Chen Xiao's words directly put the little Jiujiu in the hearts of the ministers who were arguing with the two sides next year.

In the court, the ministers of both sides hated Chen Xiao in their hearts!

However, they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only keep their heads down, as if they didn't have this idea!

The emperor didn't break this kind of thing, after all, whether it was an idea or how, it hadn't been done yet.

So, the emperor said to Chen Xiao: "Chen Xiao's worries are not unreasonable! So, in this case, I will give you this task, how about it? ”

"What?" Chen Xiao was puzzled: "Let me take care of the disaster relief?" ”

"Not bad!" The emperor said, "How can you use these five million taels of silver for disaster relief?" ”

Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "Then it must be better to take money, go to the disaster-stricken place, and then buy grain, and bring money from the imperial capital!" Of course, I have to bring this money myself, not through the hands of local officials! ”

As soon as these words came out, a man from the Ministry of Officials spoke: "Heh, how can Lord Chen ensure that he will not be corrupted?" ”

Chen Xiao frowned: "Of these silver, one-tenth was donated by Lao Tzu, what is Lao Tzu greedy for?" Greedy for your own money? ”

The third prince looked at Chen Xiao's righteous appearance, and his heart ached inexplicably.

That official Langzhong's face was gloomy, and he was powerless to refute!

Chen Xiao snorted, stepped out of the ranks, looked at those ministers and said, "You one by one, listen well, I, Chen Xiao, have five restaurants that are full of people every day, and I charge less than 1,000 taels of silver every day."

Its liquor industry has been supplied to other Zhoukou in the surrounding areas, and the daily income is not less than 2,000 taels. In addition, the salt industry is more profitable, and there are popsicles for sale. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao raised his head slightly, pointed his nostrils at everyone, and continued:

"In other words, Lao Tzu wants money, he doesn't do anything a day, and a few thousand taels of silver are put into the account, do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present turned strange.

"So, I want to ask you, Lao Tzu, is there a need for corruption? As long as Lao Tzu is willing, Lao Tzu will produce a large number of its liquor and supply it to all places that are willing to enter the liquor and hair restaurants, which is fucking not faster than corruption? ”

It's crazy, but no one can argue with it!

Because what people say is right.

If nothing else, Chen Xiao's liquor is a novel and popular thing.

This thing, just sold in Chen Xiao's restaurant, has already made his five restaurants popular.

If it is produced in large quantities and pushed to the entire imperial capital and even the whole country, its wealth is unimaginable!

There is also salt, the fine salt he produces, white and fine, the taste is very good, and it is not bitter or astringent, compared with the inferior salt eaten by most upper-class people, it is simply one heaven and one earth!

So, this thing is also very profitable.

There is also a popsicle, on this hot day, only Chen Xiao's most ruthless restaurant, the fat man will secretly make a large number of popsicles according to Chen Xiao's method.

But it is also very expensive, a few taels of silver.

Hundreds of popsicles a day are hundreds of pieces of silver.

This money is earned, it doesn't smell good?

Therefore, if Chen Xiao wants to make money, it is so simple!

Embezzlement? I can't do it at all!

The emperor also spoke for Chen Xiao:

"Indeed, Chen Xiao, at the door where you make money, any one of them can make you a rich man, and corruption seems to have nothing to do with you!"

With the emperor's words, the ministers were even more speechless.

So they all shut up, and on the issue of disaster relief, it seems that there is really no way to take advantage.

Because let Chen Xiao go, they couldn't say anything!

So, the emperor also ordered, and the matter was handed over to Chen Xiao.

Let him take five million taels of silver and go to the south for disaster relief!

The floods in the south have destroyed many people's houses, many people have been left without food, and at least a million people have been affected!

At present, one tael of silver can buy 200 kilograms of rice.

A person eats about 10 kilograms of rice a month!

Two hundred kilograms of rice is enough for twenty people to eat for a month.

In other words, one tael of silver is enough for twenty people to eat for a month.

Five taels of silver is enough for a hundred people to eat for a month.

Fifty thousand taels of silver, enough for a million people to eat for a month.

500,000 taels is enough for the people in these disaster areas to have food for nearly a year.

Chen Xiao has a disaster payment of 5 million taels.

But they have to keep the victims fed for at least two years.

Because of the flood, all the food they planted was destroyed, and there was no harvest in the coming year, and they had to be fed by disaster funds.

Therefore, it will take at least one million taels of silver to eat.

In addition, we have to find a way for the victims to rebuild their houses, so that they will not be allowed to live anywhere.

These are the things that the yamen engineering departments in various places have to do, but the money has to be taken from the disaster money!

I don't know how much it will take.

In addition, it costs money to build canals, strengthen embankments, divert torrents, etc., all kinds of places!

Therefore, five million taels of silver sounds like a huge amount, but it is not necessarily enough to spend at that time!

These silver tickets, after the emperor assigned them to Chen Xiao, let the household exchange them for a large amount of silver tickets, and then packed them, full of ten boxes, and affixed the household seal.

The box, only Chen Xiao can open it!

In addition, the box is guarded by officers and soldiers with strong martial arts at any time to avoid accidents.

In the early dynasty, the emperor immediately sealed Chen Xiao, as the minister of the southern disaster relief minister, saw the official one level higher, and gave Shang Fang the sword, which can be cut first and then played!

Moreover, it is urgent to patrol the south for disaster relief, so let Chen Xiao set off as early as possible.

Such an honor and heavy responsibility is difficult for ordinary people to take their turn.

Chen Xiao was a little unhappy, but there was no way, doing good deeds, it was not easy to refuse!

It's just that he will definitely not be happy to let him go alone.

After retreating from the court, he went to the Nine Heavens Temple to find Long Jiuling, and after saying that he was going to the south, between the lines, the little Jiujiu in his heart was self-evident!

When Long Jiuling heard this, he naturally wanted to follow Chen Xiao.

But his face immediately turned bitter: "My father will definitely disagree......"

Chen Xiao had a bad idea: "Sneak out!" ”

Long Jiuling said: "It's difficult......"

"How did you sneak out last time?" Chen Xiao asked.

Long Jiuling thought for a while and said, "You have to leave the imperial capital first, and after my father relaxes his guard, I will have a chance!" ”

Chen Xiao nodded: "Understood!" ”

After leaving the palace, Chen Xiao made preparations, and the next day, he left the imperial capital with some accompanying officials of the household department.

After walking some distance, Chen Xiao stopped.

Lang Zhong, the new head of the Household Department Kurabe Division, was puzzled: "Lord Chen, why did you stop?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "Wait for someone! ”

The new Lang Zhong of the Kurabe Division was puzzled, in addition to the officers and soldiers who protected Chen Xiao who protected the silver and protected Chen Xiao this time, who else was there for him, the Kurabe Shilang who was in charge of grain, and several subordinates?

At the moment, in the palace.

The emperor was puzzled: "Chen Xiao is gone?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I've left a long time ago!" Praetorian Commander said.

"Jiu'er...... Why didn't it happen? "The emperor is strange.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard said, "Maybe the Ninth Princess thinks it's too far away, and she doesn't want to go!" ”

The emperor nodded: "Since Chen Xiao has already left, there is no need to be nervous, withdraw those who are staring at Jiu'er." ”
