Xian Shijun's question really frightened the third princess, her complexion changed again and again, and then she spoke with difficulty:

"Father, are you really interested in the position of imperial husband?"

This is the reason he can think of.

"That requires you to have the intention to fight for the throne, so that father can fight for this position."

Xian Shijun stared at his daughter for a moment and said.

"Don't! Father, I don't have such great ambitions. I just want to be a dandy princess and spend my life idle. Don't make things difficult for me. I can't beat the eldest sister and the second sister.

The eldest sister is highly regarded by the empress, and the second sister's father's family holds military power, so I have no capital to compete. "

The third princess waved her hand directly and said.

"You don't need to worry about these. As long as I sit in the position of the emperor's husband, there will naturally be courtiers who support you and become your support. Our current disadvantage will be our advantage in the future."

Xian Shijun still said unhurriedly.

"Father, even so, I don't want to be a puppet queen! I don't believe that these people will unconditionally support me to ascend to the throne. Just like what the empress said, the sky will not drop the pie in vain, and when it falls, it will not be in vain. It will definitely hit me.

The most important thing is that my daughter knows how important I am, and I don't have the ability to sit in that position. If I don't deserve the position, it will bring disaster to Fengqi. I don't want to be a subjugated empress. "

The third princess shook her head like a rattle, and she had very good reasons for her refusal. She was convincing her father not to participate in it, for fear that the worthy servant would insist on going her own way, and even the subjugated empress would come up with the matter.

But from another perspective, the third princess has a very clear understanding of herself. In her previous life, she was the empress of a subjugated country.

Only then did Xian Shijun show a relieved smile on his face, pursed his lips and said:
"It seems that you have a very clear understanding of yourself, so it's not in vain for me to be a bad person."

Only then did the third princess realize that this was her father's temptation to her.

"Father, don't scare me! I thought you wanted to be the emperor's husband. In this turmoil, this is not a good thing. Not to mention the ministers in the court, even the eldest sister and the second sister can tear you down."

The third princess wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, and said in a low voice.

"The imperial husband and Rong Shijun left one after another, and some people hit my head with their ideas, which annoyed me. Now that you are back, these people may become worse. I am afraid that you are not firm enough, and I am also afraid that those people are plotting You, that's why I want to confirm your thoughts."

Now that it has been said, Xian Shijun also put their situation on the bright side.

"I said that my father, who never fights or grabs, would say such a thing."

The third princess patted her chest, if her father insisted on going his own way, she would be the one who would be unlucky.

The conversation between the father and daughter reached Lianyi's ears not long after, and the dark guard disappeared again after reporting verbatim.

Lianyi smiled, she was never worried about the virtuous servant, but it was the third princess, but now it seems that she is not aggressive.

That being the case, Lianyi will naturally fulfill the wish of the youngest daughter, let her be a wealthy and idle person, and live happily.

After entering the winter, grain prices in various places have fluctuated, and there seems to be a tendency to increase prices. Unfortunately, within three days of the rise, the government released a batch of cheap rice grains in the name of the Queen, and posted a notice.

The notice stated that this is the Queen's sympathy for the people. Because of the poor harvest due to the disaster, everyone was exempted from half of the tax. At the same time, they also provided a batch of cheap rice so that the people can afford to buy food. After this winter, spring will begin. There will also be a batch of high-quality fine varieties that allow the common people to receive them on credit and pay them back during the next autumn harvest.

As soon as this notice came out, the people in the city rushed to tell each other, praising the empress for her kindness, and made those grain merchants who had hoarded grain and were about to make a fortune dumbfounded. They sold it at the usual price, let alone raising the price. Now very few people come to the door.

No one is stupid, why buy expensive ones when there are cheap ones, and when buying food released by the government, you have to bring the household registration of the family to buy it, so as to avoid repeated purchases, and they will not be able to fish in troubled waters.

"Don't be afraid, there will always be a day when the food will run out, let's wait."

A grain merchant said unwillingly.

Everyone looked at each other and planned to wait and see for a while before talking.

One day, two days, three days. Until one month later, not only did the grain not run out, but the variety increased. The grain merchants were dumbfounded and prepared to move to other cities to have a look. Unfortunately, before they left the city gate, they He was stopped by the government officials.

"You gang up to drive up the price of food, and you don't sell it to the people when you have food. You are regarded as profiteers. For the stability of Fengqi country, you will be temporarily detained. We will buy your food at a fair price and sell it to the people. The money will not I’m missing you, but you will not be welcome in Fengqi Kingdom in the future.”

The people around heard the angry voice of the female officer, and then they realized that this cart is full of grain. These profiteers don't sell them any grain in order to make money. Now they want to take the grain to other places to sell it price.

All of a sudden, broken stones and rotten mud greeted these people. If the yamen servants hadn't stopped them, the dung and water would have been poured over.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the government government weighed the grain on the spot, settled the money on the spot, and then drove these merchants and their entourage out of the city.

"Everyone, we paid for the food with silver. I advise you to leave after taking the money, so as not to be targeted by those who want to, and the money will not be kept."

The words of the yamen servant had a profound meaning, which made the hearts of the group jump, and they left the place of right and wrong immediately.

"Hmph! A bunch of idiots!"

The yamen servant spit at the backs of the fleeing merchants.

This kind of thing is happening in every city, but some businessmen are very knowledgeable about current affairs. As soon as the queen's notice came out, they immediately lowered the previously inflated food price. Although it is not a par price, it is also within the acceptable range of the common people. , after all, the price of high-quality rice is so high that the common people can understand it.

Some merchants who had received the news a long time ago, when other grain merchants raised their prices, they did not increase, and they still sold at the original price, and were boycotted by all merchants, but in the end such merchants got a good reputation instead. There are many, but there are also small profits.

And those who drive up the price of grain will be miserable, and they will pay instead of profit. After all, in order to get as much grain as possible in their hands, they paid a lot of money to buy it.

With such a rectification in Fengqi State, the trend of driving up grain prices was severely suppressed, and another crisis was overcome, and the governments also took advantage of this opportunity to buy back all the grain in the hands of the grain merchants, supplementing the supply of food due to The granary for disaster relief has been halved, and food and grass have been stored for the next spring's war.

The new emperor of Panlong Kingdom saw the merchants who were sent out to mess up the food price in Fengqi Country, and all of them came back dejectedly, and he was also thrown backwards in anger, with a hideous face, he threw them all out.

After the first rain in spring, Xuanwu Kingdom was the first to point its sword at Panlong Kingdom, under the banner of avenging his father.
