The Eldest Daughter is Beautiful and Saucy

   Chapter 986

  The number of people who saw so many people in food shops, they followed their counterparts in raising prices, and some simply closed the doors of the shops. Now...the people are even more panicked.

Since the people of Xiliang have become rich because of the jade brocade, fur and paper, the people of Xiliang who have little arable land have been more reluctant to work hard to cultivate. The price is cheap and the supply price is stable. The people feel that the income from cultivating food is not high, and the arable land becomes wasteful over time.

But at this moment, the grain shops in Yunjing suddenly increased in price, and suddenly they closed one after another to stop selling. Grain is the people's top livelihood. Isn’t the people running for food and clothing? The price increase is just like I caught the throats of the people in Xiliang, how could the people not panic?

  ·

It was late at night, the lights and shadows in the Mingyang Hall, the blue cloud gauze tents on both sides of the red beads hung by the red gold and copper hooks swayed in the breeze. He has long hair tied to the top of his head, wearing a jade crown, and dressed as a man, but the eyebrows are beautiful and strong, just like the peony king in bloom in a splendid age, brilliant.

  The two ministers knelt outside the slightly swaying bead curtain, and the Empress of Xiliang reported the chaos caused by the sudden increase in food prices in Yunjing today. Yun Poxing forcibly endured his cough, and stood dignified and remained silent.

When the Xiliang Empress received the news, she looked as expected, put down her pen, raised her teacup, revealing a small section of her white wrist, and looked up at the Hube Shangshu and Hube servant who came to report the news: " It's finally here..."

It's just a pity that she and the court officials noticed it a little late, but Cui Gongxing refused to admit it.

  However, there was a saying in ancient times, which is called mend the dead.

  The sooner you find this problem, the more you can remedy it in time. Although this hole is already big, it's better than watching it get bigger and bigger.

  After taking Cui Gongxing into prison last month, the Empress Xiliang issued a series of edicts to encourage farming, but with little effect.

  The Queen of Xiliang wanted to ruthlessly clean up the shops of Cui Gongxing, but now the people in Xiliang can say that most of the people in Xiliang depend on jade brocade for their livelihoods, and a few rely on fur, and the shop that bought the most in Xiliang is Cui Gongxing’s shop.

  If Cui Gongxing’s shop is closed down, Xiliang does not have such a large merchant who can swallow the jade brocade that the people make every day, and it will cut off the life of the people.

  Cui Gongxing is a smart person. She has a big business... and has also attracted the eight most powerful families in Xiliang to participate. Although the eight major families and two clans are no longer a climate, the power of the remaining six clans should not be underestimated.

Not to mention the intricacies involved, Cui Gongxing, with the help of Xiliang Xungui and several big families, has become the largest vendor of food for Xiliang, which is why the empress of Xiliang has not killed Cui Gongxing for a long time. , Kill Cui Gongxing... Half of the people in Xiliang probably will drink northwest wind.

The empress of Xiliang, who used to be a little merchant and a low-rank merchant, is because Cui Gongxing can tell her about the customs of the Jin country, and she has encountered strange and strange things when she travels to other countries and goes to sea. Cui Gongxing does not despise women, and speaks more equality between men and women. Such words were very much in the heart of the Xiliang Empress, so... Later, even if the Xiliang Empress did not regard Cui Gongxing as a confidant, he was regarded as a person who could talk.

  Unexpectedly, it is such a person... who is even concealing the evil heart to Xiliang.

  Sure enough, just as my father said, Jin...and Yan are the most scheming.

  It is also because Xiliang has been like a country in recent years, too lowly a businessman, that he never took a small businessman in his heart. I didn't expect that this businessman could have such a large energy, and could weaken a country in silence.

  During the period when Cui Gongxing was imprisoned, eight big families kept coming to intercede. Later, she got a promise from the Xiliang Empress that she would not interfere with the business of the shops under Cui Gongxing’s name and affect the income of the eight big families, and the eight big families ceased.

"Tomorrow, I will sell the grain and grass from Dayan that I ordered from the Department of Households to sell to the people at the normal market price..." After the female emperor Xiliang finished speaking, she asked Yun Poxing again, "The general thought, if this continues for a period of time, is it okay? Adjust the market price of food back?"

Yun Poxing held back his cough, turned around and bowed to the empress of Xiliang in the Zhu Lian, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks...the most urgent thing is to let Cui Fengnian go. The interests of Cui Fengnian and the eight great families are intertwined. This time has not been affected. Everything is fine for the eight major families. Now Cui Fengnian’s increase in food prices is just the beginning. If Cui Fengnian is not released, there will definitely be the next step, perhaps Jade Brocade."

  The female emperor of Xiliang pressed her lips, her beautiful and dazzling eyes were half-dangling, and her voice was a little bit of a smile: "Unexpectedly, I was once a powerful general in Xiliang, and I would be afraid of the eight families."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Yun Poxing couldn't help coughing a few more times, and continued to bear it, his cheeks flushed, "The old minister was not afraid, but through this incident, he understood these eight great families...understood It’s not the time for the Tibetans to make concessions, as the old minister and your majesty thought. It’s not the time to fight against the eight great families."

  The female emperor of Xiliang couldn't bear Yun Poxing holding on to talk to her, and motioned to the **** who was waiting next to Yun Poxing to give Yun Poxing a seat.

Yun Poxing took two sips of the teacup, coughed slightly, and suppressed the cough, and then said: "For example, this time...if the eight great families were tempted by profit and blocked the sight of Man Chao, who would know the originality? There is little farmland in Xiliang, the people have abandoned farming, weaving jade brocade, and hunting wild animals! Cough...cough cough..."

  The female emperor of Xiliang closed her eyes with chills.

  Yun Poxing coughing badly, he hurriedly took out a veil to cover his lips, and his heart and lungs became more and more piercing.

"General, sit down!" The Empress of Xiliang was very worried about Yun Poxing's body. Seeing that Yun Poxing couldn't hold her seated, the Empress of Xiliang slowly said, "The benefits of the country are not as important as their earning money! I think... the eight major families deliberately concealed the report this time because they valued that this jade brocade can bring great profits, and even more importantly... In their pockets."

For a long time, the female emperor Xiliang opened her eyes: "If I was right, I am afraid that there is a lot of food in the hands of these eight big families! The eight big families are waiting for the day when the price of food suddenly doubles, how can they care about a Cui? Respectful life and death."

  It's not that Cui Gongxing, a businessman, is very capable, but that the eight big families are too greedy.
