In Jiangzhou, Ji Changan and his party were rushing to the place at the fastest speed.

Ji Changan did not bring too many people with him. On the surface, he only brought his maids Mei Jian and Jing Niu. The guards were Yuchi Gong and two hundred black armor soldiers.

Zhuge Zhengwo and Wuqing Zhuiming from the Zhenwu Division also accompanied him. They were the main force in the investigation.

In the dark, it was Zhao Gao with the six sword slaves and the Jinqian Gang that had been gradually spread out in Jiangzhou.

The fourth prince brought some guards from small families on the surface, and in the dark it was Liusha.

At this time, the two of them rode horses in the middle of the team. After all, they were both warriors, and they were not powerless princes. They were heading towards Jiangzhou at a rapid speed.

"Sixth brother, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money to raise these iron cavalry." On the way, the fourth prince stared at the black armor soldiers guarding the surrounding area and couldn't help but show envy.

Even though he had two hundred quotas for the palace soldiers and could recruit armored soldiers, it would cost too much money to train heavy cavalry.

At least in his opinion, it would be better to use the money to recruit more martial arts masters than to train heavy cavalry.

However, seeing the disciplined Xuanjia Army under Ji Changan, he was still envious.

"It's okay, there are not many. If there are more, I'm afraid I will go bankrupt." Ji Changan glanced at the fourth brother. Now Wei Zhuang and the others have almost figured out the identity of the fourth brother.

The Holy Son of the Demon Cult, it seems to be a good identity, but I don't know how important this Holy Son is to the Demon Cult.

"Sixth brother is really greedy. How many more of this kind of cavalry do you want." The fourth prince also shook his head and said flatteringly.

As soon as he stepped into the territory of Jiangzhou, even in the area that had not yet suffered from the locust plague, there was a dead air.

Because there is still a short time before the autumn harvest, wheat and rice cannot be harvested as food now.

And the locusts will take away everything when they pass through, which is a dilemma.

The farmers in the fields are all frowning, praying to God constantly, not knowing what to do.

After all, the disaster resistance of ancient farmers is basically zero, and the only way to survive is to rely on the court for relief.

But at this time, the government has been slow to open the granary and stabilize the grain price, which has caused people's hearts to fluctuate.

Ji Changan looked around, squinting his eyes, and saw someone measuring the land, as if someone was going to sell the land.

You must know that land is the most important means of production for farmers. If there is no land, then farmers can't become self-cultivating farmers, but can only become long-term workers of landlords.

Moreover, large-scale land annexation is the most unacceptable for an imperial dynasty, which will lead to the collapse of the bottom.

After a little thought, Ji Changan also understood what happened, that is, although the locust plague has not arrived, the grain has reached an unacceptable level.

At this time, most farmers have used up their stored grain. They could have bought some in the market or borrowed some.

But now everything has changed. Who would take out grain now?

"Go into the city first." Ji Changan also understood that this kind of thing might be everywhere in Jiangzhou.

If you want to solve this problem, you still have to deal with it from the source.

Soon the two came to the Jiangzhou Prefecture Post Station. The environment of the Prefecture Post Station is quite good. It covers an area of ​​nearly 100 acres, and there are more than 1,000 guest rooms of various types.

The post station house, military officer hall, horse temple, stable, warehouse, prison room, etc. are all available.

After arriving at the post station, the fourth prince did not move in directly, but bowed and said: "Sixth brother, I don't have a position either, and my father asked me to come here to assist you.

You are now the chief of the Zhenwu Division, and even the imperial envoy who investigated the case and appeased the people this time.

Fourth brother, I won't bother you anymore. Now I see that the victims are everywhere, and I can't delay for a while. I will go to the major families to borrow grain."

"Then I'll trouble you, fourth brother." Ji Changan nodded, and he almost knew what the fourth prince was thinking.

This disaster is obviously not that simple.

The fourth prince escaped in this way. No matter what happens at that time, he can get a good reputation with that part of the grain.

At that time, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty may have a little change in his view of the fourth son who is close to the martial arts world.

After that, he can wash clean and use the power of the demon sect to seize the throne.

Ji Changan stared at the back of the fourth prince leaving. He can only say that the fourth prince's plan is very good, but he doesn't know how it can be implemented.

At this time, Yuchi Gong said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the families of Changyuan Chamber of Commerce want to see you."

"Changyuan Chamber of Commerce? Let them in." Ji Changan nodded. These chambers of commerce seemed to be staring at him.

He had just entered the post station and had not yet landed when he was found.

Perhaps these people seemed to be afraid of him?

Soon, severalThe patriarchs of the families were accompanied by many servants, and these servants were carrying various gifts, which seemed to be exquisite from the packaging.

"I am here to see your Highness."

When they arrived in front of Ji Chang'an, the patriarchs hurriedly saluted Ji Chang'an.

"Get up, I wonder what you are doing here, patriarchs?" Ji Chang'an glanced at the slightly wealthy people wearing silk, satin, and brocade clothes below.

One of the patriarchs, Su Huaixi, the president of the Changyuan Chamber of Commerce, listened to Ji Chang'an's words and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, as an angel, has come for the people of Jiangzhou, and he has worked hard.

As the host here, we will definitely assist your Highness with all our strength. These are some small gifts for your Highness."

After that, Su Huaixi asked the servants to carry in boxes of various gifts.

Ji Changan stared at Su Huaixi and said with a smile: "In that case, how about your Changyuan Chamber of Commerce donating some food to the people during this locust plague?

Otherwise, it will provoke a civil uprising, which may not be a good thing."

Su Huaixi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then my Su family is willing to donate 100,000 catties of food to the people."

"My Li family will donate 50,000 catties." Other clan leaders also expressed their opinions.

Such voices came one after another, but the total amount of food was less than 200,000 catties.

It seems a lot, but even if it is disaster relief, if each person only eats half a catty of food per day, it can only be used for 400,000 people for one day.

The population of the entire Jiangzhou exceeds 1 billion, even if there are 200 to 300 million people affected by the disaster, and those who need assistance must have reached the level of tens of millions.

The so-called 200,000 catties of food are not enough to share.

Ji Changan listened to these voices, stood up, and pointed at those exquisite gifts, which were probably worth more than 100,000 taels.

He sneered: "Okay, okay, these rare treasures are given to me by you.

And the 200,000 kilograms of grain are for the disaster victims in Jiangzhou and for the court."

He understood that for those families, giving money to him.

As long as he took the money, it would shut him up and establish a connection. If he needed anything in the future, he could continue to give him money.

But what can they get from giving the so-called grain to the disaster victims and the court? Reputation? What's the point of this.

It can't be for Ji Changan's political achievements. You know, if you really want to stabilize the grain price, the amount of grain needed is an astronomical figure.

What's more, they have to make money from it.
