Chapter 147 The situation has not improved



In the next few days, the prices of goods sold in major stores in the capital dropped significantly.

The prices are even lower than before the influx of disaster victims.

But this did not alleviate the plight of nearly 100,000 disaster victims. Instead, it caused the people who originally lived in the capital to start buying on a large scale.

This price reduction is a once-in-a-century opportunity for them.

As for the resettlement of disaster victims, there has been no improvement.

Because even if we have money, we cannot accommodate so many disaster victims. This is an unsolvable problem.

This is just the capital. The situation in Dingzhou and Yunzhou is probably even more dire.

But Zhao Hao had no way to deal with these.

He is not a god.

It is impossible to conjure up houses, food, or clothes.

However, there was still something he could do.

On that day, Zhao Wenxiang had no residence yet. Since the influx of disaster victims, he had been so busy that he had not returned home once.

Zhao Hao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he went to the Neishi Yamen.

He also had to do something about this disaster.

Even if one person is saved, it is still a life.

When they arrived at the Neishi Yamen, Zhao Wenxiang was not there.

Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly and could only go to the palace to ask to see Jiang Wan'er.

Four days had passed since his last attack.

During these four days, Jiang Wan'er did not summon him in order to avoid suspicion and to prevent printing technology from being associated with him.

It was only through Princess Yongning that he was praised again.

Upon hearing that Zhao Hao had arrived, Jiang Wan'er immediately had someone bring him in.

Zhao Hao would not do something without a purpose. The last time he came, he brought her the technique of movable type printing, which helped her turn around her disadvantageous position facing the aristocratic family.

You come again today, I'm afraid there is something important.

Eunuch Qu brought Zhao Hao in, and Jiang Wan'er waved her hand and asked Eunuch Qu to leave.

Then she stood up from behind the desk with a smile on her face and slowly walked towards Zhao Hao.

When Zhao Hao saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He then thought of the last time they met, when Jiang Wan'er pinched his face and he saluted her.

Then he took a breath, and his whole body tensed up.

Seeing his nervous expression, Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

She originally just wanted to get up and move around casually, but now seeing Zhao Hao so nervous, she suddenly wanted to tease him and walked straight towards Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao's eyelids twitched and he bowed quickly.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that he looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Jiang Wan'er stopped and couldn't help but secretly spit, and immediately gave up the idea of teasing Zhao Hao.

"Why did you come to see me?"

Seeing Jiang Wan'er stop, Zhao Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard the question, he quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, all the major stores in the Imperial Capital have reduced their prices in the past two days, but there doesn't seem to be much progress in providing relief to the disaster victims."

"Every day, many disaster victims either froze to death or starved to death. The victims were even distributed in every corner of the city."

"This won't work!"

Hearing him say this, Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

This kid can't stand being wronged, but he also has a kind heart.

very nice.

The noble families suppressed him and wanted to take away his share of the dry wine, but he said nothing at the time.

He turned around and started making paper, and invented the technique of movable type printing, in an attempt to cut off the roots of his family.

But when faced with the disaster victims outside, he felt sympathy for them.

He should be a completely better person now, no longer the arrogant and trouble-making idiot he used to be.

The most important thing is that this guy has incredible literary talent.

If that's the case, then it would make sense to marry that girl Yongning to him.

A good match.

"His Majesty?"

Jiang Wan'er's thoughts were wandering, and she was lost in thought when she heard Zhao Hao calling her softly. She came back to her senses and nodded.

Thinking of disaster relief, Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but frown and sigh.

"You're right. There are too many victims. Disaster relief is complicated and it's hard to know where to start."

"But it will get better soon. It's good that you are so anxious about it."

Zhao Hao's eyes flashed.

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Hao wanted to say more, but Jiang Wan'er waved her hand.

"Well, if you want to know the details of disaster relief, go ask your father."

"I won't tell you any more."

"You go back first!"

Seeing the deep fatigue between Jiang Wan'er's brows, Zhao Hao knew that he came at the wrong time.

He nodded immediately, bowed, and slowly walked out.

Looking at Zhao Hao's departing figure, Jiang Wan'er nodded with satisfaction.

However, this kid wanted to talk about disaster relief, maybe he really has some good ideas.

But I couldn't tell her.

Because she had already handed the matter over to Zuo Xiang, and then Zhao Wenxiang assisted.

These two, one is a leader among the ministers, and the other is her beloved and trusted right-hand man.

If Zhao Hao said something, it would indeed be helpful for disaster relief.

So if she gave the order, at most she, as the emperor, cared about the people, and nothing else mattered.

However, after Zhao Hao told Zhao Wenxiang the solution, the situation was completely different.

Zhao Wenxiang will gain greater reputation and receive greater praise through disaster relief.

In this way, the position will become more stable.

In this way, even if the aristocratic family wanted to take action against the father and son because of the printing technology, it would not be so easy.
