Dragon blood bodyguard of the beauty president

Chapter 3715
Tong Guan's office is arranged in Fangla's Holy Palace.

Song Gongming took the initiative to move out of it and handed it over to Tong Guan.

He temporarily lives in Fang Honglian's Princess Mansion in the city, which is far inferior to the grandeur of the Holy Palace.

After Tong Guan arrived, he was very interested and let people take a tour here.

When entering the Golden Luan Hall where Fang La used to go to court, Tong Guan looked at the resplendent hall and couldn't help sighing, "A small rebel deserves to enjoy such a grand palace. How can he be undefeated if he acts like this?"

"Who said no!"

Gao Li flattered and said, "This chair is only suitable for angels to sit on."

He greeted Tong Guan and sat down on the dragon head chair made of golden nanmu.

Tong Guan tried it and put his hands on it.

The civil and military officials below, under the leadership of Gao Qiu, all bowed down to congratulate Tong Guan and said, "Master Privy Envoy, all blessings are boundless."

Tong Guan said with a big smile, "Okay, I've seen everything that needs to be seen. Time doesn't wait, and it's time for us to talk about serious business."

Officials from all walks of life bowed and stood up, and they all returned to seriousness.

Tong Guan looked at Ma Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Qiantang Prefecture, and asked, "Master Ma, these days, you are the one who manages the production and life of Qiantang. Tell me, how is the current situation in Qiantang Prefecture?"

Ma Zhiyuan stood up, wiped the hot sweat from his brow, and argued with Tong Guan, "To tell you the truth, Qiantang Prefecture is like a furnace that has not been extinguished, and it may be rekindled at any time! When the rebels besieged Qiantang Prefecture Half a year later, the supplies in the hands of the people in the city had already been exhausted. The people starved to death, and there was even a situation of cannibalism. Later, Fang La was defeated and the whole city surrendered. After Qi Guogong took Qiantang, he asked people to raise a sum of money. The food and grass have solved the urgent need. Now the city is short of food and food, and the people are all staring wide-eyed and waiting to make up. If there is no more food and grass brought in, I am afraid there will be a civil uprising!"

Wang Fu asked, "Why don't you think of a way to raise food and grass?"

Ma Zhiyuan cried bitterly, "Your Majesty Wang has learned that after the disaster of Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River, the production and management have long since collapsed. A large area of ​​fertile land was barren, and the people died and fled. It is not only Qiantang Prefecture that lacks food and food, but also other places. The victims of the disaster The land is everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. Even if the lower officials are rich now, they can’t buy food!”

Wang Fu asked curiously, "Strange, according to what you said, where did Song Gongming get the food and grass?"

Ma Zhiyuan said, "It's all thanks to Princess Jinling, who is the daughter of Duke Qi, Song Yuchan. It was she who contacted the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce, who made the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce take out a batch of grain and grass, and donated grain and grass to Qiantang Prefecture for free."

"Princess Jinling?"

Wang Fu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "She still has such a big face in the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce?"

The officials present looked at each other in blank amazement.

When they were in the capital, they also invested in Shenlong Chamber of Commerce, and they received good dividends every month.

Including Tong Guan, who also has a huge amount of money in the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce.

Ma Zhiyuan said, "I don't know the inside story, but Princess Jinling did get the food and grass. Because of the relapse of her old injury, she can no longer retreat. Therefore, no one is running around for the people's food and grass. Now there is a shortage of food everywhere in Qiantang Prefecture." Little food. Don't be afraid of the jokes of your lords, even the officials in our yamen have eaten their last meal and never finished their meal."

"Is this the case?"

"What else is there to do?"

"I didn't expect that the majestic Jiangnan has become so barren?"

"Then we didn't come here for nothing?"

"..."

All the officials were full of disappointment.

Wang Fu asked anxiously, "According to what you said, when Fang La was defeated, didn't he leave any private treasure behind?"

Li Bangyan said, "That's right! Fang La searched for people's fat and people's ointment everywhere, at least to say that he has a lot of private possessions, right?"

Ma Zhiyuan said shamelessly, "I will tell you my lords, on the day of the defeat, the lower official immediately sent someone to seal up the rebel's holy treasury. Whether it was the grain depot or the silver warehouse, everything was empty. The lower official sent someone After investigation, the rebels have long been unable to make ends meet, lacking clothing and food. They did not seize much money, but when the army was defeated, they scattered and burned supplies to help many people."

Wang Fu clapped his hands and snorted coldly, "Come on, this place is now a lazy hole!"

"I just said why Qi Guogong fell ill, let me go, and I will fall ill too."

Li Bangyan actually had some sympathy for Qi Guogong.

Tong Guan closed his eyes and frowned, and remained silent.

Gao Lian glanced at him, feeling extremely disappointed in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to come here to make a fortune, but who knew that the situation here is so bad, it seems that he has to make a fortune.

He asked Ma Zhiyuan depressedly, "According to your opinion, how can we solve the current situation?"

Ma Zhiyuan suggested, "Naturally, I have asked the Privy Envoy to write to the imperial court to ask the imperial court to allocate supplies to relieve the victims. Your subordinate dares to assure the imperial court that as long as Jiangnan is given three years, Jiangnan will definitely return to its original state of being a land of fish and rice."

"fart!"

Gao Qiu scolded, "What kind of bullshit ideas are you talking about? The imperial court has been fighting for years, and the national treasury has long been empty. Where did the money come from to help Jiangnan? If the imperial court does not tax Jiangnan, that is already the greatest favor to Jiangnan!"

Ma Zhiyuan wiped off his cold sweat and repeatedly said yes, and he and Tong Guan hurriedly apologized, "This official made a slip of the tongue, because the official did not know the difficulties of the court. This official is guilty, please forgive me, the Privy Envoy."

Tong Guan helped himself to sit up, and said to Ma Zhiyuan, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this, I know your difficulties. It is not easy for you to persist in resisting the enemy in the south of the Yangtze River, and His Majesty has praised you a lot. Before the envoy came, Your Majesty also said that Mr. Ma should be promoted and reused."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, and thank you Privy Envoy!"

Ma Zhiyuan knelt down on the ground excitedly.

Tong Guan waved his hands and said, "Okay, Mr. Ma is Cai Xiangye's disciple, and we are also our own family. Why should we be so polite when our family sees our own family."

Ma Zhiyuan stood up excitedly, and immediately expressed his loyalty to Tong Guan, "Don't worry, the envoy, I will do my best to cooperate with the envoy in Jiangnan. If the envoy has any important responsibilities, just do what you say. The official will do my best to help the envoy." make it happen."

Tong Guan said with satisfaction, "My envoy is relieved of what Master Ma said. I also understood it just now, and there are only four words for you adults, and nothing is left to do."

Officials from all walks of life looked at me and I looked at you, they all flattered and said, "Envoy is so right, it is indeed a waste of time!"

"Great Jiangnan, all we need now is time to come back to life!"

"That's right, just give Jiangnan a little time, and Jiangnan will definitely return to its former glory."

"..."

Officials from all walks of life are talking nonsense and not talking about the current situation.

Tong Guan sighed softly, "Your Majesty entrusted this envoy with the burden of rebuilding the south of the Yangtze River. This envoy only felt that the burden on his shoulders was quite heavy. Everything starts at the beginning. Since this envoy has come, there is one thing to continue." One thing to deal with. Before leaving, His Majesty handed over four words to the envoy, using both kindness and power. This kindness is the problem of food and grass. As for the prestige!"

He looked at Ma Zhiyuan, with a cold look in his eyes, and said, "Prefect Ma, please spread the word. Your Majesty has an order that anyone who participated in Fang La's rebellion, regardless of their position or position, will be executed after three days, leaving no one behind. You are responsible for this matter." Go discuss with Qi Guogong and come up with a definite plan for this envoy as soon as possible."
