Xi Hongxuan shivered and vomited, his face was terrifyingly white. Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Jin hurriedly waded into the water to stop him. Xiao Chiye released his hand and watched Xi Hongxuan being carried onto the sedan chair. It was still raining, and officials big and small were crying, chasing Li Jianheng's sedan chair, and swarming to the palace gate.
Pan Xiangjie's shoes were all gone, the old man was holding his robe, panting, and he didn't forget to cry "Emperor". The people around were all the same, but Hai Liangyi remained dignified and followed the sedan chair all the way back to the palace.
The imperial physicians who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly greeted him, and they continued to run into the palace in a chaotic manner. Mu Rusu came to pick him up, and when he saw Li Jianheng covered in blood, tears fell.
The queen mother was helped out by Hua Xiangyi, and said to Han Cheng in a bad tone: "You are in a hurry, why do you ask a group of elders to follow along? They are all elderly people, and it is raining. !"
Jin Yiwei knelt down with a bang, and Han Cheng said, "Wei Chen deserves ten thousand deaths."
"Hurry up and have someone prepare soup and clothes," the queen mother said to the ministers. "Aijia is very moved to see your sincerity and loyalty. Now that the emperor has returned to the palace, you can't be in a hurry at this time. It's so cold, everyone. All go to the side hall to take shelter from the wind, drink hot soup, and don't get sick at this juncture."
The ministers bowed their heads in thanks.
The empress dowager said again: "Yuan Fu came in to talk with the cabinet and the adults of various ministries."
* * *
When Cen Yu was away, he stayed on Donglong Street, and followed Xiao Chiye to clear the official road. Yu Xiao, who was of low rank again, followed behind, holding the robe for Cen Yu.
Xiao Chiye's head and face were covered in water, and the cold wind made everyone around him tremble, but he was unaffected. He was just digging people, and he lifted the nearly 100 jins of heavy objects alone. At this moment, he wrapped the tiger's mouth with a handkerchief, and his face was very ugly.
"The people who live in the low-lying areas are poor people. It's not easy to live in a house built of broken wood. Now it sounds like it's going to be demolished. Nine times out of ten, I don't agree." He got up and tucked it into his waist, saying, "Only Donglong Street is flooded today. That's because Donglong Street is close to the Kailing River. If the rain doesn't stop, the Governor will flood other streets tomorrow."
"If the imperial court is willing to subsidize five taels of silver to the poor people who demolished their houses, they are all willing." Tantai Hu Banshen Mu said, "It's just to have a place to live, as long as they are willing to subsidize the money, it's not a problem. I feel that it is the big mansions who are hindering the dredging. All of those mansions are illegally expanded, and there are many private fights for a few inches of space. Silver, who is willing to pierce through a good-looking house? No one should knock on the door!"
"I'm afraid it's impossible to negotiate subsidies," Cen Yu has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he is very clear about the doorway inside, and said, "The Ministry of Household is willing to take money out to help the victims. If you have to calculate it separately, and each family will subsidize five taels of silver, they will definitely not agree."
"Sir, don't blame me for being a rude and rude speech, why are you still thinking about money at this juncture!" Tantaihu's chest heaved, "As soon as the water rises, when people die, there may be a disease! It's useless to keep the money at that time!"
"Brother Tiger, don't be in a hurry," Yu Xiaozai raised his hand to reassure everyone, and said, "You don't know about this account, and the Ministry of Household also has difficulties with the Ministry of Households. They don't really care about this money. Things are done beautifully, their hearts are at ease, and their faces are bright, why not do it? But why are they unwilling to do it, just because they are shy! The money is now available for emergencies, and it will be a while later. When spring ploughing in various places, there was no harvest in the areas affected by the disaster last year. The local newspapers reported that the Ministry of households should consider allocating money to the localities, so that the local government offices or government officials in the affected areas could use the money to buy seeds in the harvest areas of neighboring provinces. This is a big problem for hundreds of thousands of people to eat, so if you look at the money in the treasury now, how dare they easily move it? Moreover, since it is an illegal expansion, the matter of occupying the official ditch is really investigated, and it should be punished. How can we give them money instead of punishing them? If we don't clarify this matter, we will impeach them from the Ministry of Households later, so it will be difficult for everyone."
No matter how calm Yu Xiao has the ability to make people calm, as soon as his words with a slight accent come out, no matter how big things are, he can wait. He was telling the truth, not to favor anyone, but the question was just that.
Local spring farming and planting are directly related to all the trends of this year's Great Week. The military rations of the two major frontiers depend on the grain harvests of the thirteen cities of Juexi and the front line of Hezhou, so no one dares to be sloppy. This is the number one priority in the world.
How to do
Forced demolition will certainly arouse public anger. Half of the people in the banned army are now military households in Qidu, and not many, but not many, live on Donglong Street. Hai Liangyi handed this matter over to the Imperial Army, but actually to Xiao Chiye, because once this matter is handed over to the Eighth Battalion, there is no compromise. Han Jin will directly ask people to push it down, but there are hidden dangers. But it can't be ignored.
This is for Xiao Chiye to find a way.
Xiao Chiye wrapped his mouth tightly around the tiger's mouth and was about to speak, when he saw someone walking in the rain.
Shen Zechuan cupped their hands at them and said, "I guess you are here, how is Guangou's progress now?"
"It's hard to do," Cen Yu sighed, "it's hard to dismantle."
"In the final analysis, the difficulty of the Ministry of Household is that it is impossible to figure out the cost of spring ploughing." Shen Zechuan's face was calm, but his cheeks were a little red. He looked at the rain and said, "This account can actually be estimated, I haven't seen it before. Jinyiwei's archives have a lot of experience on this. If the Governor does not dislike it, listen to me?"
Xiao Chiye stared at him and said, "Zhenfu please speak."
Shen Zechuan thought for a while, and said, "Last year, when the new emperor ascended the throne, various places were granted amnesty, and Juexi was exempted from 30% of the tax and silver. Last year was a bumper year for them. Except for Huaizhou and Zhongbodun, which reported the disaster, there was no problem. Governor, Dunzhou is short of food this year, and the government office must go to the city where the warehouse is full to buy grain. The heavy snow at the beginning of the year and the heavy snow in Zhongbo weighed down the house. Didn't the prince set aside 40,000 taels of the army's salary from the Northern Iron Cavalry this year as a cash flow relief for the city? This love can be repaid in Ibaraki now. Please ask your son to send a letter to Zhou Gui, the state capital of Ibaraki, and let him sell the grain to Dunzhou at a discount of 40,000 taels this year. In this way, the Ministry of Household can be in Ibaraki this year. The money saved on the grant will be used for the current housing demolition subsidy.”
Yu Xiao thought about it again, and said, "But the matter of occupying the Guangou is also a crime if it is investigated. The Ministry of Household can't do it, right?"
"According to the law, the matter of occupying Guangou is indeed punishable, but at special times, it must be treated specially. You can't take Chen Xiangyin and bring it in with a rigid set." Shen Zechuan paused slightly, "The court can't see the disaster victims, It is a kind of kindness to make up this money, and it is a matter of great grace. It is most suitable for Master Cen to discuss this matter, but the Ministry of Household is not hard-hearted. As long as it is correct, the account is clear, and the money is sufficient, they will definitely start to deal with it immediately. "
The inspection is imminent, and the inspection is related to the promotion of personnel in various departments. Everyone is willing to take "excellent". As long as it is reasonable, the inspection is definitely willing to do it.
"Let's talk about Izhou again," Shen Zechuan looked at Xiao Chiye, "Zhongbo is going to build the old city this year, although I don't know which adults will be sent to go there, but it will cost a lot of money to hire people. For the love of Ibaraki, when the old city is built, the manpower cost can be counted on the people who have been demolished today, and they will allocate manpower to each of them to go to Ibaraki for labor and be escorted by the forbidden army. It takes a few months. Enough is enough, it can be regarded as a punishment for swallowing up the official ditch. The five taels of silver are not delayed or owed, and the person who pays it is relieved, and the person who takes it is also relieved. "
Not only that, but Izuku has changed from owed Libei to a relationship of mutual help and mutual assistance. As long as Zhou Gui is not a fool, he should understand that this is an opportunity to make friends.
As soon as Shen Zechuan finished speaking, Yu Xiaozai shook off his robe and put it on Cen Yu.
Cen Yu was about to do it right away, he patted Shen Zechuan on the shoulder before stepping forward, and said, "Sir Zhenfu, time is pressing at this moment, I won't say much more, after this game is over, I, Cen Xunyi, will prepare some Philippine drinks in the cold house. , welcome to come!"
He put on the bamboo hat and left with Yu Xiaozai.
"Is the palace okay?" Xiao Chiye shook Shen Zechuan's wrist.
Tantai Tiger hesitated, but still didn't say anything.
Shen Zechuan hooked the card from his waist with his backhand, looked at it for a moment, and said, "The Queen Mother called all ministers to prepare for settlement, and it's good that you are not among them. Guangou should be arranged quickly, there are some scenes just now, but you must understand that if you still If you can't get through, I'll blame you."
The two of them stood here, Xiao Chiye couldn't touch him again, but seeing that he was slightly sick from the rain, he said, "Elder Ge told you to look at the palace, go back and sit in the office for a drink. Hot tea, just stare at the door."
"That's Han Cheng's business," Shen Zechuan turned his head, "...Master is in Zhaosin Temple, and I'm worried too. It's not too late, you can go to work first, I have to follow the people from the Ministry of Housing and handle the relief work for the victims in the back. ."
What else did Xiao Chiye want to say, that Han Jin had already called him with his shoes. He had to let go, took a few steps back, turned around and ran away with Tantai Hu and Chen Yang.
Shen Zechuan had a splitting headache, sobered up a bit in the rain, turned around to greet Ge Qingqing, and led people down to the low-lying place.
It's not easy to clear the official channel, the work is dirty and tiring. The people in the household department also changed their shoes and robes when they got into the water, and those with jobs all huddled under the shed, not even wanting to touch the water. Anyway, this is an errand that Hai Liangyi handed over to the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Guard, and they are here to help.
When Shen Zechuan arrived, there were not enough people to count to ten fingers. He knew that the people under the household who were used to messing around were the most oily, and they couldn't help them.
Ge Qingqing asked, "It's going to be dark today, how come there are only so many people?"
The official who bowed his head and greeted Shen Zechuan said, "I can't hold back, haven't the guards in front have not finished digging? When they have dug this night, they will have time to recruit people tomorrow morning. Sir, sit down, oh, it's drenching! Hurry up! Have a cup of hot tea, warm up anyway, don't freeze yourself!"
Shen Zechuan didn't move, looked at the shed, and said with a smile, "The shed from my own? It's well built."
The official held the tea and smiled happily: "No, I'm busy at the moment, how can anyone care about us? I can only cover myself..."
His voice became weaker, because Jin Yiwei all stood behind Shen Zechuan, looking at him, no one laughed.
Shen Zechuan was fine, he took a sip of tea.
The official flattered: "This is Hezhou's good tea, specially made for adults—"
Shen Zechuan turned his hand and slapped him in the face, and the official was startled and shouted and stepped back. Shen Zechuan tapped the bottom of the cup with his fingertips and poured out all the tea leaves. There was still that smiling face on his face, and it became more and more beautiful in this shower.
"Tea," Shen Zechuan said warmly, "I respect you, why didn't you drink it?"
The official hurriedly plucked the tea leaves on his face and said, "Too, too urgent..."
"Ye Wang's name, don't be in a hurry." Shen Zechuan threw the teacup and said, "Yuanfu strictly ordered Jinyiwei to supervise the relief, and the order to kill on the spot is still not tight enough to hang around the neck. I poured this tea on the ground, you You must drink it. Since you can't catch it while standing, why don't I give you a ride, and you go downstairs and give me a drink."
The official hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, how can you do this, my lord! After all, a lowly post is a court official of the sixth rank, how can you say that you will be executed..."
"There are no people below the fourth rank that we have taken from the prison!" Ge Qingqing lifted his robe and kicked him into the water, "The Zhenfu tells you to drink, you have to drink it. You drink it alive or not! Dead drinking?"
The official rolled into the water and saw Shen Zechuan holding the knife and looking at himself, he immediately held the water in his hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and cried, "I drink, I drink!"
The people around who were still standing and sitting in various poses and gags all stood quietly, leaning on the side.
Shen Zechuan glanced at them and said, "Can this errand be done immediately?"
Everyone said in unison, "It's all up to Lord Zhenfu's mission."
"I'm an inspector, how can I know the way?" Shen Zechuan took out the blue handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to be a messenger, we Jinyiwei just follow you. Are you going?"
Who dares to stay!
The official trembling also wanted to come up, Shen Zechuan glanced at him, he retreated again, and stammered, "Sir, sir..."
"This street," Shen Zechuan said comfortably before leaving, "Come up after drinking."
The sky was completely dark, and the rain did not stop. No matter how majestic Jin Yiwei is, he will be soaked in water with a sour smell. When Shen Zechuan got up, he felt that the world was spinning. He supported the board of the sub-official ditch and stabilized for a moment. He was busy on the left and right, and no one noticed.
Only Ge Qingqing hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be in a hurry, just take a break for a while!"
Shen Zechuan smiled reluctantly, feeling that he couldn't speak, the nauseating taste had already reached his throat. He propped up on the board and touched the water bag from under the half-collapsed hut.
There was a sudden weight on his back, and Shen Zechuan's head was covered. He was still squatting, the front cover was suddenly lifted again, Xiao Chiye gasped, and slammed in, stuffed him with the still hot food box, and got out again the next moment, stepping out.
Shen Zechuan pushed aside the cloak that covered his head, and the man who had walked a few steps went back the same way, stepped on the collapsed debris, squatted down and sandwiched Shen Zechuan's face, kissed Shen Zechuan heavily, and rubbed Shen Zechuan hard after the kiss. cheeks.
The rain was falling, Xiao Chiye was panting so badly, he looked at Shen Zechuan in the dark for a moment, didn't say anything, turned around and ran away. He flipped out vigorously, and dashed into the alley as he put on the dirty robe hanging in his arms again.
If not for time.
Xiao Chiye pulled his collar, walked over the ruins, stepped on the filth and rushed towards the forbidden army, scolding secretly—
damn it!
