Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 494 Severe drought in two provinces, invited by Jia Zheng
"not interested!"

Just as Zheng Shiquan was about to answer the call, he was uncomfortably blocked.

He never expected that the other party would give him such an answer, after all, he had already prepared the groundwork before.

If this is a normal person, how can he say that he is not interested!You should at least listen to it.

"Master Hou, don't you want to hear what kind of business it is?"

After being silent for a while, Zheng Shiquan asked again without giving up.

Jia Guan glanced at the son of the vassal prince, "You are not qualified to discuss business with Ben Hou!"

When Zheng Shiquan heard this, his face immediately turned red. Even in the capital, those princes would not dare to neglect him like this. Behind him was a hereditary and irreplaceable prince with a full 50 troops in his hands.

"The emperor is here, all the ministers have an early court!"

At this moment, Dai Quan's male duck voice sounded, Jia Jun didn't care about Zheng Shiquan's face any more, and walked towards Fengtian Temple.

Only the pale face of the prince's son remained.

"Bastard, insufficiency and conspiracy!!"

At the end of the line, Zheng Shiquan's weak words echoed around him, looking at the young man in scarlet robe, he couldn't hide the trace of anger in his eyes.

Above the court, as in the past, the cabinet first reported the work, and then the officials of the six ministries selected the more important matters from the matters received yesterday and reported them to Emperor Mingkang.

Then Emperor Mingkang's joint cabinet will finalize the corresponding solution and select the appointed personnel.

Not many of them involved military affairs, and Jia Gong didn't talk to him. One of the more important things was the severe drought in Shandong and Henan.

The imperial court has allocated money for the earthquake disaster, but according to the officials of the household department, it seems that the effect is not good.

The crops in the two places are almost useless, and the water shortage is very serious. Many victims of the disaster are fleeing from the north to the south.

This is a natural disaster, beyond the reach of human beings, so the court did not give a better plan, and did not force the local people to stay. If they did that, it would only be an official rebellion.

Hearing this, Jia Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Farming and growing grain, if you want to have a good harvest, you need the right time and place. Even after a thousand years, it depends on the sky to a large extent.

Although the construction of water conservancy can be relieved for a while, sometimes it is beyond the reach of the whip. The land is so vast, and a river and its tributaries cover a really limited area. There are still many places that are not needed at all, or are not needed. It is very realistic. It does not mean that as long as the water conservancy and ditches are built, it will be done once and for all.

Things are always easier said than done.

If we want to solve this problem from the root, it is not enough to allocate funds for earthquake disasters and build water conservancy projects.

It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the market and make emergency plans in advance. It is said that people without foresight must have near-term worries. In this regard, Dakang has some shortcomings. For example, grain depots must be built everywhere, not just A few, so that you have food in your hands and don't panic.

If you encounter such a thing again, you will be able to handle it with ease.

However, such a matter involves a lot, and with the current status of the court, there is no extra energy to do it, so Jia Gong doesn't have much to say.

It seems that the court has not changed beyond recognition because of Jia Gong's return, it seems to be the same as before, what should I do or what should I do?
And Jia Gong also discovered a strange thing, several princes of Emperor Mingkang were very active in the court, but Emperor Mingkang turned a blind eye to this.

Sometimes, there will be a few sentences on demand. Judging from the situation, it seems that he has begun to intentionally cultivate future kings, but Jia Jun thinks it may be a little too early.

You must know that Emperor Ming Kang was only about 40 years old at this time. Although he was not as vigorous as when he was 30 years old, it was a good time, and he rarely dabbled in the harem.

If it is said that this person can live to an ancient age, Jia Gong does not feel strange in his heart.

In fact, if it is a normal situation, the crown prince is generally the son of the middle palace, but for Emperor Mingkang, the situation is quite special. The wife who was originally married to him died early before giving birth to the prince, and the later Zhonggong The queen of the palace, that is, Fan Zhixuan, has no heirs under her knees, so, according to the tradition left by her ancestors, the position of crown prince is vacant.

Therefore, the several princes of Emperor Mingkang are likely to inherit the throne. The first prince died in Tupan, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince are old enough, but it seems that there are not many people who support them. What about the fifth prince?There are quite a few people who support him, but he himself is still young, and now he is about the same age as Jia Baoyu. He has not experienced much and lacks experience.

Even now, in Fengtian Hall, the fifth prince is not seen.

I just don't know what Fan Yun and that old guy are thinking about going to Wu Xun's lineage?

A few grown-up princes who started to participate in politics did not support, but secretly supported a little guy.

However, these things just flashed through Jia Jun's mind, and did not cause much disturbance. He didn't care who would inherit the great rule. The younger generation, or a fatuous lord, he thought that when the time comes, he will clear the king's side and change course!

However, he never revealed this to anyone, and even said that Cailuan and the others only knew about Wuxin's position, but not about his other plans.

Time passed by, and the early court came to an end soon. This time, Emperor Mingkang did not leave Jia Gong alone, but called the cabinet ministers to the imperial study.

The drought discussed today involved too much. He guessed that Emperor Mingkang obviously had some concerns. After all, these two identities were not far from the capital. If they rushed into the capital, there might be problems near the capital.

Halfway down the court, Jia Jun met an acquaintance, an acquaintance who surprised him a bit, this person had never been here before him, this person was none other than Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion .

Looking at the appearance of the other party, it seems that he is waiting for him specially.

In this regard, Jia Gong did not avoid it, and walked over to say hello to the other party.

In the Duke's Mansion, if you want to say that there is only one good person, this one is probably the only one. Compared with Jia She and Jia Zhen, although this one is a bit hypocritical, which is often said to be prudish, but the bottom line is ultimately higher than those two people out a lot.

And he also received a lot of favors from the other party back then, and he still remembered these in his heart.

"Master Zheng~"

There were not many people around, and Jia Gong also chose a more suitable title.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was very relieved.

"Brother Ku!"

Jia Jun didn't do much greetings, and went straight to the point. After all, this is not a place to talk.

"Is there something wrong?"

Jia Zheng thought for a while, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty's matter, the Hou Mansion is very helpful. The mansion said to thank you, set up a banquet, and the garden, which has just been completed, there are still many details that have not yet been revealed. Perfect, the old lady is thinking about the completion of the garden, brother Gong, you have contributed a lot, and you have a lot of experience outside, so I want to invite you to give pointers, so that you don't embarrass your empress when the time comes."

Hearing this, Jia Gong thought about it and didn't refuse. Given his relationship with Yuan Chun, he could go to the garden for a while. To be honest, he was still somewhat interested in that garden.

After all, among the other stories, this courtyard is the most colorful.

"Master Zheng, let's go, I will go back to the house to clean up, and then I will pay a visit!"

"Then wait for the big driver!"
