When Miao Yan entered the palace, he happened to see Liu Mingqi sitting helplessly waiting outside the imperial study.
He just bowed to Liu Mingqi and ignored the boy.
In his eyes, this kind of young boy is not worthy of his attention at all.
After a while, Emperor Jinghe finally found some time. After seeing off Deputy Prime Minister Zhong Chang, he met with Miao Yan and Liu Mingqi at the same time.
"sit down!"
When the two came in, Emperor Jing He was drinking tea. He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that things suddenly happened in such a hurry Fortunately, I didn't delay the Empress Dowager's birthday, otherwise I would have committed a heinous crime!"
"This has nothing to do with you, Your Majesty. It's still caused by natural disasters." Liu Mingqi said with a smile, showing no sign of the impatience he felt after waiting for two hours.
"Gulu!"
Emperor Jinghe¡¯s stomach suddenly made a sound.
Zhao Shou, who was standing by, finally found an opportunity: "Your Majesty, you have been busy from morning until now, and you haven't had lunch yet! No matter how busy you are, you have to eat something, right?"
"Where can I have time to eat?" Emperor Jinghe shook his head without thinking.
"But if you don't eat, His Royal Highness Prince Yu can't eat either." Zhao Shou said, "He came here two hours ago and he has been hungry."
When Jing Hedi heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and looked at the two of them: "You haven't eaten anything?"
Liu Mingqi and Miao Yan both shook their heads.
Miao Yan has been dealing with the grain merchants. He came directly after finishing the work. Where can he have time to eat?
"Oh well."
"Zhao Shou, go and ask for some meals to be delivered. It doesn't need to be too complicatedand three cups of milk tea, please get them frozen."
"According to the order!"
Zhao Shou ran out in big strides.
Emperor Jinghe stretched and walked out from behind the imperial desk, "Tai Sheng, how are you doing there?"
Liu Mingqi had something to report, but Miao Yan had an important task. Of course, he had to ask about business first.
Miao Yan gave a rare wry smile, recounted today's confrontation, and finally said: "Your Majesty, it is easier for you to ask me to judge a hundred cases than to deal with these unscrupulous businessmen."
"Hahaha!"
It was rare for Emperor Jinghe to see this humble official, and he was in a better mood with laughter.
Besides, what Miao Yan brought was good news.
As he walked, he praised: "Actually, Tai Sheng's reputation played a role. Otherwise, it would be harder for them to give in if someone else were to talk to them.
"It's better now. At least six million kilograms of grain are sold every day. With the subsequent grain sales from the court, at least this month can be spent safely!" "
While Emperor Jinghe was happy, he suddenly saw Liu Mingqi's mouth puckered.
"Mingqi, what's your expression? Could it be that Lord Miao didn't do a good enough job?" The emperor suddenly became a little unhappy.
"hehe."
Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "From a purely negotiating perspective, Mr. Miao's hard work has indeed paid offbut can these grains be used in reality?"
"Why not?" Emperor Jinghe retorted: "There are patrols following to check, there are embroidered guards secretly watching, and there are so many ordinary people watching, what tricks can they play?"
"It would be too immature to think so."
As soon as Liu Mingqi said these words, Emperor Jinghe immediately wanted to get angry, so he quickly said: "If I were that ** businessman, I can do something when I leave the warehouse."
"How to do it?"
"It's very simple. I make a partition under the box and put some stones in it, or stuff the stones directly into the rice bag. When weighed together, it seems to be two thousand stones, but in the end, only fifteen hundred stones or less are shipped. .
When the time came to sell, some people bought one liter, some bought two liters, and tens of thousands of people came to buy in total. They have dozens of branches, and each one distributes different quantities. Can the patrolman calculate the total? They are not planners! It¡¯s good to be able to watch them sell out conscientiously. "
Hearing Liu Mingqi¡¯s hypothesis, not only Emperor Jinghe was dumbfounded, but Miao Yan also had his eyes widened.
If the two of them knew how to curse, they would have already cursed at this time.
Liu Mingqi felt a little proud when she saw their uninformed looks.
What about the emperor?
Look, this is the result of not watching TV series.
Emperor Jinghe exclaimed deeply"Mingqi, among your gadgets, iced milk tea is the best! A sip in summer is really a rare treat."
The eunuch had already helped Liu Mingqi open several layers of grids. The first layer contained rice, the third layer contained two meat and one vegetable dishes, and the bottom layer contained soup.
The young man took his chopsticks and ate first. Hearing this, he said, "That's because Your Majesty is not young anymore. Look at the young people in and outside the palace. Who doesn't like ice cream more?"
Miao Yan was drinking milk tea and almost choked when he heard the words, "His Royal Highness, you must be respectful when you speak to His Majesty."
Emperor Jinghe laughed to himself, "Okay, Taisheng, this is in private, it's okay. I don't want to hear those compliments every day!"
Miao Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, not pursuing further.
Liu Mingqi couldn't help but think in his heart, although Lao Miao is very capable, he is really boring. The emperor probably doesn't like such ministers.
Just like Qianlong, who doesn¡¯t know how good Mr. Ji is? But he just likes adults the most.
The three of them were all eating. A young man like Liu Mingqi ate the food in no time. Emperor Jing He and Miao Yan both ate slowly, obviously very organized.
When eating in the palace, or with the emperor, Liu Mingqi didn't ask for anything to be full.
When he signaled the eunuch to put away the tableware, the two eunuchs outside were already carrying a large basin and standing at the door of the imperial study.
Zhao Shou nodded and let them in.
Liu Mingqi walked up to them before Jing Hedi could speak, reached out and got a pair of brand-new chopsticks that he asked for.
Then the boy threw the chopsticks directly into the basin.
Emperor Jinghe frowned and said while eating, "Mingqi, what are you doing? It's not good to waste food!"
With this in mind, Emperor Jinghe naturally felt that food suddenly became precious.
Liu Mingqi smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please look! These chopsticks are floating, right?"
"right!"
Emperor Jinghe stretched his head to look at it and nodded.
"If this is how the imperial court in the two lakes area treats porridge this time, then the relevant officials should be beheaded!" Liu Mingqi said.
"Why?"
"Because we have to set rules for them." Liu Mingqi said: "Disaster relief food has always been swallowed up by officials at all levels using various means. Seventy percent of the time, it can be distributed to the hands of the victims. It is considered lucky. .
How many people drank porridge that was as clear as water, but were still hungry, and ended up starving to death around soup kitchens?
Faced with this situation, how should the court check whether the disaster relief rations are up to standard?
The person checking it will throw a chopstick in. The chopstick will float down on the person's head. There is absolutely no mistake. "
Emperor Jinghe was a little uncomfortable with Liu Mingqi's first few words, but his last words made his eyes light up.
Looking at the chopsticks floating in the porridge basin, he muttered: "Chopsticks float on people's heads Chopsticks float on people's heads"
Miao Yan was refreshed at this time.
He simply didn't eat, stood up and walked out, bowed to Emperor Jing He and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Yu's proposal is very good, simple and effective, and memorable! If it is really implemented so strictly, those below will Our officials must not dare to be so unscrupulous!"
Miao Yan is a disciple of Legalism, and he likes this simple and crude test and punishment standard very much.
And once you say it, everyone can understand it, and it¡¯s shocking. It¡¯s great!
After a moment, Emperor Jinghe nodded slowly, "If you can't even do this, what's the harm if the chopsticks float on people's heads?"
¡¡
Note: Chopsticks floating on people¡¯s heads is a clip from the TV series "The Granary of the World". The screenwriter said that the Qing Dynasty had such legal provisions. The scholar flipped through many pages of Du Niang, but only saw one about "the flood in western Zhejiang in the 10th year of Jiaqing" At that time, there was such a kind of statement, but there is no clear record in the history books.
After writing this, the scholar had some more in-depth thoughts, so he continued writing the next chapter. It's a bit tedious, but it's quite interesting to break it down like this when writing a history book. I hope you guys can see into it.
