Chapter 704: The most worried thing (three shifts)

Gu Jiu took a sip of honey water and smiled, "I am a woman with long hair and short knowledge. I am very satisfied with my life now, and I don't want Liu Zhao to return to the court."
Ahem...
Shao Fu Jia Ling coughed several times.
He didn't expect Gu Jiu to join him in the army.
Gu Jiu still doesn't let go of the conditions.
His beard trembled and trembled, so heartbroken!
Gu Jiu laughed, "The ancestors are drinking tea, and the court is busy with errands. Besides, your majesty doesn't have to ask you to solve the food problem. It was originally an errand for the Ministry of Households, how can you let the Shaofu rush to the front."
The young man's family ridiculed himself, "It is the old man who wants to share the worries for your majesty."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "But your majesty may not want you to help him share his worries."
Shao Fu Jialing frowned, not quite understanding what this meant.
He was full of doubts, "Xiao Jiu, you see that the old man is so old that his brains are not as fast as your young people. Do you have any ideas, can you tell me directly?"
Gu Jiu tapped the desktop lightly.
After pondering for a moment, she said: "Don't hide from the ancestors, the court will receive news in a few days, and the thing you most worried about has already happened. For the court, it is simply worse."
What is the most worrying thing?
Of course someone raised their arms and took the opportunity to rebel and cause chaos.
Jia Ling's expression changed, "Surely it has happened?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "The caravans of the Four Seas Trading Company run all over the world, and the news is better than others. In addition, the government deliberately concealed it and failed to send the news in time. Of course I knew the news earlier than Chaotang."
"When did it happen? Chaotang didn't hear any movement." Shaofu Jialing asked eagerly.
Gu Jiu did not conceal, "The incident twenty days ago, and more than one. Several places have raised flags to rebel, a group of mobs, but with a small number of elite weapons, is like a broken bamboo. By the way, the latest news is that a county has been breached. , The inside should be combined with the outside, plus the siege equipment, the coming is menacing!"
"What? There are even siege equipment and elite weapons?"
The young man was taken aback.
Siege engines, like heavy weapons of later generations, rockets and missiles, belong to large-scale assault weapons.
Except for the army, anyone possessing these weapons is a rebellion.
The siege equipment seems to be very simple, but in fact, the technical content is not low.
A group of mud legs rebelled against kitchen knives, machetes and hoes. They didn't even have a serious sword, and they could make sharp siege weapons.
Shaofu Jialing asked eagerly: "This news is true?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's true!"
"No! It's not right here. This is not an ordinary rally, killing officials and rebelling."
Shaofu Jialing, who had lived to an ancient age, instantly grasped the key to the matter.
A rebel force capable of possessing siege equipment and elite weapons is definitely not an ordinary rebel.
This was clearly prepared, some people took advantage of the chaos and wanted to overthrow the great Zhou dynasty.
Shaofu Clan Ling asked anxiously, "Who rebelled?"
The clan of this dynasty can not leave Beijing without purpose.
In order to save the national treasury, so as not to harm the clan, the clan titles are all false titles, and there is no real title.
In other words, there is no fief.
Rebellion requires money, people, soldiers, weapons, and territory.
In the past, the clan houses were all sealed, with fiefs.
In those years, there was rebellion, and the first suspect was the clan.
The clan is also the most suppressed group.
However, there is no fief in the current clan, and they all nest in the capital to eat royal food. It should not be a clan rebellion.
"Which local official rebelled? Or which general rebelled?"
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, "The news sent below, Jiangling Prefecture, Jizhou, Hongzhou, there have been killings and rebellions. These places have not been peaceful in these years, the disaster is very serious, and because of the large population, it is very easy to cause Democracy.
In a short period of time, a single spark has started to start a prairie fire. But the government below did not want to solve the problem, but pressed the news and refused to report it in time. So that I missed the best time to put out a single spark. However, the news is now on the way, and the court will soon learn of this situation. "
"Who is rebelling?" The young man's family was so old that his eyebrows were burning with anxiety. Gu Jiu said so much, but refused to say who rebelled.
Gu Jiu drank a sip of honey water, "It is not a court official or a court general who rebelled. I am sorry for the limited information, but I don’t know who the rebellion was. I only know that the Jiangling Mansion’s anti-thief is spreading news about the first emperor’s reign. If you are wrong, kill your brother and kill your father. Your majesty, the courtiers and thieves, will be punishable by everyone. The names of Liu's father and son are not righteous."
Shaofu Jialing made an "Ah" cry.
"This this this..."
It looks like a way of rebellion in the clan.
But the clan are all in the capital.
"It can't be Liu Zhao's rebellion."
Gu Jiu sneered, "The ancestors really can make jokes. The prince of Liu Zhaozheng's eight classics, no one can rebel in his turn to rebel."
Although Liu Zhao was born rebellious, he is a prince, and he can succeed to the throne by political means.
It's not guilty to rebel, to ruin one's reputation, and to get a bad reputation.
The young man was anxious, "No, the old man must inform your majesty of this news in time."
Gu Jiu's face sank, and he said unhappily, "Is the ancestor trying to harm me? My news is faster than the imperial post, and not one day or two days, at least five or six days. Let your majesty know, your majesty What will you do with me?
I trusted my ancestors and told them the truth. The old ancestor backhanded me to your majesty, then our cooperation can only end here. What kind of food, what kind of court, get out! "
The young man made regrets, "It's the old man who is confused, worrying about it, and forgetting your situation. But for such a big thing, does the old man want to hide it from your majesty?"
Gu Jiu lowered his voice and whispered: "The ancestors can send someone to the south to find out. I believe someone in the prefectures along the way has received the news. I also believe that I am not the only person who knows this. There must be other people in the capital who have heard the news early.
Especially those high-ranking officials with ancestral homes in Jiangling, Jizhou and other places, aristocratic families. Their news is very informative. These people are behind the soaring food prices in Beijing. Obviously they got the news a long time ago and started to speculate on food prices in Beijing. "
Shaofu Jialing nodded repeatedly, which was reasonable.
"The old man knows what to do. The old man will find another source of information, and he will definitely get rid of you. It's just a matter of food, and you still need your help."
Gu Jiu laughed, "There is no need to worry about the food issue. The ancestors will confirm the news first. When the news of the rebellion spreads throughout the court, it will not be too late for us to discuss this issue."
The young man was puzzled, and he asked straightforwardly: "What are your plans? What do you want to do?"
"It's not what I want to do? It depends on what your majesty intends to do? It's time for some of your majesty's confidant generals to release the capital to practice."
Gu Jiu looked at Shaofu Jialing with a smile, her smile full of meaning.
Because her information was better than others, it was obvious that she and Liu Zhao had planned everything long ago. Everything went according to plan step by step.
The young man knew well that he couldn't tell the truth.
No matter what, he just made a and followed Gu Jiu's arrangement.
Do not seek merit, but seek reactive.
If you can persuade Gu Jiu to bring food out to save people, it will be a great accomplishment.
Gu Jiu did not rush to leave after sending away the order from the Shaofu family.
She looked at Xinmin County, where the singing and dancing were rising, and asked the servant Zhao Minfa, "When will your master come back?"
Zhao Minfa's master is Deng Cunli.
Zhao Minfa bowed and said, "Mrs. Qi, the last time he communicated, the master was still in the northwest with General Pei and the others."
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.
Xiliang commerce was full of all kinds of wrangling from the beginning.
Xu Yousi can manage the warehouse, but he has no ability to deal with the treacherous father and son Luhou Pei Meng.
Luhou Pei Meng, the father and son, are simply the king of pitfalls, and they will be pitted by them if they are not careful.
There is no other way but to let Deng Cunli deal with the father and son.
Deng Cunli initially presided over the overall situation in the Northwest, and now he returns to the Northwest to preside over the overall situation, which is very suitable.
As for Qianfu, as early as five years after Wende returned from Xiliang, he was sent out by Liu Zhao.
As of this year, no one has been seen.
It is estimated that it was in the Jiangling Mansion area, inquiring about the news of the anti-thief.
The situation in Beijing has become too fast, and many plans need to be reformulated. Gu Jiu had to recall Deng Cunli to the capital for discussion.
Some things can only be explained in person.
Letters are never so convenient.
Gu Jiu told Zhao Minfa, "Contact Zhou Miao and Duke Zhou, my wife hopes that he can move."
Zhao Minfa bowed his orders and talked about another matter, "General Manager Chen sent someone to ask his wife for instructions. Should the butcher shops and grain and oil shops under the four seas go on the market and increase prices? Now there are no grain and oil shops in Beijing except for the four seas. No price increase."
Gu Jiu tapped the table lightly, "You can increase the price, but don't increase it too sharply. The purchase price below is also increased appropriately. In order to prevent people from collecting grain, all the grain and oil shops under the four seas are subject to purchase restrictions.
For other grain and oil merchants who have cooperated with each other, my wife hopes that they will also implement purchase restrictions. As long as they are willing to support this lady, she will have a good return in the future. Don't forget to say to Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci too, lest the Zhu family think that the first wife is squeezing them out. "
In fact, Gu Jiu is squeezing out the Zhu family.
In recent years, in order to suppress the commercial territory of the Zhu family, Gu Jiu has not been worried.
"Follow your orders! Madam, do you have other orders?"
"Is there any news from the south?"
Zhao Minfa shook his head, "The news that Father Rong was received in Shanghai is still last year's Mid-Autumn Festival. Counting the time, maybe it's already back. Would you like to send someone to remind you?"
"Hurry up! You can count on them for disaster relief food."
