no matter what money they make, they can't make people's livelihood money."
Please rest assured that the king will take measures to reduce the price of grain, where does this grain price come from, and where will it go back, if there is enough grain and rice at home, don't buy it anymore, and you can't put it back when you buy it." 。
