"What are you going to do?"

The old man thought that the third master was going to talk about the household department, but he didn't expect the third master to ask for a decree to go to Henan for disaster relief, which was quite unexpected, but after thinking about it, the household affairs can be slowed down, but the disaster relief can not be delayed at all.

"Back to the emperor's words, the sons think that disaster relief and embankment fixing seem to be two things, but in fact, two and one, if the embankment is not solid, it will still be difficult to protect in the coming year, the two things should be done together, the sons are willing to take care of the matter, willing to ask the emperor Ama for permission."

The third master came prepared, and he was very impassioned in dealing with it, and he did not hesitate to take over the two extremely difficult tasks together, and he really had the heroic spirit of tens of millions of people.

"Huang Ma Fa is above, and the grandson is willing to go with his father, and please ask Huang Ma Fa to grant permission!"

As soon as the third master's words fell, and without waiting for the old man to say anything, Hongqing, who was originally kneeling in the crowd, had already moved, walked a few steps on his knees, came to the side of the third master, and followed the petition with an excited expression.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good for your father and son to have this heart, but now the treasury is empty, and it is difficult for me to wait for you to wait for a full amount of silver, this matter may not be easy, do you have any regulations?"

The old man didn't sleep all night last night, and he was worried about this disaster relief and embankment fixing, and he knew how difficult these two things were in the absence of a full amount of silver.

"If you return to Huang Ama, your sons also know that the current treasury is in difficulty, and they dare not ask for the full amount of silver, but there are three things to ask for: first, I implore Huang Ama to exempt Henan from the taxes of Jinming; second, it can give the retainers the authority to control the yamen of the governor of Henan and the river; Third, I implore the emperor to allocate 1,200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 stones of grain for disaster relief and embankment fixing, and ask the requisite ministers to exchange salt for the rest of the shortfall. ”

The third master kowtowed heavily, and with tears in his eyes, he listed the conditions he asked for one by one, and the words described were exactly what Hongqing said yesterday, of course, this is only a part, but the most critical core of operation has not been explicitly stated.

"Salt lead?"

Since the opening of the Qing Dynasty, there was only the rebellion of the three feudatories, in order to raise military expenses and sell some, the three feudatories were flattened, and they were canceled, in order to ensure that the country's taxes were not lost.

"Huang Ama, this matter must not be allowed, the benefits of salt and iron are the fundamental taxes of the country, once this case is opened, there will be endless troubles!"

"Huang Ama, please be cautious, this case can't be opened lightly!"

"Huang Ama, although disaster relief is urgent, the weight of the comparable country is very different, don't lose the big because of the small, and ask the emperor Ama to make a decision."

……

The elder brothers didn't want to see the third master succeed, but when they saw the old man hesitated, they all came to the end, not only the ninth master and others shouted happily, but even the fourth master also coaxed, and those courtiers who were close to the eighth master were not far behind, and the opposition was mixed for a while.

"Hmm!"

It's good that everyone didn't shout, but under such a shout, the old man became angry, waved his hand impatiently, and snorted heavily, which suddenly made everyone who was shouting all dumb.

"Yinzhi, in your opinion, how much salt does it take to get it done?"

The old man's most hated thing in his life is the demolition of the stage, seeing that a group of brothers don't see anyone when they are doing things, they are more energetic than one another, and they are really hot, but at this moment, it is inconvenient to overturn a boatload of people with a rod, and after stopping everyone's shouting, he didn't say any more, looked at the third master with blazing eyes, and asked with a cautious expression.

"If you go back to Huang Ama, 2.6 million catties of salt will be enough to apply, and you will also ask Huang Ama to complete it."

The third master has already passed the general ledger, and he knows what the bottom limit of the old man is, and he will come out at this time, so he seems quite confident.

"Two million pounds? Well, I'm on it! ”

The old man is a practical person, and he knows the price of salt from time to time, and after a little calculation, he saw that the cost was only more than 800,000 taels of silver, which was 1.5 million taels more than the cost of 2.3 million taels of embankment for ten years proposed by Hongqing, and even if the grain and straw proposed by the third master were more than 180,000 stones, he could still save more than 1 million taels of silver, and this transaction was done in the past.

"Son-in-law, Emperor Xie Amalon!"

As soon as he heard that the old man had approved his own invitation, the third master's hanging heart could be regarded as falling to the ground, and he hurriedly thanked him.

"Well, you must remember that not only the victims of the disaster need to be relieved, but the matter of strengthening the embankment must not be neglected, at least I must be guaranteed ten years without loss, otherwise, be careful of your skin!"

The old man must have played accurately, but in his heart he still didn't feel at ease, and his words were quite harsh.

"Huang Ama rest assured, the sons and daughters will strictly follow the teachings of Huang Ama and never dare to make mistakes!"

As soon as he heard the old man's words, the third master couldn't care about being excited, and hurriedly kowtowed his head heavily, and made a sincere promise.

"Well, that's fine, does Qing'er have anything to say?"

The old man still trusts the third master's ability to do things, and when he heard the third master say this, his uneasy heart calmed down a little, and he didn't talk about it anymore, but glanced sideways at Hongqing, and asked in a flat tone.

"If you go back to Huang Ma Fa, your grandson also has two requests, one is to ask Huang Ma Fa to allow your grandson to mobilize some people from the river yamen to participate in the embankment fixing; The second is to ask the grandson to chase the arrears of the river yamen over the years, so as to use the embankment, if there are these two articles, the grandson should be brave enough to undertake the important task of fixing the embankment, and also ask the emperor to complete it. ”

Originally, even if the old man didn't ask, Hongqing had to make a request, and when the old man asked, it would be in Hongqing's arms, how could there be a reason not to hurry up the pole, and one mouth was two conditions that would pop out.

"Hmm, if you dare to undertake the ten-year embankment, I will be approved."

The old man has been in power for more than 40 years, almost every two or three years, the Yellow River has to burst once, either Henan has a problem, or Shandong has been flooded, the money to control the river has long been filled in, but has never seen a big effect, there is no doubt that this unstoppable Yellow River has long become a piece of the old man's heart disease, at this time I heard Hongqing say so confident, but really interested, this is a reverse.

"The grandson is willing to be a military order!"

Hongqing is actually not proficient in the matter of governing the river, but he knows where the proficient person is, and he knows it in his heart, so he does not panic, and he accepts it proudly.

"Hahaha...... Okay, this will, Huang Ma Fa gave it, if the time comes, if the river can't be cured, Huang Ma Fa will take your little ass and ask! ”

Seeing that Hongqing's childish face was full of seriousness, the old man was in a good mood, and laughed and teased Hongqing.

"Grandson obeys, thank Emperor Mafaronen!"

Hongqing had long thought that he could have the opportunity to be on his own, and when he heard the old man play, he was excited, but as for those threatening words, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and thanked him loudly.

"Well, I'll see."

The old man was obviously very satisfied with the performance of the third master's father and son, and the two biggest troubles of disaster relief and embankment fixing had been settled, and his mood improved greatly, and he didn't say any more, waved his hand, signaled the third master's father and son to retreat, and then glanced at the panicked March, and nodded with a solemn face: "March!" ”

"Wechen is here!"

was interrupted by the third master father and son before, Ma Qi was glad that he might be able to escape, but he didn't expect the old man to suddenly turn back, and the body lying on the ground couldn't help but tremble, but he was helpless, so he could only respond hard.

"The treasury is in charge of the Ministry of Households, and now it owes so much, how does the secretary plan to compare, but is there a charter?"

Although his mood has improved a lot, the old man does not plan to postpone the matter of the deficit of the treasury further, and he is already determined to solve it today at the same time, so he will not pay attention to March's embarrassment and embarrassment, and asked with a cold face.

"This ......"

Ma Qi was acting with the old man today, but he didn't expect that the play would become a real trend, seeing that such a hot potato was about to be covered in his arms, Ma Qi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he really didn't know what to explain for a while.

"Huh?"

The old man didn't know that this matter was not Ma Qi's fault, and this kind of heavy responsibility for chasing comparisons was not something that Ma Qi, a scholar, could afford, and after all, he had to have a powerful brother come forward to do it, but the matter was big and the involvement was extremely wide, even if the old man was the emperor, it was not good to force this matter on the head of the brothers, so he had no choice but to take the innocent Ma Qi to do it first.

"Huang Ama is above, and the sons have a plan to play!"

The cold in the old man's cold voice was amazingly thick, not only Ma Qi was shocked, but also the courtiers kneeling on the side were also shocked into a cold sweat, and they were all silent for a while, and they didn't even dare to gasp casually.

"Buzz ......"

Yes, as soon as the fourth master came out like this, the ministers below rioted again, not for anything else, just because the big guys had faintly guessed the intentions of the fourth master at this time, and then thought of the ruthlessness of this guy, and the courtiers who owed the treasury and silver couldn't help but feel cold.
