What Han Du did has spread throughout the capital. After all, many people have only heard about the drama of snatching a bride, but have never seen it with their own eyes.
Especially the exciting thing like robbing the emperor's daughter made the people excited and talked about it as if they had been given blood.
The Han family is falling into an atmosphere of despair. Han De, Liu, Han Jingyun, and Han Shu have gathered together to discuss.
However, after deliberation for a long time, no solution was found.
When everyone was at a loss what to do, Uncle Mu rushed in.
"Master, Master, he..."
"What's wrong with him?" Hande thought there was some bad news, his face suddenly tightened, and he asked nervously.
"The young master is back..." Uncle Mu managed to catch his breath. When he saw Han Du, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. He hurriedly ran in to report to the master. He was very tired from running all the way.
"What!" Han De stood up suddenly, "Are you telling the truth?"
He committed such a big crime and still managed to come back? Are you kidding yourself to be happy? Hande couldn't believe it.
But before Uncle Mu could explain again, Han Du calmly walked in from the door.
"Mom, dad, and sister Han Shu, are you all here?"
When Han De saw his son coming back, he still couldn't believe what he was seeing. He blinked and shook his head before looking at Han Du intently.
He walked forward a few steps, grabbed Han Du's arm, and kept grabbing and squeezing. Then he sighed and said: "Are you really back? You did such a big thing, how could the emperor let you back so easily?"
Han De still had some idea of what kind of person the emperor was. At first, he just wrote a letter to persuade him, but he almost ended up being executed. Logically speaking, whether he wrote the letter or for the good of Ming Dynasty, he could end up in that situation. And what Han Du did in this matter was simply to slap mud on the emperor's face. How could the emperor endure it?
Han De suddenly realized that he had never understood the emperor.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled faces, Han Du asked nonchalantly: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Du'er, you committed such a thing, and the emperor just let you come back?" Ms. Liu's eyes widened and she looked at Han Du in disbelief.
Han Du smiled but didn't answer yet.
Hande on the side couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but asked: "Du'er, aren't you in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? What on earth is going on?"
Seeing that everyone was confused, Han Du sat down and said slowly: "Originally, I was put in prison, but then the emperor summoned me, asked me some things, and let me come back."
"So simple?" Hande was the first to not believe it.
Han Du smiled flatteringly, naturally it was not that simple.
If he had not made the revolver, Lao Zhu would not have known the great power of the revolver and its benefits to Ming Dynasty. Can he escape so easily? Just dream.
Seeing that Han Du was unwilling to say more, Han De pretended that there were some things that Han Du couldn't say, so he stopped asking.
"If you can come back, everything will be fine. The other old men don't want to know, so just let it be."
Liu and others also gave up questioning. What Han De said was reasonable. No matter what happens, as long as Han Du can come back, everything will be fine.
...
The next day, according to the speculations of several ministers, the emperor would definitely issue an order to marry Handu as soon as possible. But although Lao Zhu issued the decree, it was not to grant Han Du a marriage.
Outside Chengtian Gate, the eunuch read out Lao Zhu's imperial edict in front of everyone and hung it up to announce it to the world.
The emperor encouraged mulberry farming, called on people all over the world to plant cotton, and priced the purchase at a minimum of eighty cents per catty and a maximum of one hundred and twenty cents per catty. As soon as the news came out, the people watching below were excited and asked about the people around them.
The common people already know what price-fixing purchase means after the last royal price-fixing purchase of grain. According to the official statement, the reason for purchasing at a fixed price is because the emperor is kind and sympathizes with farmers who are eager to grow crops, so he gives farmers a minimum price guarantee.
When the grain was purchased for the first time, the royal family actually did not receive much grain, but the price at which the farmers sold the grain actually increased a lot. The profit of grain is not low at all, but it used to be a buyer's market. As soon as the grain goes on the market, grain merchants try their best to lower the price, causing farmers' income to shrink significantly. The people were helpless about this. Apart from selling it to these grain merchants, they could not find a second buyer for the grain in their hands. Even if there were, they would be the same as these grain merchants.
However, after the royal family stepped forward to price the acquisition, the people not only had one more choice, but also formed a silver carp effect. If the prices offered by grain merchants are low, there will simply be no farmers to sell grain to them. Even if their pricing is the same as that of the royal family, farmers will only sell grain to the royal family and not to them because of their trust in the royal family.
If these grain merchants want to continue doing this business, they must give up their profits and pay a higher price than the royal purchase price in order to receive grain. Otherwise, there is no way for their business to continue.
Last year, the people's grain was sold at an unprecedentedly high price. This made the people happy, and they also really thought about the emperor's kindness.
Although Lao Zhu pacified the world and allowed the people to live a peaceful life, he was supported by the people. But this support will become less and less as time goes by. After all, the topic of world peace is too high-level for the common people, so big that they only have a vague concept in their minds.
But the royal family's purchase of grain at fixed prices was different. This was a real profit that could be pocketed. The emperor can increase their income, so how can they not appreciate the good things of this emperor?
Lao Zhu naturally knew about these situations, and he was still very surprised at the beginning. It was completely unexpected that just spending a small amount of money would have such an effect. Han Du's actions showed Lao Zhu a kind of ingenuity that even Lao Zhu could not help but admire.
Now cotton is the second thing to be purchased by the royal family, and the price is almost doubled. This made all the people who heard the news feel hot in their hearts.
With the experience of purchasing grain in mind, no one doubts that the cotton they grow will not be sold at a high price.
The higher the expectations for the future, the more natural it will be to guide people to grow cotton.
Han Du has been staying at home quietly for the past two days, and has not even been to the Baobao Lifting Department and the Jiaofang Department.
