Gu Jiu took a sip of the honey water and smiled slightly, I'm just a woman with long hair and short knowledge. I'm very satisfied with my life now, and I don't want Liu Zhao to return to court.

cough cough...

The Shaofu family order coughed several times.

He didn't expect that Gu Jiu would join his army.

The conditions were all set out, but Gu Jiu still didn't let go.

His beard trembled and trembled, he was so heartbroken!

Gu Jiu laughed, The old ancestor drank tea, and the court's errands were endless. Besides, His Majesty didn't insist on you solving the food problem. It's an errand for the Ministry of Households, so how can the Shaofu rush ahead.

The Shaofu family order laughed at himself, It is the old man who wants to relieve His Majesty's worries.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, But His Majesty may not want you to help him share his worries.

Shaofu Jialing frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of these words.

He was full of doubts, Xiao Jiu, you see that the old man is so old, he can't move as fast as you young people. What do you think, can you tell the old man directly?

Gu Jiu tapped lightly on the table.

After deliberating for a moment, she said: To tell you the truth, the court will receive the news in a few days. What you are most worried about has already happened. For the court, it will be worse.

What are you most worried about?

Of course, someone raised his arms and took the opportunity to rebel.

The complexion of Shaofu Jialing changed, It really happened?

Gu Jiu nodded, The caravans of the Four Seas Trading Company run all over the world, and they have better information than others. In addition, the government deliberately concealed the news and did not send out the news in time. Of course, I knew the news before Chaotang.

When did it happen? The court didn't hear any movement. The Shaofu's order asked eagerly.

Gu Jiu didn't hide it either, What happened 20 days ago, and it happened in more than one place. Several places raised their flags to rebel one after another. A group of mobs, but with a small amount of elite weapons, are overwhelming. By the way, the latest news is that a county town was captured , inside and outside, coupled with siege equipment, it's menacing!

What? Even siege equipment, and elite weapons?

The Shaofu family was taken aback.

siege engine,

Just like the heavy weapons of later generations, rockets and missiles belong to large-scale attack weapons.

Anyone but the military possessing these weapons is rebellion.

The siege equipment seems to be very simple, but in fact it contains a lot of technology.

A group of mud-legged people rebelled by relying on kitchen knives, machetes and hoes. They don't even have a decent sword, so they can make sharp siege tools anywhere.

The Shaofu Jialing asked eagerly: Is this news true?

Gu Jiu nodded, It's absolutely true!

No! It's not right here. This is no ordinary call to kill officials and rebel.

The family order of Shaofu, who lived to a rare age, immediately grasped the key to the matter.

A rebel army with siege equipment and elite weapons is by no means an ordinary rebellion.

This is obviously well prepared, some people took advantage of the chaos and started to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Shaofu family order anxiously asked: Who rebelled?

The clan of this dynasty cannot go out of Beijing without purpose.

In order to save the treasury and prevent the clan from harming the local area, the titles of the clan are all false and not sealed.

That is to say, there is no fiefdom.

To rebel, one must have money, people, soldiers, weapons, and territory.

In the past, the clans were all sealed and had fiefdoms.

In those years, when there was a rebellion, the clan was the first to be suspected.

The clan is also the most severely suppressed group.

However, none of the current clans have enfeoffed land, and they all live in the capital to eat the imperial food. It should not be the clan's rebellion.

Was it some local official who rebelled? Or some general who rebelled?

Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, The news from below shows that officials were murdered and rebelled successively in Jiangling Mansion, Jizhou, and Hongzhou. These places have not experienced peace in recent years, and the disaster is very serious, and because of the large population, it is very easy to trigger a disaster. Civil uprising.

In just a short time, a single spark has already started a prairie fire. However, the government below did not want to solve the problem, but suppressed the news and refused to report it in time. As a result, the best time to extinguish the spark was missed. However, the news is on the way now, and the court will soon learn of the situation.

Who is rebelling? The Shaofu Jialing was very old and anxious. But Gu Jiu said so much, but refused to say who rebelled.

Gu Jiu took a sip of honey water, It wasn't the court officials, nor the court generals who rebelled. Excuse me, I have limited information and don't know exactly who rebelled. I only know that the thieves in Jiangling Mansion spread the news that the late emperor won the throne. It's not right, killing brothers and fathers. Your Majesty's rebellious ministers and thieves will be punished if everyone gets it. If the names of Liu's father and son are not right, it will not be right.

The Shaofu's family ordered Ah.

This, this, this...

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the way of clan rebellion.

But the clan is all in the capital.

It can't be Liu Zhao's rebellion.

Gu Jiu sneered, The old ancestor really knows how to joke. Liu Zhao is a serious prince, and it's not his turn to rebel whoever rebels.

Although Liu Zhao was born rebellious, but his identity is the prince, he can use political means to inherit the throne in a legitimate way.

There is no point in rebelling, ruining one's own reputation, and getting a bad reputation.

The Shaofu family order was anxious, No, I must inform His Majesty of this news in time.

Gu Jiu's face darkened, and he said unhappily: Is the old ancestor trying to harm me? My news is faster than the imperial post, and it's not a day or two, at least five or six days sooner. Let Your Majesty know, Your Majesty What will happen to me?

I trusted my ancestors, so I told them the truth. My ancestor betrayed me to His Majesty backhandedly, so our cooperation can only end here. What food, what imperial court, all get out!

The Shaofu's family order was full of regrets, It's the old man who was confused and worried, and forgot about your situation. But such a big matter, do you want the old man to hide it from His Majesty?

Gu Jiu lowered his voice and whispered: The ancestors can send people to the south to inquire. I believe that people in the states along the way have already got the news. I also believe that I am not the only one who knows about it. There must be other people in the capital who got the news earlier.

Especially those high-ranking officials and dignitaries whose ancestral home is in Jiangling, Jizhou and other places, with aristocratic families. Their news is very well-informed. The soaring food prices in the capital are fueled by these people behind the scenes. Apparently they got the news a long time ago, and started speculating on the grain price in the capital early.

The Shaofu family order nodded again and again, what he said made sense.

The old man knows what to do. The old man will find another source of news, and he will definitely get rid of you. It's just about the food, and you need to help solve it.

Gu Jiu laughed, Don't worry about the food issue, the ancestors will confirm the news first. When the news of the rebellion spreads throughout the court, it will not be too late for us to discuss this issue.

The Shaofu family order was puzzled, so he asked straight to the point: What are your plans? What do you want to do?

It's not what I want to do? It depends on what His Majesty intends to do. It's time for His Majesty's confidant generals to be released from the capital to practice.

Gu Jiu looked at the Shaofu family order with a smile, and the smile was full of deep meaning.

Because she was more informed than others, it was obvious that she and Liu Zhao had already planned everything. Everything went according to plan step by step.

The Shaofu's family commander knew it well, and he couldn't ask the truth.

Forget it, he just made a pawn and followed Gu Jiu's arrangement.

Do not seek meritorious service, but seek reactive power.

If you can persuade Gu Jiu to save people with food, it will be a great achievement.

After sending away the Shaofu family order, Gu Jiu did not leave in a hurry.

She looked at Xinmin County, where singing and dancing were flourishing, and asked Zhao Minfa, her servant, When will your master come back?

Zhao Minfa's master is Deng Cunli.

Zhao Minfa bowed and said, Madam Qi, the last time we communicated, the master was still arguing with General Pei in the northwest.

Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.

Xiliang business has been full of all kinds of nonsense from the very beginning.

Xu Yousi was able to manage the warehouse well, but he was incapable of dealing with the treacherous father and son Luhou Peimeng.

Luhou Peimeng, father and son, are simply the kings of cheating kings, and if they are not careful, they will be tricked by them.

There was no other way but to let Deng Cunli deal with the father and son.

Deng Cunli initially presided over the overall situation in the Northwest, and now he returns to the Northwest to preside over the overall situation, which is very suitable.

As for Qian Fu, he was sent out by Liu Zhao when he returned from Xiliang in the fifth year of Wende.

So far this year, no one has been seen.

It is estimated that they are in the area of ​​Jiangling Mansion, looking for news about the rebels.

The situation in the capital has changed too quickly, and many plans need to be reworked. Gu Jiu had no choice but to call Deng Cunli back to the capital to discuss.

Some things can only be explained in person.

Letters have not always been so convenient.

Gu Jiu told Zhao Minfa, Contact Zhou Miao, Eunuch Zhou, I hope he can make a move.

Zhao Minfa bowed to accept the order, and said another matter, Director Chen sent someone to ask Madam, should the butcher shops and grain and oil shops under Sihai follow the market and raise prices accordingly? Now there are no grain and oil shops in the capital except Sihai. No price increase.

Gu Jiu tapped the table lightly, The price can be raised, but not too much. The purchase price below should also be raised appropriately. In order to prevent people from hoarding grain, all grain and oil stores under the Four Seas Group have implemented purchase restrictions.

For other grain and oil merchants who have cooperative relations, Mrs. Ben hopes that they will also implement purchase restrictions. As long as they are willing to support my wife, my wife will be rewarded generously in the future. Don't forget to tell Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci also, lest the Zhu family think that Mrs. Ben is crowding out their Zhu family.

In fact, Gu Jiu was trying to squeeze out the Zhu family.

In order to suppress the Zhu family's business territory these years, Gu Jiu has been worrying a lot.

I obey! Madam, do you have any other orders?

Any news from the south?

Zhao Minfa shook his head, The news about Eunuch Rong was last year's mid-autumn festival. If you count the time, he might have returned. Do you want to send someone to remind you?

Hurry up! All the relief food can be counted on them.
