Chapter 235: Are You Really Coming?

In the face of the emperor's thunderous anger, Xia Yuan had no choice but to hang his head and beat his horse and walk forward, Zhu Houzhao kept twisting his head to look behind, the roar of the evil dragon just now was so loud, he was not deaf, and he heard it very clearly.

"What did you just say to your father, why is your father so angry that he wants to send someone to drive you out?"

"Earthquake."

"Earthquake?"

"Ang, to be exact, the earth collapsed, I told Your Majesty that it is likely that the provinces have collapsed, but Your Majesty does not believe it."

Hearing these words, Zhu Houzhao's face also changed, and the expression on his face was admiration and something.

Often only a large-scale earthquake is called a landslide, and a landslide is countless casualties, and there are countless silver to be put into.

This guy really dares to say anything.

This palace is not as good as you.

"The shock we felt just now is likely to be transmitted by the landslide in other provinces, and the scale of the landslide this time is very large, the minister said this, do you believe it or not?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't think much about it and nodded, "This palace is a believer." ”

"Really?"

"Naturally, it's true, well, you said that there are two suns in the sky, I believe them all, and this palace feels that it is unnecessary to talk to you about this."

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao also raised his horsewhip and pointed at the remnant sun in the sky.

"you."

Xia Yuan braked in time and swallowed the last two words back, for the sake of his mother-in-law, he still didn't scold.

What's more, he was in no mood to scold this product.

His mind is now full of the collapse of Puzhou.

The landslide is not the most terrible, the terrible thing is a series of natural disasters caused by the landslide, Puzhou is a town where the Yellow River passes, and at this time I am afraid that the estuary has burst the embankment, causing floods.

Moreover, this period was not as developed as the later generations, and the imperial court could not know in time where an earthquake occurred.

Now the whole Puzhou is seriously affected, and it has also affected the rest of the provinces, and there are aftershocks within a few days after the earthquake, and it is undoubtedly difficult to pass on the news, and it will take at least a few days for the news to reach the imperial court.

And when the imperial court responds and plans for disaster relief, and when does it really start disaster relief?

The disaster is urgent, but the imperial court knows nothing, saying that the dog emperor still doesn't believe it, and if he doesn't provide disaster relief in time, the price of food will definitely skyrocket, and it will lead to even more terrible consequences later.

Cannibalism recorded in the history books is bound to happen again.

And it's still summer, and with it comes the plague.

By the time the people sent out by the imperial court rushed over, the disaster area at that time was already a hell on earth.

The more he thought about it, the more cold Xia Yuan's face became, and then he gritted his teeth fiercely, damn, the dog emperor doesn't care about this matter, Lao Tzu will take care of it first!

"Your Highness, when you return to the palace, take out the silver you have saved."

"Silver, silver? What silver? Zhu Houzhao almost bit his tongue, is it easy for this palace to save some silver, and he actually let this palace take it out.

"I will use the silver to buy food and medicine, and when the time comes, I will also take out the silver I have earned in the past few months to buy food and medicine, and then transport it to the disaster area for disaster relief."

"Disaster relief?!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened several times, "Are you really here?" ”

"You think I'm joking with you? This landslide is from other provinces, can be transmitted to the capital, there must have been an extremely serious landslide, there must have been an extremely serious landslide, countless deaths and injuries of people and animals, and the mouth of the river burst the embankment, now we have to hurry to the disaster relief and transport grain, otherwise the head is people cannibalism. ”

Hearing that people eat people, Zhu Houzhao's heart trembled instinctively, these three words are too terrifying, even if he has not seen them, but as long as he hears them, he will have a chilling feeling, and he will have an instinctive fear of this.

"But, it doesn't have to be a real landslide, it should just be a small earthquake around Jingshi, you"

"Your Highness is reluctant to give up the silver?"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously puffed up his chest and said highly: "Is this palace the one who can't give up the silver?" ”

"Then you don't say anything, give the silver to the minister for a while, not too much, Your Highness can just give a few thousand taels."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned, "A few thousand taels? ”

"Aang."

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver in this palace, you only need a few thousand taels?"

"If you don't give a word, it will be regarded as a loan from you."

"You don't like to hear this, it seems that this palace is very unrighteous. can save so much silver, this palace knows who it is, it's just a few thousand taels, don't say borrow, even if you ask me directly, I will give it directly. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao paused and asked again: "Is it really only a few thousand taels?" ”

"It's a few thousand taels."

“.”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, and he only needed a few thousand taels of silver.

If you feel that you don't have enough money to buy food for disaster relief, then you should ask for all your money. But as long as a few thousand taels, are you short of these thousands of taels of silver?

Of course, Xia Yuan is not short of these thousands of taels, what he wants is not Xiao Zhu's silver, but only the name of his prince, he has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his house, and he is still short of his silver?

If all these hundreds of thousands of taels are exchanged for grain, according to the current price of grain, grain can buy as much as one million stones, enough for millions of people to eat for a month.

And it's still the kind that opens its belly to show off.

And disaster relief does not need to buy so much at all, and besides, the market will definitely not be able to buy so much food in a short period of time, at most it is only 100,000 stones, which is enough.

Transported over first to solve the urgent need, and then waited for the court to know the news, and the matter of transporting grain for disaster relief was the court's.

The silver that needs Zhu Houzhao is to let him participate in this matter, and with his participation, some troubles that may arise in the future can be solved.

As for what trouble, of course, it was found by the ministers of the court and the central government, and by those imperial historians who were full of food and had nothing to do.

They can definitely do this kind of thing.

An official gives money to replace the court for disaster relief, what kind of heart do you have?

Are you trying to buy people's hearts and minds with this?

When these words are heard in the emperor's ears, what will the emperor think? Will it be too careful?

Even if the emperor doesn't think much about anything and doesn't care too much, then he will feel embarrassed to be participated in by these imperial historians.

And Zhu Houzhao, he is the crown prince, the prince, and the future emperor, as long as he has thousands of taels of silver, this disaster relief is equivalent to his participation, then it occupies the righteousness, and no one can say anything.

There's no way, it's so unreasonable these days, it's obviously a good thing, but you still have to find a name and pull a tiger skin.

Stabilizing his mind, Xia Yuan continued to calculate, there is no shortage of manpower, there are thousands of employees under his hands, close to 10,000 people, it is not difficult to transfer hundreds of thousands of people, Tangfang has built a wharf in the first two months, and there are several large ships, and Caoyun is leading to the political envoy of Henan, which can be transported by water.

But it should not be able to reach Puzhou, such a large-scale earthquake will affect the surrounding provinces, and there must be a place where the flow of water will be interrupted.

There are also doctors, how can there be doctors who are willing to go to the disaster area, tie up a few?
