The palace of the king of Chu, the dormitory.

Luo Qingluan was reasoning with Nalan Ye, who was lying in bed: "It's time to get up, it's time." ”

Nalan Ye was unheard, holding Luo Qingluan and not relaxing, Luo Qingluan struggled, but did not struggle.

"You can't afford it, I still have to get up, there are still many things to do today." Luo Qingluan is helpless, how can this man be so coquettish? She warned, "I'm going to be angry." ”

The prince of Nalan was very aware of the times and let go of Junjie, but he still circled Luo Qingluan and didn't let her leave, Nalan Ye asked: "Qingluan combs my hair for me." ”

“…… Good. Luo Qingluan said that she had no choice.

Nalan Ye, who finally got up, sat on the edge of the couch and sat obediently and asked Luo Qingluan to comb his hair with a sandalwood comb.

Nalan Ye's hair was black and straight, extremely smooth, and full of luster, Luo Qingluan touched it secretly twice while combing.

Just as he was about to touch it for the third time, Nalan Ye suddenly spoke: "How are things going on Qingluan's side?" ”

He suddenly spoke, Luo Qingluan was startled, and an accidentally sandalwood comb clamped a few strands of Nalan Ye's hair, Nalan Ye was obviously pinched, and looked at Luo Qingluan aggrievedly.

Luo Qingluan cleared his throat, rescued Nalan Ye's hair in his hand, and replied pretending that nothing had happened: "Everything is going well, but I have to ask Yuan Xingyongan and them later, so that I can know exactly what the current situation is." ”

"This king is a little curious," Nalan Ye changed the topic cooperatively, "How can Qingluan ensure that the merchants of Dongwan Capital City will not go to other places to buy medicinal herbs?" ”

"Because they can't buy it." Luo Qingluan blinked slyly, "I have discussed with Nangong Yu, and there are a few groups of bandits who have been ambushed on the way to Dongwan Capital, and they have not even let go of the waterway, and there are good people in the water who have been arranged a long time ago waiting for them!" ”

Nalan Ye looked at Luo Qingluan's confident appearance and smiled: "No wonder this king heard that there are seas and rivers near Dongwan, and there have been frequent shipwrecks recently, and bandits are rampant in the surrounding mountains. ”

Nalan Ye smiled, Luo Qingluan knew at a glance that this guy had already guessed it, these were her masterpieces, but he was still teasing her here!

Luo Qingluan pursed his lips and turned his head away from him.

A slender hand stretched out, Luo Qingluan didn't need to look at it to know whose hand it was, the corners of her mouth curved, that hand scratched Luo Qingluan's chin, and the owner of the hand asked, "What does Qingluan want to eat?" The king commanded them to do it. ”

Luo Qingluan has never been a hypocritical person, and she will not get along with eating, she turned her head and said seriously: "Crystal shrimp dumplings, golden spring rolls and oyster mushroom seaweed soup!" ”

Nalan Ye laughed: "Okay." ”

……

After breakfast, Nalan Ye summoned Yuan Xing and Yongan in the study, and Luo Qingluan grinded Nalan Ye on the side with great interest.

She rarely does this kind of thing, but she finds it especially interesting to do at this time.

Yuan Xing and Yongan arrived, and said in unison: "The prince and the princess are safe." ”

"Well, it's Qingluan who has something to ask you about." Nalan was busy at the desk at night, and replied without raising his head.

"Princess, excuse me." The two turned to Luo Qingluan with a respectful attitude.

Luo Qingluan waved his hand, and the ink strip in his hand was still spinning in circles: "No need to be polite, I just want to ask you, how is the wind in Dongwan Capital now?" ”

Yuan Xing Yongan glanced at each other, and Yongan said: "Princess, the people who arranged it have already bought the medicinal materials in the hands of Prince Nangong Yu in the first batch. Other merchants...... Looks like it's still waiting. ”

Hearing the word "arranger", the pen in Nalan Ye's hand paused, and he smiled: "It turns out that this first warrior to sell medicinal herbs was actually arranged by Qingluan?!" ”

"yes, that's normal." Luo Qingluan didn't care, "When the scene is frozen, someone is always needed to break the ice." ”

Luo Qingluan turned around and asked, "What is Nangong Yu's attitude over there?" ”

"Prince Nangong Yu doesn't seem to be in a hurry, yesterday his subordinates went to investigate, and he also told his subordinates not to be anxious." Yuan Xing was also a little puzzled, didn't the second prince pay the most attention to business? Aren't you in a hurry at this time?!

Luo Qingluan smiled in a low voice: "The profiteer is really a profiteer, that is, he can hold it steady." ”

Nalan Ye put the wolf pen on the porcelain pen wash, and glanced at Luo Qingluan gently: "Qingluan guessed all this, right?" ”

"Of course......" Luo Qingluan hesitated a little, "After all...... I don't want to hurt the innocent. ”

Pharmaceutical, controlling the storage of medicinal materials, these are Luo Qingluan's strategies. And the people of Dongwan Capital have indeed suffered because of these.

Luo Qingluan is not a person from a feudal society through and through, she still believes in equality for all, but because of this, it is difficult for her not to feel a sense of guilt when she is doing it now.

Yuan Xing is used to looking at his eyes, and he is busy at this time: "Don't worry about the princess, the people we arranged distributed the medicinal materials we bought to the people of Dongwan Capital, which is also accumulating virtue." ”

Compared with words of comfort, the king of Chu has always preferred to support Luo Qingluan in person. Nalan Ye hugged her with one hand and said, "What Qingluan did is not wrong, you have tried your best not to hurt the innocent, and there are some things that we can't control." ”

"Okay," Luo Qingluan leaned lightly into Nalan Ye's arms, "I hope this will all work out......

Yuan Xing: "Definitely." ”

Yong'an: "The princess is at ease!" ”

……

Facts have proved that Luo Qingluan's public opinion building still has a huge effect.

When someone was the first to buy medicinal materials from Nangong Yu, there was a continuous sensation in Dongwan Capital. Now, even the common people, no one knows that there is a merchant of the Southern Wei Dynasty who has medicinal materials that can treat the plague.

That's a life-saving herb.

But it's expensive, it's very expensive.

The attitude of the desperate person and the person who still has a glimmer of hope is completely different.

The people of Dongwan Capital originally thought that there were no medicinal materials anyway, and they could just resign themselves to fate. Now that I know that there are still people with life-saving medicinal materials in their hands, how can I not act like before?!

No matter how angry the common people are, no one dares to do anything "protesting" in this era of great authority.

But the officials could not sit still.

Emperor Dongwan's management is not very sage, and the officials under him don't have any idea of caring for the people, they value themselves who are expensive!

The officials of the Dongwan court, including the family members of the officials, are getting sicker and sicker, and they have no intention of going to government at all. It's possible that your life can't be saved, and what kind of court will you go to?!

All they want is medicinal herbs, life-saving herbs!

However, what I can't guess is, how expensive are Nangong Yu's medicinal materials?

How expensive are the medicinal materials sold by Nangong Yu?

It is so expensive that the unprofitable corrupt officials in the Dongwan part can't afford it.

Of course, some officials are used to taking money in their hands and are reluctant to give this money, after all, this is a lot of money.

So someone found another way, planning to instigate Emperor Dongwan to pay this money. After all, which plague is not counted as a national disaster?

The next morning, the official department Shangshu took the lead in playing: "The minister has a book." ”

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Emperor Dongwan raised his hand slightly tiredly, although he was wearing a golden dragon robe, he couldn't hide his old look.

The official department bowed and said: "Recently, the plague has been rampant in Beijing, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials, both the people and officials are suffering from it, and the only medicinal material control merchant is a middle-aged man from the Southern Wei Dynasty, and the price is set extremely high, not to mention the common people, even our officials can't afford it." ”

Hearing the word "Southern Wei Merchant", Emperor Dongwan frowned, when did such a character appear? He said in a deep voice: "What does Aiqing think? ”

"I beg your majesty!" The official Shangshu said a big gift and knelt on the ground, "Spend this silver from the household department to tide over this disaster for me Dongwan!" ”

A group of ministers with the same idea knelt down one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Anyway, Shihui, the head of the household department, died violently in his house a few days ago, and now the household department is making a mess, and the bully still has to pick a soft persimmon to pinch it, isn't it?

Emperor Dongwan twitched the corners of his mouth. What kind of price is it that even this group of officials cannot afford? Out of the household? Is this to empty the treasury?!

"Wait for the first time." Emperor Dongwan felt that it was better to stabilize this group of ministers first.

"I beg Your Majesty's permission!!" The officials and ministers knelt and did not move, making it clear that Emperor Dongwan would not get up if they did not agree.

Emperor Dongwan: "......"

"Heh," Emperor Dongwan was also angry, he was busy dealing with the tricks of Nalan Night in the past few days, and he forgot about the plague for a while, but he didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in less than a few days.

"It is still unknown whether this strange disease is a plague, how can you, as an official of the imperial court, just catch the wind and catch the shadows! How can I believe in your abilities?! Emperor Dongwan shouted coldly.

The emperor was furious, and all the ministers who knelt on the ground were silent, not daring to say a word.

Speaking of which, this strange disease, the official department of the scholar is the worst, and it is a little worse than the direct death of the household department of the scholar.

There are more than 20 people in the family of the official department, except for the official department book himself, no one else was spared, and the symptoms are relatively serious.

That's right, the Mansion of the Ministry of Officials is the mansion of corrupt officials that Leng Li has paid special attention to.

At this time, the official Shangshu could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty is ...... This strange disease, whether it is a plague or not, has already caused great damage to the capital. For the sake of today, it is to control the condition, please ...... Your Majesty"

"Enough ——!" As soon as Emperor Dongwan raised his sleeves, the pen washing paperweight on the dragon case and other things were scattered on the ground.

There was a chaotic sound in the ears, whether it was the official secretary of the head iron, or the ministers who were about to go along with it, they all quieted down, and the court could hear the needle falling for a while.

After a suffocating silence, Emperor Dongwan shouted: "Where are the people of Dali Temple? ”

The old Shaoqing of Dali Temple was excited, and hurriedly said: "The minister is here, Your Majesty, please command!" ”

"Give me check, clear, and Chu!" Emperor Dongwan gritted his teeth, "Who is behind this strange disease!" and the Southern Wei merchant who appeared inexplicably, what is the origin of it, I will find out!! ”
