Chapter 388: Lack of Food
If it is only one or two villages, it is understandable, but in such a short period of time, it is obviously not normal for so many cases to happen.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, and it is exactly so, so the minister hurriedly told Your Majesty." Xun Yu listened to Liu Wei's words and spoke.
"Have you found any clues now?" After a while, Liu Wei looked at Xun You and asked.
Xun You only took the case file and the fold to himself at this time, which means that it has been a while.
Liu Wei believed that these things would not be found without any discoveries in Xun You's hands.
"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the ministers, the key word in this incident lies in a grain word."
After listening to Liu Bian's words, Xun You raised his head and looked at Liu Bian, and opened his mouth to analyze.
"Whether it's fertile land or food for the people, it's all because of food."
After hearing this, Liu Wei nodded and said that he understood, if it weren't for the shortage of food, even if it took time to reclaim farmland, it wouldn't be like this.
Moreover, in addition to the original people's farmland, there are also newly relocated people's farmland for the imperial examination.
"Although it is not a peaceful and prosperous era now, there are no major natural disasters, why is there a sudden shortage of food?"
Liu Wei looked at Xun You and asked, he was still very puzzled at this point.
In the states and counties in their own hands, the productive forces have naturally been restored to a certain extent, and there has never been a problem with public security.
But now something like this has suddenly happened.
"Your Majesty, this matter is being investigated." Xun You replied.
"Well, let's focus on why food is suddenly in short supply, as well as the price of food, the change in food price, and whether there can be a family involved."
Liu Wei nodded, then looked at Xun Yu and said.
Since it is not groundless, then there must be someone operating behind the scenes, and ordinary people obviously cannot.
So since ordinary people can't, naturally there are only those big families who want to check.
"Your Majesty suspects that it has something to do with the family?" Xun You asked after listening to Liu Wei's words.
"Don't you think Gongda?" Liu Wei asked rhetorically, and he didn't believe that Yi Xun You's intelligence would not be able to guess such a thing.
"But if it is really a family that is involved, how should Your Majesty deal with it, if it is not handled properly, not only will the people be confused, but it will also cause more family resentment and targeting."
Xun You looked at Liu Wei and said worriedly.
Liu Wei instantly understood what Xun You meant, Xun You didn't have doubts, but he had long doubted them, but considering the impact of the matter, he didn't want to think like this.
Liu Wei knew about Xun You's worries, but this matter must also be dealt with.
"Go and do it, if we are timid, then we can't deal with it at that time, and Jinyang may be in chaos." Liu Wei sighed and spoke.
As for how to deal with it in the end, whether it is really related to the family family and how many family families are involved, everything naturally needs to rely on the results of the investigation to speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xun Yu replied and then retreated.
Suddenly, something like this happened, and Liu Wei naturally took out his main energy to deal with this matter first.
It is now January, and spring has not yet begun, and at this time there is a problem with food, and it is not easy to mobilize it for a while.
If it is really the family that is manipulating, then I am afraid that they have already been prepared, and the nearby grain and grass are afraid that it will not be their turn.
"Come on, Lord Xuan has come to my study."
After thinking about it, Liu Wei said, if it is only by Xun You's investigation, I am afraid that it will not be as fast as this big investigation.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Yue soon came to Liu Wei's study.
"Wang Yue has seen Your Majesty, I don't know what is important for Your Majesty's urgent summons?" Wang Yue came to the study and looked at Liu Wei and said.
"Master Wang got up and spoke, I announced that you did have something to do, I hope Master Wang can find out as soon as possible." Liu Wei helped Wang Yue up and then spoke.
"Your Majesty, please command, the minister will do his best." Wang Yue clasped his fists and immediately looked at Liu Wei and said.
"Recently, there has been a shortage of food in Jinyang and the vicinity, and I want you to find out where you are going, whether there are any big families who have bought a large number of them, and if so, which big families are the main ones."
Liu Wei looked at Wang Yue and said, when the time comes, Xun You's people and the big ones will go hand in hand, and the speed will naturally be faster.
Maybe if the two people go to investigate, they can also find different clues, and when the time comes, they will converge and intersect, and maybe there will be greater discoveries.
At this time, it is natural that the more clues you know, the better it will be for you.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After listening to Liu Wei's words, Wang Yue immediately received the order.
"Okay, let's go down, find out about this matter as soon as possible, and the rest of the things can be put aside for the time being." Liu Wei nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, Shi, when he came back, he saw Yu Ji Daoren, but Yu Ji didn't react to His Majesty's words."
When Wang Yue was about to retreat, he suddenly thought of this matter again, so he immediately spoke.
"Don't worry about this matter, let's check what I just ordered." Liu Wei raised his hand and signaled.
Anyway, he has already reminded Yu Ji, what will be his result in the end, then he can't care about it.
And Yu Ji knows the Tao again, so he shouldn't be cut down by Sun Ce like this.
If Yu Ji can be used for himself, he may persuade him a few more times, or Yu Ji will tell him if he is willing to come to Jinyang.
But now that neither of them has been done by Yu Ji, why should he bother to be there.
Now that the food matter has not been dealt with, this is the top priority.
Soon Wang Yue retreated, and Liu Wei paced in the study alone.
If there is really a plot to do this, who will it be?
After sitting for a while, Liu Wei couldn't sit still and got up and left the study directly.
It seems that he has been in the mansion for too long in the past few days, so there are some things that he can't see.
After leaving the study, Liu Wei directly called Dian Wei, and then the two of them walked out of the mansion and walked on the streets of Jinyang.
"Your Majesty, I thought that you didn't need to bother with this matter at all, if you found out, I would just kill them." Dian Wei walked aside and spoke.
Liu Wei smiled and didn't speak, if only it were that simple.
Even if he is the emperor, those big families buy grain monopoly, and it is impossible for him to kill them like this.
If this is the case, it is not the few families in Jinyang that he has offended, the families in the world, even the families who have compromised now, will be uneasy and rebel.
After all, sitting on the ground and starting the price, buying out the monopoly and making huge profits is a means for these families to make a fortune.
It's not like they haven't done such a thing, they can take a strategy to slowly control them, but it is definitely not possible to kill people directly.
Otherwise, if you directly slaughter those big families, you can worry about it yourself, and this thing will be gone for a long time.
"Your Majesty... Childe, what do you think of what I said? Seeing that Liu Wei didn't speak, Dian Wei continued to ask.
It seems that if Liu Wei doesn't give him an answer, he won't give up.
"Not good." Liu Wei said helplessly.
Walking on the streets of Jinyang, I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, but now it's no longer as lively as before.
Even many people ran past Liu Wei in a hurry, as if they were going to miss something terrible if they were late.
"Childe, where are they going in such a hurry, could it be reincarnation." Dian Wei said after seeing it.
After Liu Wei heard this, he just wanted to speak, but before he could speak, someone had already spoken.
"Bah, how do you talk like a big man, can you speak, what do you mean by us going to reincarnate, we are buying food." A man stopped and looked at Dian Wei and said unhappily.
"Can you hurry up, you dead ghost, ink with him, don't go to the rice shop and close the door, see what else you eat, tomorrow you may buy it for a long price."
At this time, the woman who walked in front immediately stopped doing it, and then looked back at her man and accused.
"It's coming, it's coming." The man answered and ran.
Seeing this, Liu Wei also led Dian Wei in that direction.
When Liu Wei and Dian Wei arrived, they saw that the grain shop on this street was doing a brisk business.
When Liu Wei was about to stand forward, he was directly dragged out.
