Chapter 100: Heavy Rain

Cao Alcohol took the fold, and he swept the contents of the fold in three or two eyes.

"Read it." Cao Bo closed his eyes and leaned back on the circle chair.

"It's Godfather." Cao Alcohol unfolded the recital and read slowly: "Since March 12, after the Qingming Festival, it has been pouring rain for several days, and the mountains and rivers have been flooded everywhere, and the Tiaoxi, Qiantang River, Cao'e River, Yongjiang River, Lingjiang River and other rivers have skyrocketed at the same time, and the embankment and the field are in danger. ”

"Zhejiang Governor Zheng Yanggu played." Cao Yu read out the final payment of the fold.

Cao Bo opened his eyes, and he took out another copy of the fold: "You can also take a look at this one." ”

Cao Yu took it respectfully, and he swept this fold quickly in ten lines, and was immediately shocked, this is the excerpt of the Ministry of Industry to build the river embankment last year!

"The 'death' of Zhao Han, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is all on this." Cao Bo pointed to the recital.

"Before the Dragon Boat Festival flood last year, the Ministry of Household Affairs of Nanzhili allocated a sum of money to the Ministry of Industry to strengthen the river embankment." Cao Bo said softly: "More than two million taels of silver have gone down, and it is enough to pile up the embankment with silver." ”

More than two million taels of silver can be thrown into the river to block the embankment! It will not be necessary to repair the embankment in less than a year.

This account is either the fault of the Ministry of Household or the Ministry of Industry!

"Godfather?" Cao Yu remembered that Cao Bo asked him to kill Zhao Han before Lu Cheng, and he wondered: "What about Zhao Han's treason with the enemy?" ”

"I can't take it seriously." Cao Bo sneered: "It's just a scapegoat that was kicked out." ”

Since Zhao Han was wronged, Cao Bo asked him to kill people before, which means that the direction of these silver loopholes is inextricably linked to the celebrant supervisor.

Godfather has always cherished feathers, and if he can protect him, the person behind it must be extraordinary.

Cao Alcohol was restless, the south has always been his majority, and he not only didn't know about Zhao Han's affairs, but he was also blindfolded and deaf, and he couldn't hear or see.

"Now that the money for repairing the river embankment is handed over, the household department will not approve it again." Cao Alcohol was worried that when the liquidation was made a year ago, the household department quarreled with the Ministry of Industry over the money for repairing the river embankment.

In the spring of the next year, Zhao Han, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, died.

At that time, he thought that it was the household department that made a stalk, and Zhao Han's treason with the enemy was inexplicable, and the voices of the government and the opposition were much less during that time.

Now I look at it and there are loopholes everywhere.

"This fold." Cao Bo threw the letter from the Ministry of Industry last year into the brazier: "After this time, you and I should have never seen it." ”

Cao Yu looked at the folds in the big copper basin that were licked by the tongue of fire, and his heart was completely suspended.

"What is the imperial court lacking now?" Cao Bo knocked on the table and said, "What is lacking is silver, and silver is needed everywhere." ”

"In the eighth year of Qingwen, the sea ban was lifted, and in order to enrich the treasury, he did business with the Francois people, and even sent troops to the south to clear the pirates and expel the Japanese invaders, in order to make Daming's merchant ships go all the way south." Cao Bo let out a long sigh: "Even this can't make up for the deficit. ”

The front earns and the back is greedy, and silver is required everywhere, and there is not only one silverfish, but a piece.

"Zhejiang Governor Zheng Yanggu's excerpt, our family will take it to present long live in a while." Cao Bo said: "Whether the household department approves or not is a matter for the household department, but this matter must be known to Banzai." ”

"What does the son want to tell the people of Nanzhili Si Celebrant to order?" Cao Ol asked, he was actually prepared for a flood in the south this year.

"Don't tell them anything, you let them do their job." Cao Bo closed his eyes tiredly and said, "Don't live up to Long Hon." ”

"My son understood." Cao Yu lightly took the blanket on the side and covered it for Cao Bo, and he slowly retreated until he walked out of the door of the celebrant supervisor.

He threw up his head and shouted silently, letting the rain fall on him.

...

"Why is it raining so much this year?" He Qiao leaned on his horse and sighed: "The sky is about to fall." ”

Along the way, He Qiaoyi chattered endlessly, and Zhu Tan and Zhu Hu rode horses and walked in the front, full of momentum.

In private, He Qiao leaned on Jiang Banxia and gossiped, saying that Yang Yiqing was really a good fate, and the four brocade guards in front of him opened the way, and he didn't know who he thought was the honor guard.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain curtain was connected into a large area, so fine and dense that it was almost impossible to see the road clearly in the back.

Zhu Hu and Zhu Tan stopped and said: "There is a post house in front, so let's go here today, and then go tomorrow when the rain is light." ”

Jiang Banxia and others all said yes.

The post house next to the official road was full of horse-drawn carriages, all blocked by the rain.

He Qiaoyi arrived at the post house first, and he stood at the door and shouted: "We are from Beijing, who will pick up the station?" ”

Hearing the sound, a person rushed out from under the shed, and said: "It's small, dare to ask your driver?" ”

"It's the history of going to Ningshan to patrol tea."

"Please come with the little one." The man braved the rain and took Yang Yiqing and others into the post house.

Jiang Banxia didn't follow the group of people in first, she personally led the horse into the stable, thinking about instructing the people who feed the horses to feed more fodder, if the weather is fine tomorrow, they should be in a hurry.

Before she could tie her horse, she met the man who fed the horse, who complained irritably, "I don't know what happened today, there are so many horses that there is not enough forage." ”

"Can you all order us?" Jiang Banxia asked, "We are in a hurry to take office tomorrow." ”

The man rolled his eyes: "The people who live here, which one is not in a hurry to take office." ”

"Oh? Are there any other adults here? Jiang Banxia asked.

"Not really, sir." The little official who was waiting for the horse said, "There is a group of students from the Guozijian. ”

Jiang Banxia became interested, and she said, "Where are these Guozijian students going?" ”

"I heard that I was going to Nanjing to check the yellow book." The little official who was waiting for the horse sighed: "I don't know what happened this year, there are two batches of Guozijian students who have just checked the yellow book, and this is the third batch." ”

Jiang Banxia tied the horse well, and she said: "It is a good thing to check the yellow book for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

"I don't think so." The little official quickly dragged the bag of beans into the manger.

Jiang Banxia chuckled: "Give our horses some forage too." ”

She didn't wait for the little official to react and walked away.

As soon as you enter the hall, you will untie your clothes and put them on the wall, and the rainwater on your clothes will soon collect into a small pool of water on the ground.

"My lord, please come here." The little official who picked up the station just now came out from inside, and he stretched out his hand and asked, "Please here." ”

Along the corridors on both sides, the innkeeper led her to a room.

"I'm going to be wronged today." The little official said worriedly: "There are too many people staying in the room, and there are not enough rooms, so there can only be one room for two people." ”

Seeing that Jiang Banxia's face changed slightly, the little official hurriedly said, "There is still a collapse in the house, adults can discuss and sleep." ”

Jiang Banxia didn't expect to encounter this situation, but as long as she came out to walk in the future, this situation would not be less, I heard that in the northwest, where the conditions are even more simple, it is common for more than a dozen people to be crowded on a large bunk.

"It doesn't matter." She said.

Seeing that the adult did not blame, the little official immediately smiled.
