Chapter 21 The Empress is furious and will be executed
Fang Xiu glanced at him and said, "What? You don't believe the truth?"

Zhao Youting hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't dare."

If you don't dare, it means you don't believe it.

In fact.

Among the civil and military officials, he is not the only one who does not believe.

But anyone who knew something about farming had great doubts about what Fang Xiu said.

After all, the figure of fifteen times is too exaggerated!
If it's just double or triple, they can still accept it.

Fang Xiu also knew.

If these people had not seen it with their own eyes, it would be impossible to believe that the yield of high-yield sweet potatoes can reach fifteen times that of rice.

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to convince these people.

The fact is that, whether they believe it or not, it doesn't make any sense!

He is the prime minister!It's the Minister of Fuguo!

Planting sweet potatoes is something he decides, and no one can change it!
Fang Xiu glanced at Zhao Youting, ignored him, but looked at the empress on the dragon chair, and said seriously: "Actually, I have been sending people to plant these sweet potatoes in Yunwu Mountain, and now they are quite large."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to order the household department to distribute the sweet potato seedlings planted by me to farmers and teach them how to plant them!"

In fact, those sweet potato seedlings were exchanged by him with emotional value two days ago.

At that time, it will be directly handed over to the household department, and no one can say anything.

There should be no one who is idle and has nothing to do, running all the way to Yunwu Mountain to see if there are any sweet potato seedlings.

"He actually started planting sweet potatoes a long time ago!"

"So, everything that happened today was within his expectations and planned by him?"

Wu Mingkong's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly felt that Fang Xiu had become more mysterious, more terrifying, and more elusive.

"He can grow sweet potatoes in Yunwu Mountain for a few years without being discovered by anyone, and he can definitely do other things without being noticed by anyone!"

"Perhaps behind some mountain there are his private soldiers hidden, and they will come to rebel against me as long as he gives an order!"

Wu Mingkong's mind turned rapidly.

One thought emerged in her mind.

All of a sudden, excitement, fear, anger, panic and many other emotions swept over her, making her dizzy again.

at the same time.

The system's cold notification sounded in Fang Xiu's mind.

[Emotion value +20000]

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, a little confused.

"Just let her make an order, why do you have such a big mood swing?"

Just as Fang Xiu was puzzled, the Empress' voice finally sounded.

"allow!"

Although only one word.

But revealing extremely firm.

Baiguan listened and understood instantly.

On this matter, Your Majesty and Prime Minister Fang have reached an agreement!
From this point of view, His Majesty will also make up his mind to deal with those grain merchants in Wu State.

Baiguan who wanted to dissuade him thought for a while, but finally chose to give up.

after all.

No matter how much money those grain merchants gave them, it was not worth the risk of their heads.

Today, this matter has been dragged back and forth for so long, and they have done their best.

At this time, Zhao Zhengrong, the Governor of Chang'an who was impeached just now, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, after today, how should I deal with those Wu State grain merchants?"

Hearing this question, Wu Mingkong thought for a while, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "How should Fang Xiang think it should be dealt with?"

Fang Xiu wanted to arrest these people.

How to deal with it, naturally ask for his opinion.

Fang Xiu's eyes showed a chill, and he said, "I think this matter should be dealt with fairly!"

"According to my general law, anyone who drives up the price of food and causes the price of food to increase by [-]% will be decisive!"

The voice fell.

All the officials were shocked.

More than 300 grain merchants, all of them decided?

If he really did this, and the news was sent back to Wu, how could the emperor of Wu give up!

Even if it was to appease Wu Shang's anger.

The emperor of Wu will definitely use this to attack the court!
At that time, wouldn't the imperial court be on the verge of riding a tiger?
You must know that although the state of Wu does not advocate military force like the state of Yan, it is still much stronger than the weak state of Qian in a real fight!
"Your Majesty! Never! Never!"

The censor who impeached Zhao Zhengrong before, was shocked when he heard Fang Xiu's words, and hurriedly stood up.

"After all, most of those grain merchants are from Wu people. How can the emperor of Wu state give up on using such a heavy code against them!"

"If this causes Wu Guo to fight each other, what should we do?"

On the side, a censor echoed: "What Zhang Yushi said is very true! If there are only one or two Wu merchants, it's okay to use this heavy code, but there are more than 300 Wu merchants involved in the incident."

"If there are so many people, if they are decisive, it will definitely arouse dissatisfaction from the Wu Kingdom."

"I also hope that Your Majesty will not act temporarily and intensify the conflict between the imperial court and the state of Wu."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The voice fell.

More than a dozen censors bowed together and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

On the dragon chair, Wu Mingkong looked at these censors and felt puzzled.

An unknown fire rose in my heart.

"It's not I who said to be executed! It's that traitor Fang Xiu!"

"It's what he said, but you are targeting me. Do you think I'm easier to bully than that traitor?"

[Emotion value +2000]

Wu Mingkong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "I think, why not!"

"Since those Wu State grain merchants dared to drive up grain prices to [-] to [-] percent, they should have expected such a day to come!"

"You keep saying, the emperor of Wu, the people of Wu, but you have thought about it again."

"If they are easily let go just because they are from Wu, how will the people of my Dagan think of me! How will they think of my Dagan court!"

When Wu Mingkong said this, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart. He jumped up from the dragon chair and said coldly:
"In my opinion, the weakness of the Qian country is not because I am not hardworking, nor is it because I am not brave, nor is it because my land is barren!"

"In the final analysis, it is the imperial court that is weak! The officials are weak!"

"A group of small grain merchants should have been executed according to the law!"

"I and Fang Xiang have to spend an entire hour or two on this matter, arguing with you adults."

"Even now, no consensus has been reached."

"Could it be that, in the eyes of your lords, I am not as good as a group of small grain merchants in the state of Wu, who have defended the laws of my ancestors and thousands of people with countless efforts and even their lives?"

When Wu Mingkong said this, he couldn't help but let out a sneer, his eyes full of sarcasm.

She always thought that the national traitor was Fang Xiu, the treacherous prime minister!

Get rid of Fang Xiu, the treacherous prime minister, and the country will be peaceful, prosperous and strong.

who ever thought.

When the critical moment came, it was Fang Xiu, the national thief, who stood with her.

However, the courtiers she thought she could trust were on the opposite side of her and the common people.

How ridiculous!

How sad!

Thinking of this, Wu Mingkong burst out with anger, and scolded sharply:
"I want to ask you, my lords!"

"My lords, are you pretending to be the imperial court of Daqian, or the imperial court of Wu Kingdom!"

This is extremely harsh.

All civil and military officials present, except Fang Xiu, all showed fear and knelt down.

"I am guilty!"

Wu Mingkong's icy eyes swept over them, although he felt puzzled, he was helpless.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

Wu Mingkong sat back on the dragon chair, waved his small hand, and said in an unquestionable voice:
"Just do what Fang Xiang said!"

"All imprisoned grain merchants will be executed!"
