Chapter 248: See the assassination again
Who is the richest person? Emperor? No, the things in the treasury belong to the country. The emperor himself is not very rich, and the treasury is now empty, so Emperor Taixi is living even worse.
Powerful officials? Although there are many industries under their name, there will be many restrictions. At least one thing, officials are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, which means that they cannot be too arrogant even if they make money.
As long as the common people can have a family of food and clothing, they will be very satisfied, and they will not have much money.
Merchants, no, should be called merchants or magnificent merchants. These are the richest people. They have low status, but their ability to make money is definitely the best, especially the few large chambers of commerce that are worth a few times more surplus than the entire Datai treasury, and it is still increasing year by year.
Therefore, Chu Shaolin is targeting these giant merchants. The strategy is actually very simple. Merchants are not short of money, but their status is too low. Even if the imperial gift is worthless, as long as the imperial gift is called, it is enough for these people to go crazy.
So a very strange scene appeared in the outskirts of the capital city. On the one hand, there was a hot auction. The auctions were all gifts from the emperor, including silk, satin, pen, ink, paper and ink, and even rare fruits from foreign countries. A group of red-eyed merchants bid in a crazy manner, desperately trying to grab one or two to take them back. Not only did they shine the ancestors, but they also had the gifts from the emperor in the future. When they saw those officials who were skinned, they also had the confidence. I had the gifts from the emperor in my hand, so how dare you be too much about me?
However, the King of Zhenbei was first. The merchants participating in the auction did not use silver notes, gold and silver, but cotton coats and rice. Trucks of rice, grain and cotton coats were transported in. Once the auction was successfully bid, someone would come to hand over immediately.
On the other side were the victims who were not covered in clothes and were pale and thin. For safety reasons, Jian Yiping prepared the guards and guards for Chu Shaolin were all elite soldiers from Zhenbei Army. When he stood there, his fierce aura of battle was inadvertently emitted. He was stared at by such a row of people, and everyone was lined up in a regular manner, waiting to receive the relief rice and grain.
That's right, the rice and grain obtained from the other side will be sent here immediately and distributed to these poor people in need of relief.
Qin Shu's proposal was accepted, but she herself was rejected, because the pregnant woman did not approach the medicine, so she had to sit aside and watch it idle. Ning Ce, Wen Qing and Mo Li were all sweating profusely. Even so, the poor people who came to seek medical treatment still lined up.
Angelica Yuanzhi was working on the side, sorting medicinal materials and distributing pills, and was also busy.
"I feel like I'm useless." Qin Shu puffed up his cheeks and held his chin in dissatisfaction: "Everyone is busy, and I'm the only one watching it."
"How could it be?" Magpie hurriedly explained to her princess: "This is all the princess's idea, there are countless living people! Besides, Princess, you are not in a special situation at the moment, so you have to think about it for the little prince. I heard that many poor families have set up tablets of immortality for the prince and princess. You two will be like the legendary ones, and thousands of families will have Buddhas."
Do you still know how to give birth to Buddhas from all over the world? Qin Shu looked at the reckless girl with a little surprise and laughed: "What kind of gifts from all over the world? We are not gods."
That's not necessarily the case. The magpie muttered in her heart, and her eyes secretly looked at Qin Shu's lower abdomen, full of awe. The little prince is not an ordinary person. He is so powerful before he was born. He must be a big man in the future! Maybe he is the reincarnation of a god in the sky. The princess is the mother of a god. Isn't that a god?
"Princess!" Jian Yiping walked over with a smile: "If the princess feels bored, you can go nearby. We have arranged someone to protect the princess, so there is no need to worry."
Jian Yiping was so satisfied with this princess. Although she looked gentle, she was definitely not the kind of delicate girl who couldn't lift her up. She was so soft on the outside and firm on the inside. She was determined and smart on the inside, so she could match their prince.
Moreover, when the princess was pregnant, Jian Yiping had already secretly found the famous Master Lefan. The princess was pregnant with the little prince in her belly, and it seemed that it was not easy to come to Li. The old prince was once called Pojun Star and descended to earth. Could it be that the future little prince is also a star in the sky?
Qin Shu was indeed unable to help staying here, and the people around him looked at her strangely: "Okay, I won't bother you."
"Prince, please." Jian Yiping smiled and sent someone to follow him to protect him. He turned around and told the people around him: "People from the north should be coming soon. We must protect the princess during this period, so as not to cause trouble. Everything is important to help the prince escape from the north."
"Yes!" Several people understood it, looked up at the lively scenes around them, and smiled knowingly.
Whether it is the old prince or the current prince, it is so powerful to win people's hearts. Only they can do it.
The suburbs of Beijing were originally deserted, but later, after discovering many hot springs here, it became very popular. Although it is still the suburbs of Beijing, all those who can occupy a piece of land here are famous people.
Because Chu Shaolin and Qin Shushen made a move, the poor people from all directions were trying hard to squeeze here. There were brightly dressed wealthy servants, but more were ragged poor people.
Most of these people are grateful to the King of Zhenbei, but some idle lazy men are indispensable. Qin Shu has seen several people who are obviously in a state of turmoil. They are not as pale and thin as real victims, but they are red and look like they have no less food and drink.
Forget it, you can see that such people themselves, and you won’t be able to get away with it when you come to those managers. The Princess of Zhenbei said that she doesn’t mind bleeding to rescue the refugees, but she really minds these idle villains who are idling and taking advantage of it!
"Child! My child!" A woman who was queuing in the crowd suddenly started crying, holding a small swaddle cloth tightly with her hands, and her face buried in the swaddle cloth: "Who will save my child!"
Qin Shu paused and said, "Go and see, what's going on? If the situation is serious, let her get in the team and take a look first. I think everyone won't mind."
But before the woman could pass by, the woman had already discovered Qin Shu not far away, and staggered out of the crowd, hugged the cradle tightly and knelt in front of Qin Shu: "A kind-hearted female Bodhisattva, please save my child! Please!"
Qin Shu subconsciously took a step back, and Qing Lan and Xi Mai next to her immediately supported her left and right, and the guards were alert.
Her eyes turned around the seemingly miserable woman, wearing old clothes, with patches on it, but it could be seen that the clothes should have been made of good materials, with several embroidery on it, although they had been dimly ground, their hair was messy, and their face was covered with dust.
However, a golden needle had appeared between Qin Shu's fingers, and he secretly raised his vigilance. Such a seemingly poor and miserable woman had black hair and no dryness. Her dirty face did not reveal her original skin color. Her eyes were very beautiful when she cried, giving people a pitiful feeling.
Such a weak little rabbit-like woman can contact poor families who have suffered difficulties and have nowhere to live.
"Who are you?" Qin Shu's eyes turned cold. Her willingness to help the poor does not mean that she is willing to be plotted against by these fake poor people: "You are not a refugee at all!"
Ning Shen’s alert guard next to him shrank his pupils, and with a squeak, the sword on his waist was unsheathed: “Who are you?”
The woman seemed to be frightened silly, and the swaddle clothes tightly held in her arms seemed to fall: "No, no, no, I have no malice! I just want to beg you to save my child!" As she said that, she suddenly threw the child in her arms at Qin Shu, full of malice: "Just help me see!"
She suddenly threw the child away, and frightened the people who were waiting for medical treatment and collecting rice and grain to exclaim loudly. Several people even rushed out and tried to reach out and catch the child.
"Princess, be careful!" The guards did not dare to take it lightly. The woman suddenly threw the child out. The matter was incredible. Even if they were on guard, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The woman who threw out the child had a strange smile on her face and rushed forward, hugging Qin Shu's legs tightly: "Die, die! Let's die together!"
Qin Shu had already sensitively smelled the breath of sulfur. After the small swaddle was thrown out, a corner wrapped outside dispersed, revealing the thunder inside. The long lead had long been ignited, and it was burning to the end.
"Princess!" Qing Lan blocked Qin Shu without hesitation. Magpie pulled Qin Shu hard and wanted to avoid it. However, the woman hugged her tightly and refused to let go. In a hurry, Magpie stretched out her legs and kicked the arms that were tightly hugging her.
"Princess, be careful!" As soon as the Zhentian Lei appeared, everyone was shocked and wanted to throw the Zhentian Lei out crazy. (To be continued)
