The next day, Daqian Palace.
In the Jinluan Palace.
The scouts quickly broke into the hall.
"Report!"
"The price of food in Qingshui City has dropped to eighty-two cents per dou, and Cui Zhuangyuan said that the price of food can drop another seven cents!"
Following the scout's words, all the officials were surprised for a moment, and then started talking about it, with no concealed praise in their words.
"Cui Zhuangyuan's talent is really admirable. In such a short period of time, the price of food in Qingshui City has dropped by a full eighteen cents, and it can even drop further. The greedy grain merchants have lowered the price without using terror. His methods have lost the majesty of the imperial court, and he is worthy of being the number one scholar!"
"I, Song Li, would like to ask your Majesty to reward Cui Xinghe, the supervisory censor!"
Among the ministers, Song Li stood up and his voice echoed throughout the Jinluan Palace.
In his mind, the outcome of this competition was destined from the beginning, and the rest depended on Cui Xinghe's methods in Qingshui City.
But Cui Xinghe lived up to his reputation as the number one scholar. In less than seven days, he curbed the rising food prices in Qingshui City and even reduced them by eighteen cents.
These methods are destined to lead him to heaven!
When he returns to Beijing, he will definitely be a popular figure in Chang'an.
Therefore, Song Li didn't mind selling him a favor, and the relationship became deeper after the officialdom came and went.
Not to mention, in his heart, Cui Xinghe is already the son-in-law of the Song family!
Of all the ministers present, none of them were human beings. Naturally, they quickly understood the stakes.
Wang Zhong also stood up and said, "Businessmen value profits, and it is common for the country to struggle to make money during disaster years."
"But Cui Zhuangyuan stabilized the price of food in Qingshui City in just seven days. These methods are simply amazing. I will also ask Your Majesty to set Cui Zhuangyuan as a model for officials everywhere to learn from!"
For a time, ministers stood up one after another.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
On the dragon chair.
Wu Zhao was wearing a golden dragon robe, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable nobility.
She was also a little surprised.
This Cui Xinghe is really not mediocre. In just seven days, he not only stabilized the rising food prices, but also reduced them by eighteen cents.
This person can be reused.
At this time, Wang Zhong asked curiously, "Qingshui City is only a few dozen miles away from Linjiang City. The price of food in Qingshui City is as low as 82 Wen. I wonder what the price of food in Linjiang City is?"
Prime Minister Xu Xuanji said in a deep voice, "The news about Qingshui City has arrived, and I think the news about food prices in Linjiang City will also arrive soon."
Gao Feng looked solemn.
The seven-day period has come. If Gao Yang fails to bring the price of food in Linjiang City down to a stable level, then today will be in danger.
Especially Cui Xinghe handed in a perfect answer sheet.
This pressure even came to the Duke Dingguo's mansion.
If Gao Yang doesn't do a good job, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do business.
Behind this, it is no longer just a simple competition.
"Report!"
"The latest news on grain prices in Linjiang City. The price of grain in Linjiang City has exceeded 200 cents per dou, and the people are complaining. Du Jiang, the magistrate of Linjiang County, has sent a second urgent report to impeach the censor Gao Yang!"
Another scout rushed into the Jinluan Palace.
As soon as this statement came out.
The entire Jinluan Palace instantly stirred up a storm, and everyone looked at the scouts with horrified expressions.
Even Wu Zhao was shocked.
She said in disbelief, "The price of food in Linjiang City has exceeded two hundred cents per dou?"
"The news is confirmed correct?!"
The scout nodded, and his voice swept through the Jinluan Palace, "Your Majesty, the news is absolutely correct. In the past seven days, the price of food in Linjiang City has been skyrocketing!"
"Furthermore, this was news two days ago. The price of food in Linjiang City may be higher now..."
As soon as these words came out.
Wu Zhao's face turned even darker.
She clenched her fists and looked angry.
She trusted Gao Yang so much that she even suppressed all discussions in the court for him and delegated power to him.
But Gao Yang betrayed her trust like this!
She could predict the price of food at two hundred cents per dou and the anger of the people in Linjiang City!
That is absolutely overwhelming anger!
Gao Feng was also shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What happened to this evil beast?
As promised, the young eagle will eventually spread its wings, soar in the sky, and shoulder the heavy burden of the Dingguo Palace?
Good guy, the price of food has exceeded 200 cents per dou. This is to send the entire Duke Dingguo to the guillotine!
Gao Feng's expression changed.
At this time, the scout added, "Not only that, Magistrate Du impeached Gao Yushi not only for not lowering the price of food, but also for burning incense, worshiping Buddha, and taking boats for fun every day!"
"When the people suffered such a great disaster, Gao Yushi wanted to order the county government office to be renovated.
A grand dragon boat race will be held on the Qingshui River!"
"Mr. Du was deeply distressed and ordered an urgent report of 800 miles to His Majesty!"
With these words, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
The world was in great disaster, and you raised the grain price in Linjiang City to a sky-high price.
You actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to use the victims to rebuild the government office and hold a large-scale event?
Yan Zheng was so angry that he trembled when he heard this, and his pair of gray beards were shaking.
"Ridiculous!"
"I have been in politics for 30 years and have never seen such a ridiculous person. Is he thinking that the world is in great disaster and the people can't afford to eat, so he renovated the government office at a low price?"
"How can I tolerate such a treacherous person! "
Yan Zheng was furious.
Song Li and Wang Zhong had never expected Gao Yang to be so incompetent. Not only did they raise the price of grain, but they also had to renovate the county government office and hold large-scale events during this disaster year!
Song Li shook his head contemptuously.
Ordering Song Qingqing to go to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to cancel the engagement would be the most wise decision for the entire Song family.
Song Li stood up and said, "I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the grandson of the Duke of Dingguo and calm the public anger!"
Wang Zhong immediately followed, saying, "I second the motion!"
Yan Zheng: "I second the motion! "
For a moment, the entire Jinluan Palace was filled with the voices of the officials echoing.
Wu Zhao's beautiful face was full of coldness, and she said nothing.
She firmly believed in her intuition that Gao Yang was definitely not that stupid.
Even the most dandy son of a general in Chang'an would not be so stupid to use these methods!
He must have his own purpose.
But now, even if she is the Queen of Daqian, she feels great pressure!
Gao Feng's face also sank.
During the years of great disasters, the people were oppressed to rebuild the county government and hold large-scale events. This really wants to take the whole family of Duke Dingguo away with him.
This evil beast, I must beat him to death when I come back!
But now, he still has to stand up.
It’s not okay for these bastards to kick him when he’s down.
I don’t know if he can bear it.
Gao Feng gritted his teeth and was about to stand up.
But outside the Jinluan Palace, an old man wearing mottled armor and looking majestic without anger appeared.
Swish!
Almost in an instant, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court fell on the newcomer, and then their faces changed drastically.
"Duke Dingguo!" Someone exclaimed.
Gao Tianlong walked straight into the hall.
Duke Dingguo has the privilege of entering the palace at any time and does not need to kneel when attending court!
Gao Tianlong came to the center of the hall and bowed slightly to Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, Gao Tianlong pays homage to Your Majesty!"
Wu Zhao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Duke Dingguo, please come forward. "
Gao Tianlong looked at the entire Jinluan Palace, and then said lightly, "I came here for only one purpose."
"Whether it is the skyrocketing grain prices or the reconstruction of the government office, these are all news from Linjiang City two days ago. Why are you in a hurry?"
"In two or three days, Linjiang City will not be in chaos. Can you wait for two or three more days?"
The light voice, with unquestionable pressure, was clearly transmitted to the ears of all the ministers present.
After Gao Tianlong's voice fell, the ministers were silent.
Even Wang Zhong, who had always been at odds with the Dingguo Mansion, rarely spoke.
As long as the Dingguo Duke, the head of the six great dukes of Daqian, is alive, the whole Daqian should give him some face!
