In the blink of an eye, there was not a single bird left in front of the 'Huge Rich Rice Row'.

"Bluffing, huh?" Ju Youcai didn't believe it, so he asked the guy to move the table and let himself go out to see what was going on.

The banks of the river were crowded, and the giant boss relied on his height and strong body, and it was easy to squeeze to the front. Sure enough, I saw a row of 400 grain ships loaded on the Datong River, slowly sailing from the west, and there was no end in sight.

I saw the sailors lift the reed shed on the ship, revealing the sacks piled up inside. They also deliberately opened the sack and showed the white rice to the common people.

The people of the capital cheered when they saw this, although these rice were not for them, but this was directly crushed, and the unscrupulous profiteers concocted the lie of cutting off the grain, see how they still raise prices?

The boss with his mouth open, his eyes were as wide as a toad, and he couldn't figure out where all this rice came from. The guild had already received definite news that the Yellow River had burst its embankment in Pei County, and the 600-mile canal could not be opened to ships, and there would be no more grain transportation to the north this year.

So where did these grain ships come from? Flying from the south?

Just as he was full of doubts, he suddenly saw eye-catching opening flags on the bows of those grain ships.

Some of them are written 'Ning'an Eldest Princess Fengjia', and some are written with words such as 'Fengzhi' and 'Shipping'.

"Eldest Princess...... By Order...... Sea Shipping?!" People put the three signs together and thought they knew the truth.

"It turned out that His Majesty ordered the eldest princess to bring food from the sea!" The people cheered again, some shouted 'The emperor has no borders', and some shouted 'Eternal youth' of the eldest princess!

"Is your rice really transported from the sea?" Someone on the shore asked loudly.

"Of course, we went to the ocean from Chongming Island in Suzhou on the first day of the new year, and arrived in Tianjin Wei in ten days!" The sailors had rehearsed it over and over again, and the answers were rounded and loud, so that everyone could hear them.

"Can you go to Tianjin Wei by sea?" The people of the capital were shocked when they heard this, which was their blind spot. "Can it really be there in ten days?"

"Why not? The sea is all open, and the grain was shipped by sea during the Yongle years. The sailors replied loudly according to the standard answer: "And Mengyuan has always been by sea, how can we be inferior to them?!" ”

"That can't be!" The self-esteem of the people in the capital was aroused all of a sudden, and they suddenly felt that there was no difficulty in shipping.

"Hailu ......" has a lot of money but cold sweat on his forehead, he never thought there would be such a thing.

At this time, the who went to Tongzhou to pick up the driver came out of the cabin and hugged his fists in front of the crowd of onlookers:

"Our family is the head of the eldest princess's mansion, and I have been ordered by His Royal Highness to teach the old and young masters to know that the silting up of the canal is indeed a problem. However, the current Emperor Longqing is benevolent and compassionate, loves the people like a son, and will never starve the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”

When the people heard this, they burst into tears, and they shouted long live.

After everyone was quiet, the continued to say unhurriedly:

Therefore, His Majesty specially ordered the eldest princess to purchase 20,000 stone of grain from Jiangnan, and try to ship it by sea to temporarily replace Cao Yun. His Royal Highness personally led the fleet from the sea to the north, and sure enough, he went all the way safely, and successfully arrived at Tianjin Wei, along the Dagu River into the Grand Canal, and arrived at the Datong Bridge! ”

"Eldest Princess! Eldest Princess! Eldest Princess! "In the minds of the people of the capital, the eldest princess has long been a living Bodhisattva-like figure. When the common people heard that she was risking her life for everyone, they were even more moved, and they shouted her title unwillingly, for example, the voice of shouting 'Long live the emperor' was much higher.

The waited with a smile, and finally quieted down, and then continued to say loudly: "The grain shipped this time is all sold on the spot at the cost price of one two or three stones!" ”

"Wow!" There was an uproar, and the crowd suddenly boiled. That's half cheaper!

If it weren't for the boat in the river, they would have pounced.

"Don't rush, don't squeeze!" Seeing countless hands stretched out towards him, Father-in-law Ji hurriedly said loudly: "Since the sea route is open, there will be a steady stream of grain ships arriving in Beijing, which is enough to supply everyone!" It will be available soon and will be available at any time......"

The common people were appeased, but Da Youcai was completely panicked, and he hurriedly shrunk his neck, wanting to slip away while people were not paying attention.

But how could the people let him get his wish? I don't know how many hands stretched out, and at the same time grabbed his arms and clothes.

"Giant boss, don't go!"

"Go to your store and buy rice, and sell it for one or two stones!"

"Sell for three days!"

"If you dare to speak, it won't count, you'll smash your broken shop!"

"Really? And this good thing? Go together, go together! When the onlookers heard this, they also started to coax away.

"This, this ......" has the heart to jump into the river, but how can the common people let him get his wish, almost holding him up and rushing to the huge rich rice line not far away......

~~

More than 40 grain ships were led by Chen Huaixiu and Elder Niu to the Caoyun Wharf to unload their goods. With the taking care of it, there's nothing to worry about.

The eldest princess's boat continued to the royal pier. The palace sent someone to inform her, and His Majesty ordered her to take her children into the palace as soon as she got off the boat, and specially ordered Zhao Hao to join her. So Zhao Gongzi had no choice but to continue to follow his godmother.

Listening to the people's praise for the imperial brother and himself, Ning An felt a little sorry for Zhao Hao: "Obviously, it was my son Zhang Luo, but I let my godmother and my imperial brother pick the fruit." ”

"Mother's words are too outward, who is with whom of us?" Zhao Gongzi said with a sincere and filial face: "Besides, if you don't use the banner of your mother, can the ship of Jiangnan Shipping smoothly enter Dagukou?" The sailors of the imperial court had already stopped him. ”

In fact, the lanterns of 'Jiangnan Shipping' were hung on the ships, but the eldest princess covered the limelight. But those who have a heart will definitely see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts.

"What a good boy." Ning An happily said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will wrap up the matter of shipping grain." ”

"Hmm." This is the reason why Zhao Gongzi wants to let his godmother be in the limelight, now that the big words have been said, she will definitely do her best.

"It's a pity ......" But Ning An was self-aware, and sighed: "For such a big matter, it's not enough for Brother Guanghuang to nod, it has to be agreed by the cabinet, maybe it will have to go to the court." ”

"Well, the boy is ready for a long battle." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded. He also wants to cut through the mess quickly and finalize the matter, but the Caoyun interest group will never let him pass the test easily.

~~

While the two were talking, the sand boat stopped at the imperial pier, and the great eunuch Feng Bao led a group of palace people to wait for a long time.

Although Zhao Hao has a good relationship with Feng Bao, after all, Zhao Erye's name of 'Iron Bone Champion' is certified by Feng Gonggong. However, in this kind of public occasion, of course, the two pretended not to be familiar with each other, and only quickly raised their eyebrows, and then greeted each other step by step.

The eldest princess sat in an eight-carried phoenix sedan chair, and Zhao Hao and Li Mingyue's brothers and sisters also sat in a small sedan chair. After the four of them sat down, Gonggong Feng sang 'get up the sedan chair', the eunuchs lifted the sedan chair, opened the way in front of the brocade guard, played the honor guard of the eldest princess, and marched towards the Forbidden City.

Zhao Hao was actually quite surprised, although he recognized the eldest princess as his godmother, this relationship would not be officially recognized. Emperor Longqing invited his sister and nephew to dinner, and asked himself to be an outsider, is he short of money again?

But there's nothing to think about, anyway, you'll know after we meet. Emperor Longqing is good on this point, he has always said something, and he has never played any unpredictable monarchy, imperial tricks and the like.

~~

After a while, Feng drove into the palace, and the team went directly to the Qianqing Palace.

Feng Bao asked Ning An to go to the Dongnuan Pavilion to meet the emperor first, while Zhao Hao and Li Chengen waited in the outer hall.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Longqing was quite apprehensive, and asked Teng Xiang, who was serving on the side, "Have you put it all away?" No one is missing, and no one is complete. ”

"Everything that should be collected has been put away, Your Majesty, look, where is there anything that is exposed?" Teng Xiang hurriedly responded.

"That's good, that's good." Long Qing took a closer look at the warm pavilion, all the disgusting porcelain had been put away, and all kinds of things that were not suitable for children were replaced by normal furnishings. Only then did he put his mind down and said, "Let her see it, she will definitely smash me." ”

"Yes, yes." The eldest princess hid a leather whip on her sleeve and came to His Majesty to settle accounts, which made Teng Gonggong extremely impressed. This time, she was forced back to Beijing by the emperor in a series of deaths, and she was certain to be unhappy, and she didn't know how to get mad.

The master and servant were reviewing anxiously, and they heard the little eunuch outside singing: "The eldest princess of Ning'an asks to see." ”

"Xuan." Teng Xiang said in a trembling voice.

Long Qing quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and showed eight teeth in the mirror, smiling at him.

"Ning An to meet the imperial brother." Ning An came from outside with a gust of incense, and said good fortune to Emperor Longqing.

"Oh, sister, hurry up, let my brother take a good look at you!" Emperor Longqing hurriedly grabbed Ning An, looking at his sister's younger face with a loving expression, but he glanced at her abdomen.

After making sure that Ning An's stomach didn't fluctuate, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that the house was peaceful and no one died.

After the brother and sister sat down, Longqing found that the sister's mood was okay and not as irritable as he imagined. This made him feel relieved, but also a little curious, and asked if the girl was tired of playing.

But it's normal, I'm tired of my three palaces and six courtyards. What's more, she is only one, and she soaks together all day long, and she is not tired of being crooked.

Thinking of this, Hum couldn't help but secretly praise himself for being wise. The ancients said that it is better to be sparse than blocked, and it is sincere and not to be bullied.

Ning An looked at the imperial brother's expression change, as if he was complacent, and as if he had saved some treasure, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Brother, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"No, no, I'm very nice and comfortable, I've never been so comfortable." Emperor Longqing laughed and said: "It's you, sister, this time you went south, did you find that the so-called beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is just like that, and you are tired of seeing it?" ”

"No, the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is good." Ning An sighed with lovesickness on his face, and chanted Bai Letian's "Remembering Jiangnan" and said: "Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? ”

ps. The first is to ask for a monthly pass!
