The people who came here did not buy the cured pork and pickled vegetables that the emperor had eaten, but they brought back a royal legend, so after the people deliberately spread it, the story of the emperor eating bran-swallowed vegetables for the people spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and then went to the north , the central, western and southern spread past.

Qi Xiuyuan had unknowingly gained the loyalty of a large number of subjects. Only half a year after the founding of the country, the common people gradually had a sense of belonging to Da Qi. By the time the emperor knew about it, the news had spread to Qiannan, and the people of Qiannan gathered together on purpose. Bless the capital and thank the emperor for his love for them.

Liu Qing deliberately reported this matter to the emperor, Qi Xiuyuan sighed slightly when he got the booklet, and passed a good year in a happy mood, naturally this will happen in about a month.

At this time, Zhu Liang was happily supervising the accountant to seal all the money he earned into the treasury, and then the big lock was released, and a servant came to announce him into the palace.

Zhu Liang didn't dare to neglect, and hurried into the palace.

Because Zhu Liang was a domestic servant, Qi Xiuyuan met him directly in the harem and asked, "Are all the goods you brought sold out?"

"Going back to the emperor, yes, they are all sold out before noon today."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly, "How much did you earn?"

Zhu Liang hurriedly sent the account book that he had recorded today, Qi Xiuyuan directly turned to the last page, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are there so many?"

"The emperor's grace is mighty, all thanks to the emperor's blessing..."

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, and asked, "Do you want to buy food and go back immediately?"

"Yes, before coming here, the concubine specifically told me to leave as soon as possible, and it is best to return to Qiannan at the beginning of spring. The villagers are all waiting."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly, "Then you go down and prepare. When you are about to leave, send someone into the palace to say that I have something for you to bring to the prince and concubine."

"Yes." Zhu Liang bowed and stepped back.

Because the grain is purchased directly from the Fengshou Grain Store headquarters, the action is very fast. He can calculate the money here, and he can immediately take out the grain and load it into the car. In just two days, twenty-three carts of grain are bagged.

Wang Quan said distressedly: "I didn't expect that you could get so much money in exchange for those truckloads of goods, and almost emptied the grain storage."

Zhu Liang smiled and said: "Not long after, another batch will be shipped from the Northland. Are you still worried about the supply of grain for this grain store? When the autumn harvest comes, there will be more income from the prince's fiefdom, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Quan also smiled when he thought of this.

Qi Xiuyuan asked Li Jinghua to prepare a lot of good things, all of which were for food, and he packed five carts before giving up, two of which were for Fan Zijin. Nearly half of them, although they felt that he was too kind to Duke Anguo, king of Rong County, did not dare to speak out.

Zhu Liang had only been in Beijing for six days before heading south again. It was already the twenty-eighth day of Chinese New Year, so he could only celebrate the New Year on the road.

Because a lot of food was transported, the journey on the road was much slower. It took a full 21 days to reach Juzhou, and the carriage entered the city when it was surrounded by the people, making enthusiastic noises.

Zhu Liang was taken aback, thinking that it was refugees who were robbing food, he hurriedly asked someone to protect the convoy, but saw the common people knelt down in groups, and Xiaoting came quickly, saying: "Mr. Let you transport the food directly to the government office, and personally hand it over to Liu Zhifu to take care of it."

Liu Qingzao prepared two grain depots, and took Xu Zhizhou to inspect the grains before putting them into the warehouses.

After the handover, Zhu Liang went back to see Mu Yangling with the account book. Mu Yangling looked it over and said to Xiaoting: "Hurry up and go to the Miao Village, and inform Chief Ji'an to come tomorrow to get food for the elders and county officials who took the lead. Yadu sent a letter and asked them to come over, so that the servants who had been trained before are ready, and when they arrive tomorrow, they will start paying the bills."

Chief Ji'an came very quickly, and he arrived outside the mansion almost as soon as the city gate opened. Mu Yangling understood his mood and got up to do things.

Not long after dawn, the highly respected leaders who were in charge of the acquisition arrived one after another. In addition to those near Juzhou City, there were also people from two nearby state capitals. Their homes were far away from Juzhou, and some had to travel for three or four days. effort.

Because Zhu Liang would write to report his itinerary every three days, Mu Yangling sent someone to invite everyone five days ago. They had already lived in the inn, but they did not expect the They came later than Chief Ji'an, and everyone was a little embarrassed.

Chief Ji'an was full of smiles, just now he had inquired about the situation with the maid in the palace, all their goods had been sold, and there were twenty carts of grain brought back, so he couldn't help being unhappy.

Mu Yangling came out of the back hall and said straight to the point: "Please come this time, everyone. The food has been shipped back. Since we promised the folks, it must be fulfilled. Calling everyone today is to distribute the food."

Mu Yangling turned to look at Lichun, Lichun went out and brought three teams of servants over, and stood in the yard, and the people in the room whispered to each other.

Mu Yangling looked at them and said, "These are the servants of our palace who can settle accounts. Because the matter of repaying the food is important, it's not that I can't trust you, but it involves people's livelihood. I have to be careful and pay back the same as before. The same as before, each team is composed of the palace, government servants, and sages, and the sages are the main ones, and the food will be returned to the folks who have notes."

Mu Yangling got up and saluted the sages who were highly respected in the hall, and said: "You are all people who are respected by the people of the villages, and they are elected by them. This matter has been laborious for everyone. Afterwards, the palace will have a big thank you."

Everyone stood up and returned their salutes, "Princess, this is what we should do. It should be us thanking the emperor for his benevolence, and thanking the prince and concubine for their kindness."

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect the emperor to sit in the high hall, but he still misses me and the little people in the countryside."

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "The whole world is full of princes and ministers, no matter how remote and barren they are, they are also the emperor's subjects. How can the emperor not remember you?"

After Mu Yangling finished speaking, he asked people to take the account book and lead everyone to the grain depot to get the corresponding grain. At that time, the officials of the county government will be responsible for escorting it.

When the people left, Mu Yangling was free to entertain Chief Ji'an. Because the Miao village could get the most food, he didn't have to queue up with everyone, but divided it directly from Mu Yangling.

All the Miao people took notes in exchange for grain, and no one took the money, so the grain involved was the most. After some calculations, eleven carts of grain were taken away at once.

Chief Ji'an checked and saw that the quality of the coarse grains on the car passed the standard. He laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. Chen Jiacai didn't expect it to be so smooth. Those homely things that are available in every family in Miao Village can really be exchanged for so much. food.

Chief Ji'an asked his son-in-law to escort the food back first and distribute it to the Miao people, while he stayed behind. He looked at the Han people's convoy with a smile and found that they didn't move much. car, he became pensive and turned to look for Mu Yangling, "Princess Wangfei, why do you Han people take so little?"

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "When receiving the goods, many people chose to ask for copper plates, and there were not many people who changed notes."

Chief Ji'an's eyes lit up, "The remaining food..."
