Chapter 635: The Way to Divide the Field (Thank you Moonlight Little Wolf 5500)(2/2)
Royal Palace.
Wang Chongzheng corrected the memorial.
Because of the recent major reforms in the palace, memorials from many places have been sent one after another, and Wang Dong personally corrected them.
After reading a lot of memorials, Wang Chong frowned deeper and deeper.
There have been many places where people have frozen to death, especially in some remote areas, where large-scale bandits have appeared.
These bandits were extremely arrogant, not only robbing villagers, but also harassing passing caravans along the way.
Now, there are no caravans entering and leaving in many areas, which has caused prices in the city to soar and there is not enough food and grass. If this continues, it will not only freeze to death, but also starve to death.
Originally, Wang Chong planned to divide the land, but after reading these memorials, he felt that there were three problems at present.
First: Disaster victims.
Second: Bandits.
Third: Food!
Food is the most important thing for people, and there will be chaos without food.
"Da Boy, how have you been purchasing grain and grass these days?" Wang Chong asked He Taigao on the side.
"It is being purchased, but the effect is not ideal. Many big families said they do not have food in their hands. However, according to the old slave, it is probably because they want to make a fortune in the national crisis."
Whenever the country is in crisis, some merchants will always hoard goods, raise grain prices, and make money from the country.
Therefore, in the past few days, Wang Chong wanted to collect food and grass to help the victims, but he could not receive much food and grass at all.
"The main ones who check the wholesale food and grass are several aristocratic families. I want to catch them all in one go!"
At this time, I still want to make money. How can I relieve my hatred if I don’t kill a few of them?
The next morning court was cold and the ground was frozen.
Dozens of ministers had been waiting at the entrance of the Golden Palace for a long time, but the Golden Palace still couldn't open the door.
"Hey, I heard that there are many victims recently, and several merchants came over to say that the convoy was robbed." A minister said sadly.
