Chapter 118: The Beginning of the Calamity (2)

Lin'an Mansion Yahou Hall.

"You said that Zhao Du commanded the envoy to be sick?"

Jia Yidao looked at Song Yi, who was standing in the lobby with a flushed face, and said with a smile.

Song Yi was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.

Don't talk about Jia Yidao anymore, even he won't believe it. But he had no choice, and several leaders were unwilling to come to pass the word, and such an errand could only fall on him.

Who made him the one who brought the words back?

"Alright, you stand down. Let Zhao Du command the envoy to recuperate at home. The Japanese official came to visit again. ”

Jia Rudao didn't say anything, waved his hand lightly, and motioned for Song Yi to retreat. Song Yi is just an errand runner, and he can only pass on the word, so he is obviously a little self-defeating because he is embarrassed.

"The last will retire!" Song Yi heard Jia Yidao's words, and hurriedly responded as if he had been amnestied.

When the gods fight, it is always them who are injured.

The lobby was instantly quiet, and Jia Rudao frowned slightly.

Zhao Qi didn't come, which didn't surprise Jia Yidao too much. After he arrived at Lin'an Mansion, he thought that what he said at that time was a little inappropriate. No matter in terms of official rank or status, it should not be him who invited Zhao Qi to Lin'an Mansion to meet him. If there is really something, it should be him who went to Zhao Qi's mansion to ask for a meeting.

What really worried him was the words of an old novel that he brought back from the palace.

The old man's family is under the rule of Shaoxing Mansion on Liangzhejiang West Road. Of course, Lin'an Mansion and Jiankang Mansion are both within the territory of Liangzhejiang West Road. If Lin'an City is not the imperial capital and Jiankang Mansion is not the accompanying capital, it should naturally be under the jurisdiction of Liangzhejiang West Road.

Shaoxing Mansion is only more than 100 miles away from Lin'an Mansion. So it's normal to have some similarities in accents.

It doesn't matter where the old man's family is, the important thing is that he fled the famine and came to Lin'an City. Not only his family, but now most of the new beggars in Lin'an City have fled from Shaoxing Mansion, Huizhou Mansion and even Hengzhou Mansion. Behind them, there were still a large number of people fleeing the famine who were rushing towards Lin'an Mansion.

The drought situation in Zhejiang, Fujian, and other places far exceeds that in Lin'an Province, and even far exceeds the expectations of the vast majority of optimistic people in the DPRK and China.

What really puzzled Jia Yidao was that such a large-scale wave of desertion, a huge drought that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the government and the opposition did not get any news, and everywhere was a scene of singing and dancing.

Whether the people below deliberately concealed it and did not report it, or was it stopped by people in the court and kept it secret; Or is it collusion between the top and bottom to deceive the emperor? Jia seems to be the way, but he doesn't know the way.

As long as you are not an idiot, you should have a bad life, such a big thing, can you cover it if you want to?

Meng Heng returned to Beijing to fight the war to recover Xiangyang and Ezhou. Before the army moved, grain and grass went first, and everything needed to be repaid, silver, grain, and grass, etc., all of which needed to be mobilized on a large scale. Although Zhao Yun didn't say it explicitly, it can be seen from his few words that he should have been angry with Yu Tianxi, the actual head of the household, otherwise he wouldn't have asked about spring ploughing in the morning.

Under such circumstances, if a large-scale drought occurs in the two Zhejiang provinces and Fujian, causing a large number of people to flee to Lin'an, then this is really not very good news for the already not very rich treasury. What's more, Jia Rudao had already asked Yu Ci just now, and the situation in Lin'an Mansion was only superficial, but in fact, the drought had begun to be revealed. It's just that last night's spring rain was not big or small, and I calmed a lot of hearts.

"Childe, it's not too early. Isn't it time to go home? ”

Jia Quan'er appeared outside the door with a probe and asked in a low voice.

Looking up at the sky, the sun has reached the top of the western mountain.

"You go back and tell Madame, and say don't wait for me to go back for dinner. I'm going to go to the palace. ”

"Well, the little one obeys."

……

Zhao Yun seemed to have expected Jia Yidao to come.

"It seems to be the way, the Detective Division has always been in the hands of King Rong, let him hand it over to you at this moment, I must have been a little confused for a while, this is angry with me, so I sprinkled my anger on your head, and after a while, I waited until Wan'er was in better health, and then I preached and lectured him."

Jia Rudao hadn't spoken yet, but Zhao Yun had told him about today's matter first. In his words, he thought that Jia Rudao had come to the palace to complain. Although it seems to be on Jia Nidao's side, it is actually just a way to balance.

Originally, Jia Nidao was only a little suspicious that King Rong's attitude was because of Zhao Yun, but now Zhao Yun said that Jia Nidao was sure. However, playing a stick, giving a sweet date, and maintaining a balance, this is the way of the emperor, Jia Rudao didn't care too much, of course, even if he cared, there was no way. At this moment, it is him, and he has not yet reached the point where he can pry the Great Song Dynasty into ignoring everything, especially the emperor.

Fortunately, he didn't enter the palace for the detective department.

Although the Detective Department is powerful, it is a pity that it can only be used by Zhao Yun alone. If he wants to hollow out the detective department and become his personal subordinate, Zhao Yun is afraid that he will be the first person to kill.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Jia Rudao had the idea of using it if it could be used, and putting it aside if it couldn't be used. I don't even have the idea of being the real master of the Detective Division. As long as you can find out the truth about the assassination of your cheap sister, it is enough to strangle the danger in the cradle.

What's more, he doesn't want to get too involved in the intrigues between the DPRK and China. Not to mention grabbing food from the emperor. He has his plans.

"Wechen Xie Majesty is the feeling of maintenance. His Royal Highness King Rong did not embarrass Weichen, Weichen is facing the saint today because he has another important matter to report. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Zhao Yun was slightly stunned, and then picked up the teacup with some surprise and took a sip, "There is something important to report?" Let's hear it. Obviously, he didn't take the important things in Jia Yidao's mouth seriously.

Jia Rudao didn't care, and told Zhao Yun what he had seen on the royal street today and the rhetoric of the old man's family.

"Holy Lord, Weichen has ordered people to go to various places to investigate to see if a large number of displaced people are really flocking to Lai'an Mansion, if this matter is false, it is naturally a great fortune for the country. If true...... His Majesty has just approved General Meng's proposal for the battle of Xiangyang, and the grain and grass are all in preparation. ”

There is another sentence that Jia Rudao did not say, Meng Hui's Battle of Xiangyang is obviously irreversible. Meng Hui should have already started preparations before returning to An Miansheng, and this return to Beijing was just for grain, grass and silver.

If a natural disaster really occurs in the vicinity of Lin'an, Liangzhejiang and Fujian at this time, on the one hand, the disaster will be relieved, and on the other hand, hundreds of thousands of troops will be mobilized to prepare for the battle of Xiangyang.

"It seems that the Tao is talking about this." To Jia Yidao's surprise, Zhao Yun, who originally looked a little dignified, relaxed when he heard Jia Yidao's words, "Qiao Qing and Yu Qing have already reported this matter to me two months ago, and I have ordered Liangzhejiang and Fujian Road to fight drought, and the two roads are said to be quite effective. Those people who fled the famine and came to peace were only a few places. ”

"Holy ......"

"Hehe, it seems that the way is a little calm. In this way, tomorrow morning, I will order Qiao Qing to investigate this matter thoroughly. But it seems that you are acting too much today. Those homeless people don't know the king's law, although you are kind enough to give alms, but those people are afraid that they will not even want their lives for a mouthful of food, if they really hurt themselves, it will be more than worth the loss.

Mu Nuan and the four of them are seriously injured and recuperating, and I will pick some people from the inner temple to give you as an entourage. lest you really put yourself in danger, then I am not allowed. ”

Saying this, Zhao Yun waved his hand to stop Jia Rudao and continued: "You don't care about this matter. I will order Zhao Qi's palace secretary to drive all the beggars in Lin'an City outside the city, and it can be regarded as a clean city in Lin'an City. ”
