Chapter 214: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger

The general Zhu Ming was killed, and such a big turmoil had spread throughout Chang'an City overnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the general Zhu Ming's father and son were arrogant and domineering on weekdays, bullying the good people, and had done countless evil things, including nearly 20 wives and concubines snatched from the family alone, and there were many ordinary people who were killed by their father and son because of resistance.

Now that the general Zhu Ming's father and son are dead, the people are very happy, and many people even kill pigs to celebrate.

At the same time, Xingzhe's reputation also spread immediately, and in the hearts of the people, Xingzhe has become a hero who eliminates harm for the people.

The love of the people will become an invisible force that will play a vital role in the future.

The people were happy, but the officials were getting scared. Xingzhe was only promoted for a day, and he collapsed the general Zhu Ming, maybe it will be their turn at some point.

Now they no longer dare to underestimate this young marquis, Xingzhe has already shown his super ability several times, and he can fight against the great general Zhu Ming, it is enough to say that Xingzhe is not a person to be messed with.

When he went to court today, the emperor didn't say a word about Xingzhe's killing of the general Zhu Ming. His Majesty the Emperor didn't mention it, who would dare to be troublesome.

Today, we are mainly talking about the earthquake, and the earthquake relief is already underway, but it has no effect at all. The common people had to steal and rob because of hunger, and the law and order were chaotic.

The damage caused by the earthquake has become more and more serious, and it has reached a situation where we have to pay attention to it, and we must find a way to get the people through this disaster

His Majesty the Emperor has already "decreed his crimes" and is reviewing the gains and losses of his own administration.

After all, it is a feudal society, and people believe that heaven, earth, and man are one, and the earth should not be moved, and if the earth is "restless", it means that yin and yang are out of balance, or it is related to the failure of the king, which is a punishment and warning given by God.

Therefore, as the king of a country, the emperor must quickly admit his mistakes and take away his sins in order to obtain God's forgiveness, prevent God from sending disasters to the world again, and alleviate the misfortune of the victims.

Of course, a good young man like Xingzhe in the new century, in his opinion, "sin against oneself" is just playing false.

Giving concrete material and economic help to the victims of the disaster is very real, and it is also the most popular and affirmed by the disaster victims.

One of the most common means is to "rent-free", that is, exempt from taxes. There are many types of taxes here, such as rent tax and land rent tax, and the exemption of rent tax can make the life of the disaster victims not too stressful.

Although "tax exemption" can stabilize the lives of disaster victims to a certain extent, it cannot solve the urgent needs of disaster victims. So the imperial court decided to "give money" to the victims. It has become a common practice for the imperial court to give money and directly subsidize the money and food of the victims. In addition to giving money and food to the survivors, the government will also prepare funeral expenses for the victims.

At the same time, the imperial court encouraged private individuals and individuals to "donate silver", which was also an important source of funds. The imperial court will also actively guide the civil forces to fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief, and mobilize wealthy officials and gentry to donate silver to build houses for the victims. For the "large amounts" of active donations, the imperial court will propose praise and rewards.

These things have been done almost enough, but this time the earthquake is really too serious, although it has a certain effect, but the effect is not ideal.

So today, the emperor ordered that the reserve warehouse in the earthquake area be opened, at least not so that the victims could not stand the hunger. It was already an earthquake zone, and if the victims were starving, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The main function of the reserve position is to regulate and stabilize the valley price, similar to the current macroeconomic control, and maintain the stability of the market through the power of the government. At the same time, the reserve warehouse also has the function of disaster relief.

The relief method of the reserve warehouse is to reserve the grain all year round, release it to the people in the famine year, and return the official in the autumn.

The reserve warehouse was established by the government, and there was a special warehouse official to manage it, which was directly ordered by the emperor. Therefore, whether to open a position or not, and when to open a position, these are all up to His Majesty the Emperor.

Although Xingzhe was not very satisfied with His Majesty the Emperor's method, there was no big problem. After all, what better way can there be in this day and age?

As soon as Xingzhe walked out of the palace hall after retreating from the court, Li Jun leaned over and secretly gave Xingzhe a thumbs up.

"I really didn't expect you to be so capable, and you completed the task on the same day, I admire you. ”

"There's nothing to admire, it's just a little bit of luck. ”

Xingzhe shook his head, it was rare to be humble, and looking at Xingzhe's expression, it seemed that he had something on his mind.

"What are you thinking? absent-minded. ”

Li Jun asked.

"It's nothing, I still have something to do, I'll go back first. ”

Xingzhe quickened his pace and walked out of the palace quickly.

In fact, Xingzhe was thinking about the matter of General Zhu Ming, and he had a lot of doubts and worries in his heart.

The fact that the great general Zhu Ming was able to get into this position shows that His Majesty the Emperor still takes a fancy to him. But in the blink of an eye, he actually asked Xingzhe to kill him and eradicate him.

Now that Xingzhe finally understood the meaning of being a companion like a tiger, he not only began to think about his own situation. The current Xingzhe and the general Zhu Ming are in very similar positions, and His Majesty the Emperor values Xingzhe very much.

If Xingzhe makes a mistake at this time, then it is very likely that he will end up with General Zhu Ming.

It is said that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and it is not unreasonable for a gun to shoot a bird. The better the official does, the more dangerous it is. Those who are not of high rank in official positions are still the safest people.

Because neither His Majesty the Emperor nor any other officials would pay attention to them, and they had no way to attract the attention of others.

There are no real friends above the court, and there is no such thing as trust. No one is trapped, if you are gullible about the people in the officialdom, you may die without a place to be buried.

Almost all officials had a special carriage to pick them up after they retired from the court, but Xingzhe did not. Xingzhe had just become an official, and he didn't understand many things, so he didn't know that it would take long for him to prepare a carriage to pick him up.

"Sir, didn't you prepare a carriage?"

Ouyang Mingsheng saw Xingzhe standing motionless at the door of the palace with a confused expression, and immediately trotted all the way over.

"I didn't prepare, I knew two days ago that I was going to prepare the carriage, but I forgot about it every time. ”

Xingzhe spread his hands.

"Sir, if you don't mind, you can take my carriage. ”

Ou Yangmingsheng was running out of time for a month, but he still hadn't been able to win over Xingzhe to become his own. Previously, because Xingzhe accompanied the general of the auxiliary country to go on the expedition, Ou Yangmingsheng never had a chance to act.

It's good now, Xingzhe shouldn't be going on the expedition in a short time, and there is time for Xingzhe to become their own person.
