Chapter 239: Together in the Boat
The people above are anxious, and the people below are also anxious, the former for disaster relief and the latter for survival.
"The emperor really wants to come out of one play, reduce the disaster relief and tide over the difficulties together, and let us all go to drink the northwest wind." He Qiaoyi spit bitterness to Jiang Banxia while choosing vegetables: "Originally, the monthly salary was not enough to spend, but now it has been reduced, and I can't live anymore." ”
"The money to be taken for disaster relief in Jiangnan is not a small amount, and I am afraid that the reduction alone is enough." Jiang Banxia analyzed: "There are countless villages and towns along the 32 rivers, and the preparation of food for disaster relief is a big problem. ”
Most of the money issued by Daming officials is mainly grain, and now officials at all levels have reduced their salaries and used the food for disaster relief, which seems to be effective, but in fact there are big problems.
"It must not be reduced!" Li Luan dropped his official hat and sat on the circle chair with an angry expression: "The money can be made up from other places, and the money must not be reduced!" ”
Li Luan, who is a servant of the official household department, knows very well that officials at all levels in Daming, Beijing, and 13 provinces earn a lot of money every month, and the prices are soaring but the salary is not rising, and the officials at the bottom rely on this meager income to support their families! How can these people live now!
"In order to alleviate the disaster, tear down the east wall and make up the west wall! The gains outweigh the losses! Li Luan clenched his fists: "Isn't this just forcing them to be greedy!" Forcing them to fish and flesh the people! ”
Wei Xian sighed lightly: "There are many Qing officials in the world, but Qing officials can't survive." ”
Everyone in the cabinet is silent, if you want to talk about greed, which one of them in the cabinet is clean? The hands are more or less greedy.
If you want to say that they are bad, they are not bad, but their positions are different, and the ultimate goal is also to support the big ship of Daming.
Zhang Hengjiang copied his sleeves and didn't speak, he was overshadowed by the cabinet before, but now the difficulties are pouring in front of him, and it is the key to tide over the difficulties together.
"Disaster relief tickets must be calculated today." Yin Zhizeng said: "This account must be calculated finely and accurately!" ”
"The palm print has been replaced by Gonggong Li, and he is by no means as good as Cao Bo."
The cabinet ministers were more or less sad in their hearts, when Cao Bo was there, he was never confused about things like this in the general direction, and he was indispensable to help the cabinet approve the red.
Now that the sky has changed suddenly, the relationship between the cabinet and the celebrant has also undergone subtle changes.
"We may not receive it, but the people below must send it." Wei Xian hesitated: "In this way, the amount of disaster relief funds that can be budgeted will be reduced, Jiao Qiao is not afraid, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a bonus." ”
"I want to be red." Li Luan's expression was ugly: "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
Li Sanshun's new official is not easy to talk about.
……
The sky that had been sunny for a long time suddenly closed with dark clouds, and the rumbling and uninterrupted thunder sounded over Kyoto, and the birds in the Forbidden City were scurrying around.
"The morning glow doesn't go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles, and the ancients don't deceive me." He Qiao hurriedly collected his clothes.
He asked Jiang Banxia as he closed it: "Boss, did you say that this court is about to change the sky?" The ancestor of the celebrant suddenly went to Wudang to pray for blessings, it's too. ”
"Changing the sky?" Jiang Banxia smiled: "The sky has changed in the morning. ”
The celebrant has a lot of bad things, and the cabinet is not good-looking.
After all, but at present, she still doesn't dare to act rashly, on the one hand, she is soft-spoken, and on the other hand, she doesn't know if Cao Alcohol can be relied on.
Cao Bo lost power, and the people who were originally powerful would lose power relatively speaking, Cao Yu has always been used to being a master of ceremonies, and there are many people who have offended.
As the two of them were talking about the key point, the door suddenly rang.
Jiang Banxia and He Qiao looked at each other, who would be here at this time?
"Here we are." He Qiao responded with a big heart: "Wait a minute! ”
Another thunderclap exploded overhead, and the lightning flashed all around, and He Qiao ran fast, for fear of being struck by lightning.
The wooden door is not very strong, and when it is opened, you can still hear the screak of the door shaft rubbing.
Outside the door stood a young man in green clothes, not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pair of black eyes, very penetrating.
"Looking for whom?" He Qiaoyi was a little inexplicable, this person shouldn't be looking in the wrong place, right?
The young man in Tsing Yi raised his head, and he said, "I'm looking for Master Jiang." ”
There is only one boss surnamed Jiang here, could it be that this is looking for the boss?
He Qiaoyi stared at the young man carefully, the more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt, and he always felt as if he had seen it somewhere?
"Who are you?" He Qiao leaned at the door and asked, "If you are looking for someone, you can't report to your home first?" ”
The young man in Tsing Yi had a calm face, but his eyes betrayed his nervous mood: "I'm Xie Sheng." ”
His hands clutched the corners of his clothes, and he looked serious, but he was still a little timid.
Xie Sheng! This name He Qiaoyi will never forget! A silver ticket worth 1,000 taels!
"Hey, hey, hey." He Qiaoyi laughed: "It turned out to be a silver ticket." ”
shouted one by one silver tickets, he didn't care what Xie Sheng thought.
"Look at you like this, haven't you entered the Cheng Palace yet?" He Qiaoyi teased: "I told you a long time ago that it is not easy to enter the palace, but now come to Kyoto to see for yourself." ”
Xie Sheng was silent, let He Qiaoyi joke and ridicule, and only after He He Qiaoyi had said enough did Xie Sheng say, "Can you take me to see Engong now?" ”
He Qiaoyi: ......
What he just said, this kid didn't listen to it at all.
So He Qiao leaned on his throat and shouted to Jiang Banxia: "Boss, your silver ticket is here!" ”
Jiang Banxia, who was drinking water, couldn't help but squirt.
Xie Sheng honestly followed behind He Qiao, and when he saw Jiang Banxia, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Benefactor." Xie Sheng knelt on the ground with a thud, knocking his head three times in a row.
"Don't mind, it doesn't matter if your head is hard, my family's ground is not strong." He Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie Sheng up, this kid knelt down no matter what he said, his brain was weird and scary.
Jiang Banxia asked, "Looking at your appearance, it should have been a while since you came to Kyoto, have you thought about the things you decided at the beginning?" ”
For such a long time, she hadn't heard anyone from Dongchang mention Xie Sheng, which proved that Xie Sheng had given up the original idea.
There are very few people who are cruel to themselves, and Jiang Banxia concluded that Xie Sheng had changed his mind.
"I've thought it through." Xie Sheng looked ashamed: "Don't hide it from your father-in-law... I want to go through the imperial examination. ”
Jiang Banxia chuckled, and she asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?" ”
"Reading makes a person wise and virtuous." Xie Sheng said without thinking.
Obviously, these words were not something he could come up with, and Jiang Banxia did not debunk them, but asked, "Since you already have your own plans, why do you still come to look for us?" ”
"It is only natural to repay debts." Xie Sheng glanced at him and said, "I said that I will pay you back, and I will definitely pay it back." ”
He Qiaoyi laughed when he heard this, this kid is really interesting, and his feelings are that he is afraid that they will run away and will not be able to repay the money.
Jiang Banxia was noncommittal to Xie Sheng's words, she casually asked a few more about Xie Sheng's recent situation, and learned that Xie Sheng was working in Zhang Hengjiang's mansion and was appreciated by Zhang Hengjiang.
Zhang Hengjiang was 'kind' to subsidize Xie Sheng's study, businessmen will do such a lucrative business, this is how Zhang Hengjiang was funded by the salt merchant Zhang Liuren, and now he sees that Xie Sheng is smart and also invested in silver.
If you fail, you will lose a little money at most, and if you succeed, you will lose a lot of money, and you won't lose money no matter how you look at it.
