Chu Master Weiming, who heard the voice, turned around and looked at Shuo Ling. He had no choice but to suppress his inner anger for the time being and said to him. "It's just a few extra days of walking. Of course, it's Shuohou who's doing the hard work."
"Where are the food and disaster relief funds?" Shuoling asked, changing the subject.
Master Chu Weiming then replied, "Fifty dan of food and grass, and 1,000 taels of disaster relief money."
"What? The food and grass are only fifty dan? The disaster relief money is only one thousand taels?" Xiao Mu on the side couldn't help being surprised after hearing this.
At this time, Master Chu Weiming said again, "Recently, Xiling has a tendency to invade the army. For the sake of safety, food and grass will be sent to the army first. As for the disaster money, my father gave me so much."
"Okay, I understand. Where is the thing?" Shuo Ling nodded and said after hearing this.
Master Chu Weiming said at this time, "Everything has been transported to the foot of the mountain. Would you like Shuohou to go and take inventory?"
"No, Mo Li, the third prince is probably tired after a bumpy journey. Take him to rest!" Shuo Ling said at this time, and then ordered Mo Li.
After Mo Li heard this, he walked to Chu Master Wei Ming and said, "Third Prince, please, the room is ready."
Then make a gesture of please!
Master Chu Weiming glanced at Shuo Ling at this time and followed Mo Li over.
"Master Hou, this..." Xiao Mu on the side asked Shuoling at this time.
Shuo Ling glanced at Chu Master Wei Ming's departure direction at this time, then returned to Xiao Mu, "Let's go down the mountain and take a look."
With that said, Shuo Ling walked out of the yard.
As Chu Shi Weiming said, the food and grass were only fifty dan, and the official silver willow was only one thousand taels.
One thousand taels, which is not even enough to repair the dam, how to resettle these victims, and these fifty stones of food and grass are not enough to build the capital to feed so many victims for a long time.
At this time, Mo Li settled down with Chu Master Wei Ming and went down the mountain.
"Master Hou, what should we do now?" Seeing only these things, Li Li couldn't help but walk up to Shuo Ling and asked.
Unexpectedly, Chu Shi Youtian would do this, so that he could stop the court officials from talking, and would not let him become a king who didn't care about the lives of his people.
I saw Shuo Ling closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, and then said to Mo Li, "Now go ahead and change the two meals of porridge a day to one!"
"Master Hou, this..." At this moment, Mo Li couldn't help but look worried after hearing this.
At this time, Shuo Ling interrupted and said, "Do this first and think of a solution later!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Mo Li nodded, then turned around and left, giving instructions.
As soon as the news spread, the people in Jiandu couldn't help but explode.
Some people actually started discussing it privately.
"Why do we have to reduce the number of times we give soup to one meal? I didn't expect that after the plague is over, we will still be hungry."
"Let me tell you, this Shuohou is not a good official. Seeing that our place is getting better, he also wants to deduct money from it, just like the previous prefect."
"Now that our home is gone and we are still hungry, we might as well just die."
"Sure enough, the world is as black as crows. I didn't expect that people from the imperial city are like this too."
"Stop talking. I heard that this Shuohou kills people without blinking an eye. If he listens to his words, it will be over."
"I'm not afraid. He has the ability to deduct the things the emperor gives us, and he's afraid that others won't be able to say otherwise."
"Stop talking, stop talking, then the follower next to the Marquis is here."
Mo Li heard what these victims said, but he could only pretend not to hear it. He couldn't be allowed to draw his sword and scare these people, saying that their Marquis was doing this just to think about the future. If you did it in front of these refugees, they wouldn't believe it if you told it.
In an instant, the people of the capital city burst into mourning.
Xu Qing, who was in the crowd, couldn't help frowning after hearing this. This Shuohou had come to him before. From the conversation, he felt that it was not what the people said, but now he really only has one meal of porridge every day. Could it be that What happened
Thinking like this, Xu Qing felt that he was in a hurry here and couldn't solve any problems with random thoughts, so he decided to go to Shuoling's residence to find out what happened.
At this time, Qiao Shu had just made some pastries from the kitchen and came out. When she saw someone walking into the yard and looking around, Qiao Shu stopped and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Girl, I am Li Zheng from Qianxi Village, Jiandu. I am here to see Master Shuohou." Xu Qing asked at this time. When he saw Qiao Shu, he walked up to Qiao Shu with a smile and explained his purpose.
At this time, Qiao Shu looked up and down at the ragged Xu Qing in front of her. He was quite handsome, but he was dressed like this...
Qiao Shu smiled slightly and said, "It turns out it's Li Zheng. The Marquis went out early in the morning and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. Otherwise, if you have anything to say to me, I will convey it to Li Zheng when the Marquis comes back." ?”
"Thank you for your kindness, miss. I think it's best to discuss this matter in front of the Marquis." Xu Qing looked a little embarrassed and then said
At this time, Qiao Shu said with a smile, "If it's not convenient to talk about it, it's not too late to wait until the Marquis comes back."
"Um... girl, has the princess gone out?" Xu Qing asked again at this time.
After hearing this, Qiao Shu couldn't help but be stunned. Yang Zijing really knew everyone.
Seeing that Qiao Shu was silent, Xu Qing asked again, "Girl, girl."
"Ah... Princess, Princess, she didn't go out, her house is over there." Qiao Shu said after she came to her senses.
Then he pointed to Yang Zijin's house.
After hearing this, Xu Qing quickly said to Qiao Shu, "Thank you, girl."
With that said, he walked towards the house pointed by Qiao Shu.
Qiao Shu watched Xu Qing walking towards Yang Zijin's residence and couldn't help but disdainfully said in her heart that Yang Zijin really grew up in a bad place and dared to make friends with all kinds of people.
With this in mind, I went back to learn how to make pastries.
This is the third time she has made it. Although it doesn't look very good, the taste is much better than the previous two times.
I believe it will get better if she does it a few more times. Then she can put the poison into the pastry and ask the maid next to Yang Zijin to deliver it.
As long as Yang Zijin eats it, there will be no more Yang Zijin in this world.
Thinking of this, Qiao Shu couldn't help but reveal an evil smile, and quickly walked into the kitchen again.
At this time, Xu Qing walked to Yang Zijin's door and knocked gently on the door.
At this time, Yang Zijing in the house was thinking that now that the plague was under control and the house was under Shuoling's management, it was repaired and he thought it wouldn't take long before he could return to the imperial city.
Yang Zijing, who was just thinking, heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"Princess Princess, it's me, Xu Qing." At this time, Xu Qing replied outside the door.
Hearing Xu Qing's voice, Yang Zijin frowned. Xu Qing came here to look for her. Maybe there was something important. Thinking of this, Yang Zijin quickly got up, walked to the door, opened the door, and then said, " Why does Li Zheng have time to come here? Could something have happened?"
"I have something to ask the princess." Xu Qing nodded as he spoke.
It seemed as she guessed, so Yang Zijin said, "Come in and talk about it."
After saying that, Yang Zijin turned around and sat on the chair next to Yang's table.
Hearing what Yang Zijin said, Xu Qing couldn't help but stand at the door and twitch.
"What's wrong? Don't come in yet." At this time, Yang Zijin turned his head and saw Xu Qing still standing outside the door, and couldn't help but say again.
At this time, Xu Qing had no choice but to say, "Princess, I think it's more convenient to talk outside."
Hearing what Xu Qing said, Yang Zijin couldn't help but slap her head. She had forgotten that in ancient times, men in a woman's boudoir were not allowed to enter the woman's room casually.
Only people like Shuo Ling are excluded.
In this case, there was no need to embarrass Xu Qing. At this time, Yang Zijin stood up and walked out the door. When he came to Xu Qing's side, he said to him, "Let's talk outside."
"Yes, Princess." Xu Qing lowered his head and responded, then followed Yang Zijing to the stone table in the courtyard.
At this time Yang Zijin said to him. "You're welcome, Li Zheng, sit down."
Yang Zijin sat down as he spoke.
"Thank you, Princess." Xu Qing said and sat down opposite Yang Zijin.
Yang Zijing asked at this time, "What does Li Zheng want from me?"
"That's it, Princess. The porridge shack set up outside in the past two days has been reduced to one meal a day. Does the Princess know about this?" Xu Qing said to Yang Zijin at this time.
After hearing this, Yang Zijing looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "You mean to give me porridge every day now?"
"Originally, two meals could barely fill my stomach, but now one meal is really hard to finish. And some people started to say that like the prefect, the Marquis had embezzled the things provided by the imperial court for disaster relief." Xu Qing said to Yang again at this time. Zi Jin said.
After hearing this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but stood up, "How is it possible? Who is such a person? Mr. Shuohou cannot be such a person."
"I have talked with Mr. Marquis before, and Mr. Marquis is definitely not what people say outside, so I came here to find the princess to ask what happened." At this time, Xu Qing continued.
At this time, Yang Zijing sat down and said, "Don't be anxious, Li Zheng. Although I don't know about this matter, it will definitely not be what it is said outside. When Shuo Hou comes back, I will go find out what happened and then give it to Li Zheng." reply."
"Thank you so much, Princess." Xu Qing stood up and saluted Yang Zijing.
Yang Zijin then said, "You are so polite."
"Princess Princess, that's why I came here. I'll go back and appease those people first." Xu Qing said again at this time.
Yang Zijin nodded, and then Xu Qing left!
After Xu Qing left, Yang Zijin couldn't help but wonder why Shuoling suddenly reduced the number of times he gave porridge. Could it be that there was not enough food and grass? But this time when Master Chu Weiming came, wasn't he just to escort food and disaster relief funds
Moreover, Master Chu Weiming came with great fanfare, and the victims along the way saw it.
But why is it reduced at this juncture
People's accusations of corruption are not unfounded.
In the past, when the food and grass did not arrive, they still provided porridge twice a day. Now that the food and grass have arrived, it has decreased. It is really unreasonable!
After thinking about it, Yang Zijin felt that the problem still occurred with food and grass.
Thinking of this, Yang Zijin decided to ask Chu Shiweiming how much grain, grass and official silver he had brought.
So he got up and walked to the door of Master Chu Weiming's room and knocked on the door.
At this time, Master Chu Weiming was sleeping in the house. When he heard the sound, Master Chu Weiming was woken up. He opened his eyes and sat up and asked, "Who is outside? Disturbing my prince's sleep."
"It's me!" Yang Ziqin replied after hearing this.
