Chapter 128: Zhang Jing's attack
Emperor Aoki frowned and became even more worried.
He never expected that things would be so.
Wei Zhongxian got things done like this, but for him, this matter has reached an irreversible point.
Are you expecting all officials in the court to solve this problem?
This is not because Emperor Tianqi looked down on these officials, but because the price of food rose, which was essentially beneficial to these ministers who came from gentry families.
Isn’t it crazy to expect them to suppress food prices?
After thinking about it...
Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhang Jingyi, and said with a serious expression: "Is Zhang Qing's family... a month?"
"One month." Zhang Jingyi said confidently.
It would be impossible to get Zhang Jing to let his military orders be made.
But Zhang Jingyi has to show confidence.
Anyway, don’t lose your head if you can’t do this with me. No matter how you ask me to blow it, you can do it.
"It's important, how dare the humble man play? It's related to the livelihood of the people in the world." Zhang Jingyi also seemed extremely serious at this time: "The humble man must do his best."
Emperor Aoki sighed and said in the end: "You can let go."
Of course, such a big thing cannot be completely pressed on Zhang Jingyi.
Emperor Tianqi's eyes turned and said to Wei Zhongxian again: "Parent Wei."
Wei Zhongxian was still surprised. He never expected that he would ruin the matter, but at this moment, he was busy looking trembling: "I am here."
"The factory guard... still have to think of a way."
"Sister obeys the order."
Emperor Tianqi then looked at Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong again: "The two families are trying their best to do everything. Whether it is the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of War, if they can transfer grain, they must find a way! In addition, they issued an order to all places that if there are gentry and people willing to offer surplus grain, the court will reward them. The granary will be checked again."
The two nodded: "Abide by the order."
Emperor Aoki said, as if he had consumed all his strength, he sat down dejectedly.
This fact is too great, and it affects countless lives.
This is certainly not how Emperor Tianqi loved the people as his son, but as the emperor, Emperor Tianqi knew very well that if he really wanted to cause something, Jiannu had already involved most of the Ming Dynasty's energy and then caused a large-scale civil unrest. At that time... Not to mention solving Jiannu, even the Ming Dynasty would be silly.
Ministers can be traitors, can Emperor Tianqi be Anle Gong?
Everyone received the order and left the Hall of Qinzheng.
Zhang Jing caught up with Wei Zhongxian who was walking fast and said enthusiastically: "Brother Wei...Brother Wei..."
Wei Zhongxian became annoyed when he heard the word "Brother Wei". Who is your brother?
Wei Zhongxian stopped and turned around and smiled: "What, Qingping Bo, is there something wrong?"
"Brother Wei, I'm not targeting you just now. You and I are brothers. It's really urgent and I have to report it."
Wei Zhongxian thrust his face and for a long time, he continued to smile and said, "If it weren't for your reminder, we were really deceived by those profiteers, so we should thank you."
"But I still feel ashamed in my heart, and I always feel very sorry for you. After all, I am young, have no sense of being responsible for doing things, and sometimes I speak recklessly. It is entirely because Brother Wei is magnanimous and does not take it. But I know in my heart that Brother Wei is a kind person and never cares about it. If I have anything wrong with doing it in the future, please forgive me."
Wei Zhongxian was alert.
What does this kid want to do?
Listening to the way you want to harm others.
But I have to say that these words made Wei Zhongxian feel very comfortable.
Although others saw him, Wei Zhongxian, they were all like grandsons, nine thousand years old and nine thousand years old, to be honest, Wei Zhongxian had long been used to it.
Only Zhang Jingyi is rarely so sincere and has a sense of accomplishment for him.
Wei Zhongxian knew the rules, so he acted like an elderly person and said earnestly: "Don't worry, we will not blame you. You are still young, please serve Your Majesty well. As long as you serve Your Majesty, not to mention blaming you, even if you cut our flesh, we will never say anything. But then again, if you can't do this, you still guarantee your Majesty, then..."
"Yes, yes." Zhang Jing nodded with a little chicken pecking at the rice: "With Brother Wei's words, I feel relieved. Brother Wei, say goodbye."
After saying that, he bowed and then hurriedly ran away.
Wei Zhongxian looked at his back and was confused.
But Zhang Jingyi was away while she couldn't help but admire Wei Zhongxian.
This guy... he is the Majesty who opens his mouth, and he is the Majesty who keeps talking. Everyone he sees is loyal. It is not unreasonable that Wei Zhongxian can win with the eunuch party in the end.
Even though this guy became nine thousand years old, he built shrines for him in order to please him, but he still gained the trust of the emperor. No one could shake his current status... He felt that he really had to study hard.
Who said that licking a dog would die?
Isn't there a successful experience here?
From this we can see that this mainly depends on the skill and posture of licking. As expected, everything has knowledge.
…………
Back to the Hundred Houses.
Zhang Jingyi was wearing the imperial kirin uniform. At this moment, he turned into a righteous look and ordered people to summon the officials of the hundred households and county government offices to the hall.
Here, civil and military officers were already gathered. Zhang Jingyi sat steadily, picked up the gavel and slapped hard: "From today, the directors of all streets and alleys must record people's livelihood information at any time, whether there is food to sell on the market, and the retail price of grain must be reported at any time. First, submit it to the county magistrate Lu. As for the Jinyiwei... from now on, the training will be cancelled and I will seriously investigate the reality of the grain merchants in the capital, or even the suburbs of Beijing. In this capital... I have to find out where there is food and how much grain there is. Of course, it is impossible to find out all of it, but I must know a rough idea."
"Everyone!" Zhang Jing said righteously, and his voice shook the rubble at this moment.
The county, including the Jinyiwei General Banner and the small banner officers, were all solemn at this time.
Zhang Jingyi continued: "Now the great disaster in Guanzhong is coming, and it is the time for me to serve you. If you say that you can save the people, this is a bit big. But since you know the destiny of heaven and do your best, it is the most urgent thing at the moment. What you need to do is to inquire about me, inquire about death, in the city, inquire about merchants, inquire about ordinary people, inquire about soldiers in the Beijing camp, inquire about monks and nuns at the docks. You also need all the information to go out of the city, inquire about farmers, and inquire about gentry."
Everyone said with a bang: "Here."
Zhang Jing waved his hand one by one: "Now it starts moving. Whether it is the county magistrate, chief clerk, chief banner, cavalry, or officer, everyone must move. Think of good generals in danger. When the stern people meet the loyal ministers, they will say nothing more! "
"Dare not obeying."
Be clean and neat.
Everyone dispersed like beans.
After that, the school captain Ti cavalry was dispatched, and the officers began to go deep into the streets and alleys.
And Zhang Jingyi...is obviously waiting.
He needs countless messages to master any possible information.
Seeing that Zhang Jing's face turned pale, Lu Xiangsheng looked like Zhang Jingyi, so he went to make a pot of tea for him and delivered it to him in person: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Jingyi did not hide it from him and said, "I want to suppress the price of food, this is what Your Majesty mean."
Lu Xiangsheng said in surprise: "Have you issued a military order?"
"No, that's not." Zhang Jing said: "I'm not stupid."
Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qingping Bo is indeed not rude. I have no other skills. I will let you do it, but I just want to suppress the price of food, I am afraid it will not be so easy."
Zhang Jing nodded and said, "So this is a tough battle. Although there is no real sword or gun, it is also a life-and-death thing behind the scenes."
Immediately, one news after another was delivered to Zhang Jingyi's desk.
As Zhang Jingyi expected, the food prices continued to soar.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian's actions had a negative effect.
The factory guards began to take action against grain merchants, which instead sent a signal to the market: the court had no grain.
If the court had food to relieve the difficulties, it would never be so reckless.
He directly used Wei Zhongxian to use his ultimate move. Although one or two unlucky grain merchants died, many of them had their eyes red. What does this mean?
It means that the opportunity to make a fortune is here.
No one will miss such an opportunity. After all, many times, the opportunity to get rich is only once in a lifetime!
People with a thousand acres of land in their family can use only a few dozen stones of grain to exchange for hundreds or thousands of acres of land because they hoarded a sum of grain. Will you do such huge profits?
What's more... this is just an ordinary person.
Which one is the real big player, who has no support behind it, and which one does not have a large sum of food in its hands?
These foods... may multiply your assets many times overnight.
Can you sit still with such temptation?
As soon as the factory guards were launched, the prices of grain in the black market immediately began to grow wildly.
Within three days, the price rose directly to seven taels of silver per stone.
After Zhang Jingyi got the accurate news, he couldn't help but suck in the air.
This is really after I die, no matter how much the flood is! These guys are crazy and dare to do anything to make a fortune.
Lu Xiangsheng also changed his face and couldn't help but say, "Bo Qingping, now the world is soaring. Is there no good people in this world?"
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help laughing, with a little helpless smile, and said, "A good person, now, has probably experienced several famines and bankruptcy and has become a refugee. If you are not in a dark mind, how could you gain a lot of land and food in the famine? Without a lot of land, gold, silver and food, you can't afford such a game. No, do you really think there are good people?"
Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said nothing, which was obviously somewhat inconsistent with his values.
Lu Xiangsheng paused and said, "What should I do next? Does Qingping Bo have any ideas?"
