After the meal, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was not in a hurry to change places, if Ye Biqing was a man, why not bring him to the Jin Palace, if he showed favor to his uncle, he was a daughter, and the women dressed as men were so charming and charming, if they were brought home. Maybe someone will get caught.

"Lord Ye's situation is urgent, let's not leave much, let's just say it here, the crops of the people affected by the disaster in Shanxi this time have not been harvested, there are hundreds of thousands of victims, and almost all the people in the province have been affected, I don't know how many taels of silver Lord Ye brought with him this time?"

During the Hongwu period, the power of the feudal kings in various places was very large, and they could directly participate in local political affairs, just like a small local court.

Moreover, the specifications of the palace are almost a small palace, and local officials also have to go to the palace every day to report official affairs, to put it bluntly, they go to a small palace to go to court.

And at this time, it was the fourth year of Jianwen Emperor Yongle changed to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Yongle Emperor has not cut the domain at the moment, and Shanxi has suffered from a great drought that has not been encountered in a century, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is naturally the first to bear the brunt and shoulder the responsibility, so His Royal Highness the King of Jin naturally has the final say in this relief of the victims.

Ye Biqing watched His Royal Highness the King of Jin so bluntly inquire about the specific amount of disaster relief silver, and she was not ambiguous and reported it directly.

"Your Royal Highness, this disaster relief silver was collected by His Royal Highness my family from two Zhejiang and two Huai salt taxes, this time it was about 10 million taels, the imperial court divided 6 million taels, and Shaanxi and Shanxi each received 3 million taels."

"Your Highness, rest assured, this number is really stable, and there will definitely be no fluctuations, after all, it was brought over by His Royal Highness and the lower officials together."

His Royal Highness the King of Jin nodded after hearing this: "Three million taels is enough for disaster relief, but the grain in Shanxi and nearby has been almost bought, and this disaster relief still depends on food, and it can't just be given to the people with silver, and now silver is a stone for the victims." ”

Ye Biqing smiled and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness the King of Jin, rest assured, Your Royal Highness my family has already arranged it, and the food is already on the way." ”

"Oh? Food on the way? From Gangnam? ”

Ye Biqing shook her head: "Your Highness is not from Jiangnan, but from the northeast. ”

"Northeast?" King Jin immediately understood: "Is it the domain of Uncle Benwang?" ”

Ye Biqing nodded: "Yes, it is the domain of my Royal Highness, my Royal Highness has cultivated dozens of fields in Kaiyuan, the land of Kaiyuan is fertile, and the grain that grows is big and abundant, long before His Royal Highness left Beijing, he had written a letter asking the Marquis of Kaiyuan, who guarded Kaiyuan, to prepare grain and send it to the northwest, and then asked His Royal Highness to preside, in front of the people of the city and the victims, we handed over silver with one hand and exchanged food with the other, and the grain was distributed on the spot, if there were displaced and homeless, we would open a porridge shed on the spot!" ”

After hearing this, King Jin didn't show much joy, Ye Biqing looked at King Jin and asked with some puzzlement.

"Is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness King Jin?"

King Jin sighed: "This king won't hide it from you, anyway, this matter won't be hidden for long, and this king didn't expect that you have already arranged it, this ...... The Shanxi government has already contacted some grain merchants from other places under the presence of this king, such as the grain merchants in Henan, Shandong and other places, they are estimated to be on the road now, if the grain from the northeast arrives, I am afraid that they will ......"

Ye Biqing understood, and when King Jin said this, he understood everything.

Not to mention the chaos of the old Zhu family, Zhu Di made his nephew's rebellion, and the Jin Wang's family actually did not stop, Zhu Di's third brother is the Jin King Zhu Li, who liked the eldest son very much when he was alive, and this also made Zhu Jixi, the third son of the King of Jin who is now the king of Pingyang County, very unhappy in his heart.

After the death of Zhu Li, the king of Jin, Zhu Jixi, as the eldest son of the eldest son, naturally took the title and became the new king of Jin, but according to the Jinyi Wei detective, the two brothers are also very incompatible in private on weekdays, especially the king of Pingyang County, who likes to find something to disgust his brother when he has nothing to do.

King Jin has contacted in advance, the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong, to put it bluntly, hoarding grain is to win people's hearts, after all, the Shanxi government has a lot of room to find people to buy grain, and King Jin can also give some benefits to his subordinates, so that his subordinates will stand on his side more firmly, so as not to let his third brother be co-opted.

Seeing that King Jin's expression was as uncomfortable as eating horse dung, Ye Biqing had already guessed that King Jin was still thinking about how to keep quiet, not reveal his true purpose, and continue to reserve the operable space for him, but he didn't expect that the person on the other side was really a personal essence.

However, this matter is also a big matter for Ye Biqing, his idea is naturally to provide disaster relief one day earlier, and to do things beautifully without leaving trouble for His Royal Highness, which is naturally the best, but if King Jin does not agree, even if he is full of wisdom and has thousands of means, he is still in Shanxi, and he can't resist him.

The only good way that Ye Biqing can think of now is that the grain merchants in the Northeast and the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong should come in vain, so where should the rest of the grain be transported back from.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, since Your Highness has already found it in advance, the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong will do so, let's do it in five or five, the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong account for five, and the grain merchants in the Northeast account for five, what do you think?"

After hearing this, King Jin shook his head, and immediately refused: "I'm afraid it's not good, although the land of Kaiyuan is fertile and the grain is abundant, but the grain merchants in Henan, Shandong and other places have also been contacted early, and the king has made a package with them, and when they arrived in Shanxi, they found that only a small half of the grain could be left, and they would definitely not agree." ”

"But I want to come to this king's uncle chose to transport grain from Kaiyuan, but also intends to gather the people of his own domain is also to seek some benefits from it, these kings all understand, this king will not let this king's uncle go all the way to such a trip to make a deficit, we have already thought about it, this overall disaster relief silver three or seven points, Shanxi after all has to provide disaster relief, five of which will fall into the hands of the victims, and there are still two percent, these two achievements have Shanxi officials to divide equally."

Ye Biqing frowned in disgust after hearing this, the princes of the world are really not the same, this keeps the people in mind, and there is only one of our own Han kings who have the world in mind.

His Royal Highness King Han is not short of silver, these silver are life-saving silver for the victims, in addition to saving the current life, the future life will also be saved, the people have to buy the seeds for the coming year, right?

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Han came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, the disaster relief silver should fall into the hands of the victims as much as possible, and the seeds for the disaster victims and the people to be cultivated in the coming year should be bought, and a lot of grain storage in his own domain was also just taken out and sold
