Chapter 158: Wang Zian, you are such a sweetheart of mine
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but cover his face. These two bastards should be beaten to death!
When Wang Zi'an heard this voice, he immediately felt a toothache.
Before he could think of a countermeasure, he saw the door curtain move, and two tall and stocky figures walked in from the outside. They were Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi!
"Hey - Master, are you here too?"
Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang's eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost. But Cheng Chumo soon reacted and slapped his thigh happily.
"Master, are you here to confess to your father? Don't worry, we will absolutely support you and sister Ying'er -"
This is really great, the master is finally becoming a brother-in-law!
The two of them felt that their waists suddenly became a little stiffer.
Wang Zi’an:……
master?
What about Yinger?
Cheng Yaojin even forgot to scold his son, he was a little confused.
This amount of information is really too much!
Is Zian the master of these two bastards? Where is the Taoist master who promised to have white hair and beard, with an immortal demeanor?
Then he immediately thought of the two large car gifts that he had personally packed, and immediately felt a faint pain in his heart.
No, the key to the problem is the matter with Yinger!
This bitch has secretly hooked up with my daughter, and yet he’s still pretending to be a wolf with me?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin's face turned dark immediately and he looked at Wang Zi'an with an unkind look.
"Do you want to give me an explanation for the matter between you and Ying'er?"
What should I tell you?
Wang Zi'an looked at Cheng Yaojin helplessly.
"Miss Ying'er and I are innocent——"
"Yes, yes, I can prove it, I can prove it..."
Gao Fu, who was in a daze after drinking, quickly stood up to testify.
Cheng Yaojin:......
Looking at Gao Fu who was so drunk that his eyes were blurred, Cheng Yaojin almost kicked him out on the spot.
Even this old guy knows about this, but he doesn’t know about feelings?
The most annoying thing is that the two little bastards didn't tell me, and he, the old guy, didn't tell me either. Otherwise, how could I be so passive?
Just a few days ago, your majesty, that bitch, actually robbed your son-in-law in front of him!
Cheng Yaojin's manor was full of chicken feathers.
The grain merchants in Chang'an City were also in chaos...
Because, the imperial court suddenly stopped collecting food!
Since mid-morning this morning, grain collection points have been closed one after another. The reason is that the official warehouse is full!
The thirteen grain stores that were originally located in Chang'an were okay. Those grain merchants who came from Guanlong and Shandong were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Now it is no longer a matter of making money or not, but these.
What to do with the grain that was transported to Chang'an with great effort and cost?
The official warehouse is full and the court will not accept any more.
With hundreds of thousands of stones of wheat, the steamed bun shop in Chang'an can be opened in two or three years, and ordinary people's demand for millet and bean sprouts will not be great.
It is even conceivable that after Chang'an's steamed buns were popularized across the country, the demand for millet and bean sprouts in the entire Tang Dynasty would surely fall off a cliff.
There is no way I can live this day!
Just when these grain merchants were crying and desperate, the people of Chang'an City received exciting good news.
The imperial court is opening a hospital!
It is said that the emperor was considerate of the people and asked the doctors who specialized in treating the emperor to go to outside hospitals to treat the people.
"Isn't this a bit of a fantasy? Since ancient times, the Imperial Hospital has been dedicated to serving the royal family members. How can it possibly treat ordinary people like us?"
A scholar who had just come to Chang'an for a study tour from other places was being sprayed by people around him before he could finish his words.
"A fantasy? Open your big eyes and take a look!"
Immediately, someone photographed a notice in front of the foreign student.
"Did you see that? The imperial court has issued an announcement. Not only will the imperial court open a hospital, but construction will begin soon! His Majesty the Emperor is kind-hearted and considerate of the people. How can you, a little scholar like you, make such wild guesses?"
"That is, when we were short of food, His Majesty opened the warehouse to stock up on food. Now he even sent out the doctor who treated himself to treat ordinary people like us. Where can we find such a good emperor? Who dares to say anything bad about His Majesty?
If so, I will slap him with a slap on the ear!"
Listening to the discussions of the people around him and looking at the notices in white and black letters, this scholar who was studying abroad couldn't help but blushing and feeling excited.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and virtuous. Unexpectedly, he has done this for the people. He is truly a wise king who has never been seen in history——"
The scholar suddenly stood up in excitement and bowed deeply in the direction of the imperial city. He refused to get up for a long time.
…
"Your Majesty, the public opinion outside is boiling now, and everyone is talking about opening a hospital..."
The old eunuch Chang De playfully reported the news he had learned to his Majesty the Emperor. Li Shimin, who had already received Baiqisi's reward, was in a good mood and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, pretending to be casual and asked lightly.
"What do people say outside -"
"Everyone says that His Majesty is considerate of the people, benevolent and virtuous, and is actually the wisest king ever seen in history - many scholars are writing poems praising His Majesty..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's over, it's over, I just did what I should do, I don't deserve this kind of praise, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..."
Although he said that he couldn't take it seriously, he couldn't hide the joy between his brows.
First, he opened a warehouse to store grain, and then he built a hospital. These two things suddenly reversed his reputation among the people. In the past, not to mention scholars, even ordinary people secretly slandered him.
He killed his brother and put his father under house arrest.
The common people don't care what your reasons are or what grievances you have, they just know that you are not a human being!
Coupled with the secret promotion of some aristocratic families and elders of the Wude Dynasty, in the past few years, he has almost always been blamed. Whenever he encounters some major natural or man-made disasters, everyone will scold him, saying that his virtue is not worthy of his morality, and he has offended God, which caused the disaster.
, many people even called for him to remain the Supreme Emperor.
In the past few years, he has been working hard and cautiously, and his reputation has not changed significantly. I didn't expect that just these two moves would change his public opinion among the people!
Wang Zi'an, Wang Zi'an, you are indeed my heaven-given jade unicorn, my precious little heart!
People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and they are particularly energetic when reviewing memorials.
In the second half of the afternoon, Li Junxian walked in from the outside with brisk steps.
"Your Majesty, in Chang'an City, the price of food has plummeted, and few people care about rice and rice. The local and foreign food has become like ants on a hot pot. They are asking everywhere, trying to find a way to let the imperial court collect their food.
…”
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.
Thinking about how you behaved when you borrowed food but refused to give it to you, and then look at how you are begging for help now, it is really satisfying!
