Twenty-five million taels of silver into the treasury, in the imperial court, caused a sensation, the head of the household is the most happy, with so much gold and silver, can do a lot of things, although it is said that after the increase in Liaoyu, the income has increased some, but after removing the expenses of various places, the silver that can really enter the treasury is only a few million taels. And the levy of Liao salary, he doesn't know how much he has been scolded by Lu Dao, and some people even say that he is not as good as a pig and a dog.

There are too many places that need to be spent, silver is needed to exterminate the Liukou, silver is needed for disaster relief, silver is needed for the defense of the northern side, and silver is needed for the guards in various places.

The expenditure of silver taels needs to be approved by the cabinet, and finally played to the emperor, but in this procedure, the most critical step is the first step, at least the household department needs to put forward a plan, if there is no plan in the middle, then it will definitely not get the silver taels.

In the early dynasties, because of the problem of silver expenditure, there was a quarrel in the cabinet, the emperor was very annoyed, he couldn't think of silver, and there was such a situation, the big expenditure has been set, the first expenditure is to issue the sergeant's salary, because of the arrears of silver, which led to the mutiny of many guards and sergeants, this is the first thing to stabilize, the second expenditure is disaster relief, especially in Mengjin, Henan, because of the Yellow River breach, the loss is heavy, and it is urgent to get relief, and the third is the expenditure to exterminate the Liukou, The fourth item is the expenditure required for the defense of the post-treasury.

Just these four expenses have cost nearly 10 million taels of silver.

There are also some small expenditures, which are decided in the hands of the cabinet and the household department, such as the lack of office money in the department, etc., these things, the emperor will not ask about.

The most debated in the early dynasties was the choice of the imperial historian for disaster relief.

Both Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren opposed Zhongguan's disaster relief. This time, it was rare for them to unify their opinions, but the candidates proposed by the two were different, and Zhou Yanru preferred to send candidates from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was a common practice. On the one hand, disaster relief, on the other hand, you can supervise the disaster relief money, whether it can be used on the heads of the victims, Wen Tiren is inclined to send candidates from the ministry to inspect the officials below while providing disaster relief.

Both of them are thinking of sending out their henchmen.

The first and second assistants of the cabinet have put forward proposals, and the rest of the ministers, of course, will not have new proposals.

The ministers of disaster relief who will go to Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, and other places have already been decided. But the minister of disaster relief in Henan, the hardest-hit area, has not been able to settle down for a long time.

But the emperor never spoke, obviously negating the proposal of the two to go to Henan for disaster relief.

Disaster relief is like fighting fires, and it can't be delayed, after the early dynasty, the cabinet ministers and the six departments gave the matter, and they all went to the imperial palace, it seems. It is necessary to further unify the thinking and clarify the imperial history of all disaster relief.

Zhu Youzhen's heart. is thinking of letting Su Tiancheng serve as the imperial historian of Henan Disaster Relief Patrol, he believes in Su Tiancheng, as for Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren's respective opinions, clear-eyed people can understand that they are recommending their own henchmen.

Disaster relief is a chore, and it's an errand that everyone wants to fight for.

As a patrol sent by the imperial court. If you are serious about your work, you need to understand the situation and make decisions in person, and don't completely leave the local officials at the mercy of the money for disaster relief. If the work is perfunctory, it is completely possible to rely on local officials to complete the disaster relief work.

But in any case, disaster relief is a credit and can undoubtedly be rewarded.

The contradiction between the first assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet is well known to Zhu Youzhen.

He originally trusted Zhou Yanru very much, but many things that happened in the Hui Test and the Palace Test made him a little confused. Strictly speaking, political struggle is complicated, and no one can guarantee that in such a brutal struggle, political opponents will not be excluded. But when the facts were in front of him, he had to shake his previous thoughts.

Min Hongxue, the secretary of the ministry, and Chen Yuting, the imperial historian of the left capital, both suffered impeachment.

In fact, this impeachment involves the struggle between Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, Zhu Youzhen is clear, the facts that can be found out, Min Hongxue and Chen Yuting are indeed problematic, he has made up his mind not to favor any party, and both of them are dismissed, so that Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren should understand their intentions.

Huangji Palace, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are still arguing, for the sake of Henan disaster relief patrol according to the imperial history.

This argument between ministers has become a habit.

Half an hour passed, and the argument still didn't come to any conclusion.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help it, and finally spoke.

"Don't continue arguing, I see, Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, is responsible for the disaster relief in Henan."

Inside the Imperial Palace, there was a sudden silence.

No one thought that Su Tiancheng would be able to become the governor of Henan's disaster relief.

Zhou Yanru raised objections.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, Henan is the hardest hit area, Su Tiancheng served as the magistrate of Jiangning County, but for two months, he is not particularly familiar with many government affairs, disaster relief matters, involving all aspects, need to make a decision on the spot, if there is an accident, or if the time is delayed, it will miss a major event, it is difficult to show the emperor's good intentions, the minister still recommends the supervision of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go to the disaster relief."

Wen Tiren was much smarter, and when he found that Zhu Youzhen's expression was wrong, he immediately changed his words.

"The minister seconded the proposal, the minister thought that the emperor sent Su Tian to become the patrol of the imperial history of disaster relief, reflecting the good intentions, Su Tiancheng to Jiangning County only two months ago, reflecting the extraordinary ability, just said that the 32 million taels of silver in the warehouse this time are all dependent on Su Tiancheng's credit, the minister believes that Su Tiancheng went to Henan for disaster relief, and he will be able to do a good job."

Zhou Yanru turned his head to look at Wen Tiren, and in his eyes, he couldn't wait to breathe fire.

Disaster relief is a big thing, where can officials be dispatched at will, Su Tiancheng is too young, he has just taken office in Jiangning County, and he has little experience in politics, let alone doing such a big thing as disaster relief.

"The minister disagrees with Lord Wen's opinion, disaster relief is a big matter, how can it be child's play, not to mention that Su Tiancheng has just taken office, just say that there are many matters that need to be dealt with, Su Tiancheng may not understand, there is also a coordination place, central scheduling, without courage and experience, it is not good to do these things, Lord Wen does not know what the intentions of Lu Dao are."

"Lord Zhou is wrong, Su Tiancheng is in Jiangning County, two months, handed over 32 million taels of silver to the national treasury, try to ask the Manchu officials, who did it, besides, Su Tiancheng has shown extraordinary ability to deal with things that do not stick to the mud, so wise and brave, how can he not handle the disaster relief matters well, the lower officials think that the ambition is not old, the emperor proposed that Su Tiancheng serve as the governor of the imperial history, to deal with the disaster relief matters, is a wise proposal."

A smile appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face.

As long as there are cabinet ministers who agree with him, there is not much of a problem.

Faintly, he felt that Zhou Yanru was a little too arrogant, relying on his own trust, he was less and less able to understand his own hardships, while Wen Tiren was more able to understand his hardships.

"The minister who went to Henan for disaster relief is Su Tiancheng, don't discuss this matter anymore."

Su Tiancheng seemed more leisurely, and after arriving in the capital, he saw the emperor and had nothing else to do.

Chen Yutai, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Wu Weiye, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, were not in the capital, they all went out to inspect, saying that they were inspecting, but in fact, they mainly went down to understand the people's situation and prepare for the future acting government affairs. The two had just gone down, and before that, they had been impeached.

Su Tianhao took two days, and after the reunion of the two brothers, the scene was not so warm, it seemed that this strong family affection always lost its original flavor.

Su Tiancheng was full of confidence, thinking that he would soon be able to return to Jiangning County.

He would never have thought that he would actually become the governor of disaster relief, and he would go to Henan, the hardest-hit area.

On July 26, Su Tiancheng went to the Forbidden City again.

This time it's in the Imperial Palace.

Kneeling on the ground and listening to the holy decree, Su Tiancheng was a little enlightened, and was sent to Henan to provide disaster relief, which is not a good thing, such a thing as disaster relief looks simple, after going down, it is majestic, and the local officials are all going to listen to you. But if you really want to do a good job in disaster relief, there is no detailed planning, no follow-up development goals, just a quick look, thinking that if you send the money down, you will complete the task, which is a big mistake.

I have a lot of things to do, the edict of the Criminal Department has been sent to Jiangning County, and the results of the disposal of Kuang Siming's family have also come out, and all of them have been sent to Qiongzhou.

There are also those firearms, the most important thing is to keep all the ammunition, this thing, for the time being, I can't produce it, I can only spend silver to buy it.

The affairs of Guantian have not been fully implemented.

Kuang Siming's mansion and cultivated land, these are all things that need to be dealt with, those tenants are panicked, and they don't know what to do next, from the letters from Qu Qingze and Su Pingyang, Su Tiancheng has already known that some tenants have taken the initiative to hand over half of the grain to the county government, and they are worried that they will lose their cultivated land and the land they rely on for survival.

There is also the issue of the resettlement of the family members of the sergeants of the Inspection Division.

But now I have to go to Henan District for disaster relief, and it is estimated that it will be more than a month to go.

The holy decree was given, and he had no choice, but fortunately, in the Xiaoqi Battalion in Nanjing Jingying, follow him to Henan for disaster relief, and there is no need to doubt his safety.

When they left the Imperial Palace, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren's eyes were a little strange, probably because they didn't understand that the young Su Tiancheng, why could he become a patrol for disaster relief, could the emperor trust Su Tiancheng so much. (To be continued.) )
