Chapter 323: Meat in the Tiger's Mouth

In this way, the people of Kaiyuan have benefited and benefited, who do they remember in their hearts? I must remember His Royal Highness King Han, and the people in the northwest have also got food and seeds, even if this disaster year has passed, otherwise it will be winter in less than half a month, and it will be winter, and the sky will snow heavily, and the people will have no fixed place to live, and they will not be able to freeze to death on the side of the road.

His Royal Highness can think of the people in his heart and think about the people, but the king of Jin can't do this step of his Royal Highness, and now he still wants to put some money in his pocket, and he is afraid that 10% of the silver will go into his own pocket.

It's disgusting! Disgusting! If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

"Your Highness, it's easy to say that this amount of money is divided, but whether it's three, two, or fifty, my Highness means that at least ninety percent or more of it will fall into the hands of the victims and the people."

"In the year of the catastrophe in the northwest this year, the imperial court has already issued some disaster relief silver before, and those disaster relief silver are almost hundreds of thousands of taels, which is not a small amount, but the lower officials saw the scene of Taiyuan today, and countless people starved to death on the roadside along the way, but I am afraid that not much of these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have fallen into the mouths of the people."

"At that time, the court couldn't grasp this matter, after all, the court had just stabilized, and if it held on to these small things at that time, I was afraid that it would backfire, so the top would turn a blind eye."

"If these three million taels of silver are used on the people, but it solves a bunch of problems for Shanxi, the people are hungry to death this year, but what about the next year? You always need money to buy seeds, right? ”

"The people have seeds planted in the ground, even if the people's livelihood in Shanxi is off to a good start, it will not take two or three years to completely recover, but if half of the three million taels are cut out, only 1.5 million taels will be left in the mouths of the people of a province. Not to mention buying seeds. ”

This King of Jin does not have such a high temperament, nor does he have such a noble spirit, listening to Ye Biqing's words, he thought that he was dissatisfied with his Royal Highness, or he himself was not satisfied with the price, he was also an official and wanted to make some money, which is understandable.

King Jin gestured four fingers.

As for the people of Shanxi Province, please rest assured, as long as everything is good to say after this winter, in the coming year, our Shanxi government will preside over and distribute seeds to the people! It will definitely not drag down the court any longer. ”

Ye Biqing sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the lower officials also know that it is not easy for His Highness, His Royal Highness's move is nothing more than to continue to strengthen his position in Taiyuan, His Royal Highness just wants to tie the officials of the province firmly to his side, I am afraid that someone will divide the power in His Highness's hands, right?" ”

When King Jin's face changed when he heard this, he panicked at first, then calmed down, and warned with a fierce look in his eyes: "Slandering the prince is a serious crime, even if you are the official of the Jinyi Guard, if I want to go to the emperor to sue the emperor, you will not be able to escape!" ”

Ye Biqing sneered, this dog man is greedy, and he warns himself so naively, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the lower officials heard from my Royal Highness that the emperor has to do a lot of things today, building the Great Wall, building treasure fleets to the West, and His Royal Highness is also the king of Sai, and he should also know the various tribes outside this pass, which is getting more and more year by year.

"As far as the three things that the lower officials know, none of them are costly, Your Highness knows that the emperor has allocated three million taels this time to provide disaster relief in Shanxi, what a determination it has! You're snatching meat from a tiger's mouth to eat! ”

"If Your Highness wants to sue the lower officials, the lower officials will not be able to escape, and they will inevitably be removed from their official positions, and may even be exiled, but Your Highness, don't forget, what did Your Highness just say to your lower officials!"

To tell the truth, this King of Jin was originally dissatisfied with King Yan's usurpation, but now he is already the emperor, and he also understands that he is not the opponent of the fourth uncle at all.

Now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, if what the surname Ye said is true, then it is really a meat grabber from the tiger's mouth to eat, this tiger has already given you the meat, if you don't eat it well, then it's your problem, the tiger is going to be mad.

But King Jin is a generation of princes, if you want him to suffer so unexplained, he will definitely not do it.

"Lord Ye is reasonable, but what Lord Ye said just now, this king also remembers every sentence in his heart, this king also wants to ask Lord Ye a question, why does His Royal Highness King Han, the uncle of this king, have to transport grain from the northeast to the northwest to sell it? That's the domain of this king's uncle, so much grain, bought with silver, those grain merchants have made a lot of money, won't they secretly honor this king's uncle behind their backs? ”

"Buns are not eaten by one person, this plate of big buns always has to be eaten by others, so that everyone can keep silent and expose this matter silently.

Ye Biqing looked at His Royal Highness the King of Jin and smiled: "Your Highness, what are you talking about, although my Royal Highness is also greedy for money, there is also a saying that there is a way to get rich, and this is exactly the case with His Royal Highness." ”

"Take what should be taken, don't take what shouldn't be taken, my Royal Highness's move is also for the people of Shaanxi and Shanxi, if the people are living steadily, can the officials of the two places live a down-to-earth life?"

"In short, if His Highness is willing to let the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong account for five, and the grain merchants in the northeast account for five, then we will have no problem, just wait for the grain merchants to arrive, and we will immediately open a warehouse and release grain."

"If His Highness doesn't agree, anyway, there will be some time before the grain merchants can arrive, Your Highness will go back first and wait for the time being, think about it, the lower officials are very tired along the way, so don't bother much, and leave."

Ye Biqing got up and left after speaking, and the internal organs of King Jin were almost twisted together, and it was reversed! It's really the opposite, this woman is really unusual, no wonder she can confuse the twenty uncles.

After Ye Biqing left the restaurant, he directly asked someone to rent a small courtyard large enough nearby, and all the silver was hidden in the small courtyard, with three floors inside, and three layers outside the outer three floors protected by brocade guards, and there were 8,000 imperial troops outside Taiyuan Mansion.

The 8,000 imperial army was led by Chen Zheng, and the military power was in Chen Zheng's hands, and Ye Biqing was able to mobilize His Royal Highness and later allocated fifty people to himself, a total of 100 brocade guards.

Ye Biqing didn't care about the king of Jin, and asked the king of Jin to go back and discuss with the Shanxi officials what to do, whether to divide five or five points with the grain merchants in the northeast and the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong according to their own methods, or according to their original plan, to share three or seven points with His Royal Highness King Han.
