During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Luo Tingye learned that Jiang Miao had gone to Leng Palace and guessed that she must have gone to the mysterious town. He didn't know if she had brought milk tea back for him.

The milk tea made by the palace chef also tastes good, but he still thinks the milk tea in the mysterious town is delicious.

Luo Tingye sighed, picked up the memorial and read it.

After reviewing it, I was left with three words: “I know.”

After reading four or five memorials in succession, Luo Tingye stood up and moved around twice.

At this time, Feng Jizhong walked in from outside the house, stepped forward and stepped back.

"What happened?" Luo Tingye asked.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Supervision Department came to report that King Yu Zhang had a secret meeting with Song Liyun outside the city."

"How did they get together?"

Feng Jizhong shook his head, "There are people guarding King Yuzhang, and the people from the Supervision Department dare not approach. However, the spies lurking in the Song family said that the Song patriarch recently intended to let Song Liyun and Sun Debao of the Sun family be together."

Luo Tingye frowned even more. Patriarch Song asked Song Liyun to marry Sun Debao. What did she want from King Yuzhang? Could King Yuzhang help her?

Or maybe King Yuzhang can marry her?

No, King Yuzhang is not that stupid. He must have something to ask for when meeting Song Liyun at this juncture.

"It would be great if people could keep an eye on Prince Yuzhang. It would be great if they could sneak into Prince Yuzhang's palace."

Although Xiao E did not confess King Yuzhang, there are various signs that King Yuzhang must have colluded with him.

In addition, he was also involved in the affairs of the palace, and even participated in Luo Jingce's departure from the capital.

It's a pity that his hands are too clean. The Supervision Department has been investigating for so long, but they haven't found any clues about him.

But his intuition told Luo Tingye that King Yuzhang must have a conspiracy.

Luo Tingye is not afraid of King Yuzhang's rebellion, but he doesn't want anything unexpected to happen at this time.

Feng Jizhong said: "The Yuzhang Palace does not accept new people. There were spies who sneaked in before, but they were found missing not long after. A few days later, the body was found in a mass grave. It seems that he had been tortured to extract a confession before his death."

"Song Liyun is looking for King Yuzhang. Since King Yuzhang is still willing to see her, there might be something ulterior between the two of them."

Feng Jizhong asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you mean to attack Song Liyun?"

"It is a way to know not only the affairs of the Song family, but also the purpose of King Yuzhang."

"Slave, go and inform the Supervision Department now."

Luo Tingye nodded.

Not long after, Feng Jizhong came back and brought a message, "Your Majesty, people from the Supervision Department found out that the Sun family will hire someone from the Song family in the future."

A glimmer of clarity flashed in Luo Tingye's eyes. Song Liyun would not marry Sun Debao, but she had no way to make Patriarch Song change his mind and could only resort to external forces.

King Yuzhang's power is not easy to borrow unless you have enough chips.

Luo Tingye's pen tip paused, and a drop of red ink fell, hitting the memorial. Looking at the smudged memorial, Luo Tingye's heart trembled.

"Have someone make a copy and bring it back."

"Yes."

The chamberlain took the fold to Zhongshu Sheren.

Feng Jizhong saw Luo Tingye staring at a certain place, stunned for a moment, then he brought some snacks with a smile, and said softly: "Don't let the Queen see His Majesty's appearance, otherwise the Queen might misunderstand that Your Majesty is pretending to be someone else. .”

Luo Tingye chuckled, "She just talks and doesn't think nonsense."

When it comes to Jiang Miao, Luo Tingye always has a smile on his face, and whenever he thinks of her, he becomes less troubled. Luo Tingye ate a snack and thought, when his father was here, King Yuzhang's status in the capital was second only to Luo Jingce. If he had the intention to seize the throne at that time, why would he deliberately ruin his reputation?

Could it be said that he was confident enough at that time?

And his father's instructions before his death, as if he already knew what King Yuzhang would definitely do.

Luo Tingye didn't waste too much time on this matter, Wu Shangshu came.

"Your Majesty, do you want to change the salt policy?"

Luo Tingye glanced at the sky. Today is Xiu Mu. Why don't you take it with you at home and talk about the salt policy?

In fact, Luo Tingye has long thought about changing the salt policy, even the salt price and salt tax.

However, a major reform cannot be completed in one day, and after investing so much in the early stage, there must be some reward.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shangshu was so anxious.

"Wu Shangshu, I remember today is Xiu Mu, why do you have time to enter the palace?"

You should have a good rest during the holidays. If he doesn't rest, others must also rest.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that you want to privatize the salt?"

Luo Tingye shuddered, "Don't worry, Wu Shangshu, I'm not that unkind. I know the reform of the salt policy well. The reason why I didn't mention it is that once the treasury is empty, I'm afraid the money I let Jiangnan make away will be lost." I’m not coming back, so I have to find a way to replenish the treasury.”

When Wu Shangshu learned that His Majesty did not want to take the sun salt for himself, he immediately felt relieved, "I know His Majesty's thoughts about the people, but His Majesty thinks so, which does not mean that others think so too."

Luo Tingye knew that he couldn't escape today.

"What Wu Shangshu said makes sense, but before the salt policy reform, someone needs to go to Jiangnan to sort out the bad policies."

Wu Shangshu looked at him, "Isn't your Majesty the king of Yi'an County?"

"What can he accomplish? Besides, he is still young and may not be a match for the Jiangnan Family. I need someone who is capable and courageous."

Wu Shangshu blurted out, "Sun Ming?"

Luo Tingye shook his head. "Sun Ming can't leave. He was hated by people in Jiangnan before. If he goes to Jiangnan, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything and his life will be in danger."

Wu Shangshu began to think deeply.

After a while, Wu Shangshu wrote: "Your Majesty, why don't you let King Yuzhang go?"

Luo Tingye: "..."

This is an unexpected choice.

Luo Tingye originally thought that Wu Shangshu would mention Jiang Qian.

Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that besides Sun Ming, the person he trusted the most was Jiang Qian, and Jiang Qian was a serious scholar and was more recognized than Sun Ming.

Luo Tingye had never considered King Yuzhang before, but now he is seriously considering it.

Wu Shangshu continued: "If King Yuzhang is willing to go, there is at least a 40% chance."

If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't even have a 40% chance.

Luo Tingye looked at Wu Shangshu and said, "Wu Shangshu, there are so many available people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Why did you choose King Yuzhang alone? I remember that his previous reputation was not very good."

Wu Shangshu was shocked and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I have no personal contact with King Yuzhang. The reason why I recommend King Yuzhang is because of the new wheat seeds."

"When the new wheat seeds were first discovered, His Majesty assigned King Yuzhang to go to Qingzhou to verify the situation. When King Yuzhang came back, he handed the Ministry of Household Affairs a report. It was not only clearly organized and had accurate data, but also provided detailed information on the new wheat seeds. The plan is also very appropriate.”
