Chapter Eighty-Nine

Yu Wenxian stretched out his hands and pressed them, and said, "Let's sit down." After watching everyone sit down one after another, Yu Wenxian continued: "Now the disaster in Jingzhou is imminent, my father went to the warehouses yesterday, and the warehouses are scraping the cracks, and the porridge field is already a porridge a day, and in another three or four days, the porridge field is afraid that it will be difficult to continue." Jingzhou is the Jingzhou of the Great Zhou, and it is our own Jingzhou, seeing our fellow villagers and people starving and displaced, can you bear it? ”

After speaking, Yu Wenxian glanced at the people in the hall, and when he saw that someone lowered his head, he continued: "You can't bear it, the court can't bear it, and Your Majesty and Tsukasa can't bear it." For the sake of this, I can't bear it, so my father invited everyone over today to discuss a countermeasure. By the way, I also saw the benevolence, righteousness, and talent of Jingzhou celebrities. Now, it is a year of famine, and there is no good wine and good food to entertain you, so Xian will replace wine with tea, and I will pay tribute to you first. After saying that, he picked up the tea bowl and stood up and drank a bowl. The crowd had no choice but to hold up their teacups.

At this time, Ji Xin in the hall got up and said: "What Qi Guogong said is very true, in this year of disaster, the people are suffering, and we can't bear to see the villagers suffer, so I hope that Qi Guogong can come to Jingzhou to preside over the overall situation and lead us to tide over the difficulties together!" ”

"Yes, yes, you are in charge of the overall situation, and we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty. ......" There are many people behind who don't know whether it is out of sincerity or to please Yu Wenxian, and they are all agreeing.

"Okay, thank you for your trust in the court, well, good." Yu Wenxian bowed his hand and thanked him, and then said to Ji Xin, who had just spoken: "You are the senior disciples of the academy, right?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I and other senior brothers dare not be ashamed, just ordinary disciples of Mingde Academy." Ji Xin replied.

"Well, Mingde Academy, my father has heard about it a long time ago, and I really envy you, I am fortunate to listen to the teachings of the sages under the apricot altar. Enlightenment, proximity to the people, and perfection, the way of the university, in the end, should be applied to what you have learned, and the unity of action and knowledge. Yu Wenxian's words showed envy, and then he said: "Before leaving Chang'an, a noble person asked me to bring a letter to Mr. Pang in your hospital, and the Japanese duke will personally visit Mr. Pang in the academy, I don't know if his old man is still in good health?" ”

"Back to Qi Guogong, the family teacher is fine, since Qi Guogong is coming to the academy, I will definitely wait for it." Ji Xin said.

"No, let you come this time, this time I invite you to come to discuss in the capacity of Jingzhou Thorn History, if you want to go to the academy, you must visit in the name of studying, how can you bother. But I don't know if Pang Lao sent all the high-ranking disciples to come, what advice do you have for the current situation? Yu Wenxian asked.

"I don't dare to speak, but the family teacher does have instructions for the disciples."

"Oh? What does Pang Lao have to teach you? Yu Wenxian was slightly surprised.

"The teacher said that the livelihood of the people should be the priority, and the academy should make a modest contribution to the government's disaster relief. But I don't know what the countermeasures of His Royal Highness of Qi are? Ji Xin first expressed his position, and then asked.

"The imperial court has indeed thought of a lot of ways for disaster relief, this time the prince came, and also brought a will, our former assassin in Jingzhou, Ruan Hong, a big corrupt official, copied more than a million silver from him, these silver did not go to the treasury, in Jingzhou, oh yes, it was sealed by this secret envoy." Yu Wenxian pointed at Zhang Hu and said.

Zhang Hu nodded and did not speak.

"Your Majesty said, since this is the people's fat and people's ointment looted by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, let's return it to the local people." Yu Wenxian waved his hand and said.

"I, the officials of Jingzhou, as well as the elders and villagers, thank the emperor for his grace!" At this time, Wu Ze took the lead in kneeling on the ground and said gratefully, and then the officials and guests who were not left in the lobby also had to kneel down and thank him.

"Everybody, get up. Get up, as long as the people live in peace, Your Majesty and Tsukasa will be relieved. After everyone sat down, Yu Wenxian said again: "Yesterday, the Assassin's Mansion has sent an official document to Yizhou, borrowing 30,000 stone of rice from the Yizhou Mansion to solve the current crisis, and it will arrive in January at the latest. ”

"That's really good, the people of Jingzhou are saved."

"Qi Guogong really has the ability, and he got so much rice at once."

"yes, that's easy to do this time."

……

A sound of joy came from below.

"But ......" Yu Wenxian paused and said: "Even if the rice from Yizhou can arrive on time, then it will be next month, what should I do this month, the rat nests in the official warehouse have been emptied......"

"That's really serious, the rat nest is empty, the rat is hungry and thin, and the rat meat in the mouth of the victim is not a few drops of oil and water, hahaha......" This sudden gag amused some people.

"Hehehe," Yu Wenxian finally reluctantly laughed a few times and said, "Emperor Jin Hui said that the victims have no food to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge?" The one who spoke just now, but is the Marquis of Ji Anhou Mao? ”

"Xiaguan Mao'an, I have seen His Royal Highness the Duke of Qi. Xiaguan just now did not mean that Emperor Jin Hui meant, but that there were indeed victims who fed on voles. Below, the short and fat Mao An stood up and arched his hand.

"Speaking of which, my father-in-law is a little related to you, and my father-in-law should also respect Mrs. Mao as his sister-in-law." Yu Wenxian directly pointed out this layer of relationship.

"Don't dare, my sister is just a side room in the Tsukasa Mansion, and I don't dare to be arrogant." Mao An said though. But the corners of his mouth still showed smugness.

"It's not true, Mrs. Mao is deeply favored by Tsukazai, and the little boy is also smart and clever. I had seen them before I left. Yu Wenxian actually didn't see Mrs. Mao, and said the scene. Then he said: "This time I am fair to Jingzhou, and I hope that Hou Ye will give me more advice if I don't understand." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the Duke of Qi is really tormented by the lower officials, if the Duke of Qi has any orders, the lower officials will not hesitate to go to the soup!" Mao An said hurriedly.

"Well, as I said just now, the official warehouse in Jingzhou is empty, and it is difficult to transport the grain outside for a while, so how should the victims live this month?" Yu Wenxian didn't talk to Mao An again, and asked everyone,

"That's easy to do, what I'm doing today are all rich businessmen in Jiangling and even Jingzhou, in the opinion of a little woman, you don't be generous, and donate some food appropriately to solve the urgent need, isn't that okay?" At this time, Xiang Xiu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood up and said.

Hearing Xiangxiu say this, everyone was silent, and the scene was a little depressing.

"yes, let's all take it out, won't this problem be solved? Our academy has decided to leave only a little ration and take out the rest to help the victims tide over the difficulties. At this time, Ji Xin got up and responded.

"Our embroidery workshop was originally born in poverty, and we have been taken care of by the people and you to have today, so the sisters of the embroidery workshop also donated all the food rations in return!" After Xiangxiu finished speaking, she glanced at Ji Xin, and Ji Xin nodded approvingly at her.

"Good! Okay, it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, this is a Hunan embroidery girl, the girl is smart and kind, a heroine among women, the father of Jingzhou in the Xian Dynasty, thank you two. Yu Wenxian actually thanked him,

"Qi Guogong is serious, and it is what we should do to relieve the suffering of the people." Ji Xin said.

"Just now there have been two people who have brought a good start for the people of Jingzhou, I can't hide it, this time my father came, and also brought a will of the imperial court, that is, the imperial court hopes that the rich and large families in Jingzhou can appropriately donate some food to help those disaster victims, here, I think life is not bad, can you donate some to help your fellow villagers survive this disaster year? Yes? Yu Wenxian said gently, and then swept his eyes around everyone.

At this time, in the lobby, the atmosphere suddenly became sluggish, and someone's expressions stiffened slightly, and they were surprisingly quiet for a while. "Of course, the imperial court will not take it in vain, but if it is a donor, the imperial court will issue a decree to reward them, give them a title, and glorify their ancestors." Yu Wenxian then added.

"Hehe, since the court has a will, it is incumbent on the lower officials, and when the lower officials go back, they will ask their families to clean up the warehouses and send rice to the porridge field. It can be regarded as doing a little good for the villagers. Mao An seems to be positive.

"Well, okay, the Hou Ye is generous, for the sake of the king, for the benefit of the people, this guild will truthfully play the court." Yu Wenxian said nonchalantly.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Duke of Qi." Mao An thanked with a smile.

After Mao An sat down, he glanced at Boss Xue in the rice line next to him, Boss Xue understood, stood up and said, "Since Master Hou." There are also the senior apprentices of the academy and the Hunan embroidery girls who are so scrambling, so the grass people and others should also do something for the fathers and elders of Jingzhou, don't you say? ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"We donate. Get ready when you get back. ”

"yes, we should have done that a long time ago."

"Okay, let's donate four or five hundred stones."

……

After Boss Xue finished speaking, he glanced at the people behind him, and everyone echoed and said.

All this was seen by Yu Wenxian, and sure enough, as Cui and Wu said, the wealthy and wealthy families in Jingzhou were all looking at Mao An and Boss Xue's eyes, but they agreed so easily, it was really suspicious. Although thinking so, Yu Wenxian still got up very gratefully and said, "Okay! Okay, it is said that the people of Jingzhou are simple and well-educated, and this is the case when I see it today, I Yu Wenxian is the father of Jingzhou, and the imperial court, thank you! ”

"Rest assured, each donation will be recorded in detail by the imperial court, and if it is reported, the imperial court will also reward it heavily." Wu Ze stepped forward and said.

Now the atmosphere in the lobby is very active, although Yu Wenxian is thinking in his heart, he still looks at everyone with a smile on his face, and then presses down and says, "Okay, your kindness, I Yu Wenxian will remember." Disaster relief will not all depend on you, and the imperial court will also allocate silver taels. Buy food and get through the difficult times with everyone! ”
