Chapter 460: Jia Cong's advice
Hearing this, Jia Cong's heart moved.
On the face of it, this is not a safe approach.
However, if you think about it carefully, the intention of supervision and coercion implied in it is clearly revealed.
Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, once they are controlled and made difficult, they have no good way, so they can't kill people with knives, right? That's a cabinet minister, if he really dares to kill him, it will definitely not be good.
This old guy doesn't know what he's trying to do? It's really insidious and cunning.
I am not afraid of supervision, I am going to war, not rebellion, I love supervision and supervision.
It's just that the grain and grass in this army must not fall into the hands of others, in case the time is delayed, who will reason with him.
Before Jia Cong could speak, Emperor Longqing looked at Hu Yong and said, "Hu Aiqing, what do you think about Yang Aiqing's proposal?"
For Yang Huai's thoughts, Emperor Longqing could see at a glance, in fact, this is exactly what he wants, so it is easier for him to control the overall situation and prevent unnecessary accidents.
Although he believes that Jia Cong can add a layer of insurance, wouldn't it be more reassuring.
The emperor is suspicious, nothing more than this, not only to use you, but also to guard against you.
Emperor Longqing's meaning has already indicated his attitude, Hu Yong, an old oilman, is very clear and clear, and naturally it will not violate his will.
Hu Yong's face was solemn, he thought a little, and nodded, "The minister seconded the proposal!"
Hearing his words, Emperor Longqing was overjoyed, thought for a moment, looked in the direction of the cabinet, and asked, "I wonder which Aiqing is willing to go?"
Li Rong, a scholar of Tiren Pavilion, said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go."
Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction, and said to Jia Cong, "Jia Aiqing, Li Aiqing will help you, you should rest assured."
Jia Cong was silent for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is going to quell the rebellion, he has no two hearts, and he is not afraid of anyone's supervision. But grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and they must not be held in the hands of people who are not controlled by their ministers.
Military rations and disaster relief rations must be separated and cannot be held in the hands of one person. Lord Li has no opinion on going to the disaster relief minister, Lord Li is responsible for preparing grain and grass, and the minister has no opinion, but the grain and grass raised must be handed over to our army one month in advance."
When Emperor Longqing heard this, his face darkened, this bastard boy, even if you can see it, why do you have to say it, isn't this a slap in the face?
Before Emperor Longqing could speak, Li Rong quit and said angrily, "Ning Guogong, what do you mean by this, do you not trust this official? Do you think this official will not distinguish between public and private?"
Jia Cong hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Li is too careful, I don't mean to target Lord Li, I'm just talking about things, because once disaster relief begins, disaster relief food will never be enough, what should Lord Li do then?"
I think that at the beginning, the imperial court made arrangements in advance and allocated a large amount of money and grain for disaster relief, but what was the result? I believe Master Li has also seen that this disaster relief matter is the responsibility of your cabinet, and you should know the Tao very well."
To put it mildly, Shaanxi has reached today's situation, and the cabinet is most responsible.
Although it is not necessarily their doing, but the black-box operation of those officials under them, they turned a blind eye, indulged and indulged them, and did not control them, which led to today's outcome.
They are the people who are offended by the court, and they should be cut with a thousand knives.
Li Rong, Hu Yong, Yang Huai, Liu Jin and other cabinet ministers were directly poked in the bones, and their faces were very ugly.
It's just that Jia Cong is telling the truth, and they can't refute it, so they can only hang their eyelids and pretend that they didn't hear it.
Niu Jizong looked at Jia Cong, then at Hu Yong and the others, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, Jia Cong, this kid doesn't suffer at all, these old boys are really self-inflicted.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but shake his head and sighed lightly, he was still young in the end, he provoked these people, and he would wait to be calculated in the future, these people are not open-minded masters.
Seeing that several cabinet ministers were silent and looked constipated, Emperor Longqing also felt a little relieved.
He was the one who was most unhappy with these old guys, but he didn't want to make things too stiff, so he hurriedly said, "Jia Aiqing, what you said also makes sense, now everything is based on the battle situation, and I will grant you what you want.
However, the disaster relief cannot be ignored, and the imperial court is also a little powerless and unable to bear all the burdens, so I wonder if Jia Aiqing has any good strategies to solve this problem?"
The lack of food for disaster relief is a problem that everyone knows about.
As for the little silver in the treasury, even if it is all emptied, it will be a drop in the bucket.
Otherwise, a large amount of relief food will be transported to the disaster area, and everyone will be able to eat enough, and who will rebel without any trouble.
[In view of the general environment,
This is also the reason why Emperor Longqing had no choice but to watch the situation in Shaanxi erode, but he could not do anything, so he could only throw this matter to the cabinet and let them find a way to solve it.
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of disaster relief, the minister does have some ideas, relying solely on the imperial court to provide food, it is estimated that it will not be much, and for many disaster victims, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.
The minister's method is to mobilize the merchants of the world, as well as the landlords and gentry from all over the country, as well as those rich people, to transport grain into Shaanxi······
Without waiting for Jia Cong to finish speaking, Yang Huai sneered and said, "This official still thinks that Ning Guogong has any good way, that's it? It doesn't work at all, those businessmen can't afford to make no profits, how can they give money and grain in vain? Not to mention that they have to travel thousands of miles to Shaanxi, which is simply a big joke in the world."
Li Rong said: "The official also feels that this matter is not feasible, and let them contribute money and effort in vain, how can those people be willing? Ning Guogong's idea is a little too naïve."
Hu Yong bowed his head and said, "Ning Guogong's idea is good, but it is a little unrealistic, and he is still too young."
Emperor Longqing also shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this method is inappropriate, even if I make an order, it is estimated that few people will respond, this kind of unprofitable thing, it is estimated that few people are willing to do it, right?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true, unprofitable things, and indeed few people are willing to do it. But what if it's profitable, what about double the benefits, triple the benefits, or even more? I guess I'll rush to go, right?
Now there is a serious shortage of grain in Shaanxi, and the price is high, up to ten taels of silver and one stone, even if it is transported and sold for six or seven taels of one stone, it is also violent.
If you have money, you can also participate in it, that is, to help the country with disaster relief, and also to earn some expenses for yourself, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, and then there will be no shortage of food in Shaanxi."
Yang Huai said: "Ning Guogong is very embarrassed, how can I make these black money, and those disaster victims, where do they have the money to buy food, what you say is not equivalent to saying it in vain."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Lord Yang's words are wrong, it's better to make some money and spend it openly than to be sneaky, corrupt and bribe, and be a corrupt official." Although there are many people affected by the disaster, there are also many rich people, and they also need food, so that they can eat cheap food, which can be regarded as disaster relief, otherwise they will become disaster victims when they run out of money."
Niu Jizong said: "I think Ning Guogong's method is very good, if you really send food for free, then the food will not reach the victims at all."
Hu Yong glanced at Niu Jizong, turned his head to Jia Cong and said, "According to Ning Guogong's intentions, those real disaster victims don't care?"
Jia Cong said: "Disaster relief is the business of the imperial court, the imperial court can't be a dime, the imperial court can come forward to hire local disaster victims, set up porridge sheds and porridge, or hire some young people, build bridges, pave roads, dig canals, and carry out post-disaster infrastructure construction, the imperial court only needs to take care of their food, isn't this the best of both worlds?"
At the same time, let the people who go to sell grain take out 10% of the grain, set up porridge shacks, and provide relief to the old, weak, sick and disabled. If a large amount of grain enters Shaanxi, it will not take more than a year for the price of grain to be suppressed, and when the rebels are pacified, the disaster will naturally ease."
Emperor Longqing is dark
Nodded darkly, this idea is indeed good.
Jia Cong's brain is flexible, and he can think of this method, and he is really a talent.
Song Yan, the head of the household, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Ning Guogong's method is indeed feasible, it is worth trying, at least it can save some money and food for the imperial court, if it is operated properly, it may really solve the current situation."
Emperor Longqing said, "I also think I can give it a try, what do you think?"
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
······
A chorus of echo resounded in the hall.
Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "This matter is so decided, and the cabinet will spread this matter to the world, calling on wealthy businessmen from all over the world to respond to this disaster relief. The general order was that the merchants, nobles, officials, and capable people in the capital were the first batch of disaster relief workers to transport grain into Shaanxi.
Ning Guogong, this matter is your idea, shouldn't you take the lead, set an example for everyone, and also contribute to disaster relief?"
When all the ministers heard this, they all looked at Jia Cong.
Some nimble-minded people have begun to make small calculations, thinking of taking this opportunity to make a big profit.
Jia Cong arched his hand and said, "Since Your Majesty has given the minister this opportunity to make money, the minister will naturally grasp it, and the minister will prepare 200,000 stone of grain, and after the army, it will be transported to Shaanxi. The minister's chamber of commerce also has many partners, and the minister will also inform them and let them transport grain to Shaanxi."
When Emperor Longqing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
This time, Jia Cong is out of the horse, and Shaanxi is worry-free.
Seeing that he even thought of post-war disaster relief, he should be sure of victory.
Thinking of this, Emperor Longqing shouted: "Spread the decree and appoint Jia Cong, the commander of the forbidden army, as the commander of the Shaanxi Theater, as the commander of the Shaanxi Theater, and give Shang Fang the sword, which can be cut first and then played, and lead 100,000 horses and horses such as the vanguard battalion, Zhenwu battalion, Yangwei battalion, Shenji battalion, and forbidden army, and be fully responsible for exterminating the rebels in Shaanxi and transporting grain into Shaanxi.
Li Rong, a scholar of Tirenge University, was the minister of the Imperial Mission, responsible for the supply of food and grass for the army, as well as post-war disaster relief and reconstruction work, and pacified the affected people on behalf of the imperial court. Prepare the materials needed by the army and don't delay the army's journey."
"Obey, sir."
Jia Cong, Li Rong, Li Guanglu, and Song Yan all stepped forward to receive the order.
Emperor Longqing said, "Let's stop here today."
Dai Quan shouted, "Retreat to the ······"
······
When Jia Cong walked out of the door of the main hall, he saw Lin Ruhai waiting on the side.
hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted: "Little son-in-law, I have seen my father-in-law."
Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, this time you lead the troops to quell the rebellion, you must be more careful, the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce and dangerous, you should be safe, you would rather not take credit, but also ensure your own safety, Yu'er is still waiting for you at home, don't let everyone worry about you." And Yu'er has become wild with you, and you are not allowed to take her to the battlefield."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely be cautious, with the support of 100,000 troops, I will be fine, and I will not take Sister Lin to the battlefield." By the way, I will also get some food in the house, find a steward to take it, and follow the team in my house to Shaanxi."
Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "There is no shortage of this money at home, and this money is a bit of a loss."
Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, this is wrong, we are not here to make money, but to respond to His Majesty's call to disaster relief, only when we bring in more grain, the price of grain will drop, and the people can eat cheap grain, we are doing a good deed."
"Hahahaha, Brother Cong is right, this is indeed a good deed, this king also prepares a grain team, following Brother Cong's food team, and when the time comes, I will trouble Brother Cong to take care of one or two."
King Beijing was dissolved, and came to the two with a smile on his face.
Jia Cong arched his hand and said, "It turned out that the prince had arrived, this is a trivial matter, the prince can rest assured."
Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled bitterly, arched his hand at Shui Rong, and said to Jia Cong, "Okay, just listen to you, I will let the housekeeper find you."
After saying that, he didn't stay, turned around and left
Finish.
Niu Jizong also came over and said with a smile: "Ning Guogong, my Niu family also prepares a grain team, there is no problem with taking your ride at that time, right?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Uncle Niu said that it is a trivial matter, when you prepare the grain, just contact my grain team, give you a month to prepare, and the grain team will set off in a month."
Niu Jizong said: "Such a good thing, it is estimated that many people will participate, you kid has found a good way for everyone to make money, so that everyone can make some money to spend." By the way, are you sure about this counterinsurgency?"
Jia Cong said: "Naturally, there is no certainty of absolute victory, but it is not so easy for them to defeat me, I will not give them this opportunity, give me a certain amount of time, and I will definitely be able to settle down in Shaanxi."
Hearing Jia Cong say this, the two of them were completely relieved, and they didn't have to worry about the food being lost.
For Jia Cong's combat power, the two of them are still very confident, no matter how strong those traitors are, they can still be stronger than the elite of the barbarians.
Shui Rong said with a smile: "As a brother, I wish Brother Cong a victory, success, and another brilliant record."
Jia Cong hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you for your auspicious words."
