Chapter 464 Disaster Relief Silver

The Qian family’s wife is rich and not short of money, but the Han family has their own dignity, so it will naturally be done by saying this at home, but it is difficult to let the Han family know!

After that, he invited the man to combine the eight characters, and the gentleman who combined the eight characters naturally made all the best choices. This matter naturally happened. From then on, Qian Zaiyou's heart was relieved. He met Han Man from time to time in the academy every day, and went out to meet him and talked and laughed. He didn't know how many brothers he envied.

If this kid had not been rich, generous, and righteous, he would have picked up Chengsheng Academy and even the best flower in the capital home so early, which made countless unmarried men sigh and beat their chests and stamp their feet. They would have been beaten in a sack for countless times!

Han Qi knew the whole story of her girl's engagement, and couldn't help but smile at Wei Wu,

"It seems that kid Qian Zaiyou is not a stupid guy!"

Wei Wu responded to the Tao,

"The Qian family can make money houses full of great celebrations. The son of the family will not be a fool. Qian Zaiyou is just young. In another two years, he will be a cunning and cunning businessman like his two brothers!"

After Han Man's marriage was settled, it was autumn. This year's year was not good. The whole summer was drought in the north, and drought occurred in several prefectures north of Daqing. When it comes to autumn harvest, the fields are not harvested, and the people live without any rest. So they can only take their families and children and start their life as refugees.

Even if there is a disaster, the court naturally needs to provide relief. The Ministry of Revenue has calculated that no matter how frugal the situation is, it will cost 1.7 million taels of silver. However, the national treasury has not yet collected the autumn tax, and the amount of money that can be squeezed out is only 800,000 taels of silver. There is also a monthly salary of officials who have been owed for three months. Not to mention what they owe before, even if everyone does not take the court's one-tat money in the second half of the year, Jin tightens his belt and lives, this is still not enough!

In the imperial study in the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao looked at the notes presented by the Ministry of Revenue, and her eyebrows were frowned.

"I really didn't expect... I can't afford a drought in such a big country, and I can't even afford a mere 1.7 million taels of silver..."

As he said that, he raised his hand and brushed the teacup at his hand to the ground.

"Bang..."

With a shout, the little eunuchs were so scared that they bowed their heads and dared not speak. Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said,

"Come here, I've passed on Lu Gong to see me!"

Someone was circulating a message from the other end, and Lu Gong was called to kneel down the steps.

"His Majesty……"

"Lu Cong, how much money does my inner warehouse still have now?"

Lu Gong thought about it and responded,

"Your Majesty, now your Majesty's inner treasury has a total of 4.22 million taels of silver..."

"so much?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, Lu Cong replied

"Your Majesty, in addition to the money left by the late emperor, the inward treasury has not been copied by many property that was corrupted by officials in the front. These silver have always been divided into half of the outer treasury, and there are... Although the fleet that went to sea in front has not arrived in India, it has purchased a lot of local specialties along the way and sent it back one after another. All of the things are on the coast and traded with merchants. The money received is very generous. It has arrived in the capital last month and entered the inward treasury... Therefore, the inward treasury now has 4.22 million taels of silver!"

Zhu Houzhao said happily when he heard this,

"That's true. Then I will count all the disaster relief this time, and there is no need to use the external warehouse!"

They won't let their family stay with me crying for poverty all day long!

Lu Gong was shocked when he heard this, and thought for a while,

"Your Majesty... Please think twice about this!"

"Oh...what do you want me to think about it?"

Lu Gong thought for a while and said,

"Your Majesty is really the same as the last emperor. In the past, whenever there was a major disaster, the last emperor could not bear to the suffering of the people, so he solved the inner treasury to respond to the crisis of the country. But the money was gone. No matter how many times it was not a meat bun to beat a dog, no matter how many times it was returned..."

Zhu Houzhao waved her hand boldly after hearing this,

"I didn't think about asking them to return it!"

Lu Gong felt even more bitter when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, no! The group of officials who came up to him were all arrogant and ignorant. With His Majesty's generous donation this time, the next time the court has urgent matters, the first thing they thought was not to actively think about getting through the difficulties, but to reach out to His Majesty's inner treasury. If there is something wrong, they would jump out and ask His Majesty for money. As soon as the hole was opened... they could not stop!"

I remember that the late emperor was sought by them again and again, so that the inner treasury was empty, which made the late emperor and the empresses in the palace live a life of scattering. Later, whenever the late emperor wanted to buy some jewelry for the empress, the censor would jump out and accuse the extravagant. In the end, he would not be able to get better and become the late emperor!

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded.

"That's true..."

Lu Gong saw the opportunity and said,

"And... Your Majesty... It would be fine if all these silvers fell into the hands of the victims, but if the one hundred taels of silver were spent, at least seventy taels of silver would be taken to the point of being greedy for officials at all levels..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded,

"This is a matter. I spent money on the people, not a sucker!"

Thinking of this place, I lowered my head and thought,

"Even if there is a disaster, the people must not save them. The national treasury has no silver, and I cannot ignore it. The money must be spent, but you have to think about it carefully!"

Zhu Houzhao thought carefully for a few days, so that the next morning court, he first issued a self-criticism to the world. It is a common practice for the king to commit crimes in this country to have a major disaster. The ministers did not think it was surprising. Later, His Majesty issued a second imperial edict, saying that it was his own mistake, so naturally it was his own burden. Therefore, the emperor's disaster relief expenses were all paid by the emperor's treasury, and there was no need to allocate the silver from the treasury!

As soon as the imperial edict was released, the officials were immediately happy. Now it was the Holy Emperor and the King of Ming, Yao was in a bid to move towards Shun, and the benevolence and loving the people. Zhu Houzhao smiled and was flattered by everyone, and issued the third imperial edict.

"...The Jinyiwei is fully responsible for the disaster relief money, and all dispatching and escorting officials at all levels shall not interfere..."

As soon as the third imperial edict was released, it was quiet at first, and after a moment someone jumped out and shouted,

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, disaster relief matters have been routine since the court. Even if there are previous regulations, they should be handled according to the rules. Let the Jinyiwei handle this matter and place officials from all levels and governments!"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and nodded,

"What I said is true..."

Thinking about it,

"Even so, let the Jinyiwei supervise at all levels!"

Paused and said,

"Even supervision cannot be without power, then... I will give the Jinyiwei supervision and inspection. Officials under the fourth rank have the right to live and kill, but if anyone dares to corruption and abuse the law, they can be executed on the spot without reporting it!"

When the officials heard this, they were immediately upset.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Isn't it even more necessary to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed when she heard this.

"Innocent! All innocent... Don't you know what you guys think?"

After a pause, he lowered his face and said,

"Even if I pay the money, I will decide. If you don't want the Jinyiwei to intervene, it would be easier... How about you donate money in the hall?"

There was another quietness on the upwards, and the emperor said again,

"If you can get one million and seven million taels of silver, it will be no problem if you want to do it according to the routine..."

After saying that, the emperor stood up and looked around everyone and said,

"You guys can discuss it yourself. I will go back first when I am tired!"

The emperor left swaggeringly, leaving the ministers to discuss with a bitter face for a while, but they all refused to pay out of their own pockets, but the disaster could not be spared. They were quarreling for a few days, and the memorials of the ministers flew to the emperor's desk like snowflakes. Zhu Houzhao only ignored them, and the words on both sides were all the same.

"Whoever pays the money speaks, if you don't have money, stand aside!"

After several days of trouble, the victims were approaching the capital, so all the officials could not bear to rely on the emperor.

The emperor sent the Jinyiwei to provide disaster relief as he wished. Wei Wu is now the number one person in the Beizhenfusi. Such a major event will naturally take action personally. After receiving the imperial edict, he will go home to say goodbye to his wife and children. He holds his fat son who has been smiling all day long, and is reluctant to kiss him again.

After kissing his son, he came in and hugged his wife and kept kissing him. Han Qi was just smiling and letting him make trouble, thinking that he would leave the city before sunset. He didn't dare to make trouble too much, but unexpectedly, his hands and feet gradually became unhappy, and his skirt was accidentally pulled to the bottom of his thigh.

"Ah...you...what are you doing!"

Han Qi exclaimed and was kissed by Wei Wu. After a while, she was panting and whispered in her ear,

"Speak softly, Haisheng is still there!"

After saying that, he pulled off the underwear inside her. Han Qi was so angry that she twisted him.

"You...you know that your son is outside, and you dare to do this!"

"Shh..."

Wei Wu blinked at her with a serious look on his face.

"Speak softly, what should I do if I teach my son badly?"

Han Qi was so angry that she wanted to raise her hand to beat her, but she was picked up by him. She turned to the back of the screen where she was dressed and held her hands on the wall.

"ah……"

Han Qi screamed in surprise,

"Bastard...you...can't you slow down?"

Wei Wu licked her ear gently and smiled softly.

"I can't wait... I... I'll leave... I don't know when I will be back... Sister Qi... I'll just let me... this time... I'll make it feel like I'll smash it..."

After saying that, a heavy blow,

"Ah...um..."

Han Qi reached out to cover her mouth, but in just a few seconds his body turned into water, and he let him mess around casually. The couple suppressed their voices, and they heard the son and the girl outside babbling, making a ridiculous sound while gasping for each other.

After the rear guard Wu hugged his wife with a comfortable look on his face, and immediately touched a pillow on his face, but he didn't care at all. He laughed and tidied up his clothes, pulled his wife over, rubbed her twice, and whispered,

"This way, Sister Qi must be able to remember it for a long time!"

Han Qi blushed with a little face, and gave him a word,

"roll!"

Wei Wu laughed and went out to hold his son and kiss him a few more times. Then he went to the next door to say goodbye to my mother, leaving Han Qi to endure the strange thing between her legs, packed his bags, packed his clothes, and rushed him out of the city before sunset!
