Chapter 153 Food Prices
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hearing his people being ravaged by the enemy, massacres might happen, but he was helpless. This feeling was very bad, and it deeply stimulated Hu Guang.

new army!Strong army!military power!These words flashed silently in his mind, and the frustration in front of him further strengthened his thoughts.

Before he had time to ask Qian Fugui again, he saw the icon of Gao Yingyuan in the working group shaking, so he switched to listen first.

"Your Majesty, I just received a military order to drive everyone in the city, as long as they are alive, out of the city!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he was shocked, and immediately recovered from his anger, and immediately asked, "Should we still separate the young and the old from the weak?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, how do you know?" Gao Yingyuan asked in surprise when he heard this.But he immediately came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, and quickly added, "Yes, regardless of men and women, if they are over fifteen or under forty, they will be detained separately!"

Sure enough, the same as Yongping, there should not be much time difference before and after, it seems that the time has already been agreed to start.Hu Guang thought about it, and asked Liu Xingzuo: "Liu Qing, the same is true for the Jianlu in Yongping. I suspect that the same is true for other castles occupied by Jianlu. What do you think Jianlu is planning?"

"Your Majesty, from what the general has seen, I'm afraid Jianlu is about to escape!" Liu Xingzuo was really listening, and immediately gave his opinion back.

Hehe, want to escape?This is just a nice way of saying it. If people want to leave or come whenever they want, who can stop them?Hu Guang thought for a while mockingly, and then asked: "What will happen to those old and weak?"

"When the old slave was around, he would finish the slaughter neatly. When this Huang Taiji was in Liaodong, he knew how to buy people's hearts, and would give some small favors to make those Han slaves work for him. This time, he seems to be doing things a little differently from his past. , It’s hard to tell the end!” Liu Xingzuo didn’t grasp Huang Taiji’s mind this time, so he had to tell the truth.

Hu Guang frowned when he heard this, switched back to the elementary group, clicked on the icon of Qian Fugui and asked, "How many prisoners are there in Yongping?"

"How many prisoners? How do I know!" Qian Fugui replied after looking around, and then suddenly remembered, he couldn't help laughing, "You think you are really the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and you have to worry about Yongping's affairs? Hehe, even if you are the emperor of Ming Dynasty, you Who to send?"

He didn't receive a system prompt, which meant that Qian Fugui didn't believe what Hu Guang said before.Being so despised by him, Hu Guang couldn't help sighing.Even ordinary people know that the Ming army cannot fight, this is reality!

Regardless of Qian Fugui's ridicule at this time, he asked again: "Have you seen the banner of Daishan?"

"I don't know!" Qian Fugui said bluntly, "I'm just a teacup, and I used to do a small business. How can I understand these military affairs! You are a monk, you read your scriptures honestly! You really don't care. No business!"

"Little monk, this kind of person is selfish, don't pay attention to him!" Ru Hua seemed to be unable to listen anymore, and began to persuade.

Hu Guang didn't listen, and shouted at Qian Fugui with a bit of anger: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country! If no one cares, bad luck will come to everyone sooner or later. As long as everyone does their part, united efforts will make the country strong. Only then can everyone live in a stable environment.”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "For a person like you, I guess what I said is in vain!"

After Hu Guang finished speaking, he switched to the Jinyiwei working group, clicked on the icon of Liu Wang, told the latest developments of Jianlu, and then asked: "You tell Sun Chengzong, as for how to do it, he decides by himself !"

At this time, the only army that can be used is the Guan Ning Army.Qin Wangjun like Lu Xiangsheng is just a special case.And if they really met the Jurchen Tartars led by Huang Taiji, I am afraid the ending would not be so optimistic.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang couldn't help breaking away from the chat group, and turned his head to look west.That army was too far away, otherwise it might cooperate with the Guan Ning army and might be able to fight Jianlu in the field.The secret decree sent by her fast horse should speed up her marching speed, right?
Just as he was thinking, a servant suddenly forwarded a memorial: "Your Majesty, the daily report from Dongchang has arrived."

When Hu Guang heard this, his mind turned back and he began to read the memorial.

Cao Huachun first reported the developments of the civil servants in the capital city, the main topics in the restaurants and teahouses of the capital these days, and finally attached a report on the prices of the capital.

These things were originally what Dongchang had to do, and they were not additionally requested by Hu Guang.However, because of Hu Guang's attention, the content of this memorial is naturally different.

After Hu Guang glanced over it, his eyes suddenly became a little cold.Not to mention anything else, the price of rice has risen in a straight line these days after it was clearly forbidden to speculate and drive up prices.

Before the Jianlu invasion, the price of rice in the capital was basically one stone and one tael of silver, but now it has reached about three taels of silver.If it wasn't for the imperial court's pressure, it is estimated that those profiteers would take advantage of this opportunity to increase even more!
Hu Guang thought about it, and his consciousness entered the chat group again. After switching to the working group, he clicked on Cao Huachun's icon and said: "Cao Daban, I have watched all the grain merchants in the capital, and I want to see them raise the price of grain to the sky." go!"

The tone was full of malice, and anyone who heard it knew that the emperor was very angry.Cao Huachun didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "Your servant obeys!"

On the other hand, Wen Tiren, who was listening in, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, those grain merchants are very cunning, they only say that they don't have enough grain in stock, and buy in a limited amount every day, which attracts people to rush to buy, and the price goes up by itself."

"Let me find out, where do these grain merchants store their grain?" Hu Guang ordered angrily.

When Cao Huachun heard this, he agreed, and then hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, most of these grain merchants have backgrounds, and the location of their granaries is mostly inconvenient to check..."

Hu Guang understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately became a little angry, and shouted: "Where is your prestige in Dongchang? Do you want me to teach you?"

Cao Huachun was so frightened that he quickly wiped off his cold sweat and pleaded guilty.Wen Tiren heard something wrong, and wanted to persuade the emperor not to act recklessly.But think about it, it seems that the emperor just ordered to check the location of the granary, and didn't say what to do, so he held back.

At this time, the weather in the capital is cold, and on the grasslands further north, the weather is even colder.The north wind was blowing, it was really icy cold.

There is no snow, and the grass on the winter grassland has long since withered. At a glance, it is all gray and not autumnal. Between the ups and downs, it looks like bald spots, which is very ugly!
In the distance, a long procession winds its way.At first glance, I thought it was a Mongolian tribe migrating.Look at their horses or ox carts pulling all kinds of miscellaneous things.
