Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

When Xu An was in crisis at Shanshui Villa, Xiao Yuanlang was also restless in the East Palace.

At this time, in the study, Xiao Lan'er was looking at the disaster relief records of the past few days, and her face was very ugly.

"Is there something wrong with your account book?"

Xiao Lan'er looked up at Xiao Yuanlang and raised the account book in her hand.

Xiao Yuanlang shook his head and said, "Yes, every record in the account book is correct..."

Pah!

Xiao Lan'er threw the account book in her hand heavily on the table, which frightened Xiao Yuanlang and the rest of the words were all stuck in his throat.

"The account book is fine, but you have a problem."

Xiao Lan'er's pretty face was gloomy, and she said in a cold voice: "Now refugees from all directions are all flocking to Kyoto. From yesterday to now, the refugee camp outside the city has received more than 5,000 refugees!"

"In a few days, the number of refugees in the entire capital will probably exceed 100,000."

"You are now supplying more than 100 dan of grain a day. If the number of disaster victims exceeds 100,000, the daily grain supply will be more than 1,000 dan."

"One thousand dan a day, 10,000 dan in ten days... and the entire Ministry of Revenue can only allocate 5,000 dan of grain in Kyoto."

"In other words, according to your current supply, the entire Ministry of Revenue can only supply disaster relief grain for ten days at most!"

"What about ten days later? What will you do after ten days?"

Xiao Yuanlang naturally knew these situations, and he has been actively solving problems in the past few days.

Now hearing his sister's question, Xiao Yuanlang pulled his head back and whispered, "I have asked my men to start buying food..."

"Stupid!"

Xiao Lan'er stared at Xiao Yuanlang with her beautiful eyes and scolded, "What Xu An said about universal disaster relief means that the people of Kyoto will try their best to help the victims within their capacity."

"You buy food? How much food is needed to supply 100,000 people? Besides, 100,000 people is just a conservative number!"

"I asked you to provide disaster relief because I want you to help the victims out of trouble, not to drag the entire Kyoto into the vortex!"

Xiao Lan'er stood up, her pretty face was very ugly.

She walked around the room twice. Due to the suppression of her blood, Xiao Yuanxuan didn't dare to refute a word.

"Let the people of Kyoto, who are not rich to begin with, support hundreds of thousands of victims outside the city. Do you know what the consequences are?"

"The consequence is that prices in Kyoto will soar, and food, medicine, cloth...all materials will soar. What will you do then?"

Xiao Lan'er's voice was calm, but it was full of endless coldness.

Xiao Yuanlang lowered his head and said, "It's the common people who have no food. The noble families have stored food, and we can buy it from them..."

Xiao Lan'er turned her head suddenly, staring at Xiao Yuanlang with disappointment in her beautiful eyes.

"Is this your solution? Put your hope on those noble families?"

She said with some regret: "Why do you think those noble families will sell you food at a fair price? They sell it to the people of Kyoto at double or even ten times the price, isn't it better to sell it to you?"

"Even if they are willing to sell, how much money can your broken East Palace pay for it?"

"Do you want my father to issue an order to force the treasury to give you all the reserve silver? Can we still defend against the Northern Di? Can we still pay the military salary? Can we still feed the soldiers?"

Xiao Yuanlang's pretty face changed, and he was choked.

He really didn't think so much, he just wanted the people outside the city to survive.

Looking at Xiao Yuanlang's appearance, Xiao Lan'er got angry.

In the past, she always felt that Xu An was half as good as her brother, so it was okay to marry him.

Now, she felt that if her brother was half as smart as Xu An, he would not have been schemed to this extent.

"You were schemed."

Xiao Lan'er looked at the dazed Xiao Yuanlang and said unhappily: "Father used Xu An to disrupt the situation because he wanted to centralize power, control the court, and control the capital."

"If the refugees outside the city get out of control and the people in the city are disappointed...all the efforts of father and Xu An will be in vain."

"Xu An used a piece of wood to make the court regain the trust of the people, and the people who secretly manipulated the victims wanted to use a civil uprising to disrupt all of father's plans."

"It's really vicious, and you...are already his accomplice."

Xiao Yuanlang raised his head suddenly and looked at Xiao Lan'er in disbelief.

After accepting the disaster relief, he only wanted to heal the victims, and never thought that this would be someone else's plan.

"I... I didn't expect this to happen."

"If you had thought of this, would you still be you?"

Xiao Lan'er's pretty face was cold, and she said: "Adjust the plan now, reduce the supply of food, and free up enough time for us to think of a countermeasure."

"I'm afraid this won't work..."

Xiao Yuanlang shook his head and said weakly: "Royal sister, I have already promised the victims that I will guarantee the supply of food. Suddenly reducing the supply of food willIf I respond, it may cause riots. "

"Moreover, if what the imperial sister said is true and I have fallen into the trap, the other party may not let me get what I want. At that time, rumors will be spread that the refugees want to snatch food from the people of Kyoto, and there will probably be chaos inside and outside the city."

Although Xiao Yuanlang is sometimes a little stubborn, he is not a fool.

After listening to Xiao Lan'er's words, he immediately reacted and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Once a food crisis occurs, the entire Kyoto will instantly fall into panic and chaos.

At that time, let alone disaster relief, Kyoto will be unable to take care of itself. Thinking of the consequences, Xiao Yuanlang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh? Not stupid now?"

Xiao Lan'er's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm.

Heh, at this end, this guy has come to his senses.

Xiao Yuanlang was embarrassed for a moment.

"The amount of food must be controlled."

Xiao Lan'er pondered for a moment and said, "As for how to control it, you can control it yourself, at least it must be controlled within a reasonable range. "

"Your full supply is not called disaster relief, it's called squandering!"

"As for how to solve the food problem... find Xu An!"

Xiao Yuanlang's lips twitched slightly.

After talking for so long, you just came to analyze the situation with me?

In the end, how to solve the problem, you still have to find Xu An... Things that this guy intervenes in are not necessarily good things. Haven't you seen that the emperor is sometimes furious?

"Your Highness, a woman broke into the palace with your majesty's gold medal. "

At this time, the guards of the East Palace rushed in and bowed.

Breaking into the palace with a gold medal? Xiao Lan'er and Xiao Yuanlang's faces changed.

Gold medals are exclusive to the emperor and represent the emperor's authority. Apart from the emperor, only those with great merit can be awarded.

Who is this woman? How can she have a gold medal?

Xiao Yuanlang and Xiao Lan'er looked at each other and walked out quickly.

As soon as they went out, they saw a woman in a purple dress standing in the yard, holding a gold medal in her hand:

"My name is Song Yuyan, a friend of Young Master Xu, I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Young Master Xu is in trouble, send troops to rescue him quickly!"
