Chapter 10 Waterlogging 2
Inside the Imperial Study
There were six or seven ministers in court clothes kneeling on the ground, and the man in the nine-clawed dragon robe behind the desk was not angry and arrogant.
"Come, Prince, King Qin, Shen Aiqing, Xi Aiqing, Jiang Aiqing, Li Aiqing, a few of you, but tell me, refugees are pouring into the capital in large numbers, and they can enter Beijing in two days at most, and the four of you will come to tell me, how should these refugees be settled?"
"It's... The minister thought that he could build a temporary shelter outside the city, and ordered the household department to open a warehouse to treat the refugees. Gongbu Shangshu frowned and said.
"Erchen thought that he could make all the wealthy families and wealthy families in the capital work together to deal with the disaster, or that each family would take in a few refugees." Duan Yuyan stepped forward and said.
"Fighting disasters together? Pay or pay? The minister thought that the attention of the king of Qin was not feasible. The official secretary said in a deep voice.
Most people, let alone merchants, are reluctant to ask officials to provide food or take in refugees.
"Erchen thinks Master Li's method is feasible." Duan Yongxi said silently.
The emperor looked around, "Then use Li Aiqing's method to do it, and Xi Aiqing's side must also fully cooperate, so let's step down." ”
"(Son) the ministers obey the order, long live the emperor, long live long live."
Two days later
"Open the door... Let us in! ”
"We are from Jiangnan, we want to sue the emperor!"
"Let's get in!"
A large number of refugees were congested outside the city gate, and the defenders of the capital had to close the city gate to prevent the refugees from flooding in and causing a catastrophe.
The man in a light golden brocade robe walked up to the city wall, "Everyone be quiet, the emperor has ordered the construction of a temporary shelter outside the city, and also opened the treasury to release grain, you might as well eat something and rest first." Duan Yongxi frowned and said loudly.
"We want to see the emperor!"
"Yes, we're going to sue the Emperor!"
"How do we know if what you're saying is true?"
"Everyone be quiet, this king is the crown prince of the dynasty, speaking is naturally counted, you have suffered along the way, it is better to rest first and then come!"
"Prince... Then we will believe in the prince once. Brothers, let's go eat and drink to our heart's content, and then talk about anything else! ”
"Brothers, go!"
The news of the large number of refugees gathering quickly spread, and Shen Qingwan also got the news, "Xunhan will go with me to see my father first, and we will go outside the city tomorrow." ”
"Yes, miss."
Walking on the way to the front yard, Shen Qingwan quickly organized the language, although I don't know what method Shen Yijia used to persuade her father in her previous life, but if she was in that position, it would probably be much worse.
"Sixth Miss, please wait a moment and let your subordinates report it."
Shen Qingwan smiled faintly, "Okay." ”
The guard turned around, and he didn't know how Miss Six, such a gentle and lovely girl, was rumored to be so unbearable, and it could only be Aunt Liu's handwriting, but there was no way, he was just a small guard, and the whole family was raised by himself, otherwise he would definitely stand up and clarify for Miss Six...
After a while, the guard came out, "Miss Six, please." ”
"Thank you." Shen Qingwan smiled and nodded, bringing out the professional smile he had practiced in his previous life, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
Lift the curtain, "Father." Shen Qingwan called softly.
"I don't come here on weekdays, but what kind of wind is blowing today." There was a smile on the corner of Shen Cheng's mouth, if he let people see it, he would definitely think that the relationship between father and daughter was very good, but no one knew that it was just a scene on the surface.
Shen Qingwan smiled even sweeter, "Why is the father making fun of his daughter like this, the daughter must have something to ask her father for consent when she comes today." ”
"Oh? Tell me what's going on. Shen Cheng frowned, his daughter has become more and more indifferent since the death of his wife two years ago, and she is not close to her father, so suddenly, she has a few looks like a wife when she was young, although he is more of a use of that cold woman, but it is undeniable that he has really loved, but every time he sees her, he feels guilty and unworthy, so he slowly fades, and he neglects to pay attention to this only daughter, and now I see that she has really grown up.
Shen Qingwan took the initiative to step forward and stand sideways in front of the desk, "Father, my daughter heard that today's refugees from the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River have flocked to the vicinity of the capital in large numbers, and the emperor is also very concerned about this matter, and my daughter heard Aunt Liu's wife mention that you have recently... The daughter thinks this is a good opportunity, if the father does not hesitate to lower his status in this flood and personally go to the city to make porridge, the emperor loves the people like a son, and will definitely look at you differently... Of course, you don't have to work too hard, as long as you work hard at the soup kitchen to be seen, and then ask someone to pass it on properly......"
"It's a good idea, I have a heart for later, and I have helped my father so much, do you have anything you want? Speak up and satisfy you for the Father. Shen Cheng said with a smile, it seems that he really looked down on this daughter who is not visible on weekdays.
"Daughter... Daughter... My daughter wants to make a beautiful dress, won't it be the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in a few days, and my daughter heard that His Royal Highness King Qin will also go... My daughter just wanted to ......" Shen Qingwan looked shy and embarrassed, lowered her head slightly, and her eyes were cold.
Shen Cheng laughed even louder when he heard this, "It's good if you like it later, in this way, you can take the token of your father and go to the mansion to withdraw money, and it doesn't matter where you want to go for your father in the next two or three days." ”
"Thank you, father." Shen Qingwan exclaimed a little "excited", she, the father, was really on the road at a critical time.
Shen Cheng straightened his face, "This matter is for my father, so you can step back first." ”
"Yes." Shen Qing retreated with a smile in her eyes, and she was relieved.
