Chapter 445
But now it seems that this little accident seems to have increased Ren Yi's favor towards him?
When Fan Xi was secretly delighted, a servant suddenly came in from outside and whispered a few words in Fan Xi's ear.

After hearing this, Fan Xi straightened his face, and cupped his hands towards Ren Yi: "Your Highness is benevolent! I heard early in the morning that the porridge stall in the city was set up by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Just now I reported that the porridge stall in the city is It’s set up again, and there’s already a long queue. I’m here, thanking His Highness on behalf of the people of the city.”

Saying that, Fan Xi bowed and bowed down.

Ren Yi helped him up: "You don't have to be like this. I was idle in the capital. Seeing that I had nothing to do, the queen mother and the emperor asked me to come out more to see the sufferings of the people, so that I could tell them when I return to Beijing. Porridge It's just some of our intentions, and the water can't quench the near thirst, and the people really have to rely on you parents and officials."

Ren Yi said this cleverly, as if she was implying that it was Qu Rushuang and Ren Fu's intention to give the porridge, but she didn't completely put herself aside.

Fan Xi understood what she meant: "Your Majesty will do his best to be worthy of the official uniform he wears, and also be worthy of the expectations of His Majesty and Queen Mother."

"The most important thing is to live up to the expectations of the people."

Ren Yi took a deep look at him.

Fan Xi: "Yes, yes. In this way, the lower officials have already placed some simple meals in the main room, all of which are homemade. I wonder if His Highness will appreciate it..."

"Let's talk about the meal later. I will visit the residence of City Lord Fan first, and then I will go to the porridge stall."

"What Your Highness said is absolutely true! We need the common people to eat well so that we can eat with peace of mind. Your Highness will go with you!"
-
The story of giving out porridge spread quickly in Luoshu City.

"Hurry up, go home, and take out all the bags, jars, pots and bowls at home! There is another porridge giver in the city!"

"Is it the stall with the red tablecloth? That's great. His porridge is the thickest. Drinking one bowl is worth two bowls of others."

"Isn't it? I heard that this stall has been set up by Her Royal Highness the Princess. It's been two or three years. What a kind person."

"The Bodhisattva blesses the Eldest Princess with good health and everything goes smoothly. Such a good person must be rewarded."

When Xia Qingyang and his party came out of the teahouse and walked towards the porridge stand, the passers-by were jogging happily, and they could occasionally hear such conversations.

"It's so simple." Su Quan felt a little emotional, "That's all for Shi some porridge. If I bring them some food and meat, you don't have to kneel down and thank me."

"Shengmi En fights Michou, if you really take out the meat, be careful of being assassinated."

Xia Qingyang rolled his eyes and made a harmless little joke.

Empress Yin was also amused: "In other words, after changing this robe, it seems that not so many people really look back at you."

Yes, at this very moment, Xia Qingyang really changed from her black suit.

She just borrowed the teahouse's private room and changed into a navy blue T-shirt with a fairy-pattern brocade belt around her waist. She exuded an air of elegance in her low-key manner. It was more credible to say that she was a diner when she went out, and it was not so bluffing. People.

Xia Qingyang looked at the pedestrians walking hurriedly with bowls and basins in their arms: "No one else has time to look at me. Here, look, it's just ahead."

Empress Yin heard the words and looked around, and saw two long queues in front, and at the end of the queue was a porridge stall covered with a red tablecloth.

The expressions of the people in the team were filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Xia Qingyang deliberately took some steps to listen to what they were talking about——

"Why are there so many people? There were not so many people queuing up last year. Can I still have porridge when I'm in the queue?"

"Hey, the year is not good, there is nothing I can do. There are five people in my family eating, and we are very tight. If I can't go out to dig some wild vegetables every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."

"Our Luoshu City is not bad. My youngest son just came back from Jinchang City a while ago, and said that Jinchang City is famine and people are going to rob the army."

"Huh? Go crazy, isn't that something that you will lose your head if you catch it!"

"I'm almost starving to death. I can eat as much as I can. I can't care about that. Let me tell you, there is no war now anyway. It's better to distribute all the food to the common people."

The situation is indeed not good.

Xia Qingyang frowned slightly as he walked.

However, the age is not good...

Xia Qingyang: "Su Quan, Boss Ye, when you were collecting information, did you hear how other countries' harvests have been in recent years?"

"I haven't heard about this." Su Quan was taken aback, "But since I haven't heard of it, it should mean that everything is normal."

Empress Yin said softly to Xia Qingyang: "Didn't you say that the Tuochuan Kingdom purchased a large amount of grain from Dachun at a low price? The shortage of grain may also be part of the reason."

Xia Qingyang nodded slightly.

Ren Yi had told her about buying grain.

The problem is that it should have been nearly a year for Tuochuan Kingdom to purchase grain.What was purchased was also the grain reserves in the national treasury.

Although the taxation of the Dachun Kingdom has increased a bit in the past two years, the people will not suffer from famine to this extent.

"Xia...cough, Brother Qingyang thinks that the 'poor harvest' may be due to human factors?" Boss Ye was the most keenly aware of Xia Qingyang's meaning.

The businessman's sense of smell is very sensitive at this time.

Because the way of governing the country is sometimes the same as doing business.You can use bad moves to bring down your opponent.

Xia Qingyang: "I'm not sure, but if only Dachun Country's harvest is not good, there may be a problem."

"I'll check it out," Su Quan said immediately.

Seeing this, Boss Ye felt that he couldn't be lazy: "What about me? What's my next task?"

Xia Qingyang: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

With that said, several people came to the porridge stand.

"Here we come." He Minghua and Su Quan bumped their fists as a greeting, and then said to Xia Qingyang, "Look at the number of people, Lao Xu and the others don't have enough porridge, what should I do?"

In addition to He Minghua, Ren Yi also sent four of the seven guardians to set up a stall.

At this time, one of them was cooking porridge.

Lao Xu and Lao Zhou were busy serving porridge for the people.

Another person greeted the people who were queuing up and asked everyone to standardize the queuing.

Obviously not enough manpower.

It seems that Ren Yi didn't expect so many people to line up to get the porridge, so she asked Lao Xu and the others to prepare it like before.

"I didn't ask you to rent the courtyard in advance, where is it?"

Seeing this, Xia Qingyang turned to ask Su Quan such a question.

"Ah, it's not far from here, with two entrances and two exits." Su Quan thought this was the courtyard where Xia Qingyang was planning to live, so he introduced it.

Xia Qingyang, using the cover of his sleeves, took off his gloves, took off a storage ring, and stuffed it into Su Quan's hand.

Xia Qingyang didn't need any more explanation, Su Quan understood immediately.

This storage ring is full of rice, flour, grain and oil. In reality, if all these grains are taken out, it may be piled up like a hill.

What Su Quan had to do was to take out a part of it and put it in the yard.Then deliberately be seen, there is grain in this yard.

In this way, when the food is "stolen", it can appear more authentic and credible.

Sure enough, not long after, when Su Quan trotted over from a distance pushing a cart loaded with grain, the common people followed behind him, like they were surrounded by some treasure, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm.

"There's still plenty of food! There must be enough food!!" Somewhere far away, someone shouted at the queue here.
