Criminal Princess And Her Silly Farming System
Chapter 396: Officials can't afford rice
When the bearer heard her biting the word eating very hard, his eyes lit up, and he lifted the palanquin back with a bang.
If people outside know that they have food, they will definitely be robbed.
Zi Xu went to a few more shops, all of which were similar, but the Bai family was fine, they were self-sufficient.
After reading friends, Zi Xu entered the palace, ready to ask the little emperor what was going on.
Didn't he let Bailihan give the food? Why didn't you post it?
However, when it comes to the palace, it is heavily guarded and there are many faces.
Zi Xu ran directly to the Imperial Study Room, and outside was full of officials, led by Cheng Guian.
Zi Xu squinted his eyes, what is this going to do? Force the palace?
When Cheng Guian saw Zi Xu, he smiled and said, "You are back. I heard that you went out to buy rice. I wonder if you bought it?"
Zi Xu raised his eyebrows, what the little emperor said was Bailihan?
"I have something to see the emperor."
Cheng Guian stopped the door: "Just tell me if you bought it or not, so many people are waiting.
If there was no rice, they would all starve to death, let alone the people. "
Zi Xu sneered: "They will starve you to death but you won't. I don't believe that you don't have food in stock, so why don't you take it out to help?
As far as I know, some of those rice shops that sell high-priced rice are yours! "
Cheng Guian smiled: "Not really."
Zi Xu didn't believe it, but if he dared to say this, it meant that he had wiped his **** clean long ago, making it impossible to grasp the handle.
"That's good, I now suggest that the emperor punish those shops that sell high-priced rice."
Cheng Guian shook his head: "That won't work. It's a blessing to have rice to buy now. The emperor has punished them, so why don't they sell it?
When the people have no rice to eat, it will cause trouble. "
Zi Xu looked sideways: "What's the trouble? I'm not afraid."
"This is what you said, everyone heard it."
The faces of the officials were sad. This happened so suddenly that all the rice in the house was eaten this month.
There is no cheap rice in the city, and the city in Linjing refuses to sell rice to outer cities. They really can't survive.
An official said: "Maybe they will be punished, but they dare not sell it at a high price?"
Cheng Guian shook his head: "How is it possible? The rice belongs to others, so they can sell it if they want."
An old official said: "The old man believes that there are still conscientious people in the world. It is better to be without those profiteers."
Someone ridiculed: "Your family has started to eat wild vegetables, right? Where can there be food?"
Zi Xu looked at the faces of Baiguan, but in fact there were still many good officials.
"Don't worry, it will be fine."
Cheng Guian said mockingly: "We can't stop the emperor from thinking, but he has to consider whether he can do this, or the consequences..." He chuckled, "I'm afraid I can't afford it!"
Zixu looked sideways: "What's the matter? It's just a hailstorm. Is it possible that Chengdu can't live?"
Cheng Guian said: "There must be something that irritates God, so we still need to investigate this matter."
Zi Xu looked sideways, and sure enough, this guy wanted to use natural disasters to make a fuss.
"Get out, I want to see the emperor!"
"Think clearly what you are talking about, no, then fruit...huh!"
Cheng Guian this is obviously a threat.
But is Zi Xu afraid?
"May let you down!"
Cheng Guian stared at her coldly and let the door open.
Zi Xu walked in and saw the little emperor eavesdropping at the door, looking very funny.
"See the emperor!"
"Ahem... exempt!"
The little emperor was embarrassed to eavesdrop on the captured bag.
Zixu pulled him inside and let him sit down.
"Now it's time to distribute grain, so please comfort the minister. The people have to find a grain merchant to cooperate with the people for cheap grain."
"Not in the name of the government?" the little emperor asked.
Zi Xu smiled and said: "If you send it in the name of the government, there will be no credit. Give me a decree and I can find someone."
"Okay!" The little emperor wrote the imperial decree, to the effect that he entrusted Zi Xu to be the temporary grain officer with full authority, and all the grain mobilization was under her control.
Zi Xu took the imperial decree and came to the door: "See? The emperor has given the imperial decree. The officials have to report the family population. Each person will be given ten jin. The slave and the five-year-old are counted as one head."
There was joy on the minister's face, and some people began to calculate.
Zi Xu smiled faintly: "The newly purchased population in this month is not counted, and if a false report is found, the salary will be deducted.
If you want to eat yourself for a year in the future, then please do your hands and feet for these ten catties of rice. "
In this way, all those who are tempted dare not move.
Zi Xu nodded: "Go back, and submit the list to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will issue me a specific number of grains, and I will send it to you.
Don't worry, the rice sent out is all top-quality rice, and there will be no defective products to fool you. "
All the ministers knelt down and thanked the emperor immediately.
Cheng Guian's face was very bad, and he left with a cold snort.
Zi Xu curled his lips: "Want to fight with me? Still tender."
She didn't delay, and went out of the palace immediately. Whom would the food merchant look for? Naturally, I was looking for Qihuoge.
Sima Da looked at the imperial edict and asked blankly: "You want me to send food?"
"It's not the distribution of grain, but it is sold at a fair price. You can directly say that these grains are shipped from other places, sold at a cost, and bought by the people. One person is 10 kilograms, and it is bought at the price of medium grain.
The price difference during this period was paid by the emperor. "
Sima Da said: "But there are still a lot of poor in Beijing that can't even afford rice at a reasonable price."
Zi Xu nodded: "So the Yiyangtang still has a chance to give it to those who cannot afford food.
Of course, every household has to register, and some people cannot be justified. "
Sima Ma nodded: "But it looks like you still lose a lot of money, and your rice is not for nothing."
Zi Xu smiled: "Don't care about that little money in extraordinary times. If we don't make this money, we won't starve to death. If we make it, many people will starve to death."
Sima Da said nothing, just clasped his fists and arched his hands at Zi Xu.
He had always thought that Zi Xu was a profiteer, but now he knew that she was a person with people in mind.
Zi Xu said: "Look for a team to go out of town with me. There is still grain in my villa."
After that, the people saw the long convoy leaving the city, and in the afternoon, the long convoy came back.
Every car is full of food, and because there are guards, the hungry and red-eyed people dare not grab it.
If there are too many cars, there will definitely be some bags damaged, and the outflow of grain scattered on the ground.
Some children couldn't help but grabbed a hand and stuffed it in their mouths.
A guard caught him, and the child’s mother ran over to kneel in fright
"My lord, please forgive him. He is really hungry. I will pay for your food."
The mother took off the only copper hairpin and held it up.
The guard smiled: "I caught him because I was afraid that he would be hit by a car, so hurry home and ask the person in charge of yours to register, and then you can buy cheap food."
