Zhang Yuan felt that this time was almost over, so he looked at Wei Qing.

Seeing that Wei Qing also nodded, Zhang Yuan immediately came out of the queue.

Liu Che didn't expect Zhang Yuan to also come to the court meeting, and he looked a little surprised.

Although the embroidered messengers mastered Zhang Yuan's whereabouts, they did not even have to inform Liu Che of Zhang Yuan's last dynasty.

"The minister couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he donated one million dollars and 100,000 stone grains."

Wei Qing followed closely, and without waiting for Liu Che to praise Zhang Yuan, he also said out loud.

"The minister's family is in a difficult situation and can't be like Taixue Ling, but he is willing to do his best.

Therefore, he donated 500,000 yuan and 100,000 stone grain. ”

One stone of grain was originally almost more than 100 yuan in Chang'an, but now it has tripled, which is 300 yuan.

100,000 stone of grain, which is 30 million yuan, and there are many nobles who can come up with 30 million yuan, but Wei Qing is definitely bankrupt this time.

Zhang Yuan also spent almost one-third of his family's money on food.

It's not painful, but it's not comfortable.

Zhang Yuan can also see that money is not brought to life or death, even if Zhang Mansion does not have a penny, those thousands of acres of land can make hundreds of people worry-free in their lives.

The faces of the ministers in the court were ugly, and they didn't ridicule Dou Ying for being stingy in their hearts.

Although Dou Ying didn't have any face on his face now, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

This is because Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing raised the threshold for donation, and the increase was more than a little bit higher, which was 300 times higher.

Dou Ying is comfortable now, lost face, and kept the money and food.

Not to mention whether the faces of the princes and nobles in the back can be saved, this money and grain really can't be saved.

"Your Majesty, Cao Xiang, the prince of Pingyang, asks to enter the palace."

Cao Xiang is the son of Pingyang Marquis Cao Shi and Princess Pingyang, and now he is only a little more than ten years old, so he has nothing to do to run to Jianzhang Palace.

Liu Che is Cao Xiang's uncle, and he also loves this nephew very much on weekdays.

I heard that Cao Xiang was weak and sickly, no matter who he was, he didn't want to provoke this Pingyang Hou Shizi, for fear of accidentally killing him.

"Xiang'er is here? Let him in. ”

Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing looked back at the outside of the hall in unison, the two of them knew about this matter, but Zhang Yuan was still a little curious about Cao Xiang.

Pingyang Hou has always been weak and sickly, and I don't know if it is caused by the marriage of close relatives or what the reason is.

Zhang Yuan felt that one of the reasons why the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty were not as good as the next generation was that they married close relatives like those kings in Europe.

Take Pingyang Hou as an example, he married a princess from generation to generation, and then the son born by the princess must also be the heir of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and the bloodline is closer to Liu Bang's bloodline than Liu Che, the emperor.

Everyone in the court didn't take this Pingyang Hou Shizi seriously, and only Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing turned back.

The front hall of Jianzhang Palace is facing the rising sun, and a small figure gradually walks into the hall, at first because of the backlight, Zhang Yuan can't see the face of the little marquis clearly, and only after getting closer can he see the whole picture clearly.

The yellow face is like jaundice, but the abdomen is very swollen.

Zhang Yuan looked at it, and it didn't seem like he had inherited some invisible disease, but felt like stomach bloating.

But at this time, Zhang Yuan definitely wouldn't jump out and say that you might have any disease, so he withdrew his gaze and waited for Liu Che to ask.

"Xiang'er is frail, why didn't she stay at home, but came to Jianzhang Palace?"

Cao Xiang directly ignored the current environment, and shouted to Liu Che affectionately with the surrounding ministers.

"Uncle, my father knew that Dongjun was affected, so he ordered Xiang'er to mobilize the money and food in the clan.

Donated tens of millions of money and 500,000 stone of grain to the people of the 16 eastern counties. ”

Because the number was huge, everyone subconsciously ignored Cao Xiang's fault for not calling Liu Che His Majesty at the court meeting.

Although Zhang Yuan knew that Cao Xiang was sent by Princess Pingyang to donate money and food, he didn't expect that his hand would be so big.

In fact, Zhang Yuan can donate so much if he wants to, but he will have to drink the northwest wind in the next year.

Pingyang Hou's Mansion is really rich, looking at Wei Qing's calm appearance, so much money and food is not a big deal for Pingyang Hou at all.

It's not Zhang Yuantu's buns, and the jaw-dropping people in the hall occupy most of them.

The Cao family is the most powerful family in the Han Dynasty except for the Liu family, and the royal family is the richest in the world, which goes without saying, but the second one must be the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Otherwise, with these frail and sickly heads of the Cao family, one by one they also want to marry the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Xiang seems to be marrying Liu Che's first daughter in the future, which is a kind of control and a kind of co-optation.

"Okay, well, really worthy of being my nephew.

Is it possible that the princes are still watching from the wall? A child can have such courage, and you are still cowering there. ”

Everyone knows in their hearts that this is definitely what Princess Pingyang meant.

Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing are both in the same vein as Princess Pingyang, why did Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing just donate money and food on the front foot, and before they could give everyone the kung fu to shake their minds, Cao Xiang came.

At the beginning, the 100,000 stone of grain, everyone gritted their teeth and couldn't take it out, but now 500,000 stones, what to take? Take your life to fill in?

It's okay to take it out, some people have nothing to do when they take it out, such as Pingyang Hou and Tian Wei, Liu Che knows that they have money.

But those who seem to be a dime a dime on weekdays, and they themselves pretend to be poor, suddenly take out so much money and food, just a word, take it out is a death.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter cannot be done.

It is better to solve the problem of the breach of the Yellow River as soon as possible, so that the people can resume production.

There are also Xiongnu in the north, who are ready to go south at any time to take advantage of the fire and rob, and the money in the treasury cannot be spent on relief for the victims.

One year is good to say, if it is two years, three years, four years and five years, the Yellow River is still flooding, and the Xiongnu attack the border again, then the dynasty will not be able to come up with excess money and grain for the Northern Expedition. ”

Sure enough, someone still couldn't bear the pressure and jumped out, and Zhang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

waited for a long time before it came out, as long as the wind direction of public opinion is formed in the court, maybe it can really make Liu Che change his mind.

The person who said these words was ordered by the court commander, and it is easy to say that others can give money and food donations, but he must not take them.

To sit in this position you must be poor, or you will definitely be dead.

Thinking of this, this person stood up under such a lot of pressure, and he might die if he disobeyed Liu Che, but he could also leave a reputation as a direct minister.

Liu Che saw that the mountains did not turn around, and then turned back to this topic that he thought should be over, and his mood turned from sunny to cloudy.

"Are there any other people like Ting Wei Yin thought?"

Liu Che slowed down his tone, and asked this sentence as if he was harmless to humans and animals, and sure enough, a bunch of people stood up and asked to find a new way to solve the flood.
