Chapter 423 Always be one step ahead of Song Xiang
Chapter 423 Song Xiang is always taken first
As the weather gets colder, there are news that heavy snow will crush the houses, especially in the villages living along the mountains, many of which have been crushed, dead and homeless.
The most serious thing is that there are still avalanches in Henan, and the official roads are blocked, and fast horses and Feixins are constantly being sent to the palace. At the same time, many refugees have also flocked to Beijing to seek asylum.
As the disasters became more and more frequent, the court had to set up rescue stations in many places, and sent local resident officers and soldiers to shovel snow access and rescue the affected people.
Hearing the heavy snowstorm everywhere, Emperor Chu's face looked very bad, saying that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, but excessive snow will lead to disaster.
No matter which emperor, they don’t like to hear words like disasters. They are also afraid that the people will complain, the people will be in trouble, and they are afraid that they will say that they are not worthy of their position.
Of course, except for the foolish monarch, the foolish monarch can eliminate all sounds to protect his body.
But Emperor Chu is not. He is ambitious to create a prosperous era. He still has many plans yet to be implemented, so he doesn't want to hear anything that is not worthy of virtue.
"If the disaster is distributed, the imperial envoy is appointed. Where can I not be treated properly? I dare to embezzle the disaster funds and relief grains and kill them." Emperor Chu looked coldly at the several loyal ministers under his seat.
Song Zhiyuan: "I wonder which imperial envoy the emperor wants to ask?"
Is the imperial envoy? If you do it well, you will be a meritorious person. If you don’t do it well, you will lose your life. Oh, it’s not that the emperor wants to behead him, but that the local officials may kill you unless you are willing to join forces.
"Jing'an Crown Prince Lu Ming."
Everyone was stunned. Is Jing'an waiting for the prince? I heard that he was also a young talent, loyal, brave and decisive, and hated evil, but he lost an arm in a battle. After that, he was depressed for a while, and Xian Xiao saw him appear.
But now, do you want to be an imperial envoy?
Is the emperor planning to reuse him, one-armed?
"Your Majesty Lu's arm will do something unfavorable?" Fan Xiang said hesitantly.
Emperor Chu glanced over and said, "So what if you have one arm? It is better than many people. I can use it. I believe in his ability. Is it because Fan Xiang is questioning my vision?"
Fan Xiang was shocked and quickly knelt down and apologized: "The old minister dare not."
Emperor Chu did not scream for a moment, and only after a few breaths said, "Fan Xiang is calm. I am also concerned about the people and do not blame the prime minister."
Fan Xiang stood up tremblingly and said, "The emperor has ruined the old minister."
Emperor Chu did not chase him, but only stared at Lord Qian, the Minister of Revenue, and said, "Qian Aiqing, the disaster payment must be in place as soon as possible."
"Emperor, the national treasury is now empty, heavy snow is pressing down on the border, the military pay of the Ministry of War is tight, and the baggage is replaced. This..." Lord Qian continued to shout poverty as always.
Emperor Chu had a headache and said, "I don't listen. As long as I see the disaster money being transferred quickly, the people who are affected can spend the winter safely. Do you understand?"
Lord Qian: “…”
He didn't want to understand, he only knew that his wallet would be loose, and that not much money inside would be lost like flowing water.
And the emperor, are you so willful, wanting to be a foolish monarch? You still don’t listen!
Lord Qian was about to defend his money bag to the death, but Emperor Chu spoke again: "Give up 100,000 taels from my private treasury, and the rest of the Ministry of Revenue will be replenished."
Ouch, this is OK.
Lord Qian immediately knelt down and shouted long live.
Fan Xianggang was about to follow and said that Song Xiang said at this time: "Emperor, my mansion has prepared to set up a porridge shed to help the victims at any time. I am willing to donate 10,000 taels of money to express my wishes to the people."
Fan Xiang: "..."
Damn, I was taken first by Song Xiang again!
