Chapter 241: The Dust King Strikes Sharply
Ye Wenyan opened her eyes in a daze, Xiangdong lifted the tent and sat on the edge of her couch, and said softly: "Today, the reconstruction of the inner city of Lin'an has officially begun, and many craftsmen from the outer city have arrived. The small official outside the door conveyed the meaning of Lord Yin, saying that the fourth lady had made great contributions in this field, whether it was the inner city or the outer city, they were grateful for the kindness of the fourth young lady. Today, the inner city is rebuilt, and I hope that Miss Four can take a walk on the street and take a look at the inner city under renovation. ”
Ye Wenyan nodded, it was time to go out, not only to see the post-disaster reconstruction, but mainly because she got Lin'an Mansion to go to Lin'an Mansion and ask the three highnesses what the six mountain deeds were worth, so she could give the silver.
So she got up, washed and changed her clothes, and then Xiangdong combed her hair, and used the breakfast brought in by Shen'er. After that, I heard Xiangdong say to Shen'er: "You and Mama Ji should go out with Miss!" I stayed to watch the house. ”
Ye Wenyan thought for a while and said, "Let's go together!" There is nothing going on at home either. Xiangdong was very happy.
There is a carriage waiting outside the gate of the mansion, which is the car of the yamen of Lin'an Mansion. Seeing that Ye Wenyan came out of the mansion with three servants, the little official immediately stepped forward and saluted her with a smile: "The little one has seen the fourth miss, and I ask the fourth miss for peace." ”
The porter of the night family also stepped forward and asked her if she wanted to take the carriage in the house.
Ye Wenyan said: "Remember to tell my mother, just say that I will go around the street, please don't worry about her." ”
The porter immediately responded, and his attitude was very respectful.
The petty official invited her into the carriage, and he followed the carriage to walk outside. Ye Wenyan lifted the curtain to talk to him and asked, "How many craftsmen have come from the outer city?" Did you come here this morning? ”
The official replied: "I came early in the morning, more than 300 people came, and there will be another batch in two days, so that the inner city can be cleaned up and ordered in ten days." ”
"What about the wages of the craftsmen?"
The little official laughed when he heard this, "Lord Fu Yin said, Sister Sibu will definitely ask like this." You can rest assured that the wages of the craftsmen are paid by the imperial court, but it is limited to restoring each family to its original appearance. Whoever wants to take this opportunity to knock on the imperial court, once discovered, will cut the official and remove the knight, drive out of the inner city, and never enter. ”
She nodded, "That's fine, craftsmen can't work for nothing." "As for the loss of the treasury, it is not necessary to take care of the Moon Country, then there is no need to feel distressed.
The inner city was being rebuilt, and the carriage couldn't go fast, and it didn't go far before it stopped. The official said: "Fourth Miss, just get off here, the front is all working, and the carriage can't get in." ”
Ye Wenyan got out of the car with the servant and walked forward with the official. Along the way, she met many acquaintances, some of whom were injured in the outer city who had been treated by her, and some of whom were relatives of the injured.
When people saw Ye Wenyan coming, they stopped what they were doing and were about to kowtow to her, she waved her hand again and again to stop her, and at the same time told them: "The court paid the money to invite you to come to the inner city to work, and doing your part is the right thing to do, and you don't need to thank me again and again." When you see me, nod your head and smile, that's the best courtesy for me. ”
The people were very happy, changed kowtowing to bowing, and the night Wen Yan was accepted one by one.
The junior official said: "These craftsmen all got up early in the morning, and they have been working for almost two hours. At first, the people of the inner city looked down on them, thinking that the people of the outer city were poor and were born to do hard labor. But later I found that the craftsmen in the outer city built the house very quickly, the craftsmanship was good, and the people were real, not poor workers and not slippery, but only thinking about repairing the house strongly, and then catching up with the progress, so as not to let the court pay too much silver, and the people in the inner city gradually changed their impression. ”
As he spoke, he walked forward with Ye Wenyan, passed by the doors of several official residences, pointed and said: "Fourth Miss, you see, these official families have taken the initiative to boil water in the mansion and bring it out, some have tea leaves in it, and some have sugar in it, whether they are working at home or in other homes, they can take a bowl and drink it when they are thirsty." There are also people who make dim sum buns and boiled eggs, and although the government has set up a tent to cook the rice, people are still willing to prepare some of their own, so that hungry people can eat at any time. ”
When a craftsman on the side of the road heard this, he smiled and said, "There are sugar steamed buns in the nobleman's house, which are particularly delicious." ”
The official also smiled, and then said to Ye Wenyan: "This is all the credit of the fourth young lady, if it weren't for the fourth young lady who punished the Li family, and also punished the five-grade official who went to the night mansion to make trouble, I am afraid that the people in the inner city are still grateful to the Li family for their hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and they are all holding a shelf, thinking that they are golden and noble, and the people in the outer city are not worthy of talking to them." and the injury he suffered when the earth dragon turned over, it was also because the fourth lady gave the pill that he got better so quickly. Although the pill was begged for by the emperor at the General's Mansion, the emperor also said that it was the fourth lady who had the world in mind, so she would take out the pill regardless of her previous suspicions. ”
When the little official said this, he remembered something: "The stone lion at the gate of the general's mansion hasn't been replaced yet, right?" This is a big deal, and the small one will be ordered to go down and fight a new pair quickly. ”
Ye Wenyan thought for a while, and said to Shen'er: "Remember, the general's mansion beats the stone lion, and this silver can't be let out of the imperial court, so the five-grade official has to come out." You do this, and you must give me the money and ask for it. ”
When the official heard this, he smiled, "Fourth Miss, you have a really good personality. ”
Ye Wenyan also laughed, "People have always called me a witch, and there are really few people who say that I have a good personality." ”
The group continued on, turning onto a new street, when they heard someone talking loudly in front of them.
It seems to be an adult, forty-five or sixteen years old, standing in a pile of new bricks and saying to a group of craftsmen: "Everyone has their own strengths, everyone has a different division of labor, as long as they are contributing to the Northern Qi Dynasty, they are worthy of respect, regardless of whether they are high or low." Although you have come from the outer city, you are here to help the people of the inner city restore the original order of life faster and better. It was we who took the initiative to ask for help from the outer city, and I heard that you were able to come here in such a short time in order to help us as soon as possible, working day and night in the outer city. For this, every one of us in the inner city is grateful. On behalf of all the officials in Beijing, I would like to thank you today. ”
People applauded in unison, and the craftsmen excitedly kowtowed to the right minister, and the right minister stepped forward to help each other one by one: "You don't have to kneel to your own side, this minister has said that we are all equal, and today you are the ones who respect." ”
The craftsmen in the outer city were very happy to hear this, and the sensible officials and relatives in the inner city also expressed their positions, saying that everyone was the same.
Of course, it is inevitable that there are still many people who still look down on people from outside the city, but they don't dare to refute the face of the right minister in person, so they have to accompany the smiling face and thank the craftsmen from the outside city for doing things for them.
The right minister exchanged a few more words with the craftsmen, and then he withdrew from the pile of bricks. He looked back at Ye Wenyan and handed over a good-natured smile. Ye Wenyan leaned over and saluted, and said, "I've seen the right minister, greet the lord." ”
Lord Right Xiang walked a few steps forward quickly, stretched out his hand to help, "Miss Yesi quickly excuse me." On behalf of the imperial court, the prime minister came out to inspect and say a few more words to the craftsmen, which made the fourth lady smile. ”
Ye Wenyan hurriedly said: "Lord Right Prime Minister will torment me if he talks like this, I'm just a little girl, you are the prime minister of the dynasty, these words are naturally right, how can there be any laughter." ”
The right minister waved his hand, "Neither is it either, the identity of the prime minister is pressed down, and naturally he can afford to say anything to the people." But today can have such a situation, the outer city can recover so quickly, and the inner city can also become orderly and stable after a short period of chaos, everyone knows that this is the credit of Miss Fourth Night, and it is just a few words of scene through the credit of Miss Four, which is really not worth mentioning. ”
"Adults are too modest, and they take me too seriously." Ye Wenyan didn't dare to take credit, "Even if it's a scene, these words have to be the best for you, an adult." The position is there, only if you say it, can you represent the court, can you be inspiring, and you can also suppress those officials and relatives who think otherwise. ”
The right minister still waved his hand, "Each performs its own duties, each performs its own duties." Four Miss Please! He made a gesture of inviting forward, and Ye Wen politely leaned over, and walked forward first.
A servant followed behind with the little official, and the right minister walked side by side with her, and said as he went: "The matter of the earth dragon turning over has made a lot of noise, and at first everything was said. Some people say that it is the new emperor's son who ascends the throne, which is unlucky. Some people also say that it was Miss Night Fourth who annoyed the heavens by dancing the Fire Phoenix Dance at the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet. But none of these are as convincing as the second earth dragon turning over at the gate of the General's Mansion. The imperial court took this opportunity to punish a group of officials, and this matter was done by His Royal Highness the Fourth, and the means were neat, and there was no trace of affection. ”
He smiled bitterly when he said this, "There is really nothing to talk about, His Royal Highness has been away from Beijing for many years, and there is not much friendship left with any family." The emperor chose to let him do this, and he must have taken a fancy to this. It's just that as a result, the number of officials in Beijing has decreased sharply, plus those who were seriously injured at the palace banquet and those who were injured when the earth dragon turned over, and now there are very few people who can go to court. Miss Four said, is this a good thing or a bad thing? ”
Ye Wenyan's face was calm, and he couldn't see any emotion. The right minister asked her and replied: "If the emperor can hold it, it's good, if he can't hold it, it's not necessarily bad." ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Why can't it hold on and isn't necessarily bad? ”
She said again: "If you can't hold on, you can only invite the regent again, so Xiangye thinks this is good or bad?" ”
The right minister was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, if you hold on, the emperor will be in power, which is naturally good for some people." If you can't hold on, you can only ask the regent back, so for the other people, this is also good. The two sides are open, so no matter how you look at it, it can't be considered bad. I have known the old general for many years, but I only know that the fourth lady is quite similar to your grandfather, but I don't know that this little girl of yours has such knowledge. ”
