This year's weather is a bit strange. The flood season is delayed. There is a large area of drought in the north. The money used for disaster relief generally flows out of the national treasury, and soon he is short of money. At this time, Mo Ronglin regrets that he didn't listen to Jia Lanqing's words and gave the 100000 Liang to the north. If he still has it in hand, he can at least save the emergency. Now all the memorials on his desk are complete It's money. It's a headache for him.
Wang Changliang saw the emperor frowning and said, "emperor, why don't you consult with the empress?"
If Wang Changliang didn't mention this, Mo Ronglin had thought of Shi pengpeng for a long time. After all, he married Shi pengpeng for Qian Louzi, a famous historian. But when he got to this point, he felt a little embarrassed. What is it like? It's like a husband who spends all his money outside and goes home to take out his daughter-in-law's little personal silver. It's always a little bad.
But he didn't go to find Shi pengpeng. Shi pengpeng came to find him on his own initiative. He saluted and said to the point, "emperor, there is a drought in the north, and the imperial court can't get money. Why don't you tell me? It's said that beggars are pouring into Lin'an City. "
Mo Ronglin didn't have any good intention at this time. He said with a wry smile, "I'm going to find the queen, but I didn't expect the queen to come. I really want to borrow some money from the queen."
"How much?"
Mo Ronglin opened several memorials on the table one by one. "These are all the memorials that the Ministry of household and the Ministry of industry ask for money. The total amount is about 200000 Liang."
Shi pengpeng took a look at it and said, "there are priorities. If they don't want it, the emperor will give it. Pick up the most important one first."
Mo Ronglin asked, "what does the queen think is the most important thing at present?"
"People's lives."
Shi pengpeng's voice was not big, but he was very firm. When he heard Mo Ronglin's voice, he felt a slight shock, which was the same as what he thought.
Shi pengpeng continued, "at present, the settlement of the victims is the most important. Many counties and cities in the north have inns and restaurants. It should be no problem to open warehouses and distribute porridge to solve the problem of livelihood. As for the water diversion project of the Ministry of work, it can be carried out at the same time. Let's take care of food and shelter and leave the victims in the local area to dig canals for water diversion. On the one hand, they don't have to give up their homes to escape; on the other hand, they have to make a living It also solved the problem of the labor force in digging canals and diverting water. What does the emperor think? "
Jia Lanqing once mentioned this proposal to Mo Ronglin, but he did not have the cost of resettling the victims. Now that Shi pengpeng has put forward it, it is certainly the best.
At the same time, he was also touched. He thought that Shi pengpeng was only interested in making money. He did not expect that she put the lives of the people in the most important position, which made his impression of Shi pengpeng have some changes. Maybe she is not a unscrupulous businessman, but a businessman with conscience and righteousness.
He also said from the bottom of his heart, "thank you for your help. I will keep this kindness in mind."
Shi pengpeng said with a smile, "opening a warehouse to distribute porridge is a good deed. The historian's firm can bear it by itself, but other expenses, even if the emperor borrows from his ministers and concubines, will be paid back in time."
She said to the last word, the ending upward, a little coquettish, Murong Lin heart like a feather, very fast across, an indescribable feeling from the bottom of my heart.
"Of course," he said with a grin, "I won't give you money in vain. I will pay you back."
Shi pengpeng wrote a letter to be sent to Shi Yingying, asking her to contact the merchants in the disaster area to open a warehouse for porridge.
After receiving the letter, Shi Yingying knows that the little emperor has finally reached out to the historian's shop. But it's a natural disaster. Her daughter opens her mouth, and she can't just sit back and take orders. The people of the historian's shop are very efficient. In just a few days, the victims have been properly resettled. The number of victims in Lin'an City is obviously less, and there are few memorials for disaster relief flying to muronglin's desk A little bit.
Mo Ronglin breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows stretched a lot. Sitting in his study, he took out the small black book from the bottom of the desk, turned to the last page, and wrote down the merits of Shi pengpeng. He is a man with clear rewards. His merits and demerits will be recorded truthfully, and his punishment and reward will be the same.
In the following days, Shi pengpeng always came up with some fantastic ideas about disaster relief. He ran to discuss with him, to be exact, with Jia Lanqing. They sat together, drank tea and talked about the feasibility of those methods. After discussing, they looked up at him and waited for the emperor to make a decision.
When they discussed with each other, he mostly didn't mix in, but he would listen up and silently identify with them. When they looked at him, he would pretend to think deeply for a long time. Yu Guangli and Shi pengpeng always kept their eyes wide open and looked forward to waiting, like a little girl waiting to be praised. He couldn't bear to refuse. Of course, he wouldn't refuse because they didn't agree My suggestion is reasonable.
Sometimes, he felt a little strange that the ancestral system of Dongyue was that women in the harem were not allowed to participate in government. However, during this period, Shi pengpeng frequently came to talk about disaster relief, and he didn't feel anything wrong. Probably because she used her money, she was a little short of breath, so he let her go.
Slowly, she came less, and he was not used to it. Just like a minister who often asked about politics, he suddenly said that he was sick and asked for leave, which made him feel that there was one less person in his study. He asked Jia Lanqing, "why doesn't the queen come these days?"Jia Lanqing said with a smile: "emperor, the situation outside is stable now. The measures suggested by the empress have been implemented. Naturally, the empress doesn't have to come."
Mo Ronglin said nothing.
Jia Lanqing joked: "but if the empress doesn't come, the emperor is not used to it?"
Mo Rong Lin light Piao he one eye, "I have what not accustomed to, she is not here, less noisy, but is quiet."
"Does the emperor know how much less money was spent on the relief because of the empress's proposal?"
"How much?"
"It's 50000 Liang," Jia Lanqing said with a happy hand. "Niang Niang is a practical person. She is very careful. She has thought of all the things that I didn't expect. This time, I admire Niang Niang with all my heart. It's a good job, and I still spend less money. If the emperor gives it to the adults of the Ministry of accounts and the Ministry of works, I estimate that it will be 200000 Liang silver It's not enough. "
Mo Ronglin is a little proud. There are not many people who can be praised by Jia Lanqing. In terms of shrewdness and ability, no one can match Shi pengpeng.
Strange to say, what he hated most in the past was Shi pengpeng's ability. But when this ability was applied to him, I felt different immediately. It was a feeling of complacency and pride. It's better to hear Jia Lanqing praise Shi pengpeng than to praise himself.
Jia Lanqing was funny. The emperor probably didn't realize it. He had been sitting there for a long time.
Praise for pengpeng and ask for a monthly ticket for pengpeng!
