Section 58: Buying public opinion

"Miss Angel, are you a little embarrassed, or do you need to communicate with His Royal Highness King Qin before you can reply to Tao? Alas, Tao also knows that this matter is very difficult, and the matter in the clouds has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but Tao has been running around for a month, but he has hit a wall everywhere, and the important ministers of the empire regard Tao as a plague god. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but Tao really can't bear to see hundreds of thousands of innocent people freezing to death and starving to death in the fields, so he can only do his part, and he can't care much about success or failure. At the moment, it is urgent, if the young lady can report to His Royal Highness the King of Qin earlier, and ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin to make a decision, Tao is here to express his gratitude to the young lady for the 400,000 people in the clouds. β
After speaking, the middle-aged scribe stood up and knelt down straight, so shocked that Angel, who was sitting on the hand, lost her face, and hurriedly avoided this kneeling, got up and beckoned the maid next to him to help each other, and said again and again: "Mr. Tao, isn't this the killing of the concubine?" Mr. Tao's righteous act moved the heavens and the earth, and the concubine was deeply admired, as Mr. Tao said, the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in this cloud is not trivial, if it is a small amount, the concubine can also be borne by one person, but Mr. Tao's conservative estimate that these 400,000 people need to spend this winter and next spring, how much food and clothing do they need to consume? β
The middle-aged scribe's face was full of joy, and then he was a little nervous, perhaps remembering that the amount needed was very large, and even his words were a little slurred: "Well, this, Tao and several other gentry have discussed together, and at present, the food stored by these 400,000 refugees can last for at most twenty days to half a month, which is already the limit, and after this time limit, I am afraid that there will be an unpredictable situation." If you want to survive this winter and next spring, you will need 400,000 quintals of grain according to the average minimum consumption of half a catty of grain per person. β
Speaking of this, the middle-aged scribe looked even more cramped and uneasy, 400,000 quintals of grain! According to the current market price, it is worth nearly 10 million gold coins, and it is difficult to make good money, even if His Royal Highness the King of Qin can take out this part of the grain, but with the existing conditions of these refugees, even according to the lowest price of grain in previous years, I am afraid they will not be able to afford it, so the middle-aged scribe also knows that this is a great difficulty, and even the central government of the empire asks His Royal Highness the King of Qin for food security, which is also purchased at the market price, not to mention this refugee in the clouds who has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
"Well, Miss Angel, the people in the clouds are poor, and Tao also raised some money with several gentry in the clouds who were willing to participate in the righteous deeds, and there were also nearly one million gold coins, which can be regarded as a little compensation for all parties who are willing to save the refugees in the clouds, but I didn't expect that no one had such benevolence. β
Before the middle-aged scribe finished speaking, the other party resolutely planned to speak: " Mr. Tao, please don't need to say more, although 400,000 quintals of grain is a large amount, but human life is a matter of heaven, not to mention that this is related to the livelihood of 400,000 people, and the people in the clouds are also the subjects of the empire, uh, although His Royal Highness the King of Qin has nothing to do with the clouds, but as a line of the Tang family, the concubine believes that any Tang people with a conscience should participate in this righteous act, and now the concubine has the courage to be the master for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and 400,000 quintals of grain will be transported from Kansai to Yunzhong in the shortest possible timeγ β
Angel's decision made the middle-aged scribe ecstatic, and his face, which had been a little haggard from running around, was bright, and he had no more words to express the joy in his heart at this time, so he could only stand up and bow deeply to show his gratitude.
"Miss Angel, please rest assured, Tao originally wanted to ask the various media in Yanjing to appeal to the Imperial Central Committee and His Royal Highness to save the refugees in the clouds, but these media deliberately avoided this topic. The middle-aged scribe said stupidly: "As long as the media discloses the whereabouts of this grain, I believe that those in power in the past will send troops to escort it, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will really be their responsibility." β
"Well, Mr. Tao is right, the concubine will also go to negotiate with several newspapers and periodicals she is familiar with, and I believe they are also happy to see this situation, so the concubine will arrange it as soon as possible, and I hope that Mr. Tao will also arrange the receiving personnel as soon as possible to ensure that these grains can be distributed to the victims. Angel picked up the teacup and said with a smile.
"Miss Angel rest assured, His Royal Highness King Qin and Miss Angel's righteous deeds Tao feels that all words are redundant, and the rest of the affairs, Tao and others will arrange it properly, and will never let down the expectations of His Royal Highness King Qin and Miss Angel. At this time, Tao Tingzhi was a little incompatible with his words because he was too excited, and after many setbacks, he finally had such a satisfactory result, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. But there is a seed that slowly sprouts in his heart, like the Situ family, a royal family who claims to be the master of the empire, but turns a blind eye to the livelihood and death of the people under his rule, is there still a need for such a master to serve him, and should this Tanghe Empire really be in the hands of this Situ family?
With this thought, Tao Tingzhi not only became the most hard-working person in the northern crusade against the Situ Dynasty, but also a considerable part of the northern gentry he represented also became the most staunch pro-An faction in the battle for the position of the princess of Qin.
There were only two people left in the room, and Gu Ji didn't know why the other party was so eager to see him, so he had to leave other things in his hand and quietly arrange to meet on such an occasion.
"What?Miss Angel, what did you say?You agreed to the request of Tao Tingzhi and his group?" Hearing the other party's indifferent introduction of the purpose of meeting him, Gu Ji couldn't help but be surprised, "Miss, have you estimated this expense? This is not a small amount, and it is impossible to do such a thing, if you really want to get it all down, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get it without hundreds of thousands of stones." His Royal Highness has some savings now, but he has promised alms at will like this, and he has made such a start, I am afraid that all parties will reach out, and they will also leave Situ Tai and Situ Lang aside, which is easy to provoke contradictions. β
"Mr. Gu, the concubine doesn't think so, since Wufeng can support 10 million quintals of grain to Situ Lang in one go, what is this mere hundreds of thousands of quintals of grain? What kind of situation is the empire now, probably Mr. Gu should have a spectrum in his heart, although Wufeng is now tossing and turning happily in the Peninsula Alliance, we all know that it is just an illusion, the Western Xinjiang Army will soon turn its gun to the east, and the interior of the Central Plains of the empire is Wufeng's ultimate goal. At present, the empire can compete with Wufeng for the first time Situ Tai, his military strength is strong, especially in the northern region The relationship is intertwined and deep-rooted, although his economic foundation is too weak, but now Mr. Gu has also heard that many people are pulling the line between Situ Lang and Situ Tai, once Situ Lang agrees to give way, Situ Tai's strength will be further enhanced, and the economic weakness will be greatly compensated, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Wufeng's first opponent. β
"However, he has also encountered some troubles now, that is, the northern plains and Yunzhong have been invaded by the Kaman and Pur people, especially now that Yunzhong Mansion has been abandoned by the Pur people, it stands to reason that Situ Tai should be responsible for taking over and solving the difficulties, but now Situ Tai has not yet reached an agreement with Situ Lang on the concession conditions, so he does not have the strength and energy to solve the problem of refugees in the clouds for a while, but in the opinion of the concubine, this just gives us a chance. Wufeng's influence in the northern region has always been relatively weak, and now it is just taking this opportunity to break in, Yunzhong is located at the gate of the northern frontier of the empire, and a group of Taoting people are all celebrities and gentry in the clouds, not only in the clouds with great appeal, but also in the entire Yanyun County has considerable influence, from this time they asked for help from the empire under the control of the Situ family, and the concubine body can feel that the gentry in the clouds have been extremely disappointed in the empire, so they will think of turning to Wufeng, once such a seed sprouts, the huge power that will be generated is absolutely unimaginable, the concubine body feels that this is the best time for us to intervene in the north to win the hearts and minds of the people, and we must not let it goEven if it costs a bit of money, it's definitely worth it, not only to preserve some vitality for the empire, but also to allow our influence to take root in the north. β
At this time, Gu Ji found that he really underestimated the wisdom and vision of the graceful young woman in front of him, and said that women have no brains, but the confidante in front of him is a talented woman in the wisdom of the outside, think about how Wu Feng and Lin Yuexin mentioned by himself are as wise as the sea, Gu Ji firmly believes that maybe Lin Yuexin is stronger than the girl in front of him in terms of military tactics, but at the strategic level, especially in terms of major policies and foresight, Angel will definitely not be inferior to anyone, this highly talented student who graduated from the Department of History of Imperial University is really worthy of his reputation, and there is such a woman as the harem virtuous helper of Wufeng, no wonder Wu Feng has been looking at the sky all these years and leaping all over the world.
"Does Miss mean that we have reached the point where we can fight to the death with the Situ family, which represents the orthodoxy of the Tang River?" Over the years, Wufeng has been using the orthodox power of the Situ Dynasty to cultivate and strengthen himself, trying to avoid being morally inferior, even so, those conservative nobles in the empire still jump out from time to time to point fingers, picking needles and thorns, and Wufeng has always endured humiliation and burden, trying to avoid frontal conflict with the other party, and now the other party has made the situation clear all of a sudden, Gu Ji does not dare to say whether the other party is in a hurry, but he really wants to hear what the other party has to say.
