Queen Mother is a Scientist

Chapter 240: The Empress Dowager

"Prickly ash has also gone up! When it's over, I haven't tuned in the pepper yet. I won't chat with you anymore. I have to buy it back. Otherwise, I won't know what the price will be tomorrow." Luo Muyu turned around after hearing Huan'er's words. I just ran, and it looked nothing like the parturient who had just finished her confinement.

"How come prices are so messy?" Hua Qingxue was really surprised. Prices are the basis of a country's long-term stability. If it is allowed to grow wildly, it will cause panic and even riots among the people, with serious consequences.

"Does the court care?" Hua Qingxue immediately thought that the court would make a difference: "It shouldn't be so serious. You store some necessary things, and put other less important materials first. , It is possible to buy after the price has stabilized over time."

"Yes, ma'am, what we buy today is exactly what we need now." Huan'er and Xi'er answered honestly.

Hua Qingxue nodded, and it was a bit unclear how he could be so crazy at the feet of the emperor.

"Someone is manipulating behind."

Fu Tingye came back and answered Hua Qingxue's doubts for the first time.

"It turns out that this is the case." This kind of thing in the economic category is not her specialty, so she is not clear, but listening to Fu Tingye said this, it is indeed the case.

When the merchant covers the goods and sells them at a price, the market price will fluctuate.

"But, what is the purpose of doing this, is it simply to accumulate wealth? If the court finds out who is the one who is behind the ghosts, it will not be easily let go. When the indictment is down, it is not that the whole family is ashamed. "

"It's not very clear. The man can control the prices of so many items in Shengjing, it must not be simple." Fu Tingye said lightly: "It's just that the purpose behind him seems to be for the queen mother."

It turned out to be the empress's Liang Zi... Hua Qingxue had some incredible open mouth.

"Okay, since it's not our business, or worry about it." Hua Qingxue sighed and seemed to relax.

Fu Tingye pursed her lips: "No, I also hold the attitude of watching the fire from the other side."

I don't know if the empress is at this moment, but she still has the mood to eat.

In the Cining Palace, Zheng Shumin, who was remembered by Fu Tingye at the moment, couldn't eat. Not only that, but he also dropped several blue and white porcelains made by several official kilns, each of which is unique, and only this one.

But Zheng Shumin was not distressed, it was the maidens such as Aster who were distressed.

"The queen mother is angry and hurt you. You still have to pay attention to your body." A group of palace people kneeled down underneath while kneeling on the marble floor of the main hall, as well as a number of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs .

This time the prices have skyrocketed, and beyond everyone's expectations, the court has exhausted all its stocks and is still unable to hold down prices that are like evil.

I don't know which string is wrong. Rumors are flying in the market. Under the panic mood, the people have started to pay for food, and there have been countless incidents of beating and fighting under the mad robbery.

Even Jing Zhaoyin's threshold was flattened by various complainants.

"Waste! It's all a group of waste!" Zheng Shumin yelled: "Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! How do you monitor it on weekdays? This kind of thing can happen. Did the court distribute your wages every month to let you do this? ?!"

None of the officials could lift their heads.

Cowardly did not dare to squeak.

"Hushang Shangshu! Gongbu Shangshu! Should the two adults give a solution, should the situation let the people develop and let the people turn the sky?" Zheng Shumin came over with a teacup and fell exactly on the kneeling position of the two Shangshu .

The two ministers were also the old ministers of North Korea and China, but this kind of thing was met for the first time, and the situation changed too quickly. They would not find any good plan for a while, and they could only continue to accept the abuse of the queen mother with their heads down.

"Why did the Queen Mother make such a big fire." A calm and simple voice came, followed closely, and the left phase walked slowly into the hall.

When Zheng Shumin saw him later, he quelled some anger: "The prime minister must have known it. Now that I am at a loss, I don't know if the prime minister can have a countermeasure?"

The left hand arched to her: "The minister came for this matter."

"please say."

Zuo Xiang paused and said, "The court should immediately issue a city-wide announcement to appease the hearts of the people, and at the same time open up Huangcang to replenish the market's shortfalls and suppress the market price."

This is an idea.

After Zheng Shumin listened, he immediately asked the Ministry of Industry and Household to proceed with the process.

A number of officials finally retreated, leaving only one leftist in the main hall.

"The Prime Minister still has something to report?" Zheng Shumin sat down and calmed down a little, but what the left minister said next made her irritable again.

Because Zuo Xiang told her that the treasury is now on the verge of a deficit, and a large amount of cash is urgently needed to maintain the turnover, otherwise the court will be very dangerous.

Zheng Shumin squeezed his fist subconsciously, his nails deep in the flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Finally, after Zuo Xiang left, Zheng Shumin hurriedly walked out of Cining Palace and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

Li Jingnan was reading a book, and he couldn't help guarding against the familiar fragrance. He knew that the queen mother was approaching. When she slowly put down the book, the queen mother's figure also appeared in sight.

"Which book you read recently, can you share it with your mother?" Zheng Shumin was irritable, but when he saw Li Jingnan, those annoying things suddenly became less important.

However, Li Jingnan looked indifferent: "It's just some idle books that my mother doesn't like."

Zheng Shumin was rejected, but he was in a good mood: "I came today and there is something to discuss with you."

A sharp edge flashed in Li Jingnan's heart. For the time being, Chen Yuan's resignation had been a few days today, and he should have come.

"Please talk about it."

He was also in a good mood, so he used the invitation word, but Zheng Shumin did not notice it.

"Prince Liaoguo is going to buy my country's Zhentianlei, what do you think of this?" Zheng Shumin sat down outside the railing, his tone was ordinary, as if the two were chatting at home.

Li Jingnan lowered his eyes slightly. It turned out that this was the case, and Xiao Han was indeed persistent. After buying it for so long, he hadn't bought it yet.

"It's all up to the mother." Li Jingnan's rules and obedience are not like the rebellious boy.

For a moment, Zheng Shumin almost thought that the person in front of him was not the child who was in conflict with him at that moment, but the look of the child in his heart.

"Child, you can finally understand your mother's mood." Zheng Shumin was very moved, and the mist in her eyes was wavy.

After being locked for so long, did Li Jingnan finally understand?

That’s great... not to waste her good intentions for so long.

"..." Li Jingnan did not answer.

This question is too difficult, he didn't know where to start.

"It's okay, it's okay, there is a process. The mother will be waiting for you, waiting for that day..." Zheng Shumin burst into tears and burst into tears, crying to herself.

However, she did not find that her tears were blurred, and her gaffe did not produce any emotion in front of Li Jingnan.

I don't know how long it took. When Zheng Shumin calmed down again, it was already half an hour later.

Li Jingnan had laid himself down to take a nap, and Zheng Shumin looked at his back, only to feel that the years were quiet, this should be the most harmonious time since the mother-child relationship.

very good.

She left in a hurry, there are many things waiting for her to layout.

The left ministers urged the rich merchants in Shengjing City to donate money to alleviate the impending urgency of the court. The queen mother also contacted her family again. The Zheng family has relied on the queen mother to rely on Taiwan for many years and has secretly benefited a lot.

The Queen Mother needs support at this moment, and several homeowners mean to agree, but where is the old lady...not easy to deal with.

"Huh! Sheng'er returned to Beijing and she hasn't asked me a question now. It's too ridiculous! Only when something happens will we think of us! What help? Let her have a hard time for a while!" Zheng Sheng's anger.

Several homeowners could not change her old man's mind even if they persuaded. In a moment, things came to a deadlock.

Above the test flight ground behind the College of Science, guards have patrolled back and forth since the afternoon.

Tong Tong has been playing nearby for a long time, and he has caught his eyes from time to time, but he is approaching the sunset, and Huan'er suddenly finds her, so that she will take her to the streets to play.

Tong Tonghang, however, can only follow Huan'er, but his heart is clear, the general is deliberately supporting her.

I'm afraid that there are important things in the house tonight.

She had a good hunch that Hua Qingxue had made a bomb developed with a new type of purified gunpowder, and officially tested the effect on the open ground tonight.

Everything is ready. After dusk, the sky is blue and empty.

Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue came together. Before that, Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen were all ready. Just wait for two people to give an order, and then try to explode.

"General, ma'am, can I start now?" a bodyguard approached and asked.

Hua Qingxue looked up at Fu Tingye: "General, you decide."

Fu Tingye looked serious, frowned, and pondered for a moment, saying, "No! The test tonight is cancelled."

Ah... everyone was slightly surprised.

Hua Qingxue was also puzzled: "Isn't it a good time agreed in advance, why change the date?"

Fu Tingye pursed her lips: "It's not a change of schedule, but this place is not remote enough."

Hua Qingxue instantly realized that the location of her other courtyard was sent by Li Jingnan. Although it was a suburb of Beijing, it was also a place where people gathered.

Although the test flight is a clean place, it is only relatively speaking.

Compared with the original test site at Panshui Camp, the smoke was still heavier, and the power of the bomb was huge. There was no silencing and isolation around... It was indeed that he had not thought about it.

"Well, listen to the general." Hua Qingxue nodded and expressed understanding.

Fu Tingye drove her back, and after a few dumbfounded moments, she began to pack up and undo equipment.

When Hua Qingxue and Fu Tingye came back, Zhao Sheng was already waiting.

"Zhao Guanjia, did you discuss the details of the cooperation with Tang Men?" Hua Qingxue expected the other party to go back and forth about this matter. Sure enough, Zhao Sheng nodded at her: "Yes, my wife, it's almost the same. I bring the agreement here. Manual, please read it."

"In addition, the son of Tang Yu has a sentence for me to convey to you."
