Chapter 155(1/2)

Imperial City, Hall of Diligence.

"Yuan Qing said that Sidao gave all 200,000 taels of silver to the officials of Lin'an Prefecture and the soldiers in the front office of the Palace?"

Zhao Yun frowned at Yuan Fu, who was indignant below.

"It's true. Your Majesty cares about all the people in the world and takes out **** private equity for Jia Sidao to buy food for the affected people. However, Jia Thief is brave and does not want to repay the emperor's kindness. He dares to use this kind of silver to win people's hearts privately. It's really..."

Looking at Yuan Fu who was spitting everywhere, Li Shao, who was standing with his hand, quietly pulled Yuan Fu's sleeve with his hand, and when Yuan Fu turned around, he was Nunu's mouth to Zhao Yun, who was sitting upright on his head, who looked obviously abnormal.

Zhao Yun was too quiet when he heard this news, so quiet that it was a bit unreasonable.

You know, that was 200,000 taels of silver, and 200,000 taels of silver taken out from his private equity in the treasury. These silvers were all for him to support the three palaces and six courtyards. Jia Sidao gave them generously to the officials who had nothing to do on weekdays and were all wine bags. Except for being a little surprised at the beginning, Zhao Yun was too calm afterwards, and he did not have a look of anger after all.

This is obviously too abnormal, it seems...it seems like he has known this for a long time.

Thinking of this, Li Shao couldn't help but burst into pieces.

Look around, Qiao Xingjian, Li Zongmian, Li Mingfu, and Zheng Qingzhi all look like an old god, which is too abnormal. Zheng Qingzhi can explain this. Qiao Xingjian and Li Mingfu obviously shouldn't be like this.

"Hey, why didn't Yuan Qing say it? I'm listening."

Yuan Fu suddenly stopped, and Zhao Yun, who was obviously not interested in his mind, seemed to find out after a while, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to summon Jia Sidao to the palace to confront him and explain why he was so squandering the silver you gave him to buy food."

"Okay, companion Dong, go and summon Sidao to the palace to report."

Zhao Yun didn't even think about it and immediately responded.

He gave Jia Sidao 200,000 taels of silver, or in other words, he lent Jia Sidao the 200,000 taels of silver. Jia Sidao told him that he could deal with it with it, and he didn't know what to deal with it, so he also wanted to hear what Jia Sidao planned.

...

When Dong Songchen arrived at the South Gate, the soldiers in the front office of the Hall had already opened up outside the South Gate. Fortunately, there were not many people gathering outside the South Gate, only tens of thousands of people. Facing ten thousand soldiers in the front office of the Hall were wearing strong and holding sharp edges, no one was so stupid that he fought with the official family, but because of the crowding and trampling, some people were injured. The situation was better than Jia Sidao expected.

The soldiers in front of the palace shocked the refugees, and a group of officials from Lin'an Prefecture also quickly left the city. After leaving Jia Sidao, hundreds of trucks of food were left. All the refugees wanted was just a way to survive. Without seeing the food, how could the court's determination to rescue disasters and save people? So even if it might cause looting, Jia Sidao still chose to show off some of the food to appease the hearts of these refugees.

Fortunately, there are not many refugees outside Lin'an City now. There are also ten thousand soldiers in the front office of the palace. Otherwise, Jia Sidao would not dare to pull out the food that was not much in his hands directly from the city and expose them to the eyes of these refugees.

According to his plan, with the help of the soldiers in front of the hall, more than a thousand Lin'an Prefecture officials quickly divided the tens of thousands of refugees outside the south gate in an orderly manner, slowly gathered and gradually divided them, and finally gathered all refugees to the south gate for resettlement. In this way, it would be difficult to manage. After all, the news of the opening of the south gate will soon reach the other city gates. Those refugees who are still waiting to open the door will inevitably take the initiative to gather towards the south gate. In this way, it will obviously be much less work and more controllable.

Refugees are not scary, what is scary is uncontrolled refugees.

From the beginning, we have taken control and prevented refugees from gathering. Even millions of refugees, Jia Sidao was sure to settle them all and would not cause too much trouble.

Of course, the idea is good, and the specific implementation process depends on the officials of Lin'an Prefecture and the soldiers in the hall. With the increase of refugees, more than a thousand officials in Lin'an Prefecture are obviously not enough, and the soldiers in the hall are not enough. Therefore, when the number of refugees is not large, all these refugees must be settled. It is expected that there will definitely be more refugees coming from behind. By controlling batches, all the refugees can be controlled without causing chaos. This is Jia Sidao's plan.

That's why he left the city when he didn't have much food in his hands.

You can slowly find ways to get food, but refugees must first be orderly.

I don’t know what happened later, at least now it seems that everything is still in order. When the refugees saw more than a hundred trucks of food, they quickly calmed down. In addition, there were soldiers in front of the hall wearing strong and holding sharp-sharp guarding the food, they all waited honestly for the arrangements of the officials of Lin'an Prefecture.

After whispering to Dong Songchen for a while, Jia Sidao smiled coldly and greeted Yu Ci and others, got on the horse and followed Dong Songchen straight to the imperial city.

He had long known that he could not hide so much money, not to mention that he had no intention of hiding it. He just didn't expect that before the disaster relief began, Yuan Fu had already jumped out without any haste.

...

When Jia Sidao arrived at Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Yun had been waiting for a long time bored. Of course, on the one hand, he was mainly discussing disaster relief issues with Qiao Xingjian and others. Of course, there are countermeasures.

But obviously, all problems are only one word, money.

No matter how good the solution is, there is no matter how good the solution is, the flowers and moon in the water, and there is no meaning at all. With silver, you can buy food. With food, you can naturally save all the victims, otherwise you can only watch these victims starve to death outside Lin'an City.

If you want to enter the city, it is naturally impossible.

"I wonder if Lord Jia, the emperor bought the money for Lord Jia to provide disaster relief. I wonder how much grain did Lord Jia buy?"

As soon as Jia Sidao stood still, Yuan Fu sneered and attacked.

After looking at Zhao Yun, Jia Sidao clasped his fists and said, "I wonder if Lord Yuan, why did Lord Yuan know that the 200,000 taels of silver that the emperor gave to the subordinates was for buying grain?"

Yuan Fu was slightly stunned when he heard Jia Sidao's words.

"Haha, Lord Jia, the money in the private equity of the Supreme Treasury is all for His Majesty. The Supreme Treasury cares about the people. If you don't buy grain to help refugees outside the city, what's the use of giving these money to Lord Jia?

Li Shao said with a smile on the side.

"Can Lord Li tell the officials that Lin'an Mansion is now...well, what is the price of grain in Lin'an City?"

"This... I don't know." Li Shao was a little confused, but told the truth.

"Does Lord Yuan know?"

Jia Sidao didn't care and smiled and clasped his fists at Yuan Fu.

"What is the price of grain and what is the relationship between the emperor and the emperor using silver to provide disaster relief? Lord Jia, is it because he is guilty?" Yuan Fu seemed extremely dissatisfied with Jia Sidao's light attitude, and stared at Jia Sidao and shouted.

Such a yellow-mouthed child with a stinky and stinky mouth has risen in just a few months, and it seems that no one in the court can ignore it. Now he can compete with him in this court. How could Yuan Fu be willing to do this national affairs?

"Where does Lord Yuan start with this guilty statement?" Jia Sidao disliked. "It seems that Lord Yuan is also above the temple and rarely touches on the fireworks of this world. Well, the official told Lord Yuan that two months ago, the price of grain in Lin'an was one stone and two jin of money; one month ago, the price of grain was one stone and two jin of money; half a month ago, the price of grain was more than four jin of money per stone. Now, Lord Yuan can guess how many jin of money per stone is, and how many jin of money can you buy for 200,000 taels of silver."

Jia Si looked at Yuan Fu, who was stunned and smiled coldly.

"How could this be?" Whether Yuan Fu had any movement, Li Shao next to him had already exclaimed.

However, in one month, the food price still doubled.

"Haha, what's impossible? You guys naturally have good friends with merchants. Don't you know that, except for the lives of Lin'an City, all the remaining ones are valuable? Today, the price of grain in Lin'an City is six jin per stone, and many grain merchants still have no grain to sell. Can the two masters tell the officials how many stones of grain can be bought for this 200,000 taels of silver? Hehe."

Jia Sidao swept Zhao Yun, who was also shocked, and suddenly smiled inexplicably.

“Bold.”

Zhao Yun, who sat on the throne of the emperor, quickly reacted and shouted angrily.

"These unscrupulous merchants actually wanted to hoard food and make a fortune in the national crisis. It's really hateful, so they should be killed!"

At first, one tael of silver was exchanged for one tael of silver, but according to the price comparison after the Dafashi, one tael of silver could be exchanged for three to four taels of silver. Two hundred thousand taels of silver, only eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

If you buy 800,000 jin of grain at the current market price, you can only buy about 100,000 jin of grain. What can you do with the refugees who have more than 200,000 people outside the city? I am afraid that it can only be rations for three days. Moreover, obviously, there will be only 200,000 refugees this time, and more refugees will come.

Jia Sidao had already said so clearly. If Zhao Yun still didn't understand what was going on, then he could only say that he was a waste. However, obviously, Zhao Yun was not a waste.

"Have your majesty calm down!"

Seeing Zhao Yun furious, Qiao Xingjian and others bowed together and said.

"Not all merchants are making money in the national crisis. This time, Weichen relied on several huge merchants who were dedicated to the country to barely buy some food..."

"What Mr. Jia is talking about is that Zheng Da official?"

Li Mingfu, who had never interrupted, and had signed the affairs of the Privy Council, suddenly smiled strangely at this time and said.

"Hey, Lord Li actually knows you too?"

"Haha, I heard that the Zheng Daguanren not only gave Jia Xueshou food, but also had more bran bran. It is said that the Zheng Daguanren is still purchasing bran bran in large quantities. I wonder if Jia Xueshou can say, what is the use of bran bran...?"

Li Mingfu had a kind smile, very much like a rich man. However, his words made Jia Sidao's eyes narrow involuntarily.

He glanced at Qiao Xingjian standing next to Li Mingfu, looking down at him. Sure enough, none of these old things were easy to meet. He originally thought he could hide it for a while, but it seemed that he was too nervous. Zheng Mingxuan and others were too disturbed, which made some people who were interested in it.

"Bran bran is naturally used to eat it."

Jia Sidao looked at Li Mingfu quietly and paused slightly and said softly.

The Qinzheng Hall was silent in an instant.

When Qiao Xingjian heard this, he had been looking down and his eyes were suddenly shot out; even when Zhao Yun heard Jia Sidao's words, he looked at Jia Sidao with a stunned look on his face, and the rest of the people, let alone the others.

The only normal thing should be Li Mingfu, who asked this.

Obviously, Li Mingfu had known what these brans are used for a long time. The reason why he asked here was that in addition to wanting Jia Sidao to say it in person, he still wanted Jia Sidao to say it in person.

"Who are you given to...?"

Li Mingfu looked at Jia Sidao and then said in a deep voice.

When Jia Sidao heard Li Mingfu's words, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Mingfu with a point-like smile on his face. After a while, he suddenly showed a hint of mocking and spread his hands.

Li Mingfu's smile suddenly froze, and then he glanced at Jia Sidao viciously, but didn't say anything.

"For... the refugees?" Li Shao's voice shivered.

Jia Sidao looked at Zhao Yun and finally nodded.

"Jia Shixian...you...you..."

"Master, if you don't have this beast, you won't be able to calm the public's anger, Master!"

"Master, take down Jia Shixian..."

...

Jia Sidao, the ministers in the hall, basically knew each other, but they didn't know each other, and they looked a little kind-hearted, but most people were the same at this moment, that is, they were like Jia Sidao had just dug their ancestral tomb. However, Li Mingfu, now he returned to his previous appearance as a harmonious and rich man.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Yun suddenly shouted.

With Zhao Yun's loud shout, the Qinzheng Hall, which became like a vegetable market, suddenly became quiet. Zhao Yun looked up in distractedly and stood quietly below with a quiet person who seemed to be fine. He waved his hand irritably, "Si Dao, what do you... have to say?"

"Master, I have something to ask all the lords present."
To be continued...
