Chapter 388: Something Interesting
Jiang Muyuan responded, and according to his train of thought, he explained to the saint one by one.
He first praised the Holy One, and what king did not want his people to live in peace and contentment.
"In the prosperous place of the capital, the people live their lives, although there are a few rich people, most of them have no worries about food and clothing, and the people below are a little tight, but they basically have a head."
Sure enough, after listening to this, the saint snorted and laughed: "If you can go to the wine shop and teahouse from time to time to listen to the books, how can their days be tight?" ”
That's not entirely true.
Who doesn't love to watch a lively show? Life is already very hard, and people are not allowed to have some fun?
Moreover, the rich go to the teahouse and wine shop, and the moneyless stand in the streets and alleys and talk, joining in the excitement and not sticking to the place.
Jiang Muyuan only smiled faintly and did not refute, and continued: "But there are still some people in Beijing who are having a particularly hard time, some have worked hard for several years and have not made a doorway, and some have been white-headed overnight in the face of a catastrophe.
There was even a 'robbery of the rich and helping the poor', stealing officials' homes and relieving the poor, and the one hanging from the beam was the widow of the man who had an accident in the Guandi Temple last year.
In addition, the victims of last year's fire, although the court has a lot of relief after the accident, there are still many families who are in a state of collapse.
In the long run, I am afraid that there will be dissatisfaction with the imperial court.
Therefore, I pondered that not everyone could come, and I had to go to the yamen to prepare cases in the yamen during this half month.
Beggars on the streets, victims from the two lakes, people affected by the fires in Beiyi and Beier Hutongs last year, and people in distress were seated.
They had a good meal in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was a roster in the yamen, and it would be clear in the future, no matter what went wrong, it would be difficult to go up again.
It is also necessary to avoid the recurrence of the disaster victims freezing to death in the capital, as in the previous round, but the yamen does not know when they left their hometown and whether they have found their relatives to settle down after entering Beijing. ”
After hearing this, the saint pursed his lips and did not speak immediately.
Jin Peiying committed a crime in Lianghu, the case is very clear, he was greedy for the rebuilt silver, made such a dike, in order to cover up the crime, but also killed the imperial court official Cao Feng, and finally harmed hundreds of people, after the embankment broke, he did not think about rescue, but also wanted to continue to enrich his own pockets in the reconstruction.
Even if Jin Peiying has some relationship with Enrongbo's Mansion, there is no way for the Holy Lord to continue to keep Jin Peiying.
The treasury is empty, if the officials below are the same as Jin Peiying, then he, who is the emperor, won't he drink the northwest wind?
However, it is one thing to deal with Jin Peiying, and how things broke out is another.
Whether it is robbing the rich and helping the poor, or freezing to death in the capital, one ring after another, pointing to Jin Peiying, the purpose is too obvious, and the saint naturally sees some of the stories.
This is precisely because of the lack of understanding of the situation of the victims.
asked someone to perform a shadow puppet show with a thread, and the saint was not happy in his heart.
The saint also moved the mind of letting the Shuntianfu sort out the personnel, but the yamen has limited manpower, and the official business is busy on weekdays, so there is no benefit, and the victims may not all come to the yamen honestly, and there are many people who are naturally afraid of being officials, and they can hide as far as they can.
However, with the flowing water seat in front, it's different.
For the sake of a table of good dishes, the timid dare to poke forward.
If this is not investigated, there is no file in the yamen, and if something happens in the future, the government can not recognize the identity of the victim, and it is reasonable to say it.
"Something interesting." The saint nodded.
Jiang Muyuan said with a smile: "Lord Huang is also worried about the fold, only the moon and the ban are punished, and the officials and the people have to mumble, but the mouth of eating people is soft, for the sake of those drinks and dishes, it is time to be merciful when scolding."
In this matter, the benefits belong to the court, and the silver does not cost you, what do you say? ”
The saint stroked his palms and laughed: "Or Ah Yuan will consider it for me, the Chengguo Mansion is not short of silver anyway, just take it out to relieve my worries!" ”
The direction was set, and the saint discussed a few details with Jiang Muyuan, and finally made a decision: "The running water banquet is mixed, and a large number of people must be transferred to maintain it."
The victims of the disaster will celebrate the festival, and the officials and officers and soldiers will also celebrate the festival, so it is better to change it to August 16.
The fifteenth moon and the sixteenth month, according to me, sixteen is also quite good. ”
Jiang Muyuan hurriedly said: "Uncle, you are thoughtful." ”
The matter was finalized, and the saint did not delay, and immediately drafted an edict to send the inner servant to the Chengguo Mansion.
The night was dark, and the Chengguo Mansion was anxious, for Duan Baoqi, it was better to be crackled and beaten like this if he waited so hard.
This feeling of going up and down in my heart is really tormenting.
When the chamberlain arrived and read the will, Cheng Guogong's family breathed a sigh of relief.
It is much better to spend money and other things to eliminate disasters than to punish others.
Cheng Guogong wiped his face, stuffed a big seal to the chamberlain, and said: "In the south and north of the city, there are a total of 100 flowing water seats, and the stage is overturned, I have never presided over such a big scene, but I will definitely try my best to do it well."
Tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, hot dishes and hot soup, the house alone may not be appropriate, we discussed it carefully for a day, and the day after tomorrow I handed the process arrangement excerpt to the saint. ”
The chamberlain responded with a smile: "Grandpa Guo is more prepared, and the saint attaches great importance to this flowing water seat." ”
Cheng Guogong nodded again and again, and asked tentatively, "This is the meaning of the saint?" ”
The waiter shook his head: "It was mentioned by the little grandfather of the Ningguo Mansion." ”
"Yo, that's a ...... Bao Zhen collided with the county lord and injured Miss Gu, and the little grandfather also proposed such a method for our sake, which is really ashamed and ashamed! Chengguo Mansion sighed.
Early the next morning, Shao Fu Yin was called into the palace and explained the matter of the statistical roster.
He returned to Shuntian Mansion and immediately started to ask people to post notices in the capital and Zhongguang, asking those who meet the conditions to go to the yamen to find official records.
It's only been one morning, and the news in Beijing is boiling.
Eating a Mid-Autumn Festival meal in vain, it is still good wine and good food, which is much more generous than the porridge of Laba, there are many poor people who wait and see, and there are also bold people who have entered the Shuntian Mansion.
Someone took the lead, and there were more and more one after another, Shaofu Yin counted, and the first day was mostly wait-and-see, and the three or four days before the opening of the banquet were the busiest times.
This matter is also being discussed in Suxiang Building.
A man ate two glasses of wine and laughed and said, "This punishment is a bit interesting, don't those two fathers and sons love to eat wine?" Don't you like mats? Then let them have a good time! It's a pity that my family is not so poor that they are not from the two lakes, and they can only smell the smell of meat and wine on the street. ”
"That's going to kill people," said another, "the Chengguo Mansion hates to serve a table full of good wine and good food to appease the anger of the saint." ”
Gu Yunjin didn't know about these noises at first, and he didn't hear about them until Jiang Muyuan came to visit.
