The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 82 Sorrow
It snowed in the capital for three consecutive days.

During these three days, Liu Wei always left early and returned home very late. Princess Ruyi was very puzzled by Liu Wei's behavior, and tried to figure it out, but it was not convenient for her to ask, and finally I had to ask Lvyi to pay more attention.

When the cold snow stopped at the beginning, Lvyi more or less found out some news.

"According to the people in the winery, after the son-in-law went to the winery, he locked himself in a room and did not allow anyone to come near him. Sometimes he ordered someone to invite other people in, but what they did inside was I don't know."

Speaking of this, Lvyi's expression became slightly condensed, and he said: "Princess, the son-in-law, he can't be..." Lvyi's face turned purple, as if he couldn't say what he said later.

Princess Ruyi is not a stupid person, so she naturally understands what Lvyi wants to say. It is rumored that there are many wealthy lords in the capital who like male pets, and their doting is almost as much as doting on concubines. Will Liu Wei know? Also have this problem?
At first, Princess Ruyi was a little worried. After all, the two have been married for so long and haven't consummated the house. It is normal for Liu Wei to have needs in that regard. He may not dare to go to dusty places, so is it possible to find a male favorite? Woolen cloth?
Princess Ruyi's heart sank, but after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. Then Liu Wei often flirted in front of her. How could he like men?Presumably he had a purpose in locking himself in the winery room.

And when thinking this way, Princess Ruyi suddenly felt blessed, thinking of Liu Wei saying that she would give King Jin a birthday gift a few days ago, thinking about it this way, and finally realized that Liu Wei was going to prepare a gift for King Jin.

Just prepare presents, prepare presents, why make it so mysterious?

At this time, the green clothes were still nervous, Princess Ruyi saw her like this, and smiled slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, you should find a way to find out clearly, and see what the son-in-law is doing."

Green clothes nodded again and again.

The weather in the capital was colder, and Liu Wei was very busy at the winery, because he was preparing a gift for King Jin, and it was a very special gift.

And when Liu Wei was so busy, Zhang Qixian came over in a hurry and said, "My son-in-law, it's not good, something serious has happened."

Zhang Qixian is not a very calm person, but he has great ambitions, and things that can make him think big things must not be simple, so Liu Wei had to put down what he was doing and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My son-in-law, it has been snowing for three consecutive days in the capital. Many people's houses have been crushed by the snow. Many...are frozen and can hardly move, and some are very poor, all...are frozen. died."

The road is frozen to death.

Liu Wei's heart sank slightly, and he said, "Does everyone in the imperial court know about it?"

Zhang Qixian nodded: "When I came back from outside, I saw the officials of Kaifeng Mansion checking the disaster situation from door to door, so I guess I knew it."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Wei felt a little relaxed. King Jin is willing to do things for the people, and the current emperor is not confused. Now that the people in Kaifeng Mansion know about it, they will definitely find a way to help the people affected by the disaster.

And it wouldn't be difficult to think about it. Although it has been snowing for the past few days, there are only a few people who really can't resist the cold snow. After thinking about it this way, Liu Wei continued to work again.

But just when Liu Wei thought that the matter would be resolved quickly, something very unoptimistic happened in the capital. Some poor people attacked the rich and noble grain farms in the capital because they didn't have enough food and clothing.

Fugui Grain Farm is one of the best grain farms in the capital. The grain stored in it is enough for the people of the capital to eat for half a month. The attack on Fugui Grain Farm is likely to cause fluctuations in the price of grain in the capital. As a result, the business of Lianliuwei Winery are all implicated.

And when Liu Wei heard the news, the first thing he thought of was not the fluctuation of food prices in the capital, nor was it that the food they needed for winemaking in the Liu family winery would be more expensive than usual. When this kind of thing happened, didn't the people in Kaifeng Mansion do anything for the people affected by the disaster? Did they just put on a show?

Kaifeng House.

King Jin's brows were furrowed tightly, with a little warmth and anger.

"Damn it, those people are really disgusting. The king has ordered people to send them clothes and food for shelter from the cold. How can they commit robbery!" Having said this, King Jin slapped the teacup on the table. Pushed down: "The most abhorrent thing is that because of the behavior of those dozens of victims, other people on the street have also poured into the Fugui Grain Farm to grab food. It was only a small matter, but now it is out of control."

After King Jin finished speaking, he glanced at Su Tong, who was sitting across from him. Su Tong looked at him in deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "My lord, I'm afraid this matter was done by someone with a heart."

"Who cares?" Jin Wang was slightly taken aback, but soon realized that the Kaifeng government's rescue of the victims in the capital was considered timely. Suddenly, refugees robbed Fugui Liangzhuang. matter?

Su Tongkan sighed softly, and said: "In the capital city, Cheng Fugui, the owner of Fugui Liangzhuang, has provided a lot of financial support to the court. If he hadn't had a son, the Holy Majesty would have had to find another princess to marry into Cheng's family. If he wanted to come to Fugui Liangzhuang Being robbed, someone deliberately targeted our court."

At this moment, King Jin already understood, but what he couldn't figure out was, who would oppose the imperial court?

"Mr. Su, in your opinion, is it possible to investigate the person behind the scenes?"

Su another look hesitated for a while, and said: "This kind of gathering of people is never very easy to investigate, but the subordinates must experience it."

Jin Wang nodded: "Okay, Mr. Su will handle this matter. As for the loss of Fugui Liangzhuang, send someone to count it, and then let those who participated in the robbery compensate. It's so lawless, if you don't punish them, they don't know what morality is."

Su Tiaokan nodded in response: "Please rest assured, my lord."

While the two were discussing, Liu Wei had already walked in from the outside.

"My lord, Mr. Su, I heard that Fugui Liangzhuang was robbed?"

Su Another looked and nodded: "Master Liu has heard the news?"

Liu Wei nodded: "Exactly, I wonder if the prince and Mr. Su have any countermeasures?"

"My lord has assigned this matter to my subordinates, but I have no good countermeasures for a while. I wonder if Master Liu has a way to find out the truth of the matter?"

Liu Wei listened to Su Tongkan's statement to find out the truth of the matter, so he knew that he had deduced that the robbery of Fugui Liangzhuang was deliberately done by someone, so he expressed his opinion directly.

"My lord, Mr. Su, Fugui Liangzhuang has a lot of grain reserves, and because of the grain in Fugui Liangzhuang, the price of grain in the capital can remain stable. Some people deliberately ordered the victims to rob Fugui Liangzhuang, I am afraid that they want to cause chaos through this act The stable order of the capital has caused panic among the people in the entire capital."

Speaking of this, Liu Wei paused for a while, while King Jin and Su were a little surprised when they saw the two, thinking why didn't they think of this?After this incident happened, the first thing they thought of was that someone did it deliberately. The purpose of doing this was to target the court, but they didn't think carefully. What was aimed at the court?

Disturbing the food price in the capital and causing panic among the people is aimed at the imperial court.

Liu Wei just went deeper than they thought.

This era does not pay attention to macro-control, so private businesses are all free markets. If something happens, it can only be adjusted through the self-regulation ability of the market, but this ability is easy to be controlled by others.

King Jin and Su Tongjian couldn't think of this, but Liu Wei did.

"From the point of view, after the Fugui grain shop was robbed, there would definitely be a rumor spread in the capital, saying that the grain in the capital suddenly ran out, and when the rumor spread, the people would flock to the grain shop, and at that time The price of food will suddenly be ridiculously high, and the value of copper coins will depreciate for a while, and the entire market will become chaotic."

After Liu Wei said these words, Jin Wang and Su Tong saw that the two of them were already showing nervous expressions, and after showing nervous expressions, they admired Liu Wei's ability to see and analyze things even more.

"Then according to Master Yiliu, how should we solve this matter?"

Liu Wei smiled: "The enemy just wants to see the people in the capital panic and chaos in the capital, so as long as we stabilize the situation in the capital, we will smash the enemy's plot. As for how to find out who is behind the scenes, it is not difficult. Before the rumors spread, send spies in various disguises in the capital, and whoever dares to spread rumors will be arrested, so that the perpetrator will be found."

King Jin nodded slightly: "Although it is a bit troublesome, it is indeed feasible, but how to stabilize the situation, if the rumor spreads, it will not be easy for the people to believe that it is a rumor. Mr. Liu is also a businessman, so he should know People are sometimes very foolish."

King Jin was talking, suddenly remembered something, so he said with a smile: "This king is going to order people to bring back all the robbed food. If you have the food, the rumors will be self-defeating. After all, even if there is Rumors also say that the capital is short of food."

As soon as King Jin finished speaking, Liu Wei and Su Tongkan hurriedly stopped them.

Su Another glanced at Liu Wei, then cupped his hands to the King of Jin and said, "My lord, now that we know the enemy's intentions, I don't think this food is necessary for the time being."

King Jin frowned slightly, and said, "Why not?"

"After the rumors started, the people in the capital must have hesitated, whether there is any food in the capital, but when we asked those people to return the food they robbed, those people who were still hesitant would probably not hesitate anymore. They would think that Rumors are facts, and maybe the enemy is expecting that we may ask for food back, so they use it to confirm the rumors and disrupt the stability of our Song Dynasty."

After Su Another Kan finished speaking, Liu Wei nodded slightly at the side. He also thought so. After hearing what Su Another Kan said, King Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. How to convince the people that there is food in the capital?"
