The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 157 Help
Wei Chenrui didn't have much interest in listening to what Shao Fu said, and Shao Fu also knew that it was taking care of the emotions of accompanying students, so he turned a blind eye to Wei Chenrui and let her ask for leave and attend classes. The desertion was just convenient for Wei Chenrui to think about how to settle Qian Zhixin.

The accounts that Huixin gave to Qian Zhixin were not from this year, but from last year, and some of them were from the year before last, and the number was relatively large. He was able to sort out the accounts in just a few days, and find out what was wrong with them. Where it is too reasonable, it shows that its ability is still quite strong.

It happened that Wei Chenrui's side needed to think of the chief financial officer, but as a concubine, the chief executives around him were all eunuchs, and Qian Zhixin, a normal person, was a bit too different. Wei Chenrui was worried that he would be rejected by the eunuchs.

After school, Wei Chenrui told Qian Zhixin all his thoughts and scruples, waiting for his choice.

Hearing that he was able to be Wei Chenrui's chief financial officer, Qian Zhixin couldn't say how happy he was. As for the eunuch, he didn't care at all: "They are all small subordinates. Not vegetarian unless you favor them, not the little ones."

Wei Chenrui smiled: "It depends on who is in charge of you. You are all working under the hands of this hall, and you are all people in this hall. It is not easy for this hall to favor anyone. Naturally, whoever is in charge of you will stand on the side of whoever is."

Wei Chenrui said this on purpose. Wei Chenrui still had some understanding of what kind of person Qian Zhixin was. To say he was a playboy was a little too much, but he was not honest, and he had caused some small disturbances.

Wei Chenrui was worried that his brother-in-law's temper was coming, and he would deal with people recklessly, which would chill the hearts of his subordinates, so he had to beat him in advance.

Qian Zhixin guessed some of these, and smiled awkwardly: "It's natural."

"That's fine, Huixin, take him to meet people, know the way, and get acquainted with him a little bit. You don't need to go to class tomorrow morning, just go to duty. As for Shaofu, you don't have to worry about it. The hall will tell you .”

After finishing speaking, Wei Chenrui turned and left the academy, while Huixin stayed behind and led Qian Zhixin to the other side.

As time passed, many senior officials were persuaded by Wei Chenrui and Yong Anhou to retire, and the academy for teaching people's skills was also put on the agenda.

The venues are all present. The academy where Wei Chenrui went to school can be said to be the best place, and it can be used after a little expansion.

After the officials handed over the affairs in hand and the academy was built, several officials began to teach in the academy and recruit students widely, and the academy was very lively for a while.

At this time, the Jinshi on the Martial Arts Field have come to the end of their homework, and it will be over in a few days. Wei Chenrui arranged a class or two for himself, mainly teaching them how to quickly gain a foothold in the village and how to earn money. Get what you need for life.

Most of the Jinshi have no experience in making money, knowing that they will have to rely on themselves in the future, so they listened very carefully.

Although Wei Chenrui is not very good at doing business, but since she has dealt with many businessmen, she still knows a little bit about the inside and outside.

Coupled with the different times, this kind of knowledge is completely sufficient in this era. Although they can't make them rich, they will definitely have no problem supporting themselves. No matter how bad they are, they are all Jinshi. It is no problem to accept a few students.

It's just that the countryside is not rich, so Wei Chenrui will focus on how to use the only resources reasonably.

Of course, her premise is also to give everyone some start-up funds, so that people won't leave empty-handed.

Time passed quickly, and it was time for Jinshi to leave in a blink of an eye. These people took 100 taels of silver from Wei Chenrui as travel expenses and start-up funds. As for how to use the money reasonably, Wei Chenrui was teaching. As I said before, Jinshi also had their own plans, and with money, they ran towards the place they had drawn by lottery.

If you are far away, you will naturally have to take a car. As for which car to take, it depends on your choice.

However, most Jinshi followed Wei Chenrui's suggestion and bought ox carts, because this is the most common and most suitable in the countryside. It can not only drive a cart, but also help plow the land and transport grain when the farming season is busy.

But the cattle in the capital are limited after all, so there will be a few Jinshi in the same direction, hitchhiking, and go to the next town to buy an ox cart. As for the travel expenses, that is not something Wei Chenrui needs to worry about.

Wei Chenrui, who thought there would be no problem and just waited for all kinds of good news from them, received a distress letter a month later.

This help letter was sent by Deng Huawu, saying that there was a major flood in Zhongzhou. The flood blocked the road, and several people could not move forward. Because of the flood, there were many victims. The local food price skyrocketed, and the county magistrate wanted to open a warehouse to relieve the disaster. The superiors did not allow it, and the county magistrate wanted to rescue the disaster but was powerless, so he asked for help to Huimin's study. It happened that Deng Huawu was staying in the study, so he took a special passage.At the same time, Jianghu's letter also arrived, saying the same thing as Deng Huawu.

It took half a month for the letter to be delivered from Zhongzhou. During this half month, the capital was still peaceful, and there was no news at all, which was very abnormal.

It has been half a month now, and it is unknown whether the flood has receded, and it is even more unclear how serious the disaster is. After thinking for a while, Wei Chenrui decided to go to the National Teacher's Mansion to seek the help of the National Teacher.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion, he was welcomed in. The National Teacher was waiting for Wei Chenrui's arrival in the mansion: "Your Highness came today because of the disaster in Zhongzhou?"

Wei Chenrui nodded: "That's right, did the national teacher receive any news?"

The national teacher shook his head: "No, but I got a little bit from watching the stars last night."

"Did the national teacher see the situation of the flood in Zhongzhou?" Wei Chenrui asked.

The national teacher sighed: "The corpses are all over the field, not only that, there may be even greater disasters."

As a doctor, Wei Chenrui knew very well in his heart that "after a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe". Now there is no cremation, but all burials, and there are dead people and refugees everywhere, who would pay the money to bury the dead for a living? What about Ann?Over time, there will inevitably be plagues.

Thinking of this, Wei Chenrui frowned: "The capital hasn't even received any news about such a big matter, so I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

"With Your Highness here, you will be able to turn bad luck into good fortune, otherwise you will not be predicted to be a prosperous and wise king." The national teacher said solemnly.

The most important thing for disaster relief is the support of money and food from the household department. With Wei Chenrui's current relationship with the household department, it may be difficult to get it, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "I can only do my best."

After finishing speaking, he left the National Teacher's Mansion without looking back, and went back to the palace to discuss with Emperor Zhaohe.

"What?" After hearing what Wei Chenrui said, Emperor Zhaohe was obviously very surprised, "What are the ministers in the court doing? How come there is no news of such a big event?"

Wei Chenrui smiled wryly: "This just shows that the ministers of the court are capable of keeping you a secret."

Emperor Zhaohe froze all of a sudden: "This is the emperor's helplessness. If the courtiers don't want you to know, you don't know anything."

Wei Chenrui heaved a long sigh: "It's useless to say these things at this time, think about what to do next, maybe a large-scale plague will break out, and at that time, the country will be in danger."

How could Emperor Zhaohe not understand the truth, but he has no good solution now: "It is necessary to send people to relieve the disaster, but who to send, I am really not sure now!"

No news has been received so far, which is enough to explain the problem. Emperor Zhaohe is already uncertain about who is trustworthy and who is not. If the people sent here do not do practical things, the problem will only get worse.

Wei Chenrui sighed: "At this time, I can only let the minister go. The elder brother does not know medical skills and cannot deal with possible plagues. Only the minister is the most suitable."

Wei Chenrui's work, Zhaohe Emperor is still very relieved, plus her excellent medical skills, close relationship with people in the world, she will be able to return safely, if other people, it is really hard to say: "I can only work hard for you, what is the need? Just mention it."

Wei Chenrui thought for a while and said, "With the relationship between Erchen and the Ministry of Household Affairs, there is no need to think about the relief food. Pei Qianhuo will definitely cry poor."

"Without food, how do you provide disaster relief?" Emperor Zhaohe was also in a dilemma.

Having been prepared for a long time, Wei Chenrui naturally thought of a way to deal with it: "I want to ask my father for a few places in the imperial business and a few imperial edicts."

"What imperial decree do you want, I will write it myself." Emperor Zhaohe greeted Liu Xi to take the blank imperial decree, picked up the pen and was ready to write.

"The first imperial decree is that the Liu family's merchants with the highest amount of food donations for this disaster relief will be promoted as imperial merchants, and all royal supplies will be purchased from these merchants in the future."

"The second imperial decree is to revoke the qualifications of the imperial merchants who donated food for the disaster relief and reduce them to ordinary merchants."

"The third imperial decree, all food and medicinal materials are not allowed to increase in price, and the price will be restored to the price a month ago, and those who violate it will have their homes ransacked."

"The fourth decree, all the people who donate food for this disaster relief will be exempted from their poll tax for three years."

Each of the four imperial edicts is extremely useful, Emperor Zhaohe understood it as soon as he heard it, and wrote it immediately.

However, these imperial edicts alone were not enough. Emperor Zhaohe arranged for Wei Chenrui three imperial physicians, twenty hidden guards, and a gold medal of "as if I came in person" to avoid death, so that she could do things cheaply.

With these, Wei Chenrui is full of confidence in this disaster relief.

In order to prevent anyone from interfering, Wei Chenrui pretended to be locked in the research room to study things, leaving a hidden guard inside to digest food and other movements, while he set out overnight and climbed over the wall without alarming anyone.

Emperor Showa pretended not to know, turned up and down as usual, and successfully deceived everyone.

After leaving the capital, Wei Chenrui and Kai continued to pretend to be husband and wife, while the bodyguards and imperial physicians in Blood Killing Valley pretended to be people and hirelings from the Escort Bureau. The dark guards hid in the dark and rushed all the way to Zhongzhou.

When they were two mansions away from Zhongzhou, Wei Chenrui changed into clothes that suited his identity, so that Kai could protect him with him, Kai changed into clothes that suited his status as a male pet, and everyone else changed into clothes that suited their identities. into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Wei Chenrui went straight to the government office, arrested the magistrate directly, and put him in the prison of the government office. He will clean up after the matter is over.

Then at the gate of the government office, those imperial edicts were read out, and people were sent to spread them around to let all the people know, and they reported and exposed unscrupulous traders, with the purpose of ransacking their homes to prepare disaster relief funds.

After hearing the imperial decree, the backstage is not very strong, so they quickly restored the original price, and Baba sent money and food, which is well-known as a donation.

Wei Chenrui didn't feel embarrassed about this kind of current affairs, and ordered him to restore the price, so he didn't pursue it anymore.

Wei Chenrui was relentless in dealing with those traders who insisted on being tough in the backstage, were disobedient, and still went their own way. He directly ransacked these people with blood and ransacked their houses, and the rebels were killed on the spot.

With such a thunderous method, all the merchants in Fucheng were suppressed, no one dared to resist, and they sent donations one after another.

And the local people, after confirming that the donation can be exempted from the three-year poll tax, also took out their own food and lined up to donate.

These days, there are still quite a lot of simple people, most of them donated food and cloth according to the population of each family, and there are naturally some opportunists, but the people sent by Wei Chenrui wrote it down, read it in public, and then told all the vendors , Raise the price for his family.

As a result, those who had thought carefully had to rest their minds.

Not everyone has a rich family, and many people have enough food to eat, so they can't take out the donated things at all.

In view of this situation, Wei Chenrui asked them to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and asked the imperial physician to take them up the mountain to collect some medicinal materials that could be used to treat and prevent the plague, and donated the medicinal materials.

In this way, after passing through two prefectures and arriving in Zhongzhou, the grain money raised was already quite a lot, and it must be able to last for a while.

Going out from the National Teacher, Wei Chenrui was already prepared for the disaster, but when he didn't want to see it, he still couldn't help but burst into tears, it was really miserable.

Every time you walk a short distance on both sides of many roads, you can meet a few corpses, just exposed to the sun, exuding a stench, and there are faintly maggots and mosquitoes flying on them.

Over time, the outbreak of plague is inevitable.

As a last resort, they had to stop, carry these corpses together, and then set fire to incineration.

Of course, he was stopped by his relatives and friends on the way, but he was suppressed by Wei Chenrui with food. If you want food or dead bodies, you choose one.

Those with sound minds will naturally choose food, and those who are alive are definitely more important than those who are dead.

With more and more corpses, the people Wei Chenrui brought were gradually not enough. In addition to protecting the food and medicinal materials, Wei Chenrui used food as a reward to let the refugees guarding the roadside carry the corpses and incinerate.

Wei Chenrui brought food, and those refugees naturally followed closely behind. This also led to a large group of people following behind, working more and more, and Wei Chenrui's people were no longer needed to intervene.

With food to eat and work to do, these refugees were quiet and did not make trouble. A group of people went to Zhongzhou Prefecture in a mighty manner.
