Chapter 1534 Goodbye old friend (2)

Even Du Xiaozhu didn't bother with these things, he just said, "Forget it, you have no choice but to think about it."

If it weren't for helplessness, who would be able to watch the family being wiped out without doing anything.

Seeing that Du Xiaozhu didn't pursue this matter, Mr. Shang was really relieved.

The night was getting dark, and it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, so he took out the things he brought from his arms.

Seeing this, Lu Wu stepped forward to pick it up and sent it to Du Xiaozhu.

Du Xiaozhu didn't pick it up either, but motioned her to put it aside, and fixed his eyes on Mr. Shang, wanting to hear what he had to say.

But things were similar to what she had guessed. In Du Fengtian's ink corruption case, he was the one who turned over the grain for him and exchanged old grain for new grain.

There was just one thing that Du Xiaozhu didn't expect, there was no transaction of one tael of silver, it was all grain for grain, all old grain was within three years, and there was no half grain of moldy rice.

And it was traded at a price tag of one catty of new grain for three catties of old grain.

Mr. Shang bought old grain from all over the country, and then transported it to the disaster area, and then exchanged it for the new grain ordered by the court to open warehouses for disaster relief and shipped it to other areas for sale.

After listening to his narration, Du Xiaozhu couldn't help asking, "Young Master Shang is a smart person, and I'm afraid he knows very well what the consequences will be if he gets involved in this matter. What's more, although Chen Mi will be in the new three years The price of grain depreciates when it goes on the market, but there is no three-fold price difference, which can be described as a thankless task, why do you still do it?"

Du Xiaozhu believed from the beginning to the end that no matter what this person does, he will have his ultimate purpose, whether it is fame or profit, but once this matter is exposed, he will only be infamous, and there is no such thing as profit. She really wants to I don't know why Mr. Shang cooperated with Du Fengtian to do this.

"When the first emperor was in power, he fought for years, and the national treasury was already empty. After ascending the throne, he experienced the chaos of the three kings. Later, for the people to recuperate, the empress dowager issued an edict on behalf of the emperor to reduce and exempt taxes. The flood in the south was not achieved in a day. There were no major disasters, but minor troubles continued. In fact, there was not much surplus grain in the treasury granary, which was not enough to accommodate the people in one side. I thought that Du Xiang came up with this method to replace the new grain of the year with old grain, so as to save some people. .”

Du Xiaozhu had already thought of what Mr. Shang said, but what she was curious about was not why Du Fengtian would do this. It could be said that as an imperial envoy, his duty was, but why Mr. Shang did this?

Du Xiaozhu's probing eyes made Mr. Shang frequently smile bitterly.

I have known for a long time that she is extremely intelligent, and it is really crazy to want to hide it from her.

"Du Xiang held the secret decree and found it, and I have no choice but to do it."

Ah……

Du Xiaozhu gasped, she knew it would be like this.

Otherwise, because of the eldest princess's attitude towards the Du mansion these years, how could Du Xiang easily persuade the people in the eldest princess' mansion to help him do these things.

Only then did Du Xiaozhu look like what Mr. Shang had handed in just now.

It is nothing more than a ledger and a petition of the people.

Du Xiaozhu took a look at Wanmin's book, and asked Lvwu to put it away, but picked up the account book and flipped through it.

This transaction was clearly written, and the old grain exchanged was clearly remembered where it was used, and the account books were all correct.

Although these two things are not enough to cover Du Xiang's fault, they can protect his life.

As for the crucial secret decree, Du Xiaozhu just smiled, if this matter can be understood, there is no need for the secret decree.
