Chapter 192: Thousand Miles of Horses
Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Disaster must be relieved.
But, where does the food come from?
Shaofu and Hubu had insufficient food stocks, and Emperor Yongtai was so angry that he lost his temper again.
If it weren't for the inappropriate replacement at this time, Emperor Yongtai really wanted to remove the Shaofu family order and the household department Shangshu from their posts and investigate them, and select another competent person.
Disaster relief is urgent.
What's worse is that the disaster is getting worse and worse, and it is still expanding.
More and more places are in drought, with as little as a month without rain and as long as not a drop of rain in half a year.
Broken rivers are already the norm.
It is not uncommon for wells to run dry.
The implication is that not only is there a shortage of water for farming, but also for people and animals.
It's going to be fatal.
You can go a day without eating, but you can't go a day without water.
Held several days in a row.
Emperor Yongtai forced the courtiers to provide food, money, and people for disaster relief.
In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to kill officials.
killed three officials in one go, and finally barely suppressed all kinds of opposition from the imperial court.
Just like the rebellion of the princes and kings at the beginning of the Ping, the major families sent food and went to the major disaster areas for disaster relief.
The idea is very beautiful, and whether it can be realized depends on the conscience of the family, and whether the emperor's order can leave the capital.
After all, the last time the family gave out grain to help the court fight the princes and kings, because it involved a large exchange of interests. The families are naturally willing to give food.
But this time, the food relief was not of any benefit to the family.
Keeping the victims alive means that the number of acres of land purchased by their families at a low price will be affected.
The number of field slaves will also be affected.
As long as they can survive, no one wants to sell themselves as field slaves.
Sell yourself into slavery, that's really a slave!
Get up every day before dawn to work, work until dark, can't eat enough and don't have warm clothing, pigs and dogs are not as good. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he shall not rest until he dies.
If you want to escape from farm work by being sick and raining, dream!
A field slave is not a house slave, and he is not qualified to work when he is sick and rains.
One day as a field slave, a life as a field slave, don't want to get out for the rest of your life, until you die.
The family has a lot of land in their hands, and it takes a lot of people to cultivate it.
With field slaves, it is economical.
With just a little ration, you can get a free labor force.
It is cheaper than ploughing the land with oxen.
Because cattle eat a lot, they need to feed fat, they have to send people to graze, and they also need veterinarians......
People only need to eat a little bit, and they can go to work in the fields every day when they are hungry.
If you can't do it, you can fight!
Fight if you do it slowly!
How cheap a field slave is, it only costs a little money to work until he dies.
It's really more cost-effective than raising cattle and horses.
Natural disasters are the carnival of the family.
The victims are deep in hell, and the family has to step on it fiercely.
Therefore, disaster relief is not half beneficial to the family.
Even if the people are in turmoil, it will not affect them.
They have a trilogy, they have private soldiers.
A group of homeless people like chickens and dogs are in chaos, where can they fight with a group of soldiers who are out of production.
The Maison doesn't care about the victims.
But the emperor cares!
Jiangshan Sheji needs the support of this group of disaster victims.
There must be no chaos.
Mess up, the family is still a thousand-year-old family.
It is possible to change the dynasty of Jiangshan Sheji.
Emperor Yongtai knew that the family would not really help the disaster, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't force the courtiers too hard.
I only hate the incompetence of the household department and the Shaofu, and the food storage is not enough.
But if there is enough food, where do you need to ask grandpa to tell grandma.
Sun Bangnian quietly proposed, "Why don't you send Jin Wuwei out of Beijing to supervise the family's disaster relief." If someone violates the yang and the yin, let Jin Wuwei go out, arrest people, and kill a group directly! ”
This trick is ruthless enough and can also shock people's hearts.
But......
Emperor Yongtai thought about it carefully, shook his head and vetoed Sun Bangnian's proposal, "No! I can't push too hard, or they will join forces and I will be in big trouble. ”
Sun Bangnian sighed secretly.
His Majesty still lacks a little bit of ruthlessness, especially when facing the family.
Dealing with the princes and kings with the same surname, His Majesty is vicious enough and has made up his mind.
But dealing with the family, it is obvious that His Majesty is bound and does not dare to let go of his hands and feet to kill.
Sun Bangnian expressed his worries, "The old slave is worried that the family will not only not provide disaster relief, but will sit on the ground and raise prices, forcing the people to sell their sons and daughters." The old slave heard that the interest rate of some money banks has been as high as eight cents a month, and it is still profitable, as if robbing money. ”
Emperor Yongtai's face turned pale.
He couldn't hear such news, and when he heard it, he was furious, but he couldn't attack again.
He knows all about the owners behind those money houses.
But what is clear, even if he is the emperor, he can't easily touch those money.
Unless, he is ready to tear his face with the family.
He gritted his teeth, but remained silent.
Sun Bangnian sighed secretly, "Your Majesty, Jin Wuwei can't be idle. ”
"Shut up!"
Emperor Yongtai scolded sharply, "What else do you have to do besides letting Jin Wuwei go out of Beijing to kill people?" Someone needs to help now, not kill people. ”
"The old slave is guilty of death!"
Sun Bangnian knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.
He was also in a hurry, so he said something he shouldn't have said.
On weekdays, he would never say a word like that.
If today's conversation gets out, the family will definitely kill him.
He dared to incite the emperor to send Jin Wuwei to kill people, thieves, and not killing was not enough to level the world.
Emperor Yongtai took a deep breath, "Get up!" Hugh will talk nonsense in the future! As for disaster relief, I have my own plans. ”
"No!"
Sun Bang was sweating profusely and trembling.
In the following court discussions, most of the time it was still a joke.
Everyone said that there was a disaster relief, but there was no movement.
Everyone dragged it, and they had to drag it until they couldn't drag it anymore.
……
Zhong Shuyun scolded a maid, and then had an early attack and entered the delivery room.
After a day and a night of suffering, she gave birth to a brother as she wished.
She was satisfied.
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, was also smiling, and sent someone to the palace to report the good news as soon as possible.
Empress Tao was overjoyed when she learned that Zhong Shuyun had given birth to a son in front of Yan Yunqi. Give more than a dozen carts of gifts.
There are for children, there are for Zhong Shuyun, and there are rewards for the youngest son Xiao Chengyi.
Emperor Yongtai also gave a reward.
It's just that compared with Queen Tao's generosity, Emperor Yongtai is obviously a lot more stingy.
A longevity lock made of red gold, plus two pieces of jade, is all the reward.
Zhong Shuyun was very happy and put away the emperor's reward for the child.
Xiao Chengyi muttered two sentences in private, "My father is very poor now, and his rewards are so frugal." ”
……
The back garden of the Second Prince's Mansion.
Yan Yunfei asked her second sister Yan Yunqi, "Zhong Shuyun successfully gave birth to a son, is the second sister nervous?" ”
Yan Yunqi smiled: "I'm not nervous, but I'm relieved." When she gave birth to a son, I was free of pressure. In my child, I can give birth to both boys and girls. ”
"The second sister is also free and easy. It's only a few days away from production. ”
"Counting the expected delivery date, there are seven or eight days left."
Yan Yunqi stroked her abdomen, a little nervous.
The first pregnancy, the first child, the first motherhood, everything is unfamiliar, and tension is inevitable.
She was a little worried, "Big sister, look at my belly, is it too big?" Will it be difficult to give birth? ”
"Hugh is going to talk nonsense, your baby is very good, and it will go smoothly."
Yan Yunfei scolded softly, but it calmed Yan Yunqi's flustered heart.
She laughed out loud, "It's really fortunate that our three sisters can reunite in the capital at this time." When my eldest sister gives birth, I can also hold my nephew. ”
Yan Yunfei said: "I don't know if my baby is a man or a girl. ”
"Big sister will definitely be able to win a man in one fell swoop." Yan Yunqi was very serious.
Yan Yunfei laughed, "Accept your auspicious words!" ”
She also wants to give birth to a boy and compete with the group of stepsons of the Shi family.
Otherwise, just watching the group of stepsons make a fuss, she couldn't intervene, and she was very depressed.
In vain, she had five hundred guards in her hands, which was overkill.
The most important thing is that after giving birth to this child, the next time you want to get pregnant and have a child, I don't know when it will be when.
She asked Yan Yunqi, "Isn't the second prince's illness cured yet?" ”
Yan Yunqi shook her head, "The weather is dry, he can't stand it, and he has been raising it for a long time." Each time it is a slight relief, or it will worsen in a few days. The weather was just too bad. ”
Yan Yunfei smiled, "Some people wish that this weather would last." The court and the central government are about to go crazy for disaster relief, but His Royal Highness the Second Prince has not moved at all. He was able to hold his breath. ”
Yan Yunqi said with a smile: "He has a lot of ideas, and everything has been planned in advance. He didn't move now, presumably waiting for the right moment. ”
Yan Yunfei nodded, thinking about it in her heart.
In two days, Zhong Shuyun and the children of the three princes will wash the three, and she will also attend and give gifts to join in the fun.
At that time, she will take a good look at the third prince Xiao Chengyi.
……
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, gave everyone an accident, or was it a shock?
During the court discussion, he even offered to go out of Beijing for disaster relief.
The good name is to share the worries of his father and the emperor, and to share the worries of the court.
The courtiers were shocked.
If the son of a daughter can't sit down, how can a gentleman stand under a dangerous wall?
The three princes are simply fooling around.
In order to earn credit, he doesn't even care about his own danger.
Ridiculous!
Emperor Yongtai was very pleased.
In front of the courtiers, he personally helped Xiao Chengyi up, and said loudly: "My thousand-mile horse is also!" ”
A sentence of a thousand miles made the courtier's eyes bulge.
What do you mean by that?
Is that what they think?
Could it be that Your Majesty wants to appoint the third prince as the prince?
Everyone was shocked and looked at the third prince Xiao Chengyi frequently.
Could it be that he is a hidden master?
By playing a few words, you can get such affirmation from Your Majesty, amazing!
A sentence of a thousand miles is almost equivalent to half of the name.
Tut-tut......
Everyone sighed, and the third prince Xiao Chengyi was a high method, but he didn't know which master was behind him.
As everyone knows, the third prince Xiao Chengyi was also surprised.
He really wanted to go out of Beijing for disaster relief, and he didn't expect much in return.
But I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy.
Chirikoma, the meaning is profound.
He suppressed the joy in his heart and said solemnly: "The son will not live up to his father's expectations." ”
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Emperor Yongtai said three good words in a row, you can imagine how excited he was.
When everyone was prevaricating, his own son took the initiative to stand up and take heavy responsibility, could he be unhappy.
