Cheng Qing has recorded the 'gift' she received, and she estimates that Cheng Zhixu must have received it, and he is also a member of the ministry, and the businessmen in Linqing will not favor one over the other, and they must also please Cheng Zhixu.

Along the way, Cheng Zhixu disagreed with the Five Princes more than once, but his position was for the good of the Five Princes, although the Five Princes were more willing to be close to Cheng Qing, they were not cold and disgusted with Cheng Zhixu.

Whether Cheng Zhixu will leave his 'gift', Cheng Qing is not sure.

But even if Cheng Zhixu wants to accept it, he will not let Cheng Qing catch the handle...... A thoughtful old fox!

The flotilla was about to anchor, and a group of people on the shore caught up with them, noisily begging to stop the ship.

The fifth prince asked people to ask what was going on, but after a while, it was Yu San who entered the cabin, his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks: "Your Highness, someone wants to donate food for disaster relief." ”

"Donate food?"

The fifth prince got up from his chair suddenly, "It's a good thing to donate food, Yu Baihu is like this, but there is another hidden secret?" ”

Yu San was embarrassed to say.

The fifth prince decided to go and see it in person, and Cheng Qing also disembarked with him.

The people who donated grain were not from Linqing City, or even from Dongchang Prefecture, but came from other parts of Shandong, with cattle, horses, and livestock on board carts, and a long queue of 10,000 stone of grain were transported!

The leader wore a long robe, and he was dusty, and he saw the five princes for several weeks.

As soon as the fifth prince asked, he finally knew why Yu San was blushing.

The one who donated the grain was the Yu family of Shandong, and the one who escorted the grain to the Linqing wharf was Yu San's uncle, known as Yu Qi's master.

Yu is a local clan, a lot of land under the name, this Huainan drought, raised 10,000 stone grain, ready to set off from the Linqing wharf, into the city heard that the imperial court sent to Huainan disaster relief of the five princes also arrived in Linqing, Yu Qi Master quickly chased up.

Yu San was talking to Cui Yan on the deck at the time, and he couldn't help but look at Master Yu Qi on the shore, and his jaw was about to drop.

His first instinct was to hide.

But Uncle Yu Qi is here to donate food, where can Yu San hide?

Previously, Yu San and the captain of Jinyi Wei donated silver, but the five princes were reluctant to make a noise, and now Master Yu Qi donated 10,000 stone of grain on behalf of the clan, and Yu San couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

Yu San is a very showy character, but he didn't come up with this kind of limelight!

The Yu family donated food, and everyone looked at Yu San differently.

Cui Yan teased: "This is a good thing, what are you blushing for?" ”

A good thing indeed.

As for why Yu San blushed...... Cheng Qing guessed that at least half of the Yu family's 10,000 stone grain was donated for Yu San, because Yu San wanted to follow the five princes to Huainan for disaster relief, and the Yu family hoped that Yu San would be safe?

There are so many princes and nobles in the capital, which one does not have a large area of land under his name.

The Yu family can not donate, donating so much food is a good thing in the eyes of the emperor, but it will not please other adults.

Cheng Qing waved at Yu San, "You don't want to talk to your uncle?" ”

After thanking the Yu family for their generosity, the fifth prince also left the space to Yu's third uncle and nephew. Yu San shrugged his head and walked to the side with Master Yu Qi to talk.

Cheng Qing has never seen Yu San like this.

The Yu family said they could raise more food, but it would take time. If the squires were as generous as the Yu family and the wealthy merchants of Linqing, the disaster in Huainan would have been resolved more quickly. ”

The fifth prince sighed.

Cheng Qing didn't speak.

This kind of thing must be the main force of the imperial court, followed by the dignitaries and nobles from all over the country.

Most of the wealth of the Great Wei Dynasty, including land, is actually in the hands of a very small number of dignitaries, and the dignitaries can also be exempted from taxes and military service in various ways.

Why is the treasury not abundant?

Because the Great Wei was taxing a group of poor people, using the money from the lowest people to support officials and the army, but exempting the wealthy gentry class...... There are also merchants who use a lot of silver to give gifts to pull relationships, but the taxes they really have to pay are not much.

Cheng Qing understood, but Cheng Qing didn't dare to say it.

The bigwigs in the court also understand, but the bigwigs are all vested interests, so they naturally want to protect their own interests and will not reform.

The pioneers of reform have always died miserably.

Cheng Qing can't fight against everyone alone, if she proposes to change taxes, it will offend the entire ruling class, and everyone will work together to exclude her, suppress her, or even get rid of her - no one will praise her, and the ruling class will regard Cheng Qing as a traitor!

Even if Cheng Qing herself is not afraid of death, when she is dying of old age today, she barely maintains peace in the territory of Great Wei, and she has no courage to reform at all, and she will not support her.

Cheng Qing glanced at the five princes beside him.

If you want to do something, you still have to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

If the fifth prince is okay, she has to continue to wait and see!

"Your Highness, it will not be unique for the Yu family and the wealthy businessmen of Linqing to donate money, and there must be other private donations along the way...... If not, we can guide them. ”

Does Cheng Qing mean to "commit a crime" again in a different place?

The Five Princes laughed.

That's why he is willing to be close to Cheng Qing.

The young Cheng Qing is very bold, and such a suggestion will definitely not come out of Cheng Shilang's mouth.

It's really strange, it's all from Nanyi Cheng's family, but the ideas and ways of doing things are very different.

Cheng Shilang does things steadily, while Cheng Qing likes to go off the rails with swords and does not stick to words and deeds.

"Master Cheng doesn't mind, why don't I dare? It's okay to write a few more prefaces, or even write a fu and a poem! ”

When he was in the capital, the five princes didn't know that they were worth so much silver if they wrote something casually, the princes of the Great Wei were all enlightened at the age of five, and the five princes had read for twelve years, and they used to hide their knowledge, but now they could realize it for the victims of Huainan.

On that side, Yu San finished communicating with Master Yu Qi and got on the boat to resume his life.

Master Yu Qi told Yu San that the Yu family would donate another 20,000 stone of grain in the future, and the fifth prince praised the high righteousness of the Yu family, and the 10,000 stone grain brought by Master Yu Qi had to arrange a new boat, plus the time for transportation, and it was supposed to leave Linqing at night, but it was delayed until the early morning of the next day.

No one could rest, and the entire disaster relief team stayed up all night.

After the fleet finally set sail, Master Yu Qi waved his hand on the dock, and Cheng Qing found that Yu San's eyes seemed to be even redder.

"You seem to be afraid of your seventh uncle?"

Cheng Qing noticed that Master Yu Qi was a little lame walking on one foot, and even if he wanted to beat Yu San, he couldn't catch it.

So why is Yu San afraid of Master Yu Qi?

Just when Cheng Qing thought that Yu San would not answer her question, or that she was going to turn her face in anger, Yu San suddenly whispered:

"When I was a child, it was the seventh uncle who opened the Meng, and the seventh uncle only learned better than my father when he was young, but unfortunately he injured his leg and couldn't take the scientific examination, so he stayed in the clan and became a teacher."
