Frustrated

As for whether the court would take this opportunity to resolve the crisis, she didn't consider it at all.

It was the court's luck that could resolve it, and as the creator of wheat flour, she would certainly have many benefits.

Of course, what she hopes most is that the imperial court does not act as quickly as the aristocratic family. Since then, the aristocratic family has done everything possible and has not given the imperial court any chance.

That was forcing Emperor Hongwen to take action against them. The more domineering the family was, the more unlucky they would be.

You know, if the imperial court continues to be without food, there will definitely be quite a riot below.

The aristocratic family will be in chaos, and the aristocratic family will be in chaos if it is not moved. If it were her, she would definitely not make it easy for the aristocratic family, and would even put some labels on the aristocratic family. She would take this opportunity to clean up the aristocratic family and at the same time weaken their popularity among the people.

Influence.

"Yao Yao, this is not a small matter, you must be careful."

"You are the only one who can make this wheat flour anyway. Let's use it quietly for ourselves first and don't make a fuss. We can do it again after this incident is over. We won't be able to make enough money anyway."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded with a smile and continued, "Thank you, uncle, for caring about me and allowing you to make another trip on a hot day."

"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind."

Seeing that she was so relaxed, Lu Xiu wanted to persuade her, but then he thought about it. His niece was very capable and very smart. She must have thought of this.

"Yao Yao, my uncle knows that you are a successful person."

"But my uncle still wants to remind you that you must think twice before doing anything. You are my only bloodline. My uncle, your grandfather, and your second uncle don't want anything to happen to you."

"Well, I will be careful, thank you, uncle."

Lu Xiu sat for a while longer before getting up and leaving.

As soon as he left, Qiu Shuang said worriedly, "Miss, I have thought about what my uncle said just now. It will indeed be very troublesome. How about we ask people outside not to leak the news?"

"No, what I want is for it to be leaked. It would be best if the whole world knows about it."

"this"

Qiu Shuang is still a little worried.

"Sister Qiu Shuang, what are you worried about? The young lady must have her reasons for doing this."

"If you think about it, this is also a good thing."

"If everyone in the world knew that wheat can be made into flour and steamed buns, how many lives could be saved?"

"Miss, you are doing a great thing, a great thing."

Qiu Yu didn't think so much, and she didn't like to use her brain. Anyway, she knew that if the lady wanted to do this, there must be a reason for doing so.

Anyway, they are not as smart as the young ladies.

"That's true."

Qiu Shuang nodded, but she had made a plan in her heart. Since the young lady wanted to do it, she would have to ask Hou Si to pay close attention to the movements of all parties. Even if something bad was going to happen, they could make preparations in advance.

Another ten days passed, and Lao Kang purchased 100,000 shi of wheat from various places.

It can be said that the wheat from all the villages and towns around the capital has been purchased and brought to Zhuangshang.

At the same time, he also purchased a lot of chickens, ducks and geese. Although it has not reached the 50,000 he said, it is already over 30,000.

During these ten days, Emperor Hongwen arranged for Wen Songtao and the eldest prince to go find the person in charge of the family in the capital.

As a result, the aristocratic family kept saying there was no food.

Emperor Hongwen was so angry that he wanted to immediately order Prince Yun to mobilize an army to attack the mansions of the heads of aristocratic families in the capital.

It's really annoying.

As the emperor, he has been visited again and again, yet the noble family still doesn't give him face.

Is it possible to ask him to go there in person?

In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Hongwen had not had a good rest recently. His whole body was very depressed and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Wang De, go and tell Gao Yanming to come see me."

Not long after, Gao Yanming appeared in the imperial study room.

"Gao Qing's family, there is no food available in the court now, what can you do?"

Hearing this, Gao Yanming pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this matter recently."

"There is a way, but it's not easy to implement."

"Oh? Tell me quickly."

Emperor Hongwen was very surprised to hear that he had a solution.

"In the past few days, I have sent people to investigate. There are still a lot of grains in the homes of various distinguished nobles in the capital. Why don't Your Majesty ask them to borrow some emergency supplies?"

As soon as these words came out, the fire of hope that Emperor Hongwen had just ignited was instantly extinguished. He took a deep look at Gao Yanming, his eyes full of deep meaning.

This guy actually allowed him to go to the nobles to borrow food.

Who in the court now doesn't know that food is in the hands of aristocratic families. Although the nobles have food in their hands, how much more do they have besides what they need?

If he went to borrow food from nobles, he would definitely be able to receive it, but what would those nobles think?

Well, you clearly know that the aristocratic family has food, but your Majesty, instead of going to the aristocratic family, you come to them.

Do you think nobles like them are easier to bully than aristocratic families?

The honorable nobles have all made great contributions to Dongzhou, but their nature to Dongzhou is completely different, but what about the aristocratic family?

Are they just uncles? They usually do all sorts of things to earn money.

Nothing is wrong. These nobles are restricted in various ways and can only watch others making money. Do they really think that they are all fools?

"What about the aristocratic family?"

Emperor Hongwen suddenly said this.

Gao Yanming was not panicked at all. As the highest-ranking member of the aristocratic family in the court, he naturally knew how much the aristocratic family had in hand.

Because there are many things, they are very safe. Especially at this time, the court dare not touch them.

This is a good opportunity. Emperor Hongwen has been wanting to do something against the aristocratic family for the past two years. Isn't it just because Dongzhou is stable and has more things in his hands?

Now that God has given this opportunity, they will naturally seize this opportunity and set Dongzhou's situation back for several years.

The reason why he suggested that Your Majesty should ask the nobles to borrow food was because he wanted to make the nobles feel dissatisfied.

To weaken the power in Emperor Hongwen's hands. If he has no power, the family will be safe, and he will be safe.

"I went to the person in charge of the family a few days ago."

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, at the beginning of the drought, I also opened a warehouse and released a lot of grain."

"Now I don't have much food left in my family. It's not enough to feed so many people, so I thought about borrowing some food from the aristocratic family, but I didn't get it."

"Although the aristocratic family purchased a lot of grain this time, there are many children of the aristocratic family. In such an old age, they also have to support their own families, so."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded calmly and said, "I understand, please step back."

Gao Yanming bowed and resigned.

As soon as he left the imperial study, there was a sound of crackling and smashing of tea cups from behind.

Gao Yanming just smiled coldly.
