After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xue Ping and several people gathered in Han Qi's mansion.

Although the courtyard of this building in the inner city is not large, although the sparrows are small, they are well-equipped and extremely exquisitely built. The inner city of Wuyi is such a big place, and being able to have such a big house here is a reflection of identity in itself.

Xue Ping himself owns such a building.

These houses were all built by Li Ze's order. And when these houses were completed, the emperor himself was still in Huguan and did not come.

Therefore, in Xue Ping's opinion, separating the emperor from the center of the imperial court was something that Li Ze had planned a long time ago, and he didn't even bother to cover it up, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain how these houses specially made for high-ranking officials and dignitaries could be built when there was still a ruin in Zhenzhou.

Wei Bin, the right attendant of the ministry, Zhong Hao in the imperial history looked at this house with great envy, which obviously took a lot of thought inside and out, don't look at them in a prominent official position, but in Wuyi, the inner city, there is no place to live. It's not that they have official positions, but it's because there are too many monks and few porridges, and there is no place to place them.

Now they can only rent houses in the outer city. Although the imperial court provided them with a certain rental subsidy, it was also a drop in the bucket for the expensive housing prices in Wuyi. The bigger problem is that they are not alone, but dozens of people of all sizes, and it costs a lot of money to settle down, because although the two of them are now in high positions and receive high salaries, their lives are tight.

"Xue Shangshu, I heard that the Ministry of Industry is building a batch of houses now?" Wei Bin, the right attendant of the ministry, looked at Xue Ping with blank eyes and asked.

Xue Ping nodded: "Yes, this is a batch of low-rent housing, which is aimed at those poor people in Wuyi who do not have their own houses, as long as the conditions are met, they can be rented, and a symbolic fee is charged, which can be regarded as a great good governance." ”

Wei Bin said with some dissatisfaction: "Li Xiang's good governance has even patronized these people, why don't you take care of people like us?" Xue Shangshu, can you think of a way to help us solve the problem! ”

"There are many people in Wuyi and there is little land, what can be done, take your time!" Xue Pingna had the heart to think about this, and said casually.

Wei Bin said with a smile: "Xue Shangshu, in fact, it is very simple, take out a batch of funds from the current batch of low-rent houses, get a piece of land, build some houses, you don't need to be as good as here, you can live in it, don't you say?" It's not that hard to do. ”

Xue Ping was shocked by him, and looked at Wei Bin for a long time before saying, "You, you actually think so?" ”

"I've heard that the scale of this project is still very large, involving hundreds of thousands of projects, and it is easy to come up with ideas from it. The houses on the left and right were built for the mud-legged people, and as long as they could shelter from the wind and rain, they were grateful, which saved a lot of money. Wei Bin said.

Xue Ping's face changed color slightly, and he shook his head for a long time before he shook his head and said: "Wei Bin, you have done things in Chang'an before, and you have seen a lot of such things, but in Wuyi, don't touch such things." ”

Wei Bin looked at Xue Ping with some embarrassment: "Xue Shangshu, don't get me wrong, when I was in the Shaofu Prison, I did do such a thing, but it was also ordered by the above, and the money I got was also used by the boss to do something else, and I definitely didn't fill my pocket." ”

"Chang'an has fallen, and it doesn't matter anymore." Xue Ping sighed: "You are quite capable, otherwise, I, Han Shangshu and the emperor would not try their best to get you out of Weizhou, do you know that there are people killing people every day now?" ”

Wei Bin stood up and bowed to Xue Ping and Han Qi: "Great grace for life, Wei Bin will never forget." ”

"You don't need to thank us, just be faithful to the king. What you just said, remember it in the future, don't even think about it. Xue Ping said: "You just came, and you are not very clear about the operation mode of Li Ze's subordinates, I have to say a few more words, now you are in the position of the right attendant of the ministry, holding heavy power, there are many people who want to go your way, if one is accidentally planted in, no one can save you." ”

"Xue Shangshu, please speak, listen to me." Wei Bin said.

"Take the one thing you just said, the cost of the cost, itself is strictly audited by the Ministry of Households, the money allocated is not rich, and after completion, it is necessary to be audited by the Ministry of Households to be considered to be able to really pay the difference, those who audit the Ministry of Households, one by one is more refined than a mouse, a slight difference, they will be troubled, a penny of mistakes, but also have to say a reason. Second, how can such a big thing be hidden? If, as you said, these houses are built, where does the money come from, where does the land come from? This doesn't need Li Xiang's spies to make a move, everyone can see the problem, this is the birthday star hanging, thinking that his life is long! Two months ago, Texas killed a group of people, just because of corruption, and there were three people in it, do you know where they came from? From the Secret Camp. You don't know who the secret camp is, that is the first group of people to follow Li Xiang, they are Li Xiang's real descendants, you don't know others, Li Yu, Li Hao, Li Han, Li Kang, Li Rui, Li De, you always know, right? Those three men were in a group with them, and they could be killed as soon as they were killed. ”

Wei Bin's face changed color slightly.

"What Li Xiang hates most is corruption, he is a poor messenger for lack of ability, and he can be tolerant, at most demoted, and transferred, but for such a person, he will really kill one when he finds one, and he won't blink an eyelid." Xue Ping said: "Gongshi, I also hate such people very much, and the good government is messed up by these people." ”

Wei Bin lowered his head with a red face.

"Wei Bin, while doing a good job as an envoy, you also have to seize the time to understand what the current imperial court is like, which is very different from the time of Chang'an." Xue Ping said: "Besides, I also want to advise you, your own family is only more than ten people, with your current salary, it is enough for them to live a decent life, as for those who are attached to your own family, they should be divided, and they will be divided." Li Xiang is extremely disgusted with the kind of people who call relatives and relatives to make a big family, and call them thieves, as a high-ranking official of the imperial court, you should pay more attention to this, don't let people grasp the handle, divide these people to find a way out, all of them have hands and feet, are you afraid that you won't be able to support yourself? ”

"These people have always lived dependent on me, and if they leave me, they are afraid of ......" Wei Bin was a little embarrassed.

"Joke, whoever is away can't live." Xue Ping snorted coldly: "Those families of yours are at least literate and literate, now that the government is in short supply of such manpower, where can't you find an errand?" You are the right attendant of the ministry, say hello and arrange such a job, no matter who it is, you still have to give face, right? ”

"But those are all clerks."

"Still want to be an official?" Xue Ping smiled: "If you want to be an official, why don't you go to the scientific examination?" Didn't you give a chance this time? They think that they are not capable enough to pass the exam, so do they expect you to make arrangements? Wei Bin, don't think about it, don't make this taboo! You are something we got in with great difficulty, and for this, we have paid a huge price, if you commit something stupid in the hands of Li Xiang, not only am I sorry for Han Shangshu and me, but I am also sorry for His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Wei Bin can save it."

"Your house problem, I will remember, your own few people, can still be solved, the others, forget it!" Xue Ping said: "As a right waiter, it's not a way for you to always live in the outer city. ”

"Thank you, Xue Shangshu."

Xue Ping was a little depressed, looked at Zhong Hao, the imperial historian on the side, and said, "Zhong Hao, I will ask Li Xiang for your affairs." ”

Zhong Hao smiled: "I don't care, there are only a few people in the family, and they can live anywhere." Xue Shangshu, Han Shangshu, there is one thing today, I originally thought that I could do it with my own ability and power, but when I heard Xue Shangshu say this, my heart was not only a little hairy. ”

"What's the matter?" Xue Ping asked.

Zhong Hao looked at Han Qi and said, "It's Hedong's business." ”

Han Qi sat up straight all of a sudden, and his expression became serious: "What happened in Hedong?" ”

"Yushitai received a secret report that there was corruption in the water conservancy project in the east of the river. In the secret report, not only the facts are listed, but the officials involved, and even the approximate number of corrupt people are listed, which does not look like a fake. Originally, I brought this secret to me, but when I heard Xue Shangshu say it, I was extremely uneasy. ”

"Who are the people involved?" Han Qi asked.

Zhong Hao said several names, Han Qi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he slammed his fist on the table beside him, and the teacups and teapots on the table jumped with a bang.

Xue Ping took a deep breath: "How much." ”

"Nearly 100,000 times!" Zhong Hao said.

Xue Ping's face suddenly turned pale.

"According to my previous experience in Chang'an, if such a thing is pressed down in my hands, no one else will ask about it, but when Xue Shangshu says this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it back. Please give you an idea about this matter. ”

"How long can you hold it?" Han Qi said.

"Three days." Zhong Hao said: "Three days later, there will be a meeting at the Yushitai, if I don't discuss this matter at this meeting, I'm afraid I'm going to fall into it." ”

"Han Shangshu, there is nothing to hesitate about, the strong man has broken his wrist! You will send someone back immediately tonight, and you must take care of this matter before the people from Yushitai arrive in Hedong, and those who can be picked out will be picked out, and those who can't be picked will be killed! The corrupt money must be recovered quickly, and only in this way can the Imperial Observatory be avoided from making a big move in Hedong, and you also know how ruthless Yang Kai is. Li Xiangzheng is thinking about how to rectify Hedong, and he must not stretch the handle over like this. ”

Han Qi stood up in a huodi: "You guys discuss it first, I'll come when I go." ”
