"Uncle made a mistake, but we didn't do anything! Why should we be sent to the mine!"

"Slaves, please don't go to the Jiaofang Division! I beg your lord to be merciful, forgive me, and spare your servants!"

"Sir, forgive me!"

When some of the girls heard that they were going to be assigned to the Jiaofang Division, they all knelt on the ground and begged Fang Xiu for mercy.

Crying is extremely miserable!

Fang Xiu sneered when he heard this, and said, "When you enjoyed your blessings, why didn't you say that you didn't do anything?"

"Don't you think that all the money spent on weekdays falls from the sky!"

"Since I have received the favor of the guilty minister Zhang Shuo, I will naturally accept his appointment!"

When Fang Xiu said this, he didn't bother to pay attention to them, he waved his big hand and said: "Dian Wei, suppress them!"

"Whoever dares to make any more noise will go directly to the sky prison and be executed together with the guilty minister Zhang Shuo!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

Dian Wei took a step forward and stood in front of the members of the Zhang clan.

The ferocious appearance made the members of the Zhang clan tremble with fright, and they dared not say a word.

And Fang Xiu wandered around in Zhang's mansion.

"Why didn't you take this vase?"

"There must be a cellar here! Pry it open!"

"There are also these flowers and plants, all of which are rare and expensive, and they can be sold for a few taels of silver when you take them out, don't miss them!"

"This! This! And this!"

Fang Xiu pointed while walking.

Soon, the shadow guards almost moved the Zhang residence.

Seeing this scene, the director of Dali Temple who was following Fang Xiu couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Heart said: This is the real wild goose plucking hair!Not to mention the cellar, even the flowers and plants are not spared!

Just when he thought it was almost over.

Fang Xiu suddenly said:

"Has everything been moved?"

"Come on! Pry these floors and take them away!"

"And that rockery!"

Fang Xiu looked at the director of Dali Temple, and said, "You will transfer someone from Dali Temple tomorrow, and they will take it away and sell it."

"The Age of Rebirth"

The master of Dali Temple's eyelids couldn't help but twitched a few times, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes, Master Xiang!"

After he responded, cold sweat broke out involuntarily on his forehead.

As the master book of Dali Temple.

I have seen many scenes of ransacking homes over the years.

But like today, it was the first time he saw her.

The woman was sent to Jiaofang Division.

The man is sent to the mine.

The flowers and plants are pulled away.

The floor is pried away.

Even the rockery had to be removed!

After today, in this mansion, I am afraid that there will be no more items that exceed one tael of silver!

"As expected of Master Xiang!"

"Enough!"

The master of Dali Temple said in his heart.

Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, Fang Xiu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "First time?"

The director of Dali Temple has not had time to reply.

Just heard Fang Xiudao.

"It's okay, there will be more similar opportunities in the future, and you will gain experience by copying a few more times!"

When the director of Dali Temple heard this, he was startled.

I swear secretly in my heart.

No matter what happens in the future, you must not provoke this Fang Xiangye!

About an hour later.

The Zhang family went up and down, but everything worth a little money was carried into the carriage.

Fang Xiu stood in the middle of Zhang's courtyard, looked around, and saw that there was really nothing to copy.

That's it.

With a big wave of his hand, he was in high spirits.

"Go! Next one!"

two full days.

Fang Xiu didn't do anything, and took the shadow guards to ransack the house.

Carriages came empty and left full.

At the beginning, the people onlookers clapped their hands and applauded.

Afterwards, it was all numb.

The civil and military officials in the DPRK learned of this.

It's all a shock!

In the past, if you made a mistake and your home was ransacked, you could still hide some gold and silver treasures and leave them to the younger generations, so that they could become rich and noble.

just now.

Not to mention gold and silver treasures, even people can't be kept!

I lamented that Fang Xiangyan had plucked its hair, and at the same time as the beast left its skin.

No one dared to play tricks on the relief funds for the Qingzhou drought.

Fang Xiujia just finished.

The relief funds donated by civil and military officials were sent to the household department.

Add up to nearly 80 taels of silver!

According to the purchasing power of the Daqian Empire.

These silvers are exchanged for food, which is more than enough to relieve hundreds of thousands of victims!

just.

What Fang Xiu didn't expect was.

The second day after the relief money arrived.

Qin Xingyan, Minister of the Household Department, hurried to the Xiangguo Mansion.

As soon as he saw Fang Xiu, he put on a frowning look.

cried out:

"Fang Xiang, the next official made the calculation according to the price of grain in the market yesterday."

"The 80 taels of silver are exchanged for food and sent to Luonan Mansion, but it's still a lot worse!"

"How can you say this is good!"

Chapter 13 Raising Food Prices

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, looked at Qin Xingyan with sharp eyes, and said coldly:

"80 taels of silver, plus the real 10 taels, it is 90 taels!"

"The Qingzhou refugees in Luonan Prefecture add up to 70 people."

"Even if it is calculated according to one stone of grain and one tael of silver, it is more than enough, how could it not be enough!"

There was a chill in his tone.

When Qin Xingyan heard it, he instantly understood.

Fang Xiang was suspecting that he was greedy for money and food for relief.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and hurriedly explained:

"Fang Xiang, since the drought in Qingzhou, the price of food in the capital has been rising."

"Now the price of a stone of rice has more than tripled in the market, even three taels of silver can't buy a stone of rice!"

Fang Xiu frowned even more when he heard this.

You must know that driving up food prices is a serious crime of beheading!

Where did these grain merchants have the guts to triple the price of grain at this time!

Aren't they afraid of being questioned and beheaded?

aside.

Qin Xingyan seemed to have seen Fang Xiu's thoughts, and explained again:

"Fang Xiang, according to my general rules, if the price of food has risen to [-]% of the imperial court's price, it can already be punished."

"The problem is that most of these grain merchants are not from me, but from Wu."

"More than half of the food I dry out comes from the state of Wu."

"These grain merchants in the state of Wu ignore my laws and wantonly drive up grain prices because they have grain!"

"But the imperial court has nothing to do with them."

"After all, if they are all beheaded, let alone how Wu Guohui will react, I will have to fall into a crisis of food shortage first."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu showed anger on his face, looked at Qin Xingyan, and asked:

"I am so dignified that I can't even be self-sufficient in food?"

For the feudal empire.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country!

Only when there is enough food, can a sufficient population be raised to develop business and technology, and grow oneself.

If even food cannot be self-sufficient, then this empire will not be far from disintegration!

This is also the reason why scholars, farmers, businessmen, and farmers rank second!

Qin Xingyan is the Minister of the Household Department, in charge of land tax, money and food!

Food cannot be self-sufficient, he is the primary responsible person!

Fang Xiu originally thought that Qin Xingyan would be terrified when he heard his scolding.

However, after taking a look at him, I realized that his expression was a little strange, as if he hesitated to speak.

Fang Xiu frowned, and said angrily, "Just say what you want!"

When Qin Xingyan heard this, he dared to say:

"Fang Xiang, in fact, the food I worked so hard was originally self-sufficient."
