In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

It would have been fine if the Empress Dowager wasn't here, but she was here. How could she allow her son's kingdom to be ruined by such a small official?

Hearing this, the empress dowager, who was sitting with Murong Jinshu not far away, looked carefully at the brocade bag she embroidered. Seeing that the mandarin ducks were embroidered very beautifully, she nodded with satisfaction.

She looked up at the other children again and smiled at them, "Don't worry, just do what you need to do."

"...In the recent period, you should all go to the city more often."

"Order must be maintained at the Bai Family Rice Shop. If you encounter civilians being beaten, go and help them and give them an extra two kilograms of rice."

"In this world, life is not easy for ordinary people..."

"it is good!"

They all nodded.

Especially the Seven Little Moons and Leng Bingnian, they all know how difficult it is for ordinary people to survive in this world.

They had all experienced war before, and Liang Province was in great trouble during King Cheng's rebellion.

The people in Liangzhou almost starved to death.

When they went out, they even saw corpses lying on the street. They were already smelly, with flies swarming around and maggots everywhere.

The commoner was also an old man. His sons and daughters had all passed away, and his wife had also passed away. He had a weak will to live, and food was very expensive at that time...

Before the Bai family rice shop could put the rice in, he had already fallen to the ground and died.

The children were in a very depressed mood for several days at that time.

Although they knew that war was cruel, the feeling of actually seeing someone die in front of them was different.

So this time, they all knew that the price of rice must not be adjusted upwards, but must be adjusted downwards.

No matter what, it has to be similar to before.

As for those coarse grains, if the price can be lowered, the price will be lowered.

The Bai family is already rich enough, and earning a few more cents will not make them richer.

The Bai family rice shop doesn't make much money to begin with... lowering the price of coarse grains will mean making three to five hundred taels less silver a month.

Earning less money will actually allow people to live a better life, and they will feel a sense of accomplishment.

If businessmen want to gain lasting profits, they need to have conscience and the support of the people.

The seven little moons are all children. They are kinder than adults and consider more about the warmth and coldness of human nature.

So many things have happened recently and they miss their mother very much.

If my mother were still here, would the governor of Liangzhou not dare to do that?

Bai Yiyue was writing a letter at home, wanting his escort team to go to Qingzhou to deliver it to Bai Lu.

Bai Eryue was looking through the account book, which was the account book that Murong Jinshu asked the Bai family to look through... Murong Jinshu told Bai Eryue to look through it with him.

This child is the most confused among the accountants, so Murong Jinshu specially trained her.

March and April were the best at accounting, so they went to the Bai family rice shop to check the account books for the recent period.

Bai Wuyue and Wuli were responsible for getting the recent account books of other Xiaomi shops and handing them over to March and April.

Look at the recent period, they have made a fortune from the national disaster!

In June, he went outside to find out whether the people had been beaten and to maintain order.

In July, I went to check out the small shops outside to see if there were any cases where prices were lowered on the surface but actually increased!

"..."

Bai Yiyue was writing a letter in the house. Before he finished, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

Qiyue suddenly ran over and said to them with anxious panting: "Oh no, big sister!"

"The price at that rice shop outside has gone up again, it's now 15 cents per pound!"

"what?!"

Murong Jinshu was very surprised when he heard this.

Murong Jinshu and Bai Eryue stood up immediately and saw Bai Yiyue furious: "Why did the price increase so much?!"

"Wasn't it thirteen coins per pound before? How come it's fifteen coins per pound now?!"

"Is the prefect going crazy?!"

Bai Qiyue quickly shook her head, and then panicked: "Tell me, is it possible that this matter was not done by the prefect?"

"The prefect isn't stupid. How could the price increase so much? This is too abnormal!"

Everyone looked at each other. Murong Jinshu pondered for a moment, then shouted to the inside: "Empress Dowager, please come out quickly!"

The Queen Mother was sleeping inside when she heard Murong Jinshu calling her.

"What is it?"

"Empress Dowager, the price of rice in Liangzhou has actually risen to fifteen cents per pound!"

"what?"

The Queen Mother was very surprised.

......

At this time, the governor of Liangzhou was talking with his staff in the government office when he saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat float up behind him without anyone noticing and patted him on the shoulder.

"..."

The governor of Liangzhou turned his head and screamed in fear!

Look closely...she looks a bit like the Queen Mother.

The Liangzhou governor was startled and coughed twice: "All of you go down."

In the study, the governor of Liangzhou cried to the empress dowager, "Your Majesty, it's not that I intentionally raised the prices, nor is it that I didn't help lower them! It's just that those millet shops can't survive now, so they have to raise the prices to such an extreme!"

“They can’t survive, how can I stop them from raising prices?!”

"Look, I, the governor of Liangzhou, asked them to lower the price, but they refused to listen. I'm sure the people must be having a very hard time!"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother sneered: "Since life is so hard, why not do this, Prefect? Please give out some of the official silver in your mansion and use it as disaster relief!"

"Otherwise...the shop owners and their employees in these millet shops won't be able to survive!"

The governor of Liangzhou was stunned and said to the empress dowager with a bitter face: "Empress Dowager, this is not a joke!"

"Official silver is not given out casually. If your Majesty punishes you later..."

"Stop talking nonsense and quickly distribute the official silver in your mansion. If the price goes up again, you can distribute more!"

The Queen Mother stared at the Liangzhou Governor and said in a cold voice, "Governor, why are you silent?"

"Are you reluctant to part with the official silver?"

The governor of Liangzhou had a grim expression on his face, but he forced a smile and nodded, saying, "How could I be reluctant? Send, send, send!"

"Then I will distribute the official silver to the shop owners so that they can get some money and save themselves from starvation!"

The empress dowager stared at the governor of Liangzhou, but her heart skipped a beat.

The governor of Liangzhou would rather issue official silver than lower the price of rice in the rice shop?

Something must have happened!!
