Chapter 177 Very urgent

"For example, the imperial court stipulated that products could not be sold at twice the price. Anyone who violated the order would be severely punished. In order to confront the imperial court, these merchants would choose to close their shops."

Leng Lanzhi was surprised: "Can it still be like this?"

If you think about it carefully, this approach makes sense.

The imperial court does not allow grain to be sold at high prices?

Then I simply won’t sell it.

Anyway, there is no other way to buy food in the city recently. When the food in people's homes is gone and the food stores in the city are not open, where can they buy it?

What?

Will the imperial court come to provide disaster relief?

How much food can the imperial court get?

After the disaster relief food was exploited at all levels, there was very little left that could be delivered to the people, and they still couldn't eat it for a few days.

Once the relief food is distributed, the people from the court will leave.

By then, won’t the people in the city still have no food to eat?

It is true that there will definitely be smart people who look for food elsewhere, but that will be a long time later.

While the merchants in the city are fighting against the price limit orders, the people will definitely go hungry.

Don’t you want people to go hungry?

Okay, then you release the price limit order.

Li Changlin looked at Gu Zhan with admiration: "What this gentleman said is absolutely true."

He sighed: "The current situation in the city is the result of the government's failure."

Although the court's response was very fast, after all, some time had passed.

The local chamber of commerce and gangs united to fight against the price limit order. If the government did not compromise, the local people would really starve to death.

Although the government's compromise resulted in skyrocketing food prices, at least the people still had food to eat.

If the government does not compromise, then no one will eat.

"Have you told Wu Shangshu about this situation?"

Leng Lanzhi frowned and looked at the sky outside the window. He saw that the moonless sky was gloomy and low. If he looked carefully, he could see large clouds gathering together. He didn't know when they would disperse.

Li Changlin said: "Back to the princess, Wu Shangshu feels that since the court's disaster relief food funds have been received, other problems will not be a problem. As long as this period of abnormal temperatures passes and the ice and snow melt, everything will return to normal."

Leng Lan lowered his eyes.

Is the ice and snow melting?

In my memory, there are still two or three months before the ice and snow melt.

"Do as Wu Shangshu said first." Leng Lan said: "Don't worry about the food price for the time being. Before the disaster relief food is distributed, those people can't make any splash for the time being. The government will focus on rescue now."

"yes."

"I live in the Tongfu Inn in the city. If anything happens, I can send someone over at any time to inform me."

Li Changlin hesitated and said: "Princess, living in an inn is not a long-term solution after all. Why not live in the governor's mansion? This way, it will be convenient for you to make arrangements, and it will be convenient for the subordinates to report the progress."

Leng Lanzhi frowned, a little undecided, and couldn't help but look at Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan said: "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

The guys searching for the princess's movements have already searched Tianhai City once, and they won't do it again in the short term.

The conditions of the Sheriff's Mansion are definitely better than those of the inn. There are also maids available, so the princess does not need to worry about trivial matters.

What Leng Lanzhi was worried about was that someone would come to investigate again. Since Gu Zhan said so, there was no danger.

As for Wu Shangshu, he is a foreigner. Although he also lives in Shangshu's mansion, he will never meet the female family members in the mansion. She doesn't have to worry about when they will meet.

However, it was definitely too late to make a temporary settlement. Leng Lanzhi made an agreement with Li Changlin, saying that she was the daughter of his distant cousin and came here specifically to join her. He would send someone to take her into the house tomorrow.

After agreeing on these things, she and Gu Zhan returned to the inn.

The next day, Leng Lanzhi wanted to go out to see the disaster relief situation in the city. Gu Zhan walked in holding a pair of shoes: "Princess."

"This is?" Leng Lanzhi looked at the shoes in his hand in surprise.

"These are shoes made of special materials. The uppers are waterproof."

Leng Lan was stunned, feeling a little strange in his heart.

I didn't expect this man to be so attentive.

But then I thought about it, he is Jin Xingsi's Dianji, a master among masters in tracking down clues...

When I thought about it, I felt relieved.

"Thank you Gu Diansi."

Leng Lanzhi didn't show any pretense, she took the shoes and put them on when Gu Zhan exited.

Only by taking good care of herself can she not be held back.

Li Changlin worked very efficiently. Before Leng Lanzhi could go out, the servant who came to pick her up arrived.

There was an old woman and a maid. The old woman called herself Aunt Feng, and the maid was called Xiaoer.

When he heard the name "Xiao'er", Leng Lanzhi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the little maid.

I saw that the little maid was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. She had two very pleasing eyes on her round face. When she smiled, her eyebrows were crooked, and she didn't look like she had any evil intentions.

"Cousin, Xiao'er was specially sent by the master to take care of you. From now on, Xiao'er will be responsible for your daily life in the house."

Aunt Feng's eyes fell on Leng Lanzhi from time to time, her eyes full of scrutiny.

Leng Lanzhi didn't have much luggage, one package contained all her things.

In order to conceal the identity, the wrapping cloth looked gray and completely featureless.

Gu Zhan's luggage was even simpler, much smaller than Leng Lanzhi's package, and it didn't look like there were many clothes inside.

Looking at the appearance and size of their packages, Aunt Feng's eyes flashed with contempt: "Cousin, please."

Gu Zhan frowned and was about to say something, but Leng Lanzhi waved his hand at him.

Although she is a princess, she is not in the palace now.

To all the women in the Sheriff's Mansion, she was just a wild girl who appeared out of nowhere, and her attitude was completely normal.

No matter how these people suspected her identity, she didn't care as long as they didn't show it in their words and didn't embarrass her in their actions.

After all, she was living in someone else's home, and she couldn't make them feel uneasy just because she was a guest.

The inn is not far from the Sheriff's Mansion, it doesn't take long to walk, and the carriage ride doesn't take much time.

Leng Lanzhi thought Li Changlin had already gone to provide disaster relief. Unexpectedly, before she got out of the car, she heard a familiar voice: "Cousin, get out of the car!"

Outside the carriage, Li Changlin and Mrs. Li Jia were standing side by side. Leng Lanzhi opened the curtain and first saw Li Changlin's attentive smile.

Moving his eyes slightly, he saw a face trying his best to hide his unhappiness.

Leng Lanzhi got off the carriage with the help of Gu Zhan and nodded slightly to Li Changlin: "Cousin."

Then he looked at Mrs. Jia: "Cousin."

Jia was stunned for a moment when she saw Leng Lanzhi's face, and for a moment, a strong look of fear appeared in her eyes.

She ignored Leng Lanzhi, walked to Li Changlin's side and said, "Master, didn't you say that the disaster relief work is extremely urgent? Now my cousin has also arrived, you'd better go and do it quickly, and I will take care of my cousin."

Li Changlin frowned: "It's very urgent, but it won't take long."

Jia Shi bit her lower lip hard.

Leng Lanzhi glanced at Jia's fearful expression and felt helpless: "Cousin, my cousin is right, disaster relief is more important."
