Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 112 Power
But Wan Qian obviously didn't have this awareness. When he heard the butler's words, his heart suddenly hurt even more...

"Of course, the owner of this house has made a lot of contributions, far more than [-] shi of grain and [-] Yangzhou lean horses." The housekeeper said again, with a smile on his face.

Fangtang and others were immediately frightened.

In fact, they knew exactly what else was in this house.

It is precisely because of knowing that I am afraid.

"Several carts of gold, silver and jewellery, several boxes of real estate title deeds, several boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings..." the butler counted.

"These things are all ill-gotten gains. I have ordered the generals of the palace to take action and transport them back to the palace first. However, Governor Fang, the palace is only keeping them for safekeeping. How to deal with this batch of ill-gotten wealth still needs us. Let’s have a good discussion.”

"Yes, what the steward said is absolutely true!"

Fang Tang waved his sleeves and wiped his face, not sure whether it was to wipe away the rain or tears.

Hua Chaoshi did not show any abnormality, as if those belongings were not his.

Wan Qian's half-ton body swayed and he almost lost his balance.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng, the two sons-in-law, stood quietly aside without saying a word.

Being able to find [-] shi of food from here is the biggest harvest for them.

Looking at the embarrassing appearance of Fangtang and others——

Miserable and anxious, like a frightened bird!
It's also like a grasshopper being skewered and grilled, as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog.

As soon as he saw this, Zhu Xiuyuan felt relieved.

While he was feeling comfortable, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly remembered the direct reason why the butler "randomly raided this lair"——

The governor of Jiangzhou rejected his proposal!
Rejected the proposal of Poyang Palace!

hiss!
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but secretly take a breath of air.

He thought: "The power of Prince Poyang's Palace is indeed terrifying. Fangtang refused the proposal of Prince Poyang's Palace, so they raided his lair... Now Fangtang and the others are as panicked as a bereaved dog, all because they offended Poyang Prince's Palace... …very scary!"

While Zhu Xiuyuan was sighing, someone suddenly broke into the front hall, interrupting Zhu Xiuyuan's thoughts.

This is a state soldier.

Seeing so many important people present, the atmosphere was strange, and the state soldier was a little scared.

"Don't be nervous, just tell me, what's the matter with you?" Dong Cheng said.

"My lords, all the [-] shi of grain have been transported and deposited in the largest charity warehouse in the city." The state soldiers did not dare to talk nonsense.

"I know, you go down first." Dong Cheng waved.The state soldiers seemed to be fleeing and left this place.

At the same time, Zhu Xiuyuan walked to the middle of the front hall and stood side by side with Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Steward, now that one hundred thousand shi of grain has been transported, I would like to personally go to the charity warehouse in the city to ensure that one hundred thousand shi of grain has been safely stored."

"Alright, after you finish checking, go home and rest earlier, it's getting late now." The housekeeper nodded.

Dong Cheng raised his hand and said "yes".

Then he went out immediately.

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally followed Dong Cheng's footsteps.

When he was leaving, Zhu Xiuyuan said: "It's such a pity that I can't see with my own eyes what will happen to Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi and others, but it's still important to check the food."

……

Naturally, it is impossible for all five major warehouses in Jiangzhou to be crowded into Jiangzhou City.

The purpose of the imperial court's establishment of charity warehouses was to provide disaster relief and stabilize food prices.

Since it is for disaster relief, it is natural to be as close to the disaster area as possible so that it can be easily accessed nearby.

And Jiangzhou is so big, if the five major charity warehouses are all set up in Jiangzhou City, it will be convenient to be near Jiangzhou City, but it will not be very convenient in other prefectures and counties.

Therefore, among the four counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, Xunyang County, Duchang County, Pengze County, and Fuliang County, each county has a free warehouse.

There is only one charity warehouse in Jiangzhou City, and there are five charity warehouses in total.

Because the county seat of Xunyang County is also the prefectural city of Jiangzhou, there are two charity warehouses in Jiangzhou City.

Among them, the one set up alone in Zhoucheng is the largest.

Not only that, but it also stores food better.

All the [-] shi of grain harvested this time were sent here.

When Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan came here, they saw dozens of state soldiers stationed here, armed and under strict security, so big that even a mouse couldn't even get into the granary.

Dong Cheng was very pleased and said "good" several times loudly.

After encouraging the state soldiers stationed in the granary, he took Zhu Xiuyuan into the granary.
