The disaster victim who was the first to receive the porridge excitedly ran to the corner of the wall. As soon as he reached the corner, he excitedly wanted to drink the porridge. Suddenly, he saw that the porridge in the bowl was yellow and there were many small stones mixed in.
He immediately walked to Gao Yang and asked, "Sir, may I ask why this porridge is yellow? Why are there so many stones in it?"
As soon as he finished asking, the other people who received the porridge also asked, "My porridge also has a lot of stones and a few worms. It's so disgusting. What's going on?"
"This porridge is too dirty. Can this porridge be eaten? Sir, is this the porridge that Her Majesty the Empress sent? "
The people who received the porridge in front all held up their bowls and asked.
When Gao Yang heard this, a light flashed through his eyes.
He had already thought of what to say.
He looked at everyone with a troubled expression and sighed, "Everyone, please calm down. Her Majesty is especially concerned about everyone. She's afraid that everyone will go hungry, so she told me to give good porridge. But I'm sorry, I really can't do anything because there's no good rice on the market. We need a lot of rice, so we can't buy that much good rice. I even spent a lot of money to buy this old rice! I also want everyone to eat good rice, but even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. Due to the locust plague in the north last year and the flood in Jiangnan this year, there's no harvest. There's no good rice on the market. If you don't believe me, you can go to the grain and oil stores and ask. In this situation, I can't do anything. Please bear with it. "
When everyone heard this, the doubts in their hearts were dispelled.
They hurriedly said, "So it's like this. So there's no good rice on the market. Her Majesty isn't lying to us!"
"This old rice was bought by someone at a high price. In this era of famine, it's already good to be able to buy this old rice. This is Her Majesty's kindness to us. We must not let her down. What's wrong with this old rice? Let's clear the sand and get rid of the worms. It can still be eaten! "
"Right, let's get rid of the sand. It can still be eaten!"
"That's right. We've already fallen to the point of eating Guanyin clay. What's there to be picky about? It's already good enough to have this old rice. Come, everyone drink. Don't waste such good food! "
As the commoners spoke, they casually picked up the sand in their bowls. Then, they held their bowls and gulped down the porridge.
They were really hungry. Even though there was sand in the porridge, they still ate with relish.
Seeing that the commoners believed him, Gao Yang's face was filled with pride.
These commoners were really stupid. They were being played around by him like dogs.
He casually fooled them, and they were so grateful to the Empress. How naive.

In the study of The Emperor of Li's residence, Chu Xuanchen was sitting on a chair reading a book when Mo Li walked in.
"Your Highness, this subordinate found out that Madam of Wei asked her bodyguard, Gao Yang, to transport the money they embezzled to her manor. She even asked Gao Yang to spend a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy rice and noodles for disaster relief. In the end, Gao Yang only spent twenty thousand taels of silver to buy a batch of old rice with worms. The rice was filled with sand, and Gao Yang used this kind of rice mixed with sand to provide relief to the people. However, the commoners were deceived by him. They thought that he couldn't buy good rice, so they all ate rice mixed with sand. They were even grateful to Her Majesty! "Mo Li reported.
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, he immediately slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Preposterous! Wang thought that Madam of Wei was only greedy for money. Even if she was providing relief, she would still give the commoners good food. In the end, her people actually let the commoners eat this kind of rotten rice? "
