"We can end the inspection and return to Jiangyuan this afternoon, and tomorrow morning the Chao Duan will at least come to the upper stage to report on the inspection. If the main hall is still as deserted as it is today, then Su Gong will win. Chen Jing said.

Su Gong proposed to temporarily change the treasury for disaster relief that day, and he wanted to finish it on the same day, but a sentence before retiring from the court made him and the courtiers go on for four days, and Su Gong had no choice but to go down without any situation to promote the development of the situation, but he was more and more unable to guess the true thoughts of the ministers, and Su Gong, who was not yet an adult, seemed to be a little unbreathable. He asked Min and Chen Jing, "Do you want to stop taking this matter as the only thing to discuss tomorrow?" ”

"Su Gong, insist on the early dynasty before you can see the true attitude of the hundred officials." Min replied.

Only then did Duke Su make up his mind, and let Duke Sun pass on the same will as a few days ago.

And the ministers have been in the early court for four consecutive days without any opinion or opinion, and because they are suspicious and dare not discuss this matter in private, they guess each other more and more vaguely, and they are more and more afraid of Su Gong's firmness, not because they are afraid of Su Gong, but because they are worried that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry.

As the prime minister of Dongsheng, Duan inspected several counties on behalf of Su Gong every year, and secretly tested the tendencies of local officials in order to investigate the people's situation, and to woo forces for their usurpation. This year is no exception, but according to his plan, there will be an incident in the middle of winter this year, so he doesn't dare to go far, and only walks around the counties near Jiangyuan, for fear that Jiangyuan will change, so he can rush back in time, and he will only stay for one day everywhere.

During the inspection, Duan had already known about Su Gong's proposal, and the frequent contact between Sun Gonggong and Chen Jing in the past few days had already made him vigilant, Su Gong's proposal was not surprising, in order to provide timely relief to the victims, it was not impossible to temporarily change the dispatch of the treasury, but the most important thing was that Duan had emptied the treasury to buy the garrisons of nearby counties.

At present, the treasury is only enough to spend more than a month, and if the treasury has no income or the income is reduced, the unauthorized use of the treasury will be exposed, which is also the most feared by the end. The loss of the treasury had to be sustained until the incident anyway, but he did not show it, and still seemed to be careless on the patrol.

After inspecting the last county that day, he ordered the carriages and horses to slow down as much as possible on the return trip, and the chariots and horses that were supposed to return to Jiangyuan in the afternoon did not return until late at night.

On the second day, which was also the fifth day after Su Gong's proposal, he came to the main hall early in the morning to wait for the ministers and Su Gong with the inspection instructions arranged by his subordinates. Approaching the early dynasty, the time was sparsely nine ministers, and Ge Cun, Min and Chen Jing were among the others, all of whom were close friends. Most of the ministers, including the other two auxiliary ministers, still hid from the early dynasty.

It was already past the time of the early dynasty, and then Su Gong came to the main hall with slow steps, did not board the dragon chair, but came to the end, and saluted: "The prime minister has worked hard to inspect the county and county, and I thank you here." I heard that I came back late last night, and I'm afraid that I haven't rested well, and it doesn't hurt to report on the most important things tomorrow. ”

Duan smiled and said: "Duke Su is compassionate, and he does not dare to slack off when entrusted by the king of the ancestors." ”

"My father died too early, and the prime minister would not have worked so hard. Did the prime minister hear about Lone's proposal a few days ago? ”

"I have heard that it is a blessing for me that Su Gong has worked hard for the victims, but it may take several months from the change to the implementation of this allocation system, and I am afraid that it will be too late to help the victims."

"Oh, efficiency really?"

"Back to Su Gong, all important system changes must go through the relevant departments to discuss and fully communicate with each other, and then send the local government to listen to local opinions, and then return to reconsideration, which will take more than a month, and the follow-up will also involve escort scheduling, personnel appointment and dismissal, it is estimated that it will take more than a month. The minister's remarks are not against Su Gong's proposal, but just to say that this time I am afraid that it will be too late to provide timely relief to the victims. ”

"Gu fully understands that since the Auxiliary Minister has no objection, then the special treasury dispatch after the disaster will be bothered by you. Even if we may not be able to help the victims in time, we can prepare for a major disaster in the future. ”

Duke Su and the courtiers talked for five days, and they actually understood after a few words with Duke Su. Su Gong deduced many times last night on various scenarios that may appear today, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and then saw that the ministers didn't give face except for a few end of the sworn friends, so he was happy in his heart, and thought that he had won most of the time.

But he didn't know that at this time, he was only trying to buy three months.

Autumn is getting deeper and deeper and I have seen the shadow of winter, a few days ago it rained a freezing rain, and it did not melt for days, and a thin layer of ice has formed at the water purification place of the river back to the bay. Usually, people can't cope with the cold earlier than usual, so they go to the mountains to chop firewood. Rich and noble families do not lack materials all year round, even coal is abundant.

Wang Zan has been going out a lot these days, mostly to raise money, and his own sea salt business will be taken care of by his wife.

On that day, Su Gong divided the management rights of Haiyan into three, Wang Zan understood the worries of the court, and Zhiqu was convincing several business partners to spend money to buy the management rights of Haiyan in the past few days, of course, he did not name the seller. This is a bit difficult, but fortunately, Wang Zan keeps his promise on weekdays, and it is better to have two wealthy salt merchants from the Guo family and the Song family to hear the identity of the seller, and it is worth gambling, so he will pour out his family wealth like Wang Zan.

It took only half a month for the three wealthy merchants to raise 200,000 taels of silver, and Wang Zan asked Chen Jing for the official list of Beijing, and selected a dozen key people to distribute silver according to their close relationship with Su Gong. This is more than a dozen people, all of whom Wang Zan personally went to send the silver taels, only saying that this is the meaning of Su Gong, subsidizing the family.

It is not easy to give away 200,000 taels of silver, and there are only 60,000 taels left in the past ten days, and these 60,000 taels will be given to Cai Heng, the general in charge of Jiangyuan's defense. Jiangyuan House attacked the 36 routes, of which Wei Li was in charge of the 18th road, Cai Heng was in charge of the 9th road, and the other 9 roads were all operated independently. It can be said that Cai Heng's forces in the 36th Route defenders of Gongwei Jiangyuan are superior.

The freezing rain in Jiangyuan City made the avenue extremely smooth, and even the horse was easy to fall if you were not careful, and there was no one walking on the avenue, let alone a carriage.

The weight and volume of 60,000 taels of silver are eye-catching, and it is even more inconvenient to carry. Wang Zan found more than 30 deep bamboo baskets, and piled coal on the outside, but the 60,000 taels of silver were hidden on the inside. Or maybe it was too heavy, and the three carriages looked particularly steady on the road paved with freezing rain.

Wang Zan sat in front of the carriage at the head of the row and huddled with the coachman, and the breath exhaled by the two immediately formed into a slight Xiaoice crystal or water vapor, which was like a fog like a dream under the sun, but the dream and the fog were too short. The white breath exhaled by the horses was more imposing than Wang Zan and them, but it was also a white horse.

The carriage and horses walked steadily, even if they were slower, and the coachman did not dare to urge them for fear that the horses would slip.

The journey of half an hour on weekdays took an hour today, and Wang Zan did not dare to urge. I had to squint my eyes and take a nap.

Although Cai Heng is a martial artist, he is cautious and subtle. Wang Zan was fully prepared, for fear of being rejected, and even more afraid that Cai Heng would fall to the end.

The general is not a big official in Dongshengjiangyuan, but he still holds military power in his hands, and some people stammer.
