It doesn't really matter if he leaves or not, it's just that when he was there, there was still a mountain above the heads of the officials in Jiangnan, and they could be more cautious.

"Third Highness, is there really no room for turning?" Before leaving, the subordinates who accompanied the three princes asked a little unwillingly.

Your Majesty sent the three princes here, but now they haven't completed the task assigned by Your Majesty, so they have to go back like this, it's really....

"Leeway? Things have come to this point, do you think there is still room for it? The third prince's face was gloomy, and he was obviously very unwilling, but he also knew that the situation at this time had reached the point where he could no longer stay.

"If I am allowed to hold on for two or three months, things will only get worse, and when the time comes, let alone any merits, my father will be blessed if he doesn't cut off my head!" Although he usually doesn't pay attention, how can he also be a potential competitor of the prince, after such a long time, how can he not understand how many catties and taels he has?

Now that the people's rebellion has not been eliminated, many officials in Jiangnan may not be clean in their hands, and some of them have always been good friends with him, and he can't do this in public or private, and he doesn't have the courage to do this.

If he really did it, and then these people would not be of his use, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?

Therefore, he had no other choice but to return to the capital in a gloomy manner.

The emperor seemed to have known such an outcome for a long time, and while recalling the three princes, he immediately ordered another inspector to be sent to Xu Fang, the imperial minister, to take charge of the affairs of Jiangnan.

When Yan Qingge saw the news of his return, he knew that the situation might take a turn for the better.

As far as Xu Fang was concerned, the situation in Jiangnan could not be delayed for a long time, so after receiving the will, he was summoned to the palace, and after receiving the emperor's will, he set off for Beijing.

The first thing Xu Fang did when he put it in Jiangnan was to order the opening of the warehouse to release grain.

"My lord, at this time, the price of food in the market has risen wildly, I wonder what your good plan is?"

The first reason for allowing grain to be released in the south of the Yangtze River is not to stabilize prices, but to solve the problem of food and clothing for the hungry people.

The old method is still used, the government soup porridge, using a large pot to boil the porridge, boiling the porridge thickly, but each pot will be sprinkled with a layer of fine sand, not much, but enough to discourage those who are not hungry.

Some people who are accustomed to eating fine grains and do not take the rations in the official poems as the price of their lives, naturally look down on this sprinkled fine sand, some dirty porridge, but for the residents, let alone a layer of fine sand, it is to throw a bunch of stones into it, as long as it can save lives, they still have to eat, it is good to be able to save their lives, and they also pay attention to what they do.

Although Xu Fang's trick was a little damaged, in the end, he really released all the porridge and rice to the victims, which was completely based on the lessons left by the three princes before.

The three princes also gave porridge, and the porridge boiled by cutting corners with the people below was not enough to satisfy their stomachs, and the other was that some people stole the advantage of the government and squeezed out the share of those real victims, so this porridge boiled pot after pot, but the real effect was very effective.

"My lord, although this plan is good, but if someone visits you to the emperor, or goes to the capital to sue you, how can it be good?" Obviously, not everyone agrees with Xu Fang's move.

Although this trick is good, it can really be a trick of last resort, but if someone makes a big fuss about it, isn't it?

Xu Fang stroked his beard, sighed and said: "This is also a helpless way, now this Jiangnan is also starving, and only by doing this can it be temporarily relieved, not to mention that the root of the Jiangnan disaster is still in the word official, don't deal with the officials who should be disposed of, do you think the affairs in Jiangnan can be calmed down?" ”

Xu Fang also knows that there is still some room for operation in the eyes of some people, but they can only take this step at present, how can it be so easy to collect this stall?

Xu Fang, as the imperial history, naturally knows the power of this local officialdom, but if the Jiangnan matter is to be successfully resolved, the local officials can only be opened, before he arrived, the emperor has dealt with several officials in Jiangnan, and he is leading people to inspect the embankment in addition to the yamen.

Xu Fang is the minister of the Qin Mission, and his every move is naturally watched, but how could Xu Fang not know this, so he took two family members to disguise themselves and pretend to be the people who repaired the embankment to the dam.

Those magistrates probably never dreamed that the Lord Qincha sent by the imperial court would pretend to be a man to repair the embankment on this dam.

"Look, my lord, the over there is the worst to collapse this time."

"It rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River, floods are not uncommon, when the embankment was built, the embankment in the south of the Yangtze River was repaired every year, and it collapsed every year, especially the one you just pointed out, the problem is not small!"

Xu Fang deliberately checked the records of the reinforcement and construction of various embankments in the south of the Yangtze River over the years the night before, and found that the section in front of him was reinforced every year, but now there are still problems, and even the collapse of the embankments in other places is more serious.

So what have you been cultivating for so many years?

"After so many years, some people may have already committed capital crimes!"

Qin cha Xingyuan

"I have come to visit Lord Qincha, and I hope that the chief will report it."

Xu Fang's housekeeper looked at the polite official in front of him, and replied respectfully on his face: "The time you came today is not coincidental, my lord read the official document late yesterday, and now he is still sleeping peacefully, if the adult has something, you might as well come back tomorrow, or the adult will leave his name and official position, and when my lord wakes up, the villain must tell him." ”

"Oh? Lord Chincha is really a servant! Since he is so lowly and does not bother, I hope that the chief manager will tell me that Lord Qincha must take care of his health! ”

"It's nature!"

The manager sent the visitor out of the door, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He disposed of the official documents in the study and waited for Xu to return to the house.

In the evening, Xu Fang worked on the embankment for a day before returning to the mansion and returning to the study, but after drinking a cup of tea, he asked: "Xu An, I am not in the house, but is there anyone to visit?" ”

Xu An replaced the empty tea cup with the tea cup in his hand, and said: "Naturally, someone came to the door when the master was not there, so that the master could know that early this morning, there was a Ningzhou assassin Shi to come to the house, I heard that the old man read the official document late yesterday, and he was resting, so he sent him away." ”

"Oh, you don't show any feet, do you?" Xu Fang listened, put down the teacup with interest, and asked.

"No, the villain is polite and doesn't lose a bit of proportion."

Xu Fang raised his hand and said, "You little guy!" I can't see that I have a bit of acting talent! ”

Saying this, Xu An scratched his hair a little embarrassed and smiled innocently.

Xu Fang put down the official document in his hand and thought thoughtfully.
