Chapter 171: Little pawn
"Master Fu, Your Majesty wants to see you!"
Father-in-law Jia's serious words suddenly made Dong Yuan and Dong Shulan nervous, but Fu Xiaoguan smiled indifferently and said to them: "In this way, it is not a big deal, you don't have to be nervous." Auntie, this braised lion's head is delicious, if it's convenient, let's have this dish for dinner. ”
When has this been, this kid is actually thinking about dinner!
Dong Yuan glared at Fu Xiaoguan: "If it's okay, this braised lion's head will naturally be made for you to eat, if there's something...... Don't think about anything! ”
Fu Xiaoguan hehe, "I promise it's okay, okay, you can rest assured and wait for the news, I'll go see the emperor first." ”
Fu Xiaoguan left the Dong Mansion with Gonggong Jia and got into the carriage, and his face became gloomy.
In this way, I am afraid that my guess will come true, these bastards, all damn it! delayed Lao Tzu and his mother-in-law to collude with his feelings, and saw that he was about to conquer his mother-in-law, and this happy day was just about to beckon, but a guy was beaten down by those bastards.
Fu Xiaoguan gritted his teeth and frightened Father-in-law Jia with a vicious appearance, this kid ...... What is this look like you want to eat people?
"Ah, Father-in-law Jia, look at my ...... memory" Fu Xiaoguan took out two bottles of perfume from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Father-in-law Jia, "The kid only entered Beijing yesterday, and I thought that I would enter the palace yesterday to give this perfume to my father-in-law, but I didn't expect that there would be too many things and it would be delayed." As a result, I only knew that I had taken a break today, and I still had some regrets in my heart, but today it happened that Your Majesty asked you to come out to look for me, no, this is fate. ”
Father-in-law Jia was happy in his heart, this thing is now available in Beijing, although a small bottle is ten taels of silver, but for him, of course, this is nothing.
This thing is excellent, he has never broken since the last time Fu Xiaoguan gave him a bottle, and today Fu Xiaoguan gave him two bottles, although this gift is not valuable, what is valuable is this kid's exquisite thoughts.
"Our family won't be polite to Fu Gongzi...... Gonggong Jia put the perfume in his sleeve and said: "Today, His Majesty was going to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect Dong Shangshu to come in a hurry, and then talked about something...... Dong Shangshu said This is your opinion, Fu Gongzi is really young and promising, although His Majesty has not praised it, but according to our family, His Majesty attaches great importance to Gongzi's opinion, otherwise he would not be so anxious to send our family to invite you into the palace. ”
Fu Xiaoguan grinned, "Father-in-law praises absurdly...... Dare to ask my father-in-law, in addition to His Majesty and Dong Shangshu in the imperial study, are there other officials? ”
"Not for the time being, but after our family welcomes you to the palace, we have to go to the Yan Mansion and the Fei family."
"Oh...... There is Lao Gonggong. ”
For such an important matter, His Majesty will definitely discuss it with Yan Beixi Yan Shidao, as for the Fei family...... Fei Bang was in charge of the military department and should have participated.
Fu Xiaoguan pondered for a moment and had an idea in his heart, after seeing His Majesty, he had to go to find Grandpa Nian, this matter was a bit troublesome, the harem was not something he could enter and exit at will, without the invitation of Concubine Shang, or without the leadership of Yu Wenyun, he could not enter.
All the way into the palace and came to the imperial study, Jia Gonggong announced his resignation and left, and Fu Xiaoguan walked in.
There was silence inside.
His Majesty was standing by a wall with a huge map.
Dong Kangping sat at the coffee table, looking through a thick account book in his hand.
No one paid attention to Fu Xiaoguan, which was a little embarrassing, he looked left and right, and said: "Weichen see the emperor!" ”
The emperor didn't bird him, he still looked at the map, Dong Kangping didn't look up at him, he still frowned and looked at the account book.
Okay, Fu Xiaoguan pursed his mouth, simply sat down at the coffee table, and poured a cup of tea for Dong Kangping and himself.
Dong Kangping glanced at him, this kid is really bold!
"How's it going?" Fu Xiaoguan leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Not good."
"Oh...... Show me. ”
Dong Kangping raised his eyelids, thinking to himself, can you understand such a complicated thing?
He still handed an account book to Fu Xiaoguan, "This is the grain account of Shannan Dongdao this year." ”
Fu Xiaoguan took it and looked at it quickly, the pages of the book were turned around, only occasionally stopping for two breaths, and then continuing to turn again, without much effort, he finished reading this thick account book.
Dong Kangping glanced at him again, thinking that this kid could write poetry and articles, but he was a layman in this account.
According to the book, the two largest of these are from May and July. A total of 186,000 stone of grain was transferred from the South East Province of Mayshan and sent to Xinzhou, on the grounds that it was preparing for war in the north. At the end of July, 230,000 stone of grain was transferred from Shannan East Road and sent to the north and south of Henan, on the grounds that the imperial court was providing disaster relief. This year, Shannan Dongdao collected a total of 527,000 stone of coarse grain and fine grain, and after removing these 316,000 stones, 211,000 stone remained...... The grain in this Shannan East Road can't be moved, so if you think about it, Jiannan East Road is almost like this. ”
Dong Kangping raised his head and looked at Fu Xiaoguan, extremely surprised in his heart, because this number was correct!
Fu Xiaoguan frowned and said: "Then this needs to be transferred from the south and north of the Yangtze River...... He stood up, walked to the emperor's side, and said four words: "Trouble let me!" ”
Dong Kangping's eyes suddenly widened, and His Majesty raised his slap and almost slapped Fu Xiaoguan's head.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't look at him, but stretched out a hand and landed on the map.
The north and south of the Yangtze River have to transport grain to the east...... It's so far!
This map is very different from the map of the previous life, according to the route of this map, the grain from the north and south of the Yangtze River goes up the river through the waterway, passes through Jinling and then to Zhenjiang Mansion, and then is transported by land into the eastern part of Shannan until Lanling, the largest town in the east of Dayu - what is this, the sea?
At least there is no sea on this map, and the names of the towns on the Yangtze River are almost different, and the names and divisions of the entire administrative region are also different.
Fu Xiaoguan felt very strange, this world is so different, isn't it a parallel world?
Where the hell am I?
Now is not the time to dwell on this issue, Fu Xiaoguan spoke: "It will take at least a month to mobilize grain and grass from the two roads of the Yangtze River to Lanling, and this is not counting the heavy snow in winter to close the road, so this matter depends on how Your Majesty chooses." ”
Yu Yin's slap didn't fall after all, he glared at Fu Xiaoguan fiercely, and roared: "I need to choose? I am the Son of Heaven and the King of a country, so why should I choose? ”
Fu Xiaoguan turned his head and bowed, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks so." Take a step back and open the sky and endure the calm for a while. What we need now is time, and in addition...... Intelligence is also needed. I don't know if there has been any change in the border army of Yiguo, but I think there should be, at least they need to make a gesture to show your majesty. Actually, you don't have to worry about this at all, what are you anxious about? Wouldn't it be better to settle accounts after the fall? ”
Yu Yin took a deep breath, he had received the news two days ago about the changes in the border army of Yiguo, but there would always be so many changes in the army here in a year, and he didn't care much, after all, there were 300,000 troops in the eastern border, and this country of Yiguo did not dare to fight so much.
But as soon as he heard Dong Kangping say it today, he suddenly woke up, and he felt that this matter was not trivial. Then Dong Kangping checked, and sure enough, through the hands of Tao Zhuo, the right attendant of the household department, the food in Shannan East Road and Jiannan East Road was gone.
Then once the war starts, the food stored in Lanling City will last for more than a month at most. It's winter, and time is stretched to fetch food from elsewhere.
"Wolf ambition! How have I ever treated them badly? But now they dare to lure wolves into the house! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
"If you fart, let it go!"
"Oh...... The minister let go, and the minister thought that since these corrupt officials and corrupt officials had been verified, it was better to behead them directly, and then recall the Qin Mission, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? ”
"Chopped? I haven't interrogated it yet, and now that I've caught this net, how can I give it up so easily. ”
Fu Xiaoguan pondered for a moment and replied: "The minister's intention is not to let His Majesty give up, but to ...... We need time. The beheading of these detained criminals without trial and the recall of the various envoys is a manifestation of His Majesty's attitude to those people, who will think that His Majesty will no longer pursue the matter of disaster relief and corruption, and then the war in the east will not start easily. ”
"Then behead them all, how do I know who is behind this?"
"Your Majesty, White Duck, there are actually a lot."
Yu Yin was stunned and stared at Fu Xiaoguan, this kid ...... Yes!
Dong Kangping was shocked again, the matter of beheading the white duck broke out in the third year of Xuanli, and the autumn execution executed sixty-two people, including fifty-two white ducks - that is, for the dead ghosts, His Majesty was furious and thoroughly investigated the officials, causing the officials to fall down to nineteen people, this kid actually dared to persuade His Majesty to use the white duck to replace those people!
"Junior official, don't talk nonsense about this matter, Your Majesty has his own opinions." Dong Kangping hurriedly said.
Yu Yin waved his hand, "Let's mobilize grain from Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but it is necessary to pay attention to this matter and keep a low profile, and it is best not to arouse their ideas." ”
This is very difficult, after all, the imperial court has made a big move to mobilize food, and it is impossible to hide it from all the officials in the court.
Fu Xiaoguan sighed, I have to do this myself, it can be regarded as a favor for my father-in-law.
"Master Dong will leave this matter to me."
"Can you do it?"
"Man, you have to do it, you only need to prepare silver taels. But it's better not to go through the household department, and as for other things, I will arrange it. ”
The Fu family was originally a big landowner in Linjiang, and the relationship between Fu Daguan and the grain merchants was very good, besides, now his Siniang's family was originally engaged in shipping, and he also had Xishan Express, which would be much smaller if he did not operate privately through the imperial court.
"Okay, if you handle this well, I will give you a promotion."
"Your Majesty must not, the minister is a pawn in the hands of His Majesty who has not yet crossed the river, and now he is just doing his best to share the worries of His Majesty, and the other is that Weichen has a small request."
"You speak!"
"Today's matter, please limit the three of us to know about it."
"Accurate!"
"Also...... The minister has one more thing to ask for. ”
“……”
"The minister wants to go to the harem, but it's quite troublesome to have no waist card, this thing is ......"
The emperor glared, took out a jade plaque and threw it to Fu Xiaoguan, "Get out!" ”
