Chapter 117: King Zheng settles the fundraising problem for Su Ruanmei
After Han Santong finished speaking, Prime Minister Shangguan asked him to sit down and talk back.
"I wonder if Lord Han can tell me your plan to Benxiang."
Prime Minister Shangguan said this, Han Santong talked about the water control plan again, and after Han Santong finished speaking, Prime Minister Shangguan stroked his beard and said.
"The budget of your plan is indeed too high, I think it is an extraordinary period now, and the manual aspect can be replaced by forced labor or criminals, which can save at least 150,000 yuan, as well as stone and civil engineering, you can also use local materials in Cangshan and other places, which can also save 200,000 yuan, and some other details can be talked about again, the Ministry of Industry is not dissatisfied with your plan, but feels that you have many links that can be flexible, and it is urgent to control the water, you will go back and re-designate the plan now, and give the budget to the prime minister, and the prime minister will help you find a way."
After Prime Minister Shangguan finished speaking, Han Santong nodded slightly.
Then Prime Minister Shangguan chatted with Su Ruanmei about other fundraising plans, and Prime Minister Shangguan also nodded again and again in agreement.
After Prime Minister Shangguan and Ma Gonggong left, Han Santong stood in front of Su Ruanmei's Songfeng Pavilion for a long time, and Su Ruanmei stood in the attic with a fan, looking at the Chaoyang Palace in the distance.
Early the next morning, Su Ruanmei went to the inner library, and after connecting with the inner library Yang Gonggong, Su Ruanmei asked Su Qi to make a record, and they first went to the warehouse in charge of the cloth silk linen, and found that the cloth inside was moldy, and Yang Gonggong was also very surprised by this matter.
"Father-in-law Yang, don't you have enough manpower in the inner library, and the cloth and silk are not well stored and taken care of."
Regarding Su Ruanmei's questioning, Yang Gonggong was also a little helpless.
"Su Yan people are happy and angry, these fabrics were still fine two days ago, and I don't know why they got moldy today."
Su Ruanmei picked up the fabric and looked at it, and found that the fabric was moldy not for a day or two, but seeing that Yang Gonggong didn't seem to be lying, Su Ruanmei secretly wondered again, could it be that someone had done something in the inner library, Su Ruanmei went to look at other warehouses, and found that there were problems with everything inside, and Yang Gonggong was directly frightened and sat on the ground.
"Father-in-law Yang, how did you do an errand, the people under your noses are so unclean, you didn't notice it."
Su Ruanmei pointed at Yang Gonggong and yelled, Yang Gonggong was so frightened that he trembled, and fainted after a while, thinking that someone deliberately wanted to embarrass Su Ruanmei, and I don't know who this person is, he can run rampant in the inner library.
On the one hand, Su Ruanmei reported the matter to the little emperor, and on the other hand, she asked the eunuchs in the inner library to sort out the things that could still be used, as for the investigation of this matter, I am afraid that there will be no results in the short term.
Su Ruanmei wanted the little emperor to allocate tens of thousands of taels of silver from the treasury to her as capital, but the little emperor politely refused, after all, looking for Su Ruanmei was to let her earn money, so there was a reason to post it upside down.
After Su Ruanmei went back to Songfeng Pavilion, she also felt a headache, and at this time, King Zheng extended an olive branch to Su Ruanmei.
An unknown little father-in-law came to Songfeng Pavilion and sent a letter to Su Ruanmei, saying that His Royal Highness King Zheng was willing to help Su Ruanmei and help her raise funds, but he just hoped that he could continue with Su Ruanmei in Daxiangguo Temple tonight.
The little father-in-law arranged a carriage for Su Ruanmei, and then showed the waist card to the general guarding the city, Su Ruanmei threw the curtain and found that the waist card seemed to be the brand of a concubine in the harem.
Su Ruanmei and the little father-in-law came to the Daxiangguo Temple, and the acquaintance took Su Ruanmei to a good incense room in the East Wing, and when Su Ruanmei entered the wing, she saw more than a dozen people with heads and faces sitting inside, but King Zheng was not present.
Gao Shiqi saw Su Ruanmei walking into the incense room, so he took the initiative to leave his seat and stepped forward to greet Su Ruanmei.
"Miss Su, you're finally here, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
Gao Shiqi said and hugged the fan and made a joke to Su Ruanmei, and Su Ruanmei also squatted slightly and made a blessing to Gao Shiqi.
"Senior brother, His Royal Highness King Zheng invited me here to discuss the matter of raising money and food, why did he call so many dignitaries and dignitaries."
Regarding Su Ruanmei's question, Gao Shiqi opened the fan and slapped it twice.
"Miss Su, why can't you understand His Royal Highness King Zheng's hard work for you. I think these people are all prominent families in Zhongzhou, if you want to pick up money in the hands of the rich, you can't help but have the support and help of these people. ”
After Gao Shiqi finished speaking, he raised his hand and asked Su Ruanmei to sit in the front position.
After Su Ruanmei sat down, Gao Shiqi stood in the middle of everyone and said to everyone.
"His Royal Highness King Zheng is looking for you to come today, mainly because of the big flood in Cangzhou, now the imperial treasury is empty, and there is really no money to control the floods and relieve refugees, you must know that there are many refugees, and it is a very fatal problem to not be able to resettle, just imagine that a person is about to starve to death, will he take risks to do extreme things, this no one can predict, according to the latest news of the contemptible people, there are at least 90,000 refugees who have arrived in Huaidi, and will squeeze into Zhongzhou in less than seven days, At that time, if the imperial court can't appease these refugees, I am afraid that there will be more incidents in the Zhongzhou territory, so His Royal Highness King Zheng called you over, not only to talk about state affairs, but also to talk about private affairs, and I hope you will consider it carefully. ”
After Gao Shiqi finished speaking, he gave up his hand again, and then retreated and sat next to Su Ruanmei.
"Brother Gao, how can we all lay people understand this national matter, you still hand over His Royal Highness King Zheng, what he says, we will give it, as long as we don't want our concubine, the main house can also be considered."
A big official with a flower on his head shouted at everyone, causing everyone to laugh, Gao Shiqi saw that this person was not a good stubble, so he bowed his hand to him slightly.
"It is rumored in the outside world that Ouyang Daguan is suave and suave, and he has a good family, and today it seems that he really lives up to his reputation, His Royal Highness King Zheng will come over later because he still has official business to deal with, and this Miss Su is here to explain to you the content of the national debt, which is also a very important matter."
After Gao Shiqi finished speaking, the rich people present began to talk about it, some were discussing the matter of national bonds, and some were discussing Su Ruanmei.
"Oh, Miss Su, I don't know where this Miss Su is, but she can also share her worries for His Royal Highness King Zheng."
As soon as Ouyang's words fell, the little father-in-law standing next to Su Ruanmei rushed directly to Ouyang and rewarded him with a big ear sticker.
Ouyang Daguan was also stunned by such a beating, he looked at Gao Shiqi, but Gao Shiqi just took a sip of tea, and didn't see what happened just now.
"Where did you come from, little brute, to dare to ......?"
Ouyang Daguan wanted to fight back, but the little father-in-law took out a waist card and aimed it at Ouyang Daguanren, Ouyang Daguan saw it and immediately settled down, Ouyang Daguan saw that none of the people present were willing to speak up for him, so he kicked away the table and said to everyone.
"The concubine was infected with a cold last night, and she is waiting for me to get medicine for her."
