Chapter 268

"Baozhu, you don't have to be restrained, in private, you should call the queen mother grandmother. [No pop-ups. Xu saw that the Queen Mother was happy and sad and worried that her body would not be able to stand it, so the Queen hurriedly calmed the Queen Mother on the side, and raised her head and explained to Lin Baozhu who was seated down.

At first glance, she heard the words of the queen mother, but she was even more stunned than what Lin Baozhu heard from Mama Liang, and she didn't know how to accept it. Looking at the Queen Mother's expectant eyes, as well as the Queen Mother's encouragement and gentle comfort, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to do.

"The queen mother, according to the concubines, Baozhu is overjoyed, and she can't come back for a while. It's better to listen to why Baozhu entered the palace this time, after all, after all, Baozhu will be able to figure out the relationship with you after a long time in the future. ”

In the end, she is used to seeing things, and the queen's words can be regarded as relieving the sudden embarrassment of several people. So, Lin Baozhu also changed the topic, and without mentioning her mother's affairs, she naturally flashed the link of confessing her love with the Queen Mother.

To tell the truth, an old man Zhao made her a little unsure of how to face it, and another queen mother, if she really recognized it, she would have to have the royal relatives next to her. In this way, not to mention that there are too many involved, it may not be good for his own man.

So, she naturally made up her mind and delayed the recognition of her relatives first. As for the side, I'll talk about it later.

"Back to Niangniang, the courtiers came this time to say hello to Niangniang, and secondly, they wanted to see the emperor." Lin Baozhu got up and saluted, and paused before continuing, "Although Zhang Ji is the property of the courtiers, it is always owned by the Great Zhou. ”

As soon as her words fell, she saw the emperor pacing behind him, and happened to hear her words. After greeting the Queen Mother, he sat down on the side, took the tea sent by the palace people, and looked at Lin Baozhu for a long time. However, he couldn't see any resemblance between her and that one, and if it weren't for the news from the Dark Guard, he would never have thought that she would have such a daughter with such a delicate heart.

As if he found that his thoughts had run away, the emperor's face darkened slightly, and only after a while did he sigh and say: "The prince is the prince of the Great Zhou, and the prince of the country is a general I trust, and it is indeed my intention to let him protect the prince's safety, not to take the opportunity to get rid of the prince of the country." ”

He has been able to sit on the throne for many years, how can he not understand Lin Baozhu's worries and the real reason why he handed over Zhang Ji? However, he was not a tyrant, even if he had been afraid of a lot at the beginning, most of them were to stabilize the Great Zhou Dynasty. Just like the Zhao family, the situation at that time, if he couldn't support the puppets who could obey him, I was afraid that the Jiangnan scholars would not be able to survive in peace.

He admitted that there were many implications back then, and the Zhang family was among them. Even, he single-handedly pushed the woman who had the same heart with him into a desperate situation. But now, the country and the people are safe, and the situation in the court is not as unpredictable as it was at the beginning, how could he arbitrarily cut off an excellent industry in Da Zhou?

What's more, if Pthaw Bay Zhang Ji's method is feasible, it can only benefit the people of Dazhou more in the future. He has expectations for Peachtree Bay, like the crown prince.

Now that he has passed the time to expand his territory, but the prince is at the age of enthusiasm, if the prince is on the throne, with the backing of a place like Peachtree Bay, which has abundant food and grass and financial resources, Da Zhou is afraid that it will go to a higher level.

"Don't worry, I know your scruples, but now I will tell you the truth, I will never sit idly by in the Jiangnan epidemic area. Now that the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor have set off, the medicinal materials from the capital will soon be in place. If you have the heart, why should you take the risk yourself, but it will make people worry, why not prepare grain and herbs and medicinal herbs in the rear to gòng yīng disaster area. In fact, the emperor's words were not only for Lin Baozhu, but also for the Queen Mother. He thanked the Queen Mother for her dedication to him, but he couldn't untie the Queen Mother's knot, and now the Queen Mother values Lin Baozhu, and Lin Baozhu is the only bloodline of the Zhao family, so it is not suitable for adventure.

In the end, Lin Baozhu finally got the will to allow her to leave Beijing, but when she returned to Peachtree Bay or went south, the emperor did not give her a word. There is everything according to her will, but Lin Baozhu is a little overwhelmed.

Back in the house, Lin Baozhu discussed with everyone and decided to go back to Peachtree Bay to prepare first. If there is no bad news, or if Zhang Manchu can't be found again, let's talk about going south. After all, you have to prepare first.

As Zhang Jicheng's truckload of food and medicine was delivered to the disaster area, the family finally received a letter from Zhang Manchu that had not been sent back for a long time. Only then did I know that the officials and bandits colluded and robbed the disaster relief silver several times, and the flood was caused by the instability of the river dam and some people's private pockets, so the prince ordered a strict investigation. Under some investigation, why did the prince become a thorn in the side of many people? It's just that those people can't hate to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

For various reasons, he acted with the prince, but he did not know his whereabouts in the epidemic area. In order to let the golden cicada get out of its shell, first, to protect himself, and secondly, to beat those people back to the carbine, naturally he also cut off the news of the same family.

And now, with the continuous introduction of medicinal herbs gòng yīng by the imperial court and Zhang Ji, the epidemic has long been under control. Now even people who are not in good health are grateful to the imperial court and Zhang Ji, and every time they disinfect or work according to the doctor's words, they are full of vitality.

The work in those dirty places is also rushed to do, knowing that the court and the Great Zhou have not given up on them, knowing that there is hope of living, who is willing to be lazy and slippery?

Seeing that his man had a message, Lin Baozhu was about to cry with joy. These days, she is going to suffocate her, she doesn't dare to say or cry, and she desperately calculates what else Zhang Ji can send every day. It wasn't until the letter was in her hand that she was completely relieved.

I remembered that my man said that the prince should first resettle the victims and rebuild the disaster area, and then he could come back. She began to think about how to help. It's not for the side, it's just to let that man go home early and not take risks again.

The so-called three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, now Lin Baozhu didn't call Xiuniang's sister-in-law and Jinruo to discuss? Naturally, there are also a few shopkeepers and housekeepers. Because Zhao Di now has a body, she can only stay in the capital temporarily to raise a baby, originally Lin Baozhu asked Xiuniang's sister-in-law to help her, but she didn't want everyone to worry too much about Lin Baozhu's inability to cope with the things in the south, and no one took care of her, so Xiuniang's sister-in-law said anything and accompanied her back.

"Although we Zhang Ji can make silver, we can also buy rice, flour and grain to send, but those can only solve the temporary difficulty. And there are countless victims, and there is only so much we can help. "Since the disaster in the south, Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Li have been helping Lin Baozhu deal with the accounts of sending things to the south. At present, after the two of them checked the accounts, they said, "Up to now, Zhang Ji has sent 30,000 taels of silver one after another, as well as a lot of food and medicine. Except for the shops and workshops near Peachtree Bay, most of the other places have stopped working due to the transfer of funds. Madam, if we continue like this, before the flood continues, we Zhang Ji will not be able to bear it. ”

Why doesn't Lin Baozhu understand the stakes? But at that time, she was also at a loss for a while, so she thought that she couldn't let her man be trapped. And the silver can be earned again, but if the person is gone, there is nothing.

"It's better to give them fish than to give them fish, mother, the master often teaches us like this, and it is not a long way to always send disaster relief objects." Jin Ruo sighed, and said with a sad face, "If the victims come, it's better to talk about it here, after all, Zhang Ji also has to keep looking for people to work, but the south is far away."

Hearing Jin Ruo say this, Lin Baozhu's mind flashed, and he patted his head and said, "Work for relief!" ”

How did she forget this method, there are many victims, but they are all laborers. What's more, whether it is to rebuild Jiangnan, or to rebuild the industry of Zhang Ji and Zhuangzi in Jiangnan, which does not need labor?

Men in the prime of life can do some manual work, and women can also work in workshops or fields. And the old, weak, sick and disabled, isn't there still Zhang Ji's charity hall and private school to settle down? If you can't do heavy work, you can clean up the house, or do laundry and cooking, it's always okay.

Sure enough, when Zhang Ji began to recruit people in Jiangnan, the salary was still the same, and he was in charge of food and housing, and many victims were very positive as if they had found a life-saving straw. And in almost two or three days, several advisors around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discovered this move and persuaded the prince to follow suit, and then Jiangnan, which was originally a sigh, suddenly burst out with a new vitality.

Coupled with the example of the crown prince, the prince who came from the sky, and Zhu Neng and others secretly manipulated public opinion, even though the victims in Jiangnan only reported five or six points of their stomachs, they all actively responded to the call to rebuild their homes.

Who can be unhappy to be able to build a house for themselves and clean up the village, and to get the wages of the imperial court?

By September, Jiangnan was already stable, and officials from all over the country praised the prince's benevolence. And the rampant victims of the disaster, which everyone feared, or the banditry, did not appear.

Originally, the reason why there were people fleeing everywhere in the past, and there were even victims who ate human flesh in order to survive, but it was all because disaster relief officials embezzled disaster relief money. The people have no way to live, so they either start up to rob in groups, or even do anything as long as they can live.

And now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally come to provide disaster relief, and the disaster relief silver has been distributed on time. All the granaries were cleared of grain, and the families of gangs and officials that the prince and his entourage had confiscated were all used on the victims.

Most of us are from poor people, as long as there is a way to live, which one will go crazy to the grass and become a coward, and which one will not care about the life and death of others in order to eat a bite of food for themselves?

Seeing that Sheng Jin was about to turn a week, Lin Baozhu also received the letter, saying that he would definitely rush back in half a month. Knowing that the man was safe, Lin Baozhu was naturally happy and didn't know what to do. Didn't they discuss it with Xiuniang's sister-in-law, the two of them had time to go to the county seat, and also bought some items for Sheng Jin to catch Zhou.
