Shen Qingci actually agreed.

It's still so simple, just agree.

"Prince, we have to report this to the Holy One." Although the food shortage cannot be regarded as a solution, the shortage of granaries can be replaced to some extent by Shen Qingci's ones, which can not only protect the court and Emperor Wenyuan The good reputation of loving the people like a son also prevents some restless people from doing things that cause rebellion.

And such hidden dangers can indeed save a lot of things and people for today's Da Zhou.

The prince originally wanted to say a few more words to Lao Yuyi, but because Bai Xiang was so eager, he could only remain silent in the end.

When they told the matter to Emperor Wenyuan, Emperor Wenyuan felt that he was quite useless. Why could Shen Qingci, a woman, think of collecting grain, but he didn't? If this happened In famine years, at least the lives of many people can be saved.

"Your Majesty, we still need to collect food."

Bai Xiang said to Emperor Wenyuan again.

"How to conquer?"

Emperor Wenyuan didn't have much of a clue now. This food shortage issue had been in the minds of the people for several months, but now, he still had no solution.

There is no food here, so how can we go to conquer it, unless there are hundreds of people like Shen Qingci who collect food here every year.

"The treasury was opened and food was collected from various places."

"Your Majesty may have to lose some silver."

This is the best way Bai Xiang can think of, that is to buy food with silver.

The rich gather food just for money, while the poor have neither money nor food, so they can only wait to die. Not everyone in this world is Shen Qingci.

You can give out so much food without feeling distressed, and you can even hand over the food for free. What is the difference between this and giving it away for free?

She won't get anything here, gold, silver, fame, and the gratitude of the people.

But others are different, most of them are for money. It is difficult to take away food from these people.

So Emperor Wenyuan was asked to spend some money. This was talking about collecting grain, but in fact, the money was used to buy grain. This would not only prevent the rich from complaining too much, but also allow more people to be collected. Food saves more people’s lives.

In Bai Xiang's view, the selfishness of human nature can only be understood at this time.

"Prince, you can handle this matter."

Emperor Wenyuan also felt that this was feasible without losing some money. He was not poor now. All the treasures of the previous dynasty were in his treasury and could be used for a hundred years. Moreover, he had collected a lot of tax money in the past few years. , even without those things that went to court, the tax money is enough. In addition, there has been no war for a long time, and everything is going well, so now he is asked to spend more money, and he will not feel bad.

Take it from the people and use it for the people.

This is a matter of course.

The prince responded quickly and took his entourage to collect food.
