Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 548 Excuse me?

"If we can't hide it, we're all doomed!" Mr. Yu said sullenly.

"My lord, we don't have to hide it!" The master suddenly whispered.

"What do you mean?" Master Yu frowned.

"What about that person?" The master pouted in the direction of the guest room.

Master Yu didn't speak for a while, but his thoughtful expression obviously listened to what the master said.

"What the master said is true. Everyone has weaknesses. Maybe we can get an ally. Although it is difficult to hide this matter, it is not impossible." An aide stood up and said.

"How to hide it?" Master Yu asked.

Deliberately concealing and not reporting the news is enough for him to drink a pot.Not to mention that so many victims escaped.If the capital knew the news, there must have been disaster victims running over.The so-called concealment is actually deceiving themselves.

"Let's just say that we didn't hide it on purpose and didn't report it. It's just that we made things simple. We thought that the disaster would not be too serious and we could solve it ourselves. Besides, the emperor is in Chengde. We are afraid of delays on the way back and forth, so we just Get out the disaster relief regulations first." The staff said.

"But we didn't provide disaster relief at all!" Mr. Ding said.

"How can you say no, sir? Didn't we open a porridge shed? Didn't we distribute subsidy money to the people?" the staff said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Master Ding slapped his head and said, "This official has forgotten these things."

Although the porridge shed has only been open for two days, it cannot be maintained, and the subsidy money does not know whose pocket it falls into.But these things have indeed been done.There are also records in the Yamen.

"The reason why we failed to control the disaster is because we underestimated the severity of the disaster. We have been working hard to find ways to rescue the disaster. We didn't deliberately hide it from the court, but it was delayed." The staff said again.

"But I didn't write the memorial." Master Ding was a little frustrated this time.

"Isn't there that one? If he can do his job well, just put a memorial in the Beijing Central Report. At that time, he can push it to the official who sent the report. It was he who missed it, which delayed the matter. .” The master said from the side.

Master Ding's eyes lit up, and said: "This is a way."

"Speaking of a thousand words and ten thousand, the most important thing now is to figure out who that is." The staff said.

"That's right! If you want to bring him onto our boat, you have to promise benefits and do what you like! But now we don't know anything about this great thousand-year-old." Master Ding said with a frown.

"Maybe my lord's friends in Beijing can help?" asked the aide.

Those who can be a big member of one party have somewhat of a backer in Beijing.Master Ding is no exception.

"But I'm writing a letter back to Beijing now. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the time." Mr. Ding said worriedly.

"Your Excellency can find out about that person tomorrow. If you really come here on business, you will definitely not leave in a day or two. If that person is really loose, you can hold him back on the day when your lord sends a letter to Beijing." .” said the staff member.

"Then what if he doesn't mean that? He's here on business?" Ding Daren said.

"Then find a way to keep him from being investigated." The aide said: "It doesn't matter if he is an imperial envoy, this is the territory of the adults."

Master Ding thought for a while, and said: "Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will first probe into the situation." The black gauze hat on his head did not come easily. If this matter is dealt with this time, let alone the black gauze hat, If you don't do it well, you will lose your head.

Several people discussed for a while, and they didn't leave until late at night.In the guest room, the elder brother fell asleep and snored.It can be said that he has been traveling all the way, and it can be said that he has not been able to sleep well after returning to Beijing from Chengde.

In the early morning of the second day, Eldest Brother woke up and had breakfast, and heard that Master Ding asked to see him.

"Let him in." The elder brother said lightly.

"The lower officials have met Da Qiantui. Did Da Qiantui rest well last night?" Master Ding said with a smile on his face.

"Not bad." Elder brother said: "Master Ding came just in time, I was looking for you on something."

"Please tell me." Mr. Ding said hastily.

"I saw a lot of fleeing people on the way here, and they spoke with your accent. The fields along the road were also dry and deserted. It seems that there was a disaster. But why didn't you show it to Beijing?" brother asked.

"I'm ashamed to say this." Mr. Ding said what he had discussed with his staff last night.

"Oh, it turned out to be such a delay." Eldest brother didn't change his expression much, he just nodded and asked again: "Then what are you going to do now? Let these victims be displaced?"

"The lower officials are thinking of a way, and they are also preparing to present to Beijing, asking the imperial court to allocate some food." Master Ding said calmly.

"You said that all the grain in the granary was used for disaster relief?" Big Brother asked.

"Yes. The lower officials have opened warehouses for disaster relief since they discovered the disaster. The counties below have also asked them to open porridge sheds, and each victim can receive two bowls of gruel every day." Ding Daren said: "This is a natural disaster. , I can’t do anything about it. I hoped that it would rain in a few days, and the grain in the field could be saved. I didn’t expect it to be dry for so long.”

Eldest Brother saw that Mr. Ding spoke in a high-sounding manner, and the fire in his heart suddenly flared up.But he still said calmly: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Ding seems to be Suo Xiang's disciple, right?"

Mr. Ding trembled in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "That's right. Xiaguan Chunwei was Suoxiang who was the examiner that year. However, Xiaguan has been released all these years, and Suoxiang probably doesn't remember Xiaguan at all. "

"Lord Ding is also a member of one party now, so Suo Xiang should remember." Eldest elder brother meant something.

Master Ding groaned inwardly, sweating a little on his forehead.

"Crack!" With a sound, Master Ding was taken aback, his legs subconsciously softened, and he knelt down on the ground.

"Master Ding, what's wrong?" Eldest brother said with a surprised face, "I just made the teacup a little heavier by accident."

"Ah, the lower officials are timid." Master Ding slowly stood up again with an embarrassed expression on his face.

A sneer flashed in the elder brother's eyes, but his tone was still flat and he said: "I just heard what Mr. Ding said, it is justifiable for you to get this field under your rule, it's not because you did it intentionally, right?"

"That's right, what Da Qiantose said is true." Master Ding nodded hurriedly.

"Since the Lord came to investigate under Huang Ama's order, I can't listen to your one-sided words. Let's go, let me see if there is really no grain of rice in your granary!" The elder brother got up and said.

Master Ding looked relieved, and hurriedly said: "Your officer will lead the way for Da Qiantui." He really wasn't afraid to check the granary.He is different from Shandong.He didn't stockpile food, but paid for it in advance.Except for the rations of the people in the government office, the granary is really empty.

　Third more.
