"To Your Majesty and Queen." Grand Master Xie followed up with a toast. Apart from Yang Shu, there was no other male in the Yang family. This situation was against the rules, so we could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Your Majesty and Queen." Zheng Lan said respectfully. Everyone was respectful, but she couldn't be different.
"Don't be cautious, open it up and eat." Yang Shu greeted with a smile.
Duke Zhongguo and Zheng Lan were not polite. They each took away one of the wings of the roasted chicken.
Grand Master Xie and Xiangshu He were very gentle.
Looking at the two people who were almost in sync with each other, Yang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly. Did the Duke of Zhongguo and the Grand Master really have the wrong child?
But Xie Yuanjin is a few years younger than He Xiangshu.
After a harmonious meal, Zheng Lan left Huining County that night. If he didn't expand his business, he would not be able to keep up with Yang Shu's pace.
The king's affection is limited. If you can't provide him with what he wants, he will find someone else.
Having already invested so much, Zheng Lan will never allow the bamboo basket to fetch water in vain.
Yang Shu held Lu Yun's hand, "Zhongguo Gong and Xie Taishi do not object, and the others cannot make trouble."
"If anyone is disrespectful, just show off. There is a place in the prison, so just pretend."
Lu Yun held Yang Shu back and smiled softly, with a firm look in her eyes. She would stabilize the rear and not let trivial matters entangle his feet.
After sending Lu Yun back to Huanhe Courtyard, Yang Shu went to the study.
He left this time without knowing the date of his return. Qinzhou's defense must be as tight as possible.
Outside the Prince of Qin's Mansion, a man wrapped in a turban was holding a cloth bag. He looked at Prince Qin's guard. He took two quick steps, approached the steps, and threw away the cloth bag in his hand.
The sound of the scraping of copper plates was particularly loud in the night, and the man ran away. As soon as Qin Wangwei chased him out, he had disappeared.
"It's money." The guard looking at the bag said loudly.
"He ran away, do you want to chase him?"
"After catching up with him, he will throw it away. It's obviously a gift to the king. You guys keep watch. I'll go talk to the Ninth Manager and see how to deal with it."
Qin Wangwei ran to the steps to find Pai Gow.
…
In the hut, the woman stopped the man and said, "Come back. How much are these earrings worth? Take them with you." The woman said and took off the earrings.
The man frowned, "You, Ping'er, like these silver earrings the most. You can't even bear to take them off when you sleep..."
"No matter what, just take it if you are told. Xiaohu can study and the family can have hot meals. Nothing is given by the king. As human beings, we must have a conscience."
The woman pushed the man out and said, "If you can't send him out, don't come back."
…
"Mom, that's enough. My son can't carry it anymore."
Next to a small bag of broken silver was a large bag of bacon, which was as tall as a man.
"I can put two more pieces here." The old woman muttered to herself, tied the bag, and followed her son with a stick and a bag of freshly baked flatbreads.
…
"I bought it two days ago. You see it's not open yet. I'll give you a refund, even half of it." The old man rubbed his hands and begged the shopkeeper with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Didn't you quit gambling?" The shopkeeper frowned.
"It's not gambling. Didn't you hear those gentlemen say that Yizhou and other places are in dire straits and need a lot of food and money? All the money in the treasury is spent on building bridges, paving roads, and building schools. How can the king still get it? I'm afraid he is worried. ."
"We have benefited, so we should do our best." The old man pushed the wine, "You won't die if you don't drink it. It's uncomfortable to be hungry."
The shopkeeper took out the broken silver and said, "Take it, I won't give it back next time."
"Hey, hey." The old man responded repeatedly, grabbing the silver and walking out in a hurry.
In Prince Qin's Mansion, the guard couldn't move his eyes as he looked at the piled bags. What's going on?
"Where is the Ninth Manager?" the guard asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, it should be coming soon."
"There are more and more people."
"Can we stop this?" the guard pointed towards the crowd.
There's a queue, and you can't even see the end!
Pai Gow ran to the door. Seeing this scene, he couldn't even breathe.
"Manager Ninth, step back."
The guard pulled the Pai Gow, and the thing fell over, burying a brother. It took three people to pull it out, but his pants were gone.
While they were talking, they retreated to the gate. There was no place to stand outside, and the packages piled up into a spreading mountain.
"Oh my God!"
Fang Zhuang raised his head and exclaimed, "Where did this mountain come from!"
"Mom, you can still move!" A small package rolled to Fang Zhuang's feet, making him jump in fright.
"Your Majesty, this is terrible!" Fang Zhuang shouted as he ran towards the study.
Guan Ce, who was alerted by the sound, came out to check the situation.
The gate has been closed, and Qin Wangwei moved a big pillar to hold it up.
After a quick glance, Guan Ce climbed up the wall of the mansion.
"Sir!" Pai Gow glanced at Guan Ce and shouted, "Come down quickly, it's dangerous!"
The next second, Guan Ce was piled up by the collapsed "mountain".
"Help!"
"Hurry and save people!"
Pai Gow organized Qin Wangwei to move the bags.
Yang Shu looked at this scene in shock, and Lu Yun and Liu Yun were also stunned.
How many people are here? How many were given?
"teacher?"
Seeing Pai Gow dragging Guan Ce out, Lu Yun went to check on him.
"Ahem." Guan Ce covered his chest with shock in his eyes. He waved away Pai Gow's supporting hand and stumbled to the sentry tower.
The people were like ants, coming from all directions, and no one was empty-handed.
The bags were stacked up and down, and it was obvious that they were trying very hard to get closer to Prince Qin's Mansion, but the road was blocked.
Standing in the distance were those who had finished delivering the things. Before they left, they knelt down and paid homage to Prince Qin's Mansion.
No one is organized, but there is no chaos. Everyone helps each other.
The moonlight was bright, and Guan Ce could see their faces clearly. They had given away all their belongings, but they all had smiles in their eyes and full of vitality in their bodies.
Guan Ce held on to the pillar and felt dazed for the first time. He pressed three fingers on his chest. Guan Ce spit out blood and sat on the ground. He murmured in a low voice, "What the hearts of all people want."
"This has never happened before, never before..."
Yang Shu also went up to the sentry tower and couldn't hide his shock when he looked at the bags that spread hundreds of meters.
Guan Ce stood up, grabbed Yang Shu's wrist, and felt the bones inch by inch.
"The people's hearts are so condensed, how come you don't have the title of emperor!" Guan Ce roared.
Yang Shu was speechless. Is this his fault? Is it something he can have if he wants to?
"Don't go crazy, go and rest." Yang Shu pushed Guan Ce away.
"How could this be so? How could this be so?" Guan Ce's eyes were changing in light and dark, and he kept murmuring.
Yang Shu ignored him, clenched his hands into fists and put them against his nose. He really wanted to cry.
What other emperors had to rob to get, these people were afraid of not giving him enough.
Each bag is full of weight. Where is the food, it is clearly the heart!
Yang Shu thought of many ways to make money, but there was no one like this.
But the most impossible thing is right in front of us.
The silver and grain crisis is solved.
Yang Shu couldn't hold it back anymore, lowered his head and cried.
Lu Yun stood on the stairs and stopped.
…
"Chuan'er, we have taken the right step again." Qiu Guan said quietly from the outside of the crowd.
"This is the first time in all dynasties that the people have given everything to the king. With the people's hearts so united, nothing can be accomplished."
"Go back and beat the younger members of the clan, and you must not be arrogant or arrogant outside." Qiu Guan calmed his expression.
Qiu Chuanan nodded, his eyes falling on the continuous "peaks", and he couldn't move away for a long time.
