Chapter 161: The Emperor's Wishful Thinking
After a few deals, Wu Yuan felt that Shu Qingai was very mysterious! Otherwise, how could a retired rural village woman have such a generous hand, and directly give a million taels for the opening of the river! is even more prescient than him, the county magistrate, and has laid down hundreds of thousands of tons of grain! and her wonderful medical skills, how can she turn her wife into the appearance of twenty years ago, even if she can still know the third young master of the Qian family, a big family in Fucheng, and she can also invite the prince of the capital to come forward and personally supervise her investigation of Duan Chu.
But Shu Qingai didn't explain, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of it!
He just knew that if he hugged Shu Qingai's thigh, he would be promoted to become rich in the future, and it would be just around the corner! What's more, the emperor has already approved the digging of the river this time! Tomorrow, the minister of overseer of the capital will arrive in Pingyang County!
The name of his little county was also remembered by the emperor at the same time! All this is the reason for Shu Qingai! If he hadn't met her in his life, I'm afraid that in this life, he would have been a magistrate in Pingyang County and would have directly lost his beard!
When Mrs. Wu learned that Shu Qingai was coming back today, she also asked the people below to prepare early in the morning. The husband and wife stood at the gate of the county office, looking forward to it, and finally looked forward to the carriage of the two in front of the door.
"Qingqing, I'm finally looking forward to it."
Shu Qingai got out of the carriage, and Mrs. Wu greeted her with a smile, holding Shu Qingai's hand as excited as seeing her daughter.
After Wu Yuan greeted Hua Jinhan, he looked at Shu Qingai with a smile again.
Shu Qingai couldn't help but smile: "Seeing that you are so anxious, you should be thinking about your son, right?" Don't look at Lord Wu, your son is very prosperous in our Xinghua Village! Now I can eat and live with those victims, it's like a different person! ”
Lord Wu and his wife were exposed by Shu Qingai in public, and they were not embarrassed!
Wu Yuan put his hands behind his back and smiled heartily!
"My son of a son has to thank Shu Niangzi for being you! If it weren't for you, that kid wouldn't know when he would wake up! In those years, I was so angry with her mother that I was choked! Let him endure hardships, otherwise he will not know the suffering of those Li people. ”
Wu Yuan said with relief, although he didn't see his son with his own eyes with those disaster victims, he could imagine that the harsh environment there was already quietly distressed in his heart.
Mrs. Wu is a woman after all, and she has doted on Wu Jiuze since she was a child!
Hearing Shu Qingai say this, her eyes immediately turned red! However, he still held Shu Qingai's hand, and he didn't blame him for anything.
"Mrs. Wu, is this distressed? If it's really distressing, I'll let him be sent back, but I think it's a bad thing to let Young Master Wu suffer hardships, after all, as a man, the responsibility on his shoulders in the future will be heavier than that of a woman! Although Lord Wu is the parent official of a county, even if you pave the way of life for him in the future, if he does not have a correct outlook on life, it will be a waste of toss. ”
Mrs. Wu wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded again and again.
"Yes, yes, yes! This kid grew up with the moon held by the stars, and if he doesn't suffer a little until it is difficult, let him go, but Qingqing, you have to take care of him for me, if those victims know that he is the son of the magistrate, they are afraid that they will blame him for the inaction of the imperial court, but I am just afraid of ...... so many people."
Before Mrs. Wu could finish speaking, Shu Qingai turned over her hand and patted the back of Mrs. Wu's hand.
"You really underestimate him, he never said that he was the son of the county magistrate, and now he is dressed up, almost all of them are integrated with those disaster victims, and among the disaster victims, he has also made a lot of friends! The big guys like him very much. ”
Hearing Shu Qingai say this, Wu Yuan and his wife finally put their hearts at ease. Suddenly, everyone was still standing outside the door of the county government.
When a few people entered, Shu Qingai was not in a hurry to let Mrs. Wu have dinner, but went to Wu Yuan's study with Wu Yuan and Hua Jinhan.
"Lord Wu, you don't need me to introduce you, do you? I'm sure you're old acquaintances too! ”
Wu Yuan's face is black, can he not be an old acquaintance? almost became his enemy, but fortunately, he woke up quickly, otherwise he would have offended the friends of the prince of Jing'an Palace, and his black gauze hat could also be taken off!
"Haha! Ha ha! Shu Niangzi, you are really good at telling jokes! Can you not recognize? ”
Wu Yuan snorted, and Hua Jinhan also looked at Shu Qingai with a smile, he found out that this woman was still a little cute from time to time.
Shu Qingai also smiled before speaking: "Last time, I entrusted the playboy to help, Jinhan, you can tell us about the specific matters, and what do we need to do when the minister of supervision arrives tomorrow?" ”
Hua Jinhan's heart suddenly rippled! Shu Qingai's "Jinhan", we can hear him feel comfortable!
"Hibiscus?"
Seeing Hua Jinhan looking at herself in a daze with a smile, Shu Qingai touched her cheek and shouted again.
Hua Jinhan suddenly came back to her senses, and coughed in embarrassment! Wu Yuan took his look into his eyes, and he already had some calculations in his heart.
The mind of his stupid son, how can he, who is a father, not know!
Knowing that Shu Qingai alone gave two knives in the gambling house and won 500,000 yuan, he didn't understand the obsession on his face! At the same time, as a man, he is still a father and son, and he is also a man who has been wandering in the flowers for a long time, and his son's eyes have changed from the frivolity of the past to a serious look, how can he not know!
At that time, he was still very hesitant, not wanting his only son, to have anything to do with an abandoned woman, and later if it wasn't for his son's insistence on going his own way, he quietly took a small servant to Xinghua Village, he would have persuaded him at that time.
But Hua Jinhan's identity is full of true love for Shu Qing, and Wu Yuan suddenly feels that he is too superficial.
Putting aside Shu Qingai's identity as an abandoned woman, Shu Qingai's resourcefulness and a few more women can catch up! Even if you look at it, there are very few men who can compare to her! At this time, Wu Yuan realized that his son's vision was indeed good.
But it seems that if my son wants to hug the beauty, it will take a lot of effort! The man in front of him is a formidable opponent!
"Lord Wu, this time I went to the capital, I asked the prince of Jing'an Mansion to pass the word on my behalf, and after the emperor learned about this, he discussed it with the minister in the court! Of course, there must be a lot of opponents! Knowing that this silver was automatically raised by our place, the emperor only needed to send more people and mobilize some officers and soldiers to assist, and those ministers who still insisted on opposing it had to agree under the emperor's power. ”
Wu Yuan listened very seriously! The emperor and those who are officials in the capital are all characters that he can't reach as a small magistrate!
"The emperor is only a person? Even if you can't get the money, you have to send some food? How long can my 100,000 catties of grain last? ”
Shu Qingai frowned, yesterday Hua Jinhan didn't talk about these in detail, but only said that the people sent by the emperor would arrive in Pingyang County tomorrow. Now that it sounds like this, it seems that this matter of opening the river is very difficult!
"Qingqing, don't worry, I'm still going to finish it!"
Shu Qingai nodded and motioned for Hua Jinhan to continue.
At that time, I learned that the emperor meant this, and the current three princes, King Chen, stood up against it! His Royal Highness King Chen thinks that after all, silver cannot be eaten as food! Now the victims in the southwest are most in short supply of food and water, and the water emperor can't solve it, at least he has to solve the food problem! But because the emperor has opened the granary to help the victims in the most serious places in the southwest, to be honest, the granary of the Feiyue Dynasty at this time is not rich, and the neighboring countries are ready to move, and the remaining grain is even more daring to move. Hundreds of officials are also strongly opposed! After a few days of arguing, I offered to donate 1 million taels, the most important silver for the purchase of grain, and the emperor immediately agreed. ”
Shu Qingai heard it and frowned!
It seems that this emperor is actually waiting for this wronged boss to come out! And there must be no among those hundred officials, even if they don't come up with 10,000 taels of silver, it can be regarded as a great help, and they just want to pretend to be honest and clean, that is, they forced Hua Jinhan out.
"This year's drought has not affected half of the country. But how much time does it take to transport this grain from thousands of miles away, and there are people everywhere along the way, so there is no fear of being hijacked or something on the way? ”
Shu Qingai thought that the emperor would open the granary near the open river, but he didn't expect it to be such a method!
couldn't help but despise the legendary emperor in love! This celebrity's good deeds have been famous by him alone, and he has to help with these stupid forks!
Hua Jinhan seemed to see the injustice on Shu Qingai's face, and smiled helplessly.
"You girl, it's so simple! How can this work be so easy to do? It's just a million taels of silver, and you and I are out! Won't we earn it back from those ministers and officials in the coming year? If this river is opened, our goods can be circulated to the whole country along those waterways, are you afraid that you won't earn that one million taels? ”
Hua Jinhan figured it out, after all, his family's family background was not allowed to add to this bit of fame, but he ignored Shu Qingai, as a woman, or a rural village woman with no background, the emperor's affirmation and the people's recognition are quite important to her!
If she didn't have the emperor's protection, even if she earned tens of millions of taels of silver, she wouldn't be sure! In case it is the one who is the official, you can bully her casually, and no matter how much you earn at that time, you will also make a wedding dress for someone else!
But fortunately, he can do something good for the people, which is the only comfort in Shu Qing's love.
Wu Yuan frowned, the emperor didn't take himself to heart at all! I think that my top boss has learned about this, so I can wear my own small shoes if I can't keep it right! Suddenly, Wu Yuan had a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot.
Hua Jinhan saw the loss on the faces of the two, and he also said that he was very helpless!
After all, he can't appear in the court, and he can help the two of them ask for some credit.
"Hey! That's it! I will think that it is all for the welfare of the people, but what are your plans for this food problem? ”
Shu Qingai was entangled for a while, and then asked Hua Jinhan with a sad face in her heart.
"What can be done, I think I can buy it from a few nearby prefectures in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and I heard that mountain bandits in that area often haunt, so we still have to be mentally prepared."
Shu Qingai listened! Immediately furious!
"Shit! Lao Tzu won't donate this silver! It's thankless, and I can't take my own life!"
