fake prince

Chapter 1213

"You two gentlemen, what are you..."

Seeing the two men hurrying out with disheveled faces, the waiting coachman looked over in confusion, his inquisitive eyes made the faces of the two feel hot.

The two with flushed faces looked at each other and sighed.

Yu Lu was more calm than Fang Xi, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next rice store."

"Hey!" The coachman didn't care so much, and responded directly, as if he didn't see the embarrassment of the two of them. The price is one tael for a day's rent, which naturally follows the wishes of the guest officer.

And, that is, walking around the street without hurting your strength.

After getting into the car, Yu Lu coughed dryly, looked at the silent Fang Xi and said, "Food is different from money, disaster relief, stabilizing the price of rice, salary, and war are all used!"

"Even if it's difficult, we have to do it. There are still seven rice shops left. Let's go and visit, even if we record the price of food."

"I know." Fang Xi lifted his spirits, the two of them didn't trust unfamiliar outsiders, so they simply didn't bring one with them this time, and only pretended to be scholars to inquire.

They went to a few more rice shops, large and small, and they returned to the inn without any fish slipping through the net.

At this time, it was already dark, and although the rows of shops were still open, there were fewer pedestrians, and their footsteps were even more hurried.

Even if it is a micro-service, Yu Lu is finally a little sober. He did not dare to live in a small shop. The inn he lives in is a big inn, which is also very luxurious. It is a two-story building facing the street. The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is expensive. Room.

There is also a large courtyard in this building. Rows of houses are built next to each other. They are all small rooms, but each room can accommodate more than a dozen people. Some of them are already lit with sesame oil lamps. The so-called Datong shop also built stables.

Yu Lv shared a room with Fang Xi, and as soon as they returned to the inn, the two went upstairs. Because they didn't want outsiders to know what they were doing, they didn't start summarizing the day until they returned to the room and closed the door.

The door was closed and the room was dark, so two candles were lit,
Not to mention, although he was stymied and ridiculed in a few rice shops, he still got some information more or less in other shops.

Yu Lv's memory is better, and he is responsible for recounting the numbers in his head one by one.

With a piece of paper spread out in front of Fang Xi, she took a pen and wrote down all the numbers reported by Yu Lv.

"The price of grain in this county can basically be verified." Yu Lv opened a piece of paper, pointed to a column and said, "The price of new wheat is four cents and seven cents per stone, and last year it was four cents and four cents. The reason why food is used for disaster relief.”

"I remember that when I first ascended the throne today, the price of new wheat was [-] cents per stone, which is a whole [-] cent higher." Fang Xi was thoughtful.

"It's not calculated like this. The cheaper the food, the better. Don't forget that at least [-]% of the entire county is a farmer. If the price of food is too low, it will hurt the farmers."

"The deputy imperial envoy, Mr. Zhang Dai Zhang, when he was in power, he did not distinguish between black and white, and only insisted on suppressing the strong. He insisted on knocking down the price of wheat to three cents. This is too cheap. As a result, not only the landlords and businessmen in the county resented, but even the farmers And curse him to death."

"Food prices are too low. After a year of hard work, there is not much left."

"Hundreds of thousands of people welcomed the upright officials, and they were in great distress."

Yu Lv sighed thoughtfully, "As a scholar, we can protect the weak and destroy the strong. I am afraid that such a concept of government will be of no benefit to the country or the people!"

Seeing Fang Xi's surprise, he raised his body, frowned, and said after a long time: "This is the teaching of the grandson. I didn't pay attention to it before. Thinking about it now, it is very meaningful."

"The way of a university is to be close to the people and to be the best, but how can it be the best?"

Fang Xi stopped writing, and the two were silent. In fact, the two of them had read a lot, but they really didn't know much about economics.

"The price of food is almost the same, let's see what clues there are." Yu Lv stopped feeling emotional, and leaned over to see what Fang Xi had recorded.

Seeing this, both of them couldn't help but sigh.

"Can't find out!"

After being silent for a while, Yu Lu said: "It's only a few days, it's understandable if we can't find out, don't be discouraged, we can continue to investigate tomorrow."

Fang Xi nodded: "It's exactly what I want, so let's do it this way."

The walls of this inn are made of real materials, and the sound insulation effect is quite good. At least for the two people who have checked the sound insulation effect, they can't hear the low voices next door at all.

But they didn't know that this was just their feeling, and in the next room, someone's ear was pressed against the wall, and through the copper pipe, he heard the content of the speech clearly.

Not only listening, but also someone spying on the movements of the two through the small hole hidden behind the calligraphy and painting.

Combined with the content of the speech, it is not difficult to sum up what the two of them have gained today.

The young man who looked back and listened attentively sealed the mouth of the nozzle with wax, turned his face and bowed slightly, and said to the person sitting behind the table: "My lord, these two are more incompetent than we think. They have been investigating the case for many days. They are all just scratching the surface outside, if this continues, when will we be able to get to the point?"

The adult in the middle also trembled slightly. If the two of them were too capable, I would be worried, but if they were so incompetent, I would also be worried!

These two people should be pushed out, and they should "be upright, punish corruption, clean up officials, die for the country, stir up civil uprisings, and punish the prince"

I don't want to have no progress all the time, and I can't push it up, this is really terrible!
"This is actually normal." There were two other people sitting beside the table, obviously of high status. Hearing this, the left side smiled and said, "Not only are they young, but they are also scholars."

"It can be said that if you don't hear what's going on outside the window, you only read the books of sages. I'm afraid you don't even know the official procedures, let alone the details of the grain in and out. No matter how you check it, you will have no direction."

"That's why the imperial court has to give Jinshi the rule that they can only be hired after two or three years."

Another person listened with a smile and said: "You are right, but Yu Lu and Fang Xi are like this, it's not a problem, the stage is set up, and the two of you want to leave your name in history and die in the line of duty, but the two of you are afraid of dying. It’s difficult to be incompetent but completely incompetent.”

All three of them spoke, but the only man who was sitting still frowned and said nothing.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that there was no movement next door that the leading man pondered for a moment, and said to the standing person: "You go."

This order was issued with confidence, with a straight back, and although he looked mediocre, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, with an extraordinary aura, obviously a person who was used to giving orders.

The person who was ordered immediately said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, don't worry, I will go to be a righteous man and guide them."

"Make sure that the two of you can go on the stage, act in the script, and lie in the coffin."

"The identity is also simple. With the cooperation of the government, no one can expose me as a poor scholar. I must be cited as a comrade by them."

However, when this person stepped back, the corner of his mouth twitched, still showing a somewhat speechless expression.

Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, the person standing on the other side heaved a sigh of relief, thinking of a hard bone in the imperial envoy this time, he reminded with concern: "My lord, there is also that Zhang Dai, he is not a good person to get along with." , is a hard bone..."

But the grown-up didn't take it seriously, and said lightly: "I have already prescribed the right medicine for the case. It's fine to be a fake official. The real and honest official is the most useful in the world. Heh, without spending a tael of money, you can make him obediently charge for me and fight for me." Death!"

"To die for the country, Zhang Dai must be happy to obey his orders. In addition to the fate of Yu Lu and Fang Xi, he can be called the three righteous men of the Spring and Autumn Period. I will never forget them. I will ask for a beautiful posthumous posthumous posthumous title for them."
