Chapter thirty-seven disasters to the country and the people
"Miss, aren't you angry? Everything the lady gets should be yours!" Bai Ji was angry.
There are rumors now that the queen plans to betroth Yang Han to the crown prince as her concubine. If the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly, Yang Han can get a concubine as a concubine. No matter how you look at it, you will make sure to make a profit.
Yang Xuqiu smiled calmly and said, "What's the point of being angry about?"
If you climb high, you will have to fall heavily. She will wait for the day when Yang Han falls.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong, Yang Xuqiu's tightly closed door was knocked, and Yang Zhen pushed the door and walked in.
Yang Xu went to see Yang Zheng with a look of something wrong, and he knew most of the time: "What's wrong with my father?"
"There was something happened in the previous dynasty." Yang Zheng held his forehead and said, "Last night, many refugees suddenly came. They flocked into the Kyoto Imperial City, robbed people when they saw them, and robbed them when they saw the shop. The Imperial Army seized several leaders' interrogation, saying that there was a lot of disaster outside the Kyoto City, and the disaster situation in many places became even worse. Many refugees starved to death, so they had no choice but to force them to rob them."
Yang Xuqiu had long anticipated these things. The purpose and strategy of these three days sounds like a good way, but only after it is truly implemented will the loopholes be exposed.
Persuading wealthy businessmen to donate money to provide disaster relief. The first person to obtain a low position was naturally proud. Later, the donors paid their money to pay for their family's fortunes, but the emperor no longer rewarded them. These people were inevitably injustice. Among those refugees who caused trouble, there were also theirs.
Secondly, those who go to buy food must return in vain. Most of the food in the southern country was collected by Song Jingyun. In his letter to Song Jingyun, Yang Xuqiu asked it to hide the food first. He did not want to make money from the national crisis, but if he took it out before the critical moment, the food would not play a big role.
Third, the richer the country, the more borers are. Most of the food distributed by the emperor is put into the pockets of local light sources. What does the life or death of the people have to do with them?
The three strategies that Yang Xuqiu mentioned at that time were all dug holes. Who would be willing to jump in?
Yang Zheng frowned: "If this matter is implicated by you."
When I went to court this morning, the emperor's face was darker than the bottom of the pot. He jumped up and scolded Yang Yuan as a fool. Even his biological son Song Jingyu was scolded. That situation was really scary.
"This is the eldest sister's idea, how could it involve her daughter?"
Yang Zheng is not a fool either. Seeing Yang Xuqiu's leisurely look, he immediately understood: "Did you do this on purpose?"
Now that things have come to this point, she has nothing to hide. She nodded, admitting Yang Zheng’s guess.
Yang Zheng has always been open and honest in everything, and everything is coming out of order. Yang Xuqiu's actions made him angry. But then he thought, if it weren't for the second wife's desire to be vigilant, even if Yang Xuqiu had thousands of plans, it would be useless.
"What should I do now?" I can't let so many refugees starve to death.
Yang Xuqiu picked up the envelope on the desk: "Please give this to the emperor."
This is the second half of the strategy for treating disasters. In the previous life, Yang Xuqiu was not arrogant at all as the queen. She went to investigate any difficult things herself. Now this conclusion was discovered by her and several of Song Jingyu's advisers in her previous life.
Yang Zheng's expression changed slightly. How could a daughter with such a standard Yang Xuqiu have such a deep plan, and how could she know what disaster management strategies?
望高斋里.
Yang Han snuggled in Wu Tong's arms and sobbed in a low voice. Yang Yuan's face was really not good-looking. Today, he was scolded by the emperor so much that he really didn't want this old face.
“哭哭哭,你还有什么脸哭?”
She had never seen Yang Yuan speak so sternly before, and was so scared that she went into Wu Tong's arms again. This was not her own idea, but now Yang Yuan scolded her so much, and she was also very wronged.
Now people outside call her harming the country and the people, as stupid as a pig. Even the back wall of the Marquis' mansion was written in a lilac poem to joke about Yang Han. The gloriousness she was a few days ago, she was as embarrassed as she was now.
Her reputation for gentleness and kindness that she had worked hard for many years was also ruined.
Wu Tong patted Yang Han's back to show comfort: "At this point, let's think about what to do."
"Why don't we go and tell the emperor that it was actually Yang Xuqiu's idea, and his daughter is just..."
"Shut up, you idiot!" Yang Yuan didn't think that his daughter was so stupid!
Juqin walked in, looked at the wrong atmosphere in the room, hesitated for a while before speaking, "Madam, the second lady has entered the palace at this time."
“她进宫去做什么?”
Juqin said: "I heard from the people that the lady came up with a strategy for disaster management, and the queen summoned her to the palace."
"What?" Yang Zheng slapped his hand hard on the back of the Hualimu chair, making a loud noise.
皇宫里,皇后已经在景合宫中等候了.
"Empress, I am safe." Yang Xuqiu bowed slowly.
"Please calm down." The palace maid in front of the queen stepped forward and helped Yang Xuqiu up.
“你母亲最近身子可好?”
Yang Xuqiu said: "After the care of the Queen, everything is fine."
For half an hour, the queen had been talking to Yang Xuqiu just about some family matters. She knew that the queen was hitting herself, so she should not feel arrogant because of her disaster control strategy.
Since Yang Xuqiu understood the queen's intention, he would naturally not show any urgency.
Seeing that the time was almost done, the queen said: "I heard that you came up with a disaster control strategy, but the one on the note is not complete. What should I do if the rest?"
That's right, Yang Xuqiu's letter only wrote the first two solutions, and the last one was in her mind.
"The disaster control strategies my elder sister talked about are actually problematic. Now the wealthy businessmen are angry because they feel that they have not gained benefits. Merchants put profit first, so they have to reduce the taxes of donors to calm their anger. Secondly, I heard that the people sent by the emperor to buy returned without success and were extorted money. I once heard the vendors say that the northern countries bought a large amount of grain from the south a few months ago. Where can the emperor send people to see?"
Song Jingyun went to buy it secretly with the emperor on his back. Now, the food cannot be called directly by the emperor. She asked Song Jingyun to find more people to separate the food and sell it to the royal family as a merchant, so that he could make a fortune from the old emperor. Who made the old emperor refuse to listen to his opinions? He would have to pay the price if he insisted on his own initiative.
“那第三点呢?”
Yang Xuqiu picked up the teacup, took a sip of moistening his throat and continued: "The third point is in principle, there is no problem, but the underground officials may not be so honest. After the food is distributed, it will be deducted layer by layer, and nothing will be left in the hands of the refugees."
"What did you say?" A tall man walked out from behind the screen, and he was undoubtedly the current emperor.
"Please pay tribute to the emperor."
"You said my officials are full of their own pockets?"
Yang Xuqiu knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Yes."
"Do you know that slandering officials is going to be beheaded?"
Who should I scare? Who doesn’t know that the Qing magistrate has a year and a hundred thousand snowflakes. Just check it and you will surely find out a lot of people.
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, please go and check it out."
This girl is really brave and not afraid at all: "What do you think you should do?"
Yang Xuqiu raised his head and said, "Kill one to warn a hundred."
A heavy penalty is more useful than a verbal warning.
The emperor looked at her firm eyes and was stunned for a long time: "I understand."
"I also heard that many people who are not refugees will also go to the porridge and mistreat. What should you do if you think this matter is done?"
Yang Xuqiu thought for a moment and said, "My daughter thinks that you can just throw stones and weeds into the porridge."
"No, isn't this a waste of food?" The queen blinked unhappily.
Yang Xuqiu ignored the queen's accusations and looked at the silent emperor and said, "If a fake refugee is a fake, he will naturally leave when he sees such porridge. The remaining ones are still receiving are naturally real refugees."
After all, if a real refugee doesn't eat it, he will starve to death and naturally he will not dislike it.
Hearing this, the emperor's gloomy face suddenly cleared up, and he patted his hands hard: "Okay! OK! I didn't expect that you were so smart at such a young age!"
The emperor was very happy and said to Changqing: "Go to draw an order. Yang Zheng's daughter is extremely talented and smart. She has made contributions to disaster relief. She was named the third-rank princess Duanhui and the daughter of the same prince."
Not to mention others, even Yang Xuqiu was scared by the emperor's reward. She thought that the emperor would write gold, silver, jewelry and jewelry at most last time, but she didn't expect to give him an imperial edict as soon as he took action, which was also very surprising.
