Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 217;
"You are a child with a plan, and your grandfather is very reassuring about you."

"But you have to remember, don't take it lightly."

For Lu Yaoyao, the granddaughter, Mr. Lu didn't have much contact with him, but he got along with him during the current period.

This granddaughter is a very good and capable child.

Among the many children of the Lu family, she was the number one leader back then, even compared to the older generation like them.

"Yaoyao knows, grandpa don't worry."

Lu Yaoyao smiled.

The old man Lu on the opposite side also smiled and continued; "Your uncle also told me about you saying that you would wait until autumn and then go back to Jiangdong together."

"This idea is very good. I have already studied the book and asked your three grandparents to start handling some industries there."

"So when we go back, we don't need to spend too much time."

Now in the capital, they still have business to take care of.

The perfume business is all in charge of their family, and the Dachang Princess's mansion is just a name.

The wine business is managed by the Su family, but he knows that Lu Yaoyao is still preparing to make soap, so he can't leave here for too long.

And just a few days ago, Mr. Lu had a discussion with his family and planned to continue his old business here.

After all, their Lu family started their business in this way, and they know the most and are most familiar with the same, so it is impossible to just throw it away.

"Well, grandpa can arrange it."

Then the grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time, mainly because of the old man.

He expressed some of his development ideas.

Lu Yaoyao supports his plan to continue doing grain business here. After all, the Lu family is familiar with this area, and she also has a lot of things in her hands, so it will be of great help to them. help.

at the same time.

At today's court meeting, the atmosphere was also very serious.

As soon as he came to the court, some ministers stood up and expressed their opposition to the court's wanton purchase of wheat.

He also suggested that Emperor Hongwen should seize the time to talk to the aristocratic family and buy grain from them.

Regarding this, Emperor Hongwen didn't say a word, and Wen Songtao, as his confidant minister, naturally had to end at this time.

Regarding the matter of wheat flour, Wen Songtao also spoke out bluntly.

At first, everyone was in an uproar, but soon they couldn't believe it.

There was a lot of noise, and finally Emperor Hongwen himself said that he had seen it and tasted it, and all the ministers stopped.

But the matter of wheat flour still chills the hearts of those officials with aristocratic backgrounds.

If the wheat flour is really good as Emperor Hongwen said, then those aristocratic families who bought grain at a high price and hoarded it to make a fortune may suffer a lot this time.

Standing at the front, Gao Yanming's complexion was as dark as ink.

You must know that it was he who proposed the idea of ​​delaying time and putting pressure on Emperor Hongwen this time, and now the wheat flour is coming out.

All the big families will lose a lot of money, and he knows very well that once this news reaches the ears of those family managers, they will definitely be dissatisfied with him.

On the dragon seat, Emperor Hongwen looked at Gao Yanming's increasingly dark complexion, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth, and coldness gathered in his eyes.

"The matter of disaster relief food, that's it, there is no need to discuss it again."

"I have a memorial here, all ministers, please listen to it."

As he spoke, he picked up a memorial and handed it to Wang De for him to read.

Wang De, who took the memorial, just glanced at it, and his whole body trembled, wondering if His Majesty is going to kill the Gao family?
The ministers below were quite surprised when they saw this scene. What exactly is this memorial written about?
However, when Wang De read the memorial, everyone was in an uproar.

Gao Yanming, who was standing at the front, raised his head with an expression of disbelief. In just a split second, his originally dark face turned pale.

"Impossible, Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, the ministers have not received the news."

As soon as Wang De's voice fell, a minister jumped out immediately.

Seeing the minister who spoke, Emperor Hongwen's eyes turned cold.

Before the Lord could speak, a young man jumped out first.

Very good, I will remember you.

He just glanced at the minister who was speaking, and then his eyes fell on Gao Yanming.

"Gao Xiang, do you have something to say?"

"The minister was wronged, it must be someone who framed the minister, please Your Majesty to investigate clearly."

Gao Yanming hurriedly came out and knelt down to Emperor Hongwen. At this time, he still had the momentum to put pressure on Emperor Hongwen with food in the imperial study that day.

The writing of this memorial is really too terrifying.

If everything is true, then the beheading and exile of the entire Gao family would be considered trivial, and if one fails, the entire family will be wiped out.

According to the memorial, a large-scale civil uprising occurred in Jinyang.

Gao Changxing, the governor of the Jinyang Mansion, and Cao Dong, the other leader, filled their private pockets all the year round, resulting in no food in the official warehouses of the Jinyang Mansion. When the drought came, the government had no food available.

Worried that the matter would spread, the two mobilized officers and soldiers to blockade all the passes in the Jinyang Mansion, and anyone who was found trying to escape would be killed without mercy.

Later, he asked the imperial court for disaster relief, and Gao Yanming started to handle it.

Disaster relief food is decentralized, but Gao Changxing and Cao Dong see the price of food soaring, and they are greedy, but the people are still alive.

The official warehouse was designed to catch fire, but the food used for disaster relief was transported to Gao's ancestral land in advance.

Then sell it at a high price to the common people in Jinyang.

In just over half a month, all the money and land in the hands of the people of Jinyang went into the hands of Gao Changxing, Cao Dong, and the Gao family.

The people of Jinyang who have no money and no food are miserable, and the incident of changing children to eat, which has not happened for many years, is frequently staged in various parts of Jinyang Mansion.

Seven days ago, it was revealed that Gao Changxing and Cao Dong cheated and stole relief food.

The entire Jinyang was in an uproar, angry people attacked the Jinyang Mansion, the governor and Bie Jia mobilized officers and soldiers to suppress it, and a big war broke out.

[-] officers and soldiers in Jinyang went through this battle, more than [-] people were killed and injured, and more than [-] civilians were killed or injured.

Don't drive Cao Dong to be seriously injured in the riot.

Gao Changxing saw that things were getting serious, so he wanted Cao Dong to be convicted and control his wife and children.

However, Cao Dong had planned for a long time, and secretly hid a lot of evidence of his dealings with Gao Changxing and the Gao family.

When he was dying, he sent this memorial and some evidence out of Jinyang Mansion.

"Wronged, framed?"

"You still have the face to say such a thing?"

Emperor Hongwen was suddenly furious, grabbed the white jade paperweight on the dragon table and threw it down.

"Your handwritten letter, and the account books of Jinyang Mansion's transactions with your Gao family are all placed in front of me, and you still say that you have been wronged?"

"Changing sons to eat, tens of thousands of casualties, but you only wronged me?"

"Then what about the people of Jinyang Mansion? Do they deserve to be harmed by your Gao family's blood sucking?"

The ministers below saw this scene and knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Emperor Hongwen's chest heaved continuously, and he stared coldly at Gao Yanming who was kneeling there.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter. Gao Changxing did write a letter to me, asking me to help me mobilize food to Jinyang for disaster relief."

"I always thought that Jinyang's situation was not good, so I arranged for the food to go there. I really never knew that Gao Changxing and Cao Dong were so bold to swallow the relief food."
