Chapter 584
Gu Shangqing said: "Okay, my brother will accompany you to the Ministry of Industry now." But ......"
Gu Shangqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "But if we meet that kid who doesn't open our eyes, we will have to work hard." ”
The second son of the Feng family
Blind boy? Su Jinyao thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Are you talking about Feng Shusheng's second brother?" ”
"Who else but him." Gu Shangqing rolled his eyes at the sky and said, "The flood in the south has caused the Ministry of Industry to open its mouth. Feng Zhongjing, that kid, pestered me every day to ask for money. ”
Su Jinyao thought of what she heard from Manager Yue in the emperor's bedroom in the morning, and said: "It is not easy for the people, and the Ministry of Industry asks for money for the livelihood and safety of the people. ”
"Yes, they are for the people." Gu Shangqing shook his head helplessly and said, "Jin Yao, Hubu is not a place where you can mine and smelt and produce a large number of silver ingots every day. To put it bluntly, our household department is in charge of the accounts. The Ministry of War wants money for defense, the Ministry of Rites wants money for diplomacy, the Ministry of Officials asks for money for salaries, the Ministry of Industry wants money for disaster relief, and our household department only has no account in the account. ”
Su Jinyao deliberately broke her fingers to calculate, and then asked as if she was carrying it, "What about the Criminal Department?" It seems that the Criminal Department didn't come to ask for money? ”
Gu Shangqing snapped his fingers and said, "It's the best in the Criminal Department." The Criminal Department was responsible for arresting corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and after raiding their homes, their money filled the treasury. To say, we have the best relationship between the household department and the criminal department, and they are about to become our food and clothing parents. ”
Su Jinyao laughed "hehe" when she heard this. Then he said: "Okay, don't complain, let's go to the Ministry of Industry first." Now that I have the title deed in hand, I can arrange those Gu family troops. ”
Gu Shangqing sighed and said, "Yes, let's go." You have a piece of paper with the emperor's treasure seal here, and our household department has less than three hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”
Su Jinyao knew that Gu Shangqing was not targeting herself, so she said: "I understand, I won't take this money privately, I will take it out to build a welfare village." In the future, my welfare village will get bigger and bigger, and adopting many elderly people and children will also be equivalent to contributing to the Cloud Dome Country. ”
Gu Shangqing nodded, pointed to the front, and said, "Turn west for the first three streets, and one more street is the Ministry of Industry." Let the carriage slow down, and I'll just walk along. ”
Su Jinyao gave the order to start, and Gu Shangqing and Mingjuan walked all the way by Su Jinyao's carriage.
There were occasional chats on the way, and Su Jinyao smiled and asked some things about Gu Shangqing and the three brothers of the Feng family (qíng).
Gu Shangqing was sarcastic and contemptuous, and said that the three brothers of the Feng family were particularly unbearable.
For example, how violent the boss of the Feng family was when he was a child, he bullied all the children of the same age. In the end, only Gu Shangqing could match him.
For example, the second eldest of the Feng family is scheming, the eldest is responsible for fighting, and the second is responsible for finding various reasons or using various means to cover up the bad things done by their brothers.
As for the third child of the Feng family, he has been cheeky since he was a child, and he insisted on eating and drinking in the Gu family for nothing, pretending to have a very good relationship with the Gu family.
Su Jinyao laughed even more when she heard this, and said, "But I know that Feng Shusheng didn't mean to pretend to have a good relationship with the Gu family. He really wanted to have a good relationship with the Gu family. ”
Gu Shangqing pursed his lips and was noncommittal. In fact, as long as you are a clear-eyed person with a heart, you can more or less see Feng Shusheng's heart for Gu Yuxuan.
A pair of childhood sweethearts, boys spoil girls who don't know the world, this book (shēn) is a kind of protection.
Presumably, if Gu Yuxuan can really be with Feng Shusheng, it will also be a kind of happiness.
Girls don't have to grow up, they will always be as simple and light as a little girl
Song, because when she was a child, she had a maiden family that was enough for her to be pampered, and when she became an adult, she had a husband who spoiled her for unlimited things without her (cāo).
The road is not far, and after a few words, you will arrive at the entrance of the industrial department.
As soon as the guards in front of the door saw Gu Shangqing, they immediately came forward to greet him attentively. In the eyes of these guards, Gu Shangqing is undoubtedly a silver representing white flowers, just like a boy who scatters wealth.
Gu Shangqing put on the boss's posture and pointed at Su Jinyao's carriage.
Only then did the guard remove his eyes that were about to shine on Gu Shangqing (shēn), and thus saw the mark of the prince's mansion on Su Jinyao's carriage.
"It's ...... The crown princess arrived? The guard was stunned for a moment, thinking that the crown prince (diàn) is not in the capital now, so it must be the crown princess sitting in this carriage.
Mingjuan lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing Su Jinyao sitting inside, and then said, "The crown princess has a piece of music to send over, go and pass it." ”
As soon as the guard heard that it was a song, he immediately answered and ran inside.
After a while, a young man in his twenties came out of it.
However, as soon as Gu Shangqing saw this person, he whispered "tsk" twice and smacked his teeth fiercely.
Looking at Gu Shangqing's reaction, Su Jinyao knew that this should be the "kid who doesn't open his eyes" as he said.
This Feng Zhongjing's appearance is not very similar to Feng Shusheng, not as handsome as Feng Shusheng. is a square face, thick eyebrows and a wide mouth, and he doesn't look like a thief.
It's hard to imagine how this upright and generous young man could be the scheming guy Gu Shangqing said in his mouth.
"Feng Zhongjing gave the crown princess a salute. Big brother Gu is good, little brother is polite. As soon as Feng Zhongjing came out, he gave gifts to Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing respectively, and his attitude was still very good.
However, Su Jinyao found that when Feng Zhongjing spoke, his eyes flickered slightly, obviously this person also had a mind, and his mind was constantly thinking about things (qíng).
Gu Shangqing ignored him, arched his hand casually, and said to Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, please come out of the emperor's recital." ”
Su Jinyao nodded, first got off the horse, and then sent the emperor's share of the recital to Feng Zhongjing with both hands.
But Feng Zhongjing stretched out his hand to take it, but Gu Shangqing blocked in front of him and said, "Second Young Master Feng, this is a recital sent by the emperor. Anyway, you have to invite the princess in first, please take a seat, and then take a good look at it, right? ”
"Yes, Brother Gu reminded me." Feng Zhongjing was not angry, and hurriedly withdrew his outstretched hand, bent down sideways, and made a "please" gesture.
Su Jinyao was secretly amused, thinking that Gu Shangqing was the one who was making trouble unreasonably, and this Feng Zhongjing looked good.
While walking towards the Ministry of Industry, Feng Zhongjing said: "Crown Princess Qiyu, the two adults of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and Shilang have just entered the palace again. Therefore, I am the only one in charge of the Ministry of Industry now, and you, the emperor, have sent a recital...... Is it about the south side of the flood? ”
Su Jinyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she turned her head to look at Feng Zhongjing carefully. Then there was a glimmer of light in his lowered eyelids.
Su Jinyao understood, this Feng Zhongjing really had a scheming, and he also had a purpose in asking questions like this. He deliberately led the topic to the floods in the south, and the next step is probably to reach out to Gu Shangqing and ask for money.
Feng Zhongjing's difficulty
Su Jinyao didn't want to be led by the nose, so she stopped directly, looked at Feng Zhongjing and said, "Second brother of the Feng family, the music in my hand is not about the floods in the south. Is that something unrelated (qíng) that can't be mentioned? ”
"Oh, no, no, no. It's just that the villain is too anxious, and when he thinks of the people who were affected by the torrential rain, his heart is confused. Feng Zhongjing still calls himself a villain, obviously deliberately drawing a line.
He added: "Since this piece of music was returned by the emperor, it must also be something important (qíng). Princess, please, let's go in and talk in detail. ”
After saying that, Feng Zhongjing quickened his pace and kept silent.
It seems that this guy is really difficult to deal with. There is scheming, and there is also measure.
When he came to the guest room of the Ministry of Industry, Feng Zhongjing gave Su Jinyao the upper seat, Gu Shangqing in the second seat, and he himself sat in the guest seat, looking very respectful.
When Su Jinyao handed over the fold in her hand again, Feng Zhongjing returned (shēn) and took it with both hands, but it didn't take Mingjuan to transfer the fold to him.
Su Jinyao didn't speak, just kept observing Feng Zhongjing's watch (qíng) and movements. She thinks that this person is really leaky in doing things, and his temper is also very forbearing, this kind of person should be able to become a climate.
It's just that only Feng Shusheng and Su Jinyao are close to the Feng family, and it is the first time she has seen this Feng Zhongjing, and her impression is good, but Su Jinyao can't even see through this person at a glance.
Feng Zhongjing carefully read the fold from beginning to end, then closed the fold, respectfully put it aside, and said, "Princess, please wait a moment." "And he got up (shēn) and went out.
After a while, Feng Zhongjing came back with two long scrolls and put them on the table. Then he slowly unfolded it and said to Su Jinyao: "Please ask the crown princess to come over and take a look, and see if the location that the villain is referring to is the piece of land mentioned by Lord Gu in the recital." ”
Su Jinyao Qi (shēn) walked over and saw that the two scrolls turned out to be two maps.
Feng Zhongjing's subordinates now refer to a large area of the range map. With the land that Su Jinyao wanted as the center, some towns, hills, and roads within dozens of miles around it were marked.
The next map is a detailed map, which marks the terrain and landform in detail. And there is a note in small print next to it, which states that this land is also recorded in the history books, and it was someone who set up a formation at some point.
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." ”
Feng Zhongjing picked up the fold again and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning. Shaking his head, he said: "Crown Princess Qiyu, there are a few marks in this fold, which do not match the details of my Ministry of Engineering. The villain felt that he should wait until the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and Lord Shilang came back to discuss, and then sign the title deed. You must know that if the title deed does not match the mark on the map of the Ministry of Industry, the title deed is invalid. ”
"You mean that Prime Minister Gu made a mistake in writing the fold?" Gu Shangqing spoke first. said: "If this is the case, it is better to go directly to the emperor and tell the emperor that there is a suspicion here, and it must be seriously investigated, otherwise the title deed will be invalid." ”
After speaking, Gu Shangqing looked at Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, let's go with the song." ”
Of course, Su Jinyao knew that there was no big problem with the labeling at all, even if Prime Minister Gu was not from the Ministry of Industry, but he wanted to check a piece of land
It's going to go wrong.
And the emperor has given instructions and rewarded this land to himself, so whose words can be bigger than the emperor.
It is estimated that the root cause is that Feng Zhongjing deliberately delayed. Anyway, sooner or later, he has to sign sooner or later, and it will be a little difficult for him to delay it now, but others can only say that he is too serious about his business and can't find fault with him.
But Su Jinyao doesn't believe in evil, and she also has a lot of strength in her bones. Since this matter (qíng) is difficult to do, she has to do it quickly.
Su Jinyao walked around, stood on the same side as Feng Zhongjing, carefully looked at the annotations on it, and then compared the folds in her hand.
After looking at it for a while, Su Jinyao smiled and said, "The second brother of the Feng family has such a good eyesight, and he can distinguish such a small number of inconsistencies." However, if you look at this picture in your hand, the survey period marked on it was seven years ago, and my piece of paper was handed over to the emperor by the ancient prime minister today. In seven years, when a dozen trees grow from a small age, it is possible that the area of the forest will increase and the land area will decrease. Also, I've been to the trail on the map, so I don't know what it looks like, but now the roadbed is still there, but weeds have already covered the road, so it's normal that the road surface has decreased. ”
"This ...... It's also possible. Feng Zhongjing was also helpless when Su Jinyao said it, so he had to admit it.
He was originally nitpicky and had nothing to do, if he hadn't looked at Gu Shangqing as an eyesore, he wouldn't have the heart to make things difficult.
But let him open his eyes and say nonsense, and insisted that Su Jinyao ignored it, he didn't dare.
Su Jinyao smiled, and when she saw that Feng Zhongjing admitted it, she had no intention of continuing to investigate. To be forgiving and forgiving, this is also Su Jinyao's style.
After all, the Feng family had already deliberately fallen to the side of the prince, and Su Jinyao might as well take this opportunity to give Feng Zhongjing a step, so that he could completely stand on Gu Xuebin's side like Feng Shusheng.
Su Jinyao turned her head to look at Gu Shangqing and said, "Brother, these discrepancies are just minor problems, and they need to be discussed carefully, which is also the responsibility of the second brother of the Feng family." I've been to that place before, why don't I discuss it with him first, and you go outside and wait for me?" ”
Gu Shangqing had also been to that place, but he understood that Su Jinyao said this and deliberately asked him to avoid it first.
Gu Shangqing doesn't bird Feng Zhongjing, but this sister will not give Su Jinyao face. Therefore, after Su Jinyao finished speaking, Gu Shangqing glared at Feng Zhongjing again, and then got up (shēn) and went out.
When Gu Shangqing left, Su Jinyao no longer looked at the two maps in Feng Zhongjing's hand. Instead, he sat back in his original position and said with a smile: "I shouted at the second brother of the Feng family, just to get closer to the second brother." I also understand what the second brother means, it's nothing more than wanting to ask for more silver from the household, right? ”
"What the Gu family girl said was really direct." Feng Zhongjing also smiled, and his upright appearance made this person even more generous, which made people unwary at all.
Feng Zhongjing said: "Actually, every penny of the silver Ministry invited from the household department was used on the people's (shēn). However, the household department insisted on withholding half of the money and not disbursing it, did it really make our people from the Ministry of Industry carry hoes and shovels and personally go to the south to block the embankment and dig the flood outlet? Even if we fill all the people in the Ministry of Engineering in sacks and block the embankment, I am afraid that it will not be enough for a flood peak to rush through. In the end, it was the people who suffered. ”
She's going to the South
Su Jinyao listened to Feng Zhongjing's words, put up her thumbs, and said, "The second brother of the Feng family has a heart, which is also the blessing of the people." But has the second brother ever thought that this flood occurs every year, and the people suffer every year, isn't there a way to cure the symptoms and cure the root cause once and for all? The silver in the treasury is also the sweat of the people, and although the money paid is to be used for the people, it cannot all be used to block the flood peak. ”
"Of course." Feng Zhongjing sighed and said, "Every year, before the flood comes, our Ministry of Industry personally goes to the embankments everywhere to see them, and the supervisors are also strict in urging them to build the embankments as solid as gold. But...... Floods are raging, and they cannot be stopped by a few sections of dikes. ”
"So, what about not blocking, just dredging?" Su Jinyao's mind turned, and she thought of the story of Dayu's water control, so she said it casually.
Feng Zhongjing's eyes lit up, but they gloomed again. Then he said: "I understand, the sister of the Gu family is also a person who worries about the people, and her insight is also quite high. It's just that the big river is easy to manage, but there are many tributaries below. The main river channel has been dredged, and there are still problems on the tributaries. What's more, how can there be so much manpower and material resources to dredge the entire southern waterway? It's just that it is passed every year, blocked every year, and the flood still occurs after (rì). ”
Su Jinyao frowned, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
Feng Zhongjing sighed a few times and said, "Okay." I'm a person who is a (xìng) sub 犟, (ài) care. Originally, I didn't have a grudge against the eldest brother of the Gu family, and the matter just now (qíng) was not intended to make things difficult. I also know the difficulties of the household, and it is not a matter of Gu Da Ge being the master of the silver (qíng) alone. ”
After speaking, Feng Zhongjing rolled up the two maps spread out on the table again, and then took a booklet exclusive to the Ministry of Industry, unfolded it and wrote it inside.
When he had finished writing, he took another stamp, and then took his name stamp from his waist and stamped it on the booklet one by one.
Feng Zhongjing handed the written booklet to Su Jinyao and said, "This is the title deed issued by the Ministry of Industry, with the seal of the Ministry of Industry and my name seal, and since then that land has been in the name of the Gu family's sister." Moreover, the concubines under the crown prince (diàn) can be hereditary. ”
The concubine refers to the heir born to the wife, and the side room does not have access to the hereditary land.
In other words, even if Gu Xuebin really accepts concubines or concubines in the future, this land is also in Su Jinyao's name, and only the children born to Su Jinyao can inherit it.
Su Jinyao put away the local deed, smiled a little embarrassedly, and took out the paper sign that the emperor had stamped with the imperial treasure, and said: "Second brother of the Feng family, you see that you also need to affix a seal to prove that the title deed has been issued, and then hand it over to the household department for retention." ”
