Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 798
"boom!"

There was a loud noise from the Princess Mansion, a big crater was blown on the ground, and mud splashed everywhere, Shen Cheng quickly turned around and held her in his arms.

The two stood extremely far away, and Shen Cheng still had a lot of mud splashed on his body.

Rong Jiu brushed off the dirt on his shoulders and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Rong Jiu found an open place, dug a hole, buried the black gunpowder in it, and then exposed the fuse. This explosion directly blasted a big hole out, Rong Jiu looked at it, but he was not very satisfied.

"The power is not strong enough, and the proportion must be adjusted."

If you want to dig mountains and dig rocks, this power is really not enough, Shen Cheng warned: "Research and development belong to research and development, you should be careful."

"Ah."

Rong Jiu tried a few more times, but the power was not strong enough.

The people were a little terrified when they heard the rumbling sound from the Princess Mansion from time to time, and this incident even alarmed the Emperor Chu.

Eunuch Zhao just arrived at the Princess Mansion, and he felt a tremor under his feet. If he hadn't heard the loud "bang", he would have thought it was an earthquake.

"Princess, princess," Eunuch Zhao ran over in a hurry, fearing that something might happen to her. Seeing her disheveled face, he couldn't help but startled, "Princess, what are you doing?"

"Why is the father-in-law here?"

"Your Majesty is worried about the princess, so let this old servant come over and ask."

"I'm fine, you can rest assured father, in a few days, I will give him a surprise."

Eunuch Zhao returned to the palace and replied: "Your Majesty, the princess seems to be developing gunpowder?"

Emperor Chu was startled: "What is she developing gunpowder for? Did she get injured?"

"The princess is fine, the princess said, I will give His Majesty a surprise in a few days."

Emperor Chu frowned: "The drought in Qinzhou has not been resolved for a day, and the situation has become more serious. Shen Qing is at home on leave, and she is developing gunpowder. Tell me, what are they doing?"

Eunuch Zhao was also puzzled, and said worriedly: "Princess has her own way of doing things. Right now, the most troublesome thing, apart from the disaster in Qinzhou, is the price of rice. The price of rice has skyrocketed recently. If it continues like this, people will be in chaos. gone."

When Emperor Chu heard this, his brows furrowed deeply.

The price of rice has risen to [-] yuan per bucket, and within a few days, some aristocratic families stopped giving relief.

The price of rice rose higher and higher, and many people couldn't afford to buy food. Fortunately, Rong Jiu and Chu Xun had been providing relief, so there was no trouble.

In the sweltering summer wind, the whole Chang'an was shrouded in an atmosphere of uneasiness and depression.

Yuan Gang and Ruan Jing were in high spirits, they hoarded the most food and made the most money.

In the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yuan Gang was complacent: "The price of rice has skyrocketed all the way, and now there are public complaints everywhere. Even if the Ninth Princess and His Royal Highness the King of Chu are helping, they can last for a few days. Even if they do everything they can, it will be of no avail. At that time, the hearts of the people are broken, and if they are provoked casually, there is no fear that there will be chaos."

But Prime Minister Xiao said, "From tomorrow onwards, we will not sell food in stockpiles."

Yuan Gang thought he had heard it wrong, and said anxiously: "The prime minister wants to recruit troops and buy horses, and money is needed everywhere, if you don't sell the food,

Prime Minister Xiao gave him a cold look, Yuan Gang was startled, and seeing Ruan Jing winking at him, he shut up angrily.

Ruan Jing hurriedly smoothed things over: "We hoarded grain and didn't sell it. The people couldn't buy rice, and they felt even more panicked. The people's hearts were uneasy, which meant that the world was uneasy. We arranged riots, from Chang'an to various places. At that time, the people everywhere rose up, and we followed the way of heaven. , isn’t the teacher famous?”

Yuan Gang stared, and laughed loudly with palms: "Wonderful! It really is a clever plan!"

In this way, he can occupy the land and become the king without leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years.
