Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the blink of an eye, not a single bird was left in front of the ¡®Jufu Mihang¡¯.

    "Are you bluffing?" Ju Youcai looked unbelieving and asked the waiter to move the table and let him go out to see what happened.

    There were crowds of people on both sides of the river, and the giant boss managed to squeeze in because of his height and strength.  Sure enough, I saw a row of 400 fully loaded grain boats on the Datong River, slowly approaching from the west, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

    I saw the sailors opening the reed shed on the ship, revealing the sacks piled inside.  They also deliberately opened the sacks and showed the white rice to the people.

    The people in the capital cheered enthusiastically when they saw this. Although the rice was not for them, it was completely shattered. The unscrupulous profiteers concocted lies about food shortages. How can they drive up prices?

    The talented boss opened his mouth and his eyes were as wide as a toad. He couldn¡¯t figure out where the rice came from?  The guild has long received accurate news that the Yellow River has burst its banks in Peixian County, the 600-mile canal cannot be opened to ships, and there will be no more grain transportation northward this year.

    Where did these grain ships come from?  Did you fly here from the south?

    While he was full of doubts, he suddenly saw eye-catching flags on the bows of the grain ships.

    Some of them have the words 'Ning'an Princess Fengjia' written on them, while others have the words 'Fengzhi', 'Shiyun' and other words written on them.

    "The eldest princessby decreeshipping?!" People connected the three signs together and thought they understood the truth of the matter.

    "It turns out that His Majesty ordered the eldest princess to transport food from the sea!" The people cheered again. Some shouted, "The emperor lives forever", and some shouted that the eldest princess "will remain young forever"!

    "Did you really transport this rice from the sea?" someone on the shore asked loudly.

    "Of course, we sailed from Chongming Island in Suzhou on the first day of the new year, and arrived at Tianjin Wei in ten days!" The sailors had rehearsed it repeatedly, and their answers were correct and loud, making sure that everyone could hear them clearly.

    "Can we reach Tianjin Wei by sea?" The people in the capital were shocked when they heard this. This was their blind spot.  "It really takes more than ten days to arrive?"

    "Why not? The sea is open, and grain was transported by sea during the Yongle period." The sailors replied loudly according to the standard answer: "And the Meng Yuan Dynasty has always been shipping, how can we be inferior to them?!"

    "That's impossible!" The pride of the people in the capital was suddenly aroused, and they suddenly felt that shipping by sea was not difficult.

    "Sea route" Although he was rich, he was sweating on his forehead. He never thought that such a thing would happen.

    At this time, Mr. Chicken, who had gone to Tongzhou to pick up the boat, came out of the cabin, clasped his fists and said to the onlookers:

    "Our family is the general manager of the eldest princess's palace, and we have been ordered by the emperor to teach the old and young men that the siltation of the canal is indeed a thing. However, the current Emperor Longqing is benevolent and compassionate, and loves the people like a son. He will never starve the people at the emperor's feet."

    When the people heard this, tears filled their eyes, and they shouted long live.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "Therefore, Your Majesty specially ordered the eldest princess to purchase 20,000 dan of grain from the south of the Yangtze River, and try to transport it by sea to temporarily replace the water transport. Your Majesty, with a rich body, personally led the fleet to the north by sea. As expected, the journey was safe, and they successfully arrived at Tianjin Wei, along the Dagu River.  Enter the Grand Canal and go straight to Datong Bridge!¡±

    "The eldest princess! The eldest princess! The eldest princess!" The eldest princess has long been a living Bodhisattva in the minds of the people in the capital.  When the common people heard that she had risked her life for everyone, they were even more moved. They shouted her title without emotion, which was much louder than the "Long Live the Emperor" just now.

    Father Chicken waited with a smile, finally calmed down, and then continued loudly: "All the food shipped this time will be sold on the spot at the cost price of one, two, three, one stone!"

    "Wow!" There was a roar, and the crowd suddenly became excited.  This is half the price!

    If the boat hadn't been in the river, they would have swooped on it.

    "Everyone, don't be anxious, don't be crowded!" Seeing countless hands reaching towards him, Mr. Chicken hurriedly said loudly: "Now that the sea route is open, there will be a steady stream of grain ships arriving in Beijing, enough to supply everyone! Soon!  The supply will be open and you can buy it at any time"

    The people were calmed down, but Ju Youcai was completely panicked. He quickly shrank his neck and tried to escape without anyone noticing.

    But how could the people let him get his wish?  Unknown hands reached out and grabbed his arms and clothes at the same time.

    ¡°Big Boss, don¡¯t leave!¡±

    "Go to your shop to buy rice. One or two and one stone are open for sale!"

    "Sold for three days!"

    "If you dare to talk without keeping your word, I will smash your shabby shop!"

    "Really? There's such a good thing"I felt relieved, but also a little curious, wondering if the girl was tired of playing.

    But it¡¯s normal, I¡¯m tired of the three palaces and six courtyards.  What's more, she is only one, spending all day together, it would be strange if she doesn't get tired of it.

    Thinking of this, Humong couldn't help but secretly praise himself for his wisdom.  The ancients said that it is better to block than to open up, and to be sincere and not to be deceived.

    Ning An looked at the emperor's brother's expression changing, as if he was complacent and as if he had saved some treasure. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

    "No, no, I'm very comfortable. I've never felt so comfortable." Emperor Longqing laughed heartily and said, "Sister, when you go south this time, have you discovered that the so-called beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is just that? Just take a look.  Tired of it?"

    "No, the beauty of Jiangnan is wonderful." Ning'an sighed with a longing face, and recited Bai Letian's "Remembering Jiangnan" and said: "Jiangnan is wonderful, the scenery is familiar to me before. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are redder than the fire, and when spring comes, the river is green.  Rulan. Can you not remember Jiangnan?"
