A grain store in a prosperous place in the capital.
All I saw was that a large group of people surrounded the place, including many businessmen.
They shouted angrily and looked very angry.
"Shameless! A natural disaster and a man-made disaster, you actually took this opportunity to directly increase the price of food?"
"That's right! You grain merchants are so shameless."
"Why do you do this! Just take it. The price is ridiculously expensive. Ordinary people can't afford to eat. We are not disaster victims."
"Yes! If you set the price so high, what if we can't afford it? What if we starve to death? Not to mention the victims, who can't even afford to eat. Why do you do this?"
"get out!"
"..."
Hearing their angry tones, Lu Yun and Liang Jing came closer and took a rough look.
Knowing what is going on, whether you should say it or not, is indeed abominable!
The people in the capital can hardly afford to eat! what is this?
At that time, prices were so high that people were panicking. Are they really going to starve to death?
These businessmen have actually raised the price of food to such an expensive level at this time.
Lu Yun didn't say anything, just walked forward and asked angrily.
"I ask you!"
"You sell grain for more money than silver! What do you want to do?"
The waiter took a look and said, "Oh, please stop making fun of me, I can't make the decision on this kind of thing!
I'm just a waiter, a clerk in a store. If it doesn't work, you go to other stores and have a look. "
At this moment, the owner of the grain store came out. He glanced at the scene and said coldly, "Everyone, there is nothing we can do. I don't set the price of grain."
"I can hardly afford to eat here. There isn't much food to begin with. I only have a little bit left here. If you don't believe me, come in and see for yourself."
"There's really no way around this!"
"There is not much food left, so the price can only go higher."
“In this time of war and chaos, I really didn’t raise the price so high on purpose, it’s just because food is scarce.
We all know that things are rare but valuable. If I can do anything, you should please take them back.
If that doesn't work, you can eat disaster relief meals from the court. "
"..."
For a moment, Lu Yun was a little angry, and he even wanted to rush forward and beat up the grain merchant!
No wonder these merchants need to be restricted. Once they are not restricted, they will become even more lawless and raise prices at will, especially those things that the people need.
These businessmen are so shameless!
Lu Yun felt disgusted when he thought of this.
On the side, Liang Jing also frowned, feeling very unhappy, but there was nothing he could say about this matter.
The two of them left quickly and wandered around the street casually.
Liang Jing has always had some grudges about this matter.
"Xiao Yunzi, the price of food is so high that the people can hardly afford to eat. What should we do?"
"We can't just arrest these businessmen and take them away by force, right?"
"I'm afraid this is not good."
Lu Yun sighed, "In this matter, I can only say that these businessmen have gone too far!"
"The court still needs to carefully control this price."
"The yamen need to be monitored in real time. The prices in these stores, especially things like this, are closely related to most ordinary people."
"Once the price is too high, it may have a huge impact on the people."
"this……"
Liang Jing hesitated.
I really had never thought about it this way before. Soon the two of them visited several grain stores. Basically, the situation was like this, and the price of grain became very high.
It is indeed a bit expensive for most people. If people have food at home, it might be better.
But this is the capital, and most people don't have it. Some people want to come here to buy some food and go back, and make a fortune in places where wars have been fought.
This is also an opportunity!
"Hey, it seems like this everywhere."
"I have to think of a way."
In this way, the two of them found a street stall, had a meal, and quickly returned to the palace.
At this time, in the palace.
Ye Jiajia often wears dragon robes and feels very weird.
This feeling is very strange!
It felt like she was an emperor, but she didn't dare to think too much.
Just at this moment, a voice appeared outside, "Your Majesty, are you there?"
"His Majesty……"
Outside the main hall, Mr. Liu was guarding.
He quickly explained, "Ms. Concubine Shu, Your Majesty is not feeling well right now, so please come back."
"Ah? Your Majesty, why did you feel unwell all of a sudden? Please let me in quickly!"
Show me what's wrong with Your Majesty. If you don't let me in, I will force my way in. "
Eunuch Liu was also helpless. He didn't know what happened to His Majesty.
All I know is that His Majesty said that no one should be allowed in just by lying that he is sick.
Eunuch Liu had no choice but to do as he was told. He just hoped that no one would come, but he didn't expect that Concubine Shu would appear here by such a coincidence.
How on earth is this good?
Ye Jiajia was sitting inside at this time, feeling a little scared in her heart. Maybe she would be discovered by the concubine Shu, but this kind of thing must not happen.
She quickly changed her voice, and after it sounded almost like the emperor, she said quickly.
"My beloved, please don't come in. I'm not in good health right now. Please come in again after a while."
Xiao Mei was quite surprised when she heard this. What happened to Your Majesty all of a sudden?
"Your Majesty, are you really sick? Do you want me to ask the imperial doctor to come over and give your Majesty a good look? This kind of thing cannot be delayed, Your Majesty."
"It's okay. It'll be fine in a while. I won't be able to hold it any longer after a while. I'll call the doctor again. You'd better leave quickly. I don't want to see anyone right now."
Xiao Mei just felt very confused. For some reason, she always felt that His Majesty's voice inside sounded a little strange... as if it was another person. But after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing she could do.
After a while, Lu Yun walked into the hall with a man wearing Xichang clothes. He was dressed similarly to Ye Jiajia.
Most people will mistakenly think that it is Ye Jiajia, Miss Ye.
When they returned to the main hall, Ye Jiajia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are finally back."
"I was scared to death just now. Concubine Shu suddenly wanted to come in. I hope she has something to talk to Your Majesty."
Liang Jing smiled and said, "What can happen to her? It's just the same purpose as the queen, if I'm not wrong."
"Okay, let's change it quickly."
"But Miss Ye just put on the emperor's clothes and how did it feel to dress up as the emperor? Didn't you think it was pretty good?"
Ye Jiajia shook his head: "Not at all."
"These clothes are too bulky, and it's definitely not good for you to be the only one in this empty hall."
