Chapter 54: Saving Life and Dying
Du Ruhui's heart trembled, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
2.1 million guan, if you want to get through this hurdle smoothly, it will cost at least one million guan, which is not the previous petty fights, but two million guan of real money.
Except for the emperor, no minister in the entire Sui Dynasty can have such a big stroke, and now that this record is about to be broken by himself, Du Ruhui also feels a little crazy.
Lying on the table, he checked it again, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, Du Ru came to Yang Yu in front of him and handed over the fold without saying a word.
Yang Yu took it, thought it was an ordinary excerpt, and opened it to read.
The excerpt confessed as always, and when Yang Yu set his eyes on the most rear, his gaze couldn't help but stare.
"Two million and one hundred thousand!" Yang Yu subconsciously glanced at Du Ruhui.
Without waiting for Du Ruhui to answer, he took his peacock feather and began to calculate.
Du Ruyan wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to defend himself a few words, but saw that His Royal Highness the Acting King did not take care of him, so he had to stop there.
The room fell silent, except for the rustling of paper and pens.
Looking at Yang Yu's rapid calculations, Du Ruhui couldn't help but be curious, and now the entire officialdom knows that His Royal Highness the Acting King of Dao is an arithmetic genius.
It's one thing to hear about it, it's another thing to see it with your own eyes, His Royal Highness doesn't need an abacus, just a piece of paper and a pen.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yang Yu had already completed the calculation, and Du Ruhui secretly glanced at it, two million one hundred thousand seven thousand five hundred and sixty.
After coming to the Disaster Relief Division, Du Ruhui also worked hard to learn Tianzhu numbers, although he can't do the arithmetic now, he has already known these numbers, and there are ten hundred thousand.
Looking at the long string of numbers, Du Ruyan knew that this was the same as his own calculations, and even more accurate than his own.
The shock in Du Ruhui's heart is beyond words, this is a day and a night of hard work, and His Royal Highness the Acting King completed it in a quarter of an hour, which is too against the sky!
Yang Yu stopped, looked at his calculated figures, and Du Ruhui's actual numbers, and said bluntly: "Taking out two million and one million yuan at one time is too much, and the ministers of the court will not agree!" ”
Although the Disaster Relief Department is independent of the imperial court, if it really comes up with more than 2 million yuan at one time, it is estimated that the minister will have to surround him again.
When Du Ruhui heard Yang Yu's words, he was not worried but happy. Because he heard that His Royal Highness had no objection.
Since His Royal Highness the Acting King has no objection, it means that everything is still turning around.
Du Ruhui took out a fold from his arms and handed it to Yang Yu.
Weichen also knew that it was a bit unbelievable to take two million at one time. So Wechen made a new ....... ”
Yang Yuha smiled, and he didn't care about Du Ruhui's little tricks. Open it and read it carefully.
"Installment payment!" Yang Yoo's tone was filled with joy.
Du Ruhui said: "Wechen found that many large-scale projects have a long construction period, and there is no need to allocate money at one time, and the Disaster Relief Department can allocate funds in sections, as long as the funds are uninterrupted, the project will not be affected." In this way, we can pay a part of the money first, and we can start the project, which is about 700,000 yuan! ”
In this era, grants are generally issued in full at one time, which not only takes up a large amount of funds, but also easily leads to embezzlement and misappropriation.
Therefore, most of the later generations adopted the method of installment appropriation, first make a budget, and then release the money as the construction period progresses.
"700,000 guan!" Yang Yu thought for a while, nodded in agreement, "You make a budget first, and then follow it"
"Budget." Du Ruhui asked suspiciously.
Yang Yu told Du Ruhui about the meaning and benefits of the budget.
When Du Ruhui heard this, he praised convincingly: "His Royal Highness the Acting King is indeed a genius of the heavens. ”
The two praised each other for a while, and then Du Ruhui turned around and left, going to prepare the budget that His Royal Highness the Acting King said.
Seeing that Du Ruhui had just left, Yang Yu pressed a button beside him, and Wang Xi appeared in the room like a ghost.
Yang Yu threw Du Ruhui's fold to Wang Xi and instructed: "Go outside and spread the news that the Disaster Relief Department is going to spend two million and ten times to stabilize the displaced people." ”
"Yes." His Royal Highness the Acting King
Wang Xi took the fold, didn't ask what the reason was, and then disappeared into the corner.
"Two million 1,000,000,000,"
The dull and depressed Daxing City is like throwing a boulder into a moment, stirring up a thousand waves.
Anyone who heard the news couldn't help but exclaim.
That's too much to do! Such a single huge sum of money only appeared a few times in the entire Great Sui Dynasty, and that was during the construction of the Grand Canal and the Three Expeditions to Goryeo.
Everyone believed the news and couldn't believe it, but they had to believe it, because the news was spread in too much detail, and even Du Ruhui was going to open a clear picture of what projects he was going to open.
According to the analysis of those talented volunteers who have been dealing with Du Ruhui for a long time, the result is that the entire source is indeed from Du Ruhui, but it is unknown whether His Royal Highness the Acting King has approved it.
There is also gossip that Du Ruhui was happy when he walked out of the door of His Royal Highness the Acting King.
The silence of the Disaster Relief Department and the Daxing Palace contributed to the authenticity of the news.
In Daxing City, ordinary people were talking about it, and officials were silent.
There is another type of person who is the craziest, and that is the merchant.
Two million guan is a big business, even if it leaks a fraction, it can make them eat a lot of money.
At the same time, there are 200,000 people with food, clothing, and housing, and these are all big business.
The Lu family.
Lu Jitong walked around the room anxiously, and shouted at his son: "Send people, send people to me, and buy food for me with all my might." ”
Since Lu Jitong was relieved by His Royal Highness the Acting King and kept his family property, he can be described as blindly following Yang Yu's trust, and according to his inference, the probability of this news is almost 80%.
The basis for his judgment was different from others, not because of how reliable the source was, but because of who saw Du Ruhui with his own eyes. Instead, I think that there is a strong love for the people in the content of this news, which is the style of His Royal Highness the Acting King.
He is not the only one who has insight, and almost all businessmen who are a little keen-eyed are aware of the arrival of business opportunities.
Recruit workers and expand production.
Prepare a day in advance, you can seize a head start, those 'workers' who came to Daxing from Feng Yijun just arrived in Daxing, and they were snatched up by the merchants. If you're willing to do it, you'll be able to get a job.
Those who started late had to pay a high price and hire local people from Gyeongzhao County to do the work.
All of a sudden, the whole Daxing was in a state of excitement.
Just when the first batch of displaced people in Luoyang arrived in Tongguan, a group of fast horses sent the news of Yuwenshu's death.
The death of the first celebrity around Yang Guang would be a great event in normal times, but it only caused a little ripple in Jingzhao County, and then it was thrown into the corner.
Even Daxing Palace symbolically sent a letter of condolence, not to mention others.
Everyone is watching the news of the displaced people. It's a matter of life and death for them.
Compared with the survival of nearly 200,000 people and the death of a high-ranking official, no one knows how to choose.
