[As expected of a high-ranking official, he actually donated so much silver. Suddenly, I feel that my fifty taels of silver are really not enough, but that is also my intention! ]
After the original body became an official, he sent all the money he had back to his parents and brother in his hometown, so Shen Zhiyi didn't actually have much money.
She turned on the monitoring system and tuned directly to Jiangnan at the moment.
[It's miserable. It's really miserable. ]
[All the crops in the fields withered and died, and the ground was dry and cracked.]
[The victims, without food or water, rushed to the nearby city, but were blocked outside by local officials.]
[The people in the city also had a hard time. Food and water were all controlled by officials and wealthy businessmen. A grain of rice could be sold for ten taels of silver.]
Many people in the hall subconsciously took a breath of cold air.
[Officials refused to release food, and the people who could not survive actually started to eat it raw...]
【Ahhhhhhhh!】
Shen Zhiyi closed his eyes and turned off the system during the day for the first time.
[It’s terrible.]
Her lips were pale and she was shaking uncontrollably, as if she had seen something extremely frightening.
The high-ranking officials who could stand in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were basically above the fifth rank, and each of them was a smart person. They immediately understood what Shen Zhiyi had seen.
There was a severe drought throughout the country, and people in the disaster-stricken areas had to exchange their children for food.
Everyone was silent.
The old emperor was furious.
Prime Minister Wang stood up from his chair with the help of a cane.
Because of his advanced age, Prime Minister Wang obtained permission from the old emperor to sit on the chair.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to buy rice."
[Prime Minister Wang’s wife is a businessman and knows many rice merchants.]
The old emperor was overjoyed and kept praising: "With a minister like you who cares about the people, Daye will surely survive this crisis safely."
Later, more and more ministers donated a lot of silver and money, and it turned out that the civil and military officials alone had almost raised enough money.
The old emperor was so happy that after the court session, he walked with a breeze and his stomachache was gone.
[This is really awesome. Prime Minister Wang is rich because his wife is rich. How much money must the rest of the people have taken?]
The old emperor paused and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
He remembers all the donation amounts.
It’s not a good idea to touch them now. Once this storm passes, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
The next day, the prince left with a group of people.
The old emperor also knew about the situation of the prince from time to time from Shen Zhiyi.
"This Shen Zhiyi is indeed a treasure from heaven. With her here, even if she is thousands of miles away, no, even if she is tens of thousands of miles away, she is within reach for me."
"Everything is going well with the prince. The corrupt officials have been beheaded, the people have food, and society is stable. Good! Good, good!"
The old emperor paced back and forth happily in the Purple Palace.
The corner of his eye noticed Zhang Sheren writing furiously, and he hurriedly said, “Don’t write it in, Shen Zhiyi!”
Zhang Sheren bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I know what I am doing."
The old emperor nodded in satisfaction, sat back on his dragon chair, took a sip of tea, and asked, "What is that kid Shen Zhiyi doing now?"
Chen Decai's face was full of smiles: "Chen Lang usually stays at home when he's off duty."
"What is she doing at home alone?"
"This, this old slave doesn't know."
What else can Shen Zhiyi do? Of course, watch TV.
She specially asked a carpenter to make a wooden sofa for her own home, and then put a lot of thick mattresses and pillows on it. She could lie on it and watch the surveillance video, feeling very comfortable.
[In the West Market Stables, in broad daylight, someone was actually doing something shameless. ]
Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to turn over, he saw a fat woman holding a butcher knife in her hand, walking aggressively into the house next to the stable.
She smelled gossip.
[He must be here to catch an adulterer! ]
[Oops, you've come to the wrong place, look at the stables, there's a man and a woman, they must be the couple you're looking for!]
[But why does this fat woman look familiar? ]
Shen Zhiyi ruffled his messy hair, trying his best to figure out who was on the other side.
Uncomfortable.
This thought reminded me of the evening meeting with the old emperor.
She held a brush in one hand and a notebook in the other, seemingly paying close attention to the old emperor's words and actions, but in fact her mind had already flown away.
She was still thinking about the fat woman she saw during the day.
A row of black lines appeared on the old emperor's forehead.
What a fat woman.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess is outside seeking an audience."
"Let her in."
[Sixth Princess?]
Shen Zhiyi clapped her hands fiercely, she remembered!
[The old emperor had eight daughters in total, and the sixth princess was his favorite besides the eldest princess, because she was plump and looked like she was raised in a good family. Every time the old emperor saw her, he felt that his efforts were not in vain. Look at his offspring, how strong they are.]
The old emperor stroked his beard proudly and looked at his sixth daughter, who weighed about 200 pounds. He became happier and happier as he looked at her.
You are so good-looking, you are so blessed.
The order is good, everything goes smoothly.
"Dashun, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Dad, I suspect that Lao Ba has been kidnapped."
"puff."
The old emperor, who had just poured a mouthful of tea into his mouth, spat it all out, right on the face of his very lucky daughter.
"Are you serious?"
The Sixth Princess nodded firmly, "Dad, I'm serious. I looked for the Eighth for a long time yesterday but couldn't find him."
[Looking for Lao Ba? Aren't you going to catch an adulterer? ]
Old Emperor: ???
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
He asked someone to bring the portrait of the Eighth Princess and give it to the Sixth Princess.
"Dashun, you need a portrait to find someone. Did you get Lao Ba's portrait yesterday?"
"No."
"Okay, take the portrait and we'll look for it again."
[This portrait also looks familiar. ]
The old emperor quickly turned the portrait around, deliberately facing Shen Zhiyi's direction so that she could see it clearly.
The disappearance of the princess was a big deal. If she was really missing, someone would have reported it to him long ago, but no one did. This meant that Lao Ba was not missing at all, but was deliberately hiding from Dashun.
Who knows what happened to these two sisters.
He quickly asked Shen Zhiyi to tell him the whole story so that he could think about what to say later.
[Hey, isn't this the girl who clapped her hands for love with the man with eight-pack abs in the stable during the day? Is she the Eighth Princess? Then who is this man? ]
Old Emperor: Why does this ominous premonition become stronger?
"Dashun, tell me the truth, are you really looking for your eighth sister?"
"Of course, Dad, how can your daughter lie to you?"
[Oh my god, is this the royal family? ]
【This is the Royal Family! 】
Chen Decai and the Dragon Scale Guards hiding in the dark both covered their ears skillfully.
[This man with eight-pack abs, you are so easy to find. You are actually the consort of the Sixth Princess. ]
[I was saying it, who would go to find the Eighth Princess with a butcher knife? It's obvious that he was going to catch her cheating! ]
