Chapter 144: It's All the Yellow River's Fault (1)
M&A negotiations are extremely difficult, although both sides have a strong intention to cooperate, but in the face of interests, no one is willing to give in slightly, Chen Siyuan, Liu Qi headed by the "Kirin firm" negotiation team despite the large number of people, and occupy the advantage of the right time, place and people, but it is still difficult to overwhelm the lonely people at the negotiation table. Agassi's side, the two sides compared the draft, almost every article and every paragraph must be disputed, and they quarreled happily, but Hongqing didn't care at all, and he didn't even go to the negotiation site once, and he completely became a big shopkeeper, there is nothing else, in Hongqing's view, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, it is nothing more than a matter of more benefits and less benefits, at this point, Chen Siyuan and others are definitely thieves, and there is no need for Hongqing to take care of it in person, besides, for the rest of the month, Hongqing is busy, I really don't have the time to care about negotiations.
What's busy? It's not the government affairs of the bureau, it's not the resignation of the article, but he's busy turning to a farmer, of course, he's obviously not very competent as a farmer, and he's just pointing fingers at others to work, and after a toss, the back garden of the palace was stunned by the flowers, and a large piece of farmland stands next to the rockery pond, how to look at how it is not pleasing to the eye, but Hongqing is just red right now, and the people in the palace only dare to be angry and dare not speak, so they can only let Hongqing toss around there endlessly, this is not, Finally, I met a month's vacation, and Hongqing tossed in the back garden again, instructing the people to fertilize and loosen the soil for a while, and calling others to catch insects quickly, making a lot of noise.
What I didn't say, just one word - cool!
Looking at the bunched green plants in front of him, Hongqing's heart was really comfortable, while instructing others to work, while thinking about how to make such things good after the harvest, in order to give full play to the best effect, thinking of the excitement, the smile on his face was really as bright as a flower.
"Little prince, please come to the study."
Just when Hongqing was happy, he saw Mo Yu hurriedly turn out from behind the rockery, walked a few steps, grabbed Hongqing's side, and bowed respectfully to report a word.
"yes, got it."
As soon as he heard that the third master was invited, Hongqing couldn't help but be stunned, not for anything else, just because the third master went out early in the morning, saying that the Ministry of Rites was going to arrange Changchun Garden Qingyuan, in case the old man would move soon, it was not yet noon, and he had already returned to the house, which obviously had no article.
"Sons knock to their father! I've seen the Master, I've seen Mr. Li. ”
As soon as Fang turned the screen in front of the door of the study, he saw that the third master was sitting on the top of the head, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to the front, and paid respects in a proper manner.
"Excuse me, sit down."
Although Hongqing has never personally gone to the field to do farm work, but being at the edge of the field, it is inevitable that he will be stained with some unelegant smell, this line is about to come in, and the smell will spread in the originally elegant study, which really makes the third master who is quite clean involuntarily frowned, but he did not attack, just raised his hand and called out in a flat tone.
"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."
The third master's frowning action was really conspicuous, Hongqing saw it in his eyes, but he didn't care, and after thanking him respectfully, he got up, walked to the side and lowered his head, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down with Shi Shiran.
"It's enough to know a little about farm work, it's too late, Qing'er has leisure, it's better to put more effort into the scriptures."
Hongqing's troubles in the back garden, the third master knew about it early in the morning, but he didn't want to care, even if there were actually a lot of people complaining to him in each room, but there was something in his heart at this time, and he was stimulated by the strange smell, so he couldn't help but say something to bury Hongqing.
"The father taught him well, and the child remembered it."
The reason why Hongqing planted these overseas grains was naturally not for fun, but because there was another arrangement, just for the sake of secrecy, Hongqing did not intend to reveal such exquisite arrangements, not to mention the third master, it was the old master, Hongqing was also secret, in order to be able to make a big surprise when the time came, because of this, Hongqing would not care about his father's burial, so he just responded respectfully.
"Just remember, don't talk about this, call you, there is a matter that has a lot to do with your Ministry of Industry, so let's say, the Kaifeng section of the Yellow River burst the embankment three days ago, flooded four prefectures and eighteen counties, and the affected people were as many as hundreds of thousands.
The third master didn't dwell on the farm work anymore, nodded solemnly, and said the topic of the discussion in a heavy tone.
The Yellow River burst its banks, huh? I'm afraid it's not that simple, isn't it......
Hearing what the third master said, Hongqing was stunned at first, and then vaguely remembered something, and when he was startled, his face instantly became a little gloomy.
"What the prince said is very true, Your Majesty has always been sympathetic to the people, and now the disaster is so serious, a thorough investigation is probably inevitable, but the little prince is not the person in charge of the Ministry of Works, this board is to be beaten, and it may not be hit on the little prince, just be careful to deal with it, but there is no need to worry about it."
As soon as he saw that Hongqing's face was wrong, Li Minquan mistakenly thought that Hongqing was worried about being blamed, so he hurriedly explained it from the side, intending to use this to forgive Hongqing's heart.
"Well, what Zicheng said is reasonable, it's just ......, well, if there is a villain in it, I am afraid that things will change, but I have to guard against it."
The third master is extremely concerned about Hongqing's outstanding son, of course, deep in his heart, the third master may value Hongqing's position as the assistant of the Ministry of Works, the reason why he rushed home as soon as he heard about the collapse of the Yellow River is that other elder brothers will do tricks in this matter, nothing else, and now all the adult elder brothers have already taken up the ministry - in early April, the old man issued an edict and assigned the envoys of the ministry to the elder brothers, and the third master is still in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but there are five or seven more elder brother assistants; The eldest brother is still the minister of the guard, in charge of the camp; The fourth master and the twelfth master went to the household department, of which the fourth master was the main one, and the twelfth master was just the identity of the assistant; The eighth, ninth, and thirteenth masters have all been integrated into the criminal department, and the old fourteenth has become the assistant of the military department, only the old thirteen are still being punished, and there is no difference in the body, just like that, the big guys are all in their hands at the moment, and there are people under them, and the open dispute on the surface seems to be less, but in fact, the secret battle is suddenly fierce, if Hongqing is really implicated in the collapse of the Yellow River, the good situation of the Chengjun Wangfu is about to collapse half of the sky, in this case, how can the third master not be worried.
"What my father said is that if the Yellow River bursts, the court will have a lot of troubles, and if you don't prepare early, I'm afraid that disasters will be inevitable."
The matter is urgent, and tomorrow morning it will be a big court, Hongqing didn't dare to be careless, so he didn't care about talking to Li Minquan first, Huo Ran raised his head, bowed to the third master with a solemn face, and interjected in a heavy tone.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
The third master was originally just worried, but when he heard Hongqing say it so surely, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes suddenly opened, his eyes looked at Hongqing with a blazing gaze, and he asked with a cautious expression.
"Back to my father's words, this disaster is so severe, the disaster relief needs is a large number, and then counting the cost of fixing the embankment, I am afraid that there will be no four million taels of silver, if it is in previous years, just four million taels of silver is not much, but now the treasury has an empty book number of four five million taels of silver, in fact, it is less than forty percent of it, and then deduct the daily needs of the imperial court, the rest is already very little, if Huang Ma Fa knows the details, anger is inevitable, and the matter of chasing the comparison is likely to start, and the capital has become a place of right and wrong, if you don't make a plot early, you will be deeply trapped in it, this article, please also ask my father to be clear. ”
Hongqing's worries are not at all about the mistakes in the Ministry of Engineering that the third master thinks, but about worrying about the involvement of a wide range of household departments, of course, the reason why Hongqing can guess the root is not entirely due to reasoning ability, but more of the forward-looking advantage of the traverser.
"This ......"
Although the third master is also a smart person, after all, he is still far from a wise man, and he never imagined that the collapse of the Yellow River would involve the household to pay off the debt.
"The little prince can see the subtleties, and the great goodness is also!"
What Hongqing said was really too amazing, the third master didn't dare to believe it all, and when he was about to doubt his trust, he heard the old master Chen who sat still let out a sigh of emotion, and immediately extinguished the last few doubts in the third master's heart.
"Well, if that's the case, what if so?"
It has been determined that it is imperative for the household to pay off the debt, the third master's thoughts can be rippling, and he quickly took stock of the current situation in his heart, and suddenly found that his family seems to have inadvertently held a lot of advantages, after all, among the brothers, there are very few who do not owe the treasury, and after all, it is only his third master and the fourth and eighth two, and the rest of the people are all a bad debt, and they have the idea of profiting in this matter, but the matter is big, although the third master has a heart, but he does not dare to act too risky, and he has been silent for a long time, still didn't dare to make a decision, so he asked tentatively.
Hey, Daddy, Daddy, haven't you seen how muddy the water is, and you still want to plop in it, don't you really know how the word "death" is written?
It is said that knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father, but when it comes to Hongqing, it has to be said the other way around, no, just a glance at the flickering eyes of the third master, Hongqing already knows what the third master is thinking about in his heart, and he can't help but feel a little crying and laughing.
