The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1026 Disaster Relief Silver

"Master Duan!" Yang Chaoying turned to look at Duan Zhijie, feeling somewhat grateful for Duan Zhijie.

With a stick in your hand, isn't it just to help?
In such a critical moment, Duan Zhijie can stand up, such a character is already commendable.

"Master Yang? These are..." Duan Zhijie is an imperial order after all, how can he be so ignorant?

Seeing that Yang Chaoying was unscathed and started chatting with others, Duan Zhijie was full of doubts now.

He dropped the stick in his hand and looked at the other two who were talking to Yang Chaoying.

When he saw Hu Maoshen's face, he suddenly realized that it was Master Hu who came to rescue him.

Duan Zhijie trotted forward, thinking of Hu Maoshen and saluted, "I pay my respects to Mr. Hu!"

Hu Maoshen nodded, "Don't worry about Duan Langzhong!"

He was not surprised to see Duan Zhijie here, it should be that Min Feng and the others have already arrived at Hangtian Mansion.

Duan Zhijie is a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and he happened to be assigned by the Ministry of Industry to Jiangnan to inspect the river embankment.

It's just that there was such a big commotion just now, but Duan Zhijie didn't show up until the matter had subsided, and the others hadn't been seen until now.

You don't need to guess, you can know that these people are definitely greedy for life and afraid of death, and they must be hiding in the government office right now!

"You should have seen this one before. He was originally a servant of the Imperial Academy, Mr. Gu. However, he has been promoted recently, and now he is an official worshiper of You Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Duan Zhijie was horrified in his heart, it turned out that Gu Chengyu was one level lower than him.

Unexpectedly, the other party came from behind, and now he is two grades higher than him.

But why did Gu Chengyu appear here?Did the emperor send him to assist Hu Maoshen in dealing with the flood?

He thinks it is very possible, otherwise the emperor would not suddenly upgrade the other party to three levels, but this holy family is too strong.

Others are promoted level by level, but Gu Chengyu is lucky, like a sesame seed that bursts in an instant, jumping up all of a sudden.

"I pay my respects to Mr. Gu! Congratulations to Mr. Gu for his promotion!" Duan Zhijie suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and the expression on his face was very sincere.

Gu Chengyu didn't have time to worry about what Duan Zhijie was thinking, so after the greetings, he had to start arranging such victims.

"Duan Langzhong doesn't need to be too polite!"

After several people greeted each other, Gu Chengyu said to Yang Chaoying: "Master Yang! These disaster victims have been wandering outside the city gate of Hangtianfu for several days. I can suppress it once or twice, but not necessarily after that."

Everyone present understood what Gu Chengyu said. These disaster victims are not yet at the end of their rope.

It is summer now, and there are many wild vegetables outside the city that can satisfy their hunger, but what will happen to the victims after those wild vegetables have been dug up?
Is it really watching them starve to death?The imperial court has not distributed relief money yet, but the stomachs of the victims can't wait.

When it really comes to the end of the road, those disaster victims will definitely risk their lives.Anyway, I'm going to die, it's better to have a full meal before I die.

"Master Gu's words are reasonable, but I am very helpless! The river embankment in Hangtian Mansion is still leaking, and there is no food left in the city, let alone money. How can my small Hangtian Mansion accommodate so many victims? "

There are about 8 people in Changtian Mansion, and it is considered a central mansion according to the population and the amount of taxes and food.

Among them, there are more than 4 people in the villages on the lower reaches of the Tianya River.

Excluding the victims who were drowned before, there are at least 2 people left.With so many people, it is absolutely impossible for Hang Tianfu to eat them.

"Master Gu! Before you came, I wonder if the emperor has a regulation on disaster relief money?"

Yang Chaoying looked at Gu Chengyu with eyes full of hope, which made Gu Chengyu speechless.

In fact, before he left, the emperor even talked to him alone.

The emperor bluntly said that the emptiness of the national treasury was known to all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Even if money from the tea tax has rushed into the national treasury in the past two years, the imperial court owed a lot of military pay before.

The treasury has silver, so the military pay must be paid back first, right?

In addition, at the beginning of this year, various embankments were reinforced and repaired, so that the treasury, which had just had some silver deposits, became empty again.

Every year, there are royal family members' salaries, weddings and funerals, etc. These are all expenses.

The tea tax has only been implemented for more than two years. It will take a few years to improve the current situation of the empty treasury.

Therefore, the emperor revealed his tone to Gu Chengyu before.The disaster relief bank balance must be calculated by the Ministry of Accounts before it can be finally confirmed.

As for how much money you can have, this is a headache.

Gu Chengyu heard the helplessness and desolation in the emperor's words, and he understood that there might not be much money for disaster relief.

I can only apply that sentence, these days, even the emperor has no food left!

The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, the most honorable person in the whole world, even if he wants to spend money, he can't do whatever he wants.

"The money for disaster relief must be reviewed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. I'm afraid it will take some time."

In fact, Gu Chengyu had already thought of countermeasures before coming here, but to implement them later, he had to rely on Yang Chaoying.

Yang Chaoying was very disappointed when he heard the words. As an official of the imperial court, how could he not know the difficulties of the emperor?
But disaster relief is no small matter. Even if it is a loan of money, the household department will pay.

"But Mr. Gu has also seen that how to settle these victims is indeed a problem. Since the floods in ancient times, the plague has been rampant. With so many people staying together, if anyone is infected with the epidemic, the speed of infection must be extremely fast. These victims used to be They are ordinary people, they are also human lives!"

Yang Chaoying frowned, but in fact he still had something to say.The victims outside the city were infected with the epidemic, and the people inside the city were not spared either.

The epidemic is extremely difficult to control. Once infected, if it cannot be cured, it can only wait for death. It is not that such a thing did not happen in the previous dynasty.

At that time, the people in a county were all infected with the epidemic, and the imperial court ordered the city to be closed.

As long as you were in the county at that time, no matter whether you were infected or not, you would be locked up in the county, and finally that county became an empty city.

The epidemic is so terrible, and most of the disease is incurable.

"I came here this time to solve this matter. Although the emperor asked me to take full responsibility. But I am not familiar with the place. Even if I have a plan to implement, I have to rely on many of you. I also hope that everyone here can help , let's work together to resolve this matter satisfactorily!"

Hu Mao deeply agreed, and he nodded in agreement.In the face of floods, those personal grievances have to be put aside.

"Master Gu, don't worry, just give orders if you have something to do!"

When Yang Chaoying heard that Gu Chengyu was about to take over the mess, he nodded quickly.

Even Duan Zhijie was very excited in his heart. When he entered the city, he was overwhelmed by the tragic situation of the victims.

They can't go back home, they have no money or food in their hands, and they are all skinny and skinny!
