Chapter 264 Escort

If others talk about him, he will still be able to accept the others, but he will definitely not accept the people who think they are not kind enough.

Of course, Fang Shiyu didn't just want to solve this problem just to cherish his feathers, so he quickly summoned all civil and military officials and ministers from the cabinet to discuss.

Not long after Fang Shiyu received the news, the ministers in the cabinet all received the news. Everyone's faces were not very good when they heard the news. After Fang Shiyu called them over, the ministers in the cabinet didn't care about their dislikes between the two of them, and began to talk about their thoughts. The whole imperial study room was as messy as a vegetable market. Of course, the core solution was that they should allocate some money to the Jinan area of ​​Shandong as soon as possible, so that there would be food there, solve the current situation of the people first, and then deal with other matters.

Many experienced people know that locust plagues will usually be accompanied by droughts soon after. If this matter is not solved well, it is very likely that the fields there will be no crops that can be planted for several years.

Fortunately, their treasury has been relatively abundant in recent years. In addition, after Fang Shiyu's people occupied the grassland before, they successfully converted some things on the grassland into the treasury. Therefore, at this time, the winning money in the treasury can be taken out and broadcasted to the people to solve the current difficulties first.

Later, the ministers discussed together how much money should be allocated, and according to the market price of the grain, Fang Shiyu soon sowed 200,000 taels of silver to Jinan, Shandong.

If there was no drought, the 200,000 silver was allocated to support people in Jinan, Shandong for half a year, but now after the money has been sown, the food I bought is not as good as usual.

But even so, the money was quickly exchanged for food and transported to Jinan, Shandong in large quantities.

Moreover, after passing the previous events, Fang Shiyu also found that someone must have taken the opportunity to hype after this drought, so it is very likely that this grain movement will be very dangerous in the past.

However, Lan Yu, who Fang Shiyu has always trusted the most, was photographed on the prairie by him, so now there is no reliable general around Fang Shiyu to use.

The generals before were actually envious and jealous of Lan Yu. Now that they saw that they finally had the opportunity to show up, two young generals immediately stood up and expressed that they were willing to escort this batch of grain in person. Fang Shiyu was slightly stunned when he saw the two young generals, but he was very satisfied with the two young generals' volunteers.

So he nodded and appointed an experienced veteran general to take the two young generals to come over. On the one hand, he gave the two young generals a chance to make achievements, and on the other hand, he also ensured the safety of these two young generals so that they would not be arrogant and arrogant because they were too anxious and wanted to make contributions.

When the people in the court saw Fang Shiyu's actions, they couldn't help but silently praise Fang Shiyu. After all, although Fang Shiyu really trusted Lan Yu very much, he would not give all the credit to Lan Yu. Just like the thoughts of these two young generals now, it can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone.

However, His Highness not only did not suppress it, but also encouraged the two young generals very much, and even paved the way the young general was going to take.

When they arrived here, those loyal to Your Highness felt that they should be loyal to Your Highness, especially those generals who saw His Highness's performance, felt that as long as they worked hard in their lives, they would definitely have a chance to make a comeback.

At the same time, the officials couldn't help but sigh. His Highness's brilliant mind, after all, under such circumstances, if he were an ordinary person, he would have been in a state of anxiety. However, now Fang Shiyu is not only concerned about the situation in Jinan, Shandong, but also cares about the people in the court.

However, even though Fang Shiyu ordered people to deliver a large amount of food to them in time, it could not stop it. The number of victims in Jinan, Shandong was too large, and because of the drought, the people were panic and they all wandered around.

It was the time when we united as one to save the disaster area, but some illegal businessmen made great money at this time.

Although the development of the Ming Dynasty was quite good, the people were not rich. At this time, because the merchants who sold grain began to raise the price of grain, many people had some money in their hands in time, but they could not last for a few days.

So some people who could have persisted in the amount distributed by Fang Shiyu were the ones who were in the past because they could not afford to buy food. Then they were so hungry that they began to displace and flee to other places.

At that time, refugees from all over the country were everywhere, and some even promoted it, saying that this was because Fang Shiyu went against the will of heaven, not only let his subordinates bully the wife of the tribe leader on the grassland, but also occupied other people's territory now, so the genius gave Fang Shiyu such a punishment.

Although most of the people who received the benefits were grateful to Fang Shiyu and did not believe this statement, the people in Jinan are now hungry, and the state's relief food has not been distributed to them for a long time, so they began to feel resentful to Fang Shiyu.

Some people even couldn't stand the hunger, so they ran to other places and started robbing other people's things. For a while, many places were in chaos because the people in Jinan, Shandong were displaced.

Fang Shiyu was also very angry when he received this news. On the one hand, the people who were asked to solve the problem should not punish those who were robbed because they were hungry.

On the other hand, it also made people secretly investigate who was spreading the rumors.

Although Fang Shiyu initially suspected that it was the people who were suppressed by him on the grassland, but who were unwilling to accept it, then more Fang Shiyu suspected that some people wanted to use this matter to provoke the people's feelings for them, and then take the opportunity to deal with them.

As for those people on the grassland, although they are likely to have this idea, they are all suppressed by Lan Yu now, and they should not have the energy for a while.

Therefore, Fang Shiyu was also very busy and anxious.

However, Fang Shiyu always looks calm on the outside, so even though Fang Shiyu was anxious at this time and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, she was still peaceful on the surface.

When the officials saw that Fang Shiyu was like this, they couldn't help but feel more at ease in their hearts and followed Fang Shiyu's instructions to do things step by step.

Not to mention that the peaceful state that Fang Shiyu deliberately put out also calmed the hearts of all officials.

At this time, a county magistrate in Jinan saw that the people were living in poverty. He originally thought that the drought had caused such a great impact on the people, but those illegal businessmen took the opportunity to make money from the national crisis at this time, making the people's lives even more straits.

So the county magistrate directly took the yamen runners to arrest all the illegal merchants, detained them in prison, and then opened the warehouse to distribute the grain to the people.

It has to be said that this limited practice has been successfully praised by the people, and the people are excited to take rice bags to the granary to receive food.

With this county magistrate of Jinan and the temporarily released grain, the crisis in Jinan was temporarily alleviated, but it was said that what the county magistrate did offended the merchants.

The people arrested by him before were only from some big business sects. They went to Jinan to manage the business sect and were not the host behind the scenes. Therefore, after the county magistrate of Jinan did such a thing, he was soon retaliated.

He was assassinated the day after he opened the warehouse and released the grain, and was killed on the spot just as he was releasing the grain.

Fang Shiyu has been paying close attention to the matter in Jinan for a while. Now that such a big thing happened, Fang Shiyu got the news immediately. Fang Shiyu, who received the news, angrily threw the table in front of him to the ground and said angrily: "These people are really lawless. My dignified court officials didn't take them seriously. They even killed them just by saying that they would kill them. So when, if my nobles did something that violated their interests, they would come and kill me?"

After playing this sentence, did Fang Shiyu immediately summon the secret guards around him? Let the secret guards check the facts of this matter. As long as they find out who those people are, they will directly arrest those people.

This was the first time that all officials saw Fang Shiyu getting so angry that they couldn't help but feel a little numb.

Especially those officials who colluded with businessmen felt even more heartbroken.

At the same time, I also prayed secretly, hoping that the businessmen I supported did not participate in this matter.

However, Fang Shiyu did not take the faces of the people in front of him, but directly sent the Jinyiwei.

Although those merchants are very good at doing business, they are just people who can spend money to buy evil people. Therefore, the Jinyiwei quickly found out that the merchants who participated in this matter were invited before.

If it were the small things that happened before, Fang Shiyu could also tolerate the merchants. After all, every time the merchants would spend a lot of money to make up for their mistakes and use them to seal and transfer the property. But this time, these merchants not only dared to make money from the national crisis, but also dared to assassinate the county magistrate. So how could His Highness to tolerate them?

The one who was the leader of the big killer was still thinking about discussing the conditions with the officials and saying how much it cost to buy his name. However, Fang Shiyu didn't give them a chance at all. He waved his hand and then arrested all the merchants who were killed, peeled and lit the sky lanterns.

I have to say that this is the most cruel criminal law that Fang Shiyu has ever used since he came to power, and it has to be said that this mental method does have some effect, and those merchants who did not participate are also grateful.

Originally, the people who were affected had some complaints about Fang Shiyu, but when they heard the news again, the people came to see the merchants one by one. Although such a picture made people feel a little panicked, the people who were severely affected were inexplicably excited at this time.

Before those big businessmen who usually bullied them died, they took out the rotten eggs, rotten vegetables and leaves in their hands and fryed the big intestines and threw them over.

Therefore, those businessmen who made great fortunes in the country had to endure the pain of skinning and lighting the sky lanterns, but also accepted them before they lost consciousness. They had never received any humiliation in their lives.

But at this time, even if officials had some contact with them before, who would dare to speak for them? After all, what they did this time really angered Fang Shiyu.

After Fang Shiyu did this again, he directly issued an edict to take the killed official as an example and leave a title for his descendants.

Especially the people in Jinan, Shandong, were already killed because the county magistrate was killed, and they were all very sad and wanted to plead for the official.

At this time, when Fang Shiyu's edict was issued, the people were all very excited, and some even knelt on the ground in public and kowtowed in the direction of the palace, feeling grateful.

In order to ensure the transportation of food, Fang Shiyu directly sent Ping An to lead the soldiers to secretly protect and check the situation.

The previous batch of the two young generals had already cultivated, so this batch of Fang Shiyu, who was secretly escorted by Ping An, also believed that the batch of the batch could definitely be reached safely.

Although Ping'an didn't care much about the size of his official position, he was still a little depressed because he was implicated by Zhang Tian before and was demoted to Guan'er.

Of course, what he was depressed was not because he lost his official position, but because he felt that it was too embarrassing to do such a thing. If he hadn't taken care of Zhang Tian well, that wouldn't have happened at that time.

This time, Fang Shiyu re-activated him, which was also a great trust for Ping An. Therefore, Ping An knelt down without hesitation to thank Fang Shiyu, and took on this task at the same time.

Fang Shiyu has been a child since he was a child. How could he not understand Ping'an's thoughts when he grew up? It was just that the matter was already there at that time. Even if he was not in Ping'an, Ping'an could not overcome the hurdle in his heart.
