Chapter 465

Su Cha, as a businessman, knows the situation of the major businesses in Dongwen like the palm of his hand, but it will take a little time to find out how much money they have earned in this bid up of grain prices.

Su Cha was afraid of Lin Chujiu. When she found out the situation behind the major grain merchants, she immediately asked someone to send it to Lin Chujiu first, so that Lin Chujiu could think of countermeasures.

Although the regimes of Dongwen, Xiwu and other four countries are independent, there is a shadow of the central Empire behind both economy and politics. For example, the price of grain is largely controlled by several aristocratic families of the central empire.

After every war, the price of grain has to rise, which has become an unwritten rule in many countries. Even the emperor can't interfere.

This time, the rise in food prices is not an exaggeration. Su Cha never thought that the people in the capital would make trouble because of the rise in food prices, and the emperor would reprimand Xiao TIANYAO for this.

Xiao TIANYAO is not responsible for the rise of food prices. It can't be said that food prices are really rising because of his disappearance. But it's too much to put all the responsibility for the rise of food prices on Xiao TIANYAO's head.

However, ordinary people are most easily bewitched by others. Every time the price of food rises, the people lose a lot. Naturally, they are not angry. But they don't know who to hate, because the grain merchants said that many places are short of food, many places are not ethnic, and their food is expensive. It's not their fault. They can't buy it if they think it's too expensive.

This time, the emperor listed one or two or three reasons to prove that the rise in food prices was all Xiao TIANYAO's fault. The ordinary people would believe it if they saw it, and then put their hatred on Xiao TIANYAO.

At this time, if someone with a heart stirs up, it is possible for those people who have suffered heavy losses to gather together and smash King Xiao's house. At that time, Xiao TIANYAO will come back after winning the battle, which is also the sinner of Dongwen. At least Xiao TIANYAO will not be loved by Dongwen people any more.

"Fortunately, the princess didn't accept the edict. Although it's a big crime not to accept the edict, TIANYAO can't turn over after receiving it." The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt.

The emperor's imperial edict fell too suddenly, and they didn't receive any news in advance. If Lin Chujiu hadn't firmly refused to accept the imperial edict, they would have fallen into the emperor's calculation, carrying the name of colluding with unscrupulous businessmen and making war money.

The more she thinks about it, the more terrifying she feels. She can't help writing a letter to Xiao TIANYAO, telling him what happened in Beijing and making him ready in advance.

This time, in order to clear the charge of driving up the price of grain, but offended the central Empire Zhang Jia, they had to make preparations in advance.

Steward Cao successfully got 50000 taels of silver and sent 200000 taels of silver tickets to the Minister of the Ministry of household before the official of the Ministry of household went home. Unfortunately, Liu Shilang, who received the money tickets, happened to be the father of the official who announced today.

"I heard that Princess Xiao didn't receive the order. How can she pay the penalty?" Liu Shilang didn't look at the silver note in the hand of steward Cao, but he made it clear that he would not accept it.

To pay a fine?

Let's get the edict first.

If you don't receive the edict, you can't expect him to accept the penalty!

As soon as he saw it, steward Cao knew that the other party was deliberately looking for fault. He calmly took back the money ticket and said, "we people are just acting according to orders. We can't doubt the master's business. If the master asks us to pay the penalty, we will pay the penalty. Mr. Liu, don't you accept bank notes? "

"Our account department doesn't accept banknotes without names." Liu Shilang refused again, and steward Cao nodded to know, "then I'll ask someone to change it into silver to carry it in?"

"No money Liu Shilang almost tilted his mouth. What do people in King Xiao's residence mean? They can't understand people's words?

No wonder his son can't do a good job. It's not his son's problem. It's the brain problem of the people in King Xiao's residence!

"You don't accept silver or bank notes. Are you going to disobey the order? In the imperial edict, we are required to pay 200000 liang of silver in the house of King Xiao. " Steward Cao shamelessly took the imperial edict to say things, and then patted the silver note on the table, "200000 Liang, I put it here, do you want it or not?"

With that, the head will not go, regardless of the people behind how to call, also ignore

They gave money to the emperor, and they were not afraid of it even when it came to the emperor!

Don't be afraid, because

The emperor laughed when he saw the imperial edict from the Ministry of rites and the bank note from the Ministry of accounts“ Who is going to announce the order in the Ministry of rites? "

"Lord Liu." The Minister of rites dare not hide it.

"What's the relationship between him and Liu Shilang of the Ministry of accounts?" It's not that the emperor has a good memory, but that Liu Shilang, the head of the household department, presented 200000 taels of bank notes. Besides the bank notes, he also wrote a voucher and told the house of King Xiao.

"It's the son of Liu Shilang." The Minister of rites touched the sweat quietly. He was worried, but he didn't want to see the emperor. He said with a smile, "it's good to fight with father and son and fight with tiger brothers."

Emperor, what does that mean?

The Minister of rites took a furtive look at the emperor and saw that the emperor was smiling. Suddenly, he was in a fog: is the emperor not angry if Princess Xiao doesn't take the order?

Did he not understand, or did the emperor not understand?

Lin Chu nine see dark, also don't see the Emperor Xuan she into palace accountability, also want to ask the emperor in the end is what mean?

"Didn't the emperor want to find the Lord's fault and let him lose the love of the people?" Lin Chujiu sat alone in his study, seriously thinking about all kinds of possibilities.

Originally, she was thinking about countermeasures all afternoon, but now if the emperor doesn't come up with a move, her countermeasures can't be used.

"Am I wrong? Is it not the emperor's fault It's not Xiao TIANYAO's fault. What does the emperor mean by this?

If she accepts the imperial edict, Xiao TIANYAO will never be able to clear the charge of collusion with unscrupulous businessmen. But if she doesn't accept the imperial edict now, it means that she doesn't live up to the emperor's wish. Why doesn't the emperor get angry?

"Is it because I want to be left? The emperor's move is not aimed at Xiao TIANYAO, but a unique plan?" The more Lin Chujiu thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong. He jumps up and finds out from a pile of information that Su Cha sent someone to send him in the afternoon about the supporter behind the grain merchant. Lin Chujiu is silly

"I've been shot by the emperor!"

Most of the big grain merchants in Dongwen are in the hands of the central Empire, except for a few Royal relatives. Zhang Jia is one of the biggest grain merchants, and the others are small families. But such families are not to be underestimated in Dongwen.

It can be said that the price of Dongwen's food was completely controlled by the central empire. Even the emperor could only watch the price of food go up without any help.

"It was really taken advantage of!" Lin Chu stroked his forehead and couldn't help crying: Xiao TIANYAO, I've done something wrong, but
