A few days later, a storm of attacks against local officials suddenly broke out in the central court.

It vaguely involves some court bosses.

Queen Tao was obviously relieved and was hit by her eldest son Xiao Chengwen again.

The emperor accepted her opinion and planned to start a massacre in the officialdom.

However, he was still a little braver and did not dare to burn the war to the court or to some extremely heavy-weight officials of aristocratic families.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Queen Tao felt very uncomfortable and felt uncomfortable again.

She felt uncomfortable not because of the emperor, but because of her eldest son Xiao Chengwen.

Everything is in his calculations.

He wanted to start a bloody massacre in the officialdom, so he seized the opportunity of natural disasters and man-made disasters and encouraged her.

Through her, the emperor was motivated.

What does he want to do?

Are you really sharing the worries of the country, the people and the court?

Queen Tao asked her question, "What should I do next?"

Young Master Mei was a little panicked, "Is the Empress worried about the Second Highness again?"

Queen Tao gently tapped the table, "He is out of control. I can't control him, and Your Majesty may not be able to truly control him. What do you think he wants to do? Kill a group of officials to relieve the disaster, what after?"

Young Master Mei was a little scared, and he said carefully: "Are you too worried about Empress?"

"Do you think too much about this palace?"

"I don't dare!"

Empress Tao laughed at herself, "I also hope that I would think too much, and I hope that he just wants to share the worries of the court. But have you ever noticed his eyes? His eyes have no emotional fluctuations. How could a person without a conscience suddenly become kind to the people?"

Mei Shaojian felt his lips were dry and his throat was dry and he felt uncomfortable. "The Empress was so worried recently, so it would be better to take a few days off. When the Third Prince returns from disaster relief, the situation in the capital will be very different."

Queen Tao is not that optimistic.

She looked outside the door. The sky was gloomy and she felt stuffy and no rain fell.

"God, the drought will continue. Your Majesty's move to the officialdom can solve the urgent problem, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. If this drought lasts for a year or two, what will happen?"

Young Master Mei dared not think deeply, "I don't know!"

Empress Tao smiled coldly, waved her long sleeves, and said loudly: "At that time, the world will be full of war and the country of the Great Wei will be in danger. Your Majesty will become a sinner of the Great Wei Dynasty."

"Not to it, not to it! Empress, be careful of your words!" Mei Shaojian was so panicked that he said unstoppable, and his words blurted out.

Queen Tao did not argue with him, "This palace is not nonsense. There are signs of everything here. Even without this drought, problems will arise sooner or later. As far as I know, private land rent has been received by 60%, or even 70%, and in some places it is as high as 80%. Such a high land rent is clearly to force people to the point of desperate situation."

Mei Shaojian smiled bitterly, "What's wrong with Empress today? Why do you suddenly care about the sufferings of people's livelihood?"

Empress Tao solemnly said: "The Great Wei Dynasty is the country of Your Majesty and the country of Saburo. I hope he will take over a rich country, not a country full of holes."

"The Empress has trouble!"

Queen Tao sighed, "However, as a woman, I cannot leave the palace easily."

There are many things she cannot do, she can only use them to pretend to be.

She ordered Mei Shaojian, "Start at Erlang for me and start the stakes buried in the Second Prince's Mansion. I should know what he said and what he was busy with every day."

Young Master Mei hesitated, "Are you sure the empress wants to start the stake? Would you be too risky?"

After finally burying a few hidden stakes in the Second Prince's Mansion, if it is started, the years of arrangements may very likely be gone.

Queen Tao suddenly turned around and stared at Mei Shaojian with a bad look, "You can do whatever you ask me to do. Don't question my decision."

Mei Shaojian bowed and responded.

...

Xiao Chengwen is busy reading, fishing, and coaxing his daughter every day.

He is very busy!

Yan Yunqi asked him, "On the day my second brother got married, will your highness want to attend the wedding banquet with me?"

The reason why I asked this is because Xiao Chengwen was weak and did not like the excitement. He had hardly attended any banquets in recent years, and Yan Yunqi alone represented the prince's mansion.

Xiao Chengwen was teasing the child.

A few months old child is so cute.

As long as someone plays with you, your teethless gums will be exposed and your smile will be extremely happy.

He didn't raise his head and said directly: "On the day of the wedding banquet, I will show up with you."

Yan Yunqi was surprised, "Your Highness is serious?"

Xiao Chengwen nodded, "Take it seriously! Yun Tong gets married, as long as your highness can hold on, he will definitely attend."

Yan Yunqi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness! I will send someone to send a letter to my fourth sister and ask her to make arrangements in advance."

While teasing the child, Xiao Chengwen said, "No need to be so troublesome. I can support a banquet."

"Thank you your highness."

"You and I, you, don't be polite."

...

Yan Yunge has been very busy and poor recently.

She was busy sharing the burden for her mother Xiao and preparing everything she needed for the wedding banquet.

Poor is because the impact of natural disasters is really in all aspects, and no one can escape this natural disaster.

Compared with the same period last year, the business of mixed soups in the north and south has dropped by 80%.

It was so hot last summer, but the business was pretty good.

Miscellaneous soup that costs two cents a bowl is still very popular. After all, it is oily and water, so you can eat meat.

This year……

Don't mention it!

I can’t afford to eat rice, so I can’t afford to eat mixed soup.

Fugui Villa is even worse.

The autumn harvest is approaching the capital.

This year's output can basically be estimated.

Almost 60% or 70% of the production was reduced.

These two places are Yan Yunge's income, but they were all cut in half.

On the contrary, the pickles from grocery stores in the north and south are actually better than in previous years.

Everyone can’t afford meat or fresh vegetables and fruits.

Cheap and pickles with salt have become the first choice for the majority of ordinary people in the market.

The pickles from the north and south grocery stores are a little more expensive than other stores, but they are still very easy to sell.

Yan Yunge couldn't understand the situation.

"Everyone has no money in his pocket, and he still buys north-south pickles that are more expensive than other stores?"

She was very confused.

The home pickles taste really good, after all, they are rich in ingredients. They add a lot of spices to mix the taste of pickles.

However, in this year, a penny is worth a penny.

How come so many people are willing to buy more expensive pickled vegetables from the north and south?

Yan Mu gave her the answer.

"Miss I don't know that our North-South pickles are real and we are willing to use salt. The price of salt has skyrocketed, which is even more crazy than the price of grain. North-South pickles contain sufficient salt, and even if they are a little bit expensive, it is very cost-effective. Moreover, our North-South pickles taste good. Eating a few bites will make you salivate and satisfying your cravings. Everyone says that the most enjoyable thing every day is to eat a bite of North-South pickles."

oh!

Yan Yunge suddenly realized.

"Everyone uses north and south pickles as salt."

“That’s right!”

In addition to the good business of pickles, the furniture from the north and south grocery stores also sells very well.

To be precise, the coffin boards are sold well.

That's right!

The north and south grocery store is a real grocery, selling everything, and coffin boards are also sold.

There are many carpenters in Fugui Villa, and they have not done much work this year, so they just beat the coffin board.
