"Are you teaching me how to do things, huh?"

Seeing Hongqing's serious shirking of responsibility, the old man was really a little crying and laughing, so he started to make things difficult for Hongqing, and asked with a blank face.

"Huang Ma Fa Haihan, grandson does not dare to be rude and illegal, what he said, the truth is also, since ancient times, disaster relief is like fighting fires, must not be delayed, for the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of victims in Henan, grandson dared to ask Huang Ma Fa to issue an edict for disaster relief."

The old man's face sank so much, and most of the courtiers watching on the side couldn't help but have palpitations, but Hongqing didn't care, not that Hongqing was not afraid of death, but that he saw the old man's thoughts, and the left and right were just feigned anger, so he didn't have to care too much, and he answered calmly.

"Well, that's good, just tell me how I can help the disaster."

The old man was really amused by Hongqing's more serious appearance, his eyebrows raised, and he laughed inexplicably, but the words he asked were obviously with a strong sense of condemnation.

"If you go back to Huang Ma Fa, the major affairs of this country, Sun Er really dare not say anything, only some superficial knowledge, and ask Huang Ma Fa to inquire about it."

If it was the minister next to him, hearing the old man's unkind words, he would be so frightened that he would hurry up and ask for guilt, but Hongqing was good, and he actually climbed up the pole, and he really wanted to "share his worries" for the old man Kangxi.

"Lie? I really want to hear what you say, let's talk about it. ”

Seeing Hongqing's behavior like this, the old man was really a little angry, but he didn't have a seizure, but looked at Hongqing with interest, and asked in a cold voice.

"Back to the Emperor Marfa's words, the grandson of the Emperor Marfa did not give up, to help the Ministry of Works, since not dare to have the grace of heaven, yesterday the palace reported to Beijing, the government and the opposition are coaxed to spread it, the grandson is very worried, overnight calculated the need to fix the embankment, with reference to the Kangxi 35th, 39th two precedents of the embankment, has obtained about the number, if you want to keep the embankment for ten years, you need at least 2.3 million taels of silver, if you want to keep the embankment for a hundred years, then this number must be doubled, if the amount of silver is less than 1.5 million, then only the symptoms can be cured, but not the root cause, Floods are inevitable every year, and this one, please also ask Huang Ma to learn from it. ”

Hongqing could hear the impatience in the old man's words, but he didn't care, knelt up straight, and explained in detail the amount of money spent on fixing the embankment.

"Uh-huh...... March!"

As soon as he heard that Hongqing's data was so big, the old man's brows immediately furrowed slightly, but he did not comment, but after a moment of silence, he named March.

"The minister is here!"

Although yesterday was a monthly holiday, but Ma Qi happened to be on duty, Henan's emergency report was personally sent into the palace by him, and was held accountable by the old man for most of the hour, since he knew the old man's intention to name him at this time, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, but the old man had opened the golden mouth, but Ma Qi did not dare not stand up, and the voice of the answer inevitably carried a little bitterness.

"Do you have any regulations for disaster relief, huh?"

The old man glanced at March with an expressionless face and asked quietly.

"If you return to the emperor, the minister yesterday estimated the grain and materials needed for the disaster contained in the palace report, and the present chapter is as follows: This flood has affected the four prefectures and eighteen counties, ten thousand hectares of fertile land have been destroyed, and the affected people are more than 487,000, if you want to be compassionate in the whole body, you must transfer 120,000 stone of grain, and cost 1,400,000 taels of silver, even if the taxes of Henan Province are reduced, you still need 1,000,000 taels of silver to apply, and if you count the need to fix the embankment as Hongqing Beizi said, you must get more than 4,000,000 taels of silver."

Although Ma Qi complained bitterly in his heart, but the old man asked, he didn't dare not answer, so he could only report the results of the household department being driven out overnight.

"Well, has the Ministry of Household ever made the allocation charter?"

Yesterday, the old man already knew the approximate cost of this disaster relief, and the difference was only the amount of the embankment at the end of the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Majesty, grain can still be transferred from the two lakes, and as for the silver, it is really difficult for the ministers."

When he heard the drama coming, the bitterness on March's face suddenly became a little stronger, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only respond with a shameful face.

"Huh? If I remember correctly, isn't there still more than 45 million taels of silver in the national treasury, what is the difficulty, say! ”

As soon as Ma Qi's words fell, the green tendons on the old man's forehead immediately jumped, and he asked with a cold face.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the household department now has more than 45 million taels in its books, however, the actual deposit of silver is only 13.27 million taels, and the needs of the operation of the imperial court this year are almost the same, and the remaining ones, a total of less than 2 million, are only enough to use urgently, and they can't be transferred, even if they want to be transferred, they will have to be at this time in the year after next at the earliest, and the old minister is incompetent, and please punish Your Majesty."

As soon as the old man had such a seizure, whether it was true or not, March couldn't help but make a panicked look, knocked his head a few times, and reluctantly told the truth.

"Why, say, where has the money in the treasury gone, huh?"

The old man was waiting for such an opportunity to go crazy, and as soon as March's voice fell, the old man was already angry and slapped the dragon case, and asked angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, these ministers are incompetent, and they have not been able to curb the bad habit of borrowing money that has become a trend for a long time, and now, in addition to the fifteen million taels owed by the provinces, the rest of the treasury and silver are all borrowed by the princes of the court, and the ministers have accounts here, and please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment!"

The old man was so furious, Ma Qi's old face suddenly bitter like a chrysanthemum, not for anything else, just because of these deficits and his Ma Qi is actually not big, since he took office as the head of the household book for a year and a half, it has been repeatedly under the following divisions, strictly ordered not to lend the treasury silver, but the head of the people and other yang and yin violated, with the court practice to prevaricate, Ma Qi is overwhelmed, besides, dare to reach out to borrow the treasury silver, who is not a powerful person, not to mention the brothers, that is, even the prince has borrowed more than 100,000 taels in the treasury, for such bad habits, March is really heartless but powerless, and at this time, he was attacked by the old man, and he was extremely aggrieved, but he was helpless.

"Buzz ......"

As soon as March said this, the ministers in the palace were in an uproar, not for anything else, just because among all the people present, there were really few people who did not stretch out their hands to the treasury, and the big guy's buttocks were not clean.

"Bring it on!"

The old man first looked around at the panicked people in the hall with a gloomy face, and then slapped the dragon case, and shouted angrily.

"Wow!"

The old man was so angry, and in an instant, the courtiers in the palace were all silent, and the sound of chaotic discussions suddenly stopped, and even Zhao Mingde, who was waiting beside the old man, was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and after answering in a trembling voice, he jumped down the front pier with a smoke, took the stack of thick documents above his head from March, and hurriedly walked back to the front pier, and handed the documents to the old man's dragon case.

"Okay, very good, my high-ranking officials are kind to you, is this how you repay me? The money in the treasury dares to stretch out its hand, so what is the use of me waiting for it? ”

Although he had known about the deficit of the treasury in advance, the old man could not suppress the anger in his heart when he saw the series of dazzling names and loan amounts listed on the documents, and threw the documents down the court, and scolded them in such anger that they all fell to their knees in the hall.

The show has begun, the fire has arrived, daddy, daddy, it's time for you to play, resist it, don't lie down!

The old man was furious, and everyone was panicked, but Hongqing didn't care at all, although he also knelt on the ground, his attention was not on this matter, but secretly prayed that the third master could come forward and stage a good show to turn the tide.

"Huang Ama is angry, Huang Ama is angry, and the ministers have a report, and ask Huang Ama to inquire about it."

Although the third master's temperament is a little softer, but after all, he is not a stupid person, when he sees the posture in front of him, he knows that it is imperative to pay off the debt, and he believes a little more in the analysis and suggestions of yesterday's Hongqing, in the face of such a great opportunity to stage his ambition, he is unwilling to miss it, and this knees stand out from the ministers, while kowtowing, while admonishing with great sincerity.

"Speak!"

When I saw that the person who came out was the third master, although the old man was in a rage, he didn't take the third master to attack, although his face was still flat, but his voice was obviously a little slower, and he was obviously very satisfied with the performance of the third master in the past few years, and he couldn't help but look forward to the third master being able to make some achievements in the matter of the household.

"Son-in-law, Emperor Amalon."

Although the third master came out bravely, but in his heart he couldn't help but be a little worried that the old man was angry, and even his own seizures were carried out, and when he heard the old man so ordered, the anxiety in his heart was immediately gone, and he hurriedly kowtowed, and after thanking him, he knelt up straight, quickly organized the language, and said with a solemn expression: "Erchen thought that the deficit of the treasury must be strictly investigated, but the disaster relief matter was urgent, and the victims were in trouble, and Erchen felt extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't bear to sit idly by. I implore the Emperor Ama to allow his sons to preside over his affairs on behalf of the Emperor Amma, so as to soothe the hearts of the victims. ”

"Buzz ......"

As soon as they heard the third master say this, the people who were kneeling down immediately became in an uproar again, not for anything else, just because the third master's actions of forcing him to do something he knew he couldn't do were too weird, how could he not make everyone suspicious.
