The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 952
Although Zhou Gan arranged for people he trusted to go to the disaster relief as he wished, Zhou Gan was still in a bad mood.After finishing his political affairs, Zhou Gan came to Fengyi Palace and complained in front of Xiao Mingyu. "How dare those people, I really want to kill them. One by one, I dare not do anything to them, and all of them put their noses in the face, it is simply unreasonable."

He hammered the table fiercely, venting the anger in his heart.

Xiao Mingyu rubbed the center of his brows, "Your Majesty, you don't need to care about this, anger hurts your body, and your body is the most important thing."

"How can I not be angry. Those are my people, not those who are officials, and they naturally don't care. What they care about is their official position, their own family property, and their children and grandchildren. To the common people, they have a little Compassionate heart. When I think about the current situation and the lives of the victims, I want to start the killing ring and let these people know what an official is."

"Your majesty must not be impulsive." In Xiao Mingyu's view, Zhou Gan was not just venting his anger.Becoming an emperor also channeled out Zhou Gan's hidden tyrannical genes.Xiao Mingyu felt that it was inappropriate to kill people at every turn.Things in the world cannot be solved only by killing people.Killing people only revealed the incompetence and cruelty of the emperor, and it was a temporary solution rather than a cure. The existing problems would not disappear just because of the death of a person.Basically, it is a system problem.

Xiao Mingyu reassured Zhou Qian, "Relax your majesty, I have already sent a letter to Feng Changgen. He is in the south, and I asked him to buy a batch of grain and send it to the disaster area. At this time, I want to prevent profiteers from driving up prices and make the disaster victims feel uncomfortable. To make matters worse. Since this is the case, we will transport grain by ourselves to stabilize prices. However, in doing so, we will definitely encounter resistance from all directions. At that time, the emperor will need the support of policies. It is best to make a decree, who dares to take advantage of the opportunity to drive up prices in the disaster area If you hoard grain and don’t sell it, you should be dealt with some kind of severe punishment. The second uncle also wants to remind you that it’s best to make an example to others, so that everyone can see the court’s determination on this matter, so that all grain merchants should not take chances psychology."

Zhou Gan calmed down, "You're right, I really should make a decree to punish profiteers without mercy. Officials who do not act and officials who make money and get rich should be severely punished. Once found, they will be punished immediately. Dismissed, sent to the capital, and handed over to the third division for disposal."

Xiao Mingyu nodded, "Since the emperor has calmed down, why don't we discuss the details together."

Zhou Qian looked at Xiao Mingyu, "I was impulsive just now, so I didn't scare you."

Xiao Mingyu shook his head, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not that fragile."

Zhou Gan smiled wryly, "Ming Yu, how much help can you give me?" After a pause, he said mockingly, "I'm really sad, this is a major national issue, but I need your personal help."

Xiao Mingyu smiled proudly, "Who made me a rich woman. Besides, we are husband and wife, and the emperor has difficulties. As a wife, I will naturally try my best to help. Feng Changgen's side can probably raise nearly 100 million taels of food. But there may be a gap, because Once Feng Changgen buys a large amount of grain, someone will inevitably drive up the price. In addition to the loss on the road, perhaps [-]% of the grain will be gone by the time the grain is transported to the disaster area."

"It's not bad to have [-]% left over. I estimate that the remaining [-]% of the food delivered by the imperial court will fall into the hands of the victims. That is extremely clean." After finishing speaking, Zhou Gan laughed at himself again.

Xiao Mingyu also said that she planned to come forward and organize the noble ladies in the capital to solicit donations.Of course, this kind of fundraising is beneficial, and Xiao Mingyu will give an honor to those who participated in the fundraising in the name of the queen, especially those with relatively large amounts of money.For example, Madam Gaoming.Xiao Mingyu reminded Zhou Qian that this move would definitely cause criticism in the court at that time, and hoped that Zhou Qian would be prepared.It is best to resolve the predicament, turn passivity into initiative, and let the courtiers follow suit to raise donations.

Zhou Qian and Xiao Mingyu discussed the details of the donation, and then acted separately.

Two days later, Xiao Mingyu collectively summoned a dozen wives.When everyone was talking, Xiao Mingyu showed a look of distress.The eldest cousin Pang, who was invited to be a trustee, asked Empress Xiao why she was worried, but what troubled her.You might as well say it out, everyone will give advice, maybe they can solve the problem for Empress Xiao.

Xiao Mingyu sighed faintly, and talked about Emperor Zhou Gan, who couldn't eat these days, and had to deal with political affairs until late at night.As a queen, she was naturally worried for the emperor.Knowing that it was because of disaster relief, I thought about taking out my private house.It's just that as a queen, her private house is also limited.After all, Xiao Mingyu's obvious property is just the dowry.As a result, this little money is just a drop in the bucket for disaster relief.

Immediately, Pang said that she would donate money to help the queen solve her problems.

Xiao Mingyu was very happy and said that everyone should not be allowed to do good deeds in vain.In the name of the queen, she will reward anyone who donates money for disaster relief.Donors are not limited to ladies or well-known ladies.If famous ladies also come to donate, Xiao Mingyu would like to say that he can protect the media, or personally praise him to help his reputation to a higher level.

This person lives in this world, especially these noble ladies, what he pays attention to is not being decent.As soon as I heard that donating some money will have such benefits, how can everyone be left behind.However, this amount still needs to be considered, and it must not exceed the empress.

Xiao Mingyu smiled lightly, and said cheerfully that she would give 10 taels from her private house to help the imperial court relieve the disaster.But this money will not be handed over to the court, because of fear of being corrupted.In the name of the queen, Xiao Mingyu organized people to arrange disaster relief. The amount of money donated by each person will be recorded, and people will record the use of each sum of money. The ledger will be sent every half a month, so that everyone can see it at a glance.In a word, we can't spoil everyone's love.

The ladies said they didn't need it, they all believed in Empress Xiao.Xiao Mingyu was very determined, she must do this.In fact, this is also preparing for the establishment of an audit by Zhou Qian.This is the method that Xiao Mingyu and Zhou Gan discussed together.

For the amount of donation, Xiao Mingyu contributed 10 taels, but Pang said that he was not as rich as Xiao Mingyu, so she donated 2 taels in her own name.With these two people as examples, the noble lady will have a score in her heart.It can't be more than Xiao Mingyu's queen, but it can't be less than Pang's.After all, there are several daughter-in-laws in the Han family, and each daughter-in-law contributes money, which together is a large sum of money.

Some offered thirty thousand, some fifty thousand, and some only ten thousand.Xiao Mingyu said that no matter how much it is, it is a love, and she will keep it in her heart.

The money donated by more than a dozen noble ladies was put together, plus the 10 taels from Xiao Mingyu, the total amount was nearly 40 taels.This was beyond Zhou Qian's expectation.

The subsequent situation was also unexpected by Zhou Qian.The news of everyone donating money spread, and many people were tempted.This is an opportunity to show your face in front of the queen.In the past, when I was looking for an opportunity to hook up with the empress, I almost couldn't find it. I spent countless money, and I didn't even say a word to the empress.Now that an opportunity is coming to your door, you only need to pay a little money, and you can get the empress's attention, how can you not do such a good deal.
