Then dare to ask the emperor where the grain is collected from?" asked Taiwei Chen Yanbu. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

"Levy the grain of large households, you can now recommend people or self-nominations to be responsible for collecting grain, and the imperial court will give him enough power to act, and collect 400,000 stone grain within a month, and use this 400,000 stone grain as a reward for digging wells and repairing canals!"

"Okay, that's all for today, I'll come up with someone to choose when I go back in the evening, and I'll give it to me tomorrow!" said Suhe Jingshuo.

After the princes and courtiers all withdrew from the imperial study, Zhang Hongfei stayed.

"Lao Chen has an ideal candidate. Zhang Hongfei said.

Since Suhe Jingshuo questioned Zhang Hongfei in person, although he did not touch Zhang Hongfei at all, and he really executed An Shenghu in private, Zhang Hongfei was also depressed for a long time after that time. Didn't participate in the government well.

"Who?"

"King Rui. “

Suhe Jingshuo was stunned and asked, "Why him?"

"Back to the emperor, this is really a job to offend people, basically recommending whoever is harming whom. Zhang Hongfei said.

"Tsk, I know you old foxes are stuffy. If you don't speak one of them, you're afraid of offending people! Then why did you harm King Rui and put King Rui in this position?" Su He Jingshuo said without hesitation.

The emperor laughed, the old minister also seriously considered the recommendation made in the future, King Rui lost his mother at a young age, and practiced outside the palace, in this Nanyang City, he had the least relationship with the courtiers and the emperor's relatives, if he let other princes go, he would not be scruples because of his uncle's scruples, and King Rui was less involved with these people. It's easy to say anything. “

"And in the past few years, since King Rui has been involved in court politics, he has not had any trouble, and he is also heroic and resolute in the Northern Expedition, and he is very courageous. It is only such a person who can deter those royal relatives who have been sought after all their lives. Zhang Hongfei said with a debt.

"Actually, I was also thinking about King Rui just now, but I was worried that it would be difficult for him to do it without any background, so it seems that it is still a place to use, okay, it's him. Su He Jingshuo waved his pen and wrote an edict with a red pen.

The next day, Suhe Jingshuo issued an edict appointing Cheng Lianjin, the king of Rui, to levy grain to fight drought, and at the same time issued another edict, and King Jing was responsible for supervising the work and digging wells and repairing canals. There was an uproar in the court, and the two edicts of the emperor's favoritism made the weight of the two princes in his heart clear. The courtiers couldn't figure out who recommended it, and there were many courtiers who saw the joke among them.

"General, this is your recommendation. After the next dynasty, Su Hehan and Zhang Hongfei asked in parallel.

"That's right. “

"If this King Rui collects grain, it will be a great achievement in fighting drought. “

Zhang Hongfei said with a smile: "This is a contest between a person and most of the imperial court, most of the royal relatives and nobles, even if he can collect grain, those royal relatives and nobles can give him a good look?

Su Hehan nodded and said, "This holy decree is really worrying, so I'll oversee my well." This job of mine is really a job that can get merit immediately, and the general really has you this time. “

Zhang Hongfei put away his expression and said: "I want Yan Chengde, that old man, to see who can better understand the emperor's intentions, it is really an old man who has been in the dynasty for more than 30 years, and a dead An Shenghu can still hurt my muscles and bones." “

Rui Wangfu mileage Lianjin was laughing with the edict in front of him. A bitter mood emerged, after all these years, his weight in the emperor's heart was actually like this, it seems that the emperor still had doubts about his mother back then. It's because I don't love myself and don't feel sorry for what kind of resistance I will receive that I will send this errand to me.

Cheng Lianjin dropped the edict and walked to the wing, and as soon as he opened the door of the study, he saw Qin Muyao hesitating at the door of the study.

"Silversleeves has prepared dinner, and I'm about to call you. Qin Muyao pulled out a smile and said.

"Let's go. Cheng Lianjin took Qin Muyao's hand and said.

"I've got a bad idea for you. “

"No, that's good. Fundamentally solving the drought is a triple win. This result is not something you can control, and I didn't expect my father to push me forward like this, but it's okay, I've been constricting all these years, and it's time to show others my strength. Cheng Lianjin suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, it is not a day or two that Suhe Jingshuo doesn't love himself, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown himself out of the palace ten years ago.

Cheng Lianjin did not make any movement for several days after taking office, but took his attendants to visit the big households in Nanyang City and nearby counties.

In addition to mobilizing the people to dig wells, Su Hehan also took the officials of the Ministry of Industry to explore on the spot, measured the land for the construction of ditches, and conscripted 3,000 laborers. Immediately got up to work.

The people knew that there was a reward for digging wells and repairing canals, and they all supported them one after another, and the people in the towns and villages around Nanyang City were in full swing, and they had already drilled 100 wells in less than five days.

After watching the water gushing out of this hundred-eyed well, the people were very excited, and Su Hehan also looked at this hundred-eyed well with joy in his heart.

"Your Highness, I said that we have drilled a hundred wells here, when will the food be rewarded? A township chief took the lead and asked.

"There's no rush. The emperor ordered that all the wells and canals be repaired and rewarded to everyone!" Su Hehan smiled and said, "You see that we have this water, let's recover the crops slowly first, and then the grain of the court will come." Everyone's crops have also risen, and that is a double harvest. “

It was rare for the people to see such an approachable official, and they all happily continued to explore, surveying, and preparing to dig wells and repair canals.

There has been no movement on Cheng Lianjin's side, but he was in a hurry, Jingping was a grain department assigned by the emperor to Cheng Lianjin. Assisted Cheng Lianjin in collecting grain together.

"Your Highness, King Jing has already drilled a hundred wells, and if the wells are finished, the canal will be repaired. This grain has not been collected yet, and there will be no way to explain it to the people when the time comes. Jing Ping admonished.

"Okay, then let's go to Qianjing County tomorrow first. Cheng Lianjin replied casually.

"Qianjing?!" Jing Ping asked rhetorically, thinking that it was Chengguogong's territory.

As he was talking, several people came to a high-rise mansion compound, Huang Yiding looked at Cheng Lianjin's face and said, "This is Chengguo Gong Liu Shijia." “

Cheng Lianjin said "um" and said, "Go knock on the door." “

Jingping was just about to step up the steps, Huang Yiding grabbed Jingping, and said to Cheng Lianjin with a smile: "This is the family of Liu Shijia, the Duke of Chengguo." "Huang Yiding's meaning is already very clear, such a relative doesn't need to go to the grain collection.

Cheng Lianjin glanced at Huang Yiding and said: "It turns out that this is how the Huang County Order collects grain, and it is the king of his family who has become the prince of the country who wants to collect grain!"

Huang Yiding saw that Cheng Lianjin was more serious, so he had to take a few steps forward and knock on the door.

In the courtyard, Liu Shi was having lunch, and the pot-bellied Liu Shi was sitting at the table, and a large table of delicacies from the mountains and seas was placed on the table. Liu Shi's concubine only found out that she was pregnant a few days ago, and it was the time to pick her mouth.

"Come, try this roast duck, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just right for you to replenish your body at this time. Liu Shi picked up a duck leg and put it in the concubine's bowl. This concubine is more than 20 years younger than Liu Shi, and she is beautiful, Liu Shi was very fond of her after marrying her home the year before last, and she relied on her for everything after knowing that the concubine was pregnant a few days ago.

"Phew, what's so greasy. How to eat it. The concubine took a bite of the duck meat and spit it out.

"Yes, yes, it's too oily, come and try this white chopped chicken, the new chef's specialty, this is not greasy. Liu Shi saw that the concubine was unhappy, and immediately asked people to withdraw the roast duck in front of him.

"Here, here's something for you. The concubine threw the remaining duck legs in the bowl on the ground, and the watchdog in Liu's mansion ran over happily wagging his tail.

"Master Qiyu, Huang County's order has come to collect grain again. Then a family member ran in and said.

Liu Shi put down his chopsticks and said impatiently: "Why is this Huang Yiding here again." Sent away, eating and ruining his appetite. “

Jia Ding said hesitantly: "This time it is not only Huang Yiding, but His Royal Highness King Rui is also here." “

Liu was very surprised, and hurriedly asked the family to remove a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas. pushed his flower-like concubine into the inner courtyard, and called out his original wife, and replaced the table with a few pitiful pickles.

In a panic, Cheng Lianjin had already walked in, and Liu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Cheng Lianjin returned the salute and said: "The little nephew came to collect grain this time in accordance with the emperor's grain edict. “

Liu Shiyi pulled Cheng Lianjin to the dining table, and said with a sad face: "Your Highness doesn't know, the harvest in the field last year was not good, the family had a large population, and the army rations were collected a few days ago. As a national relative, I will definitely contribute to the army, so I handed over the only 100 loads of grain left in the granary, and now the house can only eat some pickles and drink porridge to survive. “

Cheng Lianjin looked at the pickles on the table with some surprise and sighed: "Cheng Guogong is so simple?"

Huang Yiding said on the side: "Chengguo Gong's family is diligent and thrifty, according to the provisions of the grain requisition order, Chengguo Gong should have levied 500 stone of grain, but after coming a few days ago, he thought that he couldn't levy 500 stones." “

Cheng Lianjin suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Huang County Order has come, the Huang County Order is so for the sake of Cheng Guogong, I don't know how many benefits Cheng Guogong has given you." “

Liu Shi's face changed, and his voice raised a few degrees and said, "I don't know what His Highness means?"

"This king is just a little puzzled, Chengguo Gong lives so simply, and lives with his family pickles and porridge, why is the dog in the house gnawing on duck legs. Cheng Lianjin pointed to the dog under the table that was feasting and said.

Liu Shi was so frightened that his face turned like earth, and he immediately lost his arrogance just now.

Cheng Lianjin turned his head and shouted at Huang Yiding: "I didn't expect you to dare to deceive your little county order, is this how you do things for the imperial court?"

Huang Yiding's soles were weak, and he knelt in front of Cheng Lianjin and hurriedly kowtowed: "Lord Wang, you should be considerate and considerate of the small, the small county order, even the domestic slaves of the big families are higher than the lower officials, do the lower officials dare to ask for grain?"

Cheng Lianjin waved his sleeves and said: "Since you don't dare to levy grain, what use do you want, if you don't dare to levy grain, I will find some people who dare to levy grain, and your official hat will be taken off by this king now!"

Huang Yiding kowtowed and said: "Lord Wang, which of the several counties near Nanyang City is not like this, here the imperial relatives and relatives are pinching a bunch of county orders that dare to collect grain, why do you just hold the small one." “
