Chapter 178
"That's why I asked you to pay attention!" Wang said: "You are a woman, you should be more reserved and pay attention to your reputation! Even if you have such thoughts, you can't appear to be in a rush."

"Er Niang, I, I don't want to go anymore!" Zhao Furong blushed.

Zongbing Zhao frowned and said: "Did you say that about your daughter? Our two families have always been close. The children have grown up together since childhood. Now Mingxuan and Tongtong are not at home, and Furong is also visiting her sister-in-law. It should."

"Do you know that there are already gossips outside!" Mrs. Wang glared at Zongbing Zhao again, and said, "There are too many people in Yangzhou who want Mingxuan to be their son-in-law! Now my sister-in-law has rejected the matchmaker. Otherwise Ah, the threshold can be broken through! Look, when Mingxuan Chunwei comes back next year, there will be more matchmakers! So, our daughter should not go up. Even if we have this intention, we will wait for Mingxuan to come back next year. Go to the door again!"

"Who is so full and has nothing to do and gossip!" Zhao Zongbing said with a sullen face: "You women and Taoists are always at odds with each other. People who have nothing to do at all will make some troubles!"

"Hey, let's talk about things, talk about women!" Wang was not happy to listen, and said: "Anyway, just a word, from now on, Furong is not allowed to go to the Garrison Mansion alone! Unless I am with you."

"Yes, my daughter knows." Zhao Furong replied quickly.She didn't want her A Ma and Er Niang to quarrel over this matter.

"Alright." Zong Bing Zhao also nodded and said, "Furong is getting older, so I will learn how to manage the house from your mother-in-law at home, so as not to be looked down upon when I come to my in-law's house."

"Yes." The blush on Zhao Furong's face never faded.

After returning from losing the election, Ama and Er Niang were showing her husband's house.Just looking at it now, I didn't pick a favorite.

She, Ama and Erniang, must have taken a fancy to her, but others looked down on their family a little bit.People like their family, but she, Ama and Erniang, don't like it.So there are some highs and lows.

Let's talk about the prince and the eighth master.The two went to the prefect of Jinan together.

Since the county magistrate had already received a tip-off, the prefect of Jinan made preparations and was not panicked by the arrival of the two.Speaking of disaster relief is also straightforward.

"The prince and the eighth master, because of the wide range of disasters this time, the statistics made by the officials have not been collected. In general, there are three aspects. One is to register the damaged houses so that Unified repairs, or direct subsidies for money; the second is the total number of homeless people, so that daily rations can be distributed according to the number, and temporary resettlement sites can be built to prevent them from sleeping on the streets; the third is to count the damaged fields , to know the general situation of next year's harvest."

"Hearing what the magistrate said, the various matters of disaster relief have been carried out in an orderly manner." The prince said.

"These are also the regulations of the past years to follow. I just adjusted it in due course according to the disaster situation." The prefect of Jinan said modestly.

"But as far as I know, those states and counties of yours don't seem to implement this." The prince said.

"It stands to reason that the order has been issued a long time ago. It is probably due to the bad weather, and some remote counties have not received the order." The prefect of Jinan explained.

"Oh! Do you really think that Gu and the eighth brother are blind all the way?" The prince suddenly sneered, his voice raised a bit, and said: "Gu will give you another chance, what is the situation now! If you If you refuse to tell the truth, this magistrate, you don’t even want to do it!”

"My minister's words are all the truth, and the crown prince and the eighth master are welcome to check it out!" The prefect of Jinan did not change his words at all, and still insisted.

"Okay!" The prince suddenly smiled, and said, "If what you're telling is the truth, then I'll ask you why you can see a large number of disaster victims homeless and throwing their corpses into the wilderness when you enter SD territory? Why are you alone? Randomly ask the common people, and they all say that they have not received the rations from the imperial court? Some prefectures and counties have porridge sheds set up by the government, and some don’t even have porridge sheds! Is this what you mean by doing a good job in disaster relief?”

The prince thought that the prefect of Jinan would be flustered by what he said.Unexpectedly, he said with a calm expression: "I have indeed tried my best! I am afraid that some counties below have limited financial resources, so they cannot help more victims."

"What about the money allocated by the imperial court?" the prince asked.

"Wei Chen has not issued yet." The prefect of Jinan replied.

"Why?" the prince asked again.

"Weichen must wait for the data reports from various places to come up, and then dial according to the actual situation of each place." Jinan prefect replied.

What he said was reasonable, and the prince could not refute it for a while.He was choked.

At this time, Ba Ye said: "As far as I know, the weather was good last year, and the harvests in various places were good. The harvest in SD was 3% higher than in previous years. In addition, because of the flood three years ago, Huang Ama ordered to save Three years of taxation. Although this year's snowstorm is severe, the imperial court has already asked you to prepare in advance. It stands to reason that even if the money allocated by the imperial court has not yet arrived, so many victims of the disaster should not be relieved and resettled! "

This made the Jinan magistrate's eyes flash, and he hurriedly said: "Although the harvest in the past two years is not bad, the flood three years ago also suffered heavy losses, and it's just that he has just recovered. The situation is not as bad as Ba Ye said optimism."

"Oh? Is that so? The magistrate wants me to report to you all your harvests and tax exemptions for the past three years?" Eighth Master said coldly.

At this time, the face of the prefect of Jinan showed a little panic, and his forehead began to sweat.

The prince glanced at Ba Ye, but he didn't expect him to say such words.

"I advise the magistrate to think clearly before answering! Some fortunes can be made, but some fortunes will be lost!" Eighth Master said again.

"What I said is true." The prefect of Jinan bite the bullet and said.At this moment, even if he wanted to tell the truth, he couldn't.At this point, there is no turning back.

Seeing that he was still holding on, Ba Ye didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore.These corrupt officials don't shed tears until they see the coffin.

The prince also noticed it now, and said with a sneer: "In this case, the magistrate should not be afraid to check here. Tomorrow, you will accompany Gu and the eighth brother to take a good look at the disaster relief situation in your area. .”

"Yes, I will accompany you." The prefect of Jinan hurriedly said.

That night, the prince and the eighth master did not accept the invitation of the prefect of Jinan to live in the prefect's office, but found an inn to rest.

After dinner in the evening, the two discussed in the room.

"Eighth brother, the magistrate is not allowed to enter. It seems that we have to investigate secretly." The prince said.

"It's good to scare the snake today. Just to see what's going on with him." Ba Ye said.

"Well, let some guards go and have a look tonight." The prince nodded.

"Yes." Eighth Master nodded in agreement.
