Chapter 448: Donations
Qin Yining was a little surprised when she heard this, "You arranged someone?" ”
"Yes, when I went out, I was worried that we would lose contact with the outside world, and I didn't know any news at that time. So I arranged for someone to put me next to my father-in-law, who was an extremely smart man and knew when to send me news, and he was in charge of inquiring, and my people were in charge of sending letters. In this way, we can ensure that we know the most reliable news in the capital. ”
Qin Yining was even more surprised. This matter was actually returned to Qin Huaiyuan's handiwork.
"You didn't tell me when you consulted with my father."
"It's not a secret, this idea was first told to me by my father-in-law, and I just remembered it, Sister Yi, my father-in-law is really powerful, thoughtful, and good at scheming, to be honest, my staff and strategists may not be as good as a father-in-law."
Qin Yining could see that Xiao Xiao really admired Qin Huaiyuan, and he didn't deliberately say this to coax her.
Qin Huaiyuan is a good father, and he is indeed worthy of the reputation of "Zhi Pan'an", for Qin Yining, Qin Huaiyuan has always been her pride and the backing for her to always move forward.
Just like this time, she came out with Xiao Xiao, because she knew that whether it was the Qin family or the Xiao family in the capital, as long as there was a father, everything would be fine. That's why she's so relieved.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Before I went out, I saw that you and your father always met, it turned out that they had conspired so many things, and they didn't tell me." ”
"What is it, I have no plot." Xiao Xiao finally coaxed his daughter-in-law to be happy, and his mood improved a lot.
They burned the note of the secret decree. He whispered again.
On this day, they did not do anything else, simply ate some gruel, and rested early.
This is the first time in a long time that Qin Yining has been sleeping in a serious bed, Qin Yining was tired of traveling, and almost fell asleep with a pillow.
Xiao Xiao's body is strong, and it is nothing for him to come here, because he is still energetic at this time, but Qin Yining slept beside him into a ball of warm fragrant nephrite, and let him be careful with his movements of holding her in his arms, where can he move other thoughts?
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Xiao Xiao went to the front room to discuss business with Gong You.
"Lord Gong, although I don't know when the holy rice will arrive, but now we should still set up porridge sheds and medical sheds, now there are people starving to death every day, we can't watch everyone starve to death. Otherwise, even if the holy rice and silver are delivered, the dead will die in vain. ”
"That's what the prince said." Gong You nodded approvingly and said, "Xia Guan didn't dare to act before, because he really didn't have a bottom in his heart. The grain in our granary is only enough to feed the gruel in the city for ten days, and this is not counting how many people will come to the city.
"There was no porridge shed before, and the lower officials ordered people to check, and each family still has grain in stock, and they can also pick wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and they can support it for a while, so I thought that I would save the rice until it was really unsupportable, and it could also help them prolong their lives and wait for the rescue of the saint."
Xiao Xiao agreed: "What Master Gong said is true. You're doing the right thing. At this time, it is not just right to say that they are fed, but to let more people survive. When the money and food for disaster relief arrived, it would be solved. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Xiao took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Gong You.
Gong You looked at the pile of silver tickets in astonishment, trembled his lips and said, "Lord Wang, this is?" ”
"When she went out, the princess sold all the valuable things in the dowry and dowry, plus the silver produced by the fields and shops where she married, and her ancestral house was also sold, and she made up this silver, oh, there is also the silver that this king has earned from the war over the years, but you also know that in the past, this king took the tiger army, and there were 100,000 brothers under his hands, and the silver earned a lot, and the money was also flowing, and he never saved anything. These silver bills are one thousand taels and one, a total of fifty pieces, fifty taels of silver, Lord Gong quickly use these silver to buy food, I believe that these silver can make more people survive. ”
"Lord Wang......" Gong You's lips trembled, his eyes quickly reddened, and tears flowed almost immediately.
The master on the side was already moved to tears.
The four officers on the station began to cry even more.
They are all locals, and the whole family of the family has been affected by the disaster, some have lost their relatives, and some are lucky, and the family is still alive, but now they are about to uncover the pot.
The 50,000 taels of silver are enough to send troops to fight a battle, although the current situation is that transportation is difficult, grain prices are rising, and the disaster area is in a state where there is money and cannot buy food.
But Rao was like this, they didn't see any of the local big families donating money, let alone any officials in the court donating money.
In their impression, Xiao Xiao was still the enemy who led his troops to fight in and destroy the Great Yan Dynasty.
But now it seems that it is so lucky to be a subject of the Great Zhou and to be treated with sincerity.
Xiao Xiao is a military general, and the mission of a military general is to fight on the battlefield.
In the last sentence of the saint, where the owl is pointed out, it is like a sharp blade hitting where.
Is it true that the fault of the past war must be attributed to such a person who has a great heart for justice and the people?
"The prince is noble! I was able to donate my belongings to disaster relief! In front of the prince, Xia Guan couldn't raise his head. ”
"Where is it, in the event of a catastrophe, we have the money to contribute, and we have the strength to contribute, Lord Gong for this disaster relief, his hair is anxious to turn white, this king came late, what is it to take out some blockages? We all have the same purpose, we are all for the people to live, and that's enough. ”
"Lord Wang...... Good. In this matter, the lower officials must play the saint, and the prince cannot be allowed to pay silently. ”
Master Lu also said: "And the people in the city, we should also let the big guys know where the money to solve the urgent needs comes from." ”
Xiao Xiao waved his hand again and again, "This is all the arrangement of the saint, what did this king do?" ”
Gong You and Master Lu both understood. If it is really publicized, it will make those well-intentioned people in the DPRK and China participate in him behind his back, saying that he has won the hearts of the people and has ill intentions.
Both of them understood in their hearts, and they were both moved, but they nodded on their faces and said:
"Yes, it's all a holy arrangement."
Xiao Xiao and Gong You discussed the order of inspecting the four major counties under the old capital these days.
But if this matter is not allowed to be publicized, will it really be kept secret?
When the four officers came home, they told their families about it.
There are always friends in the family, and friends always have friends, and it is obviously a secret of "I only tell you, you don't tell others", but it was inadvertently revealed.
The next day, the porridge shed was erected, and the hungry people lined up in front of the porridge shed, and some people in the crowd commented that this was the grain that Prince Zhongshun took the lead in donating money to buy, and the news seemed to have grown wings, and everyone knew about it.
