Chapter 89 Disaster Relief
Nangong Mingzi carefully flipped through the fold in his hand, and paused after listening to what the minister in the audience said.
"The disaster is even worse than we imagined, and the disaster relief funds have gone down, but the food from the surrounding villages has been brought over to everyone to use, and now there is money, but there is no food to eat."
So the next thing to do is to collect all the remaining grain in Lancheng and send it to the Huainan area.
"Lord Wang, what do you think about this matter?" Nangong Ming turned his gaze to Lord Wang.
This Wang family is one of the largest families in Lancheng, and with such an important status in the imperial court, how can it be an example.
Lord Wang was named, and replied without blushing and without a heartbeat.
"Your Majesty, in the face of the disaster in Huainan, all the officials of our court and China have the responsibility to do so. If you have the ability, you will definitely stretch out your hands to support you. ”
"But the emperor, you also know that the recent harvest in this Lancheng is not very good, and those grains can barely make everyone survive this year, so there is really not much food to support......
That's it, when there is nothing to do, they are all gentlemen and ministers, but if something really happens, everyone wants to push the responsibility outside.
As soon as Lord Wang's voice fell, there was a chorus of echoes.
"yes...... This year's harvest is indeed not good, and I can barely survive, but if I really want to say how much grain I can take out to the Huainan area, I'm afraid it will ......."
Of course, Nangong Ming knew what these people were thinking, but all the reasons in the face of the disaster were not reasons.
"What does King Ming think?" Nangong Ming turned his gaze to King Ming again.
King Ming is the opposite of everyone's attitude.
"Huainan is an inseparable part of us, and we must lend a helping hand when the country is in trouble."
Nangong Ming nodded.
"No matter how bad the harvest of our Lancheng is, it is always better than those victims who can't eat a mouthful of food."
Nangong Ming is in favor of King Ming's attitude.
"King Ming is right, no matter how bad the harvest is, I haven't seen any of you drop a few catties of meat. That's not a reason at all. ”
"We have just put down the war in the west, and now it is an internal matter of our country, and it must be resolved." Nangong Ming looked around.
"Did anyone volunteer to go to Huainan to support?"
The people below were all silent, and those who didn't even want to give food were told to go to the front.
Just when the emperor was just about to point out, King Ming spoke at this time.
"Since no one wants to go, let this king come. It's been a long time since I've experienced the simple folk customs. ”
As soon as King Ming's words came out, the people below sighed, and no one thought that King Ming would take the initiative to take this hot potato.
Not to mention the officials below, even Qi Muyuan, who has always been unfazed, couldn't help but glance at King Ming on the opposite side when he heard King Ming's words.
Sensing Qi Muyuan's gaze, King Ming smiled: "What, General Qi has something to say?" ”
"I just think that this trip will definitely encounter a lot of difficulties, His Royal Highness King Ming has never led troops out, and Weichen is just a little worried."
Qi Muyuan, you would have given King Zuming face at the beginning, but since Princess Ming treated Ye Ying aggressively at the banquet that day, Qi Muyuan never thought of giving him a little thin noodles.
King Ming's face turned a little red when Qi Muyuan's words were said, but he couldn't refute it.
He came from a privileged background since he was a child, and although he had experienced several wars in his life, he only followed a certain general as a deputy.
"What General Qi said, even if I haven't led troops to fight, this trivial matter like escorting food still can't bother me."
King Ming had already hated Qi Muyuan so much that he clenched his back molars.
Qi Muyuan didn't say anything more, with a shallow smile on his face.
This smile was full of provocation in King Ming's eyes.
Someone automatically asked for help, and the emperor was naturally happy, looking at King Ming happily.
"I really didn't see the wrong person, King Ming is responsible, I believe King Ming can also bring me back a gratifying news."
As soon as the emperor's words came out, the people below breathed a sigh of relief, in case the emperor gave them permission to follow, it could no longer be described as unlucky.
But the emperor's next sentence knocked the ministers to the bottom.
"I think everyone must have heard what King Ming said just now, and everyone here has the responsibility to contribute their own strength to this disaster relief."
"King Ming automatically asked Ying to go to the disaster relief, and there were no other requirements, but these ministers below, each of the first-class and above paid twenty deniers of grain, and the third-class and first-class officials each paid fifteen deniers of grain."
"Officials from the third rank to the fifth rank will hand over ten deniers of grain, and the others will each hand over five deniers of grain."
"I'll do it after this matter is down, I will personally go down to investigate this matter, and I think the ministers should also do their best to cooperate with King Ming's work this time."
The people at the bottom dare not be angry, how much is the harvest per acre, this time it is ten deniers and twenty deniers to hand over, and anyone has resentment in their hearts.
But it was King Ming who was in charge of this matter, and no one dared to do that thorn. Because a few deniers of grain offended King Ming, this thing is not cost-effective.
If there is nothing to do at home, Qi Muyuan will definitely want to go to the disaster area to have a look, and those suffering people are what he is most concerned about.
But Sakura is now in the process of recovery, and he really doesn't feel at ease and walks away.
The emperor also heard about this from the queen, and he didn't mention Qi Muyuan's name when he was in the court just now.
It's just that he was stunned for a moment when he knew the news of Ye Ying's pregnancy, and he didn't expect it to be so soon.
And that day, Qi Muyuan opened and closed his mouth to talk to Ye Ying, knowing that Qi Muyuan was now Ye Ying's father-in-law, and he should be protecting Ye Ying.
But there were ripples in his heart, sour and sour.
Prince Zunshuo has also been absent-minded since he learned about Ye Ying's pregnancy from the empress.
But I can still hope that Ye Ying is good.
Ye Ying's recent recovery has been very good, and Doctor Hu really does what he says, but the most unacceptable thing for Ye Ying is that she has to eat some messy things every day that she doesn't know where she came from.
Just looking at the black leaf cherry blossom in the bowl made me feel worried.
Doctor Hu felt that Ye Ying was in the midst of happiness and did not know the blessing.
"Xiao Ye Sakura, don't look down on the soup in this bowl, this is something I took a lot of effort to extract, and I won't give it if others want to drink it!"
Ye Ying's face darkened when she heard Doctor Hu's words.
After getting along, I realized that this Doctor Hu didn't look so upright at all.
