Your Majesty, Your Majesty has ascended the throne!

Chapter 299 Intercepting Tax Grains

Xie Bi heard the meaning of Yan Rujin's words.

"Miss Yan, whether you believe it or not, I did not hide it."

He clasped his fists slightly as he spoke: "Please don't worry, Miss Yan. I will find a solution for the bedding and other daily needs."

Listen, it's official.

"Then wait, after His Highness has taken care of the people's bedding and daily needs, I will take care of the food."

Upon hearing this, Xie Bi obviously looked a little flustered.

"You have also seen that so many children are still suffering from cold and hunger!"

"Don't talk to me about this! People pay taxes every year, and these are problems that should be solved by your court. What's more, you are a prince, and you don't have the blood and sweat of the people to pay for your food and clothing. Is it okay to kidnap me here? "

Xie Bi himself panicked.

"I'm sorry, I was just impatient. I didn't mean to accuse you!"

"Ha!" Yan Rujin crossed her arms and sneered.

In fact, he also had difficulties, but looking at Yan Rujin's face.

He said slightly: "It's not that I'm trying to make a fool of myself or anything else. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, the price of food in Haojing had risen five times. Even so, do you know how much official food reserves Haojing still has now? "

In the previous life, Yan Rujin was clear about Haojing's grain harvesting: "Normally, Haojing's official grain reserve starts at least ten years ago, including eight granaries, with at least 30 years of grain reserves."

She was talking about the food in the city, not counting the Wansuiwu built secretly by the Jin State outside the city, and the food for 50 years was not included.

Xie Bi was not surprised to hear that she understood so well.

Instead, he sighed and shook his head: "Hao Jing's official rations, even with the royal rations, are not enough to last for two years!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Rujin immediately made a calculation: "No way, this year is still a good year, how can there be no food in Haojing?"

"Looking at the autumn harvest, we can only hope that it will be harvested this year!" Xie Bi's face was gloomy.

Immediately, Yan Rujin counted the days: "Looking at it, several states in the capital will soon send this autumn's tax grain."

"You mean to intercept the tax grain?"

Yan Rujin's eyes narrowed: "It's not impossible!"

"Do you know what that crime is?"

"Sometimes I also think, we just use our own things to help the people, but who knows? We cut off the tax and grain, and it exploded. Similarly, we can also find out by the way, the person who stole the country's land. Food rat!"

"Okay, I will do this! However, I still need your help to provide food for these few days."

As Xie Bi spoke, he did not forget to explain to Yan Rujin: "It is difficult to get the bedding from the city. I plan to start from the city defense camp. First mobilize military resources."

Seeing his little thoughts: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Yong is really smart and can draw inferences from one case to another."

After saying that, she opened the lid of the small firework at her waist. Not long after, a beam of fiery red light came out and quickly exploded high in the sky.

She had thought that there would be a food shortage, but she absolutely underestimated the bottom line of those beasts.

Xie Bi looked at the fireworks: "Thank you, Miss Yan."

Yan Rujin ignored him and went to find her senior brother.

Now the entire Jade Buddha Temple is short of manpower.

After asking about his needs, Yan Rujin came to the place where she had just set off the fireworks.

Not long after, a group of skilled men in black came from all directions.

There were about dozens of people arranged neatly together.

As soon as they saw Yan Rujin, they all knelt down: "Master of the Cave!"

"Get up!"

As Yan Rujin spoke, she walked up to the leading masked woman, stretched out her arm, and grabbed her shoulder.

"Are you okay sisters?"

"Everything has been transferred, cave master, please rest assured."

Yan Rujin nodded slightly and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve. "Help me prepare three days of rations. In addition, gather some more people to prepare. We will meet here in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

……

After half an hour.

In the forest not far outside the gate of the Emerald Buddha Temple, dozens of people were lined up neatly.

Most of these people are elites and dead soldiers who were previously transferred from Zheyan Cave.

"Miss Yan, what are you going to do?" Mo Shi's face was filled with confusion.

Yan Rujin did not explain, and threw the small fireworks to Tao Zi: "You will take them for a while, be careful not to alert the snake!"

"Okay!" My lady had given her instructions before she came, and she naturally obeyed Yan Rujin's words.

Yan Rujin didn't say much, but just gave a few more instructions.

Seeing Tao Zi leaving with Mo Shi, she turned around to help build the shed.

Now she has seen the situation in the city. The imperial court is determined not to care about the sick people.

If they really want to solve this epidemic and famine, then the best way is to cut off the tax revenue of the metropolitan area.

In this way, we can not only draw out the people who are secretly causing trouble, but also help the people as much as possible.

But it is not easy to do this. Although she is not afraid of trouble, she is not happy to involve herself in it for no reason.

Therefore, she had to pull Xie into the water, and at least there were royal people in front of her to support her.

……

at the same time.

A checkpoint near the border of Hogyeong in Doki Province.

Grain trucks filled with rice were lined up neatly. Some of the officials responsible for escorting them were waiting in full formation, while others were sitting on the trucks to rest their legs.

The captain in charge of grain inspection looked at the rice in front of him: "Where did this grain come from?"

"Report to the captain! We are tax grains shipped from Guanzhou, Gyeonggi Province!" After saying that, a pawn escorting the transport quickly raised a booklet.

"Is there any tax subsidy?" The captain still didn't let go.

"Yes!" the pawn said and handed over the booklet.

The captain took the book and looked through it: "What a pity, I can't stamp your seal!"

"Yes!" The pawn responded quickly.

But just after he responded, the pawn was obviously taken aback.

"Lord Captain, didn't we get a seal here in previous years so we could pass by?"

Just as he was talking, Mo Shi and Tao Zi walked forward.

"It's the same as in previous years, but this year the food is delivered here!"

The pawn clearly sensed something was wrong and tried his best to smile while retreating.

Upon seeing this, Taozi immediately blocked his escape route.

When he saw the shining golden pumpkin hammer being carried by a little girl in one hand, the soldier knew the current affairs very well.

He quickly turned around and presented the tax stamp in his hand to Mo Shi.

"May I ask where your lord is on duty?" He tried his best to put on a smile and try his best to please.

He was thinking that Mo Shi would naturally know where he was working so that he could complain to the superiors later.

"Listen carefully, my master is the seventh son of the emperor, King Yong. If you want to sue, go now." Mo Shi snatched the tax stamp from his hand and made way for him.

The soldier quickly refused with a smile: "How can this be done? Sir, where are these grains going to be sent? Is there anyone I can help with?"

As he said that, he rolled his shrewd eyes and hurriedly volunteered: "If not, how about letting us brothers help you deliver the food? This will save you the trouble, okay?"
