Xiao Tianyao did not reply to Lin Chujiu's letter, and locked the dismantled Luban lock together with the letter, so he put the matter aside and only wrote to order Su Cha to find a few skilled craftsmen to see if the principle of the Luban lock could be used in Buildings and weapons above.
Su Cha received Xiao Tianyao's reply, and he was not surprised at all. He knew it would be like this for a long time, so he has been pestering Lin Chujiu for the past few days, and finally took out all the knowledge about Luban lock in Lin Chujiu's hands. come out.
Lin Chujiu had been stalked by Su Cha for the past few days. She obviously said everything she knew, but Su Cha didn't believe it.
Besides, she is not cotton soaked in water, she can squeeze out water with a squeeze!
She has said it a thousand times. She is studying architecture but medicine. She just used Luban locks as toys. How much can she understand
Lin Chujiu, who was terrified by Su Cha, finally had to resort to a trump card, pretending to be sick and not seeing Su Cha!
Lin Chujiu only wanted to pretend for two or three days, and it would be good to wait for Su Cha to get over her enthusiasm, but she didn't want her to announce that she was cured, and there was big news from the front - King Xiao came out! With more than 200,000 troops lost in the jungle a few months ago, they came out safely!
From the time King Xiao disappeared in the jungle, his life and death were unknown, to when King Xiao found the missing army and walked out, there were only seven days before and after, and the people of the capital were shocked again when they heard the news.
"King Xiao walked out of the jungle safely, and found the army who had been missing for several months. How is this possible? It can't be fake news, right?" The people in the capital were like swinging, rising and falling...
Ever since I received the news seven days ago that King Xiao was missing, the hearts of the people in the capital have been hanging high, looking forward to good news from the front line every day, but they are disappointed every day.
Since the news of Xiao Wang's disappearance came, the rice grains in Beijing became a hot commodity in an instant. No matter whether there is money or not, buy the rice first.
They were afraid. They were afraid that there was King Xiao, and the front line could not be defended. When the time came, people from Beili would come in and rob them of their food. Then the price of food skyrocketed, and they had no food to eat.
This happened a few years ago. After each war, the price of food must have skyrocketed, and even money could not buy food. The people of Dongwen were deeply affected.
"One news a day, which one is true and which one is false?" The people who were queuing up to buy food overheard the news and glanced at the price of food that was five cents higher than yesterday.
If King Xiao is all right, the price of food will definitely drop, and he will not buy it!
"I don't know. Didn't it say that King Xiao was dead two days ago? I just saw the urgent official document of 800 miles. Who knows whether it is true or not, and the court has no statement." The person who spoke took a look and changed it again. The price of food, the heart is uneasy.
How is this going
In the blink of an eye, the price of food has risen by another two cents.
"Could it be that the news is fake? These big businessmen are well-informed, and they will definitely not be wrong." The people who just came out of the team felt regretful in their hearts.
Mother, the price of food has gone up by two cents after turning around, but if you don't buy it, you won't be able to. If they can't win this battle, the price of food will be even higher.
"Brown rice, I want fifty pounds."
"Rice, two hundred catties, give me two hundred catties!"
…
The grain store was crowded with people who were rushing for grain. The second and the shopkeeper of the grain store said very proudly: "Hurry up, it will be gone if it's too late, that's all, it's gone when it's sold out."
"I, I... silver, this is silver."
"I'm in front, you pack it for me, and quickly give me the scale."
The front of the grain store was crowded with people. Everyone was afraid that the price of grain would rise again, and they went crazy with money, but at this moment, the official banged the gong along the street, "Everyone, don't be impatient, the frontline battle report, Xiao Wang is safe and sound. , and bring the 30th army back to the barracks, and the Northern Li will be beaten back in a few days, everyone can rest assured!"
"Bang..." After he finished speaking, he banged a gong to remind the people along the street.
"Everyone, don't worry, King Xiao has brought the army back to the camp, we Dongwen will win this battle!"
It's not that the imperial court is so inspiring, but some unscrupulous businessmen used the news of Xiao Tianyao's disappearance to make a fortune in the war, forcing the emperor to take action.
Well, these unscrupulous businessmen have Su Cha!
It's not that Su Cha is shameless, but all businessmen are like this. Su Cha is already kind. The grain shops of the Su family have the lowest prices no matter how they increase, especially today, the prices of the grain shops of the Su family have returned to normal, which is much more reliable than others.
As soon as the official news comes out, what should people worry about
"The profiteer, the profiteer, you profiteer, knowing that King Xiao is all right, you still raise the price of food. Smash, let's go together, and smash this shop that swindles people's money."
The people who were robbing grain in front of the grain shops heard the news, and then thought of the money they had spent wrongly, and they immediately became angry. Regardless of whether it was illegal or not, they smashed the planks and robbed the bags.
The law is not the same, these profiteers cheated money first, they smashed the shop, that is, they were jailed for a few days, but the food they got back was real...
Someone took the lead, and someone followed immediately, and all the grain shops in the capital were beaten, smashed and looted in an instant. The Su family's shop is no exception, but they are slightly better, except that the rice placed outside was robbed, and the rest are intact.
The incident was too big, and several people died in the process of looting. When the news reached the palace, the emperor was furious and ordered the officials to severely punish the traders who raised their prices indiscriminately, and at the same time locked up the troubled people.
The occurrence of such a thing at the feet of the emperor naturally aroused the great attention of the imperial court. Early the next day, the imperial censor impeached him, saying that this matter was caused by King Xiao's willful and reckless actions, and corrupt officials rushed forward.
Xiao Wangren is on the front line, how should he be severely punished
Of course, there were also people who stood up to speak for King Xiao, saying what did all this have to do with King Xiao? It was clearly that the officials in the capital did not appease the people well, and that made the people panic about the disappearance of King Xiao.
I don't want to, the emperor immediately changed his face as soon as the words came out, withdrew the person's official position on the spot, and dragged him out to play twenty big boards.
To say that the officials in the capital did not appease the people well, doesn't that mean that he is an incompetent emperor, and the dignified emperor sits in the capital, but he cannot appease the people in the capital
The emperor knew very well that Xiao Tianyao made a scene of disappearance in order to bring out his army in the jungle. The emperor was originally very dissatisfied with Xiao Tianyao's behavior, and when the official said it, his dissatisfaction turned into twelve points.
Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, the emperor immediately issued a decree to reprimand Xiao Wangfu, and the responsibility of the merchants to drive up the price of food and the people to loot the food was all on the Xiao Wangfu head, and the Xiao Wangfu should be fined 200,000 taels of silver...
After the eunuch who passed the decree finished reciting the imperial decree, Lin Chujiu was stunned.
The price of food has risen, and what is the matter with the people fighting on the front line? Their prince has only been missing for a few days. How can they know that those unscrupulous merchants will use this to drive up prices, and there will be incidents of looting food.
It wasn't like this happened before, but it wasn't serious this time.
Is this premeditated
Your Majesty, you are too cruel!
If this charge is detained, isn't the reputation of their prince ruined
