Chapter 156: Shocked

"This time, according to the emperor's explanation, a total of 200,000 stone of grain was allocated to the 28 prefectures affected by the disaster, and 50,000 yuan of money was used to purchase various materials." The official secretary said.

After hearing this, Wang Wu smiled and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "According to the twenty-eight prefectures that have been affected by the disaster, the number of people is about 300,000. The money and food allocated by the household department are more than enough. I don't know where the money and food from His Royal Highness King Xian are used. ”

"Ignorant people, 200,000 stone of grain seems like a lot, but how long can it keep the people in trouble? Could it be that as long as the water of the Yellow River recedes, they will have something to eat? ”

"If you do what you just said, sow in the spring and harvest in the fall. Then these people will have to wait until the autumn of the next year for a new harvest. ”

"I want to ask you, can these 200,000 stone grain support the autumn harvest next year?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked with an angry look at Wang Wu.

200,000 stone of grain was distributed to the victims, and it was estimated that each person could get 70 or 80 catties of grain (the weight of one stone is 5kg. )。 But this grain can last for three or two months at most.

Of course, that's not counting the grain that has been coveted by state capitals around the world. If all of them are counted, the amount of food that reaches the hands of the people is even smaller.

This is also the reason why there is rice washing water without rice in various places, which is used as disaster relief food. Because even if all this food is used for the victims, it will not be enough.

Although Wang Wu knew that what the eldest grandson Wuji said was reasonable, he had to continue to argue when he was ordered to do so. So he said to the eldest grandson Wuji again: "I wonder if the grain from His Royal Highness King Xian can withstand the autumn harvest next year?" ”

Cheng Yanjin took two steps forward and pointed at Wang Wu's nose and said, "You kid is underbeaten, if Li Chengqian's kid is here today." If you don't fight, it's strange if your bones are broken and your tendons are broken. ”

"Today, I'll tell you that Li Chengqian's kid not only provided enough food to last the autumn harvest next year. Seeds for autumn and spring ploughing are also provided. ”

"And now His Royal Highness King Xian has sent craftsmen to build houses for those people who have been affected by the disaster. Make sure that no one will be sleeping on the streets this winter. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's words made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military couldn't help but be surprised, if Li Chengqian really did so much. That's really the benefactor of the people of Henan Province.

On the contrary, what shocked everyone was how much money Li Chengqian had. Is it more abundant than the treasury of the imperial court?

"Lu Guogong, if it is as you just said. Then I don't know how much food the imperial brother has to come up with? I'm afraid that even if he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty for a lifetime, he may not have these savings. ”

"Of course, I will tell the king that the royal brother has this shop in the 21st century. But even if the 21st century is making money, I am afraid that it will not be able to support such a big gesture by the imperial brother. Yue Wang Li Tai stood up and asked Cheng Yanjin.

"Hahaha, you kid is really a mouse. Your imperial brother's 21st century is not appropriate to describe it as a daily progress. Let me Cheng bite Jin and say, it's almost the same as entering Jinshan every day. Cheng Yanjin said with a disdainful face.

This couldn't help but make Yue Wang Li Tai's face cold, and first Cheng Yanjin's attitude towards him made him dissatisfied. Secondly, Li Tai felt that Cheng Yanjin was exaggerating.

But before he could say anything, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, during this time, the sales of Tiangan lottery tickets are hot. ”

"Although forty percent of the Tiangan lottery is used as a disaster relief reserve. But in just a few months, there are 20,000 pieces. ”

In addition, in order to cope with this flood, King Xian will use the profits outside the disaster relief reserve. I took them all out. That adds up to 50,000. ”

And King Xianwang will make all the profits of the 21st Century Grand Theater, the 21st Century Heroes Building, the 21st Century Juewei Building, and the 21st Century Shops. Coupled with his savings for so many years, he took them all out at once. ”

"So this time, King Xian contributed a total of 200,000 yuan in the process of disaster relief. And from the Qinghe Cui family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and collected 400,000 stones of grain. ”

"This is why there is not a single displaced person in this flood in Henan Province. All this is thanks to the merits of King Xian, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Taiyuan Wang family. ”

Wang Wu slandered Li Chengqian in every possible way here, but the Taiyuan Wang family behind him provided grain for Li Chengqian's disaster relief. This was a slap in the face to Wang Wu.

And even Li Tai, the king of Yue, was silent at this time, he never thought that Li Chengqian would be able to come up with 200,000 yuan.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were even more shocked, and Li Shimin was even more smiling. I only heard Li Shimin speak: "The Taiyuan Wang family and the Qinghe Cui family have done things that benefit the country and the people. I will send someone to the two houses to thank you personally. ”

"The virtuous king Li Chengqian has indeed made a lot of contributions in this disaster relief. But he also did a lot of excessive things, and the assassins and Du Du who died in his hands were not one or two people. ”

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji spoke again: "The emperor doesn't know that Lu Qinghong, the assassin of Bianzhou, and Li Wenzhi, the governor of Bianzhou, are in a mess. Unauthorized transfer and deduction of disaster relief food. ”

And deliberately instigated the victims to riot. They wanted to use the pretext of the disaster victims to rob the Bianzhou government treasury to conceal their private deduction of disaster relief food. ”

Fortunately, King Xian had already made arrangements, and finally smashed their plot and recovered the disaster relief food. But for the sake of civilian outrage, it deters other state officials. That's why the virtuous king will punish him with Ling Chi. ”

Even so, there are those who are consumed by the desire for profit and try to get involved in both types of disaster relief. That's why King Xian had to go on a killing spree? ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Cheng Yanjin spoke again: "Your Majesty, this time I will bring you a gift from Lao Cheng." Now I will have someone bring you up for the emperor. ”

After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he shouted outside the Taiji Palace: "Come on, bring the people's rolls to the emperor." ”

Not long after, someone carried a huge cloth roll into the Taiji Hall. And it was opened directly in front of everyone.

After opening it, I saw that the middle of the Wanmin scroll was written with four big characters of imperial grace in cinnabar. Names are signed all around, and the names are still marked with bright red fingerprints.

This couldn't help but make Li Shimin get up and come to the front to watch. When he came to take a closer look, Li Shimin found that the fingerprints on it were actually pressed with blood.

While looking at it, he opened his mouth and asked Cheng Yanjin: "I don't know how many people have signed this Wanmin scroll and put blood handprints?" ”

"Your Majesty, the people were originally going to send an umbrella for all the people. But there are so many grateful people that an umbrella can't write everyone's name at all. ”

Later, someone proposed to make this 10,000 scrolls. It had the signatures of more than 200,000 people, and his name was pressed with blood. Cheng Yanjin pointed to Wanmin and said to Li Shimin.

Although it is written on this that the emperor's grace is vast, Li Shimin's heart is clear. Naturally, the civil and military officials also understood that this Wanmin scroll was earned by Li Chengqian.
