Chapter 596: The Flood Season Has Passed
Many people are reflecting on the fact that Jia Yu gave up the title so early, but he was afraid that he would be suppressed by others. I knew that Jia Zhu was more powerful than Jia Yu, and he should have squeezed Jia Yu so much in the first place. At least that fool is better than this Tanhua.
Of course, the DPRK and China are not all on the opposite side of the Jia family. After Jia Zhu finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy Jia is very true, and the minister also thinks that this transfer of troops is feasible." In ancient times, there was an example of raising soldiers with soldiers, and after His Majesty took command, the world was peaceful, and the army had nothing to do, and it could not be disbanded and returned to the field because there was nothing to do. Why can't this feed the people with soldiers?
"Besides, Deputy Envoy Jia also said that the responsibility of the army is to protect the family and defend the country. Defending the country is naturally important, and protecting the family is also its duty.
"Floods are rampant in the Guangzhou area every year, and the ministers have been in office for many years, and their ears are really calloused. But every year, grain is sent for disaster relief, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
"Some people just said that there is already a dam in Guangzhou, so how can it be rebuilt? The minister dared to ask the lord, why is the existing dam still seriously flooded every year, resulting in countless victims, and causing the household department to allocate food and funds every year to help the people?
Although the minister is not familiar with Governor Jia, the minister knows very well that Baron Jia, the son of Governor Jia, is a genius in the world. The fire gun he invented is more than ten times more than that of the West, and the fountain pen he invented, dare to ask you who has not used it?
"At the beginning, the minister wondered, since it was Governor Jia who took office, why did he bring Baron Jia's family there, but now it suddenly dawned on him, presumably Baron Jia has researched something new and can make a better seawall than before."
Jia Zhu lowered his head and smiled slightly, and said in his heart that the good karma he had made back then had finally paid off.
It turned out that this person was the champion of the same session as him that year, Zhou Jinsheng.
Back then, Zhou Jinsheng was released earlier than him, went to Ruzhou to be the magistrate of the county for three years, and then came back to enter the household department, and now recognizes the position of waiter.
It is also thanks to the household department that there is this Zhou Jinsheng, he is proficient in arithmetic, and as soon as he enters the household department, he will be reused by the household department. Now his words are in the household department, but they have a lot of weight.
Now that he has stood up to speak for his uncle, then Tobe Shangshu must also support his uncle.
Thinking of this, sure enough, Zhang Bingquan also stood up and expressed his support for Jia Yu.
As soon as Zhang Bingquan came out, all the members of the household department who could go to court naturally fell to Jia Yu's side. Governor Jia is saving them money, how can they fall into the ground?
And the Ministry of Rites has never been involved in these things, but the Ministry of Rites Shangshu also stood up and fell to Jia Yu's side.
"Your Majesty, the minister does not know the situation in Guangzhou as well as the household department, but the minister knows the person of Governor Jia. The outside world has many misunderstandings about him, he seems to be crazy and confused, but in fact, every idea is based on the benefit of the country and the people, and he is actually a good minister.
"Not to mention anything else, he has made several missions to the South and the East, and now that the trade routes have been opened, the ports and terminals have developed rapidly, and the household department knows better than we do, and Governor Jia's several voyages have brought back a lot of business opportunities.
In addition, the toilet he made before has greatly reduced the outbreak of epidemics in cities that have popularized toilets. Your Majesty should know that over the years, there have been very few people who have been exiled due to epidemics. Every year, only some suburbs that have not popularized toilets will have epidemic patients, from large towns to small counties, where are there any epidemic diseases? ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites also hurriedly stood up and said: "The minister also has to say a word, just a big man opened his mouth and said that Governor Jia was full of private pockets and built a mansion privately?" That's ridiculous! If it weren't for the fact that this adult hated the Jia family to the bone and didn't choose what to say, how could he say such a thing?
"Who in Beijing doesn't know the name of the eldest wife of the Jia family, the Xing family? Dare to ask this adult, is it your wife who didn't buy the things in other people's foreign shops, so she holds a grudge and deliberately smears the black family?
"The governor of Naja has just divided the family, and he has the property left by the prince and the dowry of his wife, can't he afford to buy a house? Besides, as soon as the governor of Naja arrived in the place, he immediately bought land and built a house, and dared to ask this lord, how did he fill his own pockets as soon as he arrived in the place? Could it be that the official in Guangzhou prepared the bribe money early and sent it to him? ”
Jia Zhu lowered his head and was silent, just wanted to laugh.
This squire's wife is a close friend of her uncle, so it's strange if she doesn't speak for her uncle.
The Emperor watched as the situation began to turn around, and a sneer broke out in his heart. These people were silent, and only now that they saw that they had named Jia Zhu, they dared to stand up, which showed that they were just cowardly and afraid.
Jia Zhu didn't say anything, that was because this was his uncle, and he wanted to avoid suspicion, but he couldn't make a sound.
But the old fritters of the household department did not make a sound, and at this time, Jia Amnesty's move was a great good thing for the household department, and it was simply a grass on the wall.
The emperor was displeased, so he waved his hand and asked Huang Gui to decree that from now on, Jia Yu would be allowed to make his own decisions in the affairs of the two Guangzhous, and he would not have to apply for it again.
As for the expenses required for Jia Amnesty, the household department must calculate and approve it as soon as possible, and there can be no delay. Otherwise, if the major event is delayed and Guangzhou will be flooded again, the household department will be asked.
At this order, everyone took a breath of cold air. If there were still people who reported luck before, they didn't even dare to have a trace of luck at this time.
From ancient times to the present, which minister has ever gained such trust, let alone the position of governor, holding military power.
And the emperor was even more relieved of Jia Liang because of this.
With military power in hand, he Jia Liang did not think about how to win over all parties at the first time, but directly solved the primary flood problem, and even did not hesitate to use military power to do "trivial matters" that the ministers disdained.
This heart for the country and the people is the real loyal and pure minister. What's even more valuable is that he never uses the power in his own hands to seek any benefit for himself.
The emperor's holy decree was rushed to Jia Liang after eight hundred miles, but it was already too late.
It's not that the floods in Guangzhou are serious, but Jia Liang has already experimented with cement and began to mobilize a large number of troops to build seawalls in various places.
Jia Liang didn't expect that his son would be able to try the best ratio in one go, and even the degree of sturdiness exceeded the adhesives he saw in England.
When asked again, it turned out that Jia Lian had already seen cement in England, and even had the intention to research this thing and use it to build a factory for himself.
This year's flood season, the people of Guangzhou spent it peacefully, although there was still some flooding, but it was much better than in previous years. The residents near the sea are actually safer than Guangzhou, because they are not towns, and there is a place for stagnant water to flow, as long as the rising sea level is stopped.
This time, Xingshuang's village was only a small leg flooded, and the residents didn't even need to go up the mountain, and as soon as the flood season was over, they could immediately go out to sea to fish.
