Chapter 1231

The sun in midsummer is like a big ball of fire, shining on the earth hotly, as if to emit all the heat. The leaves on the roadside trees are all rolled in the sun, and a few sparrows standing on the trees are listless.

Yurong shook her fan and said, "this weather is really killing!"

Red flower said: "madam, don't add another bowl of ice!" the weather is too hot, but Yu Rong, who began to economize, also put a bowl of ice in the house.

Yurong shook her head and said, "this ice is so expensive. I don't want it. You'll have two buckets of well water, and I'll wash my face. " It's getting hotter and hotter. The price of ice has tripled, and it's going to keep rising.

There are two wells in the house, one in the front yard and one in the back yard. The well in the front yard is for the servants of the government. The well in the back yard is for Yurong, Yizheng and Mr. Gao's family.

After washing his face, he wiped his body and changed his clothes, which made Yurong feel more relaxed. Before his ass was hot, he heard Hongyin say that Yizheng was back.

Yurong met his son and asked, "why is it a holiday today?" I studied with my husband in a private school. His predecessor was a Bachelor of the Academy. He was very talented. There were not many people in the private school, only nine. It's not only because he learned politics well, but also because he received the favor of Jiang Wenrui.

Yizheng said: "the refugees are making trouble in the West Street. One of my classmates happened to pass by and was injured. I'm afraid that something will happen again, so I'll give us a holiday. "

Yurong said, "I said before that if I let these refugees into the city, sooner or later something will happen." As she had expected, something happened.

Yizheng said, "Mom, I went to see Grandpa Gao." He has to tell Grandpa Gao about it.

Half an hour later, Mr. Gao came to see Yurong. Seeing Yurong, Mr. Gao said: "madam, I'm afraid that the capital will not be peaceful in this period of time. People in the mansion should try not to go out if they can't! "

Yu Rong asked unexpectedly, "is it so serious? Are there so many officers and soldiers in the city who can't deal with these refugees? "

Mr. Gao shook his head and said: "it's not only the refugees' problem, but now the food is too expensive for ordinary people to afford. In this case, I'm afraid there will be trouble again. " There was a scramble for food stores last year, which is much worse than last year.

"Listen, sir," said Yurong After a pause, Yurong said with some heart, "Sir, do you want to sell all the food we have saved?" This year's drought hit the capital, but it's not serious. It's about 20-30% off. The 800 mu of Yurong also receives more than 200000 Jin of grain. New grain for old grain. Now the grain in the grain depot is the grain stored last year.

As soon as Mr. Gao heard this, he knew that Yurong wanted to make a profit. He didn't object to it, but said: "madam, according to this trend, the grain will definitely rise. Even if we want to sell food, we have to sell it later. "

"Yurong said with a smile," let's sell later! " Not to mention the grain in the cellar, that is, the grain stored in this house is enough for them to eat for three or five months.

Mr. Gao saw this and said, "madam, we can only sell grain to those big grain shops, but we can't sell it ourselves." The price of selling to grain shops must be lower, but it's safe.

Yurong just wanted to make a profit, but she didn't dare to take risks: "this is what Mr. Gao arranged." To Mr. Gao, she is very relieved.

Smash, scam, abduct, snatch, similar things emerge in endlessly, making the whole capital panic. This, of course, shocked Yan matchless.

Su Shan, the commander of the forbidden army, said: "emperor, it's no longer suitable for exiles to enter Beijing. Otherwise, there will be only more such incidents. " He wants to get rid of all the exiles he put in. But Yan Wushuang didn't speak, and he couldn't speak.

Yan Wushuang thought about it and agreed with Su Shan's suggestion. In addition, he set out an area in the north for the migrants to live in.

Lord Gan, Minister of the Ministry of war, said that we could not let the refugees enter the city, but we could not ignore them. We must provide them with food, and then advise them to return home. Otherwise, if so many refugees rioted outside, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yan matchless nodded his head and said, "you are right. The refugees outside the city should be settled."

Geng, the Minister of the Ministry of household, complained that the State Treasury had run out of money, and it was a big expense to settle the refugees. He did not know where to find the money.

After discussing this matter, Yan Wushuang ordered tiekui to lead his soldiers to build huts outside the city for the victims to stay temporarily. In addition, we need to place these victims and maintain public security.

Tiekui took the order, his face as black as the bottom of the pot. Yan Wushuang, the son of a bitch, even asked a second-class general of Yan Wushuang to settle the refugees.

The eunuch who sent the message was a little nervous. He left the barracks without even asking for a reward and went back to Beijing.

When the eunuch reported this, Meng Nian was present. After hearing this, Meng Nian frowned and said, "tiekui is too presumptuous. The emperor asked him to settle the refugees, but he didn't want to." In Meng Nian's eyes, the following people should be as loyal to Yan Wudi as he is.

Yan Wushuang said, "I'm afraid it's because of Pingdingshan, which makes him worry." He doesn't care if tekui thinks much, as long as he does his job well.

Meng Nian snorted, "if you want to die, you have to die. But those who let him kill Pingdingshan dare to complain. No wonder the Emperor didn't trust him before. "

Yan matchless said: "if everyone is like you, I don't have to work so hard." After a pause, Yan Wushuang said, "let's not talk about him. What's the situation in the northwest?"

Meng Nian said: "the news that Yunqing destroyed the northern captivity came back to pick city two days later, pick City cancelled the martial law.". Emperor, will our previous plan be implemented? "

"Yan matchless way:" no, now this situation or not to provoke Han Yuxi Once the woman got angry, she didn't know what to do.

Meng Nian thought about it and said, "emperor, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei and other places have also suffered disasters. Emperor, their life is not better than ours. "

Yan Wushuang said, "you have left out the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River. These two places have a good harvest this year." Compared with him, Han Yuxi will be much more relaxed.

The two were talking about something. Duke Min said outside, "the emperor, the lady of the imperial concubine asks for an interview."

Nothing, Yuchen will not come to the imperial study. Yan Wushuang said, "please come in."

Jade Chen even wore a plain blue Palace Dress, outside dressed in Qi Luo Cui soft yarn. There is a jasper and exquisite hairpin on the head, which is decorated with thin silver beads and tassels. Even if it has been more than 30 years old, it is still like coagulating fat and opening lotus. I can't open my eyes.

But no matter how beautiful people see it, they won't feel too much. Yan Wushuang asked, "what's the matter when the imperial concubine comes to the Royal study?"

Yu Chen said, "I heard that the refugees were not satisfied with food. I want to do my best." Yuchen wants to call on the imperial concubines in the capital to donate money to the victims outside.

Yan matchless nods and agrees. The donation of the female family member must be limited, but it can be used to call on all officials of civil and military affairs to donate together. Yan Wushuang said, "I'm very glad that your concubine has such a heart. Meng Nian can help you with this!"

"Yuchen said respectfully," yes! " This shows that Yan is matchless.

Out of the Royal study, mother GUI asked in a low voice, "Niang, what did the emperor say?" If the emperor agrees, it is also a honor and merit for the imperial concubine to take the lead in calling on the ladies to donate money.

Jade Chen nodded: "the emperor has agreed."

Back at Zhanghua palace, Yuchen wrote a post to invite the ladies of officials of Beijing Siping and above to the banquet. She didn't hide it either. The Post said directly that the party was mainly to raise money for disaster relief.

After all the posts were sent out, Yuchen asked people to pick up the account book of the warehouse, and then chose many things from it.

Tiekui's wife, Xiao, also received an invitation. Taking the post, Xiao went to the front yard to find tie Kui: "master, how much do you think it's appropriate for us to donate then?" This is a party to raise money for disaster. She can't go without it.

Tiekui didn't think of a cent of silver, but he also knew that if he didn't donate, he would not be able to: "how much others donate, how much we also donate."

Xiao is a little embarrassed: "isn't it appropriate?" Who doesn't know that their daweng caravans and shops are growing fast. Even now, their business is booming. If you give the same amount as others, will you not be called a miser.

Tiekui was not happy: "what's wrong? If others want to say it, let them say it. "

Xiao was not quite right when he saw it. He asked, "master, is something wrong?" As a wife, who can not know who his husband is. My husband is not mean. He doesn't help those subordinates who live in poverty. This time, it's a bit unusual.

"Nothing," tiekui said

Xiao thought about it and said, "master, how about we donate a thousand liang?" Like other people, this is not a good thing to grasp.

Tiekui said, "one thousand two is one thousand two, no more."

Xiao nodded and said, "OK."

At this time, Zhong Shantong has something to report. Xiao didn't interfere in the affairs outside, and immediately went back to the backyard.

Zhong Shantong looked at tie Kui's face and said, "master, it's already like this. It's useless to be angry again."

Tie Kui snorted: "Yan Wushuang now comes up with a new pattern and calls on everyone to donate money to the victims. I'm afraid this time, I'm going to bleed a lot more. " Han Yuchen's call for donations is just a cover. How much can the family members donate. Yan Wushuang's goal is not only the civil and military officials in the imperial court, but also the rich businessmen in the capital. And he has a reputation. He can't do without donating 35000 Liang.

It's not that tiekui is not willing to help these refugees, but rather than donate this money to Yan Wushuang, it's better to exchange it for food and send it out of the city. But he was just thinking about it, but he didn't have the courage to do it. Otherwise, Yan Wushuang can't spare him. I didn't wait for Yunqing to lead his soldiers into the capital. I'm afraid he has been killed by Yan Wushuang.

Zhong Shantong said, "master, you must be very unhappy to let the emperor know your attitude."

"Last time I killed the refugees in Pingdingshan, I was assassinated by falcons," tiekui said. This time I was asked to resettle the refugees. If I was happy, I would be suspicious! " He is also too understanding Yan unparalleled nature, just intentionally show very dissatisfied. Of course, tiekui only needs to vent his psychological grievances this time, and does not need to act.

Zhong Shan nodded at the same time and said, "master, if Yan Wushuang really wants you to donate, how much are you going to donate?" Their industry is very profitable every year. If it's a donation
