Chapter 128: Deliberations in the Mansion

"Investigating the people's feelings, I really can't see that the prince loves the people so much. The Ministry of Workers snorted coldly.

"Now that the prince is back, let's talk about business first. The Tobe waiter peeked at Wei Jingyao's face and hurriedly played the round.

This Lord Dong is usually in the officialdom, and he doesn't care about it, but now in front of the King of Chu, he is still so presumptuous.

"Now that we have arrived at the king's mansion, you might as well tell me if you have any difficulties, so that we can discuss a solution together. ”

Wei Jingyao's face was full of smiles, and he didn't look half angry.

The bad temper of the Ministry of Works, he didn't know about it on the first day, so how could he care about these quarrels.

"Since this is the case, then the lower official will say it directly, presumably the prince also knows that the matter of controlling the floods a few days ago was handled by the abolished prince.

His Royal Highness King Qi has always spent money lavishly, and in just a few days, he has taken out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and now the household department can't take out much silver, this Lord Shen has been aggressive, and the lower officials are really ....... ”

"Hmph, after saying that the problem is solved, why did Lord Shen sue first?" the Ministry of Works squire blew his beard angrily.

"Where is this a complaint, what the lower official said is the truth, but if there is still silver in the treasury, how can the official hide it and not give it?"

"According to Lord Shen, you are planning to be a scoundrel, how can you rebuild houses for the victims if you can't get the money, and now that it's late autumn, isn't it possible that you plan to let the victims spend the winter outside?"

Watching them come and go, arguing endlessly, I, Wei Jingyao, always understood what the housekeeper felt just now at this time.

These two people didn't deal with each other in the first place, but now for the sake of disaster relief, they are even more regarded as fire and water, and letting them sit in a room is simply a disaster.

"Now that the disaster is serious, the emperor has decreed to exempt taxes, and if there is no tax, it will be taken out to control the water, where do you say this silver comes from!"

The head of the household is also troubled, this is obviously a matter that has not been solved in the court, and now it has caused his own responsibility.

"Lord Shen doesn't have to cry poor, I can't tell you that this is the dereliction of duty of your household servant, you don't need to tell this official, what this official wants is just a result. "The squire of the Ministry of Works has a tough attitude.

It's no wonder that he doesn't have a good face for Lord Shen, when there are no disasters and harmless on weekdays, the household is more moisturized than the other.

But now that it's time for disaster relief, I can't get a penny, can this money still grow wings and fly?

"Master Dong, you're trying to force me to death. The Tobe waiter trembled angrily, and his face was shaking up and down.

"The two adults are calm for a while, this king said, I hope that the two adults will talk about the difficulties, and we will solve them together, so it is useless to quarrel like this. ”

Wei Jingyao looked humble and gentle.

"What's the use of saying it, could it be that the prince has already thought of a countermeasure, if not, don't waste time here. The Ministry of Labor shook his sleeves and turned his head.

Wei Jingyao let out a breath and tried his best to maintain the smile on his face.

"There is only one problem facing the household department now, and that is money, and there are two sources of spending, one is charity, and the other is reconstruction. Wei Jingyao brushed his thoughts.

"I don't know if what this king said is right. ”

"Not bad. Although he didn't know what Wei Jingyao wanted to express, he nodded in agreement.

"There are two problems faced by the Ministry of Works, one is money and the other is people, and there is only one purpose to be achieved, and that is to rebuild the houses. Wei Jingyao continued.

"We know these things better than you, so why should the prince mention them again. The squire frowned, a little impatient.

"Don't worry, Lord Dong, after listening to this king's words, the two adults are in different official positions, so when they face different problems, they ignore the commonalities between them. ”

Wei Jingyao suddenly understood why his father was so angry every time he withdrew from the court, and it was really not good to be choked in front of him.

"Everyone is doing one thing, and now it is indeed a little difficult to divide it and hand it over to the two adults. ”

"If the prince has something to say, everyone is a smart person, so don't sell it here. "The squire of the Ministry of Works really doesn't like the gentle appearance of the King of Chu.

In fact, Wei Jingyao didn't want to talk so much nonsense, originally he wanted to make this matter clear and guide them to say it.

In this way, the disaster relief strategy is only thought up by everyone, rather than listening to their own family.

But one of the two of them couldn't listen, and the other didn't know whether to listen or not, it was really hard, there was no way, Wei Jingyao had to speak by himself.

"Since it is a thing, we will treat it as a thing, and the reconstruction of the disaster area needs money and manpower, so we might as well use all the money for soup soup for the disaster victims for reconstruction. ”

"This is the prince's good idea?"

"If that's the case, what about the people who are all over the streets? They don't care about the time, it will inevitably lead to riots. ”

The Ministry of Work and the Tobe Servant looked at each other, and this time, it was rare for the two of them to talk together.

"If it can cause a riot, it means that they are idle, and in this case, we will find something for them to do, so that they don't have this leisure. ”

"What does the prince mean by this, they can't eat enough every day, how can they be willing to do things?"

"Since we need people to rebuild the affected areas, we can choose from the people who are strong and healthy to be the strong men. Wei Jingyao said bluntly.

"This not only has a workforce, but also reduces the number of victims. For the rest of the elderly, weak women and children, the rice porridge distributed by the state capitals was enough for them to survive. ”

"There is nowhere to settle the people on this street, so it is better to use them than to stretch out their hands and beg on the side of the street. The Ministry of Work nodded approvingly.

"With enough manpower, the project can progress faster, and maybe we can feel that the construction will be completed before winter. ”

Half a month ago, the emperor had already ordered to requisition grain from other provinces, and it was believed that the grain would arrive in the capital within half a month.

As long as you can survive this winter, wait until the spring of next year, and everything will be planted, it will be easy to say.

The waiter of the Ministry of Works half-squinted, and looked at Wei Jingyao with many different things in his eyes.

originally thought that he was just a useless idle prince who only knew how to have fun, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

The crown prince was deposed, King Xuan has always been favored, and he is the most promising person to become the prince, and now the emperor has handed over this important task to the king of Chu, maybe it will have a special meaning.

"Lord Wang's idea is really good, just now it was abrupt. ”
