Chapter 888: Buddha or Demon (25)
From day to night, the officials brought by Yuan Shuji almost inspected the military horses in the stables of Taifu Temple one by one.
Neither the number nor the condition of the horses was a problem.
Yuan Shuji was even more suspicious in his heart, and he only felt that the whole day's experience was too suspenseful.
Zheng Shuang was airtight, but he didn't show up, keeping his distance from him, Wei Shuang showed up, and the reception was courteous, but he couldn't find flaws in his errands.
To say that these two people have changed their temperament and are of the same mind as him, he can't even dream of it.
But the facts are in front of him, and Yuan Shuji really can't get the handle to show it.
"Wei Shaoqing's errand was done properly, it was the official who was too careful, there is a way, the villain first, the gentleman later, and please Wei Shaoqing Don't mind" "Before the first batch of ordnance and horses arrived in the army, I got the receipt of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and the official will definitely fold it and ask for credit for Wei Shaoqing"
Yuan Shuji found a reason for his strict inspection, and his words were also sincere, and by the way, he promised Wei Shuang another big cake, and tried to tie Wei Shuang and himself in the same boat, and congratulated him in advance with a smile, "At that time, Wei Shaoqing's acting position, I'm afraid it should be corrected."
Wei Shuang still had the same smiling face that didn't move, bowing his head slightly, "Thank you Yuan Shangshu, it's all Yuan Shangshu who has a good way to get it, and the officials are in charge of some internal affairs, and they don't dare to take credit."
Yuan Shuji stroked his beard, looked at him for a long time, he didn't slip away, he had nowhere to start, he looked back at the vast stable, waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, this official will leave here, and someone will contact Shaoqing for follow-up matters later."
Wei Shuang's head swayed again and again like a windmill, and he strongly disagreed, "Yuan Shangshu's words are wrong, it's just that the stables and horses have been verified by you, and you will take the responsibility, and then the lower officials will be in charge, it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of melon fields and plums, and the lower officials intend to order everyone in the Taifu Temple to withdraw from the stables, and the Xia Guanyamen will send someone to take over here, so that everyone can rest assured......"
"Don't hide from Yuan Shangshu, since the subordinate was ordered by the minister, he has been exhausted, worried day and night, and often wakes up at midnight, this time he can hand it over smoothly, and the subordinate can sleep peacefully."
Yuan Shuji was stunned in place, and began to mumble in his heart again, Wei Shuang said nakedly, that is, the transfer of responsibility, Yuan Shuji has checked it, and he will hand it over immediately, and he will not bear any responsibility at all, which is in line with his usual style.
But at the same time, it is equivalent to completely giving up the control of the stable, and taking the initiative to give up the power is abnormal for any court official.
Is it above board, successful and retired, or is it harboring evil intentions and other plans?
The two thoughts in his heart fought fiercely, and they fell into his mouth, but he only said lightly, "This move may violate the rules of the imperial court, and I am afraid that it will lead to the impeachment of the speaker, has Wei Shaoqing thought clearly?" ”
"Thank you Yuan Shangshu for your compassion, the lower officials have made up their minds, and they are planning for the front-line war, a little violation, I think Your Majesty and Prime Minister Quan can understand" Wei Shuang looked resolute and methodical, "Take a step back, many affairs of the Taifu Temple are already under the command of the Xia Guanyamen, and there are expediency in advance and retreat, and they are not exceeded."
Yuan Shuji laughed twice, and also made a decision, since Wei Shuang dared to kill, he dared to bury it, holding all the matters in his hands, and he was also worried, "Even so, this official is disrespectful"
Although he responded, his eyes were fixed on Wei Shuang, wanting to detect some clues in his expression.
It's a pity that he was disappointed, Wei Shuang was not confused, and under the teaching and influence of his brother Wei Juyuan, he was already familiar with the sinister routines of officialdom, and the closer he was to success, the more cautious he was, his expression was not the slightest abnormal, and his smile was as good as ever.
Laugh, and I'm not afraid to laugh at your ugly face, when you are the right minister, or Heng Guogong?
Yuan Shu had nothing to do, so he slandered viciously in his heart, left the secretary next to him to hand over, and patted the horse away.
The smile on Wei Shuang's face slowly retracted, and he walked forward, stopping in front of the smaller ranch for a moment.
Here are 2,000 horses.
Military horses are divided into riding horses, war horses and pack horses, riding horses are used for rapid gallop transfer, war horses are used to fight, the endurance and explosiveness of horses are extremely high, with more stallions, before being put into use, they will generally be gelding, so that the stallions are lost, docile down, easy to control, not tempted.
Pack horses, on the other hand, are mostly mares and are used for transportation, and in case of emergency, mare's milk or meat can also be provided for food and drink.
"Geldings, like eunuchs, have nothing to love, they are too pitiful, they hurt the heavens and the peace"
Wei Shuang showed a mysterious smile, said something incomprehensible, and walked away.
The people left behind by Yuan Shuji couldn't help but pay special attention to this horse farm where war horses were bred in captivity, but they didn't notice that Wei Shuang walked straight forward, but the corner of his eye glanced at the forage field not far away.
Guannei Road, Lingzhou, the most tragic place of the snow disaster this winter.
The public and prime minister of Xin'an County, who went out to patrol the disaster relief, drove straight here.
He had already set a strategy, and the affected prefectures, in the order of first difficult and then easy, first important and then lighter, supervised the central government officials, the young government supervisors and the local government to make good use of relief materials and provide relief to the victims as soon as possible.
The prime minister presided over the disaster relief, and the specifications were different, with the local official Shangshu Wang Tongjiao, the local official Shilang and Taifu Temple Secretary Yao Chong, the two supervisors of the Shaofu Prison Commander Zheng Zheng and Wu Chongxing, and the young eunuch Rui Qian and others accompanying him.
The gist of disaster relief has also been issued, which is divided into four chapters, namely construction, heating, shelter, and epidemic prevention, and there is also a non-mandatory article, donation.
In fact, the construction is to provide relief for work, order the local government, mobilize the affected people, distribute labor tools, clear the snow, restore roads and farmland, cut down trees, burn firewood, build large-scale work sheds, provide food and lodging, and pay according to the working hours, which can be silver money or grain and firewood, and the people choose their own choice.
On the basis of the construction work, roads were opened, materials were accumulated, firewood, food and cotton clothes were distributed to the people affected by the disaster in remote areas, and large fires were set up in the cities and villages, where the people gathered, day and night, so that the people could keep warm for the winter, and those who lost their ability to work were sheltered and supported.
Epidemic prevention is to organize village doctors, burn and bury the frozen corpses, boil decoctions, and distribute them to the people in fires and sheds.
All over the country received the order, all of them acted quickly, acted according to the rules, did not dare to make the slightest mistake or omission, Lingzhou Thorn History is no exception, on both sides of the official road, there are already work sheds, groups of people, shouting trumpets, busy with smoke above their heads, a hot scene.
"Brother, the people are in need, why don't they distribute food, rice, firewood, and clothing to help them, but build a lot of fortifications and let them work?"
Quan Ce's disaster relief method has been criticized a lot in private, but no one dares to question it, but Wu Chongxing does not have so many evasions, so he asks when he opens his mouth.
Quan Ce pursed his lips and smiled, reached out and patted the snowflakes on the top of his head, and explained softly.
"Disaster relief materials, or can be supported for a while, to avoid its hunger and frost worries, winter is still two months long, in addition to material resources, people's hearts are heavier, heavy snow closed mountains and roads, nothing to improve, sitting in a poor city, inaction, the road ahead is confused, helpless, the people's mood is low, panic and fear, gradually strange heart, this is the biggest disaster of the disaster......"
"Building fortifications, one can bring the victims together in one place, facilitate the control and rescue, reduce the damage to human life, the other can unite people's hearts, overcome the difficulties together, even if the snow is cleared today, the next day is white, do this useless work, there is action, there is hope, there is reward, there is rush, there is order, there is mental strength......"
"The root of the way to control chaos and provide relief is not in material resources, but in confusion, and it must be aimed at people's hearts."
"You know, the hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai can be moved, and the snow disaster is not a problem?"
"Uh-huh, cluck"
Wu Chongxing nodded vigorously, his laughter was crisp and bright, and he looked up at Quan Ce with admiration, his eyes shining brighter than snowflakes.
On the side, Wang Tongjiao's face was flushed.
Yao Chong glanced at him with slanted eyes, as if smiling.
As the only non-Quan Ce descendant here, his suspicion is the heaviest.
Right now, it's not a big ear scraper.
