    Nan Baoyi picked up a few letters and read them.

    The expression on the fair and tender face gradually became serious.

    There is a severe drought in Shu County. This year and next year are very critical. Otherwise, people will starve to death.

    Food and water sources are the basis for people's survival, but so many granaries were burned and the county magistrate did nothing. It's really chilling!

    Xiao Yi peeled the lychee slowly.

    A few days ago at Jinyumantang, Boss Wan tried to unite with Shu County grain merchants to raise the price of grain, and begged him, but he refused.

    Come to think of it, this is their revenge.

    It¡¯s disgusting that flies and dogs are surrounded by dogs.

    He peeled off the lychee core and fed the lychee meat into Nan Baoyi's mouth, half-smiling but not smiling: "What do you think of Jiaojiao?"

    "Second brother is afraid that he is blocking someone's way of making money, so they would make such a move." Nan Baoyi said solemnly, "If you can find Hong Laojiu's granary in a short time, you can summon the magistrates of thirty-two counties at the same time.  Keep silent, except for the prefect of Shu County, no one else can do it!"

    The Cheng family has deep roots in Shu County.

    Prefect Cheng had many disciples, and among the thirty-two county magistrates, he was the only one who followed his lead. He was very powerful.

    Nan Baoyi knew that his virtue was unworthy, but he never expected that he would dare to amass money so blatantly, even regardless of how dire straits the people were!

    There is so much food, it is all the hard work of the second brother!

    It was actually a fire!

    The imperial envoy is still here, isn¡¯t he afraid that his crime will be revealed?  !

    She grabbed Xiao Yi¡¯s sleeves and was about to burst into tears, ¡°Second brother, while the nine thousand-year-old is still here, let¡¯s go and expose Governor Cheng¡¯s crimes?¡±

    "it's useless."

    Xiao Yi was peeling lychees with a cold posture.

    "Why is it useless?"

    "Gu Chongshan is a figure from the Chengwang faction, but Cheng Ji and Xue Dingwei are neutral factions. This time Gu Chongshan came to Shu County, except to check the theft of disaster relief funds and select imperial merchants. Do you think he has no other purpose?"

    Nan Baoyi was startled.

    Now that the prince has reached adulthood, the battle for the throne is beginning.

    Xue Dingwei, who had an army of 400,000, and Cheng Hui, who had overwhelming power in Shu County, were naturally the ones that King Cheng wanted to win over.

    So, Gu Chongshan is here to win them over.

    ¡°Gu Chongshan will not help his second brother

    Her heart sank a little bit.

    Xiao Yi fed her another lychee.

    He chuckled: "Little girls, aren't you happy staying in the boudoir all day reading poems and embroidering flowers and birds? Why do you always want to get involved in such big things? With my brother here, we won't be called coquettish and spoiled by others.  Bully."

    Nan Baoyi remained silent.

    She lay on Xiao Yi's shoulder and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

    It¡¯s just so wronged!

    When he came back from rebirth, he clearly had the right time and place, he had hoarded so much rice, he could save hundreds of thousands of people, but because of the greed of others, he ultimately fell short

    Although she is a boudoir girl and has few talents and knowledge, she still knows that "because of her humble position, she dare not forget about her country."

    "Those people who hold high positions and have read the books of sages since childhood, why don't they know?"

    The warm liquid rolled down the young man's neck.

    Xiao Yi looked grim.

    Nan Jiaojiao¡¯s tears are the sharpest weapons in the world.

    It was so easy that his heart was cut with a knife.

    He gently stroked the little girl¡¯s head, ¡°It will be okay, brother, I promise you that everything in Shu County will be okay.

    "If the magistrates of the thirty-two counties failed to serve as officials for their parents, then they should be killed to express gratitude to the world. Governor Cheng was corrupt and perverted the law and used power for personal gain, so his crimes would be exposed to the world.

    "I want my homeland to have clear rivers and clear seas, and prosperity and peace. I want my people to have enough food and clothing, to live and work in peace and contentment."

    He also wants his little girl, who is as charming as a pearl!

    ??The youth¡¯s commitment is resounding.

    Nan Baoyi believed in him.

    He is a powerful minister, and she believes everything he says!

    Nan Baoyi wrapped her arms around his neck coquettishly, staying in his arms and refusing to come out.

    Shen Yichao silently wrapped his wide sleeves.

    Women are really troublesome.

    Women of the lower eighth rank are even more delicate and stupid.

    but¡­¡­

    Considering this girl¡¯s pure heart, I can barely give her a rank of 1 and 7.

      Nanfu is quite peaceful.

    Throughout Shu County, panic finally broke out as countless granaries were burned down and Hongjia Rice Shop ran out of food.

    The price of rice shops increased one after another. In one day, the price of food increased more than five times.

    Various sensational rumors spread, making people think that the drought will last until next year, and it is necessary to stockpile grain now.

    So countless people took to the streets, took out their family savings, and frantically bought rice.

    As panic spreads, order in cities and towns is disordered, and some people even go out of their way to steal rice from other houses, causing even greater trouble.

    Outside the towns, bandits are rampant, occupying rivers and lakes, displacing the people in the villages.

    The number of refugees is increasing day by day.

    The Prefect¡¯s Mansion.

    Cheng Jie sat behind the desk, dipped his fingertips in saliva, and slowly read the Analects of Confucius.

    The housekeeper came in with several account books and said with a smile: "Master, Boss Wan sent someone to deliver the account books. They are the records of the past half month. Please take a look."

    Cheng Hui put down "The Analects of Confucius".

    Opening the account books, in just half a month, the money earned by Mipu was equivalent to three quarters of last year.

    "The people are still frantically grabbing rice. Boss Wan only sells a little bit every day. Most of the food is still stored in the warehouse, waiting to be sold after winter and make a lot of money!" The housekeeper couldn't help laughing.  From ear to ear, "Boss Wan also said that the master is the most honest eunuch in the world, just like his parents who provide him with food and clothing, so he specially used 40% of his income to be filial to you!"

    "Four percent¡­¡­"

    Prefect Cheng knocked on the desk and smiled elegantly, "She is quite sensible. How is the situation with Xiao Yi?"

    "Don't worry, sir, all his granaries have been burned down. In addition, the price of food in other counties has also increased. Even if you want to transport food in, it will not be that easy."

    Cheng Taishou's smile became even brighter, and he opened the Analects with emotion, "Shu County is thousands of miles away. As a prefect, I am really working hard! How is Gu Chongshan?"

    "The governor of Xichang is temporarily living in a rich and beautiful palace, and he seems to be in no hurry to return to Shengjing City. In these days, he has always wanted to meet Governor Xue, probably to support King Cheng's canonization of the crown prince. However, the governor has never met him."

    "It's just an eunuch. It's really not worthy of being entertained by the governor himself. King Cheng sent such an eunuch to discuss cooperation, and he didn't give a decent meeting gift. He didn't take us in his eyes at all. He was happy to stay in Jinguan City  , then let him stay."

    The housekeeper smiled and said yes.

    When he came out of the study, the maid came to invite him, saying that his wife was looking for him to check the official expenses.

    Arriving at the flower hall in the backyard, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Huang were sitting in the garden, drinking almond tea.

    Nan Yan knelt on the ground and pinched her legs carefully, as if he was filial.

    When the housekeeper mentioned the huge profits made by the rice shop, Mrs. Huang smiled from ear to ear.

    She said sarcastically: "They say the Nan family is good at doing business. I see that our Cheng family is also good at doing business. Don't you think so, Nan Yan?"

    "My mother-in-law said," Nan Yan said meekly, "Our Cheng family is a scholarly and powerful family. We usually disdain doing business. If we really do business, what does the Nan family mean?" (Remember  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
