Beijing, Xufu.

"My lord, Hu Yingjia has been escorted to the capital, he has been following the official office for almost twenty years, his subordinate officials are no longer familiar with it, this time the matter must be Shen Chongming's gang to blame, and please help him!" Ouyang Jingzhi almost pleaded, Hu Yingjia was loyal to him, and without him, it would be tantamount to cutting off his right-hand man!

"Lord Ouyang, these old men you said understand everything, but you and I both know this case, all the evidence is complete, and the emperor is even more angry, although the old man has the heart to help him, he also has the heart and the strength!" Xu Jie said helplessly, Ouyang Jingzhi is his own person, and the whole court knows that this time something happened to the people below him, and it was also related to his prestige.

"My lord, these subordinates naturally know, but even so, the subordinates can't watch him being victimized by traitors! You are the first assistant, as long as you summon hundreds of officials to intercede for him, presumably the emperor will agree, at least you can save your life! Ouyang Jingzhi almost pleaded.

"Alas!" Xu Jie sighed: "Lord Ouyang, you also know the situation of the court, this time the matter has not implicated you and me, if it is now, in order to protect Hu Yingjia, we will collectively write a book, I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy, not only will he blame you and me, but it is more likely that Hu Yingjia will be dealt with severely!" "As the first assistant, the candidate for disaster relief in Henan this time was also set by Xu Jie, and Hu Yingjia is a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, now that Hu Yingjia has such a big thing, he is also responsible, and Ouyang Jingzhi can't get rid of the relationship.

Seeing that Xu Jie didn't agree, Ouyang Jingzhi also knew that he really had no choice, since he had no choice, and he had no choice without exception, then Hu Yingjia had only one way to confess: "Okay!" But I still hope that you can say hello to Dali Temple and deal with it lightly! ”

"Don't worry, the old man will handle this matter, and it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of the capital crime!" Xu Jie agreed, but Ouyang Jingzhi was overjoyed, Xu Ge was so sure of this matter, he must not be able to die, as long as the person is alive, he can also give an explanation to other subordinates!

After thanking him, Ouyang Jingzhi, who had just sat down, said cautiously: "My lord, now Henan has become Shen Chongming's Yiyantang, this is too different from our original intention, how are you going to ......" The words were not thorough, anyway, Xu Jie also understood what it meant.

Speaking of this, Xu Jie's face was also full of sadness, he had heard about the situation there, and he left next year's disaster relief silver in the blink of an eye, the emperor was in a good mood these days, for the extra 400,000 taels of silver out of thin air, with this great achievement, Shen Chongming's status in the emperor's mind must be more important, he can be literate and martial, and such a courtier will not have a few Ming tragedy songs when he goes through the history books.

"Yes! I never thought of transferring him to Henan to repair the embankment, but let him have more wings, this son is not right, he uses more crooked methods, but the emperor loves it tightly, let him go on like this, sooner or later it will be a big disaster! Xu Jie said worriedly, although he said that he had to be famous, he was even more afraid that this high-arched disciple would take revenge on himself, he had such kung fu at a young age, and now he had made the situation faintly out of his control, and in a few years, he was afraid that he would not be his opponent.

"What the adults said is that such a person will never be kept, and the lower officials have a clever plan to ensure that he will plant a big heel in Henan this time!" Ouyang Jingyi said with a ruthless face, which can be regarded as hating Shen Chongming between his teeth.

"Oh, tell me what to do!" Xu Jie raised his eyebrows and asked, this Ouyang Jingzhi has been in the official career for a few years longer than himself, he is a veritable old fox, and there are many officials who have been planted in his hands over the years.

"My lord, according to the imperial history report of Henan, this time Shen Chongming bought most of the silver on hand to buy grain, and only the 120,000 taels donated by Zhejiang merchants remained, but at the moment, there is no movement on the construction of the Yellow River embankment?" Halfway through talking, this is the habit of Boss Ouyang.

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, then understood, and couldn't help but nod and smile: "Hehe, Lord Ouyang is a good plan, a good plan!" ”

The 300,000 taels of silver that had been allocated to Shen Chongming before were also carefully calculated, and it was more than enough to repair them with straw brooms, but if you used ashlar stones, I was afraid that even the wages of the mining workers would not be enough to pay.

At that time, once he stuck his silver root in the court, Shen Chongming could only use a straw broom in order to complete the errand, but everyone knew that this kind of thing could not last, and then Henan Yushi would collectively impeach him, plus he used his strength in the court, even if the emperor wanted to protect him, it was impossible, even if he couldn't take his life, he could also rip off his official uniform.

And Shen Chongming now only has 120,000 taels of silver left in hand, I am afraid that it will not be enough to build a dam with straw brooms, and he will definitely ask the court for silver again when the time comes, this is his own opportunity, as long as he is not given it, he will not be able to do this errand, he will have to take responsibility.

Henan, Ningling.

Shen Daqin is so bad that he doesn't have to worry, the so-called step by step to see ten steps, this is the code of conduct of officialdom tumblers, Shen Chongming is not very old, but he is deeply in harmony with this.

As early as when he learned that the imperial court only gave him 300,000 taels of silver, Shen Chongming knew that this matter was a situation set up by the enemies of the court and the central government for themselves, and he meddled in Hu Yingjia's matter, in addition to being the master of the people, part of the reason was that he was planning for his own errand.

Although there are only 120,000 taels of silver left in hand, 2 million stone grain is much better than silver in Henan after the catastrophe, and it is definitely hard currency.

"What about my lordship? What are you going to do, now that you're just busy rebuilding houses for the victims, aren't we going to build the dam? Brother Erdan said with a sad face, he really responded to that sentence, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.

"Hehe, Lord Ben is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry!" Shen Chongming said indifferently, I have been very tired these days, men like women and say no, but Zi Qian's unrestrained degree has made her almost to the point of being prohibitive, and she has almost been squeezed dry in the past few days, but fortunately, there is a loyal second egg outside, otherwise he will not have a life.

"Oops!" Brother Erdan was even more anxious when he heard this: "My lord, you said that if you don't start building the embankment, it will be a mistake, and the people will be busy farming in the spring of next year, where are there so many people building the embankment!" ”

Shen Chongming frowned and said with a smile: "Erdan, you saw in your eyes that the adults and I didn't have the hands to start work, didn't you ask you to organize people to build a brick factory quickly these days?" ”

"Brick factory, isn't this burning bricks to rebuild the houses of the victims?" Brother Erdan's face was stunned, and then he complained a little: "My lord, it's not that my subordinates are talkative, and most of the original houses of the victims are adobe houses, why do you have to spend so much effort to build a brick house?" ”

Back to Ningling, Shen Chongming gave an order, the affected areas built a brick factory, this worker in addition to the old craftsmen of the brick factory invited from other places, the rest are mostly victims, the wages of outsiders are a touch of cash, the local victims to work for relief, all the distribution of grain wages, I heard that the brick factory was built to build a house for themselves, the victims are in full swing, brick houses, most people have not lived in the emperor of the fairy kingdom in several lifetimes.

The so-called strength of many people, among the victims of the disaster alone there are tens of thousands of men in the prime of life, so many people started work together, brick factories around the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain on this fertile land, only a few days, most of the brick factories have begun to see the scale, as long as they work harder, they will soon be able to open the kiln to burn bricks.

And Shen Chongming's personal prestige has also risen sharply among the victims, such a good person, such a good official, how many years have not met him, when talking about him, there are few people who don't give a thumbs up.

Listening to Brother Erdan's words, Shen Chongming smiled: "Stupid, if it's just to build a house, do you need so many brick factories?" ”

Brother Erdan was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and thought about it, there are hundreds of large and small brick factories, and if you just build a house, you really won't need so much: "My lord, could it be that you built a brick factory to make money with this!" ”

Full of black lines: "Stupid, you don't need so many brick factories to make money!" Hon-sama is thinking of building an embankment out of fired bricks! ”

"My lord, build a levee out of bricks!" Brother Erdan's face was full of disbelief, he lived so big, and he had never heard of using fired bricks to build a dam!

"Absolutely. Although it is slightly inferior to the ashlar, it is easy to fire, the price is cheap, and you have to send someone to keep an eye on the bricks, and the quality must definitely pass, otherwise the built embankment can not be used at all! Shen Chongming commanded seriously.

Brother Erdan nodded, and then said with some worries: "My lord, if you think about this matter again, the predecessors have not used square bricks to build a dike, don't something happen at that time!" ”

"Hehe, what's there to think about here, when the square bricks are fired, you take someone to experiment with the hardness, how it is soaked in water, don't you know if it can replace the ashlar to build a dam!" Shen Chongming's face was full of indifference, and when Brother Erdan saw this situation, he knew that Lord Shen was hard-hearted, so he could only nod his head.

Knocking Brother Erdan out on an errand, Shen Chongming hummed a little song and walked into Zhao Ziqian's room again, and said that he would take her shopping a few days ago? Helplessly, the affairs have not been empty, now everything has been arranged, and there is nothing to do with yourself, it just so happens that the weather is not bad today, so let's go to the street!

In the past few days, Zhao Ziqian has tried her best to take care of Shen Chongming, but she has been depressed all day long, not for anything else, just because Shen Chongming has once again ruined the big matter of Wuweijiao, and the order to kill him has been sent to Zhao Ziqian again.

Seeing Shen Chongming push the door in, Zhao Ziqian, who had been sitting in the room in a daze, barely squeezed out a smile: "Chongming!" ”

Shen Chongming also saw that something was wrong, and said that Zhao Ziqian was uncomfortable: "Ziqian, is she uncomfortable!" ”

Looking at his concerned gaze, Zhao Ziqian shook her head slightly: "No! ”

"Hehe, are you panicking by staying in the inn all day, it's okay today, let's go out shopping! See what you need! With that, he picked up Zhao Ziqian and walked out the door.
