Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 864 Arrival and Investigation
On the way, the convoy had already encountered several batches of refugees. Yinzhen looked at those people, his face slowly darkened. Many guards pretended to be businessmen's servants and went to the refugee group to inquire about news.

When the refugees heard that they were going to the shop in Zhili with jet lag, they basically showed helplessness and intolerance. They told the guards that if it is a shop under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the princes, it should be fine. If it is another shop, leave as soon as possible. Go, no profit at all.

Erlu had already reported the summarized news to Yinzhen, and Yinzhen's expression was very ugly, as if something had poked his lung duct.

Snapped!
Yinzhen threw the folder on the kang table again, and pointed to Shu Yun, asking her to read it together.

Shu Yun quickly shook his head: "These are all matters of the previous court. If you read them, the people behind you may say what."

"I told you to watch it." Yinzhen said directly.

Shu Yun reached out and took the booklet, quickly reviewed it, and found that the shops mentioned in it were all the shops that the princes showed up to, but Shu Yun's shop was not in it. Yinzhen's loss was considered the biggest, Lian Yinzhen Two-thirds of the stores were hidden, and all of them were lost.

"No wonder, Lord Jiu insisted on coming here. In such a situation, I have to say, it will be a big loss." Shu Yun shook his head and said.

Yinzhen sneered: "I think these people are getting bolder."

"Master, don't be angry. We can only know who is at fault when we see the specific situation after we pass by. It is not because those people will convict these governors just because they say a word. Didn't Long Live Lord remind you?" , it must be evidence." Shu Yun quickly persuaded.

After the words fell, Yinzhen took two deep breaths of air-conditioning, and the words Kangxi explained slowly came to mind, what Shu Yun said was correct.

"Master, let's go to the store first. I don't think there will be much loss. The Yuelai Inn is in the most central area, where dignitaries and dignitaries gather, so there will definitely be no problem." Shu Yun persuaded Yin Zhen.

"No, let's find out the situation first." Yinzhen looked ahead, the carriage had slowly entered the commercial street, which used to be the most prosperous place in Zhili, but now it is extremely depressed.

On both sides of the street, there are only some rich merchants' carriages, and the common people basically don't go out.

"Master, I don't think the situation of the rich merchants has been affected in any way, and the common people probably cannot accept the prices here." Shu Yun was anxious, and said a new word directly.

"Price?!" Yinzhen looked at Shu Yun and asked.

Before, Shu Yun would often say two or three new words, but after having children, Shu Yun gradually changed this habit.

"That's right, it's the price of living. For example, the price of shopping and eating is more expensive than before. People can't afford it, so of course they will leave here." Shu Yun explained.

The refugees went to the neighboring county towns. Seeing this situation, the prefects will definitely report it to Kangxi.

After hearing what Shu Yun said, Yinzhen gradually regained his composure.

"Master, we've already arrived at the commercial street. If we have another cup of tea, we'll be at the Yuelai Inn. Jiu Ye said that he will go to his own shop. If there are any special circumstances, he will come back after dinner." It's gone." Su Peisheng told Yinzhen directly where he was at the shaft of the chariot.

There have been a lot of teacups dropped by Yinzhen. Three or four shops in the commercial street have been closed. There is also a grain store that has been selling cheap grain to the common people because of its insistence on conscientious prices, hindering internal affairs. The interests of royal merchants and salt merchants were robbed by people pretending to be refugees.

Now, many grain stores in the commercial street are closed, only the grain stores of the imperial merchants and salt merchants are still open.

"Little boy, you saw that when we came here before, we could still see some shops, but now, even these shops are closed, and those who are open are driving up the price of food." Yinzhen pointed to the shops outside , It was discovered that it was the imperial merchant who was the symbol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Shu Yun didn't say a word. The food in Yuelai Inn was basically provided by Yinzhen's other courtyard. Some of these were kept as food reserves, and the rest were sold to Yuelai Inn. Therefore, the price of food would not be affected by The outside is affected by the disaster, and there are any fluctuations.

"Master, we are staying at the Yuelai Inn. If there is any problem, we can resist it for a while. Would you like to go to the inn and talk about it?" Yinzhen arrived in Zhili, but did not show up at the inn , Kangxi will be worried.

"No need, Huang Ama will definitely not say it. If we can handle the matter here, it will be the best help for Huang Ama." Yinzhen knew Kangxi's physical condition well, and he could Just resist it for a month.

If other princes made a move in the south, they might have been later.

The carriage stopped at the side door of the Yuelai Inn, and the shopkeeper walked out, seeing Yinzhen and Shu Yun, and hurriedly greeted the two masters.

"Let's go to the backyard first." Shu Yun specially left a courtyard for himself. This is the safest place, and there is a big door on the side. If something happens, Yinzhen can leave as soon as possible from the side door.

A group of people entered the backyard, Yinzhen and Shu Yun went to the study first, the shopkeeper told about the situation in Zhili City, it turned out that food was more expensive, and now it was twice as expensive as before.

When Shu Yun heard it, he was stunned. It is so much more expensive than before. No wonder, the people have left silently?

"Shopkeeper, what you said is true. When I came here, I saw many people leaving. What's the matter?" Yinzhen asked directly.

The shopkeeper sighed: "Master, you don't know, when everyone comes to buy things, Master Jiu's shop can still be cared for by the common people. Now, the grain stores that are open are basically patronized by dignitaries. After the end of the day, there will be food at a reduced price, although the common people can afford it, but the amount is very small."

After hearing this, Shu Yun looked at the shopkeeper in disbelief. It was clearly a province with a large output, but now, the local people couldn't afford to eat food.

"Shopkeeper, do you know what the governor here is doing?" Yinzhen looked at the shopkeeper and said.

"It should be. However, it was restrained by those imperial merchants. The Fuyin has been suppressing it, so the outbreak was delayed very late. Now, the power of the Fuyin has basically been emptied. The officials below have already communicated with the imperial merchants. You're going to be in the same boat." The shopkeeper said hastily.

Shu Yun's expression was a little weird, the governor should be a child of the Eight Banners, and he could still be controlled by the people from the House of Internal Affairs.

"No, the Niu Hulu family should be a big backer, so the old ten will follow." Yinzhen said helplessly.
