Chapter 274
"Why, do you still want to entrap more people? This 100 taels of silver is not enough for you to earn?"
Ling Xiao deliberately said to the shop owner at this time.
"Your Majesty, Caomin dare not! Caomin just hopes that His Majesty will give me a chance. Now we also know that what we did is really wrong, but this is what we worked hard to figure out."
"I spent a lot of money back then, if it was sealed, then my little boys and I would have to drink the northwest wind!"
At this time, he said with snot and tears.
They are also seniors, old and young, and the few members of the family rely on them to make a living with this camp.
But if this side is sealed now, it will also cut off their escape route, how will they live in the future?
After the store owner said this, several of his guys also responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please forgive us this time. We will never dare to do it again in the future!"
Seeing this, Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment. At this time, he looked at Wu Zhao next to him and asked her.
"Zhao'er, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Wu Zhao thought for a moment and then said to Ling Xiao.
"Your Majesty, they are just as your Majesty said just now. Although they did something wrong this time, if it weren't for the support of the household servants behind them, they would not have the courage to do so."
"Now that the Minister of the Household Department has been investigated, they have no one to back them up, so I think we can give them a chance!"
Wu Zhao also analyzed this matter from an objective point of view. She knew that it was really not easy for ordinary people like them.
And although His Majesty wants to rectify the atmosphere among the people, as the saying goes, knowing your mistakes can make a big difference.
If these people really want to understand, then Wu Zhao feels that they should give them a chance. Only in this way can they see whether these people have truly changed.
Ling Xiao carefully thought about what Wu Zhao said and felt that what she said did make sense.
Although these people are indeed wrong, but now they are so sincere, so I will give them a chance.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said to them: "In that case, this matter is settled. You can continue to open the restaurant, but I hope you can continue to open it at the lowest price. Do you understand?"
lowest price……
When the shop owner heard this, he was a little embarrassed for a while, but he knew that His Majesty had given him a chance now.
Then he quickly kowtowed and said to Ling Xiao: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This store was also built step by step by him, and it also has his painstaking efforts.
Although he was really incompetent as the shop owner, he even managed the restaurant as a black shop.
But now he really hopes to make up for his past mistakes.
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao took another look at the Minister of Rites who was kneeling beside him.
Now his whole face is pale, and it can be seen that among them, the servant of the Ministry of Rites is the worst one.
But what is the use of such an official if he does not seek a job in his position?So Ling Xiao must be severely punished.
"Fengxian, please quickly notify the people in Jinyiwei and ask them to quickly bring the Minister of Rites back to the capital. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
Now the minister of the Ministry of Rites can't go back to the beginning, but it's useless to say more now.
He knew that His Majesty was determined. If he begged for mercy, His Majesty would be furious and he would be seeking death.
Today's matter has now come to an end, Ling Xiao asked everyone to hurry tomorrow morning, and stopped at this shop today.
In the guest room, Wu Zhao looked at Ling Xiao who was meditating with his eyes closed, so he frowned and asked.
"What happened to Your Majesty today? It stands to reason that it is a good thing to have thoroughly investigated this minister of the Ministry of Rites. If this matter has not been encountered by us today, I am afraid that many people will be subjected to such punishment in the future." Harm."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and then sighed helplessly.
"Zhao'er, although that's what you said, but have you ever thought that if we hadn't encountered this incident today, then we wouldn't know that the folks have such a bad atmosphere?"
Ling Xiao had never made a private visit before, but from the memorials presented, he only thought that the people in the south were suffering from famine.
But it never occurred to him that at such a juncture, those wealthy people and even the bosses would plan to make a big fortune on these civilians. This is simply insane.
"Your Majesty is considerate, but don't worry about this matter, Your Majesty. Since we have encountered this matter, we must settle this matter so that the common people will no longer live in such a miserable life."
"Zhao'er, when you talk about the hard days, do you know how difficult it is for ordinary people to live a good life? We have just arrived at the Moon City. If we keep going south, we will come to the areas hardest hit by famine. "
"Can you see the disaster-stricken refugees on the side of the road today?"
Speaking of this matter, Wu Zhao's face changed at this time, of course he saw it.
Maybe it’s because I’m used to spending time in the harem, and I’ve seen a lot of brightly dressed people. Now I see those rickety old men and even children in patched clothes. They are holding plates of wowotou in their hands. They are all unkempt, but those eyes But bright and bright.
When looking at them, there is hope and expectation in their eyes.Although they didn't speak, Wu Zhao heard a thousand words from those eyes.
Wu Zhao was worried for a moment. "Your Majesty, do all the refugees in the south look like this?"
And Ling Xiao got up from the bed, and saw him walking to Wu Zhao's side.
"Zhao'er, we are in the palace and have never heard about the affairs of the people all day long. But what we see today is the life that ordinary people are living now. As the king of a country with great dynasty, I naturally have the responsibility to let They are protected from famine, and if they cannot do this well, then how can I talk about being a king?"
"His Majesty……"
After hearing this, Wu Zhao wanted to interrupt him.
And Ling Xiao waved her hand and said: "I know what you want to say, but these things have been bothering me these days, so I really want to solve them."
"I know this is not easy. We don't know how many things we will encounter along the way, so Zhao'er, you have worked hard."
"Your Majesty, I don't work hard. The most uncomfortable thing for me now is seeing His Majesty's worried look. Your Majesty, no matter what happens, Zhao'er will face it with His Majesty."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a warm current in his heart. Wu Zhao was originally a smart woman, and she was also considerate since she came to the palace. Now Ling Xiao felt that she had indeed seen the right person.
