Ji Shumo smacked his mind, Ji Xiaofeng smiled and said: “Shu Mo, how do you think so? You have always been my baby son, how can I not hurt you? Just a moment ago, I was impulsive, careless Hit you, my mother is wrong… Hey, don’t be angry, now my mother will take you to the medicine…”
Quietly listening to Ji Xiaofeng’s soft soothing, Ji Shumo’s face was pale, but his expression has returned to the coldness of the past. He looked at the mother who was hypocritically trying to appease himself, and his voice replied coldly: “It’s near dusk, and the baby should go back to Xiaofu. Now, the baby is a Xiao family, and I hope that some sisters have nothing to do. Xiaofu disturbed my silence. I don’t want to see my position in Xiaojia and my reputation in Beijing because of this season.”
“The baby retire first.”
“You!” Ji Xiaofeng glared at him, but Ji Shumo looked cold and left the quarter without returning.
“This unconscionable bunny!” I didn’t expect that the well-behaved son had ridiculed himself with a sarcasm! Ji Xiao was so angry that he was full of anger and tumbling with anger. “I will raise him so big, but I don’t know how to report it, and I dare to say this rebellious thing!”
“That… what about the compensation?…” I thought that I was still owed debts. Ji Xin Tong Bai Ji, a sigh of relief, blamed indignantly, “This is blaming the second sister for smashing the four brothers, otherwise the fourth brother will not Fall out with us.”
“What is the use of him? Xiao will be willing to spend money for him again? If he is willing to spend money for him, he has already taken the initiative to help us pay off the compensation, and settled everything in advance. Now Xiao Xiao has been hooked by Xie Chuchen. Going to the heart, do you think Ji Shumo said that two sentences would be useful?”
Indeed, the current Xiao Xiao has not been a prostitute who was randomly used by them for more than two months. In the past two months, Xiao refused their request several times, but now it has become a four-product assistant with Ji Xiaofeng.
“Mother, it is very difficult to make up four thousand and two silver in a short time in this season. In the past few years, you have been collecting a lot of precious antiques and celebrity calligraphy and paintings. ?”
Ji Xiaofeng has a hobby of collecting antique calligraphy and painting. There is a dark room in her room that hides the treasures she has worked hard over the years. Two years ago, Jijia suddenly had a financial crisis. In fact, because Ji Xiaofeng was greedy and eager to buy antiques, the Jijia was unable to make ends meet.
After Xiao Xiao learned about Ji Xiaofeng’s hobby, he spent a lot of money to please the mother. Ji Xiaofeng will eventually promise Xiao’s marriage proposal, because Xiao Caicai bought a lot of valuable antiques and calligraphy and paintings, let her know for a moment that this stupid wife will pay for their family! Therefore, Ji Xiaofeng, who saw the fortune of the moment, although he couldn’t look down on Xiao’s late night, he accepted the invitation of Xiao’s engagement.
Now, seeing the two disappointing daughters began to play their own treasures, Ji Xiaofeng’s face was very blue, and he was very unhappy to warn: “You can only pick a few, others can not move.”
The car was in Jubaozhai, Xiao Xiao smiled and narrowed his eyes, and peeled the grapes in his hands.
Zhaoer dissatisfiedly said: “It is obvious that you can go to jail in the board, how can you let them go!”
Xiao Xiao found Zhao Er very interesting. Her name has gradually evolved from “Bastard”, “Miss Xiao” and “Miss” to “Miss.” Although there are a few words difference, it is gradually recognized the identity of her master. This made Xiao Xiao flattered and always felt that his relationship with Xie Chuchen was getting closer.
After the day, he was thankful for the identity of the first husband, and Zhao’s call for Xie Chuchen could no longer be a “son”, but “Little Jun” or “Zhengjun”.
“Before Jubaozhai has been reluctant to give in, but after explaining the matter of Ji Shumo, it has dropped from 7,000 to 4,000. Obviously, this Zhao Gongzi remembers Qi Shumo’s hatred, so he deliberately killed They are. Today, Ji Ruzhen is so resentful, he will definitely vent in Ji Shumo. It is interesting to let her go back to quarrel~”
“And…” Xiao smiled black and smiled, and then said, “They will sell the antiques and calligraphy and paintings of Ji Xiaofeng’s collection in order to collect the money, but Ji Xintong is a restless master. This silver is in her hands. I watched it…”
Xiao said, and happily stripped a string of crystal clear grapes. The slippery grape was red and purple, and Zhaoer was looking around and couldn’t help but sneak out some of his claws and put it in his pocket.
When Zhang Shumo was in the palm of his hand, Zhao Er used all his strength for a while, and now his hand has some burning pain. When I was stealing the grapes awkwardly, I was seen by the clouds.
Seeing the cloud and sinking his face, staring at the hand that stole the grape, Zhao’s cheeks were red, and he quickly put the stolen grapes back in the same place, but saw a cloud of brows and asked: “What is the red heart? Red, is it hurt?”
“Nothing.” Zhao Er shook his head, blushing and not talking.
Although I heard about what happened this morning from the noisy painting of Xiakou, Yunxiao did not expect Zhaoer to redeem his hands. Yunxiao was silent for a while, and took out a salve from his arms and quietly handed it over. Half a ring, she washed a plate of grapes and silently handed it to Zhaoer.
Zhao Eryi, the big eyes of Shuilingling, looked at Yunxiao in confusion.
Yunxiao lightly coughed and opened his eyes: “I bought a lot of grapes, Miss can not eat so much, you can help eat a little bit… Anyway, if you can’t eat it, it will break down…”
“Thank you……”
The first time I saw such a diligent cloud, Xiao Xi, who was stripping the grapes, couldn’t help but look at the past. Looking at the left and looking at the right, I feel that the atmosphere of the two people is particularly strange. Zhao’s face is fierce in the face of painting, how can he be so muffled in front of Yunxiao?
Hey, these two people are stupid!
At the time of the encounter, four people, including Xia, returned to Jubaozhai and reported the movement of Jifu to Xiaoyue. Now Xiao Xiao’s hands are no longer only in the hands of Yunxiao and Xia Xia. After knowing that Xiao Xiao had established his own business outside, Xiao Yurong sent ten other subordinates to protect Xiao’s safety.
Two of them were protected by Xie Kee, and five people were sent by Xiao Xiao to monitor the movements of Chu Muqing. Unfortunately, Chu Muqing’s house was more strict than expected, and he could not successfully install the pile in it. Fushang. In addition to constantly monitoring outside the house, Xiao night’s people also successfully mixed into the Jinxiu Yige and Zhu Xianjuli.
Now, Xiao Fu is also heavily guarded, and Chu Muqing wants to put in another piece of work, which is hard to add.
See Xiao Xiao guessed * not far from the ten, Zhao Er Shui Ling Ling’s big eyes slammed, worshipped to look at Xiao Xiao, blurted out and debut: “Miss, before Zhao Er misread you, it is just a blind eye! Sure enough son’s vision is correct!”
The grapes that were peeled off were carefully wrapped in clean white cloth. Xiao Xiao smiled and joked: “Your son has a unique eye, and the wife of the wife is naturally unparalleled.”
“Miss, your face is getting thicker and thicker…” The summer is silent with a belly: “It’s all we are running errands…”
“Yes, you have worked hard to eat grapes.”
After all the things were arranged, Xiao night quickly rushed back to Xiaofu in a carriage.
At dusk, Xie Chuchen was sitting in the courtyard and looking at the book. Today, he wore a light blue brocade straight, with a coat of auspicious clouds. In the autumn and the breeze, the breeze blew gently, raising his long sleeves, and a good smell of sweet-scented osmanthus slowly dispersed. The warm sun shines on his white skin like porcelain, shining with the luster of glass.
He lowered his head, flipped through the books, and a pair of clear phoenix eyes clung to the book, with a serious and unpredictable. Such a hard-working Xie Chuchen was filled with a tenacious temperament. He could see that Xiao Xiao’s heart was moving, and he couldn’t help but pick up his toes and walked quietly from behind him.
When I was preparing to drink saliva, my mouth was suddenly stuffed with a sweet and delicious grape. Xie Chuchen’s big eyes and horror looked at Xiao Xiao, who suddenly came out from behind. She saw her carrying a bunch of peeled grapes and asked with a smile: “Early, is it delicious?”
The sweet and sour taste touches the taste buds, and there is an unspeakable sweetness and happiness between the lips and teeth. Xie Chuchen licked his lips and squinted back: “I swallowed it all at once, and I didn’t taste it at all. It’s not like a wife, you feed me one more.”
He said, slightly opening the lip, leaning toward Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao squinted and took a crystal clear grape and handed it to Xie Chuchen’s lips. Xie Chuchen likes to eat grapes, and the grapes are blood and nourishment. So after Xiao bought the grapes, he immediately peeled off and hurried back.
“It’s delicious, really sweet…” The sweetness of the mellowness spreads between the lips and teeth. Xie Chuchen couldn’t help but squint his eyes, like a cat, licking his lips.
Suddenly, he posted on the night with Xiao, and a pair of clear eyes flashed brightly, braving the light of happiness: “Wife, I will feed you.”
“Okay.” Xiao Xiao smiled and kissed the grape. “That, feed me.”
Once, Xiao Xiao was equally pleased with Ji Shumo. He bought lychee for him, only to make him smile. But now it is found that such a humble and affectionate feeling is totally different from the feeling of Xie Chuchen at this moment.
Because, looking at Xie Chuchen’s sweet smile, her heart burst into a kind of happiness that has never been seen before, and it is full of fighting spirit.
At this moment, she was bathed in the sun, warm and sweet.
Xiao Xiao in front of Xie Chuchen, exuding the joy from the inside out, such a stunned smile makes Ji Shumo, who is coming from the wind, can’t help but stop.
He stood quietly on the Jiuqu Bridge, staring at the woman who was laughing across the face, and the beautiful phoenix was covered with a layer of confused water.
“Xiao night, you said… will always pet me…”
At the end of September, the drought in the northern region broke out like a previous generation. In most areas, rainfall is low and temperatures continue to be high. In some areas, food was in a hurry, and large and small animals were in a hurry, and Chenzhou was even more likely to have a disaster.
The disaster strikes are fast and unstoppable. Fortunately, Xiao Xiao led the Ministry of Construction to prepare for disaster prevention and preparedness in advance, and adopted ducklings, mutton chickens and other means to eliminate mites, and transported grain storage in rice warehouses.
In the past life, because the Queen took the troops out, the long-distance trek took away a large amount of food, causing serious treasury funds and rice warehouses. In the face of all kinds of sudden disasters, the imperial court was unable to help and resettle the victims. The drought in the province continued to erupt within half a month, and the scope expanded one after another.
During the continuous drought, there were large outbreaks of locusts in Chenzhou and other places, accompanied by widespread famine and plague. In an instant, the hunger in Chenzhou was recommended, and the people were displaced and fled to the capital. Thousands of people starved to death halfway.
When the Queen of South Xinjiang learned that the disaster was in a hurry and the country was in turmoil, the drought in many provinces was serious. The affected area was over 200 million mu, and the disaster area was over 100 million mu. The drought caused a huge famine, and the food was seriously owed, which made the original bustling Kyoto crowded with victims suffering from the violent displacement. The food price was turned over ten times by the black-hearted profiteers. Many people were hungry and frozen, complaining about the Queen and the court.
The drought broke out at the end of September. In mid-October, the Queen rushed back and immediately ordered the resettlement of the victims to control the disaster as soon as possible. However, this drought has been raging until the end of January and the beginning of February of the second year, and the violent consequences brought about by it seriously affected the prestige of the Queen in the eyes of the people. A great opportunity to kill.
But in this life, before the disaster broke out, the Queen allocated 500,000 silver to the Ministry of Industry for disaster relief. Therefore, when the disaster broke out, the disaster relief task was already in full swing.
I have to say that Xiao Xiao played a vital role in this prevention of disasters, which made many of the colleagues who thought that Xiao Xiao’s fuss was a big deal, and couldn’t help but admire her vision.
One day, when Xiao Xiao went out to work in the city, he found that the two sides of the official road were full of people who were dragging their families. The ragged clothes and the yellow-faced skin were lined up in front of the porridge shed. But the rice of porridge is not white rice, but brown rice. There are a few loose leaves and a few grains of rice on the faint porridge soup.
The horrors of past famine could not help but come to the forefront, and Xiao’s face immediately sank.
She approached the porridge shed and picked up a bowl of sparse white soup. The cold geology asked: “Are you cooking porridge or cooking soup?”
Seeing the sorrowful screaming of the shovel, the officials of the porridge can’t help but complain: “Back to Xiao Shilang, a large number of rice huts are transferred to Chenzhou and other places, and the supply of the capital is seriously insufficient. Recently, the price of rice in the capital has risen flatly. Domi three money, rose to a bucket of rice and two silver. Today, after porridge, there will be no rice tomorrow.”
“No rice?” After understanding the serious situation, Xiao late calmed down and told him, “Xie Kee shop still has white rice. You should first get a few bags to go to the pot. The rest, I will solve it.”
In the past life, the price of food has been turned over dozens of times by the black-hearted profiteers, and they have taken huge profits. So in this life, Xiao Xiao led the Ministry of Industry to transfer the white rice in Mi Cang to Chenzhou and other places, but she was soberly aware that the remaining white rice in the capital could be distributed for more than a month, never in a few days. Between, I was told that there is no rice!
After running a few rice shops to understand the situation, Xiao night found that the four major grain merchants in Beijing began to spend a lot of money half a month ago, almost at the moment when she prepared for the disaster relief. After the outbreak of the disaster, most of the rice shops were scarce, and only the four major grain merchants had a large amount of white rice in their hands.
Taking advantage of the good opportunity of the Beijing city without rice, they raised the price of food in a high-profile manner, making the poor people in Beijing unable to afford, and turned to the porridge shed to lead the rice, so that the white rice originally distributed to the displaced people was divided.
In order to purchase white rice, and even to stabilize food prices, the court will send officials to negotiate with these grain traders. At this time, it is a good time for profiteers to open a sky-high price!
“Xiao Shilang, now there is famine everywhere, the rise in food prices is also forced by the situation…” The leading grain trader named Wang Yan, is a white-faced fat man, a greasy and smooth face with fake fake smiles, and the fat under his body Her laughter shook slightly: “You let us maintain the original price, how is this possible!”
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and calmly said: “It is understandable to raise a few dollars, but it is too much to rise ten times. One bucket of rice and two silvers is almost a few months of savings for most people, let alone those who are homeless. Returnable refugees.”
“If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.” Wang Yan spread his hand and said indifferently, “The original sale is like this. Is it difficult to hope that we will be good deeds?”
“Yeah yeah.” Other grain merchants quickly joined.
Seeing that they were bent on their own way, Xiao Xiao immediately thought of the famine of the past life, and the anger in his heart could not help but roll over.
She slammed the table and gnashed her teeth: “Now, the people are in the midst of famine, and you not only do not help the victims to tide over the difficulties, but they are still making huge profits here! Seeing the people are hungry and frozen, are you? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
The grain traders have raised the white rice to a dozen or so silver for the nobles. Now it is rumored that the famine will last for several months, so the aristocrats have bought rice and grain, even if the rice has turned several times. As for the lives and deaths of those who lived, it was not the scope of their consideration.
Therefore, even if Xiao Xiao is screaming at the end of the night, they are not ashamed, and they only feel that doing business is profitable.
“Xiao Shilang, you don’t want to be angry, we are not unwilling to sell white rice to the court.” Grain merchants naturally do not want to be against the court, but they will seize the opportunity to make profits for themselves. Now, in order to solve the urgent need of the famine, the imperial court will certainly promise all their rude demands.
“Now we have two warehouses of white rice, there are more than three hundred bags.” Wang Yan smiled black and said the most important purpose of their hearts, “a price of five thousand two silver. At the same time the court must issue a decree To abolish the imprisonment system of the grain industry and seal the four of us as official businessmen, specializing in the sale of rice in the capital.”
Three hundred bags of white rice, but two hundred and two silver, were actually offered by them for five thousand two! And even in a big way to monopolize the grain industry!
The two officials who came with Xiao Xiao were exclaimed.
The salt, iron and tea of the Eastern Wei Dynasty have long been a monopoly of the official camp, but the grain industry is privately owned and the imprisonment system is implemented. If today’s request for the grain merchants is promised, then all the rice in the capital must be sold by them in the future, so that the profits from the harvest are long-lasting, far more than the ones earned during the disaster!
However, if they do not agree with their demands, the food prices in Beijing will soar, and the civilian population will surely have no rice and no complaints. And they dare to play tricks under the eyes of the Queen, showing that there is not a small force behind them, and they are fully prepared to carefully hide these three hundred bags of white rice.
Three officials, including Xiao Xiao, realized that they would either agree to the demanding demands of the grain traders, or they would be arrested and tortured to force the whereabouts of the rice warehouse. But the latter is very likely to break the net and let things go in a worse direction. After all, when they are locked up, the capital will be in a state of scarcity of rice. If they are reluctant to recruit the whereabouts of the rice warehouse, the famine will be triggered.
“If we promised our request, we will tell the adults who store the rice warehouse, this time -” Seeing all the officials are embarrassed to frown, Wang Yan has to sneer and laugh, who knows that just opened, he was Xiao In the evening, the ankle was in the abdomen, and the chubby body fell from the chair.
“Adult!” Everyone was shocked by Xiao’s action, and the words behind her coldness made everyone else in the same place.
“Today, your actions have seriously violated the 60th law of the State Law. According to the national law, you should be imprisoned for three months, with a penalty of sixty and a fine of one thousand and two silver.”
Article 60 of the Eastern Wei State Law clearly stipulates that where the opinions of the buyer and the seller are different, one party will forcefully buy and sell; the joint monopoly price, the price when the goods are sold, and the price when the goods are bought; colluding with others to confuse the other party for profit They must be punished with a stick. If the circumstances are serious, they will be punished according to theft.
Wang Yan, who was tripped to the ground, retorted in a cold voice: “Most of the surrounding capital is in a famine, and it is necessary to transport food and disasters. Only from the south, this journey has been long-distance for a month. It is difficult to become a Xiao Shilang. Innocently believe that only a few bags of white rice in the rice warehouse of the capital can survive the month of the hungry people?”
The other three grain merchants have echoed: “If Xiao Shilang does not want to hungry people and become sinners of the ages, he still promises our requirements and is good for each other!”
“If you think that the price is too expensive, then… just four thousand and two silver… can’t be lower anymore.”
“In a short period of time, it is really difficult to transfer food from other places back to Beijing. But…” One foot stepped on Wang Yan’s stomach, Xiao said with a smile. “This time, even if it is bloodless, I will not Let you earn a profit.”
Seeing Xiao Xiao’s sullen smile and Wang Yan’s pig-like screams, the other three were scared and bloodless, and quickly ran away. Who knows that when they just ran out of the gate, they were kept in the clouds and paintings in the doorway.
Seeing the four people arrested, the officials who came with Xiao Xiao worriedly said: “Xiao Shilang, now you are so hard to catch them. If their dead ducks are hard to say the whereabouts of Mi Cang, is this not a bad thing? Five thousand two are not many for the national treasury, they should first lie to them to promise their demands, and then…”
“Now agreeing to them will definitely increase their morale and make more arrogant demands in the future.”
“But you are like this, in case the Queen blames it…”
“From tomorrow, the porridge shed will be my responsibility.”
“Adult, now in the rice warehouse has been…”
There was a slight difference between this incident and the previous life. The grain merchants prepared the rice in advance, and it was obvious that some people in the Ministry of Industry had leaked the wind. However, since the matter was not completely determined more than half a month ago, they did not have time to pick up a lot of rice, only two warehouses of rice. When the time was ripe, they opened the lion and began extorting the court.
But they are countless, but they only miss Xiao Xiao.
These grain merchants started to pay for food half a month ago, but Xiao Xiao spent more than two months. From the fifth day of rebirth on July 11th, she has already ordered Yunxiao and painting summer to slowly pick up rice, in order to meet the needs of the time.
