After Li Gui finished speaking, he turned his head and went to the stable, and after a while, he led a horse out of the stable. Rode straight to the palace.

Jin Chu'er saw that Li Gui had left, so she was relieved. Then he hurriedly went back to report to Mrs. Wang.

Li Gui didn't dare to delay and came to the gate of the palace, and was immediately stopped by the forbidden army, which was the place where he could ride a horse.

Li Gui also knew that the rules here were strict, and he didn't dare to resist a little, so he took out a certain amount of silver from his arms and put it in the hands of the forbidden army after dismounting, and then kept saying "This military master, I am from Rongguo Mansion." If you have something urgent to see our uncle, please inform me. ”

When the forbidden soldier heard the seriousness on Jia Ke's face, he immediately relaxed. You must know that Jia Ke is their top boss, how dare he offend a small soldier?

"Brother, you wait here for a while, I'll go in and give you a briefing, and let the eunuch on duty inside go to the military aircraft to say hello to you."

When Li Gui heard that this person was so easy to speak, his heart also relaxed. But he also knows the sophistication of people, so he took out a certain amount of silver from his arms, which was his last private money, and then handed it to the soldier with a painful face, which he had saved with great difficulty, which was also Jia Baoyu's generosity, and he had always been extraordinary to their subordinates, otherwise where would he have so many silver taels.

After Li Gui gave the silver to the soldier, he said: "When I go inside and talk to my father-in-law, please help me give this set of silver to my father-in-law as an errand fee, I am grateful here." ”

The forbidden soldier looked at Li Gui and couldn't help but nodded, sure enough, it was from a big family, and he knew how these people were sophisticated, if he didn't send money to the eunuch inside, that person didn't know when he would be able to hand him the words.

At this time, Jia Ke was dealing with the report of the flood in the Lianghuai area during this period in the Military Aircraft Department, and although he had now sent ministers to suppress some corrupt officials in various places, the situation was still not very optimistic.

Jia Ke's main task now is to be busy transferring grain and grass from all over the country to the disaster area. However, due to the grain storage roads in various localities, corruption is too serious, and there is not much grain left.

Now the five or six million quintals of grain in the capital still have to support the drought in Shaanxi, and their emperor is a dime a dime, and he has so much silver in his stock, he just doesn't take it out. Therefore, the food is really a headache for Jia Ke.

Jia Ke was discussing with these people in the Military Aircraft Department where they could open up sources and reduce expenditures, scrape together some silver taels, and then buy a batch of grain from Jiangnan to meet the needs of the time.

"Lord Jia, the money everywhere is tight this year, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult for all departments to make it together." Although Liu Yu is the emperor's confidant and has always been against Jia Ke, he really did not cause any trouble to Jia Ke in this matter, but actively helped.

Jia Ke glared and said, "This year's food and salary in various places is indeed insufficient, where did the money go?" Everyone should have a number in mind by now. ”

Jia Ke is still angry when he talks about this. The emperor is also obviously greedy for 3 million taels of silver, and now at the critical moment, you are in order to gain a good reputation, and you will return the 3 million taels of silver to the household in the name of the inner treasury. This also solves everyone's dilemma.

How did I think that this emperor was so unstoppable that he hadn't spit out the silver at this critical moment.

When Liu Yu heard Jia Ke's words, he felt a wave of anger in his heart, but in this matter, he couldn't say anything. After all, this matter was indeed something the emperor did wrong.

But Liu Yu couldn't let Jia Ke do it, it was the emperor who did it. So he said: "This year's Cao Yun is indeed a little inauthentic. So many taels of silver turned over overnight, and it was said that it could not be salvaged to pay silver. That's a bit too much to say. And hasn't the emperor already allocated 1 million taels of silver from the inner treasury? The emperor has done his best. ”

Jia Ke didn't talk nonsense with him about this matter, but said directly: "Let's not talk about those distant things, just talk about now." There is neither silver nor food, so do you have to wait for the world to be in turmoil? ”

Liu Yu had nothing to say now, but Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and said, "I said that I have a doorway to get money." It's just that some of them violate the laws of the imperial court, and it's hard to say. ”

As soon as Jia Ke heard that he had a way, he didn't care about anything else, "Say, when is it, let's discuss what to say." ”

Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, hesitated a little on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "There is another way is to atone for the sin, now there are many children of rich families who have broken the law, and some even have to be sentenced to beheading, these people are willing to pay any amount for the lives of their children." ”

After Sun Yan said this, he sat there silently, as the saying goes, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If this method is really practiced, and the rich can get away with the money, then isn't the world in chaos?

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he categorically denied it: "This method is absolutely impossible, the criminal law is the last guarantee in the world, and it is also the last fairness in the world." If there is injustice even in this place, then what reason do the common people have? Now, with this method, it seems that he has obtained silver money and can rob the people in the disaster relief area. But once this method is implemented, it will be a disaster for ten thousand years, and from now on, the court will have no peace. ”

Liu Yu is now completely on Jia Ke's side, he knows the harm of this method to the imperial court, "Lord Jia is right, this is the root of the imperial court. Don't say that again. ”

If Liu Yu hadn't seen Sun Yan and the emperor, he would have been guilty of disturbing the dynasty in front of the emperor.

Sun Yan said this to the two of them, and accepted it humbly on the surface. But he had his own thoughts in his heart, this time he had to hand this method to the emperor no matter what, and let the emperor personally order the world to implement it, which was his task this time.

And Lao Meng Ming turned a blind eye to their argument on the side, holding an idle book and shaking his head there. Now Lao Meng Ming understands that he has offended people all his life, and he has only been where he is today when he is old and has occupied the team once. Now that he has reached the peak of his life, there is no need to really live with them anymore, and now the world still depends on young people.

Jia Ke finally came up with a solution, "Aren't there donors in all of us now?" In the end, the silver sent by these people was not all cheap, and those corrupt officials and corrupt officials were very few in the end. Why don't we change a charter, and in the future, the imperial court will not donate money, but donate grain, and then send it to the grain storage road to be disaster relief in various places. ”

Liu Yu thought it was very interesting when he heard this method, so that he could at least survive this period of time, and the grain in the grain storage road would be more abundant.

"Master Jia's method is good, I think it is feasible, why don't we go to the fold together, report to the emperor first, and see what the old man means." Liu Yu said excitedly that if Jia Ke's method can work, then the two disasters this year will be regarded as the past.

Sun Yan said disappreciatively: "Master Jia's method looks good, but in my opinion, it is just a flash in the pan." ”

Liu Yu heard Sun Yan splash cold water again, and finally couldn't help it, "Master Sun, what are you talking about?" What's wrong with Master Jia's method? You make it clear to me. ”

Sun Yan picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip slowly, and then said, "How much grain do you think there is in the world?" The rich and rich, though they have some grain, if they are converted into two pieces of silver. Those rich people in the south of the Yangtze River are willing, have you thought about those people on both sides of the Yellow River? Those people are still not making a fuss. ”

Liu Yu immediately understood what he meant, there is a lot of difference in the price of grain in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and it is very beneficial for Jiangnan to exchange silver for grain, but for those gentry in Jiangbei, it is a lot more expenses. In this way, where can these people be capable?

Moreover, doing so will make the contradiction between the north and the south even more acute, because the south is already full of people and has a comfortable life. Therefore, there are many more people reading books than in the north, and the atmosphere of reading in the south is greater than that in the north.

As a result, the results of each meeting and the visit were more than two-thirds of the people from the south, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the northerners.

If this policy is introduced now, then it is obvious that the southerners will take advantage, and the northerners will even fall behind in the opportunity to donate officials, and they will be taken advantage of by the southerners, and I am afraid that the imperial court will lose the hearts of the northern gentry at that time.

And in terms of resisting the northern Tatars, it is still necessary to rely on these fierce northerners, if the northerners pick together, I am afraid that in the end the court will not be able to clean up.

Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Lord Jia, your suggestion is still a little inconsiderate, let's think of another way." ”

Jia Ke still has a way to solve the problem of whether to donate silver or grain to the north and south. As long as they are allowed to take care of themselves, those who are willing to donate food donate food, and those who are willing to donate silver will donate silver, and the matter will be solved. But Jia Ke thought about it and swallowed the words back. The most difficult thing now should be what the emperor himself is anxious about, and the world is not his own now.

Sun Yan saw that Jia Ke was silent, and immediately said: "Now that the matter is urgent, I think my method is still feasible, so it is better to go ahead for a few months." It is not too late to abolish it next year. This will at least allow the imperial court to tide over this year's difficulties. ”

Although Liu Yu didn't want to admit it, Sun Yan's method was indeed the best solution he could think of.

Liu Yu then arched his hand and said to Jia Ke: "Lord Jia, why don't we write Sun Yan's method into an excerpt for the emperor to see." ”

Jia Ke said expressionlessly: "I don't care about this matter, you write the excerpt yourself and hand it to the emperor yourself, I don't see it." ”

Jia Ke didn't want to get involved in this, this was a big scandal. If you make a note in the history books, you won't be able to turn over in a few lifetimes.
