Mo Xuan and everyone glanced at each other, thinking that it was the first time they arrived, so they should take a look first.

The county magistrate brought people to the mansion and hurriedly ordered people to boil water.

"Hurry up, boil water and take a hot bath for adults!"

Mo Xuan hurriedly stopped the person, "No need, I'll just wipe it with a little water." ”

The county magistrate's expression froze, and he smiled and spoke.

"Hehe, it's the lower officials who are not sensible."

Zero One Inch did not leave Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan wiped his body inside, and he stood guard at the door.

"My lord, this county master is very interesting."

"Oh? Do you see that? Mo Xuan laughed, this person was too obvious.

"Well, the people along the way are all yellow and thin-skinned, and their faces are fearful, and they are not looking at us, but the county master."

"It seems that the prestige is very deep, but it is not ruled out that it will be suppressed by the county lord."

"And this person has a fat head and big ears, he must be able to eat enough, and he directly ordered someone to boil water, at least he is not a person who is short of water."

I have seen a lot of officials along the way, but there are few county masters who are obese, almost all of them are thin and simple, and it is the first time I have seen such a fat county master.

Mo Xuan nodded, "In this way, I will repair a book in a while, and you will send someone back to the capital, one for the county lord and one for the lady." ”

"Okay, my lord," Zero One suddenly teased, "Does your lord miss Madame?" ”

Mo Xuan didn't speak, the faces of the lady and several children sounded, and his heart was soft, he really looked like a lady.

The letters he wrote were very simple, all about the situation in the neighborhood and the problem of the sand content of the soil.

In the letter to the prince, he also asked for seeds for fruit saplings and soybeans and watermelons.

I remember that he had read a travelogue that once introduced this kind of land, saying that it was most suitable to grow fruit trees and soybeans and watermelons.

Of course, there is also food, the situation here seems to be very serious, and it is still necessary to send food over.

He also said in the letter that he speculated about the county magistrate, I am afraid that he is a corrupt official, a corrupt official who oppresses the people and does nothing.

Zero San left quietly, climbed over the mountain with light skills, found the horses, and sent the letter all the way to the capital.

After the prince received the letter, he went directly to the palace without stopping.

The emperor read the letter and immediately made arrangements, "Dispatch grain, collect fruit trees and watermelon and soybean seeds." ”

"But, father, we can't help but prepare for this year's grain production, and last year's grain is almost used, should we buy it from the south?"

At this time, no matter how the capital suppressed, the price of grain in various places has risen, and a lot of silver taels and grain have been used for disaster relief along the way.

A lot of money has already been used up in the treasury, and if you take out some of it, I am afraid that the treasury will be tight.

The emperor glared at him, this is to ask him to gather the ministers to plan together!

"Alright, I'll let everyone figure it out!"

Soon, the emperor said this issue in the court, and many people were discussing it.

But it is nothing more than those few methods, the provinces and the imperial court are clothed and fed, and they are transferred from the military department......

Hearing that he was transferred from the military department, the fourth prince almost blew his beard and glared, what about after the transfer? Let the soldiers tighten their belts? Why?

As a result, the military generals and other civil officials and strategists of the Four Princes' faction began to insist on their own words and quarreled constantly.

Chu Hou stood in front and didn't say a word, he rarely participated in the affairs of the imperial court now, unlike the time of the third prince.

At that time, he didn't want to participate, but now he recognizes the talents of the crown prince and the four princes, and many of them have been thought of, and his son is getting better little by little, and sometimes he wants to quit his hometown and quit, but the emperor and the prince are benevolent and disagree.

The prince was troubled by the noise, and quietly came to Chu Hou's side, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, I don't know what you think?" ”

At the age of Chu Hou, he has no idea about being promoted and making a fortune, and he has no way to be promoted, and if he is promoted again, he will rebel.

I don't value rewards either, what does the Hou Mansion have?

Chu Hou glanced up at him and saw that he really wanted to ask, "Why don't you try fundraising?" There are so many officials, so many rich businessmen, and it is enough for a family to donate points to feed a county seat. ”

The prince looked at Chu Hou in disbelief, he really thought, but this idea is good.

The prince touched his chin and thought about it, these officials must have something in their hands, the water is clear, there is no fish, there must be positive and negative, there are some things that are inevitable.

Seeing that the quarrel was almost over, the fourth child was like a rooster who had won a battle.

The prince spoke slowly, "Actually, this prince has a way!" ”

Since Chu Hou didn't want this skill, he accepted it.

The father looked at him in surprise, and saw him standing next to Chu Hou, who half-squinted his eyes and looked down at his feet.

I thought a little bit in my heart, "What is the emperor's good way?" Tell me about it? ”

"Collect donations, collect donations among officials, collect donations among wealthy businessmen!"

After speaking, I instantly saw that the hall was quiet, and no one was willing to answer, let them raise donations? How much is appropriate? If I donate too much, what should I do with the source of the silver? If the donation is less, what should the emperor and the crown prince do if they are not happy?

The emperor smiled in his eyes and said as if he had a headache, "Hey, it's a good idea, but no one is willing to take the initiative to donate, what should I do?" ”

At this time, he hurriedly said, "The minister is willing to donate, but the minister doesn't have any silver taels, and he may donate less!" ”

"The minister is too, and the minister is willing to donate."

Looking at the people who expressed their stance one by one, the emperor was finally satisfied.

The prince who was standing at the end looked at the warm atmosphere, quietly approached the prince, whispered a few words, and saw the prince and Chu Hou look at him unexpectedly after speaking.

The prince returned to his original position, and the prince looked at Chu Hou, who nodded at him.

The prince thought that this matter was stable, so he raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way!" ”

The emperor was very satisfied with the crown prince today, nodded first with a smile, and motioned for him to continue.

"Erchen thinks that a merit monument can be established on ** street, whether it is a rich businessman or an official, as long as he donates a lot, he can be ranked, of course, the ranking of officials and wealthy businessmen is separated."

"In this way, the people will remember the deeds of these people and look up to them every day."

The needles in the palace can be heard, at the age of these people, this position, gold and silver treasure positions are secondary, the most important is fame, if it can be remembered by more people after death, it will not be in vain to live a lifetime.

At this moment, not only the officials were moved, but even the four princes were also moved.

The fourth prince said, "Prince, I don't know if the royal family can donate?" ”

The prince gave him a blank look, what do you think?

"The royal can't be on the list, but you can donate!"

"Oh!"

The four princes were full of pity.

At this time, Chu Hou spoke, "The Hou Mansion donated 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

"The minister donated 8,000 taels of silver!"

"The minister donated 5,000 taels of silver!"

……

One by one, the courtiers present began to report the number of donations.

Naturally, someone began to count.

The minister's donation totaled 120,000 taels of silver, and the wealthy businessman would not take the initiative to donate until he was posted on the emperor's list.
