Chapter 32 The Crazy Grain Merchant

He glanced at her, but did not make any more embarrassment, and soon signed, "Remember, this is my imperial pen signature, so you must not lose it."

"Yes, yes! I understand!" Needless to say, she would also keep it well. This is three thousand taels of silver, which is her hope for leaving the palace!

He put away the note and then wrote another note and folded it into a square. "Your Majesty, this is the first step for slaves to deal with drought. Please open it in two days to take a look."

first step?

And it will not be watched tomorrow.

He frowned, not knowing what she was selling in the gourd.

"Emperor, Prince Rui and Prince Chen are here." Cao Zhongquan came in to report.

Prince Chen?

Ji Wujue suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yunluo, "Xuan!"

Lu Yunluo was inexplicably surprised at that glance and was frightened.

She did nothing wrong!

Why do you think of her like this?

"If there is nothing to do, I will take my leave first!" Lu Yunluo was still very polite. Since he had business dealings, she should leave quickly.

“Stand!”

A displeasure sounded slowly behind him, "Did I ask you to retreat?"

"Come here and wait by my side." An order that cannot be refused.

Lu Yunluo had no choice but to turn around and stay.

After a while, two luxuriously dressed men walked in at the door.

One of them looks only sixteen or seventeen years old and looks very handsome. This one should be the youngest Prince Rui, but his face doesn't seem to be very good at this time.

Another man, who was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, had a gentle temperament, but his handsome face seemed to have a trace of paleness that was always sick.

Lu Yunluo frowned.

She seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

I don’t know if it was her illusion, but when Prince Chen came in and saw her, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, but for only a moment, when she looked at her again, she had returned to her original appearance.

"See the Emperor!"

"No gifts! Give a seat." Ji Wujue waved his hand, and four palace maids came up, carrying two chairs in.

As soon as the little prince came in, he said angrily, "Second brother, these grain merchants are so treacherous!"

"What's wrong?"

Prince Rui seemed to be very angry. He took the teacup handed over by the palace maid and calmed down and said, "There has not been a drop of rain this year. The whole state has only one lake. The crops in the people cannot irrigate. Even if you dig a well, you have to dig hundreds of meters to dig a water source. Seeing that the harvest of Shangyuanzhou this year is hopeless, those treacherous grain merchants took this opportunity to maliciously hoard grain and buy all the grain in the entire state. Now, they have sold them at a sky-high price of ten taels of silver per pit!"

He was so angry that he received the briefing from the fief in the morning!

He was obviously the lord of the fiefdom, but he had no way to deal with the treacherous grain merchants.

The food of the entire state is in their hands.

You can't kill or catch it.

If they don't let them sell, the people will starve to death.

If they sell, the people will starve to death sooner or later.

Lu Yunluo couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. A dou of rice costs ten taels of silver. You know, the ten taels of silver in this dynasty are almost five or six hundred yuan in modern times. These grain merchants really want to make money in the national crisis.

"Second brother, you'd better help me think of a solution. I'm afraid that something will happen in Uewonju in a few days."

This is the situation he least wants to see.

Uewonju is on the border and borders the North Cang Kingdom. Once Uewonju riots arise due to famine, no one can predict the consequences.
