Li Cheng jumped off his horse, took two steps at a time, and shook Song Sanzhu forward to wake him up.
"Master, wake up, Master, wake up."
Song Sanzhu was dazed. When he heard Li Cheng's voice, he shrank back and muttered, "Ah Cheng, it's a bit cold tonight. Bring me a blanket."
As he said this, he turned over and continued to sleep while hugging the horse's legs.
Li Cheng said helplessly: "Master, the eldest lady is here."
"Ah?" Song Sanzhu was startled and quickly got up. .
He shivered as soon as he woke up. It was so cold in spring and he slept wrapped in a cloak. He was so cold!
Song Jinxiu looked down at her shivering father, suppressed her anger, and asked in surprise, "Why are you sleeping here?"
Song Sanzhu was stunned and finally came to his senses.
Yes, he is going to southern Xinjiang to look for his eldest son.
But why is my daughter here?
Could it be that my daughter was passing by here on business? Maybe that girl doesn't know that she's going to southern Xinjiang yet?
He stammered, "Why am I like this? Am I, am I sleepwalking?"
Song Jinxiu's face suddenly darkened: "What do you say? Humph! Have you become so capable? You're leaving home. It's just that you're not comfortable staying in the capital, so I'll let you go back to your hometown, okay?"
Song Sanzhu suddenly panicked, "I, I'm not going back home, I just want to find your brother."
Song Jinxiu stared at him. "My brother is fighting, why are you going there? Are you going to distract him from taking care of you?"
Song Sanzhu cried, "I was scared because your brother was going to the war. I just wanted to be closer to your brother. I thought I had money, so I rented a small yard in the border town. When your brother went to the war, I would wait for him there. When he came back from the war, I could see that his arms and legs were intact, and I could sleep well."
Song Jinxiu gave him a deep look: Do you know how to worry about your son?
This scumbag dad is completely different from before, has he been stimulated by something?
He's even worse than the heartless idiot he used to be. How could I be so cruel as to ignore him?
Song Sanzhu fell ill after being captured by Song Jinxiu and brought back to Beijing. After all, it was chilly spring weather and he was sleeping outdoors. It would be strange if he didn't get sick.
Li Cheng fed him the medicine and asked curiously, "Master, did you take your luggage before you leave?"
Song Sanzhu said: "I took it, but then I couldn't run anymore, so I threw it away."
Li Cheng asked him again: "Can't you take a carriage? Or ride a good horse?"
Song Sanzhu shook his head and said, "All our carriages have been requisitioned by the court. We only have two old horses left at home. My daughter still rides on them to go to court."
He lowered his voice and said with a proud look on his face: "The horse I'm riding is a military horse after all, and I've seen that this horse has good temperament and is a good military horse. I'll ride it slowly, and when we get to southern Xinjiang, the horse's legs will be healed, so I can give it to my son."
Song Jinxiu listened under the window for a while. This scumbag father, isn't he very cunning? Unfortunately, my brain circuit is not normal.
The pills produced by the pill factories working overtime have been sent to the battlefield one after another.
The prices of food and medicinal materials continued to rise, especially the pills of Zaichuntang, the price of which increased several times.
Even so, their business is in short supply. After all, those who can afford pills are not short of money.
Moreover, the prices set by Jindan Pharmacy in the past were affordable and occupied most of the market, so even if Zaichuntang wanted to raise the price, it couldn't.
Now that they are no longer constrained by the Golden Elixir Pharmacy, they have completely let themselves go.
That day, Junjun reported: "Master, the Cui and Li families are stockpiling medicinal materials. Their warehouses have a large amount of hemostatic grass, isatis root, bupleurum, and Panax notoginseng..."
Song Jinxiu nodded: "Well, don't alert the enemy, let her stock up, and wait until she has stockpiled enough, then you can take action."
The treasure-hunting mouse Junjun was so happy that he lifted his tail. "Hehe, Master, don't worry. I have taken note of the granary. When will we start?"
Junjun has already found out that the increase in grain prices in Mou County and Wei County was caused by the Ji family behind the scenes.
Mou County and Wei County have the highest grain prices.
Since they were so heartless, she requisitioned the food they had stored.
As food prices continue to soar in various places, it is now a time of shortage, and the common people are living in dire straits and complaining.
In the imperial court, petitions from various places requesting the court to release grain had piled up into a mountain.
Liu Renxiu and all the ministers looked worried.
The Minister of Revenue said: "I have organized merchants to raise funds, but the amount is limited. That little grain is just a drop in the bucket for the current situation. It is really not possible. We can only release the grain to avoid riots."
Minister of War Zhou Kunran said: "Your Majesty, can't we release the grain? Now that the weather has warmed up, the crops in the fields have turned green. I really have nothing to eat. I can dig wild vegetables and grass roots to fill my stomach. At least I won't starve to death.
The grain in the national treasury is used as military reserve rations. Can't move. ”
Cangwu does not have much grain stored each year. Last year, it traded with Beirong and received some grain. Now that the war has broken out, the grain is naturally in short supply.
Thinking of this, Zhou Kunran glanced at Song Jinxiu with complaint, "If we hadn't traded with Beirong, we wouldn't be so strapped for cash."
Pingyang Hou Chenpi quickly impeached Song Jinxiu: "Your Majesty, Song Daji is still young. Her ideas are novel, but they are inevitably biased and she cannot take the overall situation into consideration. She is half responsible for the food shortage this time. It is better to demote her as a punishment."
Prime Minister Wei Zhen said: "Although the idea was proposed by Xiao Song, the decision was made by all of us together. Didn't you have any opinions at the time? How can you blame her alone?"
The Minister of Revenue said: "Yes, we should be punished together."
Pingyang Hou couldn't stand Song Jinxiu and originally wanted to marry her home as his eldest grandson's wife, but his unpromising grandson refused to agree.
Since I can't bring her home to be my granddaughter-in-law, I can't spoil her anymore. I will naturally not miss the opportunity to take advantage of her misfortune.
But he didn't expect that this little girl actually had someone to protect her. He wouldn't let himself be punished for her.
"I say that the trade is a wrong choice. Now that we are suffering from famine, the Northern Rong people are probably laughing at us. The punishment will naturally be imposed on Song Da."
Sima Qin agreed, "Yes, the bishop of Kangle County is good at teaching mathematics, but she said something like opening a trade fair, just like playing house. I'm afraid you have been fooled by her."
He had no evidence, but his sixth sense told him that Song Jinxiu had tricked him.
As for the Sima family, they have had a very bad time recently. Anyone who has anything to do with Princess Kangle has either been dismissed from office or imprisoned.
놚 said Song Jinxiu was not targeting them, and he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Song Jinxiu couldn't help but sneered, "Tsk, you don't think of ways to solve the difficulties, but just complain and shirk responsibility. Lord Chen, you are not only stupid, but also selfish."
Chen Pi's face turned red, and he pointed at Song Jinxiu and said, "I am selfish? Is it my fault that the treasury has no food now? Find a way to solve it. If there is no food in the treasury, can I change it?"
The son-in-law Sima Qin said: "Yes, could it be possible that Princess Kangle can turn into food?"
If she could really turn food into food, then the storehouse in the Grand Princess's Mansion might have been emptied by her.
