As the old saying goes, there is no single line of disaster.

That night, Chu Yu was awakened by the fire in his deep sleep, and even ignored the young man who accompanied him to bed, and fled in a panic, in shock.

On the morning of the second day, I received a report of a snow disaster that had been delayed for more than half a month.

The report, which was far worse than imagined, made the court in an uproar.

Regardless of the snow disaster, Chu Yu only clamored to find out the cause of the fire and the real culprit first, and asked the household department to take out the money for the renovation of the Hehuan Palace first.

It was the old Wei Ge who was cold.

The cause of the fire is very simple, that is, the fireworks set off are substandard products, and some firewood and paint are also substandard products, and the most unqualified is tung oil from Jiangnan.

So a little spark, all caused such a big fire.

When the reason was found, Chu Yu also received news that his favorite boy was only afraid that he would be burned to death in the fire, and he couldn't even find the corpse.

Originally, he wanted to settle accounts with the young man (it was the young man who said that he wanted to see the fireworks) The mood suddenly turned into regret, Chu Yu ignored the dissuasion of the cabinet and posthumously named the young man a concubine.

It is the first male concubine of the Chu State.

Although the man is dead, the after-effects of this incident are extremely far-reaching.

The materials procured came from all over the place, and the people who handled them were also different, and under Chu Yu's anger, the Ministry of Industry introduced the newly appointed Ministry of Works, Lord Ma, as a scapegoat.

Because that batch of fireworks was exactly what he signed and approved.

Chu Yu was reluctant to take out the things confiscated by the three families, and when he scolded the personnel of the Ministry of Industry for dereliction of duty, he refused to take out a penny, and asked the Ministry of Household for one million taels to repair the Hehuan Palace.

It didn't take long for this year's tax money to be collected, but before the snow disaster report was delivered, all the arrangements had been made, that is, the officials' year-end bounties had already been distributed, and there was not even a little left.

(Do you know why the snow disaster report came more than half a month late?) Just to run out of money ahead of time)

And the household department originally wanted to move the military salary and food of the border army, but the fierce and vicious general Zhenbei brought a group of personal guards to smash the office of the waiter in the household yamen who had been prevaricating, and directly sent people to wear tattered and blood-stained armor to block the door of the household officials, and when they met people, they said that these household officials were not people, and their year-end bonuses and charcoal money were taken early in the morning, but the hard-earned money of the border army was not paid, and if this went on like this, the border army starved to death, no one fought, and there was an accident at the border pass, and no one could escape.

The matter was all over the court, and the general of the Northwest went to the court in full armor, asking for the settlement of the military salary and pension of the border army, and threw the welfare list issued by the household department directly on Ning Shangshu's face (the general of Zhenbei took it when he smashed the yamen).

It was the old Xia Ge who was angry above the court,

As a result, the border army's military salaries, food salaries, and part of the bereavement pensions were settled.

However, the already pitiful relief funds are even less pitiful, and many localities directly ask the local yamen to solve it themselves.

And this snowstorm, many places have indeed collapsed houses, many dead and injured, many tenants have been homeless, and when the Chinese New Year is about to begin, they have become people with no food and clothing.

Selling children and daughters, and the whole family selling themselves together, abounds.

The stewards sent out by Gu Xinyue to open a porridge shop and distribute clothes, in addition to giving porridge, also bought many people according to the orders of the above.

After buying it, I selected the people who were familiar with farming and were in good health and willing to go to the north, gathered together, led by He Niu Caiwei, and prepared to send them to Mobei.

Winter is not a good time to go to Mobei, but at this time, take people away when the disaster is full of refugees, so that they will not be discovered.

When the two set off, they were about to celebrate the New Year.

Gu Xinyue was a little reluctant, and kept sending Cai Wei to the gate of the capital.

"Cai Wei, don't wronged yourself, if He Niu dares to bully you, you will beat you first." Gu Xinyue took Cai Wei's hand and said in a low voice.

"The girl is, the girl's body can't withstand damage, you must be careful." Cai Wei wiped a handful of tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly.

"Don't worry, I know it myself, but it's you, don't take it too seriously, over there, you let He Niu do it, just keep an eye on the account book for me, it's cold over there, don't be reluctant to give you the clothes I give you, wear them, anyway, when Qin Qi and they go hunting, they will come back."

Shaking Cai Wei's hand, Gu Xinyue continued: "The people who passed this time, in addition to those who are good at crops, there are also some who can weave and make clothes, if there is anything missing, you can send a letter here, and I will send it to you next year." ”

Rao is heart was worried that she was still worried, Cai Wei also laughed unconsciously, and said: "If the girl says to go and see the world you said, or even say to go and see Qin Qi, I believe it, this is a gift, there is no need to trouble the girl." ”

Gu Xinyue snorted twice, and said in her heart that I can put more things in that space than you have a horse team, and I can bring it over by myself if you want.

"Okay, it's cold outside, girl, go back." Cai Wei pulled her big hood and said softly.

"Well, and the peony, you can also take a look, who she has taken a fancy to, and I will also prepare a dowry for her." Gu Xinyue said with a grin.

It just so happened that the convoy from Mobei had arrived, not only with goods but also with a number of horses, and just set some more cars for He Niu to use, not only to sit on people, but also to load a lot of necessary supplies.

She prepared a lot of things, only said that she would give Cai Wei a dowry, and also wrote a list, saying that at that time, 10,000 acres of fertile land counted in her name would be given to Cai Wei.

The Great Northern Wilderness has a vast area, not only plains, but also forests and grasslands.

Now it's a no-man's land, but with these people, in the near future, it will become a huge granary, as well as a meat base.

And the forests over there are even more abundant in minerals.

Now the first to go there are the soldiers who should have been executed in Mobei City, all of them are strong laborers, and according to the people who came with Qin Qi, those people are also very strong (those who can survive the chaos are not good people), and after being trained by Qin Qi for three months, they are already a team capable of fighting.

Moreover, Qin Qi agreed with them that Gu Xinyue (in the name of the county lord of Qin Qi) would pay for the seeds and planting methods, and also pay the wages, and the fields they reclaimed belonged to Gu Xinyue.

If they are willing to go out and cultivate their own land when they have accumulated on their own, then Qin Qi only charges management fees.

As for the forest and grassland, it was originally fought by Qin Qi himself.

(Won the Black Mountain Jinren and got the agreement from them, there is no land here, Qin Qi belongs to Gu Xinyue's name)

In particular, no matter how you look at this, it is all a country's practice.

In addition, the batch of skilled croppers and women who signed the deed of sale sent over this time, as well as the technicians who were mobilized from Jingdong to even strike iron in the past.

Next autumn, it will be a beautiful place.

In that kind of place, I want to come to Cai Wei to quickly forget about the rotten person of Jì Ji Jing.

After looking at the sky, He Niu said hello to Gu Xinyue, pulled Cai Wei and left.

After the team of Cai Wei got into the carriage, Qin Qi also stuffed Gu Xinyue back into the carriage, and he also got into the carriage, and said softly: "Okay, didn't you say that you would go there to see them next autumn?" ”

Gu Xinyue rubbed her somewhat red eyes, nodded, and said, "Qianxia got married in early February, I want to wait for her to get married, and then set off for Jiangnan." ”

"Well, I'll accompany you." Qin Qi said with a smile.

"Huh?" Gu Xinyue was surprised.

Qin Qi smiled and didn't say much, just pointed outside and said, "It's the New Year, what place do you want to play?" ”

That day, after they left, Chu Yu opened Lord Jin's fold and called Wei Zhao back.

And in the afternoon, the fold also reached them.

It was written by Master Jin in secret algorithm (so Chu Yu couldn't understand it), the actual taxes in Wuzhou in the past three years.

The money collected was twice as much as that handed over to the court.
