Chapter 1110 Discussion

"Then I have to thank you, Master Chen."

"Please, Your Majesty, please." Chen Zhixian enthusiastically led the way.

Pang Xiao nodded and looked back at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining smiled and motioned for him to go ahead. He followed behind with his maid and entourage, and behind him was an empty carriage.

A group of people headed towards the Yamen. Qin Yining has been to Jingang many times. This time, he saw that the streets were in a state of decay and decay.

Fortunately, this place is close to the sea and the situation is slightly better than what we saw along the way. But the city, shrouded in the clouds of famine, is still lifeless. Not to mention that the people are like withered grass that has been drained of moisture. Even the roof tiles and wine flags are much dilapidated. Weeds are crawling out from the gaps in the floor tiles, and the weather is getting colder. Withered and yellow, the entire Golden Harbor seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, lifeless and indescribably decadent.

Mr. Chen came to the Yamen because of Pang Xiao and his entourage, and said with a smile: "Knowing that the prince is coming, the official has already placed his family elsewhere. The prince and the princess just stay in peace, and the official is outside. If you have any instructions, Just give me orders at any time."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen." Pang Xiao thanked him kindly.

Mr. Chen shook his head and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. This is what the lower official does. I just hope that the prince can do his best to find a way for the people. The lower official is willing to work like a cow or a horse!"

A word of thanks actually made Mr. Chen sigh with emotion.

Qin Yining watched from the side, and really felt that it was rare for Mr. Chen to be so straight-tempered even after his age. What was even more rare was that this man had a pure mind and did it for the people, not just for himself. This made people have to respect him.

Master Chen quickly left and went to pacify the people.

Pang Xiao and Qin Yining temporarily arranged their rituals and settled down.

Huzi and Jingzhe guarded the surroundings of the bedroom very tightly. Qin Yining asked Pang Xiao in a low voice, "Mr. Xie, where have they gone? They should be here soon."

"They set off earlier than us, took some detours, and deliberately avoided us for fear of attracting attention. I think it will only take them two days to arrive."

Qin Yining nodded, took the soft duck down mattress that Ji Yun took out from the bag, and laid it on the official hat chair placed by the window. He patted it gently and said, "Come and have a rest. It's so bumpy and tiring along the way. I don’t know if the wound has ever opened.”

Pang Xiao couldn't help laughing when he looked at the thick and soft mattress.

Before going out, Qin Yining made this overnight because he was worried that he would feel uncomfortable while riding. He felt very comfortable sitting up,

"I'm not a piece of paper. It's almost healed. Will the wound open somewhere? Just relax."

Having said that, it still hurts slightly when I sit down.

Pang Xiao naturally didn't care. He fought on the battlefield and suffered countless major and minor injuries. Some of the scars on his body could not be remembered when and what he was injured. They were just slaps. For him, the beating itself made him more angry than the pain.

But Qin Yining seemed to feel the pain that Pang Xiao didn't care about. Seeing his movements sluggish for a moment when he sat down, Qin Yining said hurriedly: "Don't rush to do things these days. It's important to recuperate first. If you want to explore the city Let the people below handle the situation separately, so that we can investigate more clearly."

Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, raised his hand and pinched Qin Yining's fair and tender face, "I am nagging like this at such a young age, and I am almost becoming an old mother."

"I'm too lazy to talk to someone else." Qin Yining rolled her eyes at him, her eyes twinkling like waves.

Pang Xiao felt that this woman was so alluring all the time. Just one look at her made his heart flutter, and he pulled her into his arms, shocking Qin Yining.

"do what?"

She received no answer from Pang Xiao, only his warm lips falling on her fair face and cheeks.

He cherished his movements as if Qin Yining was a rare treasure he had obtained with great difficulty.

Qin Yining tried not to press Pang Xiao, lest his wounds hurt. But his warm and solid embrace and his cherishing and joyful eyes made Qin Yining's heart feel hot and moved.

They have been married for many years and have had many ups and downs along the way, with less time together and more separation. But he has never been swayed by prosperity, and he always treats her the same way.

Qin Yining's body and heart softened, and she leaned on his shoulder to enjoy this rare moment of silence.

At this time, the two of them didn't want to talk about state affairs. She just wanted to be with Pang Xiao. If she could live her own life peacefully, that would be enough.

She doesn't need any glory or wealth, she just wants the whole family to be together safely.

It's just that the natural disasters are getting more and more serious now, and people are rising up against Li Qitian everywhere, and Li Qitian is so afraid of Pang Xiao,

The Great Zhou Dynasty now has powerful enemies externally, internal troubles internally, and natural disasters.

The right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people are all indispensable, and I cannot ignore these things because of my status as a pang owl.

Qin Yining only allowed himself to be weak for a moment.

Because she knew that if she wanted to realize her dream and live a peaceful life as a family, there was indeed something she could do while the world was in chaos.

"Zhixi, it's better to order people to carefully observe the situation in the city these days. Since Mr. Xie and the others are coming soon, we must make preparations in advance."

Facing her bright eyes, Pang Xiao could no longer care about anything else. He placed a few more gentle kisses on her cheeks before compromising under her unwilling eyes, "Don't worry, I will handle these carefully. But from what I can see now, I’m afraid the immovable treasures are not enough to keep the people alive.”

Qin Yining looked a little heavy, nodded and said, "Do you think so?"

"If the Holy One could get food, why would he go to all the trouble of cheating and scheming? Who wouldn't want to rub powder on his face? From this point of view, the Holy One really does not have money to buy food and grass. In addition, the granaries in various places have been abandoned for many years. This is the critical moment. I can't get any rice.

"Our Great Zhou Dynasty has indeed experienced natural and man-made disasters, but as for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the harvest has been cut off. There is still food, and there must be stocks from previous years, but these are not in the hands of the Holy One."

Pang Xiao hit the point with just one sentence. Qin Yining nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. There are people everywhere who are struggling to make a fortune. Those merchants and wealthy families are more likely to work hard than ordinary people and have financial resources to support them. This year's natural disaster has been foreshadowed for a long time, so they started hoarding food at that time, and now they sell it at a high price. They can make a lot of money and feed their families at the same time. It's the best of both worlds."

"Isn't it? You have thoroughly analyzed their hearts." Pang Xiao patted her delicate shoulder with his big hand and said with a smile: "But don't worry, they are collecting grain for business. If the Holy Spirit really can't get it, When rice comes, we have to find a way to buy it from these wealthy households who have grain crops."

When it comes to purchasing, it is natural to use treasure money.

"I know. I also think that it is good to take the treasure from the people and use it for the people. But I am a little worried. After all, those who know about the treasure are your cronies, and they have tried their best to assist you. It cannot be denied that they all have more or less thoughts on pursuing a career as a dragon.

"These are the people around you, and you'd better not make decisions that chill them."

Pang Xiao sighed helplessly: "Han Xin won't, but I can already predict that if you want to use that treasure, you will have to go through a complicated process. Many of them will not be willing to let me use the money to give it to the people. of."

Qin Yining looked solemn: "This is what I am worried about. Your entourage and counselors are doing their best to follow us. Naturally, their emotions have to be taken into consideration. But whether this money should be used by the people, it can also become The topic of discussion shows that these people are against it.

"If you can't persuade them, I'm afraid they will become more and more dissatisfied with you. This is understandable. They follow you because they want you to get into that position."

Pang Xiao didn't say anything, he just put his arms around Qin Yining's waist and held him in his arms.

What Qin Yining said was very simple and clear. She worried that if he insisted on using the treasure, those who followed him would rebel and they would have a lot of his secrets in their hands. This was a very big change for him.

But can he not care about the lives of the people just because he is worried about these?

If he did this, he would really become a person like Li Qitian.

"Don't worry. I will take care of these things."

When Qin Yining heard what Pang Xiao said, he stopped continuing the topic. Anyway, the result is the same for them. As long as they serve the people, it may be difficult to escape some fixed fate.

Throughout the next day, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao arranged for people to go to the city to investigate the situation.

The news they received was still more disappointing and helpless than they imagined.

Even in such a city near the sea, half of the people are starving to death.

Although the photos here are better than the miserable situation I encountered on the way here, with ten rooms and nine empty rooms. But Qin Yining still couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

In the evening, when the sky was full of red clouds, Hu Zi came back and forth: "Prince, Princess, Tang Xiu came guarding Mr. Xie, Mr. Xu and several other gentlemen. At this time, they had arrived at the hall in front of the second courtyard through the side door. "

Pang Xiao thought for a while, stood up and said to Qin Yining: "You rest first, I'll go see some gentlemen."

Qin Yining knew that he was going to discuss serious matters, so he nodded with a smile: "Go ahead and wait for you to come back and have dinner together. Don't be impatient if anything happens. Let's discuss it and deal with it."

Since Qin Yining said this, he concluded that his trip would definitely encounter obstacles.

"I understand, don't worry. I'm not that unreasonable person."

Qin Yining stood up and sent Pang Xiao out.

When I arrived at the second gate, I couldn't help but warn: "This is not the place to talk. You should be careful."

Pang Xiao looked back at Qin Yining, who was nagging him. Seeing that her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together, he couldn't help but smile reassuringly: "Don't worry. I know how to deal with it."

Qin Yining could only nod, and returned to the room with Ji Yun and Bingtang worriedly.

When Pang Xiao arrived at the front hall, he met a group of counselors and confidants headed by Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi. He ordered Hu Zi and Tang Xiu to watch with their elite tiger guards outside and not allow anyone to approach. Then he asked in a low voice: "Is this the case?" What do you gentlemen think of the scenes I saw along the way?"
