Chapter 872 But who wants to be this early bird

After Xiao Yiping left, Yun Yi went back to the courtyard. Instead of going to the triplets' house, he went to the study first.

took out the previous materials, looked at the location of Yuwang's three warehouses, estimated the approximate time it would take, and then put it into the space.

Sitting on the rocking chair, she closed her eyes and thought about things. She knew that in addition to the five warehouses in the capital, King Yu also stored grain and grass in the prefectures outside the capital, but it took not only time, but also manpower and material resources to transport them back to Beijing from those places.

Now that the person in the palace knows that King Yu secretly supports his troops, he is afraid that he will not let it go. He has not done anything for more than a month, and he is afraid that he is holding back his big move.

Qingdai walked in with the tea she had just brewed: "Prince Shizi, the things you ordered your servants to give to the Xiao residence have already been delivered, and Mrs. Xiao brought a message, so that you don't have to worry about them all the time, everything is fine in the residence. "

Yunyi opened her eyes and looked at Qingdai: "What time did Brother Hao come to stay for a while?"

Qingdai helped her master to pour tea: "My uncle said that the academy has an assessment in the past few days, and said that he will come to stay after the assessment is over."

Yunyi deepened the smile on his face: "Yes, I know that I will come back after the assessment."

Qingdai also laughed: "The slave girl guesses, my uncle is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the temptation of the little masters, and that he is afraid that he will not care about his homework, which will affect the exam."

Yunyi didn't answer, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Qingdai thought of what she saw on the street before, and thought about it for a while: "Prince Concubine, on the way to Xiao's house, I saw a lot of beggars in the capital."

remembered the remarks he heard, and continued: "The slaves heard some people talking on the road, those people are not from the slums in the south of the city, nor are they beggars with no fixed place, many of them are from the countryside outside the city."

Yun Yi thought to himself: the thing that I was afraid of still happened. After paying the autumn tax in the countryside, I am afraid that there is not much food left. Now it is the twelfth lunar month, I am afraid that it has been exhausted, and the people who go to the city to beg in the future are afraid that It will only be more or less, and at least it will not be better until the spring of next year.

In the palace, Zuo Zijing, the minister of household, was reporting the recent shortage of food in the imperial study: "Sir, there have been many places where people have no food to eat because of the lack of autumn crops, and there have been many beggars in the capital recently. ."

At this time, Duan Jianzhang, the commander of the soldiers and horses standing on the side, took a step forward: "Report to the sage, what Lord Zuo said is true, there have been many gathering and fighting incidents in the city recently, all of which were done by beggars, we still have to come up with it as soon as possible. countermeasures.

Zuo Zijing glanced at Duan Jianzhang and thought to himself: The security of the capital is the responsibility of your military division. If you want to come up with a countermeasure, you need to tell me.

Sage Master heard the words of the two, and said with some worry: "Lord Zuo, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Zuo Zijing thought for a while and said, "Sir, this autumn, the grain is in arrears in various places, and the tax grain is only 60% of what it was in previous years. Now it has just entered the twelfth lunar month.

In the opinion of Wei Chen, it is better to wait a little longer. In the latter half of the year, when the people have no more food at home, they will open the warehouse and make porridge, which may be able to support the next spring. "

Sacred Master heard this, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Is there no other way? Just as Mr. Duan said, if there are a large number of beggars in the city, the security of the capital will be worrying."

Zuo Zijing thought to himself, unless someone takes the lead in cooking porridge, other big households have to share the worries of the court because of their face, and there is really no good way.

But who would want to be this early bird.
