Two hundred pounds of millet rice!

With these two hundred catties of millet, the impact of this drought will be minimized.

Although life is still not too easy, it is impossible to starve people to death.

"What a big deal!"

With the financial resources of Anshun County, it is impossible to have such a big deal, so there must be someone else behind this matter.

When Xu Laosan came back from the county school in the afternoon, he also brought a message from Zuoqiu that he asked him to bring back.

These two hundred catties of millet were donated to the imperial court by the Zhao family in the capital, and the second master of Zhao came forward. Not only Anshun County, but all the drought-stricken places in Xiangyi Province have received such donations.

"Crazy!"

Knowing that behind this was his little uncle who had many eyes like a sieve, and Old Man Xu's first reaction was that his little uncle had gone crazy.

Although the Zhao family is rich, it is known as the richest country.

But for such a large-scale disaster relief, the amount of money donated is not something that Old Man Xu can count anyway.

"It doesn't make sense at all!"

Old Man Xu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't understand what his little uncle was planning.

With Old Man Xu's understanding of the Zhao family, they do things, every move, word and deed, they all have a plan. Every effort they make, they are hungry for some kind of return.

This time, it will certainly be no exception.

"Boss, what do you want to do so much? No matter what he's up to, it's not something we can stop! ”

Mrs. Xu's words really hit the nail on the head.

Old Man Xu was a little embarrassed, because the moment he was pointed out by his daughter-in-law, he suddenly realized that he was just eating salty radishes and worrying about it.

……

At this time, the capital.

In the renovated Qiantian Palace, Emperor Yongping is summoning Zhao Bingjun, the head of the Zhao family in the capital, and also the brother of Zhao Bingzhi.

The Zhao family paid money to buy such a large amount of rice and grain, and donated all of it to the imperial court to relieve the drought in Xiangyi Mansion.

As the emperor, Emperor Yongping is also quite confused.

He naturally knew the wealth of the Zhao family.

Once, Emperor Yongping also thought of the idea of fighting the Zhao family.

But in the end, he gave up on it.

Because, although this method can fill the treasury for a while, it is very detrimental to the rule of the imperial court. And most importantly, this method can easily solve the financial constraints of the imperial court, and Emperor Yongping is worried that he will lose the courage to face difficulties and take shortcuts in case of trouble.

After all, in addition to the Zhao family, after receiving the wealth of the Zhao family, after a few years, there will be another rich family that can rival the country.

If the emperor only wants to fill the treasury in this way, then the dynasty will not be far from falling.

In the end, Emperor Yongping curbed his greed, and with his own efforts, the court and the world were governed in an orderly manner, and the silver deposit in the treasury increased year by year.

This time the drought in Xiangyi Mansion, even if there is no Zhao family's action, the imperial court can cope with it, and it will not cause the tragic scene twenty years ago.

But now, the Zhao family has taken out such a large sum of silver, and they have directly used the silver to buy enough rice and grain, which can really be regarded as being in a hurry.

For this reason, Emperor Yongping specially asked the chamberlain to invite Zhao Bingjun, the eldest master of the Zhao family, into the palace.

Compared with Zhao Bingjun's eyes like a sieve, Zhao Bingjun has a bit of a dignified meaning.

"So, you don't know about it?"

Emperor Yongping was stunned.

With such a large amount of money transferred, Zhao Bingjun, who is the head of the Zhao family, actually knows nothing, and Emperor Yongping is really hard to believe.

"Back to the saints, the grass people really don't know."

"The business of the grass people's family has been in charge of the younger brother many years ago!"

"Although the grass people are the heads of their families, they are no longer involved in the management of these businesses. It's just that I'm responsible for the sacrifices within the clan and the teaching of future generations, and then it's the land of my Zhao clan, and it's also the grass people who take care of it! ”

"You're separated?"

Emperor Yongping was stunned, according to what Zhao Bingjun said, the situation of the Zhao family is clearly a separation.

"Back to the saint, the grass people did not separate from their brothers."

"It's just that the grass people and the younger brothers have their own duties."

Zhao Bingjun answered Emperor Yongping's question very calmly.

Emperor Yongping finally had to accept the fact that Zhao Bingjun really didn't know anything about this. No, it's not that he doesn't know anything, at least Emperor Yongping knows that the person who specifically handled this matter is named Zhao Rui.

So, Zhao Bingjun was sent out of the palace, and Zhao Rui was summoned to the palace.

"The grass people knock on my emperor and the saint!"

Zhao Rui entered the Qiantian Hall and knelt down.

A very young image of a grass man who has never seen much of the world.

"Get up and speak!"

Emperor Yongping stared at Zhao Rui, who was bowing to the ground, for a long time before he slowly spoke.

Zhao Rui immediately stood up, looked at Emperor Yongping respectfully, opened his mouth in a loud voice, and said, "Grass people thank the saint!" ”

This voice was a little loud, which shocked Emperor Yongping a little depressed.

"I can hear you, I don't need to be so loud."

"Yes!"

Zhao Rui hurriedly responded, looking sincerely frightened.

"I called you here to ask you, Zhao Bingzhi asked you to buy grain to give to the court, what reward do you want?"

"Back to the Holy One!"

Zhao Rui spoke again, still with a loud voice, but soon he looked like he had made a mistake, and his voice lowered.

"The second master of my family knew that the only son of my eldest lady was still alive, so he took the villain to find him."

"It's just that the second master of my family is old, he was too excited, he accidentally fell and injured his muscles and bones, and now he is still recuperating in Anshun County and can't move."

"At present, there is a big drought in Anshun County, and the second master of my family asked the little one to check and know that the entire Xiangyi Mansion has suffered from drought."

"So, the second master of my family asked the little one to come back to buy grain and give it to the court."

"The little one also asked my second master why he did this? The little one also said that this kind of thing, Holy Lord, you will definitely take it into consideration. ”

"But the second master of my family said that in life, the red stripes come, the stripes go, and make so much money, when you die, you can't take a penny with you, so you should naturally use the money you earn to do something meaningful."

"Little think, my second master is kind-hearted, and he can't see others starving!"

"Speaking of which, the root is still in my eldest lady......"

"The saint may not know that the eldest lady of my family actually died of poverty and illness, and the second master of my family has never been able to get over this hurdle in his heart......"

"Alright, I got it!"

Emperor Yongping saw that Zhao Rui, a simple man, looked like he was going to talk about it, and quickly interrupted him.

Regarding the matter of the eldest lady of the Zhao family, he naturally knows a thing or two.

Although the details of the inside, he is not very clear.

However, the fact that Miss Zhao is the wife of Xu Shuoyuan, the Marquis of Dingbei, is very clear to Emperor Yongping.
