July of the ninth year of Emperor Chongming.

Inside the Wuying Palace.

At this time, Emperor Chongming's face was gloomy, and the goddess of the eunuch palace who had been waved away had a solemn expression, and she was also very nervous in her heart, afraid that if she was not careful, she would be disposed of by the Son of Heaven and suffer a disaster in vain.

Gao Xian stood outside the hall and said to everyone in a cold voice: "Good life is waiting, if you mess up the errand, our family wants you to look good." ”

The eunuchs and palace maids trembled and replied, "Yes." ”

At the bottom of the hall, there was a man in a four-clawed python robe and yellow clothes, looking at this face, he could vaguely see that he was a little similar to Emperor Chongming.

This man was about thirty years old, and he was the eighth son of Emperor Taishang and the younger brother of Emperor Chongming's mother.

Since Emperor Chongming ascended the throne, he was named the king of the county, stayed in the household department for a few years, and was promoted to the prince, in charge of the household department, and was called loyal and obedient.

Seeing Emperor Chongming's gloomy face, King Zhongshun stepped forward and said: "Brother Huang, it's useless to be angry now, a Yellow River, flooded through the ages, all dynasties, which year the people will not suffer from the Yellow Tribulation, the imperial brother does not have to feel guilty."

The top priority should be to build river embankments and provide relief to the victims. ”

Emperor Chongming sighed when he heard this, and said worriedly: "Eighth brother, I don't know, but how can there be any surplus silver in the treasury, you are the head of the household department, you should know better than me." ”

As the head of the household department, King Zhongshun naturally knew that the treasury was now less than 500,000 taels of silver, and this time the yellow plague affected Henan and Shandong provinces, more than a dozen river embankments were gapped, millions of victims were displaced, and 500,000 taels of treasury silver were worth a cup of water, and it was really difficult to solve the disaster.

The treasury is like this, it is really unsustainable, and those hundred officials in the court only know how to allocate funds for disaster relief, but the others can't make half a suggestion, it is really a corpse vegetarian meal.

Thinking of this, the loyal king could not do anything.

Emperor Chongming pondered for a moment and said: "For today's plan, I can only allocate 400,000 taels from the treasury first, buy grain from rich households in the Zhili area, and urgently transport the disaster area to solve the urgent need. ”

When the king of Zhongshun heard this, he immediately responded: "The younger brother has the order." ”

Emperor Chongming saw that King Zhongshun looked strange, and asked, "Is there any difficulty?" ”

When the king of Zhongshun heard this, he replied: "The younger brother should share the worries of the imperial brother. ”

Emperor Chongming nodded with satisfaction, he, the younger brother of a fellow mother, but the person he trusted the most, shared his worries for him as always, compared to a hypocritical younger brother, it was really much more worry-free.

However, fundraising is not a good errand, this yellow plague, the affected people are as high as millions, in addition to the treasury silver allocated by the state treasury, the shortfall is at least two million taels of silver, this can not be raised, that is, it is raised, that is also an errand that offends people.

If you don't send capable people to help with things wholeheartedly, I don't know how many people will starve to death, otherwise, Emperor Chongming will not let him do this drudgery.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongming seemed to think of something, and said: "Eighth brother, I will give you a helper, if there is any trouble, let him deal with it." ”

"Helper?" King Zhongshun was stunned for a while when he heard this, and wondered who the "helper" in Emperor Chongming's mouth was?

Emperor Chongming didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "The Gongwei Division next to me is the leader of Jia Yun. ”

"Jia Yun...."King Zhongshun knew this person, and remembered that the last time Emperor Chongming told him about the abolition of the Ding tax, it was this proposal by Jia Yun.

I have seen Jia Yun a few times in the past, but I don't think there is anything extraordinary, but I know that this Jia Yun is extremely loyal to Emperor Chongming.

Emperor Chongming talked about Jia Yun at this time, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "This kid dares to propose the abolition of the Ding tax and spread the tax into the acres, presumably he is not afraid of offending people, not to mention, in the south of the Yangtze River, the children of the Jia family are always easy to do, if there is anything inconvenient to come forward, let that kid do it, just try this kid's quality." ”

When King Zhongshun heard this, he immediately understood, the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, Jia, Shi, Wang, Xue, and the Jia family are the leaders, Jia Yun, as a child of the Jia family, is indeed much more convenient, and he can also take advantage of this to test Jia Yun's success to see if it can be of great use.

As Emperor Chongming's most trusted younger brother, he knew Emperor Chongming's purpose.

Ever since he knew that Jia Yun, a disciple of the Jia family, had internal discord with Jiafu, and had been practicing in the border pass for four years, and with his qualifications, Emperor Chongming had an idea in his heart.

After summoning Jia Yun into Beijing, Emperor Chongming has been observing Jia Yun, originally wanting Jia Yun to stay in the Guozi Prison for two years, observe it, and see if it can be reused, but after Jia Yun proposed to abolish the Ding tax, Emperor Chongming knew that Jia Yun and Xungui were not all the way, so he was promoted and appointed.

However, the stakes are very high, and Emperor Chongming will naturally not judge Jia Yun's loyalty based on this alone.

After taking office, the internal guards have been monitoring Jia Yun's every move, and for the time being, they are conscientious, but they don't see anything unusual.

However, even so, it is not reassuring.

Now in the matter of fundraising, the gentry in Jiangnan must be passing the buck to each other, if so, just try Jia Yun's sharp knife, whether it is sharp....

Thinking about the key to this, the king of Zhongshun said respectfully: "Brother Chen understands. ”

Emperor Chongming saw the look of King Zhongshun's understanding, and his heart was settled, and he commanded outside the hall: "Xuan Jiayun." ”

..........

Gong Wei Si Mansion.

Jia Yun was dressed in a cool gauze sweatshirt, and took a nap on a few cases with his legs.

It has been nearly half a year since Jia Rong got married, and since then, Jia Yun has not dealt with Jia Fu again.

Xu was ruthless enough last time Jia Yun squeezed, and Jia Mu and the others were not bored.

During the period, it was Xue Pan of the Xue family who invited him to host, but Jia Yun bluntly refused, took office every day, and occasionally refined "riding and shooting", and his life was nourishing.

"Da Da Da ......"

Outside, Zeng Guofan, the deputy chief of staff in armor, walked in, Jia Yun heard the movement and opened his eyes to take a look, and saw that he was covered in water, Jia Yun ordered: "Come on, go and prepare hot tea for Lord Zeng." ”

The little official on the side immediately brought a cup of hot tea, Zeng Guofan took the hot tea, and responded, "Thank you, sir." ”

Jia Yun nodded, listening to the sound of the rain, Jia Yun couldn't help frowning, and said helplessly: "It's been raining for more than ten days, and I don't know when this ghost weather will clear." ”

Rainy days or something, Jia Yun hates it the most.

When Zeng Guofan heard this, he replied: "My lord, this is the time of the change of seasons, and it is normal for it to rain a lot. ”

Jia Yun responded lightly, Zeng Guofan said that it is reasonable, the change of seasons in summer and autumn is the rainy season, as the saying goes, "Autumn rain, winter wind." "That's the truth.

However, this rain is too diligent, I heard that the Yellow River flood, the people have suffered countless injuries, but it made Emperor Chongming have a great temper.

Although Jia Yun was sympathetic to the victims when he heard this, the political affairs of the court were not something that Jia Yun should care about, so he naturally sighed with emotion and did not pay attention.

The concern is that this autumn will rain more than usual, and the winter will be colder than usual, and this is in the north, so it seems that this winter will have to prepare something for the winter.

Jia Yun turned his head to look at Zeng Guofan, and instructed: "In this rainy season, let the brothers rotate more diligently, and prepare more ginger soup for the brothers to warm their bodies." ”

The palace guards have to stand guard on rainy days, even if they are healthy, they can't bear it.

Zeng Guofan responded: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Jia Yun nodded, and then stopped talking, Jia Yun's management of the Gongwei Division was different from the original at the border pass, originally at the border pass, Jia Yun ate and lived with his soldiers.

In the Gongwei Division, Jia Yun ordered most of the things to be done by the people below, and Jia Yun almost always sat in the government office.

On a rainy day like this, Jia Yun never inspected, and all of them were handed over to his two deputy staffs.

It's not that Jia Yun is lazy, but that's how the position of Gong Wei Si is the leader, if you mingle with the people below, it will be a disaster, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, this is the right reason.

After the order, Jia Yun ignored it and yawned boredly, thinking that if it was like this in the future, it would actually be good.....

Just as Jia Yun sighed, an attendant walked in, stepped forward and flattered Jia Yun: "Lord Jia, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”

In the palace, these little eunuchs are respectful to Jia Yun, in addition to Jia Yun's identity, followed by Jia Yun's good relationship with the chief manager Gao Xian, none of these little eunuchs dare to be presumptuous in front of Jia Yun.

Jia Yun frowned, His Majesty summoned him, this is not a trivial matter, Jia Yun immediately got up and ordered: "Shangjia." ”

During the period of duty, when entering the palace, the saint naturally had to wear gold and silver fish scale armor and a purple and gold robe, which was a work uniform and was not allowed to be sloppy.

The armor is cumbersome, but it can't be worn by yourself, so naturally someone has to help.

After the armor was put on and the robe was straightened, Jia Yun walked outside.
