Bai Lichen leaned on the soft couch and had no objection to her words:

"Anyway, I'm sick now, so I'll leave these things up to you for the time being."

Mu Qing despised him a little, others don't know if you are sick or not, I am in front of you, are you embarrassed to say such things?

Bai Lichen took a sip of the teacup next to him and said with a smile:

"The official food will be gone in the next two days, but the soup porridge will continue, you don't need to take care of the repairs of the house, and the free clinic is also being carried out, they should not coax you with cold materials, and you should be about the same as sending cold materials, no special preparation, now there is a shortage of food, but now the rice has been hung for a pound."

"How much?" Mu Qing raised his voice.

"A penny, a pound." Bailichen repeated patiently.

Mu Qing only felt that there was a black heart in front of him, black heart, these people were too black-hearted.

Some time ago, because she opened a hot pot restaurant and positioned the hot pot restaurant as a high-end brand store, she specially bought the best fine rice, and naturally she also knew the price of rice.

The best rice she bought was only 15 wen a catty, and this hanging money was 100 wen.

No wonder the book says that in the disaster year, there are thousands of dollars of rice, and ten thousand pearls of rice, which is really appropriate.

Mu Qing was silent, the official grain is limited, and in addition to handing over the tax grain collected in previous years to the state treasury, some will be kept in the local granary.

This is also to prepare for disaster relief in a disaster year, and when the time comes, the imperial court will have to bother pulling food to provide disaster relief.

However, the local food is limited, and it is impossible to distribute it all at once in a disaster year, and it is generally used in half.

The remaining half is for emergency use, after all, half will be tax-free for one or two years after the disaster year.

And no one can guarantee that there will be no more disasters in the next year or two......

If the official grain runs out, then the most direct way is to buy grain, but it is obviously unrealistic to say that the price of grain is now to buy.

Bai Lichen saw her frowning, so he showed her the two folds that he had written:

"I am going to give my father a fold, there are two ways, the court decrees to reduce the price, and the other is to transfer grain from Jiangnan."

Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice, is not short of grain.

"I think it's good, let's go together, the grain transfer in Jiangnan can't arrive for a day or two, and the imperial court lowers the price, these grain merchants may not buy it, they can do one thing in front of them and one behind their backs."

Mu Qing snorted twice, very disdainful of these grain merchants.

Although she is inspirational to be a rich woman, she will definitely not earn this kind of money, black money!

"Same as I thought." Bai Lichen sighed as he spoke, and said leisurely:

"This matter is over, I will bear the blame, and the good reputation will be yours."

Who made him "sick" in Mu Qing's mouth.

Mu Qing rolled her eyes and didn't take it to heart, she hadn't settled accounts with Bailichen before, and this reputation should be compensated.

She wanted to settle accounts with Bailichen, but now was not the time.

Bailichen sent the excerpt of 800 li to Beijing urgently, and the next day, many people also sent old clothes and some new ones.

It's not that good, but it's okay to keep out the cold, and there are some quilts, some of which are worn, but the victims shouldn't mind.

Mu Qing took everyone to distribute these materials, which were far from enough, but a lot of clothes were sent for several days in a row.

Wan Yan also talked about two timber merchants, and finally sold them to them at a very low price for the sake of the face of the Wan family and Bailichen.

The emperor's will to suppress grain prices has also come down, and the grain transferred from Jiangnan has also come, and the heavy snow is still falling, but the people's hearts have been calmed down.

Bai Lichen saw that it was almost here, so he took Mu Qing to the places around Yuezhou, and this time it was the same, crying with the officials......

The disaster in Yuezhou, which lasted for a month, was dealt with, and the two of them also returned to Beijing.

Mu Qing was tired for a month, and he lost a lot of weight, and after returning to Beijing, he went back to the house to wash and sleep, and Bailichen had to go to the palace to reply first.

The emperor had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he heard him say the situation in Yuezhou and other places, he laughed: "It's worthy of my son!" ”

"Father, there are many corrupt officials in Yuezhou and other places, and I'm afraid it's not suitable to stay there anymore."

Bai Lichen said a few more Qingming officials.

These officials were inspected by him, and they were discussed by him and Mu Qing, and they performed very well in this disaster relief.

"What I know, the reason why they have not been attacked is also because of the disaster, disaster relief is needed, the new officials were not familiar with Yuezhou in the past, I am afraid they will not be able to suppress those local snakes, and now the disaster situation is almost over, so it is natural to replace these moths!"

The emperor was also very angry with these officials.

This time there was a disaster that made him know that there were these moths, if it weren't for this disaster, I am afraid I wouldn't know that they were so arrogant, and they didn't take the court in their eyes at all!

"Father, in addition to this, the sons and daughters also have to ask for guilt." Bai Lichen knelt down as he spoke, touching his head to the ground.

Seeing him like this, the emperor hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up:

"What is this for? Hurry up, third child, this time you are a great hero, you have done a good thing for your father, why do you still ask for sin? ”

The emperor really thinks that Bai Lichen has done a good job this time, and it is even more regrettable that the crown prince is early.

If you wait, it may be better if you become the crown prince.

Bai Lichen didn't get up, and kowtowed again: "Father, there is a big mistake in this matter, and I ask my father to forgive me." ”

No matter what, Mu Qing is right, and the attitude of admitting mistakes must be good.

The emperor was also a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "What did you do?" ”

"The retainers forged a secret decree." Bai Lichen said softly.

"What!" The emperor raised his voice, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Bai Lichen coldly:

"Tell me what's going on?"

Bai Lichen told the matter from beginning to end, but changed in the middle, and did not say that it was Mu Qing's idea, but that he instructed Mu Qing to do it.

"A total of 1,328,000 taels of silver were collected from these officials, of which 200,000 taels were used for disaster relief, and this is the remaining silver, as well as the account books."

Bai Lichen handed the prepared things to the emperor, "There is also a list of donations from officials, as well as donations from some wealthy households. ”

After moving to the area around Yuezhou, Mu Qing became even more arrogant, and united with Wanyan to brainwash many businessmen and let them take money.

In addition to donating goods, those people also had a lot of money, in Mu Qing's words, that is, to give him some more money left, so that he could go back to the emperor in the future.

When the time comes, when the emperor sees so much money, maybe he won't blame him......

When the emperor heard so much money, a smile appeared on his face:

"Get up, although it is a felony to forge a secret decree, you can be regarded as a demerit and a demerit."

More than one million taels, this money is enough to build water conservancy after the beginning of spring!

"Thank you, Father." Bai Lichen got up, with helplessness in his heart:

"Erchen can't help it, knowing that the treasury has no money, and he doesn't dare to ask for money from his son and father, these officials are very hateful on weekdays, looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and the money can be regarded as being used on the right way."

The Emperor nodded, and agreed:

"Indeed, you go back and rest, I know about this matter, and I have worked hard for you, so you should rest for a few days recently."

"Yes." Bailichen saluted, and then went out of the palace and returned home.

Bailichen was also very tired, so he went home and went to sleep.

Mu Qing was still woken up the next morning, and as soon as he woke up, he saw Xin'er coming in:

"Niangniang woke up, they were packing up the things that Niangniang brought back from Yuezhou, and they made a noise, right?"

"Nothing." Mu Qing stretched his waist, saw the water droplets on Xin'er's shoulders and asked, "It's snowing?" ”

"yes." Xin'er served Mu Qing to put on her clothes and said in a low voice, "Just now, the late family sent a letter over, saying that they wanted to come to see Niangniang." ”

"Then you have to hurry up and prepare, I just came back and I should go to see my grandfather, but let my grandfather run."

Mu Qing was a little annoyed, and hurriedly urged Xin'er to prepare.

It was close to noon that the evening family came over, and this time it was the late master, the late morning and the evening Wanguan.

"Grandfather, uncle, cousin!" Mu Qing happily stepped forward and saluted, "Why don't you wait for me to see you." ”

"I'm really worried about you, you've been out for so long and we're worried about death at home."

The old man looked Mu Qing up and down as he spoke, and said with a smile:

"I'm thin, I want to make up for it, I just brought a lot of supplements here, as well as medicinal herbs, all for you to replenish your body."

Mu Qing went to Yuezhou, even if Wan Yan was with the guards, the late master was worried for a long time, he couldn't eat or sleep, for fear that something would happen to Mu Qing's girl.

"Thank you, grandfather!" Mu Qing was not polite, and pulled the late master in.

Bai Lichen also greeted him, and several people spoke.

"So, you're forging a secret decree?"

The old man's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he was relieved to see that there were no maids around.

Even if he is a businessman, he knows how big a crime it is to forge a secret decree, and these two people are really bold.

"Ah Yan never told me when he came back." The late old man frowned, "Does the emperor know?" ”

The emperor knows that he will definitely blame, this is a serious crime!

"Father doesn't blame me." Bai Lichen said and smiled:

"Isn't it good for my grandfather to look at me, if my father blames me, I can still sit here?"

"That's right." Wan Chen nodded:

"It's good that you don't blame it, Ah Yan too, I don't know how to persuade you for this kind of thing, it's too risky, if someone knows about it, I'm afraid it will become a handle to attack you, don't do it next time."

The two of them should go down on their own.

Seeing that several of them were chatting, Wanguan pulled Mu Qing out of the door.

Wanguan pulled Mu Qing all the way away, and then lowered his voice and asked:

"Cousin, you're not in Beijing, let me tell you, do you know that your grandmother is here?"

"Grandmother?" Mu Qing was confused, she didn't know what grandmother was.

After she became Mu Qing, she learned about the situation in Shangshu Mansion, and there was no such thing as a grandmother!

Wan Wan looked at her like this, only thought that she was unfamiliar, and said in a low voice:

"This grandmother of yours is so hateful, she looks passable on her face, but her words are very ugly."

Mu Qing was a little confused, so he could only ask Wanwan: "What's the matter?" ”

There's no way, she hasn't been in Beijing for a month, she's not familiar with things in Beijing at all, and she doesn't have any friends.

"After she returned to Beijing, she attended a banquet, and I also went, and she looked down on you a little bit in her words, and said bad things about her aunt."
