The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

1095 - Release the message

After returning to the inner study, Gu Chengyu picked up the letter and read it carefully. Is this a letter from the elder brother?
Gu Chengyu was a little strange, could it be that the elder brother was looking for him urgently?

After a few breaths, Gu Chengyu read the contents of the letter in general.

The emperor is ill?Gu Chengyu frowned, remembering that the emperor took the longevity pill last time, could it be that the longevity pill was just a cover?
The letter also mentioned that Xia Qing did not agree with the chamber of commerce, and the court was still discussing it, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Moreover, the crown prince is now in charge of the country, and Xia Qing is his assistant, which is very unfavorable to him.

Gu Chengyu calculated the approximate date, if the letter passed through the post station, it would take at least five or six days to arrive.

The current trend of the court must have changed, and I don't know what the situation is.

Regarding the chamber of commerce, even if Xia Qing objected, it would be possible for him to come up with a solution after he returned to the capital.

In fact, it is better to postpone the matter of the chamber of commerce.Because it's not worthwhile for him to make meritorious service now, he didn't get promoted, and wasted a great opportunity, but what he's really worried about now is the emperor's body.

If the emperor's dragon body is difficult to heal this time, or even drive westward in the end, it is very possible, after all, the emperor is getting old.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, will he be reused like the current emperor?It's not that he is not confident, but that every emperor has his own preferences and ideas.

Maybe he has his own team, or he just doesn't like him?Anyway, in the future, he can't do things as casually as he does now.

As for whether the new emperor will be the crown prince, he doesn't think that the other party is sure.

Prince Gong, like Prince Jing, was ambitious.The third prince, who has become a monk, seems to be honest for the time being, but I don't know if there will be some tricks in private.

It seems that he has to make preparations, the emperor is afraid that his lifespan will be short.

"My lord, the Xia family has also started selling grain." Ming Mo entered the room and said excitedly.

"Oh? What's the price?" Putting this matter aside for now, Gu Chengyu was also relieved to hear the good news.

"It's the same price as the previous home rice shop, nine cents a catty of brown rice, and Jiang's is already selling eight cents a catty." Ming Mo smiled a little, very satisfied with the result.

Because of the rice grain incident, he almost lost all his hair.For this reason, they also made two long trips, and these people finally lost their composure.

However, what he admires the most is his lord, who has been able to arrange for such a long time, isn't he in a hurry?
"Oh! Go and tell those yamen servants that we sell eight cents a catty now. Remember, you can sell it for a thousand catties, don't sell more."

Now is the time to finish, Gu Chengyu must not take it lightly.

The food in the granary urgently needs to be replenished, and he dare not continue to owe it.According to the prince's style, officials will be dispatched soon to take over the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture.

If the new magistrate came and inspected the granary and found that the granary was more than half empty, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
So he had to add a bit of strong medicine to make Xia family mess up.If this is not enough, then add a little more.

"Yes!" Ming Mo can now understand his lord's intentions, and he has his reasons for everything he does.

"After two hours, go and inquire about Xia's rice price."

"Besides, Jiang Shi, you should pay more attention." Gu Chengyu became a little curious about Jiang Shi, the speed of the price reduction is really fast!

The rice store at home opened first, and the Jiang family followed closely behind.Unexpectedly, Jiang's is now cheaper than the ones sold at home, as if they want to sell them as soon as possible, which is a bit strange.

"Also, have you agreed with those people you arranged? Then, I will spread it to several houses to buy food, and buy more at a time."

Gu Chengyu curled his lips slightly, it would be great if these three families could fight each other.

But he can't send people to buy food in large quantities, otherwise that old fox, Patriarch Xia, will immediately notice something is wrong.So we can only find more people, spread them out, and buy more at a time.

This is really a troublesome thing, but the common people now have a lot of food themselves.Everyone buys a lot. As long as it is not excessive, it will not attract attention.

After the imperial court sent the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture, he would be able to return to the capital.

But before he left, he had to remove the poison sac that Daxing had left behind in the south of the Yangtze River.

Gu Chengyu is still a little puzzled, how come the assassin hasn't acted in the past few days?Did they give up?
Or did they already know about the confession of the bull?I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but the other party didn't respond.

The purpose of these people coming to Dayan Dynasty is self-evident. Daxing has been eyeing Dayan for a long time, and has long since made no secret of their ambitions.

"Ming Mo, release the news that we have captured the bull." Gu Chengyu originally wanted to wait, and arrest two more for interrogation.

Among these people, there is always someone who knows more than Man Niu.The young master is an important person, and the main task of these people is to find the young master.

But why come to Dayan to find the young master?This is an oddity.Gu Chengyu rubbed his chin, thinking for a long time, so the young master is probably not very old, and he was still living in Dayan when he was young.

Otherwise, an older young master still needs to be found by his men?These people appeared in Yingnan Mansion, could it be that the young master is in Yingnan Mansion?

Gu Chengyu squinted his eyes slightly, if they found the young master next, wouldn't they have seized the opportunity?
"My lord! Those people have been silent for the past few days, have they given up their plan to assassinate you? Maybe they have more important things to do? If we release the news of the arrest of the bull, they will not reveal the secret. Not only do you want to kill the bull, but also pick up the task of assassination, so what should we do?"

Ming Mo attaches great importance to the safety of his own adults, and they come to Jiangnan with not many people.If these people are afraid that the bull will reveal some important information, and send experts to assassinate the lord and the bull, they will be exhausted.

Gu Chengyu smiled, "Your analysis is good, but Man Niu only confessed some irrelevant information. The best way to identify whether he has concealed it is to see whether the other party takes Man Niu seriously."

In the prison before, because of Lu Chen's presence, Gu Chengyu didn't ask for some important information.

Although he has a cooperative relationship with Lu Chen now, he doesn't want to disclose all the news to Lu Chen.Man Niu must have concealed something, and it is impossible to be ignorant of the young master's news.

After Ming Mo listened to it, he finally realized that if Man Niu knew more, those people would never be able to keep Man Niu alive.If you don't know much, it doesn't matter if you get caught.

For the sake of a brute, it is impossible to get more capable subordinates.

However, Ming Mo still has a question.Didn't Ding Shi say that the Lord told Man Niu to speak up in the prison before, so why didn't the Lord stop trying to make Man Niu explain things clearly?
