Zhou Ping, the general judge of Shuntian Mansion, followed up almost the whole process.

He ordered his servants to find out the price of cloth in the new city and the old city.

Soon, he was taken aback.

Cloth prices plummeted.

No, it's more than a sharp drop, it's simply a cut in half.

Zhou Ping hurried back to Shuntian Mansion.

Liu Chang, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was very concerned about this.

The cabinet has already issued a note to ask Shuntian Mansion to take care of this matter, how dare he neglect it.

Seeing Zhou Pinglai's reply, Liu Chang pretended not to be alarmed, and took a sip of tea, "How is it, how is the situation?"

"Your Majesty." Zhou Ping said sternly, "The price of cloth has already been cut in half, and it may even continue to fall. This trend is very strange to my subordinates, and I have already sent people to continue to investigate."

Liu Chang asked in surprise, "Now, what is the market price?"

Zhou Ping said, "The top-grade cloth has dropped from one tael to five silver coins to seven coins."

call……

Liu Chang gasped.

It's only been a few days, this energy is really big enough.

If you want to rise, you can rise, if you want to fall, you can fall, you can do whatever you want.

He stared at Zhou Pingdao, "Is there no reason?"

Zhou Ping was embarrassed.

He sent someone to investigate.

But those merchants, their mouths are very strict.

After all, this is a secret investigation, so it is impossible to use official authority to oppress these merchants.

What's more, what kind of person Zhou Ping is, how could he hang out with merchants, spread the word, to affect his official reputation, how can he find out the truth now.

In fact... this is also understandable.

Originally, merchants were clearing their warehouses crazily.

The merchants who knew the inside story were already covering up the news, for fear of leaking about Xishanbu.

Because of this leak, the more people who know the news, the more people will wait and see. Is this product still on sale?

Everyone is now shipping in silence, and one less person who knows about it will increase the possibility of getting back the money.

Zhou Ping thought for a while, and then said, "However, the lower officials vaguely know that there seems to be a large amount of goods hidden in Xishan, but I don't know if it has something to do with it."

"Can the news be confirmed?" Liu Chang frowned.

"this……"

"Hey..." Liu Chang smiled wryly, but it was not good to blame Zhou Ping more, he pulled himself together, "Anyway, I will go to the cabinet, no matter what, as long as the price of cloth falls."

He got up and glanced at Zhou Ping, "You continue to inquire. This price must be kept on the eye of the officer at any time. If there is any repetition, it must be reported immediately."

"yes."

Liu Chang immediately entered the palace and went to the cabinet.

In the cabinet, all is well.

It's just winter, and the weather is a bit cold.

There are three Liu Jians, all wearing sweaters and the bullfighting suits bestowed on them.

They were old and couldn't bear the cold, but fortunately, floor heating had been installed in the cabinet. Looking out the window, there were only a few sparrows sitting and chirping in the bare trees.

Zhongshusheren and scribes are busy.

Liu Jian put his hands behind his back, his eyes still fell out of the window, he couldn't help saying, "When I was young, I always felt that I was too young and was underestimated by others. It can be longer. Nowadays, every time this season comes, I think that I am going to be a year older again, hey...life is probably like this, there will always be thousands of unsatisfactory things, getting old, people getting old, looking at It's desolate, and my heart is always empty."

He turned around and glanced at Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, who were also sighing.

"In the future, we will all go into the ground and turn into dust, but I don't know if there will be successors in this world." Liu Jian smiled, "I received Ouyang Zhi's memorial yesterday, and it was about the New Deal. It's fresh, but it's a lot, the old man still can't understand, Ouyang Zhi is honest and honest, it's rare for me to appreciate others, he's one of them."

As he said that, Liu Jian sat down and sipped his tea, "This old man is here in winter, feeling the scenery here, but if you think about it carefully, how many people are there, and what is the general situation in winter?"

Xie Qian said, "Mr. Liu must be thinking about the bet between His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Duke of Qi."

Liu Jian smiled, "If you gamble, you win or lose, but as long as you gamble, as long as the people can benefit, why not?"

"Extremely."

"I just don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Qi have the ability. I heard that His Majesty is furious again and wants to deal with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ahem...Be careful with your words, be careful that the walls have ears."

Just as he was talking, someone from Zhongshushe came outside to report, "Liu Chang of Shuntian Mansion is asking for a visit."

Liu Jian bowed his head, blew the tea in the cup, and said, "Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, come, please come in."

When Liu Chang came in, he calculated that he was Liu Jian's disciple. He quickly saluted and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, I dare not be Cao Cao. The analogy of Mr. Liu is obviously inappropriate."

Everyone laughed.

Liu Jian said, "Come on, sit down and talk, Zihe, the old man is looking forward to your coming."

Liu Chang shook his head, "I won't sit down anymore. I came here to report the price of cloth. I wanted to pass a note to the cabinet. I was afraid that Mr. Liu would be waiting, so I came in person. In the past two days, Jingshi went crazy, and the price of cloth plummeted, and the price has fallen to less than half."

Liu Jian and the others were dumbfounded.

Damn...it's really so ruthless.

"What's the reason?"

"The news I got is that there seems to be a large amount of cloth in Xishan, which has caused the merchants to be nervous."

"Sure enough!" Liu Jian beamed with joy, "I expected it a long time ago. For this bet, the prince and the Duke of Qi obviously...bleeded a lot, but I don't know how much cloth they have stockpiled. How much cloth did they buy? When they come, the price will not be low. If they want to come, they will prepare again and sell them at a low price. In this way, it will be no wonder that the price of cloth does not fall. Buying high and selling low is a business that loses everything, and the cost must be staggering Someone in the household department has calculated that if this is really the case, I am afraid that the cost will not be less than several million taels of silver, otherwise, it will not last long, and the price of cloth will rise again. It is difficult, it is difficult for Qi Guogong, finally, he is willing It's bleeding."

Everyone laughed.

Xie Qian said sharply, "This is called iron cock plucking. If it can't be pulled out, its hair will be smoothed."

"Ahem..." Liu Jian coughed, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly lowered his head and drank his tea. After finally calming down his emotions of wanting to burst out laughing, he said seriously, "Get ready to see Your Majesty, this is good news after all, Li Guo It is a blessing for the country that the common people can reduce some of their burdens."

He got up, and everyone stood up one after another.

………………

Emperor Hongzhi lived in the Fengtian Palace these days, and the harem couldn't stay there anymore. It was a big workshop.

He looked tired, but Queen Zhang came.

But I saw Queen Zhang in front and several maids in the back.

Empress Zhang bowed to Emperor Hongzhi, "The concubine has seen your majesty, and the concubine ordered someone to boil some ginseng soup. Your majesty is not in good health, so you should nourish it."

Emperor Hongzhi regained some color on his face. He pushed away the memorial on the case, and looked at Empress Zhang with a smile, "Ah... you are here, come, come to me, you have lost a lot of weight."

"Really? The concubine doesn't think she's lost weight." Hearing His Majesty's evaluation of her, Empress Zhang beamed with joy.

Emperor Hongzhi "..."

Woman oh woman.

"What is your Majesty's expression?"

Emperor Hongzhi coughed, "No, it's nothing, I'm just worried about you too, you're not too young, but you learn from their youth..."

"Speaking of this, the concubine would like to report that so far, there are 1,500 people in the harem, and 7,632 bolts of cloth have been woven... The concubine is thinking about sending someone to Xishan. The concubine is them My mother, how can I bear to see them burnt out, with these more than 7,000 bolts of cloth, although it will not help, it can also relieve some urgent needs."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi sighed.

Although Queen Zhang had a bad temper sometimes, she even indulged her brother.

But in good conscience, it's not an advantage for her to protect the calf.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "I'm sure, these two little bastards..."

Queen Zhang frowned.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said, "These two children, they don't know what's going on now."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch lowered his head, not daring to lift it up.

Sure enough... Xiao Jing is better.

Empress Zhang was worried in her heart, but at this moment, someone outside said, "Your Majesty, a cabinet scholar..."

After hearing this, Queen Zhang moved forward and said, "Then, the concubine will sue..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, "Stay here, Liu Qing's family are all my humerus, let them come in, you don't have to avoid it, no one makes irresponsible remarks."

After a while, Liu Jian and others came in, and after saluting, Liu Jian said, "Your Majesty, the Shuntian Mansion reported that the price of the capital has suddenly plummeted in the past few days. Your Majesty, I am thinking that maybe the crown prince and the Duke of Qi are concerned about the suffering of the people, so they bought a large amount of cloth, causing the entire cloth market to worry."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

These two little bastards, are they really playing like this?

They... don't treat silver as silver too much.

but……

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help saying, "I... lost..."

There was no regret on his face, and he still couldn't help but look a little more happy.

They can do something for the common people and don't hesitate to spend money. Although it looks like the behavior of a prodigal, but... there is nothing wrong with it.

Finally, a good deed has been done.

After hearing this, Queen Zhang became displeased immediately.

It's not because of the bet, it's all right now, how much money did the two children spend.

Thinking of this, Queen Zhang felt distressed.

What's more, I also led the harem, and spent a month weaving more than 7,000 bolts of cloth without sleep, but now...how can I do it.

If I had known this before, I should have sent this cloth earlier. These two children can save some.

Liu Jian was beaming with joy, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, old minister. Congratulations to Your Majesty. Today, the weather is cold and the people have nothing to wear. At this time, the price of cloth has plummeted. It is like saving thousands of people, and countless people are alive."
