Emperor Jing looked at Li Yuanzhao in surprise.
Unexpectedly, he has grown so much in just a short period of time and has become much more considerate.
It seems that Fang Zhengyi really taught him carefully!
Fang Zhengyi was also surprised.
The prince is really talented, and everyone has this kind of understanding ability. It seems that the effect of the market teaching on life is good.
From now on, I can let go and wander around, why not leave all other work to the prince.
Delightful!
At this time, Zhang Shi was of course dissatisfied. He had seen food shortages several times at his age, but he was repeatedly refuted by the prince and Fang Zheng.
He immediately said loudly: "What His Highness said is reasonable, but not comprehensive enough."
"Grain is the foundation of the country. Grain merchants of all sizes in Dajing are recorded in the register. Don't dare to disobey the government's orders to release grain. If you do it for personal gain and bend the law, you will be seeking death."
"Secondly, the government can ban all grain-related activities. Grain dealers can only sell grain and are not allowed to sell it with other items or give it away. There will be no hidden dangers under the forced order."
"These methods have been routine for many years. Your Highness is overly worried."
Fang Zheng immediately interrupted and said loudly: "There must be more fish slipping through the net than caught in the net! How can Mr. Zhang be sure that it will be effective!"
"Fang Zhengyi! You are so messy!" Zhang Shi finally got fed up.
Are you done yet?
"Okay, okay! No need to argue anymore, I already know your opinions!" Emperor Jing impatiently knocked on the table.
"Since the two sides are in a stalemate, those who support Fang Zhengyi please raise your hands."
After Emperor Jing finished speaking, Li Yuanzhao was the first to raise his hand, followed by Yang Fengfan.
"Those who support Zhang Shi, please raise your hands."
A crowd of people raised their hands,
Emperor Jing's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted loudly: "Fang Zhengyi, what are you raising your hand for!"
Yang Fengfan and Li Yuanzhao felt stabbed in the back at the same time.
Fang Zheng put down his hand angrily.
I'm not very popular! I'm sure no one agrees with me. Raising my hand still seems safe and more gregarious... Instinct reaction, instinct reaction....
Emperor Jing calmed down.
"Okay! Then follow what Zhang Shi said! Send an order to all places to open warehouses and release grain to stabilize prices!"
.............................
Inside a private house in Jianjiang City.
Twenty-five people from Taoyuan County gathered in the room, and the atmosphere was silent.
The leader was named Xie Xian. He was wearing a Confucian robe and was holding a piece of letter paper in his hand. He read it several times before putting it down.
Someone asked curiously: "What did the master say?"
Xie Xian spread his hands and said, "Master said we were spending public funds and did nothing. Go back and give us good things to eat."
"Those who want to go back to Taoyuan County can go back directly now."
"Fuck! I haven't done anything for more than two months, and I just bought a house. What good things can I get when I go back?"
Xie Xian sighed: "Eat or not... I am not sure that I will not be severely punished. After all, God's will... Since the master asked us to go back, it means that he can't do anything about this matter."
"I want to go back. I want to go back to the county to eat fried chicken and drink milk tea... I shouldn't have come to this damn place!" The person who spoke was named Lian Gui.
"Hiss~ What kind of penalty do you think can be imposed on the consumption of public funds? We have never been so miserable in all these years of running business for the master, and we didn't do anything!"
Xie Xian glanced at him and said: "Haha, there is no physical pain. Eighty percent of the time, he was stripped naked and hung on the city wall for three days, serving delicious food and drinks."
"Eat, drink, and defecate. If you dare to drop it on the ground...then you're done. Just wait for Zhang Biao to take care of you."
Lian Gui shouted angrily: "Damn it, isn't that the same as death?"
"No! We have to get something done this time!"
Someone said: "That's right. If you go back in disgrace, how will you behave in the county in the future? If you leave like this, my wife will have to remarry."
Xie Xian said helplessly: "The master said everything about people, just obey the destiny. If the destiny is like this, we can do something about it."
Lian Gui's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! Let's face it, someone must be doing something wrong with the price of food in the market! What kind of destiny is this? When we first came here, the price of sweet potatoes dropped as soon as the news came out."
"Since there is a grain merchant doing something evil, let's just rob him and be done with it. It's not like we've done it before!"
"If you don't grab food, how can you think of all the personnel?"
"That makes sense!" "That makes sense!" "It makes sense!"....
"Bang!" Xie Xian slammed the table and said angrily: "What nonsense! You have been running business for several years and you still think we are bandits!? The master is now an official in the capital. What will the master do if things get serious? !”
"Besides, if the government finds out that someone is robbing food, our heads will be the first to fall."
Lian Gui looked at Xie Xian sideways: "Damn it, Lao Xie, you came late and got into trouble with us!"
"You really don't know what we do! I'm a bandit!"
Then Lian Gui stretched out his hand and pointed at several people one by one.
"Shen Zhaoxuan, leader of the cult."
"Bai Rui, a habitual thief"
"Dug diggers, grave robbers."
"My name is Wei Cai, but you called me Diquzi? That's what I called you!" Wei Cai looked angry.
"You said that people like us, who lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife in the early years, have never been afraid of trouble! Isn't it just a matter of grabbing food... If this continues, civil unrest will happen soon. .”
"Who will care about us if we cause trouble? Just do it!"
After saying that, Lian Gui crossed his arms with a proud expression on his face.
After Xie Xian heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that everyone could hide their identity after spending so long together. There were usually only five people and six people.
He hesitated and said, "Master, have you ever robbed a tomb?"
Wei Cai said in a low voice, "I've robbed it...but just once. A few years ago, I ran into a tomb robber and the master robbed it, so I robbed it back."
"Then I discovered a big tomb. I was so curious that I had to follow it, but that was the time! The tomb collapsed."
"I've spent half my life robbing tombs and nothing like this has ever happened to me! I'm so greedy. I want to take everything, even the gold teeth. It's retribution..."
Speaking of this, Wei Cai still looked scared.
"If I hadn't had enough experience, everyone would have died at that time, and then I would have quit... I'm afraid."
Xie Xian looked strange after hearing this: "Old Shen, you used to be the leader of a cult."
Shen Zhaoxuan blushed and waved his hands: "There's nothing to say...There's nothing to say..."
Lian Gui grinned: "You're so embarrassed! I know this! Back then, he set up a small cult in Hengjiang City. The master made dozens of roast chickens and all his followers rebelled! Haha! Ha ha!"
Shen Zhaoxuan was ashamed and angry: "Aren't you hungry? I don't have any money, and the people below are hungry and crazy, so you can do what you want?!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Xie Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, rubbing his brows: "Don't make trouble, everyone, think of a solution quickly, or we can go home!"
