Chapter 236
Along the way, Yu Xinwu's heart has always been surging, and he can't calm down and enter the Shidian Hanlin for a few years, so he took on this heavy responsibility, and took Mencius's king as the guideline for his life. Chen Yubi's reuse finally gave him a chance to display his ambitions, but in fact, in the court, he was not favored by the clear stream of Xinxue, and his trip was criticized for his reputation. The national policy of changing rice to mulberry must be implemented, and the people affected by the disaster must be appeased, and even Qian Ning, who has always been capable and shrewd, is at a loss. There is really no bottom in my heart! Even if the national policy is implemented this time, if it provokes a popular uprising, even if it is suppressed, how will the government and the opposition view themselves? But the kind of hardship in the Hanlin Academy is too difficult, although he has always studied and does not care about the world, he can learn literature and martial arts, and sell the goods to the emperor's family, originally for the sake of display, as long as he breaks free from the water and fire, he will survive to the end. Therefore, he urged all the way non-stop, day and night.
After all, people's energy and endurance are limited, let alone horses, and the leading soldier reported that when he arrived at the next station, he had to rest for the night, so that the horses could also have a chance to rest. Yu Xinwu thought about it, he had traveled so far, the big guy didn't say anything, and he must have been extremely tired in his heart, so he nodded.
The four horses in front of them stopped as soon as they entered the gate of the post station, this is a county post, it is not big, but there are already more than a dozen horses scattered inside, some soldiers and officials are feeding the horses with water and materials to brush their fur, so there is no open space. Yu Xinwu's horse team could only wait outside.
"What's going on?" Yu Xinwu was a little anxious in his heart, so he motioned to his entourage to ask, and the sergeant with the four horses in front shook his head helplessly, letting him see the situation inside. The attendant was also stunned, and there was no empty space.
"From Beijing, who of you will pick up the station?" Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, the entourage had no choice but to ask loudly.
But these soldiers and servants didn't seem to see anyone, and none of them paid attention to him, and the entourage asked loudly again, but no one paid attention to him. Yu Xinwu got out of the carriage suspiciously, and was also startled when he looked at this scene. I saw a post man covered in straw come out of the stable, and said with a bitter face: "I've seen my lord." ”
"We are from Beijing, and we are about to go to Hangzhou to take up our duties, how can you do it, why is there no one to pick up the station?!" The attendant was a little angry and shouted at the guard.
“…… Your Excellency, you have also seen that we have no feed for the horses in front, no, even our rations have been taken out......" The postman was about to cry, and kept moving.
Yu Xinwu and his entourage suddenly looked at the manger on the ground in the yard, and there were indeed soybeans and millet, but there were not many, and those horses were rushing to chew and eat.
"Their horses can eat soybeans and millet, but our horses can't go hungry! What about you? Call him out! "The entourage is becoming more and more aggrieved in his heart, we are also from the capital anyway, why do they have horse material, but we don't?
“…… My lord, you might as well go and discuss with them if you can give some information, hey! Usually there is no one, and today I don't know what's wrong, where did so many horse teams come from......" The post soldier's face turned bitter melon color, wiped the ash on his face with his hand, and pointed to the soldiers.
"Whose horse team are they?" Yu Xinwu pressed the entourage who was about to go crazy and asked.
"Who knows? It looks bigger than the second grade! The cunning in the pawn's eyes flashed. It's hard to come from Beijing? This is not a Jingshi, you people are used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, and you still want to walk sideways in Daming?
The entourage was stunned, and whispered to Xinwudao: "I'm afraid it's Qian Ning's horse team." ”
"Let's go!" It was too embarrassing to meet Qian Ning at this time. Yu Xinwu heard that his predecessor who was beheaded was still a student with high hopes for Qian Ning. It's not too late to meet again in Hangzhou.
"Excuse me, but is it Lord Yufutai?" Suddenly, a voice came, and out of the room came a person who looked like him.
"Yes, what's the matter with you?" What Yu Xinwu was afraid of was to meet the other party, but since the other party asked, it was inappropriate for him not to answer, so he had to turn around again.
"It's been a while since we were adults, Lord Yu, please here?" Saying that, the kiss made a gesture to lead the way.
Yu Xinwu hesitated, after all, Qian Ning was still his direct boss, and now he came to invite him openly, and it was not appropriate not to go, so he had to go in with his relatives.
Yu Xinwu stopped as soon as he entered the door, and his eyes fell on the thin back of the chair.
"My lord, Lord Yu is here." He whispered in his ear, then gently stepped back and closed the door.
"Sit down!" The figure still didn't turn around, but pointed to the stool on the side. Yu Xinwu took a few steps forward, but he didn't sit down, he was still wondering in his heart, what did Qian Ning mean?
Qian Ning got up from the chair, turned around, picked up the cup on the table and drank it to himself, and after drinking the water, he slowly spoke: "Let you sit down, no need to be restrained." ”
"Excuse me, but Lord Qian Ningqian?" Yu Xinwu asked tentatively.
"Contemptible people are." Channing turned his chair in a different direction and sat down weakly. Yu Xinwu could see that Qian Ning was obviously old, and his expression was exhausted, and his body was weak as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
"Jiuyang, my subordinate is the new Hangzhou prefect Yu Xinwu, and I have seen my lord." Yu Xinwu hurriedly swept to the end. During this time, Qian Ning's name had a mixed reputation in Beijing, and there was no way, as a student of Chen Yubi, he could openly turn against the teacher, and not everyone could do this. But after all, he is his direct boss, and there are still many opportunities to deal with him in the future.
"Sit down!" Qian Ning smiled reluctantly, and Yu Xinwu had no choice but to walk to the chair and sit down.
"Although I am still the political envoy of Zhejiang, according to the regulations, you are under the management of the governor of Zhejiang, and now He Jinxian is also the governor of Zhejiang, so there will be no errand between us. I saw you, just for Zhejiang, for the court. Qian Ning poured him a cup of tea with his own hands.
Yu Xinwu hurriedly took the cup, but he didn't look at Qian Ning's face.
"Does Yu Futai know how many victims are there in Chun'an and Jiande, and how much surplus grain is there in the official warehouse in Zhejiang so far, and how many days can it be distributed according to the four taels per person per day?" Qian Ning asked repeatedly.
"There are 270,000 victims in Chun'an and 110,000 in Jiande. Before the disaster, there were 200,000 stone of grain in the official warehouse, and 380,000 victims, 4 taels per person per day, or 7,000 stone per day. Now that twenty days have passed, there are still 50,000 stone of grain left in the official warehouse, and it can be distributed for ten days at most. Yu Xinwu was not ambiguous, and after a little calculation, he replied unhurriedly when he opened his mouth.
A smile appeared on Qian Ning's face and nodded: "You still have a heart, what are you going to do after ten days?" ”
Yu Xinwu didn't answer, but raised his head and looked at Qian Ning without fear: "My lord, are you accusing him of being humiliated?" ”
Qian Ning looked at him and said nothing, the expression on his face was extremely intriguing.
Yu Xinwu stood up and walked to the window: "The proposal to solve the dilemma of reform and revitalization was put forward by his subordinates, which is true." His subordinates also had a careful understanding of the situation in Zhejiang. Ten days later, naturally, those large households with money and grain took out grain to buy the fields of the victims, and when the disaster was alleviated, the national policy of changing rice to mulberry was to instruct those large farmers who bought the fields to do it. It is better to force them than to force the people to rebel. It is reasonable and reasonable, and this is the only way to do it now. ”
Qian Ning's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, but he asked, "Then how much grain does Yu Futai plan to let those big households with money and food take out to buy the fields of the disaster victims?" ”
Yu Xinwu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lord Qian, there has always been a public price for buying land, and it is not better to let those merchants negotiate a mutually acceptable price with the victims, which is also in line with the general trend and law of helping the people, and the government should not interfere, right?" If this law is broken and those merchants flee Zhejiang, it will ...... the recovery of Zhejiang in the future."
"Really? Ten days later, the relief food was cut off, the victims had no food to eat, and the people who bought the land lowered the price of the land. Qian Ning asked meaningfully. is a useless scholar who only knows how to read according to books.
Yu Xinwu was stunned again, and only after a long time did he speak: "If that's the case, of course the government has to ask!" This land is all owned by the emperor, how can they buy and sell at a low price without authorization and make profits for themselves? I still have a law, and if such a problem really arises, it will naturally be investigated and dealt with according to the law. ”
"Which government? Is it your Hangzhou prefect, or the governor's yamen, or the yamen? Qian Ning stared at him and asked.
Yu Xinwu gradually tasted the meaning of his words, and he asked in a low voice and doubtfully, "What do you mean...... Is it the Zhejiang government that will take advantage of the disaster to connive at the large farmers who buy land and lower the price of land......? ”
"What would you do if that were the case?" Channing looked at him deeply.
“…… The subordinates will fight on the basis of reason! After a moment of silence, Yu Xinwu raised his head firmly and looked into Qian Ning's eyes. The teacher let him go to Zhejiang, just to implement the change from rice to mulberry, instead of letting these people take advantage of the implementation of the national policy to exploit loopholes and make profits for themselves! If they really do this, it will not only cause trouble for their own Hangzhou government, but also to smear the face of their mentor and the emperor! Of course, you have to fight for it! If his teacher is pointed out by thousands of people because of his own mistakes, how can he still see his old man?
"How to fight?" Qian Ning also stood up, his hands behind his back, and looked at Yu Xinwu with burning eyes. He really wanted to know, what can this scholar do to stop those big families and stop He Jinxian?
