Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 211;

"Now the court has no food, and there are so many victims."

"At this time, only the aristocratic family has food in their hands. If they are beaten at this time, it is easy for someone to take advantage of them. I am afraid that it will cause a civil uprising."

He really wanted to fight the family, and in the past two years, he almost stopped thinking about it all the time.

But he can't really do it, especially at this juncture.

Don't look at him asking Lord Zhen Guo to lead troops to fight two days ago, it was just casual talk, and he wanted to test whether Lord Zhen Guo was still as obedient as before.

If Zhen Guogong directly agreed to it as before, he would ask Wen Songtao to find a way to stop it.

At this time, fighting the family, wouldn't that mean giving the family a chance to inspire the people?
At the least, there will be a civil uprising, and at the worst, it is very likely that the entire East Continent will be subverted.

This is not his exaggeration, you must know why the previous court collapsed?Isn't it because the people can't eat and the court doesn't do anything?
"Why is there no food?"

"Don't His Majesty know what's going on outside the city?"

King Jin spoke in surprise.

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen was a little dazed, and immediately asked, "What's going on outside the city?"

"You don't know?"

Seeing that Emperor Hongwen was still in a daze, the King of Jin showed a look of bewilderment.

"So you really don't know, Brother Huang."

"Lord Wanfu County, the recent actions are not small, and many people outside are talking about it."

Hearing the title of Lord Wanfu, Emperor Hongwen immediately became interested.

And there was some dumbfounding, one had to know that one had to enter the palace the next day to thank one for receiving a title.

This Wanfu county lord is good, after being appointed, he hasn't come to thank him until now.

If it were someone else, Emperor Hongwen would be furious and dissatisfied, but he has nothing to do with Lu Yaoyao, the head of Wanfu County.

After all, what did the magistrate say?

He originally wanted to ask himself to be expelled from the title, but he forcibly rewarded him as the county head.

For this girl, at first he was tolerant because of Lu Yunjun's face, but as she revealed more and more things, his view of this girl also changed a little.

This is a talent, and there are great talents.

And she is still a daughter, such a person, it is not too good for him.

You can give rewards with confidence, and you don't have to worry about other messy things.

"What happened to her again?"

"I remember that after she angered civil servants in the court last time, there were many rumors about her in the capital, and those common people and scholars spoke very highly of her."

Hearing this, King Jin smiled and said, "The start and end are high, Brother Huang, don't you know?"

"Many scholars in the capital now regard the four sentences she said as the goal of life."

"It is said that she can be the teacher of scholars all over the world, and those friends of my younger brother call her Lu Wenzong now."

"Lu Wenzong?"

Emperor Hongwen smacked his mouth twice, thought about what Lu Yaoyao said that day, and nodded in agreement.

"She deserves that title."

"Tell me about her recent big moves."

Hearing this, King Jin nodded and said, "In the past few days, people in her village bought wheat, chickens, ducks and geese in large quantities everywhere in the capital."

"It is said that tens of thousands of shi of wheat and tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese have been purchased."

"so much?"

Emperor Hongwen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why is she buying so many things?"

"There are tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese, so don't they need food?"

Tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese, how much food is needed every day.

He is now worrying about food, and this Wanfu county lord is still so wasteful, which makes him a little dissatisfied and very unhappy.

"This is what the younger brother came to talk to the emperor today."

"I know you are worrying about food."

Emperor Hongwen was a little baffled by his words.

"Wheat is food, but it can't provide disaster relief."

Maizi, as far as Dongzhou's cooking methods are concerned, the food cooked by that stuff is really hard to swallow.

If this kind of food is used for disaster relief, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

"Wheat can't be eaten, but steamed buns are fine."

"Steamed buns?"

"What is this?"

Jin Wang hurriedly told about the steamed buns in Lu Yaoyao Village recently.

And also said that this thing is made of wheat flour, and it tastes very delicious.

As for why he knew so clearly, in fact, last night, someone from Lu Yaoyao outside the city sent him a secret letter, which was written about wheat and flour, buns and steamed buns.

"Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. People in the main village of Wanfu County outside the city can't do without steamed buns every day."

"I heard that the stuff is not only delicious, but also very hungry. It's all made of wheat powder?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen stood up in surprise.

"Wang De, hurry up, go and invite Wanfu County Lord into the palace, you go there and invite him in person."

Wang De quickly agreed, but he was stopped by King Jin just as he was about to leave.

"Brother Huang, wait a minute."

"Ok?"

Emperor Hongwen turned his head to look at King Jin, frowning slightly.

"Now is not the time to invite her. At present, the news about steamed buns has slowly spread. I believe that what we need to do at this time is not to find the Lord Wanfu to enter the palace, but to quickly find trustworthy people and buy wheat from various places. .”

"Before the price of wheat has risen, let's control it first, so as to avoid being preempted by the family when we can."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen's heart trembled.

That's right, since the king of Jin said so confidently, there must be no falsehood.

Nowadays, most of the food on the market has been collected by the aristocratic family. Because wheat is not edible, no one cares about it.

Naturally, the price will not be high. Before the matter spreads, it is best to hold it in your hands first, and then go to verify it.

"Wang De, go to Wenxiang's mansion and ask him to arrange for people to start buying wheat. Remember to let him act in secret and buy more wheat as quickly as possible."

Wang De responded and left.

Emperor Hongwen was in the imperial study again, after pacing back and forth several times.

"Imperial brother, you wait here for a while, I go to change clothes, you accompany me to go outside the city."

"Okay, my younger brother will make arrangements."

The two left the imperial study one after the other, and about two quarters of an hour later, Emperor Hongwen secretly left the palace.

Almost at the same time, Wen Songtao also took action.

"Miss, you are too powerful, aren't you?"

"This flour is so beautiful in your hands."

Idle is also idle, Lu Yaoyao has been tossing flour a lot in recent days.

Steamed buns and steamed buns are just the most basic cooking methods of flour.

Then there are dumplings and noodles. Lu Yaoyao started making pastries again after he was free. He made them with flour and eggs.

"It's a pity that there is no oven, otherwise I can make a lot of things for you."
