"Fortunately, His Majesty is wise and discovered the problem. Otherwise, we wouldn't have rice to cook this winter and would have had to buy rice at high prices again!"
"Now that Yang Guang has fallen, we'll be able to eat rice at normal prices this winter!"
This is what everyone considers the best outcome.
However.
Ye Ling, however, announced this to the people on the execution platform!
"Fellow citizens!"
"I heard everything you just said!"
"Rest assured, everyone, I will place the rice that Yang Guang hoarded in grain stores of all sizes!"
"This winter! If there's no rice left to cook at home!"
"Take your household registration certificate directly to the relevant government office and collect the corresponding rice coupons based on the number of people in your household!"
"After receiving the rice coupons, you can go to the grain store to get rice for free."
"Each household can receive rice once every two weeks! We guarantee that the rice you receive once will be enough to last you for two weeks!"
The people immediately clapped and cheered upon hearing this!
"We thought the best outcome would be that we could buy rice at the normal price, but we never expected that we could get rice for free!"
"Great! This winter, we can save money on rice!"
"Your Majesty is truly brilliant! This measure will also prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to continuously collect free rice and then resell it at a high price!"
"His Majesty's arrangement truly ensures fairness and justice, allowing those who cannot afford rice to eat it, and preventing those who want to take advantage of the situation from doing so!"
"I'm a little worried that the grain merchants might use the excuse that all the free rice has been claimed, but actually they'll sell the free rice as their own for profit! That would be no different from Yang Guang!"
"What you can think of, His Majesty has certainly thought of as well!"
"That's right. Every grain store that brings in free rice is definitely recorded! And there are people specifically monitoring it!"
"If the final figures don't match the numbers received by the people, the emperor will definitely behead him! With corrupt officials like Yang Guang meeting their end, before falsifying data, one should first consider how many heads one has to lose!"
"But what if we run out of free rice?"
"Of course we'll buy it! Rice prices this winter definitely won't be as high as usual!"
"That's right! We can't just keep thinking about getting something for nothing! The emperor has already exempted us from taxes for ten years! Now he's giving us free rice. Not every emperor can do that!"
"His Majesty has done his best to put the people's interests first. Now, we must rely on our own hard work!"
"That's right, even if it's a bit hard, you definitely won't starve to death. It's the lazybones who will starve!"
Ye Ling stared coldly at Yang Guang.
The token was thrown out.
"Execute them!"
The executioner raised his blade and brought it down!
One hundred corrupt officials!
They were all beheaded!
