"Hong Hao, there shouldn't be anyone in the world who wants to find Tsui Hee more than you, so I have a mission for you. Whether or not you can find Tsui Hee will depend on you."
"What? Princess Consort really has a way? "Hong Hao was instantly energized.
"It's just a guess at the moment. I'll have to wait for you to investigate the specifics. I've already instructed Bat to gather all the people in the pavilion who are good at qinggong. They'll listen to your orders for a while. Keep an eye on some of the elders in the marshal's residence. Keep an eye on them at all times. They might be the key to finding Tsui Hee."
As she spoke, Wei Ziyao threw a list of names to Hong Hao.
Hong Hao opened it and was a little surprised. "Grandmother Xu is also on this list?"
"That's right. As long as they've lived in the marshal's residence for more than fifteen years, they're all on this list. There's a total of thirty-one people. Investigate their lives clearly. If anyone travels, send someone to follow them. Remember to be discreet."
"Yes!" Hong Hao was very obedient after receiving the order.
He didn't ask why Wei Ziyao wanted to investigate his maternal family. In any case, Princess Consort definitely had her reasons for doing things.
Hong Hao took the list and left. Wei Ziyao gave Luo Yichen another list.
"These are the people who worked in the Wei Family fifteen years ago and then left. Whether they're alive or dead, they're all on this list. There's a total of ninety-eight people. For those who are dead, investigate their past and relatives. For those who are alive, you know what to do. Go."
Wei Ziyao finished assigning tasks. The sky was about to brighten, but she wasn't sleepy at all.
Because starting today, she had to collect grain.
Thirty million shi.
To be honest, Wei Ziyao felt that she was a deity who could make grain appear. She wouldn't be able to produce thirty million shi in five days.
Thinking of this, she found paper in the study and wrote many notices. She wrote down the cause of the matter clearly. She wanted to spend money to collect grain.
Doing this would definitely cause the price of grain to skyrocket in a short period of time. However, she also joined forces with the Three Law Divisions and issued an official document forbidding any increase in the price of grain. In addition, Wei Ziyao would not buy grain from merchants, only from commoners.
In this way, not only would the market be stabilized, but he could also achieve his goal.
.....
When Zi Yuan, who was in the palace, heard the news, she just laughed disdainfully.
"Did you see that? The people of the Wei Family were so hypocritical. They were already in a pinch, yet they still pretended to be good people and refused to accept the grain from the Shang Family. I don't believe that she would be able to gather enough food if we don't take it from the Shang Clan. No … even if we take it from her, she won't be able to gather enough food. "
Even if they were to buy the goods from the merchants, the sum of the goods from the nearby cities wouldn't be that much. Thus, it would take more than five days for the goods to be transported here.
Besides, it was absolutely impossible to take the grain from the merchants. They couldn't let the common people have no rice just to fill the national treasury. Not only would it affect the market, it would also affect the lives of the common people.
Therefore, Wei Ziyao was doomed this time.
"Imperial Noble Consort, what a good plan. Wei Ziyao won't be able to make a comeback this time."
"It's not that I'm a good strategist, but this Wei Ziyao has some achievements. She doesn't know her surname anymore. Does she really think she's capable? That she's a deity? Heh … "
Zi Yuan laughed disdainfully. She felt that she was sure to win this time.
However, just as she was feeling a little smug, a commotion came from outside.
"His Highness Prince Yin! His Highness Prince Yin! You can't go in! If you want to see Imperial Noble Consort, you have to wait for this servant to report it! "
Ki Chien-chul had already barged in.
The Imperial Noble Consort opened the door and glared fiercely at the palace maid who blocked Ki Chien-chul.
However, the head servant beside her was discerning. She went over and gave the little palace maid two slaps.
"His Highness Prince Yin is the Imperial Noble Consort's son. How can a lowly servant like you stop him from seeing the Imperial Noble Consort? Hurry up and scram! "
Zi Yuan was really happy that Ki Chien-chul could come. She quickly went up to him.
"Che 'er, you've finally come to see your mother. Your mother is very happy. Don't leave at noon. Stay and eat with your mother."
She thought that Ki Chien-chul was here to show his filial piety. However, he took out a shiny dagger that was still glowing with a cold light from his lapel …
