Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 802
The minister was choked, but he was speechless to refute.

If merchants do not release grain, and there is no grain in the granary for relief, then the world will really be in chaos.

Chu Xun said to Emperor Chu: "Although opening a storehouse for food relief can solve the urgent need, it is still a drop in the bucket. The only solution now is to thoroughly investigate this matter, find out who is behind the scenes, and use it as a warning to others, so that the price of rice can be stabilized."

The Emperor Chu was about to play the quasi-play when Rong Jiu and Shen Cheng entered the palace.

When a minister saw her, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily, always feeling that disaster was imminent.

With a faint glance of Rong Jiu's eyes, Yuan Gang could feel a chill spreading from the bottom of his heart to his limbs.

When Emperor Chu saw her, he was in a good mood immediately, and his daughter was coming to give him a surprise.

Eunuch Zhao hurriedly asked someone to move the carved seat, and the ministers saw her sitting down calmly, and felt uneasy, so they heard her say to Emperor Chu: "Father, the matter of hoarding grain has been investigated clearly. .”

Yuan Gang and Ruan Jing's expressions changed drastically, they didn't even see her attack, so why did they find out everything?
The other ministers who were hoarding food were already pale in panic.

Only Chu Xun said in surprise, "Xiao Jiu, are you serious?"

Rong Jiu nodded and handed the account book to Eunuch Zhao.

The ministers stared at the account book in Eunuch Zhao's hand, and they were all suffocated.

Everyone stared at the account book in Eunuch Zhao's hand and listened with bated breath. When Eunuch Zhao opened the account book, his face changed drastically and he became furious.

In this thick stack of account books, half of the courtiers are hoarding rice and grain, from a few granaries, to dozens of granaries, and finally nearly a hundred granaries.

Every time Eunuch Zhao read a sentence, Emperor Chu's face became darker, and the minister's face turned paler.

Those who were timid already knelt down on their knees, shaking like dead leaves in the wind.

Eunuch Zhao read one after another, and finally, it was Ruan Jing and Yuan Gang.

In the Taiji Hall, there was a dead silence, the ground was covered with darkness, half of the ministers were kneeling, and the court clothes on their bodies had already been soaked in cold sweat.

The Emperor of Chu was trembling with anger: "As important ministers of the court, you don't share my worries at the top, and don't benefit the people at the bottom. You resell rice and make huge profits. You should be killed, Yuan Gang,"

The Emperor Chu threw a teacup in front of him. Yuan Gang knelt down on the ground and dared not move, his voice trembling out of tune: "Your Majesty, please calm down, minister, minister,"

"Shut up for me! As a servant of the household department, you actually hoard nearly a hundred granaries. You deserve to die. I'm going to copy your whole family and kill your nine clans!"

"Your Majesty," Yuan Gang wept, shaking violently all the time. At the critical moment of life and death, a bright light flashed in his mind, and he blurted out, "Qinzhou is suffering from a severe drought, and the victims are starved of food. The minister is very worried, so I will help you." Unite with some wealthy businessmen to buy a large amount of rice for disaster relief."

And those ministers who were so frightened that they almost suffocated, when they heard what he said, there were bright lights on their ashen faces, and they said one after another: "This drought has caused countless casualties among the people. Although the ministers are weak, they can help the people. It is my duty to do my best, and the rice grains are all for disaster relief."

Hoarding rice and grain, making huge profits, and almost forcing the people to rebel, it can be said so righteously.

However, with these rice grains, the people's hearts have been stabilized, and there will be no more troubles, and those who hoard rice grains and want to make huge profits are afraid that they will lose their money.

Rong Jiu sneered coldly: "You ministers worry about the country and the people. It is really a blessing for the people. If the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can share the worries of the father and the emperor like you, why not worry about the long-term peace and stability in this world."

The ministers knelt and did not dare to move, cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, soaking the ground.

The hall was solemn and stagnant, and the ministers didn't even dare to breathe out, they all speculated how the Chu Emperor would deal with it.
