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

Chapter 1041
"When Min Feng first arrived in Jiangnan, he stayed in Yingnan Mansion for several days. During this period, he only visited the river embankment of Yingnan Mansion twice. He and the officials from the Ministry of Industry ate and drank in Yingnan Mansion, with beautiful women as company, so happy."

When the emperor said this, there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xia Qing's heart sank when he heard the words, this must be a black complaint from Gu Chengyu, otherwise the emperor would never know about it.

When Gu Chengyu was ordered by the emperor to rush to the south of the Yangtze River, Xia Qing had a bad premonition in his heart.Therefore, he summoned his cronies overnight to discuss how to deal with it.

He wrote a letter that night and sent it to Jiangnan. Could it be that Min Feng didn't receive his letter?Otherwise, why act so recklessly?
Previously, Min Feng and Hu Maoshen were walking together, so it would be fine if they acted a little more arrogantly.

He still has some understanding of Hu Maoshen, even if the other party is not an official of his own line.But Hu Maoshen did not dare to offend him.So as long as Min Feng doesn't go too far, Hu Maoshen will only turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Besides, Li Taihang, the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture, showed his favor to the Xia family frequently last year, and he guessed that the other party wanted to abandon the original owner and join his sect.It's just that he thought this person was too cunning, so he ignored him all the time.

Hu Maoshen didn't dare to pursue it, and Li Taihang only knew how to curry favor. Min Feng went to Jiangnan just to get promoted in a legitimate way.

It's a pity that he has calculated thousands of times and missed a little bit.He didn't expect the disaster in Changtian Mansion to become so serious, but the emperor sent Gu Chengyu to Jiangnan against all opinions.

Gu Chengyu has long been on the opposite side of himself, and this time he went to Jiangnan, why don't he take the opportunity to catch himself and Min Feng?

"Your Majesty! I have said before that Min Feng has been in the officialdom for less than three years, and he was compiling documents in the Imperial Academy before. Where has he seen such a scene? The flood in Changtian Mansion is a major event. Sending Min Feng, he is afraid. The strength is not exhausted. Even Gu Shaoqing may not be able to complete this important task, right?"

Who is Xia Qing?In just a moment, he calmed down.In fact, this is not a big deal at all, even if the emperor wants to punish Min Feng, there is no valid reason.

How many days have you been to Jiangnan?Still early!However, the emperor was furious again, so he decided to send his cronies to Jiangnan to warn Min Feng after returning to the mansion.

I don't know what He Zhongkuan is doing, he had ordered before that he must watch over Min Feng, make suggestions and give correct guidance.If there is anything wrong with Min Feng, write to him immediately.

It's just that now the emperor has received the news, but he is still covered in his bones, why don't people get angry?
Thinking of this, Xia Qing became very dissatisfied with He Zhongkuan.He planned to find a way to cure this person after he came back.

In the past few years, he has relied too much on He Zhongkuan, and he sees He Zhongkuan as a bit smug.Just an aide, do you really think you are a character?

"Let's not talk about incompetence for the time being, it's just that Min Feng accepted a bribe of 100 taels of gold, do you know?"

The emperor stared at Xia Qing closely, his old triangular eyes were still sharp.

Xia Qing was shocked when he heard the words, accepting bribes? 100 taels of gold?

His face was like water, the idiot.When can't you reach out, but at this time?
"What? 100 taels of gold? Is this Min Shidu really so greedy? Just arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and he started to scoop up silver? He just doesn't know what it means. This matter must be severely punished!"

"I heard that Min Shidu came from a poor background. It's normal to be open-eyed when he meets Qian. Hey! Wrong, I shouldn't have sent this person in the first place. I objected to it before. You see, now... ..."

"Where can a poor background be an excuse? Is there a shortage of officials from poor backgrounds in our court? Not to mention anything else, isn't Gu Shaoqing also from a peasant family? Why didn't they take the opportunity to make money?"

The hall instantly whispered and buzzed.A few of them didn't think it was a big deal, and even brought out Gu Chengyu for comparison.

It's fine to make comparisons, but he still spoke very loudly, with so much contempt for Min Feng in his words, it made Xia Qing very angry!

Xia Qing blew his beard and stared at the front, and he glanced behind him, knowing that it must be these old acquaintances, who would stab him from time to time on weekdays.

Now that something happened to Min Feng, they would not let go of the opportunity to ridicule him.

Xia Qing suppressed the anger in his heart, now is not the time to pursue these matters.

"Your Majesty! How could this humble official know about this? It's just that this humble official has some doubts, so please ask the emperor to clarify."

The emperor nodded slightly, the smile on his face parted from flesh and blood, making Xia Qing feel confused.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where this news came from. Is there any evidence and physical evidence? Otherwise, you will be empty-mouthed, and you will frame whoever you want to frame. Besides, who is the briber? What is the purpose of the other party? "

The emperor snorted coldly, really did not cry without seeing the coffin.

"The person who gave the bribe was Li Taihang from Yingnan Prefecture. There are all the witnesses and material evidence, but he has not been escorted back to Beijing yet. You don't need to know where he got the news. As for the purpose, it is very simple. It should be related to the water leakage of Nanfu River Embankment."

……

"My lord, there are more and more disaster victims outside the city. The villain and Ming Yan just went to inspect a circle, and many victims have already stopped, and even the wild vegetables in a radius of ten miles have been dug up. Porridge, there is no one today."

Ming Mo hurried into the study, reporting the report with a serious face.

Gu Chengyu got up from the armchair, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the price of rice in the city expensive again?"

Ming Mo nodded, "The price of brown rice was [-] Wen a catty two days ago, but today it has risen to [-] Wen, and the people are still flocking to it. As soon as the rice shop opens, the people flock to it, and within a short while, the rice will be sold." The row is empty."

The south of the Yangtze River is rich and rich, and the land is even more fertile.The climate here is warm, rice is mostly grown, and the grain production is much better than that in the Northland.

Therefore, every year, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is transported to other remote state capitals through the Tianya River, and the Tianya River is one of the most important water transportation in the Dayan Dynasty.

According to previous years, after paying taxes, the rest should be enough for the family to eat.

Of course, those poor families with a family of no more than two acres of land are excluded.

At this time last year, the price of brown rice was eight cents a catty, but now it has risen to forty cents a catty.And the price of food in other prefectures has also increased, but not as serious as Hangtian Mansion!

"Or those two rice shops?" Gu Chengyu touched his chin, and the plan in his heart gradually took shape.

"Exactly, only those two companies opened their doors to sell rice. Not only did the rest of the rice shops not sell rice, but when the villain asked people to investigate, they found that they were storing a large amount of grain. Among them, the Xia family's rice operations were the biggest. They even He also went to the countryside to encourage those people to sell grain."
