The snow in the courtyard has almost melted, and the remaining clumps of dirt were quickly cleaned up by the palace people, and what can still be seen in the eyes is still neat and beautiful, no matter how chaotic the world is, it is always difficult to feel it in this palace, just like how short of food is now, but as the actual ruler of this Guanzhong land, Liu Xie will not really experience what it is like to be hungry.
Liu Xie can only feel whether the people are happy at a macro level through the various data collected.
For now, at least, the people in this pass are unfortunate.
Being born in the royal family is undoubtedly a kind of luck, but at the same time it is also a misfortune, especially the last emperor like him, who wants to live without worrying about it, and has some burdens, he must pick it up.
Sima Yi is gone, Liu Xie doesn't feel any pity, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi are also talented, although Yang Xiu is arrogant, but Liu Xie can accept it, I don't know if it is the reason for being affected by history or romance, every time Liu Xie looks at Sima Yi, he feels panicked in his heart, even if he is laughing, laughing very sincerely, Liu Xie always feels that this kid is paying attention to himself in his heart.
Let's go, let's go, it's okay to go, the province is uncomfortable to look at every day, and now Liu Xie is more concerned about the price of food and the recent strange phenomenon of resignation in the court officialdom.
The price of grain has grown to 700 yuan a stone in the past few days, and in recent days, people in many places have begun to go on strike.
Fengxiao, if you don't come back, I really won't be able to hold on.
It is not difficult to bow to the family, revoke the general recruitment order, and recruit some children of the family into the army, there is no need for Liu Xie to really apologize to the family, and the people of the family cannot really ask him to apologize.
It's just that if this step is retreated, it will be difficult to take it back in the future, it is not impossible to use the children of the family as generals, and even in this era, it will be okay to say, if you are handsome, it is easier for the family to be handsome, but just like the family looks at the martial artists, there is a primary and secondary problem.
You have the ability, I appreciate you, and promote you to be a general and a high-ranking official, this is Liu Hehe's gift as the emperor, even if he accepts these people into the army, he will not be threatened; But now it's the other way around, I don't want to use you, but you force me to compromise with you, take the initiative to send you a high-ranking official, and then it is likely that you will be put on a reluctant posture, and you have to laugh and praise.
This is something that is difficult for any emperor to tolerate, Liu Xie is unwilling to do it, but if he does not solve this problem of grain and grass, even if he is unwilling, he can't watch the people's livelihood wither in this pass, and the progress of the canal has slowed down significantly in recent days.
Before spring planting, if this problem can not be solved, this year's harvest will be greatly reduced, and then the people can not survive, can only find another way out, forming a vicious circle, to next year, the population of Guanzhong has decreased sharply, Liu Xie's dream of reviving the Han family will also become far away, and in a few years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of the fate of being held hostage by the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Wait another day, and if you can't come back tomorrow, you won't wait.
Liu Xie secretly made a decision in his heart, just bow your head, save your vitality, it is more important than anything else, but it is a lot more difficult to take back power in the future.
"Your Majesty" Wei Zhong came in from outside the hall at a trott, and quickly came to Liu Xie's side, and said in a slightly wheezing voice: "Your Majesty, I just received a letter from Mr.
Fengxiao, and the first batch of grain will arrive today." ” "Oh" Liu Xie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, took the letter sent by Wei Zhong, his eyes swept over the letter, and a smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, let's go, follow me to inspect the city wall." ” "Whoa" When Liu Xie came to the vicinity of the city wall with Wei Zhong, Niu Geng and a team of guards, he saw that the gate of the city was surrounded by a group of people.
"Stop, what are you waiting for" Liu Xie frowned, looked at the crowd that surrounded the grain team, and scolded sharply.
"Your Majesty."
There was an exclamation in the crowd, Niu Geng had already led people up, pushed the crowd away, and saw that the military uniform on a general had been torn crookedly.
Liu Xie has been patrolling the city every day these days, and many people have recognized this young man, plus Niu Geng and his party came up, and there were also tiger guards around, although they were still a little red-eyed, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous at the moment, and obediently retreated to the surroundings.
"The last general, Liu Pan, see Your Majesty."
The general bowed.
"Count it out, you and I are considered peers, so let's be exempt."
Liu Xie was a little stunned, this person was really Liu Pan, that is, someone sent by Jingzhou.
Looking at the grain trucks behind him, two of them have been overturned, and a large pile of corn fell to the ground, and someone is cleaning it up at the moment, and many people around are watching with red eyes as the pile of corn is repacked into the grain truck.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Pan hurriedly got up.
"This is" Liu Xie pointed to the convoy behind Liu Pan, uncertain.
"Back to Your Majesty, my lord heard that Guanzhong suffered a disaster last year, but Jingzhou is not rich in grain and grass at present, so he brought ten thousand stones of grain and grass to sell at the end of the special order, one can slightly alleviate the danger of lack of grain in Guanzhong, and the other can also buy some war horses, porcelain and other items."
"What is the price of grain" Liu Xie rubbed his eyebrows, a little unsure if this was Guo Jia's idea or Liu Biao's own idea.
"The lord has already said that the price of grain is set by His Majesty."
Liu Pan bowed and said.
"Okay" Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he could see that there must be Guo Jia's shadow in it: "In this case, these corns will be sold here, eighty yuan and one stone, and later, I will select some porcelain from the palace and send it to Uncle Huang, which can be regarded as compensation for the loss." ” Liu Pan bowed and said, "Your Majesty." ” "Long live Your Majesty" "Your Majesty Shengming" Not far away, although many onlookers were a little disappointed when they heard that they could not get relief, they were a stone of eighty yuan, and a bucket was only about eight yuan.
Many people immediately called friends to come to buy grain, but these days, but the people were hungry and afraid, and those who had surplus money at home were exchanged for corn.
Wanshi grain and grass, it sounds like a lot, but it can't stand the fact that there are many people in Chang'an, more and more, and the people who heard the news will be surrounded by the entire Jingzhou grain transportation team, Liu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, he found an interesting thing, I don't know when it started, there are many families who change their clothes to mix in the crowd.
It's just ten thousand stones of grain and grass, even if the family can eat it, now they only dare to consume it by this shady means, after all, there are many people, if you really buy too much at once, then don't want to go out from here.
Arranged for Shi A to command Hu Benwei to be responsible for maintaining order, and Liu Xie returned to the palace with people, and some previous preparations could also come in handy at this time.
On the same day, when most of the families were still paying attention to the Jingzhou grain team, the carriages were pulled out of Chang'an by the tiger guards and went to various construction sites.
Early the next morning, Guo Jia arranged the second grain team to come, this time it was a visitor from Shuzhong, sent 20,000 stone grain and grass, also at the price of 80 yuan, sold in the city, and in the early morning of the next day, the imperial court suddenly posted a list of texts, the imperial court has been with Jingzhou Thorn Mansion, Yizhou Thorn Mansion, and Zhen, Su, Qin, Lu four big businessmen got in touch, next, the grain team from all sides will arrive one after another, each construction site issued a grain purchase card, with this card can be set up in these six grain shops, buy three buckets of corn, and there is no purchase of grain cards, These shops are temporarily closed to the purchase of grain.
Three buckets of corn, just Liu Xie's day's wages, for the people, these three buckets of corn is enough for a day's food and clothing, but in the family's grain shop, this is fatal, 10,000 stone grain and grass, if converted into buckets, it is 100,000 buckets, although not much, but in terms of the purchasing power of the people of Chang'an, it is enough to support a few days.
"Maybe it's a bluff, Jingzhou and Yizhou may fund Your Majesty, but if you say that the Zhen family, the Qing family, and the Lu family are willing to support Your Majesty at this time, it is unlikely."
Zhong Xuan took a sip of hero wine, sneered and shook his head.
This wine is not bad, but I really don't know why His Majesty is brewing such things at this time "Don't worry, it won't be long" Zhong Xuan put down the wine in his hand, smiled and looked at the wealthy businessman in front of him, wanting to appease him, but there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.
"The head of the family, the Zhen family sent someone to send 50,000 stones of grain and grass, and His Majesty personally opened three shops for the Zhen family before to facilitate the sale of grain."

A family member rushed in in a hurry and said anxiously: "Our grain shop, no one has come to buy grain now." ” Isn't that nonsense, people have eighty dollars a stone over there, but the price of grain here is seven hundred yuan, and a fool will buy it.
Opposite Zhong Xuan, the grain merchant couldn't help but stand up in shock when he heard this, and looked at Zhong Xuan with a shocked expression, 50,000 stone grain and grass.
"Zhen family" Zhong Xuan frowned, why is the Zhen family here "Family master, I heard that some time ago, Lu Bu sent a team to bring a group of prisoners, who seem to be from the Zhen family."
The house said in a low voice.
Zhong Xuan frowned, turned his head a little gloomily and glanced at the grain merchant whose face had changed slightly, waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ” "Huh" The family didn't know why, so he bowed and retreated.
"Yuan Changgong, this" The grain merchant looked at Zhong Xuan and said with some hesitation.
"Don't be busy, delay it for two days, anyway, if the grain is put in the warehouse, it won't be gone, then Zhongshan Zhen's is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, how can the grain be transported so quickly" Speaking of this, Zhong Xuan's eyes lit up: "Someone must be bluffing, wait for me to find out the situation, and then make a conclusion." ” "That's the next goodbye."
When the grain merchant heard this, he made a relieved expression on his face, stood up and arched his hand.
"No." t1706231537:
