Liu Mingqi came out of the palace and did not go home first. Instead, she took Dazhu to the inner city and the outer city for a walk.

As expected, more than half of the rice and grain shops have opened their doors, especially those old chain brands, who have started selling grain.

The price naturally rose to 40 cents per liter, and there was a limited purchase of three liters, but there were still a steady stream of people buying, and the long queues could not see the tail.

At the entrance of each rice shop, there are two imperial court patrols standing, responsible for supervising and maintaining order.

Overall, the anxiety of the people is written on their faces and does not relax because they can buy food.

Perhaps this is because there are notices posted at the entrance of each rice shop telling them that they only sell 2,000 stones of grain every day.

As for those small and medium-sized rice and grain shops that have not opened, they may have to observe for a day or two until they find that these big grain merchants really have to keep up with them.

As long as they all keep up, the big grain merchants have no chance of going back on their word.

Miao Yan had already sharpened his knife this time and was ready to kill a few to sacrifice the flag.

You said that 10,000 stones of grain may not be easy to check, but if you bring a family of 2,000 stones of grain, it will take no time to check them one bag after another.

Once found out, you will definitely kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Now it’s just a matter of seeing when Miao Heizi is about to start the operation and who is the “chicken” to be killed.

When the boy returned home, it was almost time for supper.

A note was also sent from the palace.

I opened it and saw that it was written, "Mr. Bai has left the palace and left Beijing, and I will take a boat to Yangzhou tonight."

Without saying it too clearly, Liu Mingqi already knew that the Minister of Salt Administration Bai Hengwang was frightened, so he ran to discuss with the salt merchants as quickly as possible.

It can also be seen from here that Bai Hengwang is a bit deep.

The note should have been written by Zhao Shou, and it was approved by Emperor Jing He.

Although Liu Mingqi was not qualified to inquire about the military affairs, he made the idea. With the result, Emperor Jing He notified him, which was reasonable.

Or it can be said that Emperor Jing He let him know the progress of the matter at any time, so that he can follow the progress in the future and continue to make suggestions.

To be honest, Liu Mingqi is not willing to get involved in the affairs of the court.

However, when one or two hundred million people were about to be affected, they would come to the palace to tell Jing Hedi about the experience of dynasties in another world in the other world.

The disaster relief in the new era is definitely not possible, but the methods of the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty should still be able to learn from them.

In the lifetime of life, one has to do something to be able to live up to one's conscience.

Even if you become a little prince, you can still be a moral and emotional prince!

...

When Gao Jing returned home in the evening, supper time had already passed, but his wife was still warming the dishes and waiting for him to come back.

After so many years, Mrs. Gao has always been like this. She always let Gao Jing have a hot meal when she returns home and drink a glass of wine.

It is just for this reason that Gao Jing will go home whenever he has free time and is unwilling to go out for social engagements.

Because of this, the queen also specially rewarded Mrs. Gao, praising her as a model for being a foreign wife in the court.

Gao Jing was either in the palace or in the embroidered yamen today. He had been busy for a day and had some time to rest now.

Governor Gao, who had been hungry for a long time, picked up a chicken leg and ate it, and drank it all in one glass of wine.

Mrs. Gao smiled and poured another cup for him, "My husband, are you busy today because of the locust plague coming?"

"Today is the beginning. With the arrival of locusts, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home for several days." Gao Jing ate and drank wine and reminded: "There is enough food at home. Don't worry, and don't rush to buy food."

"Well, I know." Mrs. Gao nodded, "Today I went to Daxiangguo Temple and saw the Miaowei Building in Prince Yu's Mansion selling rice porridge and steamed buns. That was a compassionate heart. My husband, can we also take out some food to help those poor people who can't afford to eat?"

"Let's wait and talk about this." Gao Jing shook his head, "You don't have to come forward, just let Xiao'er do it."

Gao Jing has two sons.

The eldest son Gao Zhong is in a pawnshop business, while the youngest son Gao Xiao is 18 years old this year, but he has already passed the imperial examination and has a bright future.

If Gao Xiao comes forward with such good deeds, he will add a lot of points to his reputation and will have a good shining point in his career in the future.

I have to say that Governor Gao is still very good at seeking fame and reputation.

Although he is the General of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who is afraid of everyone, he is also a serious three-plate awardee.

"oh."

Mrs. Gao obediently agreed. She was a woman, so of course she was not easy to come forward.

Speaking of this, Gao Jing suddenly put down the food in his hand, wiped his hands, and brought a small cloth bag from the side, "For you."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Gao reached out to take it and took out a small bottle with exquisite packaging. "This is... orchid essential oil!?"

After slid through the small cloth bag, her voice suddenly increased, "Husband, why did you buy me such expensive things? And it's ten bottles?"

The general of the Imperial Guards was from the second rank and enjoyed the salary of the Duke. "The annual salary was 3,000 taels of silver and 3,000 hu of rice." However, as long as there was no big mistake, they would generally receive double salary.

Therefore, even if Gao Jing does not have some extra money every year, his income is 6,000 taels of silver and 6,000 hu of grain.

With the inherent extra money, 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver per year is easy.

Gao Jing is a person who is indifferent by nature and doesn’t like money very much, so the wife is in charge of money. After all these years, the wife uses it to buy a house and buy land in her hometown. He doesn’t know how much property he has.

Ten bottles of orchid essential oil are actually not expensive, only one hundred taels of silver, and twenty bottles of trial packs are also required.

Mrs. Gao knew about this and a close friend even gave her a bottle of formal packaging.

Orchid essential oil is easy to use and is very comfortable to use. It is used up after two or three times.

Originally, Mrs. Gao had to buy some of it by herself, but when Mrs. Gao knew that a bottle of two taels would cost ten taels of silver, she never wanted to buy it again.

Too wasteful!

Now that her husband took ten bottles without saying a word, she also felt that it wasted.

"This is not bought, it was given by Prince Yu's Mansion." Gao Jing sat down again and ate and drank.

"Why do they give you this?" Mrs. Gao asked strangely.

Gao Jing sighed and talked about the soap workshop and the essential oil workshop. Mrs. Gao was so happy that she laughed.

"Captain Yu is so smart and so interesting!" Mrs. Gao couldn't help but praise.

"So he felt embarrassed, so he gave us some soap and floral essential oil to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office." Gao Jing said: "I didn't want the soap, I distributed it to the people below, but I remember you couldn't bear to buy this floral essential oil, so I took some back. From now on, there will be it every month."

"But you will not be included in the Censor's book by the imperial censor like this, right?" Mrs. Gao still understood some government affairs.

"It's okay, the emperor agreed to this matter." Gao Jing said lightly.

"That's fine."

Mrs. Gao happily held the essential oil of floral fragrance, and it was not enough to just look at it.

Gao Jing smiled.

He knew that his wife was determined to plan for this family and was always reluctant to eat, drink and buy things, otherwise he would not even take flower essential oil.

In contrast, the people under the Embroidered Guard Office were much more enthusiastic. After being allocated according to the size of the official position, everyone was basically happy, and even the disgust towards Prince Yu's Mansion disappeared without a trace.

When he came out of the yamen today, he saw a housekeeper in Prince Yu’s mansion chatting and joking with his lieutenant.

"My husband, who did you think of this idea of ​​giving something?" After a moment, Mrs. Gao asked, putting down the essential oil of flowers.

"Well, it should be Prince Yu." Gao Jing said without thinking, "It was him who went to tell the emperor that he wanted to give gifts."

"In your eyes, is Prince Yu a smart person?" Mrs. Gao continued to ask.

Gao Jing smiled bitterly, "If he is not smart, there will be few smart people in the world."

Mrs. Gao was very satisfied with his answer and said in a low voice: "Do you think it's good to let Zhonger be friends with him and then have the opportunity to do business with him?"

"No! Not good!"

Gao Jing immediately frowned, "Don't even think about it!"

"Why?" Mrs. Gao was dissatisfied. "Is Prince Yu not smart? Can't do it? Or is he narrow-minded and your son can't learn anything with him?"

"No." Gao Jing sighed, "Madam, have you heard a word? The wood is fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy it."

"He is a prince and the future prince. According to the tradition of our Dakang Dynasty, who dares to destroy him?"

"He is so outstanding and smart, beyond the imagination..."

Gao Jing held back and did not tell his wife what the emperor told him today.

But he always felt that such a strategy should not have been thought of by the ministers in the court.

Thinking of the fact that Prince Yu and Miao Yan were staying in the imperial study for nearly two hours today, he seemed to have understood something.

There is no problem with a prince eating, drinking, having fun, and doing business to make money.

But if you can have extraordinary vision and strategy in the court, is this a good thing?

Although the current prince is a good person, the people around him are of varying quality.

What their attitudes and ideas towards Liu Mingqi directly influenced the views of the next emperor.

It's still a bit hard to say what will happen in the future!

So Gao Jing originally planned to get along with Liu Mingqi indifferently and not have too much contact.

Unexpectedly, the wife actually thought about asking her eldest son to surrender to Liu Mingqi. Isn’t this causing trouble for herself?

Mrs. Gao was a little angry, but she didn't continue to talk about her husband's serious attitude.

But she didn't give up.

Anyway, it’s a long time, and even if you observe, it won’t delay your son’s future.

I'm trying hard to write a book. By the way, I update six or seven thousand words every day, and I can save some manuscripts. Shouldn't you applaud? Don't let the boy get cold and feel the passion~
