Chapter 872 But who is willing to be this one

After Xiao Yiping left, Yun Yi returned to the yard and did not walk into the triplets' room, but went to the study room first.

I took out the previous information, looked at the locations of King Yu’s three warehouses, estimated the approximate time to take, and then I collected the space.

Sitting in a rocking chair, she closed her eyes and thought about things. She knew that in addition to the five warehouses in the capital, King Yu also stored food and grass in the prefectures outside the capital. It only took time, but also manpower and material resources to transport it back to Beijing from those places.

Now the man in the palace knew that King Yu secretly supported his troops, afraid he would not let him go. He had not made any moves for more than a month, so he was afraid he was holding back his ultimate move.

Qingdai walked in with the tea he had just brewed: "Criminal Princess, the things you told me to send to Xiao's mansion have been delivered. Mrs. Xiao brings you a message so that you don't have to worry about them all the time, and everything in the mansion is fine."

Yun Yi opened her eyes and looked at Qingdai: "Brother Hao said when will he come and stay for a while?"

Qingdai helped his master pour good tea: "My uncle said that the academy has been assessed these days, and said that he would come to live after the assessment."

Yun Yi deepened her smile on her face: "That's right, I know I'll come over after the assessment."

Qingdai also laughed: "I guess, my uncle is afraid that he can't stand the temptation of his little masters, and that he will not be interested in his homework and will affect the exam."

Yun Yi didn't answer the conversation, but her eyes were full of smiles.

Qingdai thought about the scene he saw on the street before and thought about it: "The princess, I saw that there were a lot of begging people in the capital on the way to Xiao's mansion."

Thinking of the comments I heard, he continued, "I heard someone talking on the road. Those people are not people from the slums in the south of the city, nor are they beggars who have no place to live. Many of them came from the countryside outside the city."

Yun Yi thought to herself: What I was afraid of still happened. After paying the autumn tax in the countryside, the families were afraid that there would not be much food left. Now it was the twelfth lunar month and it was probably exhausted. From now on, there will be more and more people who will beg in the city. At least they will not improve until the beginning of next spring.

In the palace, Zuo Zijing, the Minister of Revenue, was reporting on the recent shortage of food in various places in the imperial study: "Sir, many places have no food to eat because of autumn grain, and there are many beggars in the capital recently."

At this time, Duan Jianzhang, the commander of the military commander of the military commander, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, what Lord Zuo said is not a false statement. Recently, there have been many gatherings and fighting incidents in the city, all of which were done by beggars. We should come up with countermeasures as soon as possible."

Zuo Zijing glanced at Duan Jianzhang and thought to himself: The security of the capital is the responsibility of your military officer. Whether you want to find a countermeasure is for you.

After hearing the two of them, the emperor said with some concern: "Master Zuo, what do you think should be dealt with?"

Zuo Zijing thought for a brief moment and said, "Master, all the food is in absent this autumn, and the taxed food is only 60% of the previous year. Now it has just entered the twelfth lunar month. If the warehouse is opened, I am afraid I will not last long.

It is better to wait any longer, as the people's homes have no grain left in the late month, and then they will open warehouses to serve porridge, which may be able to support the beginning of spring next year."

After hearing this, the emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Is there no other way? As Master Duan said, if a large number of beggars poured into the city, the security in the capital will be worrying."

Zuo Zijing thought that unless someone takes the lead in serving porridge, other wealthy families have to share their worries for the court due to their face. There is really no good way to do this.

But who would like to be this pioneer?
