When Wan Qingyan heard this, he became interested and sat back on the throne.

"Who said that just now? Look up!"

Wan Qingyan looked down at the people below and asked in confusion.

"Your Highness, I am a commoner..."

A trembling voice sounded.

Wan Qingyan looked over and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The person who spoke was the one who ran away naked yesterday.

Zhang Liangshang was so frightened that he became incontinent in front of Shi Ming.

Wan Qingyan deliberately glanced at Shi Ming, wanting to see her reaction.

Shi Ming remained calm and didn't even glance at Zhang Liangshang.

He looked puzzled at Wan Qingyan's inquiring gaze.

Shi Ming pretended to be calm and composed, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.

She will be haunted by the shame of what happened last night.

Never let anyone else know, especially Wan Qingyan.

Unfortunately, what she didn't know was what happened last night.

Not only Wan Qingyan saw it, but A Nian also saw it.

"Tell me, what's wrong with the first two points of the policy?"

Wan Qingyan adjusted his state, cleared his throat, and asked seriously.

Zhang Liangshang didn't want to be the first one to take action.

However, Li Guoan insisted that she be the representative and expressed different opinions.

You really only know how to pick on the weak!

But she was the rotten persimmon among the soft persimmons, so she could only obey and do as she was told.

"In my humble opinion, this ensures food supply.

And we can’t stabilize food prices at the moment!

The Cui family is the largest grain merchant supplier in Qingzhou.

The Cui family needs full cooperation on this matter of grain and grain prices!

But the current head of the Cui family, Cui Shici, is missing, which makes things difficult.

In addition, even if the Cui family cooperated fully, there would not be enough food.

Also, we currently have no work needs for disaster victims.

I’m afraid this work-for-relief approach won’t be very effective…”

Zhang Liangshang suppressed the fear in his heart.

Simple and clear, it expresses the views of grain traders and the corresponding difficulties.

Wan Qingyan did not give an answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he spoke solemnly.

“You guys take care of your own business first, and I will take care of the Cui family’s affairs.

Cui Shici, I will personally send someone to bring her back.

As for the food issue, you say there is not enough food.

Then I will let foreign grain merchants come in and expand the grain scale.

At that time, you will compete with foreign grain merchants.

As for the issue of work-for-relief, it is also easy to solve.

Since you say there is no demand, then I will create demand for you.

You guys should open more restaurants, tea houses, theaters, tailor shops, clinics...

The people of Qingzhou believe in Taoism, and many Taoist temples should be renovated!

I can see so many demands just by thinking about it, and you still say there are no demands, are you kidding me?"

Wan Qingyan slammed the gavel so hard that the grain merchants and Li Guoan trembled.

Zhang Liangshang didn't respond and turned to look at the others.

Waiting for their decision, she could only follow the crowd and act as a messenger.

After a while, all the grain merchants and Li Guoan nodded.

Seeing that they all nodded, Zhang Liangshang immediately said respectfully.

"Your Highness, I understand and will act in accordance with your policies."

As soon as Zhang Liangshang finished speaking, he wanted to retreat.

She really didn't want to talk to Wan Qingyan because the feeling of oppression was too strong.

Seeing that she wanted to shrink back, Wan Qingyan immediately spoke.

Seeing this, Zhang Liangshang could only stand there awkwardly.

“Okay, now that you all understand the three major policies.

Now let's talk about another important thing.

This is what I wanted to do when I first came to Qingzhou.

But till now, there are still some unfinished things.

I remember very clearly that I asked you to raise funds for disaster relief.

You all know how much silver each of you has donated.

I won’t call out names one by one to save some face for everyone.

But I'm giving you another chance now.

When you go back today, think carefully about how much silver you should donate.

Let me put this out there: the amount of your donation will influence my opinion of you.

Bring all the donated money to the yamen tomorrow.

Again, if anyone has any opinions, please raise them.

If you dare to pretend to obey but actually disobey, you will bear the consequences yourself!!!"

Wan Qingyan made some harsh remarks and then took advantage of the situation to vent his anger.

Bring up the previous fundraising for disaster relief again.

They have to pay this money. Do they really think it is so easy to make money from disasters?

No matter how much ill-gotten gains you make, you must spit it out honestly.

The grain merchants and Li Guoan gathered together again and whispered to each other.

Zhang Liangshang couldn't get involved, so he could only pretend to be busy.

He looked left and right, awkwardly tapping his toes on the ground.

Wan Qingyan supported his face with one hand and looked at Zhang Liangshang silently.

She really felt that Zhang Liangshang had a talent for comedy.

Making people laugh when they see you is also a skill.

Although Wan Qingyan thought she was funny.

But Zhang Liangshang felt that Wan Qingyan was terrifying, like a devil.

I get scared when I see her and want to hide away.

After a while, the grain merchants and Li Guoan discussed the result.

They nodded to Zhang the grain merchant again.

Zhang Liangshang took a deep breath, relieved his tension, and spoke.

"Your Highness, we were confused for a moment.

We now understand that everything must be led by His Highness.

Regarding the donation, we will do our best to give His Highness a satisfactory answer!"

After Zhang Liangshang finished speaking, he turned around and looked at everyone.

I felt relieved when I saw them all nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your answers. That's all for today. You can go back first!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Wan Qingyan was too lazy to continue listening to useless compliments.

I just want to drive them away so that my ears and eyes can have some peace and quiet.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The grain merchants and Li Guoan all heard the impatience in Wan Qingyan's words.

They knew what was best and left quickly. They didn't want to stay in the yamen, it was too creepy.

Wan Qingyan immediately relaxed when he saw everyone had left.

"Shi Ming, go check if the food in the kitchenette is ready? I'm starving!"

Wan Qingyan covered his stomach, looking very hungry.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Shi Ming immediately went to the small kitchen to check the situation.

When Wan Qingyan saw Shi Ming leaving, he immediately waved to Wan Qingyu.

Wan Qingyu obeyed and walked towards her quickly.

"Eighth sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy?

Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

Wan Qingyan hugged Wan Qingyu and asked gently in her ear.

"Fifth sister, I'm not unhappy, you didn't make me angry.

I'm in a good mood, I just don't feel like laughing, don't think too much, I'm fine!"

Wan Qingyu chuckled and explained in a light-hearted and humorous tone.

She hugged Wan Qingyan back, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

“Eighth sister, do you know that your deceiving skills are really bad.

Or, are you unwilling to share your joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness with Fifth Sister?"

Wan Qingyan hugged him tighter.

She noticed Wan Qingyu's depressed mood today.

In the past, she never hid her joy, anger, sorrow or happiness.

But now she can hide her emotions.

This is not a good sign.
