Zhu Biao didn't know that under his father's encouragement, a group of Crown Princes led by Li Shan Chang had emerged in the court. After dealing with a day's worth of government affairs, he came out of the main hall of the Crown Prince's palace, which had been transformed into the government office of Bianliang Prefecture. The eight guards who had been guarding outside automatically followed him.
"Has Father's decree not arrived yet?"
"The Crown Prince is not here yet!" Chang Qing replied in a low voice.”
"By the way, Changqing, send a few people to the market to find out if the price of grain and oil in Bianliang City has dropped since I issued the official document of 'cracking down on grain hoarding and stabilizing prices' in the name of the government office two days ago!”
Chang Qing bowed and accepted the order. He casually pointed at three people and said,"Da Hu, Er Hu, Song Zhong, the three of you go out to the market and check out the grain and oil. Then, come back as soon as possible and report to the Crown Prince!”
The three of them quickly left the hall.
Changqing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to say to me?" Zhu Biao smiled faintly." Although you are my father's men, you have experienced some things with me this time. I don't treat you as outsiders. If you have something to say, say it!"”
Chang Qing looked at Zhu Biao gratefully and said hesitantly,""Crown Prince, do you want to go and see Min Min Timur?”
"What about her?"
"Crown Prince, she's on a hunger strike. She hasn't eaten rice for two days!”
"Why are you on a hunger strike?" Zhu Biao asked.”
"She requested to see the Crown Prince, but was rejected by the guards at the door, so she started a hunger strike!”
Zhu Biao hated being threatened the most, so he snorted and said,""Then let her go on a hunger strike. She's just a Mongolian woman. If she starved to death, so be it.”
After saying that, he walked straight to his bedroom. Before he entered, he changed his mind and thought, Forget it, let's go take a look. This woman has a special identity. In the future, she will be useful to my Ming Dynasty to unite the Mongolian tribes!
When he arrived outside Min Min Timur's room, Zhu Biao pushed the door open and walked in. He found Min Min Timur lying on the bed with a blanket covering her face. Her face was pale, and her pink lips had lost their color and become a little dry.
"Why aren't you eating?"
Min Min Timur turned her head and smiled bitterly."Is the crown prince finally willing to see this servant?”
Zhu Biao sat down on the stool beside the bed and smiled."I know what you want to ask me when you see me. I can tell you that your brother, Kuokuo Timur, is still alive! But…if you dare to threaten me again, I will definitely kill you!”
"No!" Min Min Timur quickly said. Crown Prince, please show mercy. I won't dare to do it again!”
"From tomorrow onwards, I will remove the guards at the door. You can leave this room!”Anyway, the plan to lure the enemy had ended, so there was no need to worry about Minmin Timur passing on the news.
Speaking of which, after being locked up for more than ten days in a row, it was already considered that this girl's psychological quality was strong enough to not be locked up crazy.
"Really?" Min Min Timur suddenly became spirited. She struggled to sit up from the bed and was about to get down."This servant wants to take a walk in the courtyard now!”
The blanket slipped off.
Zhu Biao's eyes paused, and then he said helplessly,""Can I only wear undergarments when I go to the courtyard?”"Are you trying to seduce me on purpose?" he asked suspiciously.”
Min Min Timur was embarrassed and angry when she heard the second half of Zhu Biao's words. The little maidservant became angry and became a Mongolian rouge horse again. She provoked,"So what? Although you are the noble Crown Prince, you are only thirteen years old. What can a thirteen-year-old little man do to this servant?”
When Zhu Biao came out of Min Min Timur's room, he touched his lips, thinking that this was the punishment for underestimating the Ming Crown Prince. I want you to remember that the Crown Prince's dignity cannot be underestimated!
Song Zhong and the two tigers of the Guards Division returned to the residence in the evening.
"How is it? Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?”Zhu Biao asked as he sipped his tea.
"Crown Prince, this general and the others have already investigated clearly. The price of grain on the streets of Bianliang Prefecture has soared. One jin of rice has already been sold for twenty wen, almost twice as expensive as before. It was said that the government had issued an official document to stabilize prices the day before yesterday. It stipulated that the price of a catty of rice could not be higher than eight wen, and the price of a catty of wheat could not be higher than seven wen. The big merchants in the city, the Zhou family and the Zhao family, felt that the price set by the government was too low. It was two wen lower than the current market price in the city, so they joined forces to close all the rice and noodle shops under their banner.”" Their rice and noodle shops account for more than half of the city's rice and noodle shops. When the commoners saw that the number of shops selling grain had decreased, they were afraid that they would not be able to buy grain in the future, so they began to stock up. In addition, someone secretly spread rumors that the price of grain would increase, so in order to get more grain, the commoners competed with each other for an extra penny, pushing the price of rice up to 20 coins.”
Changqing was infuriated when he heard that." Crown Prince, these profiteers and vermin actually dare to disobey the official documents of the government office. They're really audacious!"”
Zhu Biao put down his teacup and said calmly," It seems that when we entered Bianliang City, we strictly adhered to the military discipline and did not offend the people. This made some people in the city think that we Ming soldiers did not dare to kill!" Changqing, go to Chang Yuchun and help me transfer 2,000 elite soldiers over! Let's go meet the rich people of Bianliang City!”
