Your Majesty has become a victim.

Who can bear this?

Gu Xiang secretly sighed in his heart, the private salt case touched the interests of too many people, it was originally a partisan dispute between the eldest princess and the Lin party, he did not intend to intervene.

But the matter has reached this stage, and it has risen to the level of the court's interests, and the neutral faction must stand up and express its position.

After the court dispersed, the courtiers all looked dignified.

Gu Xiangyou looked at the sky, and said to the eldest son beside him: "The sky in the Southern Dynasty is about to change."

"Why did father say that?" Gu Yuheng asked aloud.

Gu Xiang smiled lightly: "Our eldest princess was born as the day of Fusang, which illuminates the boundless and boundless world, and there is never one thing or one person."

"Ten years ago, the eldest princess opened a large library to educate the people. From the family's monopoly on knowledge and talents, she opened a new path for the poor. In just ten years, many officials from the poor came to the court. They Standing out from the monopoly of the aristocratic family has already proved its excellence, and once it enters the court, it will be reused by His Majesty, and Tianxialou has linked these poor families together, which has already formed a faint constraint on the aristocratic family."

"Ten years later, the Eldest Princess used business to curb personal interests, and with her own power, she shook the interests of the elites in the Southern Dynasty. The private salt case only investigated one county in Hangzhou, and implicated countless officials and aristocratic families."

Gu Yuheng frowned: "It's not wise to fight against the aristocratic family."

The eldest princess wants to further take charge of the government, and what she does should be in line with the interests of the family in order to gain the support of the family.

Gu Xiang turned his head and smiled: "When the eldest princess recovers from the disaster and returns to Beijing, you should understand what it means to be in the sky."

Gu Yuheng's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately understood that the eldest princess was not unwise, but too wise.

"It would be great if the eldest princess was a boy."

"Pity!"

Gu Yuheng shuddered.

……

On the second day, Ji Ruxuan took Jiang Fuguang back to the county and moved into the house that he bought early in the morning.

The new prefect of Hangzhou came to Xin'an County to meet the eldest princess.

This person, Xue Mingshan, came from a poor family, and was once a guest in the eldest princess's shogunate because of his family's financial difficulties.

Seeing his good character and ability, Jiang Fuguang recommended him to be the county magistrate in a local area.

The eight ranks of the county magistrate, in charge of the county annals and county codes, in charge of local affairs such as files, grain and horses, warehouses, taxation, etc., are the best whetstones at the grassroots level.

Xue Mingshan has served as a local official for seven years, and has been promoted to the county magistrate. He has been evaluated for outstanding performance for several consecutive years, and he can be promoted after a few years of qualifications in office.

When employing personnel, the consideration of personnel is never just personal ability.

He was able to be promoted in advance this time because of the chaos in Hangzhou County, and the position of prefect is also a hot potato. The battle between the eldest princess and Marquis Cheng'an, and the fact that Xue Mingshan belongs to the lineage of the eldest princess, can take advantage of the eldest princess' prestige in Hangzhou County to quickly cut through the mess and stabilize the overall situation in Hangzhou County as soon as possible.

Xue Mingshan's ability is beyond doubt.

After joining the job, he quickly finalized with Yue Chen the distribution of the post-disaster pension money, and distributed the first amount of pension money issued by the county government to the victims to help them return to their hometowns.

Although the money was not much, it greatly encouraged the victims.

After the victims return home, the second tranche of pension money issued by the county government will also be distributed in accordance with the household registration to ensure the basic living of the victims.

After all the victims returned to their hometowns, the money allocated by the household department should also arrive, and the imperial court will distribute the third settling allowance to help rebuild after the disaster.

Once the notice was posted, the victims were ecstatic and rushed to the notice.

It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office, and Xue Mingshan won the hearts of the people in the first fire, and gained a firm foothold in Hangzhou, letting the aristocratic families in Hangzhou understand that the new prefect should not be underestimated in terms of means or courage.

At the same time, he assisted Shi Wenxuanli, the inspector of salt, to resolve the resistance from the family, and quickly investigated the illicit salt case in Hangzhou.

The second fire established prestige in Hangzhou County.

After that, in the name of the county government, he bought a batch of relief rations from local business gentry at a low price to help the disaster victims return home.

The third fire shows strong communication skills and connections.

In the golden autumn and August, the epidemic was completely brought under control, and the county government successively distributed the seeds of water and land crops with higher yields, such as wild rice stems and arrowroot mushrooms.

Seeing that the rations for next year have also been settled, the victims are completely at ease.

The disaster-stricken Xin'an County has recovered from the disaster at a jaw-dropping speed, showing a new look.

Everything in Xin'an County is on the right track.

Huang Jingzhou, who is the history of disaster relief supervision, retired and came to bid farewell to the eldest princess.

"I am ashamed, the disaster relief work can be so smooth, it is all thanks to the princess's benevolence to help the world, worrying about hard work, being diligent and encouraging, good words and good deeds, so as to benefit the next, eliminate evil and doubts, and be calm and appropriate. Only then can I live up to the emperor's order." , Return to Beijing to report to His Majesty, Eldest Princess, please be honored by your majesty."

Huang Jingzhou bowed his head and bowed, and gave a big gift to the eldest princess.

Jiang Fuguang hurriedly said: "Master Huang is serious, this time is for the victims of the disaster, and you will work together to supervise the disaster relief and epidemic prevention matters. The disaster situation can be calmed down smoothly, and Master Huang has contributed a lot. A few days ago, I have already handed over to the imperial court. Zhezi, please credit for you."

Huang Jingzhou was ashamed.

On the second day after returning to the capital, Huang Jingzhou brought the booklet and returned to the palace to report to His Majesty. The words were all about how the eldest princess upholds virtuousness, governs affairs with virtue, eliminates traitors and doubts, is diligent and vigilant, speaks kind words and deeds, and unites People's hearts, disaster relief and epidemic prevention.

Nanxing Emperor's dragon heart was very happy.

"Your Majesty," Huang Jingzhou suddenly knelt down, "I have the courage to speak to Your Majesty and express my feelings for the eldest princess. The dam in Xin'an County was destroyed. Because of the disaster."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar all over the court.

Huang Jingzhou immediately said angrily: "During the flood in Huigang, the government did not act, and the dam was actually guarded by the villagers spontaneously. How can we organize the dam construction in time when the water level of the dam rises, and the dam is destroyed? Why? Isn’t it the fault of the local government’s dereliction of duty?”

"Why do they believe that the destruction of the dam was caused by the disrepair of the river course based on the assumptions made by the officials of Hangzhou County? Can they have evidence to prove that the dam was destroyed due to insufficient monastic funds? It was not their own negligence of duty?"

"The local people know the situation of the dam best. I was doing disaster relief in Xin'an County. I never heard a word from the victims that the river course was in disrepair. What I heard and saw was the delay of the disaster by the local government. The officials of Hangzhou County wanted to use this The calamity that framed the eldest princess' heart is already evident."

"What's hateful is that the local government has neglected its duties and dared to act recklessly, shifting the responsibility to the Eldest Princess, in an attempt to make the Eldest Princess a scapegoat."

He immediately mentioned the fact that the officials of Hangzhou County, big and small, delayed the disaster, cited many examples, and provided relevant statements to support it.
