The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 586: Counting on You (2)
Mei Ruhui is all about revenge, and doesn't care about anything other than revenge.Even if Song Zijing put the knife on his neck, he would not blink.Although Song Zijing hated Mei Ruhui, he had to admit that Mei Ruhui was a man.It's just that this person is too treacherous to be a friend, and he has to be on guard all the time.

Unable to let Mei Ruhui die under the sword of the palace, King Ning Zhou Gan sighed loudly.He also specially wrote a letter to the eldest son Zhou Qi, mocking the eldest son Zhou Qi's incompetence.The eldest son Zhou Qi couldn't refute, so he could only swallow this breath secretly, and waited for future reports.

The Song family fled, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song died, everyone in Zhongzhou City was in danger, and the people of the aristocratic family were in panic.Coupled with the soaring prices, gold, silver and copper coins began to flow out in large quantities before everyone noticed, and everyone's life became more and more sad.What is even more sad is that in the past two years, God has not opened his eyes. It was either flood or drought, and the grain harvest was in short supply.Originally, the grain produced in Zhongzhou was not enough for the local people to eat. In addition to the army fighting, the imperial court blocked the trade routes. How could life be easier with the support of the previous grain reserves.Although everyone expressed their loyalty to Wangfu and said that they would definitely go to the capital with Wangfu, but that was just a verbal expression, and only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.It's just that this kind of life without progress makes everyone feel a deep sense of crisis.Worried about what to do if one day the stored food runs out, and worried about what to do if one day the palace comes to collect food and take away everyone's rations.

Whether to continue to live like this, or to escape from Zhongzhou at the risk of being punished by the royal family, just like the Song family.It's just that everyone has a big family and a big business, so how to escape.After escaping, will life really be better than now?Although Zhongzhou and the imperial court blocked the trade routes, news from outside still came in intermittently.People are paying attention to the Xiao family and the Song family.

The two elders of the Xiao family are gone, the eldest grandson was also abducted by a woman, Xiao Maoyang also died, and the Xiao family was separated. Every day is getting worse.The Song family was no better than the Xiao family. Although they escaped from Zhongzhou, although Song Zijing was there to support them, they were not as good as before, and their vitality was seriously injured.I don't know how many years it will take to restore the glory of the past.

Both the Xiao family and the Song family are living examples. Both families paid a terrible price just to escape from Zhongzhou alive.But when they really escaped, that day might not be what they wanted.The escape of the Xiao family and the Song family was partly active and partly passive.It's full of variables.This is also what made the Zhongzhou family hesitate.

Not everyone has the determination of a strong man to cut his wrists, and not every family can be united in a crisis, twisted into a rope, and exert their energy in one place.Therefore, the situation in Zhongzhou seems to be imminent, but it is not yet on the verge of eruption.As long as the palace can survive, until the imperial court loses patience, Qin Palace will win.At that time, the Qin Palace can negotiate with the imperial court on the condition of an armistice, without worrying that the imperial court will not compromise.Until then, the condition is not just to open Prince Qin's mansion casually.

That is to say, from the very beginning, Qin Wangfu never thought of replacing the emperor, because they knew themselves.What they want is to maintain the status quo. The court is not allowed to cut troops, and absolutely cannot break the foundation of the Qin Palace.However, in order to achieve this goal, the Qin Palace has a long way to go.Emperor Jingfu was not an emperor who would be manipulated casually. Since he had made up his mind to clean up the Qin Palace and show it to the world, he would definitely get a satisfactory result.Before that, any means are delusional.

King Ning and Zhou Ganfan looked at the news from Zhongzhou, and did not anticipate the actions of Cai Wu, the prince's disciple. This was his negligence.It's really frustrating for the prince to take the lead in such a good situation.Given the current situation in Zhongzhou, it seems that Zhongzhou City still needs to be fueled up.

So a few days later, Jinzhou posted a notice, and this notice spread throughout the border of Zhongzhou at the fastest speed.The core content of the notice is that the people who fled Zhongzhou with their families will be resettled by the imperial court, and the household registration will be provided with food, and the food will be sold to the people at a fair price.

Buying food at a reasonable price is almost an irresistible temptation in Zhongzhou, where food prices have risen ten to twenty times.Think about it, originally in Zhongzhou, only one catty of grain was given to buy, but as soon as you arrive in Jinzhou, you can buy ten catties or twenty catties, and the court also pays for resettlement and planting grain. How many people can afford such a temptation? reject.

The Prince Qin's Mansion is doing everything they can to prevent the infiltration of rumors and prevent the court's conspiracy from succeeding.But I couldn't stand the temptation too much, and the content of this notice was quickly spread to all parts of Zhongzhou.No matter how tight the palace's defenses are, it can't stop the people's determination to escape from Zhongzhou.They were in groups of three or five, or took mountain roads, or water roads, and used guerrilla warfare to deal with the army of the palace, just hoping to get out of the mountains of Zhongzhou.

The palace has strengthened management and implemented a system of consecutive sittings.As long as one family in a village escapes, the whole village will be punished.Who would have thought that once this regulation came out, the effect would be counterproductive.A family in one village fled, and other families saw that they would be arrested if they didn't escape, so they simply rolled up their beds and fled with them.As a result, whole villages and whole villages fled.These people are familiar with the mountain roads, and they crossed the mountains and ridges to avoid being captured by the army of the palace.They were strong-willed, and even though countless people died on the way, they could not stop them from fleeing.

Originally, because of Mei Ruhui's betrayal, Prince Qin's mansion was in dire straits, and the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic.As a result, Zhou Qian came out like this again, and immediately there were internal problems.Internal instability, how to fight this battle.It should be made clear that most of the soldiers in the army of Prince Qin's Palace were recruited from the local area.Soldiers have families and mouths.They are fighting outside and their families are fleeing. Does it make sense?If this situation is not controlled, the army will definitely mutiny.

So Qin Wangfu also took immediate measures, which was to reduce the price of food.The Fan family was the first to bear the brunt. Who made the Fan family the largest grain merchant in Zhongzhou. When everyone couldn't get food, the Fan family could still get some food. This kind of ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Qin Wangfu forced the Fan family to reduce food prices.

Of course you can't say that directly.The prince invited the head of the Fan family to the palace, put on a banquet, and began to complain.It's hard, it's a sad day.There is a war outside, and people eat horse chews every day, which is an astronomical figure.Internally, due to natural disasters and the imperial government blocking commercial routes, food cannot come in, so that the common people have no way to survive.If the price of food does not drop, the common people will turn against it.The prince's mansion is not having a good life, so will your Fan family be able to have a good life?Don't forget, Wangfu and Fan's family are grasshoppers on the same rope.Now everyone in the palace is saving food and clothing, and even I, a majestic prince, wants to eat brown rice with the soldiers. Shouldn't your Fan family also express it?
