Back in the shopkeeper's room, looking at the price statistics of the stack of grain stores on the table, Cheng Weiyao realized that there was no need to remind him, Wen Chengyun had already noticed that something was wrong.

"There may be a real problem with the granary in the capital. These are the rice grains brought by Feiying. I don't think it looks right. The granary's inventory is indeed in a hurry, and we may need our support."

Wen Chengyun poured out some of the rice grains from Feiying's bamboo tube.According to the letters in the capital, the general followed the Hubu Shangshu to the granary according to the emperor's calculation.But after all, he is a warrior, and he has very little knowledge about food.

The troops hadn't eaten anything when they were marching and fighting, so Sun Youcai's batch of rice with slight muscle strain seemed nothing unusual to the general.But just to be on the safe side, he sneakily grabbed a handful and handed it to Jiang Dehai.

And Jiang Dehai immediately transferred this part of the sample rice to Wen Chengfeng. After all, Wen Chengfeng was used to rich clothes and fine food for many years, so he couldn't see why.

He was in the Bauhinia City, so he could call the imperial doctor to check it out, but there were too many people in the palace who didn't want to take risks.He simply brought the rice to Wen Chengyun.

As the saying goes, there is a priority in learning, and there is a specialization in art. Cheng Weiyao, as a modern Michelin chef, is familiar with all kinds of ingredients.When she saw the rice on the table, she frowned.

"This is the rice from the granary in the capital? This rice cannot be eaten for a long time, it will kill people! Look at this side, although the mildew is mild, it is obvious that the tendons are already stretched..."

You know, no matter what era it is, once the rice becomes moldy, it is absolutely inedible. It can cause liver damage, human poisoning, and severe cases, such as legs turning up and death from cancer.

Wen Chengyun originally planned to ask Huo Yuanfeng to check it out, but he didn't expect his wife's sharp eyesight to draw a conclusion right away.He picked up the rice grains, carefully observed what Cheng Weiyao had said, and after confirming that it was correct, he wanted to send the identification method back.

"Husband, don't worry. It is not easy to collect such a large-scale old rice. You must cooperate with the grain shop in the capital to obtain a solid certificate..."

Cheng Weiyao shook her head lightly, signaling Wen Chengyun not to worry.As soon as the identification method came out, although it could be confirmed that Sun Youcai had committed a serious dereliction of duty, it would probably be too much to beat him to death with a hammer.

Wen Chengyun nodded, except for the line that Cheng Weiyao added.With such a large-scale swap, the use of grain must not be simple.In the near future, I can tell my father to pay attention to Sun Youcai's movements, and see if he has contacts with those officials in the DPRK...

As for the capital, Wen Chengfeng smiled when he received Feiying, and he immediately asked Jiang Dehai to deliver a banquet to the ministers.

"Ministers of the third rank and above in the imperial court are not allowed to be absent without reason. Especially Sun Youcai, even if he is sick, he has to come to me. You go to invite me yourself!"

Although Jiang Dehai was a little puzzled, the emperor had always been frowning these days, and it was a good thing that he was in high spirits now.

Soon, the imperial decree was issued to the residences of various officials.As for Jiang Dehai, he changed into casual clothes and went to Master Shangshu's house in person.

When Sun Youcai was kneeling to listen to the imperial decree, he always felt a little uneasy.

Now that the food in the capital is in short supply, how could Wen Chengfeng, who has always shown himself as a benevolent king, hold a banquet at this juncture?Isn't this just revealing the pigtails for people with ulterior motives to pull them out?
"Master Shangshu, what are you doing in a daze? Accept the order."

Jiang Dehai looked at Sun Youcai with a stiff expression, but felt a little suspicious in his heart.Ordinary officials don't know how honored they are to see him coming with an imperial edict, but this Sun Youcai looks thoughtful...

"Why didn't you see that Director Jiang was working hard? You don't have any sense of humor at all. Do you think about the vixen you met privately in the middle of the night! Hurry up and thank you!"

Mrs. Shangshu raised her hand from behind and viciously grabbed the soft flesh on Sun Youcai's waist.Ever since the shoddy plan started, Sun Youcai ran outside when he had nothing to do, and he didn't say anything when asked. Mrs. Shangshu's patience was already on the edge.

Now even the banquet in the palace, this man is hesitant, is he afraid of delaying the date with the little goblin?
"Ouch! Director Xie Jiang, please go slowly, I will see you off..."

Sun Youcai quickly recovered from being pinched by his wife.He smiled shyly, and sent Jiang Dehai out the door eagerly.

And the banquet also officially kicked off at dusk. In the palace, there were staggered cups of wine, singing and dancing, and on the surface, it seemed to be a joyous affair.

As the empress, Jiang Mengyuan was naturally accompanying the emperor. She looked at the wine and meat underneath and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the common people are still hungry, and the palace is like this..."

Jiang Mengyuan's words seemed to be for Wen Chengfeng's consideration, but she actually wanted to test the emperor's mind through this little trick.Based on her understanding of the emperor, there is absolutely no reason to be so extravagant for no reason.

"The empress is at ease, I have my own plans."

Wen Chengfeng didn't say much, but just patted Jiang Mengyuan's hand to show comfort.Soon, all kinds of dishes were served, and he coughed and announced the origin of the rice at the banquet.

Hearing that the white rice came from the granary, Sun Youcai swallowed the rice either or not.He knew very well that there was something wrong with the rice in the granary, especially for the elderly and children, one bad one would really kill them.

Sun Jieyu has been in the palace for many years, so he is naturally not too young.

"What's wrong with Sun Aiqing? The food in my palace is not to my liking?"

Wen Chengfeng asked questions slowly, his tone seemed a little drunk, but in fact he squinted his eyes to see everyone's appearance.

"I don't dare, the banquet hosted by the Holy Majesty must be a delicious meal, it's my honor..."

How could Sun Youcai dare to say no, he is now a dumb man eating coptis, he is suffering and can't tell!

"Then Sun Aiqing has to eat a few more bowls. If Aiqing eats a lot, I will give Sun Jieyu a seat."

Wen Chengfeng laughed inexplicably. Sun Youcai was obviously an insider, so he didn't dare to eat more. Manipulating shoddy things is probably the old man's idea!

These words simply put Sun Youcai on fire. It is no secret that the emperor often goes to Sun Jieyu's palace recently.The other ministers all consciously bowed their hands in congratulations.

"Come on, old grandson! This is the emperor's grace, so I'm trying to find a reason to raise the status of Empress Jieyu!"

"Sure enough, the words of the palace are not completely unbelievable, congratulations, grandson!"

The colleagues sitting next to him cupped their hands and looked at Sun Youcai with envious eyes.
