Mrs. Prime Minister

Chapter 226 Arriving in Jiangnan (1)
In the end, the person sent by Emperor Qingyuan to accompany Feng Lanjin was not his confidant, but a servant transferred from the household department. This time, Emperor Qingyuan asked the people from the household department to raise 50 taels of silver from the treasury. It is appropriate for a person from the household department to supervise the work.

Therefore, when this news reached Feng Xiaoyou's ears, she was really relieved.

In the final analysis, her death and future life is just a big gamble. If she loses, she will be sent to the cold palace or even lose her life. If she wins, it will be a good start for Feng Lanjin and Feng Lanyue.

Emperor Qingyuan's imperial decree had been issued, and after a day of intense preparations, Emperor Qingyuan simply said some high-sounding words in the court on the second morning, and before the next court, Emperor Qingyuan let Feng Lanjin and Hubu's The waiter set off immediately.

Feng Lanjin had already prepared to salute yesterday, and the mighty 3000 people rushed from the city, and soon the capital was left far behind until it disappeared.

Feng Lanjin couldn't ride a horse because of "leg problems", so a group of officers and soldiers simply escorted 50 taels of silver, so the progress was not too fast, and he would not drag everyone down.

Feng Lanyue pretended to be grown up and followed Feng Lanjin's carriage, marching with the army.Yun Qing, on the other hand, dressed up as Feng Lanjin's staff and rode in the carriage with Feng Lanjin.

When you leave the capital, you go to the official road. The so-called official road is actually the loess road, but it is a little smoother and wider.The road was carefully sprinkled with a layer of loose sand to prevent the horse from slipping.

Yun Qing nodded slightly when she saw it. It seems that the local officials did a good job in this.

The carriage is very spacious but not luxurious, and the decorations inside are mainly comfortable, simple and unadorned, which is also in line with the appearance of going to disaster relief.Yun Qing was sitting in the carriage, raising the curtain to look at the Hubu servant who was riding ahead on a horse. He was not very old, and he looked fair and clean, but he didn't seem like a person who knew martial arts, but when riding a horse, his body But his posture is very vigorous, and it can't be seen that he is still a practicing family.

Yun Qing looked at him properly arranging who should do what, his movements were chic, his speech was neat, especially his pupils could only see a faint brilliance, this person should not be a fool.Thinking of this, Yun Qing laughed. She looked like she was in her 20s or less than 30 years old and had achieved the official position of Minister of the Household Department. Thinking about it, she should know that she is not a fool.

only……

"Why do you think Emperor Qingyuan sent him to accompany you to Jiangnan for disaster relief?" Yun Qing put down the curtain of the car and looked sideways at Feng Lanjin who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Feng Lanjin was looking at the map. Hearing this, he put down the map and chuckled, "He was a Jinshi in Xihe's 44th year. His Majesty intends to use him again."

Yun Qing lamented that it took four years to become a servant of the household department from a Jinshi, which is truly remarkable.You must know that it is easy to say that it is possible to get into an official position, but in fact it is not that simple. Take Yun Chang as an example. He also struggled for more than 20 years before he became a minister of the Ministry of War from a small official in the Ministry of War. This is the reason why His Majesty cares about cultivating it.

It would be very difficult for someone else to have no wealth in the capital.

Not to mention being a Jinshi, usually many champions won the exam, and they are often sent out to various provinces and cities as county magistrates because they have no connections in the capital?And it's not uncommon for people who have worked for more than ten years to get promoted.

"What is his background?"

"No background." Feng Lanjin smiled slightly, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes, "This person's name is Jiang Mo. I heard that he has been very smart since he was a child. He is not a native of the capital, but moved to the capital in advance to take the imperial examination. He lives in the south. His family is very wealthy, and he is very easy-going. Even if he has fame, he is never arrogant. Therefore, he has established a very harmonious relationship with many young nobles in just two years after arriving in the capital. Later, he After becoming a Jinshi, you only need to ask those noble young masters for a little bit, and you will be able to find a good future."

The more Yun Qing heard it, the more solemn her expression became, and she finally had to sigh.

"What a scheming person. I just don't know what kind of intentions Emperor Qingyuan sent him to accompany us this time."

Feng Lanjin thought of the news from the palace last night, his eyes moved slightly, feeling the shaking of the carriage, and said with emotion, "Don't worry, although this person has a deep scheming heart, he is also a person who cares about the country and the people, otherwise even if he No matter how good the interpersonal relationship is, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the current status."

"Yeah." Yun Qing smiled lightly and didn't ask any more questions.

The carriage was not fast, but it was by no means slow. After more than ten days of fast riding, all the accompanying people lost a lot of weight, and their clothes were covered with a layer of earthy color, so they arrived in a hurry. Jiangnan.

The closer to Jiangnan, the more solemn Feng Lanjin's expression became.

Yun Qing is not much better.

Lifting the curtain of the car and looking outside, it is obviously the harvest season, but now the green and yellow locusts are staring at the green rice seedlings, gnawing the original green tender seedlings into green and yellow, looking around, there are large expanses of rice fields They are floating gently.The floating was not because of the wind, but because too many locusts were lying on the leaves, causing the leaves to be overwhelmed and crumbling.

Not only that, even the towering trees on both sides of the official road were covered with locusts at this time. Looking up, it seemed that none of the leaves on the whole tree were intact, and only the sound of insects could be heard.

Yun Qing's heart sank suddenly.

Not only Yun Qing and Feng Lanjin, but all the accompanying people became more and more silent. Originally, when they entered the inn at night, there would be soldiers who had acquainted with each other, talking and laughing together, but now seeing such a scene, everyone They looked at each other with the same worry in their eyes.

Jiang Mo's complexion also darkened. He himself is a southerner, and he used to have a lot of fertile fields in the area. He knows exactly what such a plague of locusts means.

Few people appeared in the suburbs, especially when they saw such a large group of soldiers who could not see the end, they dared not come out. During the period, because the news that Feng Lanjin came to rescue the disaster, some bandits knew that the soldiers escorted them. It was all silver, so there were a few small turbulences along the way.It's just that Jiang Mo quickly smoothed things over, and Feng Lanjin didn't even show up.

At this time, the people of the people thought of the news from the capital, and all of them looked at Feng Lanjin and his party with changed eyes, with vague anticipation.

After arriving at the destination, local officials in official uniforms greeted them at the gate of the city. People were standing on both sides of the road. The people looked sad and happy when they saw Feng Lanjin and his party arrive.Waving his hands, he lined the road to welcome.

The officials from the south of the Yangtze River gathered together at this time, and dozens of people walked in the front. The one in the front of the officials was an official in a light purple official uniform. He saw Feng Lanjin being pushed down from the carriage by someone in a wheelchair. He didn't have any surprises either.
