After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Nan Baoyi picked up a few letters and read them.

The expression on Bai Nen's small face gradually became dignified.

The severe drought in Shu County is very critical this year and next year.

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

Xiao Yi slowly peeled the lychees.

A few days ago at Jin Yu Man Tang, that Boss Wan tried in vain to unite with the grain merchants in Shu County to increase the price of grain, asking him to do so, but he refused.

Come to think of it, this is their revenge.

Fly camp dog dog, disgusting.

He peeled off the lychee core, fed the lychee meat into Nan Baoyi's mouth, with a half-smile: "What does Jiaojiao think?"

"The second elder brother is afraid that they will block some people's money, so they will make such a bad plan." Nan Baoyi said in a deep voice, "If you can find Hong Laojiu's granary in a short time, you can call the county magistrates of thirty-two counties at the same time. Keep your mouth shut, apart from the prefect of Shu County, no one else can do it!"

The Cheng family is deeply rooted in Shu County.

Cheng Taishou has many disciples, and the county magistrates of the thirty-two counties are the only ones who follow him, which can be said to be powerful.

Nan Baoyi knew that his virtue was unworthy, but he never expected that he would dare to collect money so blatantly, even regardless of how miserable the people are!

So much food, it's all the hard work of the second brother!

It actually caught fire!

The imperial envoy is still here, isn't he afraid of being exposed for his crimes? !

She grabbed Xiao Yi's wide sleeves and was about to cry angrily, "Second Brother, while Nine Thousand Years Old is still here, let's go and expose the crimes of Prefect Cheng?"

"It's useless."

Xiao Yi peeled the lychees with a cool posture.

"Why didn't it work?"

"Gu Chongshan is a member of King Cheng's faction, while Cheng Huan and Xue Dingwei are neutral factions. This time Gu Chongshan came to Shu County, other than investigating the theft of disaster relief silver and selecting imperial merchants, do you think he has no other purpose?"

Nan Baoyi was startled.

Now that the prince is an adult, the battle for the throne is beginning.

Xue Dingwei, who has an army of 400,000,

Cheng Hui, who had power over Shu County, was naturally the object that King Cheng wanted to win over.

Therefore, Gu Chongshan came to win them over.

Gu Chongshan won't help second brother...

Her heart sank a little bit.

Xiao Yi fed her another lychee.

He chuckled: "Little girl, you stay in the boudoir all day reading poems and books, embroidering flowers and birds, aren't you happy? Why do you always want to get involved in these big things? With my brother around, we won't let us Jiaojiao be abused by others." Bully."

Nan Baoyi didn't make a sound.

She leaned on Xiao Yi's shoulder and buried her face in his neck.

It's just very embarrassing!

Returning from rebirth, obviously occupying the right time and place, obviously hoarding so much rice, obviously able to save hundreds of thousands of people, but because of the greed of others, the success fell short...

Although she is a boudoir girl, although she has little talent and learning, she also knows that "she is humble and dare not forget to worry about the country".

Those people are in high positions and have read sage books 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 weapon in the world.

It was so easy, it made him feel like a knife pierced his heart.

He gently stroked the little girl's head, "It will be fine, my brother assures you that the whole Shu County will be fine.

"The county magistrates of the thirty-two counties are in vain as parents' officials, so let's kill them to thank the world. Cheng Taishou corrupted the law and used power for personal gain, then let his crimes be known to the world.

"I want my homeland, where the rivers are clear and the sea is clean, and the world is prosperous and peaceful. I want my people to live and work in peace and contentment."

And also his little girl, who is as charming as a pearl, as precious as a jewel!

The promise of youth is resounding.

Nan Baoyi believed him.

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

Nan Baoyi wraps her arms around his neck coquettishly, lingering in his arms and refuses to come out.

Shen Yichao silently covered his wide sleeves.

Women are such a hassle.

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

but……

For the sake of this girl's innocence, I can barely give her a first rank and be rated as the seventh rank.

Nanfu is still relatively quiet.

In the entire Shu County, as countless granaries were burned and the Hongjia rice shop was sold out, panic finally broke out.

The price of rice shops has increased one after another, and within a day, the price of grain has more than quintupled.

All kinds of sensational rumors spread, making the people think that the drought will last until next year, and it is necessary to stockpile food now.

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

As the panic spread, the order of the town became disordered, and some people even went to other houses to rob rice grains desperately, causing even greater disasters.

Robbers ran rampant outside the towns, occupied rivers and lakes, and displaced the people in the villages.

The number of refugees is increasing day by day.

Taishoufu.

Cheng Hui sat behind the desk, dipped his fingertips in his saliva, and slowly flipped through "The Analects of Confucius".

The butler came in with a few 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 have a look."

Cheng Hui put down "The Analects of Confucius".

Looking through the account books, in just half a month, Mipu earned as much as the three quarters of last year.

"The common people are still rushing for rice grains. Boss Wan only sells a little every day. Most of the grains are still hoarded in the warehouse. They just wait to sell them after winter and earn a lot of money from them!" The housekeeper couldn't agree more. Pucker up, "Boss Wan also said that the master is the most honest prefect in the world, just like his parents, so he purposely donated 40% of the income to show filial piety to you!"

"Four percent……"

Taishou Cheng knocked on the desk, smiling elegantly, "I'm pretty sensible. How's the situation with Xiao Yi?"

"Master, don't worry, all his granaries have been burnt down. In addition, the price of grain in other counties is also increasing. Even if you want to transport grain in, it will not be so easy."

Cheng Taishou smiled even wider, and opened "The Analects of Confucius" with emotion, "Shu County is thousands of miles away, as the prefect, I am really exhausted! What happened to Gu Chongshan?"

"The governor of the West Factory temporarily lives in Jinyumantang, and it seems that he is not in a hurry to return to Shengjing City. These days, he has always wanted to meet the governor Xue, probably to support King Cheng's canonization of the crown prince. However, the governor has never seen 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 matters, and he didn't show a decent gift. He didn't pay attention to me at all. He is happy to stay in Jinguan City , then let him stay."

The butler said yes with a smile.

When he came out of the study, the maid came to invite him, saying that it was Madam who asked him to check the expenses at work.

When I came to the flower hall in the backyard, Mrs. Cheng Huang was sitting upright, drinking almond tea.

Nan Yan sat on her knees, pinching her legs carefully, as if she were filial.

Hearing the housekeeper mention the rice shop's big profits, Huang's smile was from ear to ear.

She sneered: "It is said that Nan's family can do business. I see, our Cheng's mansion is good at doing business. Don't you think so, Nan Yan?"

"Mother-in-law said," Nan Yan meekly said, "After all, our Cheng family is a scholarly family and a wealthy family. We usually disdain business. If it really manages, what is the mere Nan family?"
