Mugui

Chapter 255

In the early morning of the next day, Jing Zhaoyin and the generals of the city defense army reported the incident of the explosion last night and the results of the investigation.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces already knew about it last night, but they are still shocked today.

The courtiers were shocked and angry.

16 people were killed, 37 were seriously injured, and hundreds were slightly injured.

And all of this is because the wood shop piled up sawdust in the backyard, and there were many lights during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sawdust exploded suddenly when it encountered sparks.

Thanks to Lin Shizi and Miss Yang's family who cleaned up the crowd around the fire scene and rescued a child in the fire scene, otherwise the second explosion would have disastrous consequences!
And the other courtiers were shocked, not just by the explosion, but by another incident after the explosion.

A wall connected to the backyard of the lumber shop was blown away, exposing the granary separated by a wall.

And Jing Zhaoyin discovered during the investigation that the grain in the granary was actually straw!
On point.

Therefore, several warehouses in the granary were attracted one after another.

People depend on food, and the granaries in the capital are actually empty!

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were furious, and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to investigate further.

Jing Zhaoyin proposed to reward Lin Xiao and Yang Mu, and no one objected to it.

Therefore, on that day, various imperial edicts of rewards and commendations entered Prince Ding's Mansion and Duke Protector's Mansion.

The incident of yesterday's explosion was too great, and it spread throughout the entire capital in a short period of time.

While the common people lamented the misfortune of the dead and injured, they all admired Lin Xiao and Yang Mu.

Therefore, from this day on, ordinary people who had nowhere to place their gratitude poured into Lin Xiao's No Night Building and Yang Mu's shop, consuming wildly.

Some people even sent their eggs, vegetables, melons, fruits, and poultry to Duke Huguo's mansion, and only asked Yang Mu to accept them.It's a pity that the servants of the Yang family firmly refused to accept him, saying that the eldest lady said it, and this is what she should do.

The enthusiasm of the common people has no place to rest, so if you don't accept it, I won't leave.

All of a sudden, Duke Huguo's Mansion was full of people.

When Yang Chengen came back from the military camp, he thought that the common people had come to riot. The porter explained for a long time before he realized that his granddaughter had given Yang's parents a disgrace.

The old man was cheerful, and his walking became a figure-of-eight gait.

Yang Zhen was also taken aback when he came back, and he and his son Yang Kai went in through the back door, only to find out what happened, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

Prince Ding's Mansion is an inner city, and ordinary people can't get in, so it's safe to live, but the gates of Duke Huguo's Mansion are blocked.

In the end, there was no other way, Yang Mu passed on the word and only accepted part of it.

For example, a handful of vegetables, only one tree; a basket of eggs, only one; a big goose, only goose feathers...

There was a long queue at the Duke Protector's Mansion, all of whom were giving gifts.

There were all kinds of weird gifts from the common people. Yang Mu was dumbfounded looking at the pile of gifts.

This is still only a little bit, if you take all of them, why are you afraid of famine?
Yang Mu asked Daishan, "If you were asked to spread it, did you let it out?"

Daishan smiled and said: "It was released, and it is said that there may be locusts crossing the border this year, and every household can rush to harvest the crops as soon as possible!"

Yang Mu heaved a sigh of relief, thanks to her spreading the word out early, otherwise she would really be ashamed of the enthusiasm of these people.

The cherry newspaper over there said that Yang Chengen was looking for her, so Yang Mu went to Jingfuyuan.

In Jingfu Courtyard, the old couple Yang Chengen took the seat, accompanied by Yang Zhen and Tang Shi.

Yang Chengen praised Yang Mu vigorously, and then said: "I heard that you just opened a few shops, how about the genius doctor?"

Chen looked at her husband in surprise, Yang Cheng'en was a martial artist all his life and never asked about these things.

Yang Mu talked about the situation of the shop, and then said: "In the current situation, every shop has to queue up to call their number."

Yang Chengen was very satisfied, and waved to Yang Mu. After his granddaughter came over, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms, and said, "Buy some jewelry!"

Yang Mu's eyes widened, this is a 100 tael bank note!so thick!Not a few thousand taels?
Yang Zhen also said: "Your grandfather praised you, and I can't let you down."

He smiled and took out half of the bank notes that Yang Chengen had, and stuffed them into Yang Mu's hands.

Yang Mu blinked his eyes, this... is more profitable than opening a shop!

When Yang Fei knew that Yang Mu had won tens of thousands of taels of silver for his efforts on the fire, the handkerchief was almost torn.

God knows how short of money she is now!
In the past, not only did she have 50 taels a month, but she was also subsidized by Tang's dowry shop, so she was never short of money.

Now Tang not only took back the shop to Yang Mu, but also gave her only 20 taels of monthly allowance on the pretext that she had taken too much monthly allowance.

She still has to stockpile food, and she is simply stretched!

If I had known, I wouldn't have dragged Li Che last night!
She also goes to the scene to direct and command, and she can get tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Too bad!
Lu Yao looked at the second lady pulling the handkerchief, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and then changed into a respectful expression, saying: "Second lady, we have already stockpiled hundreds of shi of grain, I can even open a grain store. "

Yang Fei came back to her senses and said, "Not enough!"

She bowed her head to weigh for a moment, and said, "I'll write a letter, and you send it to Shizi."

Lu Yao complied obediently.

It's just that the person who saw this letter first was not Li Che, but Yang Mu.

In Wanxiangfang, Yang Mu looked at the contents of the letter, copied it first, and then asked the dexterous Daishan to seal it again.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Dai Shan was puzzled and said: "Why does Second Miss borrow money from Prince Su's son? She also said that within half a month, she will surely surprise him! What surprise?"

Yang Mu's heart skipped a beat, it seems that within half a month, the famine will come.

She said to Daishan: "Continue to spread the news that the locusts will come in less than half a month. Every family saves food and stockpiles some."

Dai Shan said: "If this word is released, I'm afraid the price of food will increase immediately!"

Yang Mu asked, "How much food have we stockpiled?"

Dai Shan smiled and said, "We have stockpiled four large yards of food, and with the addition of Lin Shizi's, I'm afraid it's enough for the entire capital to eat for a few days."

Yang Mu frowned and said, "That is to say, if you sell cheap grain, you can only sell it for a few days?"

Dai Shan hurriedly said: "Every household is hoarding grain these days, at least for ten days, right? In addition, there are already eight granaries in the capital, which are enough for the people of the capital to feed for several months. Those who want to rely on the disaster It is not so easy for a grain merchant who makes black-hearted money every year to make a fortune."

Yang Mu tapped his fingers on the table, and murmured: "The explosion caused problems in the Suzaku warehouse in the capital. I'm afraid that other granaries may not be safe. Lin Xiao has been investigating for so long, but he still hasn't found any clues."

If it wasn't for the problem with the granary in the capital, why would Yang Fei stockpile food?
After thinking for a while, Yang Mu sighed, and said: "Hurry up and spread the word, and there is also the matter of rush harvesting, so let's spread the word, try to harvest all the crops that can be snapped up, and don't lose too much."

If there is a real famine, even a blade of grass is food.

Daishan left in a hurry, leaving Yang Mu in a daze in the small room.

Li Che finally believed in Yang Fei and sent 1 taels of silver notes. Yang Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Lu Yao to stockpile food.

When Lu Yao went to buy grain, she realized that the price of grain had risen, and she could only buy four thousand shi of grain, but now she could only buy three thousand shi.

And not in stock yet, need to pre-order.

When the food will arrive, I don't know at all.

Lu Yao had no choice but to go back and ask Yang Fei with the bank notes, and Yang Fei had no choice but to ask Lu Yao to exchange the bank notes for small-amount bank notes and buy cash.

But I didn't buy much in stock, only a little more than a thousand stones.

Lu Yao had no choice but to go outside the city to buy. Fortunately, there were many people in the Zhuangzi outside the city who were stealing and selling their master's grain, and at least they had collected enough three thousand shi.
