Chapter 129, humming, rest assured
In a blink of an eye, there was no bird left before the "Jiufumi Mixing".
"Is that a fool?" Ju Youcai looked disbelief and asked the guy to move the table away and let him go out to see what was going on.
The river was crowded with people, and the giant boss relied on his height and strength to squeeze in and out of the way. Sure enough, he saw a row of 400-food grain ships slowly sailing from the west, and he could not see at first sight.
The sailors opened the reed shed on the boat, revealing the sacks piled up inside. They also deliberately opened the sacks and showed the white rice to the people.
The people in the capital cheered in mercy when they saw this. Although the rice was not for them, it was shattered directly. The unscrupulous businessmen fabricated the lie of food cut off. Let's see how they still raise prices?
The boss with a talented man with his mouth open, his eyes staring like a toad, and he couldn't figure out where the rice came from? The guild had already received the exact news that the Yellow River broke its dam in Pei County, and the 600-mile canal cannot be opened to ships. This year, there will be no more grain transported to the north.
So where did these grain ships come from? Did they fly from the south?
Just as he was full of doubt, he suddenly saw a dazzling opening flag on the bows of the grain ships.
Some of them read "Ning'an Chang'an Fenghua", while others read "Original Princess Fenghua", "Sea Transportation" and other words.
"The eldest princess... is ordered... shipped by sea?!" People connected the three signs together and thought they had learned the truth of the matter.
"It turned out that His Majesty ordered the eldest princess to transport food from the sea!" The people cheered again, some shouted, "The emperor will live forever," and some shouted, "Youth will last forever"!
"Did your rice really come from sea?" someone asked loudly on the shore.
"Of course, we went abroad from Chongming Island, Suzhou on the first day of the New Year, and arrived in Tianjin Wei in ten days!" The sailors had practiced repeatedly, and their answers were straight and their voices were loud, so that everyone must hear them clearly.
"Can you get to Tianjin Wei at sea?" The people in the capital were shocked when they heard this. This was their blind spot. "Can you really get there in more than ten days?"
"Why can't it be? The sea is connected. During the Yongle period, the grain was transported by sea." The sailors replied loudly according to the standard answer: "And the Mongolian Yuan has always been shipping by sea, so how can we be worse than them?!"
"That's not possible!" The self-esteem of the people in the capital was suddenly stirred up, and they suddenly felt that shipping was not difficult.
"Sea Road..." Ju Youcai's forehead was cold and sweating, and he never expected that there would be such a thing.
At this time, the old man who was specially sent to Tongzhou to pick him up came out of the cabin and clasped his fists at the crowd and said:
"Our family is the chief supervisor of the eldest princess's mansion. According to His Royal Highness's order, we can teach the old and young men that the canal is silted. However, Emperor Longqing is kind and kind, and loves the people as his son, and will never starve the people at the foot of the emperor."
When the common people heard this, they burst into tears, and they shouted long live the mountains.
When everyone was quiet, Eunuch Chicken continued to say slowly:
"Therefore, Your Majesty ordered the eldest princess to purchase 20,000 stones of grain from the south of the Yangtze River to try to transport sea to temporarily replace the transport of water. His Highness, with a man of a thousand gold, personally led the fleet north from the sea route. Sure enough, he arrived in Tianjin Wei smoothly, walked along the Dagu River into the Grand Canal, and went straight to the Datong Bridge!"
"Princess! Princess! Princess! Princess!" The princess has long been a living Bodhisattva in the minds of the people in the capital. When the people heard that she was taking risks for everyone, they were even more moved and shouted for her title. The voice of the chant was much higher than that of yelling 'Long Live the Emperor'.
The chicken waited with a smile, and finally calmed down, then continued to whisper: "The food shipped this time is all sold on the spot at a cost of one, two, three stone!"
"Wow!" The crowd suddenly became excited. This was half cheaper!
If the ship wasn't in the river, they would probably have pounced on it.
"Don't be anxious, don't squeeze!" Seeing countless hands reaching towards him, Eunuch Chicken said hurriedly: "Since the sea road is open, there will be a steady stream of grain ships to Beijing, enough to supply everyone! It will be open soon and can be bought at any time..."
The people were comforted, but Ju Youcai was completely panicked. He quickly shrank his neck, trying to slip away while others were not paying attention.
But how could the common people make him do what he wants? I don’t know how many hands stretched out and grabbed his arms and clothes at the same time.
"Boss, don't leave!"
"Go to your store to buy rice, one or two stones will be sold open!"
"Sell for three days!"
"If you dare not keep your word, you will smash your broken store!"
"Is that so? Is there such a good thing? Go with me!" The onlookers also started to cheer after hearing this.
"This, this..." Ju Youcai had the heart to jump into the river, but the people could not let him do what he wanted. He almost carried him to rush to Ju Fu Mixing not far away...
~~
More than forty grain ships were taken by Chen Huaixiu and Elder Niu to unload the goods at the Cao Transportation Wharf. With the help of the chicken, there was nothing to worry about.
The eldest princess' boat continued to sail to the Imperial Wharf. The palace sent someone to inform her. His Majesty ordered her to take her children into the palace as soon as she got off the boat, and she also specially ordered Zhao Hao to accompany her. So Mr. Zhao had to continue to follow her godmother.
Listening to the people's praises to the emperor and himself, Ning An felt a little sorry for Zhao Hao: "It was obviously my son's plan, but he asked his godmother and my emperor's brother to pick the fruit."
"Mom's words are too disgusting. Who will follow us?" Mr. Zhao said with sincerity and filial piety: "Besides, if you don't use my mother's banner, can the Jiangnan shipping ship be successfully driven into Dagukou? It has been stopped by the imperial navy long ago."
In fact, there are lanterns of "Jiangnan Shipping" hanging on the ship, but the princess is just covered in the limelight. But those who are interested will definitely see it and remember it in their hearts.
"What a good boy." Ning An happily took a big bag: "Don't worry, the shipping of grain will be covered by His Majesty."
"Yes." This is why Mr. Zhao asked his godmother to show off. Now that she has already said the big talk, she will definitely do her best.
"It's a pity..." However, Ning An knew it himself and sighed: "For such a big thing, it's not enough for Brother Guang to nod. He must agree with the cabinet. Maybe he has to go to the court to discuss it."
"Well, the child is ready for a protracted war." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile. He also wanted to cut the mess quickly and finalize the matter, but the Caoyun Interest Group would never let him pass the test easily.
~~
The mother and the mother were talking when the sand boat stopped at the Imperial Wharf, and the eunuch Feng Bao led a palace servant to wait for a long time.
Although Zhao Hao has a good relationship with Feng Bao, after all, Zhao Erye’s title of “the top scorer” is certified by Eunuch Feng. However, in this kind of public occasion, the two of them pretended not to know each other, and just quickly met each other and met with each other step by step.
The eldest princess sat in the eight-lifting sedan chair, and Zhao Hao and Li Mingyue also had a sedan chair. When the four of them sat down, Eunuch Feng sang "Get up the sedan chair" loudly. The eunuchs raised the sedan chair, and the Jinyiwei opened the way in front of the head, fought the princess's ceremonial guards, and marched towards the Forbidden City in a mighty manner.
Zhao Hao was actually quite surprised. Although he recognized the eldest princess's godmother, this kind of relationship would not be officially recognized. Emperor Longqing invited his sister and nephew to have dinner and asked him to do something outsider. Is he short of money again?
But there is nothing to think about, I will know after meeting. Emperor Longqing is good at this. He has always said whatever he has. It is clear that he never plays with unpredictable rulings, emperors' minds, etc.
~~
At a moment, Feng Zhi entered the palace and the team went directly to the Ganqing Palace.
Feng Bao invited Ning'an to go to the East Nuan Pavilion first to meet the emperor, while Zhao Hao and Li Chengen waited in the outside hall.
In the East Nuan Pavilion, Long Qing was quite nervous and asked Teng Xiang, who was serving on the side, and said, "Have you put them all in place? No one can be missing, and one will be missing."
"I have put away all the things I should collect. Your Majesty, how can I show it outside?" Teng Xiang said hurriedly.
"That's good, that's good." Long Qing looked carefully at the warm pavilion. All the Yansheng porcelains had been put away, and all kinds of things that were not suitable for children were replaced by normal decorations. Then he let go and said, "If she sees them, she will definitely smash them for me."
"Yes, yes." The eldest princess's heroic figure of hiding her whip in her sleeves and coming to settle the score with His Majesty made Eunuch Teng very impressed. This time she was killed by the emperor and was certain that she was unhappy, and she didn't know how to get angry.
The master and servant were reviewing anxiously, and then they heard the little eunuch outside sing: "Princess Ning'an is asking for a meeting."
"Xuan." Teng Xiang said tremblingly.
Longqing quickly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and showed eight teeth in front of the mirror, greeting him with a smile.
"Ning'an greets the emperor's brother." Ning'an came from outside with a gust of fragrant wind and said his blessings to Emperor Longqing.
"Oh, sister, please calm down, let me take a good look at you!" Emperor Longqing quickly supported Ning An, looking at his younger sister's face with a loving look, but his light glanced at her abdomen.
After confirming that Ning An's belly had not had any ups and downs, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least the family was peaceful and no one was killed.
After the brother and sister sat down, Longqing found that the girl was in good mood and was not as irritable as she thought. This made him feel relieved and a little curious, thinking that the girl was tired of playing.
But it's normal. I'm tired of all three palaces and six courtyards. Besides, she's only one, so it's strange that she's not tired of being together all day long.
Thinking of this, Wu Mu couldn't help but secretly praise himself for his wisdom. The ancients said that it is better to be distracted than to block, and he is sincere and not to deceive me.
Ning An looked at the changeable expression of the emperor's brother, as if he was complacent, and as if he had saved some treasure, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm very comfortable, I've never been so comfortable." Emperor Longqing laughed and said, "It's just a girl, you, this time you go south, have you discovered that the so-called beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is just that. You'll get tired of seeing it?"
"No, the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is beautiful." Ning An sighed with longing on his face and chanted Bai Letian's "Remembering Jiangnan" and said: "The Jiangnan is beautiful, and the scenery has been known to us. The sunrise, the flowers in the river are redder than fire, and the river water is as green as blue in spring. How can you not remember Jiangnan?"
