Chapter 058: Lin Tanhua Shows Talent in Disaster Relief

Since Lin Jue was promoted to the compilation of the Liupin Hanlin, he has been staying with the emperor as an errand boy, responsible for drafting edicts and distributing cabinet recitals. Some of the idle work of the total is mostly done by him, although it is more tedious, but the emperor walks closely, and he is on an errand in the cabinet, and he is decent.

Lin Jue walked in the cabinet as a compilation from the six grades, although it was not in accordance with the rules, but it was difficult to do it, and he couldn't touch the core, so several cabinet ministers also turned a blind eye.

Now that the crown prince has also entered the cabinet and followed several cabinet elders to learn the affairs of auxiliary government, His Majesty the Emperor has the posture of spreading his hands. The emperor did not hold on to power, and intended to exercise the prince's ability, and several elders were pleased, but also made great efforts to teach the prince.

Although Lin Jue can't participate in politics and discussion with him, and he is mostly instructed to do this and that, he occasionally listens to it, and he feels that he has benefited a lot.

Lin Xiaotanhua is clever and sensible, and he is young, which makes several adults who are used to seeing children at home feel the feeling of ice and fire. On the one hand, Lin Jue is very good at being a person, but after working in the cabinet for two days, he remembered which adult likes what kind of tea he likes, what kind of water temperature he likes, which adult loves to be hungry, how often he needs to have a snack, which adult has a bad eye, and he needs to read it softly when reading the recital. In this way, Rao is the most picky left minister, and he also feels ironed in his heart.

There is a kind of child called someone else's child, and other people's children are really outstanding, and they are more and more inferior to their own children. Looking at Lin Jue like this, and thinking about his own mud monkey, it is really painful and happy!

Although it is painful and happy, Lin Jue still has to do it in the cabinet, and several adults can only enjoy Lin Jue's attentive service while secretly scolding Lin Ruhai for □□ people, and then go home to continue to teach their monkey cubs!

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Hongzheng, a heavy snowfall that had not been seen in a hundred years hit the capital. Houses on the outskirts of Beijing were crushed one after another, and many people were crushed to death while still asleep, and overnight, widows and lonely people abounded.

The crown prince Li Yiyang was ordered to provide disaster relief and compensate the people, and there were many snow disasters in the south before, and the household department allocated a lot of silver for disaster relief, which was done by the six princes. Although the six princes are not brilliant, they are not very wrong, and Emperor Hongzheng is still satisfied. Now that there is a disaster in Beijing, Emperor Hongzheng intends to ask the prince to do it, so that the prince can understand how difficult the people's livelihood is.

Because the previous disaster relief household department allocated a lot of silver, this year's year is not good, Emperor Hongzheng exempted several states and counties from tax silver, the household department really has no extra silver, Emperor Hongzheng allocated 200,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury, for disaster relief.

The crown prince asked Emperor Hongzheng for Lin Jue, and Lin Jue recommended Qi Wenzhao to the prince, and Emperor Hongzheng specially approved the two to assist the prince in running errands together. Qi Wenzhao is good at arithmetic, Lin Jue is good at fortifications, and with these two people from the side, it is twice the result with half the effort.

Lin Jue has been working in the cabinet for a long time, looking at decency, but in fact he is nothing. After all, the cabinet is a place to look at qualifications, and the cabinet ministers are all from Hanlin, and they don't have a top three fame, so they are embarrassed to say it. The only thing that Lin Jue can compare with is that he only fell into the false name of Tanhua at a young age. And how did this Tanhua come about, to put it bluntly, what the emperor values is not his talent, but his age. Think about it, the fifteen-year-old Tanhualang, Hugh said that this dynasty, even the last two dynasties, there is none.

Therefore, what Lin Jue lacks now is not the emperor's appreciation, but his own qualifications. The more seniority he accumulates, the more he will be able to speak in the cabinet. Now that the emperor has made an exception to stuff him into the cabinet, if he doesn't look for opportunities to increase his qualifications, I'm afraid that in the long run, he can only be an idle worker doing odd jobs. How long can the emperor's favor last, he is still young, and the emperor of this dynasty can pamper him, so what about the next emperor, and then the next emperor?

And as a descendant, Lin Jue himself is not lacking in talent, and it can even be said that he often sees things and thinks about things deeper and farther. This is not to say that he is much more capable than others, but people in the present world are often limited by the times, but Lin Jue can not be restricted by this, and when he does things, he shows his difference.

What Lin Jue lacks now is just an opportunity.

And the crown prince just provided Lin Jue with such an opportunity to show his strength.

After receiving the emperor's order, the disaster relief trio met first. The crown prince Li Yiyang is a hard-working person, he and Lin Jue are already familiar with each other, but Qi Wenzhao is not familiar with them, but at this time, they can't take care of these, the three of you have gone through the key points of this disaster relief one by one, and felt that there was nothing missing, so they went separately to do the errand.

What is the most important thing about disaster relief? Naturally, it is money, and it is easy to do things with money. Fortunately, the area of the snow disaster is not large, only the capital and the two nearby counties were more severely affected, and the local government in other places can be properly settled.

Winter snow disasters are common, and there are also past precedents to follow, such as the six princes who went to the south for disaster relief before, which directly followed the old precedents, so although they are not brilliant, they are not bad. Lin Jue and the three of them are all on an errand for the first time, although they were ordered by the prince, if they can't do it well, they can't raise their heads.

When a disaster occurs, the government basically will not send people to help, and mainly rely on the local people to save themselves, and the government is mainly responsible for disaster relief after the disaster.

Because it happened in the suburbs of Beijing, and it was the disaster relief silver from the emperor's inner treasury, there was no need to exploit it layer by layer, and it was the time to show its strength. If this opportunity is not used well, Lin Jue wants to hammer himself to death.

The prince worked together in a division of labor, the prince had an overview of the overall situation to appease the people, Qi Wenzhao was responsible for mobilizing rice, grain, cloth, and silk, and Lin Jue was responsible for post-disaster reconstruction.

Because the snow began in the middle of the night, people were asleep while the roofs collapsed, and countless people were crushed to death.

Fortunately, the sky was clear on the second day, but the sun was still good during the day, but at night the weather was dry and cold, and the victims had nowhere to live. At this time, the land has been frozen, and it is impossible to dig a hole in the ground to keep out the cold, Lin Jue's meaning, in addition to the civilians in the suburbs, there are some royal relatives and relatives of Zhuangzi Farmland, can these people be mobilized to vacate a part of the farmhouse, for these people to live for the time being.

Because it was impossible to make the victims enter the city, lest someone take advantage of the chaos and make the people's hearts unstable, many people agreed with Lin Jue's suggestion. However, when it comes to action, there are very few people who respond.

□□ Emperor Chen's concubine led the Taoist concept of cultivation Ci Zhen was also in the suburbs of Beijing, Lin Jue originally wanted to place some of the female dependents and children there, but it was not easy to close the mountain with heavy snow, and secondly, the nunnery also suffered a disaster, although it was not strict, but it could not accommodate too many people.

Their own hot spring Zhuangzi is really far away from Beijing, and it is really not convenient for the victims to go in the past, and the marquis of Beijing is noble, and only two are very suitable. One is the hot spring village of the old thousand-year-old prince of Zhongshun, and the other is the maiden home of the Empress Dowager Chen, the grange of the old uncle Chen Lin.

As soon as they heard that it was these two families, the three of them collectively fell silent.

Needless to say, Prince Zhongshun is the elder of the prince, and he himself does not come out, and the prince is not easy to open his mouth to make demands. The relationship between the Chen family and the prince is delicate, but it is possible to start from Chen Yejun's place, think about it, in the end, it was Lin Jue who went to find Xie Jinxuan, and Xie Jinxuan entrusted King Shui Rong of Beijing to find Chen Yejun.

Although Chen Yejun is a member of the Chen family, he is a loyal emperor, and when Lin Jue entered Beijing, he also found his way to hand over the secret fold, otherwise how would the emperor know which one he was. Chen Yejun is at the helm of the Chen family's generation, but he is not close to the six princes or the crown prince, he has always remained neutral and impartial.

If it weren't really impossible, Lin Jue wouldn't want to find Chen Yejun's way. With Chen Yejun's sense of smell, he would not refuse this request at all. And Chen Yejun represents the Chen family, and the victims will not be grateful that this is the prince's arrangement, but will praise the Empress Dowager Chen's mercy, which is not what the prince and his faction want to see.

Lin Jue is now partial to the prince, so he has already expressed his concerns, but fortunately, the prince takes the overall situation into account, and will not still blindly worry about the struggle for power and throne at this time, but he made a choice after a while. Lin Jue admired the prince even more in his heart, and only in front of the big right and wrong could he see whether a person could be a master.

Chen Yejun was not verbose, and when he understood the intention of King Beijing, he immediately agreed to resettle the victims in his own grange. It had already been delayed for a day, and many of the frail elderly among the victims had frozen to death. Cotton clothing and grain are still in the process of being recruited, and what can be mobilized in Beijing is very limited, and many still need to be requisitioned from other places.

When the victims moved into the Chen family's grange, they had a place to protect themselves from the wind and cold, and when the night came, the weather turned cold, and no one froze to death. Due to the difficulty of mobilizing grain, all the grain stored in Beijing could not be taken out, so Qi Wenzhao mobilized the noble merchants to donate food and materials. The king of Yonghe County, the king of Pingyang County, and the king of Beijing, several princes and nobles took the lead in responding, and then many nobles followed. Among the merchants, the Xue family of the imperial merchant was the first to act, dispatching many family members to help the government distribute materials, and also donated a lot of backlog of old fabrics.

Under the leadership of the six princesses, the princesses of Pingyang County, the Jingzhong edict also donated money and materials. The six princesses steamed a lot of steamed buns with their own hands, carried them to the Chen family's grange by the people in the house, and asked the six princes to distribute them in person.

Lin Jue heard about it, but smiled coldly. They have always done things in the name of the emperor, that is, other nobles donated food and materials, and none of them said how they were, these six princes and their wives are good, they are afraid that others will not know, and they actually come to serve porridge to the victims in person with the dignity of a dignified county king.

Emperor Hongzheng is different from his father Emperor Qiande, Emperor Hongzheng spent nearly ten years to investigate the character of the prince, before officially canonizing the prince, and Emperor Hongzheng was very clear in the matter of establishing the prince. Could it be that the six princes thought that if he won the hearts of the people, he would be able to make Emperor Hongzheng change his mind? It's too much to underestimate the wisdom of the Son of Heaven.

Sure enough, after Emperor Hongzheng heard about the performance of the six princes and his wife singing and writing well from Empress Chen, instead of showing any joy, he glanced at Empress Chen coldly, "If you have that time, it is better to go to the ministry to learn some serious things from his grandfather, and the town is idle during the day, so what kind of chaos will be added." ”

Emperor Hongzheng brushed his sleeves away, and Empress Chen gritted a mouthful of silver teeth.
