It's just that after the earthquake, a large amount of silver was needed to provide disaster relief and help the people rebuild their homes. However, the Ministry of Household Affairs was short of money. In addition, Xiliang was eyeing it and needed to reserve a military expenditure. He also felt a little bit about the matter of these silver coins.
Headache.
So he ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to send some money to Chenzhou first to meet the urgent need, and then sent some officials to do disaster relief.
The emperor had previously asked Yu Xing to bring out another million tons of grain and grass from Pingnan. Before the grain and grass from Pingnan was delivered, Chu Yuanzhou used the emperor's wish to give Yu Xing a ban, that is, before the grain and grass arrived.
Before, Yu Xing could not leave the capital.
These days, Yu Xing and Chu Mo have gotten closer.
Chu Yuanzhou saw the relationship between the two of them, but didn't interfere. And he had already replaced all the guards in the palace with his people. If he wanted to be the emperor, he only needed to make a little effort.
You can get it through action.
It's just that Chu Yuanzhou has never thought of becoming an emperor. Even though he has overwhelming power now, he still takes it lightly.
Seeing that the atmosphere in Beijing was getting more and more tense, something happened again in Chenzhou. Someone took advantage of the shortage of food after the earthquake in Chenzhou and maliciously raised the price of food. For a time, people were angry and resentful, and a paper was handed over to the capital.
Chu Yuanzhou was extremely disdainful of this way of making money, and immediately ordered people to deal with it strictly. Unexpectedly, there was a big fish behind the profiteer, and the big fish was pointed directly at Bai Luo.
Chu Yuanzhou frowned when he looked at the documents handed over by the officials. He knew Bai Luo's business methods well. Although Bai Luo was a good person and had good business skills, he was definitely not someone who took advantage of others' misfortune.
Man, there must be other things happening in between.
It's just that all the evidence points to Bai Luo, and Bai Luo is his cousin. Although he usually does nothing, he also knows that in the current state affairs, some things should be done, or in other words, there is no way to do it.
It's for those who have ulterior motives.
So Chu Yuanzhou issued an order, asking the Criminal Department to go directly to Bai Mansion to get people.
When the people from the Criminal Department arrived at the Bai Mansion, Bai Luo had just returned from doing business outside. Before he had time to see Princess Qionghua, the official came in.
Bai Luo also knew a thing or two about Chenzhou's affairs. When he saw these officials, he already vaguely knew what had happened, but he still asked: "You came to arrest me, does the prince know?"
The official replied: "The prince ordered us to invite Mr. Bai to come over."
Bai Luo said angrily: "I'm not that old yet, so you call me Mr. Bai! Master, I'm not old yet, but you guys are calling me old!"
The officials felt that they had met the best. After being officials for so many years, this was the first time they encountered someone like Bai Luo who was caught at the door and still cared about it.
The officer had no choice but to change his words and said: "Master Bai, please come to the Ministry of Punishment."
Bai Luo cursed in a low voice: "Chu Yuanzhou, you bastard, does he think I am too idle? Do you think you have to find something for me to do? Or do you think my life has been too stable recently and I haven't enjoyed prison life for a long time?
, let me experience it again?”
The officer didn't hear clearly and asked, "Master Bai doesn't want to go to the Criminal Department. If you don't go by yourself, we will have to use force."
"I can leave on my own." Bai Luo said angrily. Although he was usually friendly, when he got angry at this time, he still had his majesty.
