Chief Ding was a little embarrassed.

There is someone in the palace who is responsible for purchasing, and he only supervises it.

Moreover, King Wei won four million yuan last time. He is a well-known rich man in Chang'an City. He is not short of money! How can Chief Ding care about the small money for buying vegetables?

He didn't even know where to open the door of the vegetable market.

"Go back!"

King Wei carried the basket on his back and walked forward vigorously.

In the alley, old people came out to bask in the sun, children came out to play, and women came out to gossip in twos and threes.

"What are Li Er going to do?" asked the old man, who was hunched over his back and holding his grandson.

"Buy groceries!" King Wei nodded.

The two women diagonally opposite stopped gossiping. The fatter woman looked at Wei Qian with gossiping eyes, "Li Er, my family refuses to go shopping for food. Why are you willing to go to the market? Why are you willing to go to the market?" ?』

King Wei said, "Isn't it a shame to eat?"

() The woman was startled and muttered, "Sister Huang is so lucky!"

Another woman laughed and said, "Li Er is so rich, why haven't you ever thought about taking a concubine?"

We have always advised people to make peace, not divorce. There is no difference between persuading husbands to take concubines and persuading people to divorce.

This woman was sarcastic and jealous of Sister Huang's situation. She felt that such a country girl could find such a good man like Li Er and live such a good life. It was really heart-wrenching like boiling water!

King Wei glanced at her and then shook his head.

"My waist is not good!"

The woman was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until King Wei left that the woman next to her asked, "Why didn't you ridicule Li Er just now?"

The woman patted her chest and said tremblingly: "Just now Li Er glanced at me, as if he wanted to kill someone."

"A dull person like Li Er is such a stupid person to kill!"

All the way to the market, King Wei went to buy meat first.

Several women gathered around a meat stall. King Wei leaned over and took a look, "Here's a leg of lamb."

The butcher raised his head and said, "Li Er! Where is your eldest sister?"

"At home!" King Wei pointed to a leg of lamb.

"Twelve coins."

"Has it gone up?" King Wei wanted the front legs, but he didn't expect the price to go up.

The meat dealer complained, "It was fine at the beginning of the year, but in the summer, the government did not know who had enough to eat. It was said that the beef and mutton in northern Xinjiang were rampant in Chang'an, and all the money earned was Yang Ni's. Therefore, the government ordered a strict investigation of the north Xinjiang traders are not allowed to sell beef and mutton."

King Wei's heart moved, "It's impossible to check it completely, right?"

How could it be prohibited at such a wide junction?

"It can't be kept clean, but if you want to come in, you have to..." The butcher's face showed a look that you know how to do. "You have to give me benefits. If not, the price will go up."

"But it's not that expensive, right?" a woman complained.

The meat dealer smiled bitterly, "Originally, there were a lot of sheep in Southern Xinjiang, but this year there are a lot of thieves in Southern Xinjiang, and they want to recruit warriors. These warriors must eat meat! No, the cattle and sheep from Southern Xinjiang exported to Chang'an Most of it is missing. Alas! In addition...many things are expensive nowadays..."

Wei Qian remembered that a while ago, a royal censor had said that prices in the market were soaring. After investigation, he found that people from various places were working to extort merchants. When the tide lifted, prices would naturally rise.

This incident triggered a period of discussion, and North Korea and China vowed to crack down on officials and soldiers who were tantamount to gangsters.

"Didn't the imperial court say that the checkpoints should be cleared?" King Wei asked.

"What are you cleaning up?" The butcher cut off a front leg and prepared to weigh it. "I said a while ago that I arrested a few officials, but they were released after a few days."

"Why?" King Wei thought of officialdom, and also thought of Luo Cai. If Luo Cai was here, if he heard about such things, he would definitely be furious, and then he would roar in the court until the court made a decision. and keep an eye on implementation.

The butcher pointed at the scale and said, "Two pounds. Although the front legs are not as fleshy as the hind legs, they are more tender. You will buy them."

King Wei stretched out his hand and said, "No need to tie the straw rope."

He took the leg of lamb, threw it back from his shoulder into the basket, and then gave him money.

The butcher said: "Those officials have backers. Otherwise, how could they dare to extort money at the checkpoints around Chang'an? If the backers don't protect them, what will they do if they reveal their backers?"

"All officials in the world are black-hearted!"

"That's right, your Majesty, unfortunately, doesn't know anything."

"yes!"

Several women were full of complaints.

In their view, officials can be killed, but the emperor must be innocent.

This is the effect of thousands of years of awe of the emperor.

The butcher drove the bone chopping knife into the chopping board, making several women stare in shock. He sneered, "It's warm in the pear orchard, and you can find everything to eat."

Several women looked at him, bowed their heads and left.

The butcher regretted his words and said to King Wei: "A few women with long tongues have long hair but short knowledge."

"No."

() King Wei nodded and immediately went to buy candy.

Standing outside the market, he saw the chamberlain.

"Your Majesty has summoned you!" "I have to send the dishes back first."

"Someone's sending it." The waiter, who was an old acquaintance, waved, and a man who looked honest and honest came over.

"The villain will say that the king met some friends and was dragged to drink." The man said.

This is the third time he has helped King Wei deliver things, and he is familiar with the journey.

Until he entered the palace, King Wei was still thinking about the previous conversation.

North Korea and China are cracking down on smugglers from northern Xinjiang to Chang'an, but this is a bluff. The real situation is that checkpoints in various places use this opportunity to collect bribes from smugglers.

As soon as they enter or exit, the people suffer from rising prices.

On the southern side of Xinjiang, I don't know if it is Zhang Chumao or Shi Zhongtang who is expanding the army.

The third question is that after Luo Cai left, the officials were obviously obsessed with serving the emperor, but neglected the administration of officials.

Because people make things happen, things will inevitably not last long!

King Wei looked at the palace gate silently, feeling that it was like a huge mouth, ferocious and greedy.

The world!

Aye, did you see it?

The emperor obviously didn't see it. When King Wei entered the palace, he said in high spirits: "Shi Zhongtang from southern Xinjiang sent a raw rhinoceros, all white as snow..."

Yang Songcheng smiled and said, "This is auspicious."

The emperor glanced at King Wei who came in and suddenly lost his desire to show off.

"Aye!" King Wei saluted.

The emperor hummed, "Over in northern Xinjiang, Yang Ni sent troops and disappeared without a trace."

Yang Songcheng stroked his beard and said: "Northern Xinjiang is already difficult, but he is good at fighting every year. This is the way to his own destruction!" King Wei looked at the King of Yue silently, and found that this little brother looked a little dazed, as if he was frightened.

of.

"The people at the mirror are trying their best to find out the news." The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, "The generals said that Yang Ni is afraid that he will have a fight with Lin Jun this time. In this case, it is not a bad thing."

Yang Songcheng smiled and said: "Lin Jun took Taizhou privately, and he was also a traitor. A big fight between the two was very good."

The emperor coughed dryly and said, "Over in southern Xinjiang, Shi Zhongtang said that there are still a lot of thieves, and Zhang Chumao is a little slack."

Yang Songcheng was startled, and just when he was about to speak for his son-in-law, the emperor said, "I heard that he has been in poor health recently, so the head of state should show some sympathy to his son-in-law, hahahaha!"

This statement may seem funny, but it contains a cold meaning.

The emperor wanted to capture the southern Xinjiang army. He never concealed this idea and even adopted a foreign general as his adopted son.

Zhang Chumao was squeezed out by Shi Zhongtang in southern Xinjiang and had no place to stand, just waiting for the emperor's final statement.

Today is obviously the emperor's ultimatum to Yang Songcheng.

Yang Songcheng smiled, "This matter depends on the overall situation!"

Does your Majesty want to destroy the great situation that we have joined forces?

"Next year will be a good year." The emperor said something meaningless.

King Wei knows that this is the deadline - I can tolerate Zhang Chumao for one more year at most. In just one year, please find a safe place for your son-in-law.

This matter was not that urgent at first, but the Hanhai Jiedushi and Western Xinjiang boss Zhao Song came to Chang'an last time and surrendered to Yang Songcheng, which triggered the emperor's backlash.

If you are weak, he will be strong. In political struggles, there is no room for mercy.

But this matter is quite funny...the emperor and Zhang Chumao turned out to be brothers-in-law.
To be continued...
