I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Is it possible that someone wants to stab me in the back again?

Li Tian called Xiao Weizi over.

"Xiao Weizi, has everything been going well lately?"

Is everything going well?

Where did this begin?

Does it mean that the grain from Yuhang will soon arrive in Kyoto, and the transformation of the river into the sea has been successful, so the court will no longer be restricted by river transportation?

Or has the censor Tian Liang already obtained evidence and started investigating the water transport department?

Or has Minister Jia already started preparations to take action against the grain merchants who are hoarding grain?

If it is these things, of course it will go smoothly.

Little Weizi said quickly: "Your Majesty, everything has been peaceful recently, it's all under your control!"

It's all under my control?

That's good.

Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is General Lan?"

In fact, Li Tian didn't want to see Rand either.

This brother-in-law who had stabbed him in the back the most was the culprit who caused his national fortune points to increase by 10,000.

But Li Tian couldn't stand Concubine Lan nagging him all day long.

The siblings haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's understandable that they want to meet each other.

So Li Tian asked about Rand's location.

"General Lan has arrived at Binhai. In less than half a day, the dragon boat will also arrive at Binhai."

Little Weizi's heart skipped a beat.

Your Majesty, why did you ask about Rand's location when you didn't ask about so many important things?

and many more!

A light bulb went off in Xiao Weizi's mind!

It turned out to be the case.

Your Majesty is so awesome!

He is indeed a wise ruler!

It means long-term planning!

Whether it is turning a river into a sea, stabilizing the grain prices in Kyoto, or finding the culprit behind the attack on the grain ship.

In the eyes of His Majesty, these things are nothing but insignificant drizzle.

The only thing we should be wary of is that the water transport department will do something desperate!

After all, river transportation is the life and property of millions of canal workers. If the imperial court really decides to turn the river into the sea.

If those guys incite the canal workers to mutiny, it will be a disaster!

That is why Your Majesty is paying special attention to General Lan’s movements!

Rand is a famous general of the time!

As long as General Lan is here, the Huaihe River will not be in chaos!

As long as the main culprit is captured quickly, the unrest can be quelled!

As expected of your Majesty!

Xiao Weizi was once again impressed by the emperor's methods!

Then he felt deeply ashamed.

I only focus on trivial details and cannot think about issues as far-sightedly as Your Majesty.

Therefore, His Majesty will always be His Majesty!

Little Weizi immediately said, "The river transportation is fine, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Only then did Li Tian breathe a sigh of relief.

If there is no problem with river transportation, it means there has been no progress in the crackdown on river transportation.

Not bad!

Tian Liang is indeed a idiot, that's good!

I really have a keen eye for identifying waste!

Qian Laoer is an ordinary citizen in Kyoto.

Recently, the price of food in Kyoto has risen three times a day, which makes Qian Laoer very panicked.

Qian Laosan couldn't help but think of the famine during the previous emperor's time.

That famine was also caused by the imperial court's crackdown on river transportation.

Then the grain from Yuhang could no longer be transported to Kyoto.

Alas, while the court officials fight for power, it is the common people who suffer.

Qian Laoer took the remaining money in the family and ran to the nearest grain store.

There was already a long line in front of the grain shop.

"Have you heard that because the person in the palace insisted on going to Yuhang, the river transportation was blocked and the grain from Yuhang could not be delivered to Kyoto."

Rumors spread in panic.

Qian Laoer quickly moved away from the group of people.

Anyone who makes irresponsible remarks about His Majesty will be beheaded!

Among these people, there are common people bribed by the Sixth Prince, and there are also guys who really like to gossip.

However, rumors that Your Majesty has gone to Yuhang and blocked river transportation have spread throughout Kyoto.

Qian Laoer had been waiting in line for several hours and was tired and hungry.

But by the time it was his turn, the waiter was already preparing the samples.

"Waiter, is there any food left?"

"No more. Didn't you see it's sold out today?"

Qian Laoer pleaded: "My family hasn't had any food for two days, Xiaoer, is there nothing left?"

"You haven't eaten for two days? You still have three days to go! That's it. Come early tomorrow!"

After saying this, the waiter closed the shop door.

The whole of Kyoto was immersed in panic due to food shortage.

Qian Laoer walked slowly towards home.

He saw a porridge stall being built on the roadside, with many people watching.

Qian Laoer came forward.

"This is the porridge stall built by the Sixth Sage King. We will start giving out alms tomorrow!"

"The Sixth Wise King is such a good man!"

"As expected of the Sixth Wise King, you really have a kind heart!"

"The man in the palace, doesn't he know how to learn from the Sixth Wise King?"

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

Qian Laoer looked at the porridge stall which was still under construction and dragged his feet back home.

He was looking forward to the Six Wise Kings' porridge stall donation tomorrow.

The top ten grain merchants in Kyoto gathered in a restaurant in Kyoto.

"Your Highness! The price of grain in Kyoto has tripled!"

"We're really going to make a fortune from the food we stockpiled this time!"

"Haha, this is all thanks to the prince!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the prince's message, how could we make so much money?"

As one of the Six Wise Kings, he certainly would not lower his status to attend a gathering of merchants.

The one who represented the Six Wise Kings to attend the banquet was the Six Wise Kings’ steward.

The butler looked at the group of merchants with a smile.

They didn't know yet that the Six Wise Kings were also involved in storing grain this time.

The Sixth Wise King took out his saved silver and bought a large amount of grain on the market, and then secretly went to the market to sell it at a high price.

The news of the river transportation being cut off a few days ago had just reached Kyoto, but the price of grain had already tripled.

In addition to the panic caused by the news, this was also the result of the Six Wise Kings and these merchants hoarding grain.

Coupled with the famine crisis during the previous emperor's reign, the people of Kyoto all began to hoard food.

The prince is in charge of the overall planning, but the emperor is still too young!

However, the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet did nothing about the grain prices in Kyoto?

In the opinion of the Six Wise Kings, these two Grand Secretaries and the Queen Regent were incompetent.

No ability to deal with this crisis.

at the same time.

Tang Xiaoren's memorial has been delivered to Tang Hanxue's desk.

Turn a river into a sea?

Or is this what His Majesty meant?

Tang Hanxue was once again impressed by Li Tian's foresight.

This is the way of an emperor!

Tang Xiaoren's memorial stated that large quantities of food would be delivered to Kyoto tomorrow.

Kyoto's food crisis will soon be resolved.

Tang Xiaoren also attached Jia Renyi's memorial.

Jia Renyi believed that the grain merchants in Kyoto were hoarding unusually large quantities of goods.

The news of the river transport suspension was learned in advance, and this group of guys might also be related to the river transport scandal.

However, Jia Renyi felt that it was not appropriate to arrest people directly at this time.

This will cause market confusion.

Jia Renyi proposed to sell a large amount of grain in Kyoto.

Suppress these grain merchants and make them go bankrupt due to overstocking!

After they surrender, they will be arrested and interrogated about their connection with the river shipping scandal.

As expected of the cabinet ministers, they are all cunning and crafty!

Tang Hanxue suddenly felt something was wrong.

One of the cabinet ministers is actually his biological father.

Tang Hanxue used a red pen to underline and agreed to the proposal of Tang Xiaoren and Jia Renyi.

At this time, Qian Laoer, dragging his hungry body, continued to queue outside the grain shop.
