The common people did not know about Tokugawa Ichiro's arrival, and even if they knew about it, they would not think much of it.
However, Yan Qi used Mao Shiba to collect all the information clearly, without missing a single bit.
Of course, Mao Shiba, a guy who loves money, also received a lot of commission from Yan Qi.
…
The food supply in Jinling is becoming increasingly tight, and the food reserves are only enough for three more days.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Among the basic necessities of life, food is the most important.
There is a saying that goes well: when you are full and warm, you will think about lust.
If you can't have a full stomach, you won't even have any evil thoughts.
Di Renfeng went around putting out the fire, trying his best to get the major grain merchants to buy grain from other places, but at most only half of them could enter Jinling, and the other half was snatched away.
Rather, it was so easy to snatch away, almost irresistible, and even changing the route was of no use.
Di Renfeng is going crazy.
Leng Youxue is also very busy and stays out all night. She is a good-looking ice beauty who looks haggard and has red eyes, which is pitiful.
At the same time, Yan Qi also received news that several state capitals in Jiangsu were in the same situation, especially in Suzhou. Deng Hong was robbed several times and was so angry that he couldn't bear to fall ill.
Everything is so strange.
I want to investigate, but I have no clue.
Come without a trace, go without a trace.
I don’t know where the food went.
Even Zhao Qing, who is as strong as Zhao Qing, is anxious and upset.
Zhao Qing is the governor of Jiangsu, and the transfer order from the Ministry of Rites has been issued. As long as the matter in Jiangsu is resolved, he can go to the Ministry of Rites and take office.
However, how could it be possible to hand it over when something as big as a food shortage occurred?
No one will take it over to whomever I leave it to, who should be considered a fool.
Once this matter is not handled well and people starve to death, it will be a fatal stain, and there is no way to improve the etiquette department.
Moreover, Zhao Qing is an ambitious and responsible official, how can he watch the people suffer?
Zhao Qing immediately asked officials from surrounding provinces for help.
However, just a few days ago, all the grain in the warehouses of the surrounding provinces had been allocated to the capital, and was sent from the capital to northern Xinjiang to become military rations.
In other words, there is no more food in the official warehouses.
Even if he wanted to help, it was of no avail.
Everything is such a coincidence.
The official granaries are empty, so we can only rely on large private households to store grain.
However, the robbers were rampant and could not be caught, which made Zhao Qing very anxious.
Zhao Qing thought about it and wrote a letter asking for help to Yan Qi.
Yan Qi only wrote four words: "I am responsible for everything!"
Later, he asked his close associate to take the letter back.
Three days later.
The official granary of Jinling finally announced.
The people suddenly panicked.
Everyone comes to buy food, but the food disappears without warning. Who can not be anxious?
Everyone gathered in front of the granary and refused to leave.
Some people even want to burn down the granary.
Di Renfeng was also in a panic all morning and ran to Yan Qi's house to report the situation. He hadn't explained clearly yet. Hearing that the people in the granary were causing trouble, he didn't care about anything and rushed over to guide everyone to calm down.
Di Renfeng was very panicked and begged Yan Qi to come with him.
At the same time, he also quickly transferred Leng Youxue, fearing that the people would gather to make trouble.
With Yan Qi supporting him, he could stay calmer.
Di Renfeng comforted everyone, but no one would listen. They were noisy and cursed one after another.
Yan Qi said nothing, standing on a high place and looking around.
He has sharp eyes, is farsighted, and has unique powers of observation.
Soon, he found that there were about a dozen people mixed in the crowd, waiting for opportunities to make noises and set the pace.
Yan Qi secretly remembered these people and whispered to Leng Youxue: "You can go investigate these people. Who are they? Just ask in secret, don't alert the snake."
Leng Youxue nodded and handed over the task.
Di Renfeng worked for a long time, but could not stabilize the situation.
Those rhythm guys really have some skills.
At the critical moment, a few words from the clang sounded like thunder on the ground, and everyone's calm mood became anxious again, and they started to make noise again. '
It seems that these guys are professionals.
Yan Qi didn't stop him, and now was not the time to stop him. There was no harm in letting everyone vent.
Moreover, he concluded with absolute certainty that these guys who were lurking in the crowd and driving the rhythm definitely had an ulterior motive, and they would definitely reveal their fox tail later.
In the midst of the commotion, a gong was heard to clear the way.
Then, the rhythmic group immediately started shouting loudly.
"Look, Lord Fuyin is here, Jia Fuyin is here."
"Jia Fuyin, there is no food, you have to make the decision for us."
"Jia Fuyin is our food and clothing parent."
…
A group of people rushed towards Judd, knelt down and kowtowed.
Yan Qi's heart was as bright as a mirror, and he smiled calmly: "Master Di, look, the white face has finished singing, and the red face has appeared."
Di Renfeng sighed, looking depressed.
Yan Qi consoled him: "The battle between masters has just begun. What are you afraid of? Aren't you with me?"
Di Renfeng cheered up: "I'm still confused now. This stick really knocked me out."
Many people knelt in front of Judd's sedan chair, and there was a lot of cheering.
Judd got out of the sedan in a panic, quickly helped everyone up, and asked kindly: "Oh, get up quickly, what's going on? You're so good, why do you suddenly become so pitiful?"
"Jia Fuyin, you have to make the decision for us."
Everyone cried and talked about the lack of food.
"Lack of food? No food in the granary? Something bad is going to happen?"
Jiade was extremely angry and led the people towards Di Renfeng with a fierce look in his eyes: "Master Di, I have already given you full responsibility for the economy and people's livelihood. How do you do things? Huh?"
Di Renfeng looked embarrassed: "I..."
Jiade asked bluntly: "The food issue is a top priority. It is related to the people's livelihood. We must not be careless. We should put it first and take full responsibility. However, there is actually a shortage of food in Jinling, and there is no grain in the official granary. You... you... How did you become the Prime Minister? You are derelict in your duties. You are derelict in your duties. You...are you worthy of the people's high expectations of you? Are you worthy of the trust that I have placed in you? Lord Di, in front of the people , please give an explanation immediately. Say it, you should say it."
"I……"
What can Di Renfeng say? He hesitated and couldn't say a word.
Di Renfeng's face was red and her ears were red, and she bowed to everyone, with tears in her eyes that she managed not to fall down.
Those who were booing in the crowd were furious.
"Everyone, you heard it. Jia Fuyin has long delegated the power to govern people's livelihood to Di Renfeng. However, Di Renfeng is just a mediocre official and cannot bear such a heavy burden at all."
"That's right, Di Renfeng is incompetent and still greedy for power. It's really abominable for such a person to live in a state of disgrace."
"In the past, when Jia Fuyin had full power to manage people's livelihood, had there ever been a food shortage? Even if it happened, Jia Fuyin would solve it quickly. Why would everyone be so panicked? Say one thousand, say ten thousand, or Di people Feng is incompetent, and compared with Jia Fuyin, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes."
