Many ministers blushed.

It is impossible to refute.

Wu Zhi: "Your Majesty, although this method is good, if you rashly raise the price to purchase grain, the people of Mengzhou will have some complaints and complain about Your Majesty, so there are certain risks!"

Song Huizong smiled and said, "As long as the problem can be solved, the people of Mengzhou will naturally be grateful to the court later. It doesn't matter! What suggestions do you have for you? If you have no objection, follow the Wu Shishi to read this method."

Zeng Bu quickly said: "Your Majesty, I have no objection. If Your Majesty is really willing to do this, and open the national treasury to purchase grain, this is also a blessing for the people of Mengzhou. After this difficulty is over, the people of the world will definitely sing to your Majesty's benevolence, righteousness and sage!"

After Zeng Bu said something, Song Huizong smiled and said, "Hey, this method is all mentioned by Wu Zhi!"

Wu Zhi said: "There is also because the officials are interested in this plan. Only when the officials stand in front of the court is his wise mind."

Oh? Song Huizong was stunned by Zeng Bu and Wu Zhi, and he was very happy: "Since everyone has no objection, come here, I will draft an order!"

The other ministers saw that there was a solution.

At this moment, the official family had already issued an order and they all bowed and praised His Majesty for his wiseness.

At this time, Wu Zhi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, since this method was proposed by Wei, I dared to go to Mengzhou in person to fulfill Your Majesty's favor!"

"Oh? Wu Shilu wants to supervise this matter himself? Very good, I'm sure!"

After hearing this, Emperor Huizong of Song was right and he didn't even think about it.

This made the civil and military officials in the court a little confused.

Wu Zhi made a good opinion. If he failed, the meritorious thing would turn into a bad thing.

If it is not done, he can be pushed to the person who is doing the work.

He is so confident when he is taking risks with himself?

Cai Jing in the court thought that Wu Zhi wanted to show up quickly?

Actually not.

Wu Zhi also inquired about some things this month.

I heard that there seems to be Yanshan near Mengzhou, and Wu Zhi is preparing to make money.

Disaster relief is just one of them.

Furthermore, he was also worried that if Song Huizong asked others to mess things up, it would have some impact on him.

As long as it is done, it is a merit.

Zeng Bu didn't understand either.

He didn't ask much.

After resigning from the court, Wu Zhi immediately rushed to Mengzhou with the people from the court and the silver he had transferred.

He also brought Zhao San and Li Wu with him.

If this incident succeeds, Wu Zhi will recommend Wu Song to come back to Bianjing to work.

The group left.

We arrived in Mengzhou soon.

Follow the previous plan.

Wu Zhi purchased grain at a high price in the name of the court.

This has caused considerable turmoil here.

After learning that it was true, some retail investors could not sit still when they saw the benefits, so they immediately sold all their own food to Wu Zhi except for the spare food they wanted.

At this moment, Mengzhou was already in dire straits, the ground was wet, and there were many victims.

Suddenly, these people heard that a martial arts top scholar came to the court. They thought they were to help the victims, and they were very happy.

As a result, he actually raised the price of grain here to purchase, which immediately aroused a lot of public anger.

"What's wrong with the imperial court? Our Mengzhou lacks food so seriously, but he sent a top martial arts scholar to raise the price of food. Doesn't this make us even more unable to afford food?"

"Yes, I have only been able to buy very little food recently. Once the price increases, it will be even harder to buy!"

"I think this Song Dynasty official is confused!"

"Brother, don't say this nonsense. Be careful of being arrested when you hear it!"

"Hey, I just can't figure it out. The court and the others sent people here... Isn't this causing trouble!"

"There is also the top martial arts scholar who just took office as the top scholar. I thought he was a good thing. He looked like a treacherous minister!"

"This cannot be blamed on the top martial arts scholar, it is sent by the imperial court!"

"No matter who sent him, he made us unable to buy food. Shouldn't we hate it?"

Many people became resentful when they found out and talked about it in private.

If Wu Zhi hadn't had officers and soldiers around him, he would have been brave enough to want to beat Wu Zhi.

Although they may not dare, they can still think about it.

Wu Zhi also felt the emotions of the victims of Mengzhou. He found that he had a lot of emotions in this wave of harvest!

It took dozens of o'clock in a short time.

Yes, it would be strange if these people can’t buy food, they don’t hate him!

Wu Zhi wanted to come and these people were preparing to send someone to help the court, but they were unable to buy food and even hungry.

Many people have already started cooking porridge to make a living.

Wu Zhi didn't take it seriously, and things had a process.

These people will know later.

Soon after Wuzhi acquired it, the food prices in Mengzhou continued to rise, and those merchants regarded Wuzhi as a sucker.

Even some nearby state and prefecture merchants rushed over to hear that.

Now Wu Zhi has also distributed all the purchased grains and cooked porridge on site for refugees to eat.

When this action was implemented, all the refugees in Mengzhou who could not eat were stunned.

"This... the martial arts champion gave free porridge?"

"Is he saving our Mengzhou?"

"Yes, we have porridge!"

Many people didn't even have to eat porridge, and now they heard about this good thing and rushed over.

"Thank you, Lord Wu!"

"Thank you, the court, let's have porridge."

The warm porridge entered the refugees' stomachs, giving them temporary food and clothing, and many people were grateful.

Although they didn't understand raising the food price, Wu Zhi's move really benefited them.

Therefore, Wu Zhi's emotional value has not only surged, but these refugees across the city are also grateful to him. He sighed that his previous words were extreme.

Some people feel embarrassed.

Everyone came over to thank Lord Wu for being a clean official in the Song Dynasty.

For the people, as long as they can avoid hunger, you are a good person.

Wu Zhi purchased a lot of grain, which is far from enough to maintain the serious situation in Mengzhou.

So this is just a delaying strategy.

What is really important is that after that, the big businessman from nearby prefectures actually transported the grain to truckloads, hoping to sell it for a good price.

Wu Zhi also collected all of them.

They thought this was just news, but after they really sold it, these big merchants went crazy.

"Quickly, go back and transport all the grain in the granary here!"

"With the best carriage, you must sell it to Wu Zhi before others. The court is afraid that it will be crazy and actually raise the price of food to this level. We have made a lot of money this time!"

Many big businessmen think so.

As the nearby large grain merchants transported the grain over.

Wu Zhi did acquire some.

However, the grain prices in Mengzhou soared, and soon everyone discovered that there were a large number of grain merchants gathering here.

If there is too much food, it will be worthless.

So the situation suddenly changed, and the situation where it was originally sold at a high price became that the price of grain continued to fall.

Many merchants saw that the situation was not good, so they quickly sold all of them while the price was appropriate.

The price of food is getting lower and lower, and in the end many people have food.
