Lin Chong asked himself that he was a conscientious person. Since Fang Zihuai helped him, he didn't want to owe this favor.
When collecting grain, he not only raised the price of Ivory Hill, but also specifically asked Fang Zihuai to save some grain to cope with possible disasters, and even left part of the grain he collected for him.
Do you think Lin Chong will go back like this after harvesting the grain? Then you are wrong. It took a lot of effort to get the opportunity to have someone stay in the palace to handle government affairs for him. How can he not have a good time? At least he has to eat all over the capital.
Just delicious food.
After bidding farewell to Fang Zihuai, Lin Chong took Mu Xi and Mu Mu to several rice shops in the capital. The people at the rice shops looked sad when they heard that he was going to collect grain.
"Sir, let me tell you the truth. The people we sent out to collect grain in the past two days have all gotten nothing. They say that wealthy businessmen who don't know where they came from have taken away all the grain at a high price. We are not that kind now.
What a surplus of food."
Lin Chong also made an angry look: "I just came back from the suburbs of Beijing. I originally wanted to collect grain directly from there, but now it's better. After I went there, I said that someone took it all away for one tael of silver per bucket.
Now they have almost no food left except what they need for winter at home."
The grain merchant and Lin Chong scolded each other for a while. Mu Mu stood nearby and listened to Lin Chong scolding him for being so mad, and he couldn't help showing an expression of admiration.
Mu Xi lowered his head and rolled his eyes, pretending to stand politely.
The grain store has grain in stock every year. As long as you are willing to pay, it is impossible not to buy grain. Lin Chong began to self-examine whether he had collected too much grain this time.
He predicted that under such circumstances, grain prices might rise very quickly. But fortunately, grain merchants in the capital would take the initiative to go elsewhere to find solutions, otherwise Lin Chong would have good intentions and do bad things.
Some people here are thinking about where to go next, and some people over there are thinking about finding allies.
Hanzhong Mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion. A man in white clothes was thin and handsome. Next to him stood a man in black clothes and a mask. Since this man didn't speak, he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman. He stood quietly beside Prince Rui.
There was no sound from the side.
The elderly butler walked in with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, I heard that you didn't drink today's medicine and secretly poured it out behind your servants' back. What if Doctor Mo finds out about this?"
"You know it once you know it. What can you do if you know him? Besides, he is not a miracle doctor. He is just a magic stick at best. You just treat his words as an imperial edict every day." King Rui said unhurriedly.
The housekeeper sighed: "My lord, you can't say that. Since Dr. Mo came here, your health is indeed better than before."
"If you want me to say that it's all your own psychological effects, it's okay for that liar Mo Feng to deceive those fools, but I won't accept his tricks."
At this time, there was a loud noise outside the door. "Who is saying that I am a magician? I will not dispense medicine to such a patient next time."
The housekeeper hurriedly smiled at the side: "Hey, Doctor Mo, you are here. You have come all the way and you haven't eaten yet. I will go down and arrange the kitchen to prepare dinner for you right away."
Doctor Mo nodded coldly, indicating that he could go down.
The housekeeper knew that he had something to say to his master, so he left first with great discernment.
Mo Feng was not polite to King Rui at all. He directly found a chair and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea. "I asked you, what's the matter with you? I prepared the medicine for you well, why doesn't it taste good?
Is it possible that you think I will harm you?"
King Rui shook his head.
Mo Feng snorted coldly: "Even if you saved my life three years ago, I can say that I have tried my best. It is impossible to cure your disease if it drags on like this. If you think about it clearly,
What's the use of having those empty things if your life is gone?"
Mo Feng had said this to him countless times over the past few years, but this man seemed to agree and seemed to understand, but in fact he never really listened to him. Several times, Mo Feng was so angry that he had nothing to say and rolled his sleeves.
And go.
He has a good reputation in the world, and the reputation of the Medicine Pavilion, which has been passed down from generation to generation, cannot be ruined by his hands. But he happened to encounter a patient who was uncooperative.
Mo Feng really wanted to just let it go, but he was helpless because this person was his savior. He couldn't bear to come back every time, so now he, the doctor, had to chase after the patient all day long.
Mo Feng really couldn't figure out why such a smart person as King Rui was so stubborn on this matter? No matter what he said, he couldn't listen. He also knew that King Rui seemed approachable on the surface, but in fact he was never easy-going.
Confess your innermost thoughts to others.
"That girl from the Ding family, what are you going to do?" Mo Feng had no choice but to change the subject.
King Rui looked at the tea cup as if he was in a daze. When he heard his words, he just replied in a vague and non-serious manner: "Let her do whatever she wants."
Mo Feng curled his lips: "This girl is very powerful now. I don't know what she is planning. You have to be careful."
King Rui smiled: "She and the Ding family are just too young to overthrow me."
Half a year ago, King Rui massacred the entire Ding family and forced to death the Ding couple who treated him as his own son. It has been widely known for a long time.
There are many versions of this story. Some people say that it was because the Ding family was too careless that they offended King Rui, which led to their death. Others say that the Ding family did nothing wrong and that the Ding family was just taking back the big family from King Rui.
Just a victim of power and money.
But no matter which theory, there is one problem that no one can explain clearly. That is, although the Ding family and his wife are dead, the Ding family's only daughter is still alive, and the Ding family is still in her care.
It was under control, but she was not good at doing business, so she transferred most of the business and rented it out.
Some people say that it was because the two of them had a deep love for each other that Prince Rui let her go. However, after this incident, the Ding family and Prince Rui's palace seemed to have nothing to do with each other anymore.
Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Ding family has always liked to dress according to King Rui's style for many years, and even the tailors who make clothes have to be hired by the same person.
But no one knows exactly from which day, perhaps from the day when her mourning period expired, Miss Ding never wore white clothes again.
She no longer chased King Rui everywhere, and she seemed to have become mature and calm. Perhaps it was because she had to shoulder the burden of the family alone after her parents' accident, which allowed her to quickly change from an innocent girl.
