Chapter 772: To do good deeds is to run fast
Only then did everyone suddenly find out that Xing Anbo was not here, which shows how low Xu Mengxi's sense of existence is, Xu Mengxuan is almost a dumb person in the court, and he dozed off when he had a meeting.
But it is precisely because of this that no one in the court has offended Xu Mengxi, even if Xu Mengxi's grandson and daughter are so close to Guo Dan, the officials will not see it, as long as you Xu Mengxi is not biased towards Guo Dan.
"Does it matter?"
Wang Jiaping hurriedly asked.
The guard said: "It's not clear yet, but Your Majesty has sent the imperial doctor to help Xing Anbo diagnose." ”
Wang Jiaping nodded and said, "If there is any situation, come and tell us immediately." ”
"Obedience."
"Wait!"
Guo raised his hand lightly and said incredulously: "Shouldn't we rush over to take a look?" ”
Wang Xijue said: "We can't help much in the past. ”
Li Sancai also nodded and said, "Yes!" That's the right thing to do. ”
Wow! You're a bunch of cold-blooded animals! Fortunately, I'm not with you. Guo Dan nodded and continued to discuss with them.
Li Sancai and his team were not completely unacceptable to this contracting plan as a temporary one, and they even thought that they could use this to prompt everyone to make a unified proposal more quickly and formulate a perfect disaster relief system.
But how to hand over and how to contract, this has to be carefully discussed!
And Guo Dan's meaning is very simple, he is only responsible for the entire canal area, that is, the economic center of the Ming Dynasty, as for Liangguang, Fujian, Lingnan, Yunnan, Guichuan, these are currently the state capitals of remote areas, and he is not responsible.
In fact, most of those places are still vast and sparsely populated, even if they encounter natural disasters, they can still resist it with the geographical environment there, as long as the imperial court is exempt from taxes.
In addition, he asked himself to fill up all the reserve warehouses when he contracted, but only this time, and then he didn't have to worry about the imperial court.
But Li Sancai thinks that since you are contracting, it should be all emptied, not filled.
Guo Dan said that he would not be able to take out so much money to fill all the reserve warehouses for a while, and he did not have the ability, but the imperial court could fill all the reserve warehouses with this year's taxes.
Who has this responsibility?
The two sides engaged in fierce bargaining over this, and finally they reached a preliminary consensus, that is, the imperial court first filled the reserve warehouse for three years, and after three years, if the court took back the reserve warehouse, it must also be guaranteed to be full.
If the court takes it back within three years, then it is not needed, just follow the accounts.
In addition, there are many restrictions, mainly the number of natural disasters, and the size of the disaster, and the number of natural disasters in the past three years is lower than the number of natural disasters before the ordinance will take effect.
Of course, this is only a preliminary discussion, and they can't make full decisions about such a big matter.
When the discussion was almost over, news came from Xing'anbo's side that the situation was very bad.
Wang Jiaping and the others immediately rushed over.
"Please, save my grandfather! Please. ”
By the time they arrived at the wing where Xu Menghui was, there were already many people waiting there, even Xu Jirong and Zhu Yihua also rushed over, Xu Jirong, the bastard boy, was already crying so much, pulling the sleeve of a royal doctor, a handful of tears, a handful of snot and begging.
He has been dependent on Xu Mengxi since he was a child, and his feelings can be imagined.
Zhu Yihua hurriedly pulled Xu Jirong away and said, "Brother Rong, if you do this, it will delay the imperial doctor's treatment of your grandfather." ”
Guo Dan hurriedly walked over and said, "Little uncle." ”
"Faint!"
When Xu Jirong saw Guo Dan, he immediately rushed over and dragged Guo Dan, "Dan, you came just in time, let's go save my grandfather." ”
"Huh?"
Guo Dan's face was stunned, and said: "We are not gourd babies, oh no, we don't know medical skills!" ”
Xu Jirong said: "If you don't understand, it doesn't matter, as long as we join forces with the two fools in the capital, we will definitely not fail." ”
Wow! Is this kid crazy, this is your grandfather's fate, is it appropriate for you to play like this? Guo Dan squeezed out a smile and said: "What the little uncle said is true, now that our capital is standing here, the uncle will definitely have nothing to do." ”
He blushed a little as he spoke, and secretly glanced to the side, and found that Wang Jiaping and the others were not paying attention to themselves, but scattered and whispered to each other, and couldn't help but be stunned, but they quickly reacted.
This Taifu Temple can now be a very important financial department of the Ming Dynasty, but in the past ten years, Xu Mengxi has always been in charge, so once Xu Mengxu has three longs and two shorts, who will be in charge of the Taifu Temple in the future?
Guo Dan sweated slightly, isn't this a little big!
After a while, she saw a shadow hurrying into the courtyard, she raised her eyes and muttered to herself, "Daddy.....!" ”
It was Aunt Xu.
Xu Jirong immediately ran over, "Auntie, you're finally here, grandpa .....!" ”
When Aunt Xu saw Xu Jirong crying like this, her heart fell into the abyss, her body shook a few times, and she grabbed Xu Jirong's sleeve tightly, "Rong'er, daddy, ..... he?" ”
But he didn't dare to say it.
Guo Dan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't panic first, the imperial doctor is still treating, but... That doesn't seem to be a good situation. ”
Xu Jirong said: "Auntie, you know medical skills, you can save your grandfather quickly." ”
When Aunt Xu heard this, she immediately shook off Xu Jirong and walked into the house.
Xu Jirong also planned to follow, but Guo Dan grabbed him, "Little uncle, at this critical moment, we can't separate the two fools in the capital." ”
When Aunt Xu came to the door, she saw the imperial doctor coming out of the house, and she hurriedly asked, "Imperial doctor, how is my father's condition?" ”
The imperial doctor sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's not good! ”
Aunt Xu said excitedly: "It's just a fall, how can it be so serious." ”
"Alas... I don't know very much about that. The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "In the morning, Uncle's condition was relatively stable, but in the afternoon, Uncle suddenly fell into a coma and became delirious, and we have not yet found out the cause." ”
"It's impossible, I can't let Daddy have trouble."
Muttering a few words, Aunt Xu hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in, but when she came to the house, when she saw Xu Mengshu lying on the bed, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, her face was pale, her hair was a little scattered, and her lips were closed one by one, she couldn't help but stop, her eyes were full of fear.
"Daddy! Daddy! ”
She walked over step by step, tears dripping down like pearls from a broken thread, and the tears were full of remorse and horror.
Xu Mengxi suddenly opened his eyes slowly, and shouted angrily: "Feng... Feng'er. ”
Hearing Xu Meng's voice, Aunt Xu's tears fell faster, and she sobbed: "It's my daughter, daddy, don't be afraid, my daughter will definitely cure you." ”
As she spoke, she was going to help Xu Mengxi take the pulse.
As soon as this hand was stretched over, Xu Mengxuan suddenly held Aunt Xu's hand tightly.
"Daddy!"
Aunt Xu was startled, only to feel that Xu Mengxi's hand was cold, but this hand had just stretched out from the bedding, and her eyes couldn't help but show despair.
"No need!"
Xu Mengxi shook his head slightly, gasped and said, "Daddy is no longer good, but before leaving, I can still see you, and Daddy is satisfied." ”
"Daddy, no, my daughter will never let my father have anything to do."
Aunt Xu knelt beside the bed, unable to cry and trembling all over.
"Feng'er, Daddy is sorry for you!"
The corners of Xu Mengxi's eyes suddenly glistened with tears: "When I was a child, my father favored your brother, and then I threw my heart on Rong'er, from beginning to end, my father ignored your feelings.....!" ”
"No, Daddy, no."
Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "It's a daughter... It's the daughter who is not angry and disappoints the father, although the daughter always wants to make the father happy, make the father proud of his daughter, and let the father no longer be disappointed, but every time, every time the daughter disappoints the father, and the daughter doesn't know why it is like this.
My daughter didn't come home, not because she remembered her father, but because she was afraid... I'm afraid of disappointing you again, and my daughter is really afraid of seeing Daddy's disappointed eyes again. The daughter is sorry for her father's ....... ”
The more she spoke, the more excited and remorseful she became, and she slammed her head on the edge of the bed.
If Xu Mengxi leaves, she really can't accept it, she has been working hard for Xu Mengxi all her life, including her willingness to help Guo Dan, in fact, it was because she knew from Xu Mao that Xu Mengxi recruited Guo Dan and it was Xu Jirong, so she still wanted to achieve Xu Mengxi's wish.
And that day, Guo Dan's sentence "Uncle is old" made her confused, she has been worrying about this matter these days, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
Xu Mengxi was also remorseful in her heart, she finally understood that her daughter had been strong since she was a child, not to suppress her brother, but to get his recognition and praise, and the reason was because he did not hide his emotions in front of his daughter, when he hugged his daughter, he often sighed, and even said directly, if you are a boy, how good it would be.
Every time he criticizes his daughter and defends his son.
The more he did this, the more Aunt Xu felt that she was not good enough.
led to this tragedy.
He didn't expect that Aunt Xu's temperament was so strong, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly sat up and said, "Feng'er, you don't want to hurt yourself." ”
Aunt Xu raised her head, looked at Xu Mengxi blankly, and said in astonishment: "Daddy, you .....!" ”
Oops! Not good! Exposed! Xu Mengxi blinked, not knowing what to do.
Aunt Xu suddenly found that there was a copper ball in the futon, with some water droplets on it, she reached out and touched it, a trace of chill made her a little unexpected, but at the same time she also reacted, no wonder Xu Mengxi's hands were so cold, it turned out that he had been holding this copper ball with ice cubes.
"Daddy!"
Aunt Xu suddenly stood up and said angrily, "You lied to me." ”
Xu Mengxi hurriedly said: "Daughter, this is not about daddy, it's all, yes, this is all Guo Dan's idea, it's all because that kid came up with this bad idea." ”
"That bastard, I'm going to settle accounts with him."
Aunt Xu was so angry that she wanted to go to Guo Dan.
Xu Mengxuan hurriedly shouted, "Feng'er." ”
Aunt Xu stood up, turned her head slightly, and looked at Xu Mengxi.
Xu Mengxuan snorted a few times and sighed: "Actually, Guo Dan did this for the good of our father and daughter, if all this is true, then Daddy will really hate Jiuquan, it was Daddy who hurt you!" ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but cry too.
Outside.
"Why did you go to this thatched house for so long!"
Xu Jirong stood at the door, with tears still on his face, looking anxiously left and right.
The double foolishness of the capital is indispensable!
