They wanted to see how much rice the Prime Minister's daughter had in her hands and how long she could last.
When the snowstorm broke out, the emperor also became troubled by the cunning methods of merchants.
The emperor even thought of implementing the order forcefully and stipulating the price of dead rice.
But in this case, the emperor was worried about those profiteers, and would rather let the rice rot than sell it to the people. After all, this situation is not impossible. You know, in the history of the Great Zhou Kingdom, there has been
Such an example, so the emperor can't afford to gamble.
Just when the emperor was having a headache, the seventh prince reported Xia Chiwan's actions to the emperor.
"Father, this is a very kind move by the Second Miss Xia Family. I feel that I should help Miss Xia. If there are more people like the Second Miss Xia Family in the Great Zhou Kingdom, Father will not need to have a headache."
Xia Chiwan seemed to be cooperating with the Seventh Prince after all.
Naturally, the Seventh Prince took the initiative on behalf of Xia Chiwan in this matter.
Xia Boran knew that his daughter was smart.
If his daughter came even slightly closer to the seventh prince, as a father, he could just turn a blind eye or close his eyes.
If the seventh prince can really live up to the expectations and wait for the throne.
Xia Chiwan is Xia Boran's daughter, and Xia Boran's contribution will definitely be made in the future.
If the prince comes to power.
Then Xia Boran can also blame Xia Chiwan for everything.
"Oh, Lao Qi, what do you think?"
After hearing Xia Chiwan's actions, the emperor's frowning brows finally relaxed.
It's not that there's no solution to something like this, it's just that there's no one willing to take the lead.
The emperor did not expect that a little girl like Xia Chiwan would have such sentiments.
Be willing to sacrifice your own personal interests to ensure peace in the world.
The emperor looked at Xia Boran with great pleasure, as if to say, My dear, you have really raised a good daughter.
Upon receiving the emperor's gaze, Xia Boran immediately raised his head and chest.
But when facing the emperor, he was still relatively reserved.
"I still have some surplus grain in my house. I am willing to sell it to Miss Xia Er at the market price."
In fact, if the Seventh Prince wanted to perform meritorious service, he could give it to Xia Chiwan for free.
But in this case, the seventh prince's words will attract hatred from a group of people.
The seventh prince took the lead, and the emperor also praised this move as a good one.
Then do other ministers dare not to follow suit?
These ministers all have a lot of land in their hands.
Of course, can we have less rice?
The Seventh Prince and Xia Chiwan alone are not enough.
If officials from all levels of the imperial court worked together, things would be much easier to handle.
But if the Seventh Prince wants to donate money in vain, other officials will definitely not be able to accept Xia Chiwan's money, right?
However, if the seventh prince takes the lead in collecting cash, it will be much easier for other officials.
It is said that there is no separation between government and business.
Taking advantage of this natural disaster, it would be a good idea for those ministers not to use the surplus grain in their hands to make a lot of money from the people.
It is absolutely impossible to allow them to engage in completely loss-making business.
Anyone who handed over the surplus grain would definitely hate the Seventh Prince to death.
If this happens, it will be very unfavorable for the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne.
But if the rice grain is purchased at the previous market price.
Those ministers, even if they don't make a lot of money, at least they make a small amount of money, right?
These ministers made a small fortune at this time and showed their faces in front of the emperor, showing their generosity.
