The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

The next day, Zhao Qingyi acted as one of the guards, guarding the prince and patrolling outside the gate of the capital to temporarily settle the porridge, but more memorials were sent to the capital, but they were all crying poor in various counties in Hedong.

The original prince also hoped that the local government would leave some surplus food. At this time, all states and counties are still looking forward to the imperial government's funding for local disaster relief.

The princes and cabinet officials went into the imperial study room again to discuss matters. Guo Yongqi threw the papers from the Hedong Road stage and said: "The river is governed every year, and every year there is disaster. Four years ago, Liu Jitang reported that the Yellow River burst and flooded thousands of hectares of fertile fields. , I have been exempted from taxes for three years, what did I eat for the past three years!"

During the restructuring of the first emperor, the administrative system was simplified and the taxation was unified under the management of the household department. Sun Yueming, the Shangshu of the household department, was worried that the household department would pay for the money again, and couldn't help but glance at Cheng Wang Guo Yanzheng.

Guo Yanzheng was still young, he was a prince, but the Han people at this time still respected scholar-officials, and he was not completely superior to Sun Yueming as a prince in public affairs.

However, he still needs Guo Yanzheng to say more convincingly on this matter. Guo Yanzheng said: "Father, it is said that Hedong Road is not far from Beijing.

(Bianjing) If the disaster in Hedong Road is really so severe, the surrounding area of ​​Beijing will also feel like it. "

Beijing also feels that this year's spring is rainy, but it is not so exaggerated.

Wang Gong suddenly said: "Fifth brother, what do you mean? Are there any fake victims?"

Guo Yanjin would be a rogue in the mansion, and if he wanted to go to Zhao Qingyi, he also showed that he didn't care about the throne in front of the emperor. However, this matter is not a time to blindly show a uselessness when discussing state affairs.

At least Guo Yanzheng has shown his support for him now, and Guo Yanjin's wife's arm has been chopped off. What he has to do is to use Guo Yanzheng.

Guo Yanjin said: "Fifth brother did not mean this, but the emperor just said that Hedong is tax-free for several years, and there is always grain in stock. Moreover, more than three years ago, it was the heavy rain in August, and the Yellow River broke its dyke. Time, the rain is a little bit more than in previous years, and it will not be more than three years ago. That time, it has not yet reached such a level, why this time..."

Hedong refers to the east of the Yellow River. In Shanxi, the rainbands in spring are not here normally. The rainbands will be in North China in July and August. Therefore, there are few such floods except for the spring floods.

Guo Yanjun suddenly said, "Prince, are you saying that an official in Hedong is corrupt?"

Guo Yanjin said: "Fourth brother, I only mentioned this question. Whether it is the chief or imperial envoy of Hedong Road, hasn't the embankment been repaired in the past few years? I remember that my father had the will of the emperor three years ago to repair the embankment well. And he allocated 300,000 taels of silver to repair the embankment back then."

Guo Yanjun said: "Prince, helping refugees is the most important thing now. How many dams and dams on the Yellow River are being repaired and collapsed every year. Why is it weird?"

Guo Yongqi shouted at Guo Yanjun: "Enough! You shut up for me!"

Several princes competed for the throne, and the sixth son of the emperor Guo Yanjun believed in Wang Guo Yanjun to be the most sharp, not to say how talented he was, but that the people who gathered the family were very greedy, and the wives and mothers belonged to gangs. Unlike Cheng Wang Guo Yanzheng, it is much more low-key.

Liu Jitang, the chief ambassador of Hedong Road, is the mother of his concubine Liu.

Guo Yanjun hurriedly knelt down and said: "Father, the son just wanted to let the prince focus on the relief of the disaster, now it is useless to turn over the old account three years ago! What does it mean that the prince is looking through the old account at this time, son I have to think more..."

Guo Yanjin had such a big scandal in the East Palace, but his position as a prince was still so stable. Even if there were some small storms in the previous dynasty, he was suppressed by Guo Yanqi. Guo Yanjun deeply felt that his father was partial.

Guo Yanjin's heart moved slightly, and he still resisted no explanation, but did not expect Guo Yanzheng to act and play: "Father, the second brother is definitely not targeting anyone. Although the resettlement and relief of refugees is a major issue now, it can be relieved for a while, but it cannot be relieved. After the flood subsided, the refugees should still be sent back to farm. Hedong still needs someone to do something, but if the officials below are not dedicated, it won’t be possible. If it can’t be done in three years, can it be done right now?”

Guo Yanjun said: "Fifth brother, who do you mean to do badly? You do well?"

Guo Yanjin really can see that no matter how Guo Yanjun wins people, he doesn't have much intention of doing things for the court, but Guo Yanzheng's foothold is still doing things.

Guo Yongqi said: "Stop arguing, Sun Yueming, how much money can I withdraw from the household registration?"

Sun Yueming said, "Holy, it will take three or four months before the summer taxes are delivered. However, the military noise of the four major camps in the capital is 300,000 taels per month, plus the salaries of the officials, it is really difficult to extract. Here comes the silver."

"Two hundred thousand taels, I will squeeze another two hundred thousand taels from the inner palace, Prince, you will be responsible for this disaster relief in Hedong."

Guo Yanjin thought to himself: Does the father let him be responsible for letting him fight Guo Yanjun again, or to test his ability and influence?

But this is the imperial decree, and he had to accept it.

...

"Going to Hedong?" Zhao Qingyi murmured, thinking of the strange weather in his heart. There is so much rain in the Hedong area in spring, shouldn't the Jianghuai area be flooded with water?

Now Guo Yanjin doesn't conceal anything from her, saying: "I am going to comfort the people and repair the river embankment, I am afraid it will take a long time. The refugee relief in the capital has been handed over to the King Cheng, King Gong, and Shuntian."

Zhao Qingyi said: "Are you leading the troops this time?"

Guo Yanjin said: "It's simple and convenient, if it is to mobilize troops and horses, it will take a lot of work."

Zhao Qingyi said: "His Royal Highness, the Hedong Chief Envoy is a believer in the king, and the Hedong Army Jiedu Envoy is not yours. It is too dangerous to go here."

Guo Yanjin smiled and said: "Now that the prince is in front of the people, the people are in trouble, and the father is destined, how can I shirk it?"

It's not that you can't say that you can't be slick, but Guo Yanjin has the style of ancient scholars, and he doesn't like that practice very much.

Zhao Qingyi said: "I will accompany you."

Guo Yanjin said: "I'm going to rescue the disaster and take you there. I'm afraid it's going to tell me that I'm taking a woman to travel in the mountains and water."

Guo Yanjin had deliberately teased him, but Zhao Qingyi didn't feel angry when he heard it. Instead, he smiled and said, "This name is not bad."

Wasn't he the one who was too dedicated to the disaster relief and was praised and killed by others? The appearance of a concubine like this is a blemish, and I can't hold it too high.

Guo Yanjin didn't know what she was thinking, and his heart became hot. He held her hand and said, "Wanyan..."

That's how ancient men were, and the gentleman who treated his concubine like this was already like a blossoming iron tree.

Zhao Qingyi broke away from his hand and said, "It's late, you have to leave tomorrow, take a break early, and I will also pack up."

Guo Yanjin's heart hurt when she saw her indifferent appearance, but knew that she didn't like to struggle with this matter, reluctant to let her go to bed again, and got up and left her yard.

After Guo Yanjin left, Zhao Qingyi also packed up two men's clothes, a little wound medicine and a sword. She was a person with space, but it was difficult to prevent others from suspicion, so she had to take them out.

...

At this time, there was no serious mistress in the East Palace, and there was no objection to Zhao Qingyi's going out. It was because the emperor had a concubine when he was on the tour, and it was not a big deal for the prince to bring a close waiter.

The prince's entourage, in addition to Zhou Zhen's 20-year guard of the highest martial arts, there are also Liu Haowen and Zhongshe Li Zhao.

A group of people rode horses and escorted the Prince's car out of Beijing.

Zhao Qingyi wore a blue brocade robe and rode on a black horse. Guo Yanjin was also in the carriage. After walking for a long time, he also got out of the carriage and rode a red horse to Zhao Qingyi's side.

Guo Yanjin looked at the sun and said, "If you don't want to sit in the car, the sun in this noon is quite poisonous, but it will tan."

Zhao Qingyi said, "No, it's very bumpy in the car."

Look at the official roads of Yantu, even modern cars will crash, let alone ancient times without advanced shock absorption methods.

Zhao Qingyi said again: "It is still very conspicuous for us to come out like this, I'm afraid the officials in Hedong will know it sooner."

Guo Yanjin said: "How about knowing earlier? I only do what I should do."

Zhao Qingyi said: "There is no grain to transfer in Beijing, how can you comfort the victims?"

Guo Yanjin said: "You don't know, everyone says I am the prince, and my status is naturally different from other princes. In fact, the sixth brother is the richest of the brothers. Although the people in Hedong are not the richest, but there are rich people in that area. On the commercial road connecting the North Desert, there were merchants who left the Western Regions. The mines that the officials and gentry of Hedong and Hedong roads have controlled for decades are used by the imperial court for iron smelting and the daily use of the common people. How much money does it have in a year? This time there was a flood, and the court said that there was a lack of food and silver on the face, which shows the chaos of government officials."

Unlike what many people in modern times know, the history of coal development and utilization in ancient China did not start in modern times, and it was not entirely learned from the Western Industrial Revolution. In fact, it was developed on a considerable scale in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was a very effective era of coal development and utilization, and the Song Dynasty also began to use coke to make iron.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo was amazed at the use of coal in China, indicating that at that time, the use of coal in China was much higher than that in Europe. During the Ming Dynasty, Song Yingxing’s "Heavenly Work Kaiwu" recorded that China used coal to forge iron and used it as a common fuel for daily life.

The memory of the original owner is very rough, and he only knows that the prince was loved by the people after the flood control. At the beginning, his strength soared, but the emperor saw him more and more unpleasantly.

Zhao Qingyi's knowledge of these ancient techniques and details of life is of course not as ordinary people's perception, but when Guo Yanjin mentioned it, he was shocked and said: "His Royal Highness, do you want to pile up money by yourself or to the court?"

Guo Yanjin was slightly startled, but not angry, but smiled: "Why, is there a difference?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "You deliberately came out of Beijing in the name of disaster relief, and then you came to compete with others in the name of rectifying the officials, but you can't keep it when you get it. Are you afraid of getting a mess?"

If you want to rectify the bureaucracy, most of you have to grab money, which is not enough, and you have to grab the benefits of coal bosses. Don't people curse and go to hell? No wonder everyone wants to kill him.

Guo Yanjin was able to readily agree to the emperor's coming out. Obviously, this matter had already been in his heart, but it was just smooth sailing.

This person usually pretends to be a matter of interest, and the bottom of his heart is still clear. His only good is that he has not thought of squeezing money from the poor, but from the moths of these countries.
