Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

They came to Xue Lian's study together.There were already six people waiting in the study, three of them were wearing the robes of a civil servant, one was wearing a robe of a military officer, and two of them were also dressed as scribes, who were probably Xue Lian's staff.The middle-aged scribe who brought Wu Shigong in introduced himself first, saying: His name is "Zhang Kehua", and then he introduced everyone present to Wu Shigong one by one. Wu Shigong couldn't remember so much. He bowed his hands in greeting, and only remembered that one was an official from Shuntian Prefecture, one was an official from the Ministry of Industry, and the other was an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs.That officer is an officer of the Beijing camp.Everyone also politely returned their salutes one by one.Everyone sat down separately, and Wu Shigong also sat in a corner of the study and listened to their discussions.

It turned out that this incident was about the explosion of Wang Gong Factory.After this incident, the Ministry of Households allocated 1 taels, and the internal treasury allocated 1 taels. A total of 2 taels of silver was sent to Shuntianfu, the Ministry of Industry, and Beijing Yingying for joint disaster relief.In the end, Wei Zhongxian asked Xue Lian for this errand. He told the emperor that sending an honorable master would help show the importance of the court and help the victims of the disaster feel at ease.The emperor also deeply agrees.Therefore, the emperor ordered Xue Lian to be in charge of this disaster relief, and asked Shuntian Mansion, the Ministry of Industry and Jingying to cooperate with him.However, according to the disaster relief rules of the Ming Dynasty at that time, 4000% of the money allocated by the household department and the internal treasury would be deducted as usual. In this way, only 5000 taels fell into Xue Lian's hands, and Wei Zhongxian had to give 9000 taels Filial piety, there are still 9000 taels left.But what can [-] taels do?Up to now, it has been a month since the big explosion of Wang Gong factory, but the ruins are still the same pile of ruins.Don't talk about rebuilding their homes, they didn't even clean up the roads at the explosion site and dispose of the rubbish in the ruins.Xue Lian was also anxious, even on the second morning of her daughter's wedding, she hastily summoned people from relevant departments to discuss a solution.

In fact, Wei Zhongxian asked Xue Lian to be the commander-in-chief of disaster relief not to harm him.That's what Wei Zhongxian planned.As long as Xue Lian takes out three or 9000 taels of 4000 taels to set up a porridge shop or something to give relief to the victims, don't make any big troubles, and distribute one or two profit to the officials below, then Xue Lian's own pocket can also be used. Three or 4000 taels are left behind.This is also considered a beautiful job, and it can also be regarded as taking care of one's own people.

However, Xue Lian has not completely lost his conscience, but he wants to do a good job in helping the victims.But in this disaster, nearly 9000 houses collapsed, nearly [-] people died, and even more were injured and homeless.If disaster relief is to be done seriously, how can [-] taels of silver be enough?If you don't have enough money, there's nothing you can do, as long as you have people.At least I can do some disaster relief work.However, Xue Lian had been negotiating with the three departments of Shuntian Mansion, the Ministry of Industry, and Beijing Yingying for almost a month, but these three departments repeatedly shirked their excuses. Apart from sending a few puppies and cats to deal with it, they refused to send any more manned.Xue Lian was also ruthless today, and he must squeeze out some people.

After a brief opening remark, Xue Lian went straight to the point, and then looked around at the officials sitting beside him to ask them to come up with a solution.

Seeing Xue Lian looking at him, the official from Shuntian Mansion started to speak first.The content of the speech was very simple, summed up in two words - "No one!".He explained: Now is the season, which happens to be the busy time of summer. If people are spared now, what will happen to the harvest in the field?Don't it be here that the victims of the Wang Gong factory explosion were rescued, there are also victims of the famine in Shuntian Mansion.There are good reasons for this. The issue of ensuring the stability of agricultural production has always been an issue worthy of attention.Even in the current information age, agriculture-oriented and non-agricultural instability are the basic national policies of our country.Needless to say, the agricultural society of the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this explanation from the officials of Shuntian Mansion, Xue Lian could only look at the next one.It was the official from the Ministry of Industry.The official answer from the Ministry of Industry was also very concise, and it was also two words - "No!".He explained: At the current disaster site, except for a few main roads that can be guaranteed to be unblocked, other roads are densely packed with temporary huts for the victims to live in.How does this tell people to clear the way?In addition, even if there are no victims on the road, the Ministry of Industry will not be able to send manpower to work.Because of this explosion, not only the houses were blown up, but even the south and west walls of the capital were blown down. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are rushing to repair the city walls.Otherwise, in autumn and winter, when the Mongolian army invaded the border, if the defenders on the nine sides dozed off and let a group of Mongolian soldiers come in to the capital, the fun would be great.The south city wall is okay, and there is an outer city wall.What about the Kexi City Wall?At that time, those Mongolian soldiers found out that a VIP channel was reserved for them in the west city wall of the capital, wouldn't they be happy?The reason is even stronger.The security of national defense must always be guaranteed.

Before Xue Lian could look at him, the officer in the Beijing camp started yelling.The core content of his yelling is still two words - "cry poor!".He explained: In the capital camp, the most elite warrior camp is paid enough, but they have to guard the imperial palace and the core of the capital, so they cannot move.Only the Tenth Regiment Battalion stationed on the outskirts of the capital can move.But the soldiers of the Tenth Regiment Battalion can only get [-]% of their salary. How can they and their families live in the high-consumption city of the capital?So most of them are engaged in second jobs outside.Now, if you let them stop their second career to do disaster relief, what are they going to eat?Maybe let them and their families go to the porridge field to grab porridge from the victims?However, in the end, the officer still left a tail.He stated that as a people's army with ideals and discipline, as long as he can make up the army's salary, he promises to pull out a disaster relief team with combat effectiveness.This reason is a bit too naked.It can be summed up in eight big characters - people die for money, birds die for food!

In desperation, Xue Lian could only look at the official of the household department, hoping that the household department could squeeze out more disaster relief funds.The official of the household department was not in a hurry. He sacrificed the household department, a Mahayana-level master, preserved in the body, cultivated for thousands of years of power, integrated offense and defense, and the ultimate magic weapon.The name of this magic weapon is very simple, just two words - "No money!".This magic weapon caught Xue Lianlei on the spot.

Here, by the way, I would like to share a little secret with you. The author once had such a treasure. An insurance salesman ran away when he saw it.

The official of the household department secretly thought in his heart: it was given earlier, and the 1 taels of disaster relief money was saved from the household department's teeth.If you have money, what can't you do?If the Shuntian Mansion can't send people, it will spend money to hire people; if the Ministry of Industry can't get craftsmen, it will spend money to hire civilian craftsmen; and the military salary of the Beijing camp can already be made up, so why wait for the officer to come and cry poorly?

Wu Shigong sat in the corner, it was an eye-opener, he enjoyed a national level, the highest level of wrangling performance.And it's top-quality calfskin.Although Wu Shigong had to express his most sincere greetings and understanding to Xue Lian in his heart because he and Xue Lian were son-in-law and they were in the same trench, but Wu Shigong didn't take other things seriously at all.Because today, his role is that of a very clear soy sauce party.

But the problem has to be solved?Several people discussed and discussed, and they came up with a way to continue to raise donations from various princes, nobles, officials and gentry for disaster relief.Seeing that there was no other good way, Xue Lian could only announce the end of the meeting.After the meeting, Xue Lian's face turned pale, and his heart became ruthless. At most, he spent the 9000 taels of silver, and even put in an extra sum of money from his own family. As long as the disaster relief work was made clear, it would be considered a good deed .Xue Lian thought helplessly.

After the officials left, Xue Lian stayed with his staff to continue discussing something.Seeing this, Wu Shigong also got up to leave, when suddenly Xue Lian raised his head and asked him, "Is there any good idea for my son-in-law?"

Just now Wu Shigong was sitting on the sidelines, thinking about his position, and he has already been fascinated.Besides, he didn't know the ins and outs and details of this matter at all, so what could he answer?He is not familiar with disaster relief work, which is done by the People's Liberation Army.It is Wu Shigong's strong point to kill and set fire to create disaster victims.Thus, Wu Shigong bowed his hands and said, "Master Hou, there is nothing my son-in-law can do about it."

After hearing Wu Shigong's answer, Xue Lian didn't have any disappointed expression on his face.It is estimated that he did not have any hope for Wu Shigong to come up with a solution.He waved his hand and let Wu Shigong leave.Then he said to his three aides: "Wait a minute, please trouble the three gentlemen to accompany me to see the situation. The most important thing is to suppress the unrest of the victims..."

Wu Shigong left the study and gradually walked away, not caring what his father-in-law was talking about.Walking halfway, I suddenly remembered: Why didn't I ask my father-in-law before I left, what position did I get?It's also good to prepare yourself mentally.But it's not good to go back and ask now.Forget it, you will always know.

At noon, Xue Lian went out to do errands, and only his mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, had dinner with the young couple.Mrs. Zhang was very kind and kept saying caring words to Wu Shigong.This made Wu Shigong feel a little warm in his heart.As a human being in two lifetimes, Wu Shigong never enjoyed the care of his family, even if he did not put on airs.At this time, Wu Shigong also secretly planted the seeds of caring and caring for his family in his heart. Wu Shigong could have a meal with the whole family on special days such as <Jie, but when he arrived at Xue's house, he naturally sat at the main table, and the whole family could eat together.So, with the status of this son-in-law, has his status been lowered or raised?

At the dinner table, Mrs. Zhang, the mother-in-law, complained to Xue Lian all the time: "It's the first time I have dinner with my daughter and son-in-law, and I have to go out to do errands. Master Hou is too careless in doing things."

Because Wu Shigong, who knew that he was going to get a position, was very happy, and flattered him: "Ma'am, Lord Hou was reused by the court because of his outstanding ability. Besides, the thing of helping the victims is also a great merit, which will benefit our descendants." .”

Sweet talk is what everyone loves to hear.Mrs. Zhang and Xue Yufei both laughed.Especially when she heard the words "blessings and descendants", Mrs. Zhang smiled and looked meaningfully at Xue Yufei's stomach.Sensing her mother's gaze, Xue Yufei's little face turned red.Seeing the small movements of the mother and daughter, Wu Shigong secretly sighed in his heart: "Please! It's not so fast, okay?"
