The four hundred and fortieth chapters help in the snow

After learning that his senior sister was safe and unlaid, Siyu yawned and said, "It's good that senior sister is fine, I'll go back to sleep."

Inside the house, Shi Qingjian said with some concern: "The lord used his might to force Zhang Wenjin to submit, and he might still secretly do something bad."

Jiang Anyi said: "He holds his hand in my hands. It should be fine in a short period of time. Let's deal with the urgent matters in front of him first."

"The key is that in the capital, the lord was fined three years' salary this time, which made me puzzled. It was clear why I had to punish him if I won the battle? Lord Tian's letter had not come yet, so I was so anxious." Shi Qingjian sighed.

Both the right and wrong things seem to become unimportant. The standards of good and bad lie in the emperor's mind, which makes Jiang Anyi feel very uncomfortable.

When he was away from home, Zhang Wenjin had already changed his clothes and reached out to grill it on the charcoal basin. Feng Daoling carefully reported to him about the passing in the lobby. Zhang Wenjin listened quietly, with a calm face and said nothing.

After Feng Daoling finished speaking, he asked nervously: "Sir, what should I do next? If I continue to delay, I am afraid Jiang Anyi will really take the initiative."

Zhang Wenjin's hand was scorched by charcoal fire, and suddenly shrank, saying, "He is the governor, and it is definitely not possible to resist hard. You should do as he said, and don't deliberately block it. I'm the only one close person in the mansion, so don't let anyone named Jiang find a reason to deal with you."

"Yes, sir, please understand me. I am willing to go through fire and water for you." Feng Daoling knew that he was sitting on Zhang Wenjin's boat, prospering and losing, and quickly expressed his determination.

Zhang Wenjin sneered: "The first person in Jiang is here, and he is eager to show his reputation to the court, and he spends a lot of money to invite political achievements. How can those local officials resist when they see the money? Then find out a large number of corrupt officials and see how the last ones are. By the way, the person in Jiang will definitely use this matter to establish his authority. You must be clean this time to avoid getting a handle for him."

In the lobby, the governor Jiang waved his hand and bought grain and used labor for relief. The silver was at least 300,000 taels. According to normal circumstances, Si Cang joined the army and entered the account for several thousand taels. Since Zhang Biejia had given the order, Feng Daoling had to bear the pain and say yes.

Zhang Wenjin's face was red by the charcoal fire, and he smiled gloomyly: "Don't be greedy, but you can find out who is greedy. If a fence-breasted man like Wen Qi chops his hands, he will use his feet to pluck silver. If you find out clearly, tell me, I will be useful at that time."

Feng Daoli smiled and said, "Does sir have any good plans?"

Zhang Wenjin said: "Let's talk about it then, you will remember this in your heart."

Feng Daoli left, and Zhang Wenjin stared at the charcoal fire and thought about it. The key to overthrow Jiang Anyi is still in the capital. As long as the emperor is tired of Jiang Anyi, he will become a cause for nothing, and he will become a guilty even if he has made merit. Thinking of the official document from Zhongshu Academy, it seems that he will go to visit Mr. Ning tomorrow. Mr. Ning, the father of Ning Ze, the minister of the Ministry of Works, came from the house of Huiyefu in Lingji County these days to avoid the cold.

Jiang Anyi wrote a ban and reported that the sixteen counties northwest of Huazhou suffered a snow disaster. The snow was five feet deep, with nearly 200,000 people suffering from the disaster. There were still countless cattle and sheep that could not survive the winter. He asked the court to allocate money and food to save the disaster. In the report, Jiang Anyi suggested that he borrow 40,000 stones of grain from the Anxi Protectorate, and then transport it directly to the Anxi Protectorate, and asked the court to allocate 500,000 taels of disaster relief from the tax bank paid this year. There was also a letter written to Yang Xiangliang, the Grand Governor of Anxi, who detailed the disaster situation in Huazhou. In the letter, he suggested to the emperor that the Anxi Protectorate should temporarily borrow food and grass. If the emperor approved the report, he would ask the Anxi Protectorate to send someone to escort him.

The next day, the letter rushed to the capital through 800 miles.

The major disaster relief event also began. First, two thousand soldiers were dispatched to the disaster area to clear the tunnel, and then six thousand garrisons also set off, and the food and grass were transported one after another. The documents collected from the civilians were sent to various counties. Stimulated by the twenty-month wages, countless people flowed along the avenue to the disaster area like a trickle.

Zhang Bie's carriage and horse were parked in front of the house in Nanning, Cheng, and told Menzi that he would visit Mr. Ning. After a moment, Menzi returned: "My Lord Zhang, my master is unhappy and does not see a guest. I asked me to tell Mr. Zhang four words to do it myself. Mr. Zhang, sorry, please come back."

Zhang Wenjin was poured with a basin of cold water on his head. He and Master Ning had a good relationship. He said four words and avoided it. The meaning of it was self-evident. Zhang Wenjin returned to the carriage in a drowsy manner, and the carriage returned home with a bumpy carriage. After arriving at home, he fell head onto the bed and shook his head in the thick quilt. This time he was really sick.

In Jingyangzhai, Ningfu, a young man was grinding ink. Master Ning rolled up his sleeves and applied ink plums on rice paper. After the last stroke was finished, Master Ning put down his pen and squintedly admired it with his beard.

The young master smiled and said, "The plums painted by grandpa are becoming more vigorous and powerful, with proud branches like iron, as if there is a faint fragrance coming through the paper, and the artistic conception is timeless."

"Hahaha, Zheng'er is getting more and more good at speaking." Old Master Ning smiled.

Holding Grandpa Ning sitting on the chair, Ning Qingzheng asked in confusion: "Didn't Zhang Biejia have a good relationship with my family? Why didn't grandpa see him?"

Grandpa Ning reached out to take the teacup, fiddled with the floating tea leaves, drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, handed the teacup back to his grandson Ning Qingzheng, and asked with a faint smile: "Why did Zhang Wenjin come?"

Ning Qing thought about the political strategy and said, "Eighty times came for the governor of Jiang."

"Yes, he clasped the crowd to impeach Jiang Anyi last time. The emperor seemed to have not blamed him, but Shangshu Lu was punished for his misconduct. In fact, the emperor was already beating him." Grandpa Ning slowly combed his beard and continued, "Your father wrote to tell me not to follow Zhang Wenjin to deal with Jiang Anyi again."

Ning Qingzheng smiled and said, "Last time, Governor Jiang's wife took back a batch of goods for my family from the horse thief. Lord Jiang returned it to my family. Grandpa also promised him that our family's goods will be traded in the border market in the future. I heard Uncle Cheng's complaint that the two batches of goods were traded in the border market recently and paid an additional 8,000 taels of silver."

Grandpa Ning smiled and said, "You Uncle Cheng is just staring at something three feet away in front of you. What does he know? Our goods in the border market are trading, and it seems that we have to pay 30,000 to 40,000 taels of taxes every year. However, the Ning family took the lead in expressing their support for governor Jiang's decision. Jiang Anyi must recognize this favor. Jiang Anyi is as old as you, and he is the governor of a state. How much money can he buy his favor?"

Ning Qingzheng did not say anything, and a hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes.

Grandpa Ning smiled and said, "Zheng'er, you don't need to be jealous. People like Jiang Anyi are rare in a century and are really evil. Your father mentioned in his letter yesterday that Jiang Anyi went out of Jingmen Pass and killed two hundred Rong Mi Qingqi, but the court instead ordered him to fine his salary for three years on the grounds of his violation of the old order of the background emperor."

Ning Qingzheng said happily: "Did the emperor also think that Jiang Anyi is bold and arrogant? Is he hitting him?"

Grandpa Ning glanced at his grandson with a serious face, "Zheng'er, you are smart and quick-witted, but don't blind your heart because of jealousy. The more you are, the more you will be inferior."

"What grandpa said is," Ning Qingzheng said: "The grandson is a little jealous of governor Jiang, so he wishes to hear bad news from him."

"You can correct your mistakes, but you can't do it well.

Great Yan." Grandpa Ning nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Zheng'er is better than most people, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future. Your father told me in the letter that the emperor's favor for Jiang Anyi has not diminished at all, and it has even become more and more serious. You must know that sometimes it seems that it is actually a care. If Jiang Anyi can be constantly beaten by the emperor, his foundation will become more solid and his future will be brighter."

Ning Qingzheng bent down and fiddled with the stove at his grandfather's feet, and carefully cultivated charcoal fire on the charcoal fire to try whether the temperature was appropriate. He was very satisfied with his grandson's story, and smiled and uncovered his mystery: "Your father said in the letter that although Jiang Anyi was fined three years of salary, the personal guards who followed him to fight gave two Renyong lieutenants and five Rong lieutenants. Emperor Jing's old order was also abolished. Do you think this is a reward or a punishment?"

Ning Qingzheng took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Mr. Jiang's holy favor is probably not much."

"That's why your father wrote to me to contact Governor Jiang. Zhang Wenjin came to the door, either to find out the news or ask me to deal with Governor Jiang. Do you think I can let him in?" Grandpa Ning narrowed his eyes, revealing the cunning of the old fox.

Ning Qingzheng smiled and said, "Ging is still old. Grandpa, you have seen it clearly in the morning, so I asked Uncle Cheng to put the family's business into the border market transactions, one step ahead and one step ahead. My grandson admires it."

"It's not enough. Fatty Guo used perfume to attract Hu merchants into the border city at Qixianlou. The Ning family followed him at this time and was not conspicuous." Grandpa Ning's frosted eyebrows trembled, and his eyes were solemn: "It's better to help me in time than to add icing on the cake."

Ning Qingzheng thought for a while and said, "Now the government office is vigorously providing disaster relief. I heard from the people in the yamen that there is insufficient food and grass for disaster relief. Grandpa, there are thousands of stones of food in our village. It is better to donate a part to provide disaster relief to Lord Jiang. This will not only help Lord Jiang, but also gain a good reputation."

Grandpa Ning smiled and said, "Zheng'er said it well, grandpa also has such an idea."

Ning Qingzheng was a little excited when his idea was adopted by his grandfather and said with a smile: "The grandson will go and ask someone to count the amount of food to see how much it is appropriate to donate."

"It's useless if you don't have less," said Mr. Ning firmly: "I have a lot of food at home, and there are about 2,000 stones. Calculate the amount of food you eat at home, and donate the rest."

Ning Qingzheng was startled by his grandfather's aura and hesitated: "There are almost 2,000 stones, and they have all donated?"

"Donate all of them, so that the people of Huazhou know that as a native of Huazhou, our Ning family will do everything to help everyone overcome difficulties when they are in trouble. We will buy righteousness for a thousand gold coins, and our Ning family will use 2,000 stones of grain to buy a kindness for a kindness. In addition, let the accountant pay 5,000 taels of silver and donate it to the government. We either don't do favors, and if we want to do it, we will be known to everyone in the world."

Ning Qingzheng looked at grandpa with admiration, and his heart was surging. This was the one who had a great spirit and did great things. Ning Qingzheng said: "Grandpa, you said it well. This money and grain can be exchanged for the health of my Ning family for a hundred years, which is a good deal. Maybe my Ning family will be praised by the emperor like the Han family. Grandpa, you can rest first, and I will ask someone to transport the grain and grass to the government office."

Grandpa Ning called out to his grandson and smiled treacherously, "No hurry, everyone has said that timely help. Now the government office still has some supplies. When the food in the government office is out of the whole transportation, we will go to the charcoal. By the way, you go to your father-in-law and tell your father-in-law that he will donate some food, and there are several closest to our family. You are talking about it. If everyone gets together, the number will be enough to impress the governor of Jiang. This is called timely help."
