Chapter 1804 I Can't Take Care of Myself
And this situation is getting more and more serious.
Above the court, Emperor Wen Yuan also threw Qin Zhe aside.
The heavy rain in Jiangning for several days has already submerged more than half of the wheat fields that are about to mature, and it is about to harvest the grain itself. Except for the earlier harvest, and the later recovered, the loss is more than half.
And other realms have lost a lot, and this may be the worst year of harvest since he took the throne.
"Father, the shop in the capital, the people are already looting food."
The prince frowned, and said to Emperor Wen Yuan that nearly half of the grain shops were closed, and he didn't know whether there was no grain to sell, or whether he was waiting for the price of grain to rise in the future.
There is never a shortage of people who can do business in this world, and there are many such people who make a fortune through natural disasters.
And whether it is taking the opportunity to make a fortune, or there is really no food to sell, for the common people, cotton is not a good thing.
Obviously, compared to having no grain to sell, he actually hopes that they are really stocking up grain, they just want to sell it at a high price, they just want to make more money.
At the very least, there is still food, and at the very least, it is for the common people to have food to buy, even if it is really expensive.
But fear is fear, no amount of money can buy food.
Emperor Wen Yuan stood up and walked on the spot. Then he stopped and walked in front of the prince.
"Emperor, what can you do?"
The crown prince bowed to Emperor Wen Yuan.
"Imperial Father can order that those grain shops sell limited grains. In the name of household registration, each household is limited to how much they can buy per month. In this way, it is also to prevent the common people from looting grain, making grain prices soar all the way. At the same time, it is also necessary to Count the grain in the grain depot, in case of emergency, and open the warehouse to release grain."
Emperor Wen Yuan patted the crown prince lightly on the shoulder. The students taught by Sixiu Academy are truly qualified royals, whether they are the three members of Shuo Wangfu or his crown prince, who grew up. It is gratifying, of course, he can give them all the peace of mind by handing over the country.
"That's it."
Emperor Wen Yuan withdrew his hand, sat down at the table again, picked up the pen on the side, and also began to write the imperial edict.
All the major grain shops in Beijing are not allowed to raise the price of grain without permission, and the household registration shall prevail, and households are restricted to buy grain.
That is to say, even if there is money, it is impossible to buy more food, and once this ban comes out, it will be the same everywhere in Dazhou.
It is also to prevent some people from hoarding food and then selling it at a high price, but once the above ban came out, it undoubtedly caused people to panic even more.
I am afraid that the grain shop will have no grain to sell, and I will also have no rice to eat.
And if there is no food, it is equivalent to waiting to die, especially those who have not harvested grains of grain this year. For several years, the weather has been good, the food has been harvested well, and there are also easy-to-grow things like snow mustard, so those who have old food will also sell some when the new food comes out, not only for some silver taels, but also Make room for new food.
But because of this, it is necessary to go to the pot without food, and those who did not sell the old food are also glad that they still have at least one old food, but it is all right, you borrow some today, and I will borrow some tomorrow. Even if there is more old food, it will not last long if you think about it, and you will be hungry.
In this regard, another month has passed. Even in the capital, it is extremely difficult to buy grain at this time, and many grain shops now sell old noodles and old rice.
"How good is the food in Xiangjue Temple?"
Shen Qingci hugged Xiao Laobai and asked his two sons, who came from Xiangjue Temple. These crystals are also between the palace and the mansion. The young ones are also pressed on their shoulders. Put down a lot of burdens.
The food at the foot of the mountain is extremely difficult to buy. I wonder if the Xiangjue Temple is good?
"Don't worry, mother, Lao Yuxi poured a cup of tea for Shen Qingci and put it in front of her."
The food was harvested early in Xiangjue Temple, and the food was not exposed to the rain. As long as the food was knocked out, it was enough for the people in the temple to eat for about a year. No matter what, the so-called food shortage is also got there.
"That's good," Shen Qing said with a sigh of relief, at least one less thing to worry about.
Just don't starve that old monk to death.
Of course, she also felt that she was a little worried for nothing. That old monk is so smart, it is really impossible to have no food. He is probably the same as her. He doesn't know how much food he has secretly stocked?
"Yi'er, mother needs you to go out once."
Shen Qingci reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, and then raised his eyes to look at Luo Yuyi.
Luo Yuyi nodded, what can my mother ask?
"Well," Shen Qingci closed his eyes, and calmed down his thoughts for a few moments, and this is what he said.
"You will secretly take away the food from Changyu, Liucheng, and Yuchi's three places, Yipinxiang, and send it to your grandfather."
"My mother is worried about my grandfather?"
Luo Yuyi also sat up involuntarily.
"Isn't the court going to give food to the border gates?"
And the grain and grass at the border has always come from the court. Why, my mother has to transport grain there now. They have a lot of grain in each warehouse of Yipinxiang. They also know that, but now they have to take away these grains. Is it because the imperial court does not allocate grain?
"I'm afraid that the court will be overwhelmed."
The longer Shen Qing resigned and lived, the more transparent she found herself living. Of course, there are some things about the daughter's country. She no longer likes to rely on others, but likes to be foolproof by herself. She has been reborn from her previous life to this one. , has always been speaking in front of Shen Qing, but it is the emperor's heart.
The rain has not stopped. It is already certain that there will be a food shortage this year, and the first to bear the brunt is not the people, but the soldiers. Although the world is peaceful now, there are also countless conflicts in the peace. In a very microsecond situation, Northern Qi has always been a vassal of Da Zhou, and now the national power is gradually weakening, and now the upper position is also a small emperor. To lay down the next country.
Baichu has always had a good relationship with Da Zhou, and has always been in the process of life and health. Now it is also the time when the old and the new emperors are replaced, and they will not be too sharp.
As for Cang Tao, he has always been a restless person. Of course, he is also in a stupid way. For some reason, he will stick out his teeth and bite back.
Even if it was just a bite, it would be extremely painful for Da Zhou, not to mention that there are some homeless people on the border of Da Zhou, and they would harass the people of Da Zhou from time to time.
