Chapter 1231 (1/2)
The sun in midsummer is like a big ball of fire, shining on the earth hotly, as if to emit all the heat. The leaves on the roadside trees are all rolled in the sun, and a few sparrows standing on the trees are listless.
Yurong shook her fan and said, ”this weather is really killing!”
Red flower said: ”madam, don't add another bowl of ice!” the weather is too hot, but Yu Rong, who began to economize, also put a bowl of ice in the house.
Yurong shook her head and said, ”this ice is so expensive. I don't want it. You'll have two buckets of well water, and I'll wash my face. ” It's getting hotter and hotter. The price of ice has tripled, and it's going to keep rising.
There are two wells in the house, one in the front yard and one in the back yard. The well in the front yard is for the servants of the government. The well in the back yard is for Yurong, Yizheng and Mr. Gao's family.
After washing his face, he wiped his body and changed his clothes, which made Yurong feel more relaxed. Before his ass was hot, he heard Hongyin say that Yizheng was back.
Yurong met his son and asked, ”why is it a holiday today?” I studied with my husband in a private school. His predecessor was a Bachelor of the Academy. He was very talented. There were not many people in the private school, only nine. It's not only because he learned politics well, but also because he received the favor of Jiang Wenrui.
Yizheng said: ”the refugees are making trouble in the West Street. One of my classmates happened to pass by and was injured. I'm afraid that something will happen again, so I'll give us a holiday. ”
Yurong said, ”I said before that if I let these refugees into the city, sooner or later something will happen.” As she had expected, something happened.
Yizheng said, ”Mom, I went to see Grandpa Gao.” He has to tell Grandpa Gao about it.
Half an hour later, Mr. Gao came to see Yurong. Seeing Yurong, Mr. Gao said: ”madam, I'm afraid that the capital will not be peaceful in this period of time. People in the mansion should try not to go out if they can't! ”
Yu Rong asked unexpectedly, ”is it so serious? Are there so many officers and soldiers in the city who can't deal with these refugees? ”
Mr. Gao shook his head and said: ”it's not only the refugees' problem, but now the food is too expensive for ordinary people to afford. In this case, I'm afraid there will be trouble again. ” There was a scramble for food stores last year, which is much worse than last year.
”Listen, sir,” said Yurong After a pause, Yurong said with some heart, ”Sir, do you want to sell all the food we have saved?” This year's drought hit the capital, but it's not serious. It's about 20-30% off. The 800 mu of Yurong also receives more than 200000 Jin of grain. New grain for old grain. Now the grain in the grain depot is the grain stored last year.
As soon as Mr. Gao heard this, he knew that Yurong wanted to make a profit. He didn't object to it, but said: ”madam, according to this trend, the grain will definitely rise. Even if we want to sell food, we have to sell it later. ”
”Yurong said with a smile,” let's sell later! ” Not to mention the grain in the cellar, that is, the grain stored in this house is enough for them to eat for three or five months.
Mr. Gao saw this and said, ”madam, we can only sell grain to those big grain shops, but we can't sell it ourselves.” The price of selling to grain shops must be lower, but it's safe.
Yurong just wanted to make a profit, but she didn't dare to take risks: ”this is what Mr. Gao arranged.” To Mr. Gao, she is very relieved.
Smash, scam, abduct, snatch, similar things emerge in endlessly, making the whole capital panic. This, of course, shocked Yan matchless.
Su Shan, the commander of the forbidden army, said: ”emperor, it's no longer suitable for exiles to enter Beijing. Otherwise, there will be only more such incidents. ” He wants to get rid of all the exiles he put in. But Yan Wushuang didn't speak, and he couldn't speak.
Yan Wushuang thought about it and agreed with Su Shan's suggestion. In addition, he set out an area in the north for the migrants to live in.
Lord Gan, Minister of the Ministry of war, said that we could not let the refugees enter the city, but we could not ignore them. We must provide them with food, and then advise them to return home. Otherwise, if so many refugees rioted outside, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yan matchless nodded his head and said, ”you are right. The refugees outside the city should be settled.”
Geng, the Minister of the Ministry of household, complained that the State Treasury had run out of money, and it was a big expense to settle the refugees. He did not know where to find the money.
After discussing this matter, Yan Wushuang ordered tiekui to lead his soldiers to build huts outside the city for the victims to stay temporarily. In addition, we need to place these victims and maintain public security.
Tiekui took the order, his face as black as the bottom of the pot. Yan Wushuang, the son of a bitch, even asked a second-class general of Yan Wushuang to settle the refugees.
The eunuch who sent the message was a little nervous. He left the barracks without even asking for a reward and went back to Beijing.
When the eunuch reported this, Meng Nian was present. After hearing this, Meng Nian frowned and said, ”tiekui is too presumptuous. The emperor asked him to settle the refugees, but he didn't want to.” In Meng Nian's eyes, the following people should be as loyal to Yan Wudi as he is.
Yan Wushuang said, ”I'm afraid it's because of Pingdingshan, which makes him worry.” He doesn't care if tekui thinks much, as long as he does his job well.
Meng Nian snorted, ”if you want to die, you have to die. But those who let him kill Pingdingshan dare to complain. No wonder the Emperor didn't trust him before. ”
Yan matchless said: ”if everyone is like you, I don't have to work so hard.” After a pause, Yan Wushuang said, ”let's not talk about him. What's the situation in the northwest?”
