Chapter 379: Inspecting the Granary

After selecting the person responsible for escorting the grain and grass, the officials of the various ministries in the main hall made a brief report according to what the various departments had done in the previous days. The chamberlain announced the next dynasty, and Jiang Cheng successively dismissed the congratulations of several colleagues, and instead followed him to the imperial study.

The matter of escorting grain and grass is not something that the emperor announced in the court that he would let him go, so he could make his own decisions to prepare. After that, there are a lot of things that need to be handed over, and they need to be agreed by the relevant departments in charge before they can be continued.

And the first thing to do is to go to the emperor first to discuss the matter of escorting grain and grass this time. When Jiang Cheng walked outside the door of the imperial study, the emperor's personal attendant was already standing at the door waiting.

As soon as the chamberlain saw Jiang Cheng coming, he turned sideways and pushed the door of the imperial study open, looked at Jiang Cheng and smiled superficially, and said in a sharp and hoarse voice: "Lord Jiang, come in."

In the imperial study, the emperor who had just fallen into the dynasty had already begun to sit on the dragon chair to deal with official business. The table in front of him was piled with a heap of folds that almost drowned himself. Jiang Cheng walked in, lowered his head, and saluted the emperor respectfully.

The emperor, who was holding up the pen to correct the folds, did not raise his head until he finished correcting the copy of the folds in his hand, and his expression was faint, and he could not tell whether he was happy or unhappy. However, Jiang Cheng, with his years of experience in looking at people, still preferred to feel that the emperor was not unhappy, at least for now.

As long as you are careful not to anger the emperor, then everything will be fine. The emperor looked at Jiang Cheng and did not speak immediately, he took a note from the side that did not seem to have written anything, and then the wolf brush dipped it in the inkstone where the ink had been studied, and he wrote a few words on it with his hand.

"Take it." The Emperor stretched out his hand and handed the written fold out. Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward and took a step.

The emperor gave the thing and said, "Wait a minute, you take this note and go to the person in charge of the treasury, it has been clearly written on it the grain that Fuzhou needs." Now that Fuzhou is flooded, it's not good to let more irrelevant people in, you just need to transport the grain and grass somewhere, and then wait for Wen Qiao to pick it up by himself. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, naturally not stupid enough to ask where he was going to hand over to Wen Qiao. "Let's go down." The Emperor bowed his head again, opened a new book with one hand, and quickly corrected the book with the other. Jiang Cheng saluted, facing the emperor, and stepped back step by step for a long distance before turning around and striding outside.

He took what the emperor had given him to the officials in charge of the treasury, and after registering according to the process, he was taken by the treasury to the granary in the capital. It was only a brief glance on the day, and it was impossible to prepare everything on the same day to escort the grain and grass.

When the sky was about to fall, Jiang Cheng took a carriage back from the granary outside the capital, passing by the most prosperous Suzaku Street in the capital, and he heard the laughter of the children on the side of the road in the carriage. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, only to see five or six children on the corner of the street suddenly chasing after me.

Everyone sang the words he had heard countless times in recent days, "The disaster star is born, the flood starts, the disaster star does not destroy the country, the country is not the country, and the family is not home!" This is an easy-to-understand passage, Jiang Cheng listened to it expressionlessly and thought of the disaster star in these words.

In just a few days, rumors about the Calamity Star have spread throughout the capital. Everybody knows, everybody knows. And the calamity star, Jiang Cheng thought about sitting in the carriage and suddenly tilted his body to the side, "And isn't that calamity related to Wen Qiao, who asked the court for food this time." ”

Wen Qiao was thousands of miles away in Fuzhou to deal with the floods, and his wife was rumored to be a disaster by the people in the capital. Rumors never come out of nowhere, and someone must be behind this incident. Wynne, it looks like we're going to suffer a catastrophe this time.

Huai'en Houfu, who has a dazzling status and honor in the capital, doesn't know if he can survive this catastrophe this time. The sound of the coachman drinking the horses came from outside the carriage, Jiang Cheng shook his head, and threw out all the thoughts that he shouldn't have in his head.

He sat up straight, and then the coachman's respectful voice came outside, "My lord, it's here." The curtain was lifted, and there were already men under the carriage with a bench under the carriage. Jiang Cheng got out of the carriage, and the housekeeper who had been serving him for many years ran to him with steps.

"My lord, the third prince is here." The housekeeper lowered his voice and told Jiang Cheng such a sentence.

Jiang Cheng, who had just walked to the gate of Jiang's Mansion, paused, the muscles on half of his face twitched slightly, turned his head to look at the housekeeper, and asked, "How long have you been here?" The butler replied, "It's been two hours since I came."

Two hours. Jiang Cheng's heart sank when he heard this, and he quickened his walking speed and walked towards Jiang Mansion with a flick of his sleeves. At this time, it was almost nighttime, and he had been inspecting the granary outside the capital with the people of the treasury all afternoon, who knew that the third prince would come to him!

And it's been two hours since it came! Jiang Cheng quickly calculated in his heart, and even guessed most of the reasons why he came with the third prince this time. He has always been an idle job before, although he chose the third prince after the previous prince, but the third prince has always been painless to him during this period.

Now seeing that he was chosen by the emperor to do something, he actually ran to him right away! Jiang Cheng couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart as he walked inside, "He's not afraid of being caught by the emperor!" If you want to do this kind of thing, don't do it so obviously!

Jiang Cheng scolded in his heart, but when he walked to the door of the front hall to pick up the guests, a smile instantly appeared on his face. The third prince just put down the teacup in his hand, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Jiang Cheng who had already walked in. Jiang Cheng stood still a few steps away from the third prince, bowed his head slightly and raised his hand to make a gesture to him.

"Your Highness." Jiang Cheng shouted. There was a gloom in the eyes of the third prince, no matter when, he always looked like this, gloomy and didn't know what he was thinking.

The third prince looked up at Jiang Cheng, nodded lightly, and said "um". After Jiang Cheng sat down opposite him, he said directly: "I haven't had time to congratulate Master Jiang yet, I got a good errand."

"Where." Jiang Cheng, who was sitting opposite the third prince, smiled awkwardly, and said: "The minister was also ordered by His Majesty by mistake, otherwise where would I get my turn on such an errand." There are many capable people in this court, and Jiang Cheng has almost no limelight in it.

This time it was indeed the same as he said, and he was ordered by the emperor by mistake. The third prince hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile and said, "But isn't this errand now an adult?" The implication is that whether the emperor intended it or not, he has now been identified.

Jiang Cheng had to nod in agreement.
