King Jin enters the palace

"Now there is no food in the court, and there are so many victims."

"At this time, only the aristocratic families have food in their hands. If we attack them at this time, it will be easy for others to take advantage of them. I am afraid it will cause a civil uprising."

He really wanted to fight against the noble family, and in the past two years, he had stopped thinking about it almost all the time.

But he won't really take action, especially at this juncture.

Don't look at the fact that he asked Duke Zhen Guo to lead troops to fight two days ago. It was just a casual talk and he wanted to test whether Duke Zhen Guo was still as obedient as before.

If the Duke of Zhen had agreed directly to it like before, he would have asked Wen Songtao to find a way to stop it.

If we attack the aristocratic family at this time, wouldn't it mean giving the aristocratic family a chance to agitate the people?

At worst, a civil uprising may occur, but at worst, the entire East Continent may be subverted.

This is not an exaggeration. You need to know why the previous dynasty collapsed? Wasn't it just because the people couldn't eat and the court didn't do anything?

"How come there is no food?"

"Don't your Majesty know what's going on outside the city?"

King Jin spoke in great surprise.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongwen was a little stunned, and then asked, "What's going on outside the city?"

"You don't know?"

Seeing that Emperor Hongwen was still confused, King Jin looked surprised.

"It turns out that you really don't know, brother Huang."

"Master Wanfu County, your recent actions are not small. Many people outside are talking about it."

Upon hearing the title Lord Wanfu County, Emperor Hongwen immediately became interested.

And I was still a bit dumbfounded. You have to know that to receive a title, you need to go to the palace the next day to express your gratitude.

The Lord of Wanfu County is quite good. After being granted the title, he has not come to express his gratitude until now.

If it were anyone else, Emperor Hongwen would probably be angry and dissatisfied, but he had nothing to do with Lu Yaoyao, the lord of Wanfu County.

After all, what did the county chief say?

He originally asked for his own title, but he was forcibly granted the title of County Lord.

Regarding this girl, at first he was tolerant because of Lu Yunjun's face, but as she revealed more and more things, his view of this girl also changed.

This is a talent, and a great talent at that.

And she is still a girl. For such a person, it is not very good for him.

You can safely give rewards without worrying about other messy things.

"What kind of fuss did she make again?"

"I remember that after she angrily attacked the civil servants in the court last time, there were a lot of rumors about her in the capital. The common people and scholars spoke very highly of her."

Hearing this, King Jin smiled and said, "The beginning and end are high, brother, you don't know that, right?"

"Nowadays, many scholars in the capital regard her four sentences of establishing a heart for heaven and earth as their life goals."

"She is said to be the teacher of scholars in the world, and even my friends now call her Lu Wenzong."

"Lu Wenzong?"

Emperor Hongwen smacked his lips twice, thought about what Lu Yaoyao said that day, and nodded in agreement.

"She is worthy of such a title."

"Tell me about her latest big move."

Hearing this, King Jin nodded and said, "In the past few days, people from her village were buying large quantities of wheat, chickens, ducks and geese all over the capital."

"It is said that tens of thousands of stones of wheat have been purchased, as well as tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese."

"so much?"

Emperor Hongwen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why is she buying so many things?"

"There are tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese, so don't they need food to feed them?"

With tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese, how much food do we need every day?

He is now worried about food, and the Wanfu County Lord is still so wasteful, which makes him a little dissatisfied and unhappy.

"This is what my brother came to the emperor to say today."

"I know you are worried about food."

Emperor Hongwen was a little confused by his words.

"Although wheat is also food, it cannot provide disaster relief."

Wheat, with Dongzhou's cooking methods, the food made by that thing is really hard to swallow.

If this kind of food is used for disaster relief, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

"You can't eat wheat, but you can eat steamed buns."

"Steamed buns?"

"What is this?"

King Jin quickly told what happened at Lu Yao Yao Village recently about steamed buns and steamed buns.

He also said that this thing is made of wheat flour and tastes very delicious.

As for why he knew so clearly, in fact, last night, Lu Yaoyao outside the city had someone send him a secret letter, which contained information about wheat, flour, buns and steamed buns.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. People in the village in Wanfu County outside the city can't live without steamed buns every day."

"I heard that that thing is not only delicious, but also very hungry. It is made entirely of wheat powder?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen stood up in surprise.

"Wang De, hurry up and invite the Lord Wanfu County to enter the palace. Go and invite him in person."

Wang De quickly agreed, but just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by King Jin.

"Brother Imperial, wait a moment."

"Um?"

Emperor Hongwen turned to look at King Jin and frowned slightly.

"Now is not the time to invite her. The news about the steamed buns has slowly spread. Brother Chen believes that what we need to do now is not to find Wanfu County Lord to enter the palace, but to quickly find trustworthy people and purchase wheat from various places.

."

"While the price of wheat hasn't risen yet, let's control it first, so as not to be overtaken by aristocratic families later."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen's heart trembled.

Yes, since the King of Jin made such an oath, it must not be false.

Nowadays, most of the grains on the market are collected by aristocratic families. Because wheat is not easy to eat, no one cares about it.

The price will naturally not be high. It is best to have it in your hands first before word spreads, and then go and verify it.

"Wang De, go to Prime Minister Wen's house and ask him to arrange for people to start buying wheat. Remember to let him do it secretly and buy more wheat as quickly as possible."

Wang De responded and left.

Emperor Hongwen was in the imperial study again, pacing back and forth several times.

"Royal brother, please wait here for a while while I go change my clothes. You can accompany me outside the city."

"Okay, brother Chen, go make arrangements."

The two of them left the imperial study one after another. About two quarters of an hour later, Emperor Hongwen left the palace secretly.

Almost at the same time, Wen Songtao also took action.

"Miss, you are too powerful, aren't you?"

"This flour is so messy in your hands."

Idle time is also idle. In the past few days, Lu Yaoyao has been busy making flour.

Baozi and steamed buns are just the most basic cooking methods of flour.

Then there were dumplings and noodles, and Lu Yaoyao started making pastries again, using flour and eggs.

"It's a pity that there is no oven, otherwise I could make a lot of things for you."
