    After Emperor Hongzhi got angry for a while, he quickly regained his composure. He had always been gentle and gentle, and he knew that getting angry would have no effect at all, so he thought about it and said to Liu Jian and others: "What do you think about this matter?"  view?"

    "Your Majesty, the matter of food in the granary can be investigated slowly, but the problem of hunger among the victims cannot be delayed any longer. We must find ways to raise food as soon as possible for disaster relief."

    Liu Jian, as the chief minister of the cabinet, was naturally the first to stand up. He knew that the key now was not why the food was missing, but how to obtain food for disaster relief so that the victims could have enough to eat and survive this difficulty.

    "What Liu Gong said is true. The focus now is how to raise food for disaster relief. In my opinion, we should quickly order the southern provinces to transport food northward."

    Li Dongyang immediately followed, but after thinking for a while, he added: "It takes more than a month to transport grain from the southern provinces to the north, even from the nearest Henan and Anhui, and in addition to the large volume of water transportation,  Other areas have inconvenient transportation and limited food transportation, so the cost will be higher."

    "So for more than a month before the food arrives from the south, we must find another way to raise food for disaster relief."

    After hearing what Li Dongyang said, Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and nodded. There is food in the south, but it is difficult to transport it to the north. The only people who can transport food to support the north are Huguang, Suhang, and Jiangxi, the land of plenty. Although Sichuan is a Tianfu  land, but the food from Sichuan cannot be transported at all because the road out of Sichuan is too rugged.

    "Where can I raise enough food for a month?"

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned, thinking rapidly in his mind, and asked again.

    When Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others heard this, they all suddenly looked sad and meditative, but none of them could think of any good solution.

    During the famine years, food was extremely valuable. Except for the food in the imperial palace, few people had much leftover food. For a while, these court officials could not think of any good solution.

    Qianning Palace.

    Zhu Houzhao, who had just returned from Tianjin, was telling Queen Zhang what he had seen and heard in Tianjin.

    "Mother, haven't you seen that as soon as the fishing boats came back, they brought back tens of thousands of kilograms of sea fish, all kinds of sea fish, some of which weighed hundreds of kilograms, and it took five  It takes six people to lift it together."

    "I asked someone to bring back some sea fish, and I have asked the kitchen to cook it for you, Queen Mother, to try. Old Liu said that sea fish are more nutritious than river fish, especially the large yellow croaker. The meat is extremely delicious and rich in trace elements.  Queen Mother, it has very good beauty and health-preserving functions for people of your age, Queen Mother, you must eat more."

    "Okay, okay, I will definitely eat more. Your father really sent you to Tianjin to endure hardships and hardships. Look, you have lost weight."

    Queen Zhang was naturally very happy when she heard that her son had brought back sea fish for her. She had not seen Zhu Houzhao for a while, and she also complained about Emperor Hongzhi.

    "I eat well and drink well every day here in Tianjin. There is no hardship or hardship. The real hardships and hardships are the hungry people. Mother, you haven't seen it. Those hungry people have even eaten all the bark of the trees, and all the grass that has just grown is gone.  They even ate dirt, and their stomachs were as bloated as those of pregnant women who were pregnant for ten months. Their eyes were glaring with hunger and they were skin and bones. That is the real suffering. I have witnessed it with my own eyes this time."

    Zhu Houzhao didn't care. He lived a very relaxed life in Tianjin. He was not restricted by Emperor Hongzhi, didn't have to go to school, and could taste all kinds of seafood with Liu Jin every day. He didn't want to go back to the capital.  If Emperor Hongzhi had not ordered him to come back, he would have stayed in Tianjin. He also wanted to go out to sea to hunt whales.

    "How serious is it already?"

    At this time, Emperor Hongzhi walked in, his face full of sorrow. After discussing for a long time, he could not come up with any good solution. Now that he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, his face was extremely ugly.

    "Father, you will know it if you go and take a look among the victims in person. When you stay in the palace every day, you can see the suffering of the people and understand the hardships of the common people."

    Zhu Houzhao seemed to be angry. He came back from Tianjin all the way. Everywhere he passed, there were hungry people, and they were dying of hunger everywhere. It was terrible to see. Only the places closer to Tianjin were relatively better. The court seemed to have no disaster relief at all.  .

    Hearing Zhu Houzhao¡¯s words, Emperor Hongzhi was also slightly startled. Then he looked at Zhu Houzhao again and immediately felt that Zhu Houzhao had matured a lot.This trip to Tianjin was not in vain. He actually knew the sufferings of the people, and now he has begun to preach to himself.

    "If I have the chance, I will go and see it myself."

    Emperor Hongzhi said slowly.

    "Father, you should go take a look. I have long heard that the imperial court is providing disaster relief, but why is the disaster getting worse and worse?"

    Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then asked Emperor Hongzhi seriously. The dissatisfaction in his words was clearly revealed. He was really not afraid of his cheap father.

    "Alas, the imperial court now has no food in its hands."

    Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said helplessly.

    "No food?"

    "How is this possible? The food in the granary can be released for disaster relief. How can there be no food?"

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately didn¡¯t believe it.

    "There is indeed no food. I just received the news today that the food in the granary is gone."

    Emperor Hongzhi briefly talked about the matter with Zhu Houzhao. In the past, he would naturally not have told Zhu Houzhao these things, but today, he felt that the prince had matured a lot, so he also told Zhu Houzhao about this important matter.

    "It was said that there was food before, but now there is no food. There must be something fishy here. This food cannot be missing. Oh, I understand, I understand. They have played a big game of chess. It's really  So brave, I am really not afraid of being wiped out by the nine clans."

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately frowned and began to think, then he widened his eyes and said.

    This food cannot disappear for no reason. Xie Qian has been asked to check it before. Xie Qian is still trustworthy. What's more, Xie Qian was not the only one who was doing the check. Everyone else was also there, so he knew it as soon as he checked.

    This can only mean that the food in the granary disappeared during this period of time. As for how it disappeared, you can know it with your toes.

    This incident also reminded Zhu Houzhao of some things that happened when he was in Tianjin. Liu Jin said that someone was deliberately targeting him. If you connect these things together, you can guess it in an instant.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
