Chapter 31 Lower Jiangnan

The noisy court temporarily stopped in the final determination of the disaster relief candidates, this time the minister and the emperor are evenly matched, although the leader is the emperor's side, it seems that the emperor took the big head, but the minister's side of the food is more, have sent some satisfied children to take advantage of this experience, in the future resume can add a beautiful stroke, you must know that the courtiers and the nobles are different, they rely on the prestige of the resume, not like the nobles as long as they brush their faces in front of the emperor, so although the nobles are a little unkind, Many nobles still have real talents and real learning.

The plan in the court has been determined, and the door of the Chengguo Mansion is lively again, everyone knows that Gu Shizi is also one of the people who are in charge this time, the emperor is sending the proper credit to Gu Shizi, it can be seen that his status in the emperor's heart, it is better to hurry up and pull the relationship, and the best breakthrough is not that there is a sick lady in the Chengguo Mansion, who made the sick lady better, even if it is a little better, it can be a relationship, I don't see the eldest lady of the Hubu Shangshu Lu family, is now a hot figure in the Beijing lady? There is an endless stream of people who come to the door to ask for relatives every day, Zhou's is to wake up with a smile every day, Lu Shangshu often goes to the Chengguo Mansion to talk deeply with Gu Shizi (in fact, people are talking about business), so Gu Mingxin received a bunch of strange gifts, medicinal materials are the most normal, Guanyin statue, Buddha statue, talismans, hundred clothes, scriptures, holy water...... These are miraculous, and there are people who help to invite the master, the monk and the Taoist fairy Gu, these are said to be very capable, fortunately, my grandmother is not blindly believing in it except for the blessing of Miss Lu, or this little body is really going to have a cordial meeting with my cheap mother, can I say that I have a father with outstanding ability, is it really a trouble?

Not to mention Gu Mingxin's little hypocritical troubles, Gu Shizi and a group of ministers are very busy, raising food and silver, fishing in troubled waters under the embankment, and taking time to look at other official duties and deal with the relationship, today my eldest son wants to see Jiangnan to see and know, tomorrow there is an old man who comes to ask for favors, and there is an old one next to him who does not know that is the emperor's eyeliner, and he is busy in the case that everyone has lost weight, even if the officials who have nothing to do have lost weight (at this time, if you are fatter than before, you really dislike the official hat is too easy to wear), in early July, Gu Shizi and King An led a group of people early in the morning and set off with food and other things.

All the way by water and land, I hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Yangzhou City after more than a month.

Yangzhou Governor Cheng Guangsheng Cheng personally greeted him at Guangling Wharf three days ago, and Wen Shihong, the governor of Jiangnan, personally led troops to greet him. Isn't it just a small disaster relief? Haven't you heard of the face project? The face project is secondary, on the one hand, to show the importance of the disaster relief personnel, that is, to the emperor, and secondly, to buy a good one in front of these personnel, so that they can say good things for them in front of the emperor, and it is also good to reduce some punishments. The man-made disaster caught them off guard, somewhat aggrieved, but the punishment is appropriate, do not ask for relief, it is very important to have a good impression in front of the emperor, in addition to the people, give them a reassuring pill at the same time there is some deterrence, some Diao people and other anti-court forces have taken advantage of this to make trouble, a bad Jiangnan will be in chaos, and Jiangnan is the grain warehouse of the imperial court, grain is one of the cornerstones of the imperial court's stability, Jiangnan is in chaos, the border pass will be unstable, the border pass is unstable, Wars are frequent, and the people will be consumed the most, and the people are hard, and the people's instability is not far from the civil strife in the imperial court, so they cannot be allowed to pay less attention to it.

The boat slowly approached the wharf, the wharf had been emptied, and the people on both sides watched from afar, King An and Gu Shizi got off the boat first, and Cheng Zhifu and Wendu Governor hurriedly greeted the "ministers, the prince is blessed and safe." ”

"You're polite, please get up." King An has always been a quiet person, and his talent is also mediocre, and he also knows that he is just a symbolic figure in this disaster relief, and Gu Shizi is mainly responsible, so he has no relationship with these officials or anything, and he doesn't dare to get close to them, so forget about dating or something.

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"Lord Wang, Lord Shizi, this time I have worked hard all the way, can I go back to the Yamen to rest first?"

Prince An: "There is a prefect of Laocheng." ”

Cheng Zhifu hurriedly replied, "The prince is polite, these are all in the next place." ”

"Lord Wang, the prince and the ministers should go and rest first, the rest of the things, Wen will definitely arrange them, please rest assured."

"Yes, Lord Wang, Lord Shi and everyone here, please, the carriage has been arranged, if there is anything inconsiderate, please bring it up, it will definitely be arranged in the future."

"If you have worked, the governor of Wendu, please prefect Cheng."

The group got into the carriage and went to the Yamen, the people were very happy, the relief of the imperial court finally arrived, although they would not be hungry because of the loss of crops, but it is true that there is no harvest this season, if the imperial court does not help them, it is true that they are hungry and cold this year, those who say that the imperial court does not act, the northwest wars are frequent, and the statement that the imperial court wants to levy troops and raise taxes seems to be false, they have been worried for so long, they are afraid of raising taxes and conscription, although the prefect has repeatedly emphasized that the imperial court has sent people with materials for disaster relief, But if they don't see the people of the court coming, they can't rest assured, who knows whether what the prefect said is true or false, now the thieves are rampant, there are many people who stand on their own hills, bandits are in trouble, those rumors are justified, they can't help but worry, plus the rise in prices, their hearts, like a lonely boat in the vast sea, swinging around, can't find a place to land, now the people of the court have finally arrived, their hearts have settled, not to mention that this time even the prince is here, I heard that Gu Shizi, who has been winning a big victory at the border, also came, I believe they will be able to help them solve their difficulties.

It was already evening when they arrived at the Yamen, after washing, the group was in a hurry, they were already exhausted, they were usually reading books and visiting the lake, where were they so anxious to pass by, so they rested after eating, and if there was something to say, they would not be able to turn away without good energy.

King An also fell asleep with the crowd, and left those worries to Gu Shizi, those who can work hard, he just needs to be an idle prince, who called Shizi Ye capable? In this way, King An met with Zhou without guilt.

Gu Shizi is worthy of being a capable person, everyone else is exhausted, he is still full of energy as usual After asking about the placement of materials, he arranged a lot of affairs before resting in the middle of the night, Cheng Zhifu and others, when they heard that Gu Shizi had rested, they sighed and rested.
