As soon as the two of them sat down, Leng Yu couldn't wait to say:

"I have just returned from the household department, and according to Lord Zhang's reply, there are 8.5 million taels of cash available in the treasury, and I think we can use the silver from the treasury to resettle these victims."

Hearing this, Liu Dechang's brows tightened,

"The resettlement of these victims is not a small number, now that the emperor is seriously ill, this decision, we can't just make it, in case the emperor blames him, you and I can't afford this crime."

"The emperor has decreed that I have full authority to decide all matters in the court, and besides, for the sake of these affected people, what is wrong with opening a warehouse and releasing silver? Take 10,000 steps back and say, if my father is really to blame, I will bear it alone. ”

"This is not something you can afford alone, the silver of the treasury is easily not allowed to be used, in case of emergency, even when the army is urgently needed to march and fight, only a very small part of it is dared to be used, now there are so many disaster victims, how do you resettle, if you rebuild their homes, it is not a small amount!"

Leng Yu's eyebrows frowned, and after a while, he said seriously:

"There are a large number of victims this time, if they are not resettled in time, it will inevitably cause turmoil, if we want to resettle them reasonably, we have no other way but to use the deposit silver in the treasury, General Liu can rest assured, all the consequences will be borne by me alone, and will not affect others."

After saying this, he turned his head with a solemn face, "Xiao Lingzi, call Ah Li." ”

"Yes......"

After Xiao Lingzi received the order, he quickly walked towards the outside of the main hall.

Liu Dechang sighed there, shook his head and explained,

"I've lived to this age, and I'm not afraid of being affected, I just think that it's better to wait for the emperor to wake up and make a decision about the opening of the treasury to take money to help the victims, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Leng Yu took a sip of tea, and the moment he put down the teacup, he looked up at Liu Dechang,

"General Liu, you don't know, Lan'er said, the emperor's body, at least half a year before it can return to normal, these victims can't wait, we can't afford to wait, now their daily food and drink expenses have doubled than we expected, the only way is to settle them as soon as possible, this matter, I will call the shots, if there is any problem in the future, I will bear it alone."

Seeing that he was serious, Liu Dechang did not refute again, and he also knew that if he wanted to properly resettle these victims, there was no other way but to take out the silver in the treasury first.

After a while, Xiao Lingzi came with Ah Li, and after saluting, Ah Li replied directly:

"Lord, at your command, I have roughly calculated that to settle these more than 30,000 disaster victims, with a family as a unit, an average of three people to build a house, you need to build 11,000 houses, according to your proposal to build a house together, although you can save the materials of a wall, each one also needs fifteen taels of silver, then it will take 165,000 taels to build a house alone."

"Well, what about the cost of water control and renovating the land?"

"There are about 120,000 acres of land affected in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the cost of ploughing the land is about 35,000 taels, and the cost of water control needs to be measured locally to know, I conservatively estimated that the construction of water conservancy, the repair of rivers and embankments, and the cost of eating and drinking on the road of these people, calculated in three months, also need at least 180,000 taels, and each person will give five taels of silver for daily expenses, which requires 150,000 taels, and a total of 560,000 taels will be needed to resettle these victims. In addition, you need to take out 600,000 taels from the treasury to eat and wear the food and clothing of the officers and soldiers in the capital. ”

This number made Liu Dechang gasp,

"Need so much? According to what you said, this is almost one-tenth of the silver in the national treasury, which is not a small number! ”

"With only one-tenth of the treasury saved, these victims can be resettled, I think it's worth it, I'll go to prepare now, if possible, I will personally go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take it away."

With this decision, Leng Yu immediately decided to enter the palace, and he wanted to talk to Luo Lan first, so as not to worry about her.

When he came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

Although it was already evening, there were still no less than ten princesses kneeling here, led by Concubine Li and Concubine Li.

Seeing Leng Yu coming, Liu Xi hurriedly greeted him,

"Lord Yu, are you here?"

Leng Yu frowned and nodded, and asked in a low voice:

"What's going on?"

Liu Xi shook his head helplessly and sighed,

"They didn't say that Princess Yu wanted to harm the emperor, and she wanted to kneel here to die, asking for the emperor's life, and the old slave couldn't persuade her to go back, you see, what can I do?"

Leng Yu glanced at these people, among these people, except for Li Guifei and Li Guifei's eyes were firm, the rest of the people were looking around from time to time, from their expressions and movements, Leng Yu could see that they didn't want to kneel here all the time, or rather, they were attracted by Li Guifei.

So, he came to the crowd and said with a serious face:

"Why are you kneeling here?"

The dozen or so ladies looked up at her one after another, and Concubine Li was the first to say:

"We learned that the emperor was imprisoned here by Princess Yu, his life and death are unknown, and we don't feel at ease, so we want to go in and have a look, but Gonggong Liu won't let us in, we can't, so we can only kneel here and wait for ......"

Leng Yu's face sank, and he understood in his heart that it seemed that these women were deliberately looking for trouble.

So, he cleared his throat and said in a cold voice:

"The emperor is seriously ill, Princess Yu is treating the emperor, Gonggong Liu will not let you see it, it is reasonable, if you insist on kneeling here, then please, come here, arrange two hundred royal forest troops to guard here, whoever wants to go in, kill him."

Leaving this sentence, he frowned coldly, and said to Zhang Yuan:

"Zhang Yuan, Xiaotanzi, the two of you are guarding here, whoever dares to make trouble will not be spared."

Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi hurriedly clasped their fists and replied:

"My subordinates understand."

Leng Yu looked at these ladies again, and continued to say lukewarmly:

"Now this weather, say cold is not cold, say hot is not hot, but it may be a little cold at night, a few mothers to show their concern for the emperor, kneeling here is also due, but the emperor to wake up after seven days, you kneel here for seven days, it is really embarrassing for you, come on, prepare a few mats for a few mothers, and then prepare some hot tea to serve, by the way, there are many mosquitoes at night, prepare a few plates of incense......"

Before he could finish speaking, a lady stood up behind him,

"I've had back pain recently, and I can't kneel for a long time, a few mothers, I'll go back first."

Seeing that someone was the first to leave, the rest of them also got up one after another, and walked away without greeting.

Concubine Li looked at these women who had escaped from the battle, and wanted to stop, but because Leng Yu was in front of her, she could only hate her teeth.

When only Concubine Li and Concubine Li were left here, Leng Yu suddenly sneered,

"Xiao Lingzi, we still have something to do, so don't bother the two mothers to kneel here."

After speaking, he looked at Gonggong Liu again,

"Zhang Yuan and Xiaotanzi stay here, if there is anything, just call them, you don't have to do anything, just guard this door."
