After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 203 Heqing Drought
Wanniang didn't know what she was regretting, and she didn't care. After watching the people get into the carriage and leave the Red Street, she ordered the servant girl to grind the ink, drafted the letter herself, and asked the servant girl to send it to the houses of several dignitaries.

Back then, she spent a lot of money to train those oirans, and spent a lot of time trying to connect them, so that they could win the favor of the rich and powerful, break away from the quagmire of the Red Street, and truly reborn and become a master from then on.

Even after they entered the mansion, when they were in trouble and wrote letters for help, she did not hesitate to help them.

Wanniang thought, now it's time for them to repay.

As usual, Yunzhuo went back to Wotang residence at night through a dog hole.

Hongxiu saw her own girl's demeanor with her own eyes today, and even though she couldn't talk to her, she was still overwhelmed by her.

"Girl, you are amazing!" She waited on Yun Zhuo to wash up, and at the end, she couldn't help but say.

Yun Zhuo smiled in surprise: "Didn't the negotiation fail in the end? What's so great about it?"

Hong Xiu shook his head, but couldn't tell why for a moment.After a while, she figured it out. She felt that Yun Zhuo could calmly negotiate terms with Wanniang in such a place, because when she faced Wanniang, she was only full of embarrassment.

"Then are you sure?" Hearing what she said, Hongxiu couldn't help becoming worried again, "Why don't you go and find Mr. Xie?"

Yun Zhuo shook his head: "No."

Although I don't know why Xie Jie wants to act with her in a script that is gone, but since he has accepted this setting, it is useless for her to go to him.

Yes, Yun Zhuo has realized that Xie Jie was cheating on her back then.

Although she was indeed emptied of power because of Wen Lu's suspicion of Xie Jie's power as chief assistant, there was something wrong with Xie Jie's frank admission.It's just that at that time Yun Zhuo was thinking that Xie Jie was not easy, so he ignored it.But fortunately, looking back now, I still saw through his tricks.

"It's not a big deal, it's the same to find someone else." Yun Zhuo said.

The next day, she went to Zheng's mansion, told Zheng Suqing to check Mrs. Liang, and then met Zheng Jianjun again.

Zheng Jianjun was feeding the birds. Seeing her coming, he asked his servants to lift the bird cage down, and said first, "I've heard about everything from Ah Qing. I thought she had something on her mind and wanted you to spend more time with her. Thinking that there is such a secret behind this. Thank you so much."

Yun Zhuo smiled and said: "Your Majesty Zheng, you are welcome. I have something to ask, and I would like to ask Master Zheng to clarify."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Jianjun asked.

"I heard that there was a severe drought in Heqing, and the villagers had no crops. Do you know about this?"

Yun Zhuo didn't know about this until early in the morning.

Before she went out once, she met a little beggar who was being beaten on the road.

The little beggar was dressed in tatters, and his face and body were also dirty, except for one pair of eyes that were bright.

Yun Zhuo is not a nosy person, but he asked Hong Xiu to find out the whole story that day.

It turned out that the little beggar was caught by the owner of the bun shop and taught him a lesson because he stole a meat bun from the bun shop.

With the idea of ​​doing good deeds every day, Yun Zhuo ordered Hongxiu to help the little beggar deposit money, and bought him a basket of buns before returning to the carriage.

I don't know how the little beggar got to know her identity. From then on, he squatted outside Yunfu every day, and kept saying that he wanted to repay Yunzhuo.

Yun Zhuo didn't know how to express that she didn't need any repayment. After all, no matter what she said, the little beggar refused to listen to her at first, and insisted on doing something for her.

Yun Zhuo had no choice but to ask him to come to Yun Mansion every morning to report the information he had collected.

Today, the news collected by the little beggar included the severe drought in Heqing.

Those who are most familiar with a city are often the people at the bottom.They know every street in the city, and every house on the street.What was missing in the city, or what was added, could not be hidden from their eyes.

Heqing suffered a severe drought, and a small number of refugees flooded into Kyoto. The people who have the most intuitive experience in this matter are the beggars on the streets of Kyoto.

Zheng Jianjun naturally knew about it, but he didn't expect Yun Zhuo's news to be so well-informed, but thinking of Xie Jie who was "sick in bed", Zheng Jianjun felt that nothing was impossible.

"I know, what's wrong?" Zheng Jianjun asked her.

Yun Zhuo said: "There are already refugees in Kyoto, and the emperor will know about it soon. The national treasury was short of money a year ago, so the method of allocating funds for disaster relief may not be very effective?"

"There have been precedents before. When the national treasury is short of money, and when there are major livelihood issues such as drought and floods, officials from the DPRK and China will make donations out of their own pockets."

Yun Zhuo nodded: "I see, thank you Mr. Zheng."

Three days later, the Heqing drought was reported to the emperor by the officials of the household department at the court, and two days later, after local coordination and Kyoto coordination, the scope of the severe drought and the affected population were finally determined.

On the third day, the emperor mentioned this matter in the Golden Luan Hall: "Since I took the throne, I have seen the hard work of all the ministers, and I know that this country depends on the support of the ministers. Now Heqing University Drought, I hope that all the ministers will work together to overcome the difficulties. Now that the national treasury is suffering serious losses, I wonder which of the ministers has a solution?"

Although the civil and military officials in the court each have their own political stances, they are still very united at this time, crying poor one after another.

This said that a month's salary is only so little, everyone is a middle-aged man who has to support his family, where can he save money?Although everyone was heartbroken by the severe drought in Heqing, they were really powerless; what's the point of those honest officials who immediately said that they would cut leeks and cut them off?There are so many wealthy businessmen in the world, why not take a long-term view?

The emperor felt very tired.

He knew that cutting leeks was a huge project that could not be completed in a day, so after everyone in the palace sold out, he kicked this problem to the Ministry of Finance, and then announced his retirement.

Yunhuan felt very worried.

Although he didn't like Xie Jie very much, but at this time he began to miss Xie Jie sincerely.

After all, if Xie Jie was here this morning, this hot potato would definitely not fall into his hands.

He sighed, and returned to Yunfu very sadly.

Yun Zhuo soon got the news, she tidied it up, asked Hong Xiu to pack up the useless and expensive ornaments in the house one by one, took them to a pawn shop and pawned 3000 taels of silver, and then asked Hong Xiu to give the 3000 taels of silver to Yunhuan sent it over.

Yunhuan only thought it was her wish, and accepted it without saying anything.It was only later that I heard about her pawn sale, and with a big wave of my hand, the servants brought many things from the warehouse to her, such as corals as tall as a person, sapphire screens, everything.
