Chapter 242: Discussing the Disaster

Ah Zhen looked around at the dazed elders, and asked without hurrying: "Has the emperor ever eaten steamed buns?" ”

"Steamed buns?" Zhou Bolun is the Son of Heaven, and he eats jade food, where has he ever eaten such a vulgar thing, he shook his head and said, "I have never eaten it." ”

"Haven't you eaten it?" Ah Zhen nodded, and asked again: "Does the emperor know how much a steamed bun is?" ”

The emperor frowned and looked at the courtiers below, not knowing what this ruffian was going to do, so he stretched out his fingers and asked, "What does Lin Aiqing want to say?" ”

"Yes." Ah Zhen responded, glanced at the three kneeling people next to him, and snorted lightly before folding: "The emperor knows, Chenshi Shijing, born from snacks and grains, steamed buns are the weight of a full stomach." He said: "The price of folk steamed buns is the same, and what the household says is true, all of them are five copper plates and three pieces." ”

Everyone in the palace saw that he had just participated in the household department's private business, and now he had overthrown the household department, which was contradictory to each other, which was really incomprehensible. Qi Xiang put his eyes on Lin Azhen's face, seeing that he was calm and confident, only the old fox Zhai Ran smelled the smell, and after a while, several people were pale, and the whitest of them belonged to Li Guodong. I never thought that the right prime minister would use steamed buns to talk about disaster silver, how to prevaricate now?

Zhou Bolun didn't understand steamed buns, it can be seen that everyone below has a different color, secretly settled down and thought carefully, the answer came out, his face was cold, and he drank under his fingers: "Lin Aiqing will calculate it for me." ”

"Five copper plates and steamed buns, one thousand copper plates, one tael of silver, one tael of silver, six hundred, ten two hundred and sixty thousand, one hundred and twenty six thousand, one thousand two hundred and sixty thousand, two hundred and sixty million, two hundred and twenty million, and five hundred thousand taels are full of 300 million steamed buns." Ah Zhen was liquidated in the palace and asked: "Your Majesty, 87,000 people were affected by the disaster, is it enough to eat five pills per person for three meals a day?" Not enough to add snacks and supper, five meals a day, five pieces per meal, a total of 25 steamed buns per person per day, 80,000 people consume 2 million steamed buns a day, 20 million a day, and only 200 million in 100 days. The minister is strange, how long is the disaster? In the blink of an eye, 300 million steamed buns were consumed, could it be that all the victims were starving ghosts to be reincarnated? ”

After his liquidation, everyone in the court suddenly glanced at the three people in Shangshu Province, the steamed buns were obvious one by one, 300 million steamed buns were enough for these 80,000 people to die, how could they be full of food?

It's not that he doesn't know, but he was shocked, Zhou Bolun was completely enlightened, his face was cold, and he smashed the gold case angrily and got up and shouted: "Ministry of Works, what's going on?" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu knows a little bit of the insider, but it can ...... I can't say it, kowtow and stammer: "The emperor...... The emperor is angry, and the disaster is ...... Victims don't just eat ...... Eat, 500,000 taels...... Some of them are used in disaster areas, and ...... Buy a quilt, do not ...... Otherwise, what will freeze to death...... He is only 10,000. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Guodong also knelt on the ground and wailed: "At present, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the number of people affected by the disaster has reached nearly 90,000. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bolun eased his face and called out in a calm voice: "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." Li Guodong and the Ministry of Industry escaped, trembling and getting up from the ground.

Ah Zhen's eyes narrowed, and he asked silently: "Lord Shangshu Province, since you have purchased a cold quilt and a robe, why did you still have 10,000 lives?" ”

"Porphy ......" trembling and trembling The two of them just got up, hearing this voice and asked, Porphy knelt on the ground in fright, Li Guodong kowtowed to the emperor and cried: "The emperor Mingjian, 500,000 taels to be used for nearly 90,000 disaster victims is indeed a drop in the bucket, the first to live outside the mountain has something to keep out the cold, many people in the four places live in the mountain, the snow covers the mountain, even if the snow breaks in, it has frozen to death countless times, and there is not much left in the robes in his hand, so how much can be saved." ”

"Oh!" Ah Zhen stared at it and asked coldly: "According to Shangshu Province, only 70,000 cold quilts and 70,000 robes have been purchased?" ”

"No...... No. "Li Guodong is an old fox, don't say that he only bought a robe but not a cold quilt, even if he buys it, he can't tell the truth, otherwise if there is an accident, then he will be disabled if he doesn't die. Waving his hand, he hurriedly replied: "The silver taels are not enough, only ...... Only 20,000 robes and 30,000 cold quilts were purchased. ”

Ah Zhen nodded, and immediately folded before asking: "Your Majesty, the emperor in the palace is not counted, there are forty-eight people, if these forty-eight people are in the cold, but there are only ten cold robes and ten robes, what will happen?" ”

"This ......" Everyone has not thought about this question, you look at me, I look at you, even the emperor was dumbfounded for a long time, thought about it and said: "If this is the case, twenty-eight people will die." ”

"No!" Huang Yuan, Tang Yi, Chang Lie and many other ministers have already understood, Tang Yi folded up and said: "Ten robes don't matter, ten cold quilts are one for three or four people, and they are surrounded to resist the cold." ”

"Yes, the prime minister is right." Huang Yuan glanced at the six Shangshu with both eyes, this old guy actually swallowed this big money by himself, it was really excessive, and he hugged it: "The group is surrounded by the cold, not only is it warmed, but the heat dispersed by the human body also warms the body." ”

The things were clear one by one, and Zhou Bolun immediately knew that Li Guodong did not buy a cold quilt, so he asked angrily: "Six books, how do you explain this matter?" ”

Li Guodong's thief's eyes rolled and kowtowed: "The emperor...... The emperor is sage, the minister is guilty, the minister did not go to the disaster area in person, but there are indeed cold quilts, robes and other things, why the victims are not surrounded and together, I really don't know, the minister is not effective, please reprimand the emperor. ”

Seeing this, Taifu You first hurriedly came out to excuse him. "There is an old saying: 'Ants steal their lives, it is difficult to take care of their families', and 'husband and wife are gracious, and they fly separately'. The emperor knew that when life and death existed, the people were ignorant, how could they ever think of the law of common control? When the catastrophe comes, everyone is in danger, and it is a great fortune to steal a life, but how can they know the righteousness. ”

"Taifu's words are true." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu kowtowed and mourned: "The emperor is clear, the people are ignorant, and they have to be shrunk by a half-jacket, and others are not relatives, how can they be willing to share the same Heng." ”

The emperor snorted, stood on the hall with his hands in his hands and stared at the two kneeling on the ground, not knowing whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, and muttered for a moment before he called out unhappily: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, your majesty." Li Dongguo's heart almost jumped out, and before he could stand up, his eyes glanced at the right prime minister, and when he saw that he was also staring at himself with a contemplative gaze, he stood up in panic, and didn't dare to say more than half a sentence.

As soon as Ah Zhen tried, he immediately tried out the depth of the court, and it was obvious that there were two factions among them, Li Guodong and Taifu Youxian were the same faction, and the palace scholars and Taibao Changlie were in a group. As for them, they must also have a very shallow relationship, looking at Li Guodong trembling with deep eyes, this old fox who can only pat on the back, just let him pass in this way, the coming day is long, 10,000 lives will be written down for the time being, and he will be reported in the future.

"Your Majesty." Turning his eyes from Li Guodong, Ah Zhen hugged and said: "The people of the four places already have things to protect themselves from the cold, and I don't think there will be any more freezing to death." Speaking of this, he looked at Li Guodong meaningfully, saw that he was glancing at himself, smiled at him, and then said: "There is not much food in the disaster area, and please ask the emperor to pull out the disaster funds again and send a competent person to supervise it." ”

When Li Guodong heard the words of the right prime minister, he knew that he had swallowed the disaster silver and had to spit it out, and his heart was bitter, compared to life, hundreds of thousands of taels were nothing, and he didn't dare to say anything, and listened with his ears up.

"Hmm." Zhou Bolun was worried about the disaster area a few days ago, but now he has gradually stabilized, how much can he eat, and he called: "Let the household department pull out another 200,000 taels to go to the disaster area." ”

Hubu Shangshu was almost not scared to death, seeing that the matter was calm, he hurriedly received the praise, and couldn't help but sing praises, trembling and returning to the ranks, not daring to say a word.

Pulling out the silver taels, the emperor was embarrassed, looked back and forth at the ministers below, and asked: "Elder Pavilion, I don't know who wants to go to the disaster area to perform the post of overseer?" ”

"Your Majesty." Ah Zhen was waiting for these words, and immediately folded and then came out of the ranks, "Lord Taibao Chang is up to this important task." ”

As soon as he said this, only the old fox in the hall was shocked, this right prime minister is young, is it a coincidence or does he really see it?

The emperor also knows more or less about the friends of the DPRK and China, and when he heard that the ruffian boy recommended the standing list, he couldn't help but be surprised, this move is very good, and he attacks his shield with his spear, which is wonderful! asked quietly: "Chang Aiqing, Lin Aiqing recommended you to be the supervisor of the disaster area, I don't know what I want." ”

When Chang Lie heard this inquiry, his heart was like a mirror, and he knew that he had to go this time, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed in joy. "The minister swears not to disgrace his life, thank the emperor."

"That's very good." Zhou Bolun nodded with satisfaction, sat back on the golden chair and took a sip of tea, his eyes looked at the lid of the cup, and he put down the teacup before asking again: "I don't know what else Zhu Aiqing has to play?" ”

A cadre of people turned to look at it, and shouted in unison: "The minister has nothing to do." ”

After drinking six cups of tea alone, after sitting down for a long time, Zhou Bolun's limbs were also a little sore, and seeing that it was okay, he stood up and waved his hand: "Retreat." ”

When Hua Fu heard the retreat, he stepped forward with a whisk in his hand, and the voice of the cheap fetus mother was soft: "Retreat...... Towards ......"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Closely following the voice of the cheap fetus, His Royal Highness has the voice of the king.

I'm tired! The emperor left, and the ministers in the palace slowly got up from the ground. Ah Zhen turned his head to look outside the pavilion, the sky was bright, the foggy snow was still fluttering, and he made a big cut, thinking of the mess in the house, his head gradually hurt.

"Ministers." Following everyone's first row out of the threshold of Taihe Palace, he clasped his fists and bowed left and right: "In the past, I was not in the mansion, and the servants in the mansion were bad, and I hope to forgive me for offending a lot." ”

The third eunuch was frowning at the group of slaves in his house, and now when he heard this, his heart was happy for a while, and he naturally waved his hand and said: "The right prime minister doesn't have to be like this, the slaves are stubborn, and discipline and discipline are enough." ”

Hearing and seeing the face and tone of the ministers around him, Ah Zhen was only very disgusted with the group of people in his family, but he refused to say it because of his face. He raised his finger and scolded: "These slaves are lawless, I am not in the house, but I am called the king, and this time I will be greatly governed." The ministers have been burdened by their slaves for many days, and the younger brother is really sorry. Holding his fists left and right, he apologized, and invited with his backhand: "If you don't dislike it, come to the little brother's house tonight to drink a glass of water and wine, I don't know what you want to do?" ”
