The northern barbarians were not only rude and barbaric, but also quite treacherous and cunning. Originally, the northern barbarians were not good at attacking cities, but they knew human nature and had spent a lot of money to bribe the scum among the Han people to secretly open the city gates for them.
Although the capital's defenses are tight, we cannot ignore this possibility.
I have been so busy these days that I almost forgot about this...
Gu Mingzhen looked at Xia Daohua gently and couldn't help but feel that this girl was his lucky star.
When the "late emperor" was making trouble, he was ready to risk his life to give advice, and he was sure that if he really did so, he might have become a corpse by now.
If Xia Daohua had not uncovered the inside story of the matter and had placed her trust in him, handing the two men over to him so that he could properly resolve the matter, now, let alone becoming the Prince Regent, who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, he might not even be able to keep his body intact!
The more Gu Mingzhen thought about it, the tenderer his eyes became when he looked at Xia Daohua.
Xia Daohua felt it, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy - what was this guy thinking? Lao Wei and Gu Mingzhen were the same. Did these people take the wrong medicine? Why were they looking at me with such kind eyes?
The young emperor also listened to Xia Daohua's advice and thought that every official in the court should pay some money to purchase food and weapons, as well as to pay wages to the laborers...
An official who is truly honest, self-disciplined, poor and destitute can pay less or nothing, but he will not make this clear in advance.
As for those who were extremely wealthy but stingy, he also planned to deal with them one by one - a new official has three things to do when he takes office, let alone him, the new emperor?
Although he is still just a child and has just ascended the throne, the ministers do not take him seriously; although he was born in a wealthy family and has no money, he has always been indifferent to gold, silver and jewelry; although whether it is the national treasury or the private treasury, it is used to the best of its ability to guard the capital, and it is all due...
However, defending the capital city is not just his job.
It is obvious that everyone living in this capital city has the responsibility to defend their territory!
He might be able to keep those who are watching from the faction, might be able to keep those who force him with memorials like snowflakes because of different political views, might be able to keep those who are greedy, stupid, and confused, but he will never let go of those who collude with the northern barbarians, forget their ancestors, and collaborate with the enemy to sell out their country!
The little emperor's solemn and murderous look made Xia Daohua struggle to hold back her laughter again.
Although she had just pushed the little emperor's chubby cheeks twice in a fit of impulse, this kind of thing should not happen again.
Although the little emperor is young and still somewhat naive, he is already the emperor after all, and he is now at the age when he has to save face. It would be bad if he really holds a grudge.
Although I am not afraid, there is really no need to do so!
After some further discussion, they decided on a plan of action.
Xia Daohua was planning to open an affordable grain store. She didn't even need to look for a shop, she could just use the little emperor's. She could use the staff that she trusted, or she could ask the little emperor to staff them all.
Xia Daohua chose the latter without hesitation.
No one could take away her ability, and employing a few of the little emperor's men meant she had complete trust in him.
The front facade of the grain shop sells grain to the common people. When grain prices fluctuate greatly in the market, grain is sold at a fair price, but purchases are limited based on household registration.
The back door of the grain store can supply military rations. The food needed by the troops can be transported from here without affecting the business in the front.
You can buy as much as you want, just pay a deposit first and settle on a monthly basis.
Gu Mingzhen sent people out of the city to contact the various troops that came to support the king, informing them that the military and civilians in the capital had already started to save themselves, and that the city would cooperate in whatever way they needed.
At this point, Xia Daohua couldn't help but blurt out: "Didn't they say that the Northern Barbarian Army has surrounded the capital? Then how can our warriors, and Prince Xin, get out of the city?"
