Once the government intervenes in any matter, everything will be handled and resolved quickly, especially under the supervision of the princes in the court.
The prefect had just ordered someone to bring those people in. Yinzhen only said one sentence to them, and those people repeatedly promised not to lower the price of grain and to buy it at the right price.
In less than half a day, food prices in the entire Shanxi region returned to normal, and the people cheered.
They soon learned that all these things happened because of Yinzhen, and therefore everyone in Shanxi praised him.
However, these were not what Yinzhen wanted. After the grain prices stabilized, he went to Jiazigou Village with Jiang Ranli and Linghu Shiyi, met the old man, and saw the conditions of Jiazigou Village and several surrounding villages.
Jiang Ranli found the village heads of these places, proposed to build schools for them, and sent them a lot of subsidies.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ranli, Yin'er, and Linghu Shiyi visited several villages and provided different kinds of help.
Therefore, their voices in Shanxi are louder.
Shaanxi and Shanxi are adjacent to each other, and the news spread quickly. Then, people began to find Yinzhen and told him that Shaanxi was facing the same dilemma as Shanxi before, with illegal merchants lowering the price of grain.
Yinzhen was deeply disgusted by this and immediately summoned the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, ordering him to conduct a thorough investigation and provide a lot of help to some poor areas in Shaanxi.
When these things were done, it was already mid-August. Jiang Ranli and Yin'er had been out for nearly three months, and people in the capital had already known about their departure.
"Master Jiu, Concubine Concubine, are you really leaving? Can you stay a few more days?"
The villagers gathered in front of Jiang Ranli and Yin'er's carriage, looking at them reluctantly.
When Linghu Shiyi saw this, he said, "Master Jiu and his concubine have important matters to attend to in Beijing, so they can't stay here for long. I hope everyone can understand this."
The villagers naturally knew that Yinlang and Jiang Ranli could not stay here for long, but they just couldn't bear to let them go. However, even if they were reluctant, there was nothing they could do.
So, they expressed their gratitude and reluctance to Jiang Ranli and Yin'er in their own way.
Carrying a bag full of various specialties and gifts, Jiang Ranli and Yin'er set out on their journey back to Beijing.
They said goodbye to Linghu Shiyi and Wu Yanqing on the official road, and then the carriage sped away.
It was mid-September when they returned to the capital. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were called into the palace by the people who had been guarding there early.
The two men knelt in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with their heads lowered, not daring to look at Emperor Kangxi sitting on the dragon throne.
"Aren't you two more eloquent and intelligent than each other? Why are you silent now?" Emperor Kangxi looked at the two exhausted people with a serious look.
Hearing what Emperor Kangxi said, Jiang Ranli and Yin'er lowered their heads even more. No matter how eloquent they were, they didn't dare to speak carelessly in front of the angry Emperor Kangxi.
However, I have to keep silent, otherwise Emperor Kangxi will be even more angry.
"In reply to Your Majesty, I know I was wrong and have nothing to say. I still ask Your Majesty to punish me," Yinzhen spoke first and admitted his mistake directly.
Emperor Kangxi snorted heavily, then turned his gaze to Jiang Ranli, "You say that too."
Sensing the stern gaze above his head, Jiang Ranli swallowed and said, "In reply to the emperor, we know we were wrong and we hope to be punished by the emperor."
After saying that, Jiang Ranli imitated Yin'er, bent down and put his head on the floor tiles.
