Xiao, who was far away in the capital, did not know that Yan Shouzhan's inner activities were so rich.

She is busy preparing for Yan Yuntong's wedding.

She naturally wanted to do it when her only son got married.

However, the disaster has worsened and many places have confirmed that they will not be able to recover, and a large number of refugees have already appeared.

At this time, a large-scale wedding banquet was held, which may lead to impeachment by the censor, attract everyone's attention, and cause dissatisfaction in the palace.

With the emperor's petty and stingy temperament, he would definitely record a note when he learned that she was organizing a wedding banquet.

If the time is right in the future, the accounts must be settled later.

"Why……"

She has money but cannot organize her children's weddings, and she cannot help but feel regretful.

Yan Yuntong looked careless, "Mother, don't sigh. The relatives of our two families are not in the capital. There is no way to organize the wedding in large quantities, nor can we have a big banquet for guests. It is enough to invite a table of guests at 10 or 20 tables!"

Xiao was unhappy, "You are the only son of this palace. You only have 100 to 20 tables of guests at your wedding. Who are you in a shabby manner? You should have at least hundreds of tables of guests at your wedding."

Yan Yuntong frowned, "But, our Yan family and the Liu family are not in the capital, and it is impossible to have a hundred guests!"

Xiao snorted coldly, "Just relying on the connection between me and Mr. Liu, let alone a hundred tables, even two hundred tables of guests can be invited."

However, invitations cannot be distributed widely.

I thought about it, hesitated, and finally decided on thirty-five tables.

Yan Yun also dislikes too much.

Xiao's eyes glared and suppressed his resistance.

Yan Yun and the fourth sister in private muttered, "My mother has a big temper! I just said that there are a lot of customers on the thirty-five table, so my mother thought I was annoying and told me not to wander in front of her."

"You deserve it!"

Yan Yunge has no sympathy.

"My mother is organizing a wedding banquet for you. If you are not grateful, you still dare to be picky."

"Who said I was not grateful?" Yan Yuntong jumped in anger. "I was afraid of being tired of my mother. Seeing that she always sighed, she asked for less guests."

Yan Yunge shook his head repeatedly and looked at his brother's gaze, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

"Brother, you really don't know your mother. To be precise, you don't know women too much. Mother sighs, you just say that you don't ask for less guests, and don't scold you. Why does your mother sigh? Isn't it just because you can't send invitations and can't handle them in a big way? You even say that you don't want to invite less guests, and you are clearly singing the opposite tune. For people like you who like to sing opposite tunes, you should suppress them vigorously."

Yan Yuntong felt unfairly wronged, "I am afraid of being tired of my mother."

"Mother will never feel tired when holding a wedding for her own son. You stupid!"

Yan Yunge finally cursed, it’s great!

Yan Yuntong was so angry that she was crazy, "Where am I stupid? I clearly have a kind heart."

"Good intentions to do bad things."

Yan Yunge's words made a critical hit.

Yan Yun is so tired when he is united.

Yan Yunge laughed, "Look at me, I only follow my mother. Even if I have different opinions, I will only raise it at the right time. What about you, no matter what you say, who is not stupid?"

"Yes, yes, I'm a fool."

Yan Yuntong was speechless and surrendered directly.

To be honest, he can't tell the fourth sister.

This is a profound lesson obtained with blood and tears, and he kept it in mind.

He asked again, "Then what should I do?"

"Travel around, drink and socialize, be familiar with the capital, make connections. If you like someone, send an invitation."

Yan Yunge said casually, and Yan Yuntong took it seriously.

He ran to the Imperial Academy to find Chen Shuwen, asked Chen Shuwen to be his guide, and took him around the capital.

drought!

The huge capital city is also in a state of sluggishness, as if the vitality is about to be cut off.

Walking on the street, pedestrians walked in a hurry and looked sad.

The price of grain has increased, but wages have been falling again and again.

Too many people are looking for work, and their wages are suppressed.

The income decreased but the expenses increased. As the small citizens of the capital under the feet of the emperor, they also lived in a difficult situation and were in danger.

Many people have been having a full meal for a long time.

Everyone's face is full of food.

If you can't even eat enough, don't expect to eat meat.

There is no oil in my stomach, this is a difficult life!

During the famine, meat prices took advantage of the trend and rose.

Because there is no food to raise poultry, pigs and sheep.

As the source of meat is reduced, meat prices will naturally rise.

After wandering around the capital for a few days, Yan Yuntong suddenly lost interest.

Everyone is lifeless and has a garish face. I really can't stand it and there is nothing good to look at.

People yearn for vitality and feel happy even if they don’t participate in the market.

When you see the deadness, your mood will also be affected.

This is nature.

Chen Shuwen sighed, "The people's livelihood is so difficult, but the court has no effective disaster relief measures."

As a student of the Imperial Academy, his life was not affected by disasters.

I just couldn't stand the capital in such a state of decline.

As a student of the Imperial Academy who will become an official in the future, he feels a sense of responsibility in his heart.

Yan Yuntong said casually: "Brother Shuwen might as well join forces with his classmates and write to the court to ask the court to open the Beijing Cang and provide disaster relief."

Chen Shuwen frowned, "I heard that there is no grain in Jinggar, and I also have to store grain and grass for the winter."

Yan Yuntong heard this and sneered, "How come Jingcang has no grain? Do you know how much imperial village has? How much grain is in Shaofu earned in a year? Why didn't the royal family go hungry? There is food, but it can't be taken out. You have to ensure that the princes and nobles have enough food."

Chen Shuwen frowned.

He is not an angry young man who doesn't know anything but does things with all his passion.

Although he did not witness the family's growth from prosperity to decline with his own eyes, he also experienced the hardships of the people and saw his former mansion turn into a house for others, with plaques hanging on others' doors.

I have experienced other people's rolling eyes and contempt.

It is difficult to know how difficult it is for a person to live in the world with a decent attitude.

Therefore, he cherishes everything he has now.

Before doing things, he must consider the consequences and what impact it has on his or her family.

Because he has no way out.

He has no wealth of wealth, so he cannot tolerate his willfulness.

He whispered: "Princess Chengyang sent grain to help His Highness the Third Prince come out of Beijing to provide disaster relief. Is it possible that this batch of grain will be kept in the capital to suppress the grain prices in the capital. As long as the grain prices drop, the people can take a breath."

Yan Yuntong raised his eyebrows, "Do you think it's possible? Let Princess Chengyang pay for food to suppress the price of grain in the capital, who will be the credit? Who will calculate the losses? What are the benefits for her? Who will subsidize her losses?"

After saying that, he patted Chen Shuwen on the shoulder, "Don't think too simple. The rise in grain prices is not a simple price issue. It involves all aspects and the interests of countless people. As long as it doesn't rain, the prices of grain will continue to rise. There are countless hands behind it, holding the prices of grain, and never let the prices of grain fall."

Chen Shuwen smiled bitterly, he understood this principle.

As grain prices rise, it is naturally because the families behind them are getting rich.

It is said that there is shortage of food.

Little do they know that the food in the aristocratic family warehouse can't be eaten up for decades.

Is there a shortage of food?

In fact, there is no shortage of food.

However, the food is in the hands of a few people, and they are unwilling to take it out to stabilize the food price.

The court was powerless and did not have enough food to stabilize prices.

Perhaps, someone deceived the emperor and refused to let the emperor come forward to calm the food price.

Does the emperor know whether Jingcang has any food?
