Chapter 158: Predictive Proposals for Disaster Relief
"Young Master, can this work?"
"If we do this, will we be impeached?"
"The last general is not afraid of losing his official position, but he is worried about you, young master, but he is afraid that he will be targeted by the Yushitai ......"
When Longhua rescued people, Fang Jue and the others were watching this scene not far away.
deliberately transferred the elite to give Long Xuewei a chance to come in, which was also the tacit understanding between Fang Jue and the Beiliang royal family.
Long before the emperor's instructions, Fang Jue had already sent people to contact the Beiliang royal family to sell Chen Zhi.
Although this person does not have much military talent, as a royal family and holding military persuasion, he can still restrain Luo Yang, and the Beiliang royal family will never allow him to have an accident.
So even if Fang Jue offered a sky-high price, the other party could accept it.
"200,000 taels of silver, but only 20,000 taels of gold, no matter how poor the country is, the royal family can take out this money without blinking."
Since ancient times, there has really been no dynasty that has died poor.
The royal family has absolute financial resources to have the absolute right to speak.
"Then Long Xuewei came here from the Northern Liang Capital, how could he have time to bring so many silver taels and arrive within a few days?"
Chen Zhi was captured, and it was only five days.
Even if he communicates with Beiliang on the same day, he won't have the money to send it so quickly.
"Of course it wasn't from the capital of Beiliang, the royal family of Beiliang has money banks everywhere and firmly controls the economic lifeline of the entire vassal state, and this money should be sent from a big money village in their south."
Bai Qing also has some understanding of Beiliang.
After all, Western Chu and Northern Liang are also partially bordered, so they will naturally know themselves and each other.
"Selling 200,000 taels, this money is enough to buy a lot of grain, and Suzhou's early disaster relief has been settled." Wei Ran also breathed a sigh of relief.
"200,000 taels is not enough, far from enough." Ye Hongyi shook his head and looked at Fang Jue.
Fang Jue said: "When this money arrives, take it with you, let's go to Ganzhou." ”
……
Xia Kingdom, Jinling.
In the Fengtian Palace, it was another court meeting, but everyone was very energetic today.
Because yesterday's war report entered Beijing, although it is confidential, there is no need to suppress this kind of happy event, it has long been known to everyone.
Xiao Pingsi looked at the hundred officials below, his mood was rare and a little relaxed, and said with a smile:
"Yesterday's battle report of the young division has returned to Beijing, the Yulin Army and the Liangzhou battalion broke the Beiliang Army, captured the Beiliang Deputy General Chen Zhi, and chased the remnants of the Beiliang Army until the ...... outside the Snow Valley Pass"
Many things are true, but when combined, they are a bit fake.
This battle report was naturally not written by Fang Jue, there were documents in the army, which could be written.
Under the compromise and demands of all parties, such a perfect battle report was written.
Every sentence in the battle report is true, not a word of lie, but the facts are naturally a little different from this.
Among them, the matter about the grain that Bei Liang had obtained would naturally not be written in this public report, and it had already been presented to the emperor by the Hanging Sword Division.
"This battle is a big victory!" Xiao Pingsi opened his arms and laughed.
The ministers bowed their heads: "Long live Your Majesty......"
Next, there is a process of chanting merits.
All parties are supporting people for themselves, and they begin to show merit and recommend promotions.
After a long time, seeing that everyone was running out of praise, Zhuge Qingshan saw that the time was almost up, so he went out of class to talk about another serious matter.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a report."
Zhuge Qingshan bowed slightly, and after receiving the emperor's signal, he said:
"The great victory in this battle should be a credit to the northern generals, but the damage caused by the Northern Liang Army cannot be ignored."
"Suzhou was broken into the city, and the Beiliang army slaughtered our soldiers defending the city, and the ministers thought that it was a traitor, not the responsibility of the soldiers...... Please ask Your Majesty to compensate for the casualties and soldiers to reassure the army. ”
"That's right......" Everyone remembered that those souls of Suzhou seemed to wake up from a dream one by one.
Xiao Pingsi nodded: "Shoufu said very much, the young master reported that He An had already pleaded guilty, and it was he who colluded with the Beiliang Army before to cause such a catastrophe...... An explanation should be sought for the dead and wounded! ”
"......"
There are also some people who don't know, when they know that He Anzhen has done so many things, they are immediately filled with righteous indignation.
Only the people of the He family were immediately embarrassed and frightened, for fear of being implicated.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Zhuge Qingshan first praised a sentence, and then mentioned the right thing:
"The city of Suzhou is broken, the people naturally suffer, and the Northern Liang army must burn and loot wherever they go, and the minister thinks that although the north has not yet sent the detailed rules for the disaster in Suzhou, it should be prepared for ......."
"I actually forgot about this...... Yan Lanfeng was stunned, and immediately left the shift, "The minister seconded the proposal, this is the duty of the household department, the minister is busy today, please forgive your majesty." ”
During this time, it was necessary to set up a glass factory, supervise the fireworks factory, and ensure the daily operation of the household department...... Yan Lanfeng is no easier than the first assistant of the cabinet.
So much so that these things that could have been predicted in previous years were all negligent.
Zhuge Qingshan also immediately spoke for Yan Lanfeng: "Why should Yan Shangshu blame himself, everyone has negligence. ”
"What Lao Aiqing said is extremely true, the household department should arrange the disaster relief in Suzhou as soon as possible." Xiao Pingsi also nodded, not blaming the household department for dereliction of duty.
After all, he also knows how busy Yan Lanfeng has been recently, and he is doing things for the country, so why should he be harsh.
"Your Majesty, disaster relief is a major matter, and it should be arranged in detail, and the minister has some ideas." Among the cabinet ministers, there is one person who walks out.
Cabinet University Scholar Yan Neng.
He said: "The minister thinks that Suzhou is far away, and if you mobilize grain and grass from the capital or other places, the loss is too huge on the way, so it is better to raise food in the north nearby." ”
"Well, Yan Aiqing is reasonable, and I also have this intention, what did the court do when I encountered such things in previous years?"
Xiao Pingsi naturally didn't remember it, he just wanted to see how many people present would agree with Yan Neng's words.
Mobilize ...... in situ These four words represent ten thousand taels of gold.
Zhuge Qingshan pretended not to understand Yan Neng's meaning, and said lightly: "The minister can't remember clearly. ”
Xiao Pingsi smiled, and the first assistant of the heart path was still a little self-controlled.
So he looked at Tobe.
Yan Lanfeng rolled his eyes and glanced at many people present before he knew what this meant.
However, he also replied cleverly: "Your Majesty, in such cases, the household department only paid for it in previous years, as for how to raise it on the spot...... The minister thought that he still had to ask Lord Yan to be. ”
Yan Neng frowned, but he didn't expect that after turning around, the pot would return to him.
Xiao Pingsi looked at Yan Neng: "Yan Qing, since it is your idea, then it is up to you to talk about it, how to raise it on the spot, right?" ”
Zhuge Qingshan lowered his head, counted the embroideries on his feet, and sighed in his heart that his eyesight was not as good as before, and he couldn't see clearly.
There was no one in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to help.
Yan Neng had to swallow it himself.
"Your Majesty...... The minister thought that the official grain of the state capitals should be mobilized in the north to store, and the local grain merchants could be found if there were deficiencies. ”
The word grain merchant is exported, and no matter how stupid people are, they understand something.
But on this line, there are more than one or two people.
Immediately, someone had to stand up and say, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Yan said has some truth, and the loss of grain and grass near the capital is too great and not cost-effective." ”
"The minister seconded the ......"
Xiao Pingsi nodded with a smile and glanced at Wang Feng beside him.
Wang Feng was signaled by a look, immediately understood something, and secretly remembered the names of these people.
"The grain reserves in various places must be prepared for local famines, and the military reserves that have broken out in the big war must not be moved at will!" Xia Song, the secretary of the military department, immediately stood up and said.
He didn't object to Yan Neng's intentions, but he was only against taking grain from nearby state capitals.
Then there is only one way left.
Grain merchants.
Xia Song's hand made the emperor and Shoufu unable to see it clearly.
I don't know if he is really doing his duty, or if he also has some selfish intentions.
Xiao Pingsi saw that Yan Neng didn't say more, and he also knew that this person was cautious and didn't dare to say too much.
Just a little guidance:
"Yan Qing, then according to the disaster situation in Suzhou between you, which grain merchant in the north can give him a strong relief?"
"......," Yan Neng said without blushing and without a heartbeat, "Then it should be the only one who has the background of the Emperor Pavilion, the largest grain merchant in the north - Andorun." ”
"Ann...... Road...... Lun? Xiao Pingsi bowed slightly.
This name has been heard no less than 20 times in the more than ten years since he ascended the throne.
I even met with him.
Andorun has a background in the Emperor's Pavilion, so no one dares to attack him, so he can only compete by normal commercial means...... However, this person has the means and understands business very well, so he quickly became bigger.
When the sun was in full swing, even Xiao Pingsi received him, just so that the household could get some discounts when he bought grain from him.
This person's reputation, even Xiao Pingsi, has to admit that there is no one who can stand out in the grain business world.
