Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 425 Opening a Position ([-])

At this moment, Miao Fu Yin wished to cut off his lustful heart, thinking of the news about this woman from Huadu, if he really touched her hand just now, he might be the boss.

Miao Fuyin tried his best to calm down, treated the nymphomaniac and disrespectful person just now as someone else, kowtowed again, and then got up with a waste of effort.

Mu Ai lowered her eyes, covered the trace of disgust in her eyes, and then said lightly, "This king came all the way south, passed by Rongcheng today, and wanted to visit, but I was so tired that Mr. Miao and everyone delayed their official business."

Miao Zhuang said hastily, "Your Highness is serious. I just happen to have nothing to do these few days. Why should I delay my official duties? It is really a blessing for Rongcheng that Your Highness can visit our Rongcheng."

Mu Ai raised her eyebrows, "Oh, next time the king sees His Majesty and the Queen Mother again, he should say a few words of kindness to Lord Miao. Miao Daran is well-governed, and there is nothing wrong with the big city of Rong. I admire it."

How could Miao Zhuang feel awkward hearing this, and he couldn't figure out Mu Ai's intention, so he could only laugh dryly, "Your Highness, it's hot today, why don't you drive to Xiaguan's mansion together with King Xiaoyao to rest for a while, okay? "

Mu Ai glanced at the crowd on the right front as if inadvertently, then nodded and said yes, when he got up and was about to re-board the car, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out from the side of the road, with blue-gray bunt clothes and a dark face, it was obvious that he was a man. Farmers who have worked and been exposed to the sun all year round.

He rushed to the side of the carriage in a few steps, knelt down on his head, and cried loudly, "Your Highness, make the decision for the villain. Your Highness begs you to save the lives of the villain's family."

Miao Zhuang's face darkened in an instant, he glared fiercely at the cronies beside him, and reprimanded in a low voice, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you let someone pull him away."

The confidant hurriedly called two soldiers, walked to Mu Ai's side, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Xian is shocked, this man is a famous lunatic in our city, seeing this lively scene today, he came here to make trouble again, Xiaguan Just take him away."

As he was talking, he was about to pull the middle-aged man away. Mu Ai ordered Mu Shiqi and the others to arrange for this man. How could he spoil the plan with a few words, so he shouted, "Wait a minute !"

The two soldiers had already firmly grasped the man's arm. Hearing Mu Ai's order, they hesitated for a moment, but they still dragged the man away under the signal of the trusted officer.

Kong Xi was furious, took off the long knife without taking it out of its sheath, and knocked two soldiers unconscious with the back of the knife while raising his hand a few steps forward. Dare to disobey orders, are you tired of work?"

Anxiety flashed across the eyes of Miao Zhuang and the others, but they still stepped forward to salute and apologize, "Your Highness, calm down, these two soldiers are reckless, and I will definitely punish them severely."

Mu Ai smiled lightly, ignored them, only looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "This king is born with a soft heart, even the empress dowager once said that this king is a bit too kind, but his nature is hard to change. Let’s just form a good relationship, I heard you calling for help today, so I have to ask, how do you want me to save your life?”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, bowed his head and kowtowed three times on the ground, and said loudly, "Your Highness, the villain is a villager in Luliuzhuang, ten miles northwest of the city. There is an old mother and a ten-year-old child at home. Seven days ago, The villain went to the city to help out, hoping to earn some copper coins to go back and send his children to private schools to learn to read.

However, when it rained suddenly, the villain missed his mother and wanted to go back to take care of him, but the boss was busy in the shop, so he stayed for two more days. When the villain got his wages and wanted to go out of the city to go home, the gate of the city was suddenly closed. Ren Xiaoren begged in every possible way, but these soldiers refused to open. The villain cursed a few words in a hurry, and they beat the villain violently. They also said that there was a flood outside the city, and the villain's mother and children must have been washed away by the flood. No need to look for it, the villain was not convinced, so he said he wanted to sue the government, but they actually said that the gate of the city was closed by the governor because he was afraid that the victims would come in and beg, and no one could get out without the order of the governor. go.

The villain finally saw the gate of the city opened today, and wanted to ask His Highness to make the decision for the villain, let the villain go out of the city and go home. "

As the man said that, he shed tears. The majestic seven-foot man cried like a child, causing everyone around him to sigh. Some relatives and friends were outside the city, thinking that the heavy rain had stopped for a few days, and they planned to go out to see Look, or those who want to take advantage of this disaster to go out and buy and sell people to earn money, they kept booing, "Yes, yes, now that the flood has receded and the victims are gone, it's time for the governor to open the city gate." .”

When Miao Zhuang and the others heard this, their faces turned red and white, and they secretly gritted their teeth in anger.

Mu Ai nodded slightly, looked at Miao Zhuang and the others, and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Miao, this king arrived at the boundary of our city of Rong yesterday, just in time to meet those homeless victims. I bought some rice for relief, but in the end it attracted countless victims, more than [-] people today. The king heard what the victims said, Rongcheng and Yacheng and Liecheng in the south were all affected by the flood, and the people's homes It was destroyed a lot, probably more harmful than the flood in five years. After all, the king's ability is limited, and he can only support it for a few days with all the rice. Therefore, today I will go to the city to see Rongcheng The second is to ask Mr. Miao to open a warehouse to release grain and help the victims." At this point, she paused, looked at the crowd around, and said, "I heard that the price of rice in the city has also skyrocketed, which is higher than usual. It is more than three times higher, Master Miao will open a warehouse to release relief, those rice merchants will see that they have nothing to do, so they will not hoard, the price of rice will naturally come down, and the people in the city will surely be able to resume their previous lives."

After hearing this, the people around couldn't help cheering. The rich and well-to-do families in the city all had rice grains, enough for their own consumption for more than half a year. Only small traders like them or those without property needed to go to the rice shop. Buying rice, that is, the group that suffered the most, when they heard that the price of rice was going to drop, they all shouted, "His Royal Highness is wise, His Royal Highness is the master of our people!"

Miao Fu Yin's small eyes, which were almost narrowed into a line, glanced at the crowd fiercely, wishing to chop everyone up, his thoughts turned, it turned out that this fairy lady was really rushing to open a warehouse to release food. But it's really tricky. According to Mr. Wei, only half of the disaster relief money will be distributed, but excluding the part of the subordinates, there is still a distribution to Liecheng Yacheng, and only 3 taels are left in his hands. If it is less, it is not as good as the filial piety of the merchants in a year. Maybe the rice grain in the official warehouse is another bonus for him. If he opens the warehouse and releases it at this time, he will lose his money. The money was about to fly out of his arms, and his heart trembled with distress.

So he smiled all over his face and said, "His Royal Highness is right, but His Royal Highness doesn't know about it. The victims of the disaster also gathered outside the city gate a few days ago, and I asked people to go out to visit them. It is really abominable for the villagers in the mountains to use the name of the flood to deceive the court for relief. The officials thought that they were all the people of Hundred Flowers, and they did not blame them, so they ordered the soldiers to keep them out to prevent them from entering the city Making trouble. I didn't expect them to meet His Royal Highness, and it is a heinous crime to take advantage of His Highness's benevolence."

When Mu Ai saw him talking nonsense with his eyes open and pretending to be wise, he was extremely disgusted in his heart, his face turned cold, and he said, "Could it be that Mr. Miao thinks that this king is blind? Are those disaster victims real or fake? It's still clear."

That Lord Miao chuckled dryly, and said quickly, "Your Highness misunderstood, I didn't mean it, but I was afraid that His Highness would be deceived by others, and besides, His Highness didn't know something, and the news about Southern Ya City and Lie City hadn't been delivered yet. When I came to Xiaguan, I didn't dare to release relief. Your Majesty once said that in times of disaster, the cities should support each other and tide over difficulties together. I am afraid that Xiaguan will release all the rice and food. When the two cities need help , isn’t it powerless to support.”

After he finished speaking, everyone, including Mu Ai and his party, looked at him in amazement, how stupid this must be to come up with such an excuse, just because the neighbors might come Borrowing food, so I don't care about my own family who is about to starve to death.What kind of shit reason is this!
Just as Mu Ai was about to speak, Simba rode over on Dabai not far away, his small face was full of anger and impatience, he pointed to the tip of Fatty Miao's nose, and asked loudly, "This Your Highness doesn't have that much time to talk nonsense with an idiot like you, will you let the food go or not?"

That Fatty Miao was like an emperor in Rongcheng. He had been domineering for many years. When was he pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded him? With a smiling face, he said, "His Royal Highness Xiaoyao calm down, it's not that the lower official doesn't want to open the warehouse, but the imperial court hasn't issued an order to open the warehouse privately and use the grain reserves. According to the Law of Hundred Flowers, the lower official will be beheaded."

Simba turned his head to look at his mother with a bad face. He thought of the ragged victims in the camp, the babies waiting to be fed, and then looked at the fat officials in front of him. After a long silence, he took out a piece of red gold waist from his arms. The card came and said loudly, "Master Miao, what do you think this is?"

Hearing the sound, Miao Zhuang and several officials behind him raised their heads and immediately collapsed to the ground. There were only four words on the red gold plate, "Like me in person"!This is a token representing the visit of the Hundred Flowers Emperor. As long as it is issued, those below the third rank have the right to be killed on the spot, and those above the third rank have the right to investigate crimes, arrest them and send them to prison.

It is said that only the imperial envoys who are highly trusted by His Majesty will reward the body protection with this brand, but after a few months, the errand is completed, and they will be taken back. Unexpectedly, I saw it in the hands of the Fifth Highness today, which shows that His Majesty loves it. How to pamper.
