His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 82 Take It From The People
In the end, His Majesty made a final decision, and the prince, as the person in charge of disaster relief, will leave for Jiangnan tomorrow.

King Jing, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry fully assisted, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War are on standby at any time.

***

Here, the Hubu Shangshu who received His Majesty's decree is about to lose all his hair.

He found the prince: "In the winter, there was a snowstorm in the three northern states, and most of the money and food in the treasury were taken out. Now the supplies to be sent to the south of the Yangtze River are really not complete!"

Who would have thought?
As the world's granary, Jiangnan still needs to transfer food from other places for disaster relief?

It's simply a joke of the world.

Most of the annual salaries collected by the imperial court come from Youzhou and Jizhou. It is true that the south of the Yangtze River is rich, but it is not the pockets of the imperial court who are rich!
The prince was not surprised when he heard the words: "It's okay, the Ministry of Household Affairs can only assist the Imperial Hospital in mobilizing medicinal materials, and the food does not need to be allocated by the treasury."

Hubu Shangshu was ecstatic: "???"

"Your Highness, are you serious?"

"You have no jokes."

But the Minister of the Ministry of Households was also worried about where the other party would mobilize the grain and grass. If something went wrong at that time, he could hardly absolve himself of the blame for His Majesty's crime.

"Your Highness, I dare to ask, where do you plan to collect food and grass?"

The prince considered it for a while, beautified it, and said:
"Naturally...take it from the people and use it for the people."

Hubu Shangshu: "..."

Understand in seconds.

He applauded in his heart.

What a "take from the people, use for the people"!
Goodbye, Your Highness the Crown Prince!

He knew best in the household department that more than half of the land in the south of the Yangtze River was annexed by landlords to evade taxes, and more than half of the rice in the world's granaries went into the private granaries of those people.

Just waiting for when to hoard and make a fortune.

The prince is definitely going to pluck wool from these people.

Terrific!Wonderful!

Hubu Shangshu came with a heavy face, and left with a relaxed face.

People who have been paying attention to this movement all the time are confused.

***

"Father, do you think the crown prince is going to Jingzhou or Yangzhou?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the residence of the uncle of the country.

Wang's father and son are also discussing this matter in the study.

The eldest son of the king is now in the official department.

With the escort of his father, the eldest son of the Wang family is not incompetent, and now he has reached the rank of fifth-rank servant at a young age.

Yes.

About the same age as Chen Zhuolin, but has an official position as old as his father.

The eldest son of the Wang family is amazingly talented and looks like his grandfather, Mr. Wang. It is already a recognized fact in the circle of Shangjing.

It was Wang Youzhi, the second son of the Wang family who asked this question.

The Second Young Master was favored by Wang Shangshu to sit here, but it was not because of his outstanding ability.

It is purely because this kid is not stingy and has a sweet mouth, which is deeply loved by Mrs. Wang and Wang Shangshu.

Wang Shangshu has four sons and daughters, half of them, and several sons and daughters.

The eldest son among the legitimate sons is already so outstanding, and they have successors in the royal family of Shangjing.

The requirements for the youngest son are not so strict.

Hearing the younger son's question at this time, Wang Shangshu did not answer immediately.

Instead, he asked his eldest son, "What do Yuanzhi think?"

Wang Yuanzhi thought for a moment, and replied: "The most severe disaster is the junction of Jingyang and Yangzhou, so...His Royal Highness should go to Yuzhou first."

Wang Youzhi: "???"

Why did the crown prince go to Yuzhou when the disaster was the worst in Jingyangzhou?
Wang Yuanzhi explained:

"As His Royal Highness King Jing said, Runan in the south of Yuzhou is indeed a good place to resettle the victims of the Changyuan River. When the disaster situation in these two states is relieved, you can go east along the way to Lujiang, Jiujiang, Yuzhang, and even Xuzhou... ...so, is the most appropriate path."

Wang Shangshu gave a "hmm".

Neither said yes nor said no.

"A few days ago, the governor of Qingzhou changed people. Our people in Beihai and Donglai were purged, and those who were left dared not send any news. The family has already expressed some complaints. Jiangnan can no longer cause trouble."

Salt, iron, and food are the most important materials for people's livelihood.

The demand is huge, but the production is not much.

Such a price is naturally expensive, and the families of poor people may not be able to eat a few taels of salt all year round.

As for food, it is silver in times of abundance and gold in times of trouble.

When there is abundance, the common people will not only satisfy their hunger, but also want to have enough food.

In difficult times, food is the lifeline.

So there is no disadvantage in hoarding food at any time.

As an important strategic material, ironware is naturally all government-run.

Once the folks discover privately forged weapons, the punishment is extremely severe.

General ironware is not prohibited.

Only every blacksmith shop and blacksmith must be registered by the government, and the iron ore consumed every year must also be recorded.

It is precisely because of this that many aristocratic families started to attack salt and grain.

They colluded with the local aborigines and parents' officials, bribed the salt transport officials and food escort officials of the imperial court, and in the end they didn't let them say anything.

Today there are two large salt fields in Dajing, one in the Beihai area of ​​Qingzhou, and the other in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qingzhou Salt Field, now that the imperial court has changed the governor, they are no longer in control.

Wang Yuanzhi frowned.

"The prince's trip is probably not just a simple disaster relief..."

The Guliang Dam in Xin'an County was built less than five years ago.

The upper and lower reaches of Yuliang Dam are the areas most affected by the breach.

The prince will definitely check Guliangba.

By the time……

Wang Shangshu was also a little worried.

Apparently he was also very annoyed at this prince who was obviously his own nephew, but was worse than an outsider.

"The Jiangnan salt field and the granary are very important to my Wang family. The prince must not be asked to find out anything!"

They have lost Qingzhou.

If Jiangnan is lost again, the status of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the status of the aristocratic family will be greatly reduced.

At that time, Langya's branch will laugh at their own family again.

***

Jiang Fuxuan.

Chen Fulin knew that the crown prince was leaving Beijing early tomorrow morning, so he was very upset.

"Master, His Highness must be busy at the moment, why don't you go to Changxin Hall to have a look?"

Bi Luo knew that her master was worried, so she suggested.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

In case His Royal Highness is so busy that he forgets and has no time to say goodbye to their master, then their master will definitely be unhappy.

In the past six months, the prince was either in Changxin Hall or Jiangfuxuan.

He has never been to other wives and concubines, Jiang Fuxuan has a very rebellious idea in his life.

It was as if their master and His Highness the Crown Prince were a serious couple, and no one else existed.

Chen Fulin was a little moved.

But she looked at her belly which was so fat that she could no longer see her toes...

just forget it.

After four months, her belly has inflated as quickly as a balloon.

She looked much better than when she was pregnant with a good cub in her previous life.

It was probably at that time that their lives were poor and they failed to give him good nutrition.

Now that the conditions are better, she can eat whatever she wants and sleep when she wants, which has made him stronger.

"No, His Highness must be busy right now."

If he had time, he would definitely come to see their wives.

Disaster relief is like fire fighting.

The situation in Jiangnan is not so good.

She remembered that many people should have died at that time, and there were other things that should be very helpful to the prince.

It's just that she couldn't remember it for a while.

When you think about it, write to the prince again!

There is a good saying, "One pregnancy is stupid for three years".

She felt that she had begun to be stupid.
