Chapter 56: Never

——— Gyeong-eup.

Since Zhao Jingyuan was in charge of the country, he has been acting steadily and appropriately.

It not only handles government affairs perfectly, but also understands the people's feelings and is close to the people.

It was also during the period when the emperor went to Jingyang City that the southern capital continued to rain heavily, and the accumulated rainwater washed away the crops there.

Within a radius of 100 miles, not a single farm field is intact.

In some serious areas, houses were also washed away by the floods and collapsed.

All of a sudden, the people were displaced and miserable.

When Ning Xianting informed Zhao Jingyuan of the flood situation, he took action as soon as possible.

Not only did officials go to Nandu to work together to fight the flood, but they also used the money from the national treasury to send supplies to Nandu.

Since Nandu is located in an area prone to heavy rainfall, there are many embankments there.

It is imperative to ensure that the dikes there are not washed away, so as to ensure the safety of the people.

At the same time, Zhao Jingyuan was crowdfunding money in the court.

After all, repairing a house that has been washed away by floods is not a small amount.

If the problem is solved only with treasury silver, then the next time there is such an emergency, there will be no abundant money at disposal.

If it is more serious, Zhaonan may also run a fiscal deficit.

Under Zhao Jingyuan's active mobilization, everyone in the court took action, and Ning Xianting was the first person to respond to Zhao Jingyuan's fundraising.

Although these officials did not like Zhao Jingyuan's approach very much, everyone still took out hundreds of taels of silver after all.

Since they can discuss in the Nanhua Palace, it shows that their family background is solid enough.

What's more, some of them are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and a hundred taels of silver is just the tip of the iceberg for them.

Of course, Zhao Jingyuan was well aware that he might attract some hatred from officials by doing so.

But he really felt that Ning Xianting agreed with his approach very much.

And he was able to become the person who supervised the country this time, thanks to Ning Xianting's recommendation.

Now's his chance to do the big!

If he can get the support of the prime minister, he will become the emperor in the future.

Because of this, Zhao Jingyuan was worried about the Nandu every day, and he did not dare to have the slightest slack and delay.

The only thing that comforted the civil and military officials a little was that Zhao Jingyuan would not show his face in the court.

This made the originally quiet and solemn Nanhua Hall quietly add a touch of peace, changing the lifeless and dull atmosphere of the past.

The flood relief in Nandu is in full swing, and at this time, Ning Jiheng has also quietly arrived in Jingyang City.

This time, he was still dressed in disguise.

Last time in Heyuan County, only Rin Ruo recognized it. This time, it is estimated that no one else will be able to identify who he is.

Subsequently, Ning Jiheng found an opportunity to sneak into Jingyang City.

Due to the heavy losses caused by malaria last time, the economic development of Jingyang City is still in a state of slow growth.

Each family followed Rin Ruo's original suggestion and hand-woven pieces of bamboo forests into handicrafts and sold them to all parts of Zhaonan country.

Due to the abundant sunshine and abundant rain, the city is full of all kinds of bamboo.

Such as arrow bamboo, single bamboo, spotted bamboo, water bamboo, palm bamboo, spiny bamboo, Luohan bamboo, Tongjie bamboo, phoenix tail bamboo, giant dragon bamboo and so on.

Of course, there are many people who are willing to buy these bamboos in order to grow them in their gardens.

It is precisely because these bamboo varieties are so diverse that they can meet the tastes and requirements of most people.

It's just that the production cycle of handicrafts is long, and the growth of newly planted bamboo is slow, so door-to-door production cannot achieve large-scale mass production, but it is barely able to make a living.

However, every transaction is not small.

Seeing that most of the people were doing such work, the emperor soon joined in.

Since he said that he would work with them, he could not break his word and go back on his word.

"Your Majesty, you are a supreme body, how can you be allowed to do such rough work! I can't help it! I can't help it! ”

Seeing that the emperor was about to touch the bamboo notes, the people were frightened.

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Your Majesty, let the grass people come!"

“……”

Although the crafts are exquisite, the bamboo notes scattered on the ground are so sharp that you can scratch your hands if you are not careful.

They really didn't dare to let the emperor take this risk!

"I have said that I will work with you. I am the Son of Heaven, and I naturally have a good word. ”

The emperor smiled seriously, but he did not forget to emphasize his identity as the Son of Heaven between his words.

As he spoke, the emperor picked up the bamboo paper on the ground and began to learn it decently.

If he hadn't seen the emperor's true appearance, I'm afraid Rin Ruo would have been deceived by this hypocritical face.

At this time, although Rin Ruo was making pastries for Aozuki in a small kitchen, she had been thinking about how to assassinate the emperor without being suspected.

Is it disguised as suicide, or is it homicide?

Just as Rin Ruo was thinking carefully, there was a sudden exclamation outside.

"The grass people deserve death for their crimes, and they deserve to die for their crimes!" A common man who taught the emperor to weave a bamboo basket immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"It's the grass people's fault that they let these damn bamboo notes scratch the emperor's hands!"

Hearing this, Rin suddenly realized.

I thought it was something, but it turned out that I just scratched my hand.

In an instant, Xue Beinian, who was on the side, immediately took out the silk scarf in his cuffs and applied it to the emperor's wound.

Seeing this, the emperor immediately raised his hand and smiled: "It's okay, I was careless, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Hearing this, the man still knelt on the ground and shivered, and his whole body was as heavy as if it had been poured with lead.

"Your Majesty, you, you should ask the imperial doctor to take a good look at your hands, so as not to get any diseases." The man stammered.

With that, the Emperor immediately remembered that this was the city where malaria had been rampant. If the germs are hidden in the bamboo paper, then the gain outweighs the loss!

Immediately, the emperor immediately said to Xue Beinian on the side: "You go and call Rin Ruo over." ”

In the final analysis, he is still most worried about his life or death!

Seeing that the emperor was panicked because of such a small injury, Rin Ruo suddenly felt disdain in his heart.

She looked at the wound on the emperor's hand, and it turned out that there was only a faint trace of blood, and there was no sign of infection.

"Back to the emperor, it's just an ordinary scratch, and there is nothing serious." Rin Ruo said respectfully.

Seeing that Rin Ruo said that he was fine, the emperor immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If he says that what he values most in this life, the first is his life, and the second is his throne!

Seeing the emperor's slightly relaxed expression, Rin Ruo suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Since the emperor threatened to work with these people, let him experience the hardships of the people, and it would not be too late for him to do it before leaving!

Thinking of this, Rin Ruo felt more and more that her decision was good.

If you kill him like this, you will cheapen him for nothing!
