Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Pei Yuanzhang put the tea cup on the table and Shen said, "What's going on outside?"

"When you return to your Highness, the situation is under control temporarily, and all the hungry people are arranged in the south of the city."

"What about food?"

"Xiaguan has ordered people to open a porridge factory immediately, to stabilize those hungry people first."

Although the situation has stabilized, everyone knows that these are just expedient measures. Those hungry people need to eat enough food, but the congee factory can only provide fruit belly, and this time it is snowing in Yangzhou. In the past, it was much colder, and the victims also needed a lot of winter clothing and heating.

It seems that this matter is really more tricky than ever.

Pei Yuanzhang said: "You just said that food storage is not enough to cope with these hungry people. How much food storage is there in Yangzhou City and how long can it be supported?"

"This—" Hong Wenquan hesitated, and didn't answer immediately. Pei Yuanzhang looked sharply at him, Hong Wenquan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "No, less than three days."

what? I stood aside and was surprised.

Less than three days! How is it possible that Jiangnan, known as the hometown of fish and rice, is the granary of the entire Central Plains, and Yangzhou is the richest city in the south? How can it be possible to store grain here for less than three days? How is this possible?

Pei Yuanxi laughed angrily, sitting at the table and slowly taking up a tea cup and taking a sip, leisurely said: "Master Hong, are you embarrassing this palace, or are you joking with this palace?"

"Wei, Weichen dare not."

"Then you tell this palace, where have all the grain stores in Yangzhou City gone?"

"This--"

Hong Wenquan knelt on the ground and shivered, and couldn't say a word for a long time. Pei Yuanzhang's slender eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold murderous spirit. At this moment, there was another burst of news from outside. The rapid footsteps, I saw Yang Yunhui rushed in with someone: "Three brother!"

"what happened?"

Yang Yunhui glanced at Hong Wenquan kneeling on the ground and said, "I just received the news that all the rice shop grain shops in Yangzhou had been closed last night. People heard that the victims had entered the city and were buying rice grains. A robbery occurred in several places, and now there is chaos outside. "

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanzhang understood something immediately, looking down at Hong Wenquan, and his eyes burst into anger.

At this time, Hong Wenquan also knew that the matter had been revealed, and the **** was repeated: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, the criminals have convicted!"

He was desperately scratching his head on the ground, and soon a bloodstain was struck on his forehead, crying with tears and embarrassed, but looking at him, I did not have the slightest sympathy in my heart-I thought he was because of the city Insufficient grain hoarding turned the victims out of the city. Although he was hard-hearted, he was still thinking about the overall situation, but now he knows that he is actually collaborating with grain merchants in the back to prepare hoarding grain, and using the disaster to coax rice Price, earn unlucky money!

It is no wonder that he would keep the victims ten miles away from the city, not because the victims would break into the city, but because Pei Yuanzhang knew it, and his wishful thinking was defeated!

Pei Yuanzhang Huo Ran stood up and said, "Catch it and go to jail!"

"Yes!"

The people around did not dare to neglect, and immediately came up and grabbed Hong Wenquan, who had been so scared and begging for mercy, and Pei Yuanzhang said coldly, "Wait this thing, this palace will pick your skin!"

After speaking, he went outside and said to Yang Yunhui as he walked: "To mobilize people immediately, we must stabilize the situation in Yangzhou, and we can no longer allow the victims to join them in trouble!"

Yang Yunhui immediately nodded and followed. They walked out hurriedly. When they reached the gate of the inner courtyard, Pei Yuanzhang seemed to feel something. Looking back, I was following him because they were moving too fast and I almost trot. Before he could keep up, he stopped and said to me, "You don't have to follow."
