"The affairs of the cabinet are not something that I, a gardener, can inquire about, it seems that someone deliberately conceals the whereabouts of this batch of grain money, and I can't tell the specifics."

"Wouldn't it be better to be greedy when converted into silver taels?"

"yes." Qingyu nodded, he didn't expect the imperial court to arrive so soon.

"When did these silver taels start to be shipped away?" Ming Weiran said.

"Fifteen days ago, five or six days later, I will be in Xining. I'm afraid Xu Maochang must be greedy this time. ”

"How?"

"The silver was supposed to be transported to the neighboring province of Xizhang, and directly bought grain and shipped it to Xining, but I just heard the little eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor say that Xu Maochang had already arrived in Xizhang, and the grain affairs were all under the management of the political envoy, even if he did it himself, he couldn't let go of the affairs of a province, and take care of the grain money that was distributed as usual every year, and the grain payment had not yet arrived, and he couldn't wait."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Qingyu raised her eyes: "I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Ming Weiran pondered: "Find a way to tell Xu Si that there are people in Xining who are corrupt." ”

"How can this work, first of all, Xu Si has been with Xu Tian for decades, and it is the relationship between superiors and subordinates, how can he expose it to his face? And Xu Tian's people have been greedy for ink for many years, Xu Si probably knew it a long time ago, just pretending to be deaf and dumb, even if Xu Si asked people to check, the entire Xining, from top to bottom, is Xu Tian's people, who dares to expose Xu Maochang if they want to live? ”

"What then?" Ming Weiran was a little stunned.

"That's ...... Let's let Xu Maochang be greedy for this money first, and when people starve to death in Xining, there will be anti-people, and if Xining is in chaos, the imperial court will thoroughly investigate the matter, and then Xu Maochang will be unable to escape the law. ”

"But how do you know that there will be anti-people?"

"It's up to you, you need to contact your cronies and ask her to go to Xining to find a group of people to incite trouble, and it's expected that Xining will be in chaos." Qingyu added, "She is your uncle's daughter, your aunt, I told you. ”

"This relationship is not far away, but it is not close." Ming Weiran said, "Then how can I tell her?" ”

"It will only take two days to send the letter, and her province is very close to Xining, and she hates Xu Tian and his party for not a day or two."

"Inciting trouble, once discovered, but go to jail, we can't use her." Ming Weiran felt that this matter was not glorious.

"First of all, she doesn't have to do it herself, and second, she has a deep relationship with your family and will help with this. And even if she doesn't agree, Xining's anti-people success rate is ninety percent, and this year is a disaster year, and the food is expensive. ”

"Okay." Ming Weiran lowered her head and seemed to have something on her mind, but it was difficult to speak, "I think...... Or ......"

"What?"

"It's okay, I'll go back first."

Qingyu nodded.

Ming Weiran walked out of the door of Hanfangyuan with small steps, the weather was very cold, Ming Weiran still chose to sit in the pavilion, blowing the wind.

This situation is so similar, it is also the same situation, in the Ming Dynasty 1566, Zhang Juzheng in order to trip up Yan Song's party, in the matter of changing rice to mulberry, that is, he wanted to let Zhejiang go into chaos, force out the anti-people, and thus force down the Yan party.

"You can't control this, and I can't do it either."

"Zhejiang must die, 100,000 dead people is a number, and 1 million dead people is also a number!"

"Heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs, and saints are unkind and people are dogs!"

Ming Weiran thought about those words over and over again. [This is a line from the Ming Dynasty 1566]

Is it really necessary to die in the face of such a thing? Do you really want to treat the people as dogs for the sake of a corrupt official? I'm not a saint, but I'm not a dog!

No, you can't!

But when I first arrived, I didn't know much about the situation here, if I couldn't trip Xu Maochang at this time, if this Xu Maochang got worse in the future, would more people die?

What to do?

Or...... Let's listen to Qingyu, you can't rely on enthusiasm to do things.

Never mind! No matter!

Qingyu sat under the big pear tree, quietly looking at the falling pear blossoms, heard the sound of the door being pushed open, smiled lightly, and then lifted the teapot, poured the tea cup in front of him, and pushed it in front of the person who pushed the door in.

"Here again so soon?" Qingyu said slowly.

"Hmm."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't think you're doing it right." Ming Weiran seemed to be ruthless and said, she still couldn't convince herself, she couldn't let so many people be treated as dogs just because she wanted to get rid of a corrupt official! Whether he acted with enthusiasm or not, he told himself the night before the crossing: If he was an official, he would definitely do his best to protect his people.

Qingyu lowered her head and smiled, as if everything was expected: "What's wrong?" ”

"We can't afford to lose the lives of so many people for a corrupt official!"

"But this is a great opportunity to trip Xu Maochang, don't you still want to go home? If you want to go home, you have to take this first step. Qingyu looked at the girl with a serious face in front of her.

Ming Weiran sat in front of Qingyu, looked at him, and said in a serious tone: "Qingyu, I can't say anything righteous and awe-inspiring, but it's really not okay to see death like this, we can save them, but we don't care about it, but instead incite them to make trouble, the people just want to live a stable life, if it weren't for a few mouthfuls of food, no one would want to be anti-people." ”

Qingyu nodded, looking at the girl in front of her, with more admiration in her eyes.

Qingyu said secretly, I thought that she would support her strategy because she wanted to go home, and she would not come again, or understand the situation again, and come back in a few days, but she didn't expect that she would speak for "her own people" so soon, and the "Chosen Son" was right.

"And what are you going to do?"

"What if...... If there is one person, or a clean official, is it okay to let this person cooperate with the supervision and development of disaster food? Ming Weiran said this quickly, and seemed a little nervous, because she knew that this method was difficult to do, and the difficulty was that she was going to find the Qing official.

"It's a coincidence, but there is a candidate here, also a Xining person, a month ago, bluntly admonished, saying that the emperor should not build a large number of buildings, snub the mother of a country, and said that the emperor is still inexperienced, should be admonished. Although he is only a six-grade official, but he cares about the world, once served in Xining, when the emperor went to Xining Weifu for a private visit, he saw him wearing cloth clothes to accompany the people to plough the fields, saw that his instruments were extraordinary, and went to talk, only to know that it was a prefect of Xining, the emperor was greatly moved, and brought him to the court, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, he has not been reused, and it is difficult to contribute to state affairs, if he is transferred to Xining, then the people of Xining have hope. ”

When Ming Weiran heard this person's experience, she felt a lot more admiration in her heart, "What's his name?" Will he agree to go? ”

"Yes, he'll go, I can guarantee that. His surname is Yu, Yu's Yu, a single name. Qingyu said exactly.

"Yu Cheng?"

"Yes, if you want to save the people of Xining, let him go, but you must report this matter today, because it will take five or six days for the imperial court to arrive in Xining at the earliest, and it will be five or six days before the disaster relief grain arrives in Xining, and even if you report it today, he has to prepare."
