"This... the old slave has been in the palace, I really don't know this." He Taigao said embarrassedly.

"I probably know a little. Those children should be from the countryside. The countryside conditions are more difficult. However, in recent years, many families in the capital have not had a good life. The main reason is that the weather has been relatively abnormal in recent years and everyone's harvest is not good." Zhao Luan said next to him.

"Yes." Wang Chong nodded silently, thinking that he had to find a way to increase the crop yield of everyone's land.

After all, the Great Yan Dynasty was still in an agricultural society, and the harvest of crops was very important to farmers.

"Go to eat something first."

Wang Chong entered a seemingly large inn.

"Customer, how many?"

The waiter ran over with great enthusiasm, but before he could get close to Wang Chong, He Taigao stopped him: "Go away from my master."

“Yes!”

The waiter knew at a glance that Wang Chong was not an ordinary person. Such a person had a lot of money. If he met a good person, he would feel comfortable serving him and could reward him with a few small amounts of money at will, which would be a considerable income.

"Just we, give me a better position downstairs." Wang Chong said.

"Okay, just go east, by the window."

"Okay."

After sitting down, Wang Chong ordered a few dishes casually, and the waiter smiled and prepared.

There were only Wang Chong and Zhao Luan sitting on the table, while He Taigao and others sat at two tables next to them.

A group of people stopped Wang Chong and Zhao Luan’s tables to prevent idle people from approaching.

This made Wang Chong a little funny. He Taigao is good at everything, but he is too careful in doing things.

At this time, I heard the storyteller in the inn talk.

After listening carefully, the storyteller seemed to be talking about what he was saying about Lu Pingying's house search.

The audience around them cheered and cheered.

"The wise king is alive. Since Lu Pingying's death, those of the Lu Party have been frightened by the news..."

What this storyteller said is mysterious enough. There are so many things that are wrong, and I just know a rough idea.

But Zhao Luan listened with relish and asked Ning'er around her to give her a reward of silver.

"Luan'er, this person is just nonsense. What are you doing to reward him?" Wang Chong said with a chuckle.

"Of course he will be rewarded for what he said so majestic."

Soon, the meal was served.

The dishes here taste OK, but they are much worse than those in the palace.

It’s no wonder. The palace doesn’t say that the chefs have carefully selected them, but the ingredients are not ordinary things. If they are not delicious, that would be strange.

"My husband, where will we go after we have finished eating?" Zhao Luan asked.

"Take a carriage and go out of the city to the countryside to take a look."

After seeing the lives of the people in the city, I naturally have to go to the countryside to take a look.

Wang Chong has always had an idea, that is, how to improve land production.

No one is lazy in this society, everyone works hard.

However, due to the weather, crop yields are not high.

But is it really because of this?

Wang Chong remembers that his royal fertile land was still well produced, and there must be something tricky about it.

The biggest trick is most likely to be uneven land allocation.

There are too many landlords, and the excessive grain produced is hit by a few people.

Those who rent the land can only work for others, and they can’t save any money in a year.

In this way, once bad weather occurs, disasters and other diseases occur, disaster victims will appear.

So Wang Chong thought: to defeat the local tyrants and divide the land.

But this involves too much and needs to be done step by step.

"Woman, this is a reward for you."

After the meal was finished, Wang Chong handed it to the waiter Er and three broken silver.

The waiter was very happy: "Thank you, my grandfather."

"I asked you something, how are your business here in the near future?"

"If you are going to the young master, it's cold recently, and fewer people come to drink." The waiter didn't know why Wang Chong asked, but he still answered truthfully.

"Uncle, okay, give me some food."

"My child hasn't eaten for several days. OK, so give me a steamed bun."

At this time, a few beggars came to the door, and they looked quite miserable.

"Go and go, where are the beggars coming from? Get out of here." The waiter went over and wanted to drive him away.

Wang Chong stopped him and said, "Hey, they are all poor families. What are they driving them to do? How many buns do you have? I have bought them all and sent them."

"Young master is kind-hearted, the young one knows."

The waiter did not dare to neglect and hurried over to clean up.

The diners next to them looked at the beggars and shook their heads secretly, "Oh, what's the use of copying so many corrupt officials? I don't know how many people have frozen to death this winter."

"Not it? It's better not to copy it. At least those corrupt officials sometimes pretend to be kind and kind, hey..."

"I heard that the rivers in Liucheng have frozen and many people can't survive and are all out to beg for food. If this continues, the world will be in chaos."

"The border has not been peaceful these days. Many people have fled. They say that there are bandits robbers and killing people from time to time. The key is that the guards are not in charge, hey..."

"It's still the emperor who is too confused."

"Sound down, now the emperor has reused the East Factory again. The people from the East Factory heard it and couldn't afford to take it away..."

Listening to these words, He Taigao walked to Wang Chong and whispered: "Old Master, let's scold them."

"No need, go."

Wang Chong shook his head. What these diners said was actually right. Catching a few corrupt officials was of course very pleasing, but it was not helpful for improving people's lives.

After coming out, Zhao Luan sighed: "Don't worry, my husband, I believe it will get better and better in the future."

"It's a pity that I don't wait for anyone. Just as those diners said, in such a cold weather, I don't know how many deaths will be made."

As he said that, a cold light flashed in Wang Chong's eyes. There was no way to solve it now, but to beware of the bandits' robbery, at least the situation could stabilize.

Secondly, it is disaster relief.

The king revisited the situation a few days ago. There are still a lot of food and grass in the treasury, so you can consider opening it up.

In addition, he remembered that according to the previous national system, every big city had to have a reserve granary for emergencies.

Thinking in his mind, Wang Chong and his group left the city.

Sure enough, Wang Chong saw many beggars along the way.

"Uncle, okay, okay, this is my daughter, very smart. She can give her some food and be a maid."

"This is my son, who can't support me anymore."

Along the way, there are many people selling their children and women.

Zhao Luan was also secretly shocked when watching this scene. If this continues, the Great Yan Dynasty will be prone to chaos.

Soon, Wang Chong came to a village and was about to enter. An incident that happened at the entrance of the village made Wang Chong's face turn down.

In front is a young man wearing a brocade dress, pulling a girl with a group of his own dog legs.

"Wang Xiaoni, your parents owe my family a year's land rent. Since you don't have any money to pay it back, you can pay it off."

The young master shouted with a smile. Many people stopped and watched the scene along the way, but no one dared to step forward.

"Mr. Ye, the harvest in the fields is not good this year. Please be tolerant and let my little girl go. She is only twelve years old..."

Next to the girl, two middle-aged men were crying and shouting.

"Fuck!"

A dog-legged with quick eyes and quick hands kicked the man over to the ground: "What are you doing? Is there any reason to owe land rent?"

"It's a blessing that my young master falls in love with your daughter, get out of here!"

"Wuwuwu, dad, mom..."

Wang Xiaoni cried like a tearful person. She was too weak and could not resist these big men at all. She was about to be captured.

The so-called Young Master Ye pointed at the middle-aged man and woman with an arrogant expression and shouted: "You still dare to be with me? I won't rent the land to you next year, what should you do!"

Seeing this, Zhao Luan couldn't stand it anymore, "My husband..."
