Chapter 671 The environment changes a person

Even the rainy day began. Grandpa's bright smile was not seen for a few days. Wei Jiu sat outside the mansion, and the brazier was roasting in the rain. There was nothing he could do! Several children were studying in the study, and the brazier was afraid that it would choke them.

Standing next to him with a left-handed umbrella, Liu Jinwu was wearing a straw raincoat and squatted under a tree not far from the mansion to watch his marquis.

"It's been drizzling for a month, right? Chang'an is fine, I'm afraid Jiangnan will suffer. You'll run slowly for me, boy in front of me. This road is almost the only way for your Red Peel Messenger. I'll break your legs."

The Red Peel Messenger was shocked and almost fell to the ground. He kept showing kindness to Wei Jiu on the horse's back, and gradually disappeared into the rain.

Since Wei Jiu proposed the draft of the imperial examination system, the three provinces and six ministries have studied it for half a month and began to convey news like the Tang Dynasty. The imperial examination began. Chang'an conveyed the imperial edict, and various prefectures and counties responded to the number of people participating in the scientific examination.

The messenger who was coming and going was wrong, so he was about to follow the Wei Jiaxiu path. The sound of horse hooves was so loud that Wei Jiu was so angry that he felt distressed. A few days ago, he went to see in the rain and saw that several blue bricks had cracked.

Zuo Xuan was about to answer his son's words when another horse galloped past. Wei Jiu was so angry that he trembled. It was not that he was stingy, but that no one didn't scold him when he was building the road. Now he is so sane that he feels very at ease when he walks!

Wei Jiu grabbed a stone and hit the galloping man, and was about to hit the man on the forehead. Wei Jiu grinned, but he couldn't laugh anymore. Li Chongyi walked towards Wei Jiu in anger and shouted, "Are you sick?"

Wei Jiu smiled his head awkwardly and pointed at Liu Jinwu.

"He threw it."

Li Chongyi took off his straw raincoat, got into the big umbrella, squatted in front of the brazier, grinded in front of the brazier, sighed with a heavy expression, and said softly.

"Where is your Majesty?"

Wei Jiu pointed to the warm room.

"Wi Buyuan and Wei are there, and Yizi is watching Huaer. Something happened?"

Li Chongyi nodded.

"Hey, news came from Guanzhong Du Water Supervision. Even the rainy days caused a flood. Now that it is too late to rescue, Li Zhi sent someone to Guanzhong to check the situation. I came over and asked Your Majesty how to resolve this matter."

Wei Jiu raised his head and looked at Zuo Xuan. Unexpectedly, the conversation between the two of them was actually something that happened. Then Wei Jiu suggested that Li Chongyi not care about this matter. Now that Li Zhi is in charge of the country, it is Li Zhi's responsibility to have problems during this period. Li Chongyi thought for a long time and said softly.

"You should notify Your Majesty."

Wei Jiu suddenly felt a headache and was powerless and sad when he heard this.

"You told Your Majesty that he would let me solve this matter again, and then Li Chengqian should say that I am so good, and I have no time to have free time this day."

"Wanzhijia was seriously affected."

“Disa relief!”

Wei Jiu instantly changed the direction of the wind, without hesitation, and spoke out for disaster relief. In the name of the Liu family in Hedong, Liu Wanzhi looked at Wei Jiu and shook her head helplessly. The two of them came to the greenhouse with umbrellas. Wei Jiu limped and aroused Li Chongyi's anger, and gritted his teeth and scolded him for being deposed sooner or later.

After Li Er learned the news, he looked at Wei Jiu for the first time.

"The treasury is short of money."

Wei Jiu glanced at Li Er and walked towards the corn that was already taller than him. The ears of corn were already very large and could be harvested in almost a month. Wei Jiu didn't know much about corn, and he felt a little dissatisfied with only two rods. Why was it not like a banana?

Seeing that Wei Jiu did not reply, Li Er was not angry, and at the same time he did not take the matter of disaster relief to heart. Now Li Zhi was supervising the country, and he wanted to see how this son solved it, whether he could put down his figure and ask Wei Jiu, or use the national treasury.

In the palace, Li Zhi frowned and pondered. His first thought was to open grain to provide disaster relief, but he rebelled against Li Yi's mansion. Now he is just a regent. His Majesty knew about this but did not speak up, just wanted to see how Li Zhi solved it. Although opening grain to provide disaster relief is a good way, it seems that this is not what His Majesty wants.

Li Zhi was a little irritated, he frowned and said angrily.

"Those don't work, that's not bad. How do you want me to do it? The treasury is not open, and only Wei Wuliang has the foundation to provide disaster relief. How could he take action?"

Li Yifu remained silent, and at this time Xu Jingzong spoke from the side.

"Your Highness, do you know the method of disaster relief in Wenrou Township for three years? Now that Guanzhong is suffering from disaster, I am trying to imitate the method of Wenrou Township for three years. You went out of the palace to invite all the merchants of Chang'an and even Jingzhao Mansion to gather here. Let these people use money to provide disaster relief. They will naturally agree to the old man Changsun Wuji... The Duke of Qi said that it is absolutely necessary to use the national treasury, and raising the tax on merchants is equivalent to making money in the pockets of the people, which is very unfavorable to you."

Xu Jingzong did not forget to take the opportunity to slander Changsun Wuji. After hearing this, Li Yifu frowned and did not speak. This method was indeed feasible, but Li Zhi was unwilling. He roared and shouted that the qualifications of those merchants were to be invited by him and the qualifications to negotiate with him. If he wanted money, these people would give money.

Li Zhi has changed, he is not the cowardly child he used to be. Anton's experience makes him hope to hold power in his hands, and now he has become the only one among the princes who are qualified to supervise the country. He has already expanded.

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he frowned, stood up, bowed and left the Eastern Palace. Li Yifu frowned and did not look at Li Zhi, and said in a deep voice.

"You are not the emperor yet. Now His Majesty is watching outside the city. Do you want to ruin your future?"

Li Zhi's body trembled, but he was still unwilling to do this. He spoke and asked Li Yifu to take him to do it.

"Sir, you are well-educated, so you will naturally have a way to let the merchants take out money to provide disaster relief. You go, you go for me."

"No, what Jia Shang felt sorry for was not the people of Guanzhong, but the hope of getting your promise."

Anger appeared on Li Yifu's face, but Li Zhi was still unwilling. He was unwilling to talk to Jia Shang and lowered his identity unwillingly. Now he can finally give advice in the palace. How could he do this?

In the end, Li Yifu went to do this. He booked the entire Tayun Restaurant and summoned Chang'an merchants, but few responded. Brother Su laughed and said that Tayun Restaurant was not rich and had ten thousand yuan in support of His Royal Highness the King of Shu. From the beginning to the end, only Tayun Restaurant opened its mouth.

The merchants came in a few. They wanted to see His Highness the King of Shu. They really didn't care whether the people in Guanzhong were alive or not. They wanted to buy a King of Shu with money, but the King of Shu hadn't seen them, but they wanted to ask them to provide disaster relief.

The merchants are all talented and make excuses. Some say they have funded hospitals, some say they have started new businesses in the south, and disaster relief can be done. There are 1,200 yuan, and they will give it now, but if there are too many, they will be powerless.

When Li Yifu left, he felt sad. Why couldn't Li Zhi calm down? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he bows his head to the Jia merchants, he will get tens of thousands of yuan in disaster relief money and food, and at that time he will have a good image in His Majesty's heart.

Unfortunately, he didn't want to.

When Li Zhi received the reply from Li Yi Mansion, he cursed a scammer and ordered him to leave the palace to visit his mother in the Wei family. He begged Changsun in front of everyone in the Wei family to order the Wei family to provide money for disaster relief. Li Tai looked at Li Zhi with cold eyes, but Wei Jiu played checkers with Li Er on the side, not caring about Changsun's reply at all.

At this time, Changsun didn't expect Li Zhi to speak so directly. Even if he asked, he shouldn't beg her, but to ask Wei Jiu. Changsun took a deep breath and looked up at Wei Jiu.

"Jiuer, do you still have any extra money in your hands now?"

How did Changsun give orders? How could she protect her own son and hurt her godson's heart? She could only discuss it. Wei Jiu, who was playing chess, raised her head and smiled at Changsun.

"After returning to my mother, I have something to do, Qing Xuan told me this morning..."

Li Zhi was overjoyed and looked at Changsun with an excited expression. At this time, Li Er, who was playing chess, suddenly slapped Wei Jiu, slapped him on the back of the head, and scolded him coldly.

"Concentrate on playing chess, don't worry about those useless ones. Queen, the Wei family has no money. I borrowed the 40,000 ounces from Qu Qingxuan and sent them to the new army."

Changsun pointed helplessly, but Li Zhi's face was extremely gloomy. He felt Li Er's dissatisfaction. He also knew that the Wei family is rich now, but his father did not lend him.

Finally, Li Zhi made up his mind and asked Li Er if he could use the treasury. Li Er did not agree immediately, but asked Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong that there was no better way? Li Zhi nodded, he concealed the matter, but Li Er just nodded.

Li Zhi left, Wei Jiu sat in the chair and pointed at Li Er, looking at Changsun.

"Empress, look at Your Majesty, how could he be a father like this? I'm going to get the money, he won't let him."

Changsun's face was also a little sad. Li Er raised his head and glared at Wei Jiu, and snorted coldly.

"Do you think I don't know what happened to Li Yi's mansion to take over the Tayun Restaurant? I was a Chang'an official who was hospitalized in the Daming Palace to provide relief to the locust plague."

Wei Jiu immediately did not dare to speak, and in his voice he could hear Li Er's dissatisfaction with Li Zhi.
