Chapter 1273: A Trip to Mianzhou (6)
Before leaving, Yu Zhi stuffed a purse into Chen San's sleeve, and the movement was so fast that he didn't even see the guards around him.
Yu Zhi lowered his voice and said, "It's not right for us to scare them just now, this is compensation for them." This money, you will give it to your second brother later!" This money is not a lot for him, but it is not a small amount for ordinary people, especially now that these people have suffered disasters. Therefore, this money cannot be shown in front of outsiders, in case it attracts people's eyes and causes trouble, but it is not his, and people who are engaged in intelligence work think very well.
Chen San looked grateful, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "I thank you for my second brother." "With this money, their family wouldn't have had such a hard time.
Chen San also lives in a grass hut, but his family has three rooms, unlike his second brother's house. When he entered the inner room, he took out his purse from his sleeve and opened it, and saw that the purse was full of broken silver, which added up to more than ten taels.
Although the government has reduced a lot of taxes in recent years, most of the ordinary people are only enough for food and clothing, and very few can save silver, let alone so much.
With such a large sum of money, Chen Sanzhen was reluctant to give it all away. But thinking of Qi Hao's identity, he didn't dare to swallow it privately.
Chen San stuffed his purse in his sleeve and went out to look for the woman. He handed the purse to the woman and said, "The nobleman was a little reluctant to disturb the child, and took the money and said to buy the child something to eat." "If the money has been taken out earlier, I won't think about it.
The woman was amazed and glad to see so much silver. This money can be used to build two more houses, so that the family will not have to be crowded into a straw hut, and the extra will buy two more clothes for the children when the time comes. In this way, the two children do not have to huddle in the house all day and cannot go out.
Holding the purse, the woman said gratefully, "Thank you, third brother." "To get such a windfall is still an opportunity given by Chen San. But the woman didn't think of taking out some of the money to reward Chen San.
Chen San took two steps back and said, "Second sister-in-law, hide the silver and don't let others know." "Not only to guard against outsiders, but also against his mother-in-law. If his wife knew that he gave him this money, she would have to fall out with him.
The woman nodded and said, "Don't worry, when outsiders ask, I will say that it is a reward from a nobleman." ”
Qi Hao returned to his place and entered the house, and then asked someone to take a pen and paper, he wanted to write down everything he saw and heard today, and he was busy until dinner.
After dinner, Qi Hao asked, "Hasn't the Qin Governor's Mansion come back yet?" is also a special situation, plus Qi Hao knows that the Qin Governor's Mansion is close to the people like a son, otherwise he will think that the Qin Governor's Mansion is big!
Yi Kun said: "No. I've heard that the place is far away, and it takes a long time to go back and forth!"
Qi Hao hummed and said, "Go boil water, I'll take a bath later." "Go to bed after taking a bath. I've been tired lately, so I need to get some rest.
When the Qin prefect came over, Qi Hao happened to be taking a bath. At this time, no one else will bother.
Lu Bai looked at the haggard Governor Qin, and asked kindly, "Did Lord Qin have dinner?"
Qin Jiangsheng shook his head and said, "No." "I didn't come back in time because I had something serious to deal with, and I believe that the prince can understand. But if you don't come back to the city and come to see the prince immediately, it will be a snurel.
Lu Bai heard this and said, "We still have food in the kitchen, if Lord Qin doesn't dislike it, let's use some first." "Knowing that Governor Qin is a good official, he will be so caring, otherwise he wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
Governor Qin was in a hurry to come back and didn't have dinner, this would be hungry, so he was not polite: "Then it's tiring." ”
Meals were served quickly. The dish is one meat and one vegetable, stir-fried cabbage, beef jerky. These things were all prepared by Yu Zhi's subordinates. Otherwise, where can you buy beef jerky at this time.
Lu Bai said politely: "The food is relatively simple, and I ask the Qin Governor not to be surprised." "The cabbage is freshly fried, the beef jerky is leftover from Qihao's eating, and there is an egg soup being made, which will not be served until later.
Qin Zhifu said: "It's already very rich. At noon, he nibbled on only two loaves of bread to satisfy his hunger. It was also the Qin prefect's dedication to sleep and forget to eat, so that there was no chaos in Mianzhou, and the surviving people did not endure freezing and starvation.
After drinking the egg soup, Qi Hao had not come out yet, and Qin Zhifu waited patiently outside.
After a quarter of an hour, I finally heard footsteps coming this way. Governor Qin immediately stood up. Seeing Qi Hao, he hung his head and bowed respectfully: "I've seen the prince." ”
Qi Hao personally helped him up and said, "Lord Qin has worked hard. "Qi Hao has absorbed the advantages of Yunqing and Yuxi, and the military generals in Ho City have a very good impression of him.
Qin Jiangsheng hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
After a few polite words, Qi Hao told Qin Jiangsheng about the victims. After saying a few words, Qi Hao asked, "If those collapsed houses have no owner, wouldn't it be a waste to not allow others to rummage through the things that can be used and rot in them?" ”
Qin Jiangsheng said: "Those collapsed houses, if no one survives, they will send officers and soldiers." "The number of officers and soldiers is also limited, and they will only choose the houses of those rich and noble. This is not only clothing, but also valuables such as gold and silver.
Qi Hao asked again: "Although those people have received food, some of them don't even have clothes to wear. Lord Qin, I think we should give them some silver and let them buy some things for their daily needs. "The pots and pans like Chen San's brother's house are actually found from those collapsed houses.
Qin Jiangsheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses: "The idea of the prince is very good, but there are more than 300,000 victims in Mianzhou, even if each person is only given one tael of silver, it will cost more than 300,000 taels of silver." "That's not a small amount.
Qihao said: "My mother mobilized food, cloth, medicinal materials and other materials from other states and counties. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble if we gave the victims money money and let them use it to buy things? In the end, the money returned to the government.
Qin Jiangsheng shook his head and said, "Lord Shizi, there has never been such a precedent. "The prince wants to do something for the victims, and at a young age, he can understand the suffering of the people.
"If Lord Qin thinks my idea is good, I can write to my mother. I'm sure she'll say yes. "As long as it's a good suggestion, Yuxi will take it.
Qin Jiangsheng groaned and said: "Lord Shizi, distributing silver is easier than distributing materials, but there is also a disadvantage in this way......" As for the disadvantages, Qin Jiangsheng didn't say anything, just looked at Qi Hao, which made him think for himself.
Qi Hao thought about it, but he didn't think of what the disadvantages were: "Please also ask Lord Qin for advice." "That's the flaw of not having practical experience.
Qin Jiangsheng said: "Once the prices are not well controlled, let those profiteers raise the prices and give the people money instead of materials, and then it will be the people who will suffer." ”
Qi Hao didn't think about it and said: "If there is a person who raises prices, he will be killed." ”
Qin Jiangsheng said: "What if the government colludes with the vendors?" If the officials are honest, it is better to distribute silver than materials. But if the officials are not honest, then the people will suffer a loss if they distribute the silver. You must know that during the famine years, a pound of rice and noodles can be sold for ten taels of silver.
Qi Hao had a smile on his face and said: "The local officials are not honest, whether it is silver or things, the common people have to suffer. The key, still on top. Qi Hao said this quite vaguely. If the emperor is a wise monarch and the officials rule clearly, the officials below will not dare to be presumptuous, even if they are greedy, they will not dare to be excessive. Like now, Yuxi supervises the officials below very strictly, and most of the officials dare not be presumptuous.
Qin Jiangsheng's eyes flashed with surprise, he didn't expect that the prince knew so much at such a young age: "Lord the prince, it's better to distribute the food to the people." "As for the other things, they will not be given directly, but will be given silver.
Qi Hao nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Qin Jiangsheng told Qi Hao a lot of things, and he didn't return to the prefect's yamen until the end of the day.
The master asked cautiously, "Why is the master so happy?" The smile on his face was as bright as the April sun. This was the first time he saw Qin Jiangsheng smiling since the ground movement in Mianzhou.
Qin Jiangsheng told what happened just now, and said with a smile after finishing speaking: "I heard that the prince began to listen to politics when he was seven or eight years old, and now it seems that the rumors are true." "As an heir, the sooner you get in touch with government affairs, the better.
The master's surname is Qi, a native of Shaoxing, Jiangnan. Seeing this, Master Qi said: "What does the master mean, will the prince of the world definitely become a Ming monarch in the future?"
Qin Jiangsheng nodded. It was also because of this idea that he was particularly happy. Qin Jiangsheng was the county commander of Jiang County before Yunqing did not occupy Mianzhou. At that time, the court officials were corrupt, and corrupt officials were everywhere, so Qin Jiangsheng could only pretend to be snakes with those people in order to survive, and then try his best to keep the people of Jiang County peaceful.
When Master Qi heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Master, ask the master for the life of the dog." ”
Qin Jiangsheng's face changed: "What's the matter?" Master Qi was nearly forty years old and had only one son, and now he is fifteen years old. After the earth moved, the child was surprised and has been recuperating at home.
Master Qi burst into tears and said, "Ten days ago, Ah Yan was captured by a man in black, and they threatened me with Ah Yan and asked me to do things for them. ”
Qin Jiangsheng's face was very ugly: "What do they want to do?" It was definitely not against him, otherwise it would not have waited until today.
In fact, these days, Qin Jiangsheng felt that Master Qi was preoccupied, but he thought he was worried about his son's affairs, but he didn't expect that there would be such a layer.
Master Qi took out a thumb-sized knife from his sleeve and said, "They want me to use this thing to kill the prince, saying that they will send my son to a safe place after the matter is completed." "He only has such a little blood and bone at such an age, and he can not even want his own life for the sake of his son. can kill the prince of Ming, but it is not as simple as his life, and Qin Jiangsheng will definitely be implicated at that time. Qin Jiangsheng has great kindness to him, he can't be such an ungrateful person. Now that I heard that Qi Hao would be a Ming Jun in the future, I couldn't do this.
Qin Jiangsheng was full of anger and said: "Actually using such a method, these people are really poor in donkey skills. "For Yan Wushuang, he is extremely disdainful.
Since Master Qi can be Qin Jiangsheng's chief staff, he is also talented: "My lord, as long as I don't have the opportunity to contact the prince of the world, these people can't blame me." "Yu Zhi is cautious, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach Qihao. Like today, the entourage of the Qin Governor's Mansion, including Master Qi, were all waiting outside and did not enter the inner house.
Qin Jiangshan shook his head and said, "These people must not only be looking for you alone, they must have other secret hands." "The prince is very wise and kind, if there is an accident, it will be a loss for the whole world.
Master Qi also thinks that these people must have a lot of back-ups: "My lord, tomorrow you should wake up with the prince of the world!"
Qin Jiangsheng nodded and said, "I will." "Actually, there is no need for Master Qi to say it, he will also remind Qi Hao tomorrow.
Seeing that Qi Hao was still struggling to write, Yu Zhi frowned and said, "Lord Shizi, it's already more than half the hour, you should rest." "From the time of the pickaxe city to the present, Qihao has rested early every day, and today is an exception.
Hearing this, Qi Hao put down the brush and said with a smile to Yu Zhi: "I have gained a lot today, and I will have to come out and take a look in the future." In the palace, Qi Hao heard from the guards in the palace that they had a hard time in the past, and they couldn't eat enough in the face of famine, and he was very emotional at the time. But today, seeing the two children huddled in the quilt because they were so poor that they had no clothes to wear, it was not an emotion but a shock.
Yu Zhi said matter-of-factly: "It's okay, the prince and the princess will not let the prince come out." ”
When he wanted to come to Mianzhou, he thought that Yuxi would oppose it, but he didn't expect that it was Yunqing who disagreed. Qihao said: "After I leave the school, my father and mother will not worry." ”
Yu Zhi glanced at Qi Hao and said, "Lord Shizi, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows. "The other party wants to harm him, no matter how good Qi Hao's martial arts are, he can't prevent it.
There are only a thousand days to be a thief and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, how can Qi Hao not understand this truth: "But I can't just shut up because I'm afraid, right?" Just like this time he knew it was dangerous, but he still came out.
Yu Zhi was silent.
Early the next morning, Qin Jiangsheng came over to see Qihao. Because the room was full of Qi Hao, Yu Zhi and Yi Kun, Qin Jiangsheng didn't have any worries, and told Master Qi about last night. After finishing speaking, Qin Jiangsheng raised the knife with both hands: "Lord Shizi, this is what the man in black handed over to Master Qi." ”
Yu Zhi took a look and said coldly: "Lord Shizi, this knife is highly poisonous. ”
Qi Hao snorted coldly and said, "Yan Wushuang will only use these subordinate methods. "If you don't have the ability to deal with his father and mother, you will only deal with a few of their brothers and sisters, which is really shameless. As for Yunqing's assassination of Ah Chi, he didn't think it was wrong. His father was just a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
Qin Jiangsheng was a little worried, and said: "These people are hiding in the dark, the prince still don't go out again." ”
Qi Hao is not afraid of them.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. Lord Shizi, if you want to know anything, ask the minister directly! The minister must know everything and say everything. Seeing that Qi Hao was unmoved, Qin Jiangsheng said: "Lord Shizi, your safety is at stake. If you have three strengths and two weaknesses, it will definitely cause turmoil. Actually, this is an exaggeration. Although Qi Hao is the heir of the prince and the palace, he is young and has not been involved in politics, even if something happens, it will not affect the overall situation.
Qi Hao hesitated and said, "I'll think about it." "These people are like rats, and they really should be careful.
ps: Last night I dreamed that I scored 27 points in the physics test of the college entrance examination, and then woke up scared. O(∩_∩)O~, every time I go to the college entrance examination, I have to have such a dream, so hard.
