Qi Xiuyuan returned to the harem angrily, and ordered the imperial chef to use the tributes from Qian Nanjin to cook all the dishes that night, and all other dishes were not used. The treasury was empty and there was no money to waste.

It was almost after Qi Xiuyuan finished his dinner that what he said was spread outside. This time not only the courtiers who were officials in the court heard about it, but even the common people heard about it.

The second news is that the emperor praised Qiannan's 'Yigancao' for clearing the liver and suppressing qi. It is a good tea for clearing away heat and detoxifying.

The officials understood what the emperor meant, "The emperor is raising food for Qiannan."

Some courtiers felt disdainful, feeling that the emperor had placed his status too low and lost the dignity of the royal family, but more ministers were moved to tears and said: "It is really my luck to have this benevolent king, and the good fortune of you all. The good fortune of the people of the world."

All the ministers responded one after another and rushed to tell each other. They were not disgusted with the fact that Rongjun Wangfu yelled in the street. Instead, they asked the servants in the family to buy some Qiannan local specialties, and specifically asked for more money.

The courtiers of the former court didn't do anything, it wasn't that they didn't want to do nothing, who didn't become an official with lofty arrogance, and wanted to make a performance that would be famous in history?

But the atmosphere of the whole Great Zhou was like this, Emperor Jingyan didn't like government affairs, Qin Xiang controlled the government and did nothing, and those who took bribes were more valued than those who were clean and honest. Over time, everyone became lazy.

Now, although it is difficult for them to change their bad habits for a while, the exhausted pride in their hearts has revived again. Isn't it a blessing for them to meet Qi Xiuyuan, a monarch who has a heart for the people and is willing to use his talents?

Qi Xiuyuan didn't know that his act of anger unexpectedly won the loyalty of most of the courtiers.

The focus of the common people is different from that of the officials. They only think that the emperor is so poor?

When shopping, I have to inquire with the servants of Rongjun Prince's Mansion. Zhu Liang is clever. Thinking that the fourth master often shows the emperor's benevolence in front of people in Qiannan, he recruited a few clever servants to the side for simple training. A moment, so someone asked again, and the servants answered like this.

"Our uncle, that is, the emperor, was also rich in wealth back then. Not to mention, the amount of gold, silver and jewels he paid just because of so many bills with the gold man is unknown. Although our prince is worse than the emperor, the money is not worth it. Not to mention there is a cousin of An Guogong who can do business?"

"Then why is the emperor so poor that he eats these things?" The common people didn't believe it.

The servant sighed and said: "Our two masters of the Qi family are rich, but they couldn't hold back Da Zhou and emptied the national treasury. Then Prime Minister Qin didn't leave a single copper coin to the country. Don't you need money for food relief? Not for resettling refugees. Money? Aside from anything else, the court always needs to distribute grain seeds and support farm tools in the spring, right? All of this requires money? Where does the money come from? The emperor and our lord sold everything that could be sold from the very beginning, Mr. An Guogong Millions of family property was donated to Daqi."

"My dear..."

"In order to appease the hearts of the people, the emperor only knows about these things, and I only heard about them occasionally when our prince and An Guogong talked. You are not allowed to spread it. The emperor loves the people and is unwilling to waste money. Otherwise, you see, What do you want to be the emperor? Isn't it the beauty Qian Quan?"

"But our emperor has been on the throne for half a year, and there is still only one empress in the harem. Why? Isn't it because it costs money to fill the harem? I heard that now the emperor uses all the things that were in the hidden mansion before, and nothing has been added."

The common people love to listen to gossip, especially the gossip of the royal family, and they gathered together one after another. The voices of the lower people are kept very low, and only the few people in front of them can hear them.

He said: "Do you think that our palace sells Qiannan local products here to make money for ourselves? This is because the emperor is worried about the people's livelihood in Qiannan, and he can't bear the hardship of the people. The treasury can't pay a cent of silver, so we can only let our palace Find a way out for the people in Qiannan, but there are many miasma and poisonous insects in Qiannan, the emperor knows that the big guys are not at ease with these things, so he kept a copy for himself, used it first, and then sold it to you..."

The people burst into tears when they heard this, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's benevolence!" Knelt down on the ground in a huff, and the people behind didn't know why, but when they saw the people in front kneeling, they also knelt down one after another.

Zhu Liang rushed over, and slapped the boy on the head, wishing to stare him out of a hole. Seeing this, an old man stood up tremblingly, held Zhu Liang's hand, and cried: "Housekeeper, You can’t blame him, the emperor should tell us the hardships he endured for the people, why should we keep it a secret? This thing is good, you don’t need the emperor to try it out one by one, come, I’ll buy it, ten copies, ten copies of each item.”

"I want ten copies of each..."

"I want twenty copies."

The people behind also got up one after another, and squeezed forward with the money, Zhu Liang squeezed out a smile, and said: "Everyone, slow down, I will ask someone to clean up for you." He said while pulling the servant back.

The old man said worriedly: "You can't embarrass that little brother, he is also kind, and he told us because he couldn't bear to see us confused."

Zhu Liang pulled him back with a hasty smile, patted him on the head and said: "Who told you to talk nonsense? I taught you three sentences in total, and you told me a lot, thankfully you didn't mess things up. If you mess things up, ten of your heads won’t be enough to cut off.”

The servant shrank his neck and said: "Housekeeper, I know I was wrong, but just say three words according to your words, the people in front will never let me go..."

"You just need to keep silent and smile slightly, can they still force you? Go down and don't say a word."

Zhu Liang knew very well that the essence of hiding a half-sentence in a sentence is what people imagine. Originally, he only ordered his servants to pass on three sentences. Who knew that this kid didn't watch and said a lot of words. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, Just hope things are still under control, he is really just cheering up the royal family.

Unexpectedly, what the servant said only lasted one night, and the next day it spread throughout the streets and alleys. Everyone knew how miserable the emperor was. The souvenir was sold to raise food for the people in Qiannan.

The emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been absurd for several generations, especially Emperor Jingyan, who lived in Lin'an City for more than 20 years, has been absurd for more than 20 years. This is the first time for everyone to see such a difficult and reliable emperor, and they are all very moved. People who didn't want to buy Qiannan local specialties also flocked to the streets to buy some, as a reward for the amiable and lovely emperor.

On the third day, the more than 20 carts of souvenirs escorted by Zhu Liang were sold out, and the people who came from the neighboring prefectures and counties beat their feet and chests in the street without buying any, and wailed that they were late.

Zhu Liang's heart ached when he saw it. If he knew they would have bought more, so many people bought them, how much less money would they make? His distress was unbearable.
