When the Broken Sleeve Travels to the Country of Women

It seems that people have a bad habit of looking at other people's misfortune.

Huang Fufeng's full self-confidence was exchanged for other people's strong interest in watching the excitement. Everyone was waiting for Huang Fufeng to make a fool of himself, but he didn't intend to give these people a chance.

He was a bit guilty of boasting, he didn't seem to have listened to the discussion of the officials just now, why did he feel like a bad student who didn't listen to the lectures in class and was caught by the teacher.

Fortunately, under Yan Fu's soft reminder, he figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that when Huang Fufeng was dozing off vigorously, the people in the hall were discussing how to solve the flood problem in Xunzhou, and the various forces were arguing fiercely.The queen was upset when she heard that, and immediately stopped the quarrel among the ministers, asking them to come forward alone to propose a feasible solution.

Their quarrel just now was just to protect their own interests. Before the quarrel, Huang Wu finally made a suggestion to ask the Ministry of Households to allocate money to help refugees suffering from floods. The ministers thought about it and gave the money in the treasury to those poor and humble. Common people, they have less money to fish, so they quarreled with Huang Wuzhong's faction.

However, quarrels are quarrels in front of interests, and when they really want to do something practical for the people, they keep their mouths shut tighter and tighter.

Looking at the posture of the officials, they don't want to pay money, but also want to solve the problem, which is a difficult time.But it was at such a juncture that the unlucky Huang Fufeng, Baba rushed to die.

After sorting out the ins and outs of the matter, Huang Fufeng was no longer afraid.

How to say that he was also a student of the architecture department of a famous university in his previous life, so he was able to say a few words about the flood, and the reason why the empress refused to let him go out was also because of the flood, so he was also a little bit concerned about the flood in Yuguo. I understand.

Then he talked eloquently: "There are only two things to do to solve the flood disaster. One is to send people to control the flood; the other is to resettle the victims."

Before finishing speaking, the sharp female voice jumped out and objected: "It's all on paper, it's not easy to do! Dare I ask you, who will you send to control the flood? How will you resettle the victims? The number of victims is huge. They're all scumbags from the poor mountains and rivers, rough and rude, but they're not easy to serve, in my opinion, it's better to let those scumbags fend for themselves."

The ministers next to him nodded in agreement.

Listening to the "tricksters" in this population, Huang Fufeng felt furious. The officials ordered by the court should be Qingtian parents who make decisions for the people, but these bastards who eat the people's fat and scrape the people's cream are unreliable after all.

Who cares? Who cares?Although Huang Fufeng was angry in his heart, it was not easy to explode. He suppressed his anger and said: "Let's put aside the people who control the water, and let's talk about the resettlement of the victims. Money and food are essential for the resettlement of the victims. Yuguo A hundred years of peace and prosperity, in recent years there have been no natural disasters or wars, so the national treasury should be very abundant. The country is based on the people, the people are water, and the country is a boat. We know that water can carry a boat and also capsize it. If you don’t care about the life and death of the people in the world If you are disrespectful, the Yu Kingdom will be destroyed, but not far away."

Just now that mean woman who called him big brother had a very ugly face, but although what Huang Fufeng said was disrespectful, everything was reasonable, even the Queen didn't refute, so she could only snort coldly and stop talking.

Complacent, Huang Fufeng continued: "The money for saving the people should come from the national treasury, but it shouldn't all come from the national treasury. As parents and officials of the common people, there is no reason for children to suffer and parents to abandon them. Therefore, adults should also We should do our part for the people.”

Seeing that Huang Fufeng turned his attention to them, these ministers couldn't calm down anymore, the hall fell into chaos instantly, and voices of opposition rang out one after another.

Huang Fufeng added: "Could it be that everyone is unwilling to serve the country and be loyal to the Queen! The adults are so uncooperative, it is easy to make people doubt your so-called loyalty! Could it be that everyone's usual words of loyalty to the Queen are just saying That's all, let me think about it, how should I be sentenced for the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

At this moment, the chaotic hall fell silent in an instant.Huang Fufeng continued to speak leisurely: "However, if all the adults are willing to donate some money, it's not like you won't get any benefits. In this way, every official will donate three cents of his salary in the next three months. Second, the salaries of the officials in my dynasty have always been generous, so you must not be hungry and clothed. If someone is willing to donate ten thousand taels of silver, you will be promoted to a higher rank. It is a great opportunity, everyone. Miss it."

At this time, the court fell into chaos again. Some people were happy and some were worried. For those with rich family background, 1 taels for a promotion.

But it is almost impossible for Qingming officials, or ordinary low-level officials, so through this method, you can probably see which officials secretly give and receive, and embezzle money on weekdays. It's really a good abacus to kill two birds with one stone.

However, this is only useful for some officials. For old foxes like Liubu Shangshu, it is impossible to trick them, so they have kept silent.

Some officials were eager to try it, and sure enough, this method was extremely useful. In less than a moment, many officials rushed to donate money, and they also affectionately interpreted the image of a good official who loves the people like a son, which is very lively.

The empress is so wise, she can see through his mind, she is watching him closely with extremely bright yellow eyes, and at the same time she is surprised by Huang Fufeng's analysis and coercion, this person is really different!

Although slightly distracted, after recovering, he happily agreed to his proposal.

Seeing that the empress agreed to Huang Fufeng's proposal, the woman just stomped her feet angrily.

Think about when she, Huang Wuzhen, suffered such a bad loss. Since she was born, no one was sent up by Baba to please her. She is the eldest daughter of the empress of this domain, and the person who is most likely to rule the world. Huang Fufeng is just a father I don't know who it is, and he is still a man, when did I put him in my eyes.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wanted to step forward to fight, but was stopped by a soft voice of a woman next to him.

This girl's name is Han Shangmu, and she is the daughter of Han Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and also the sister of Han Luoqiu, the companion of Huang Fufeng.I saw her with clear eyes, tall figure, a rare beauty with temperament, and a well-known talented woman in Beijing, and she was in the same camp as Empress Wu Zhen.

Because of Han Shangmu's talent, Huang Wuzhen used her very much.It was also because of Han Shangmu's obstruction that Huang Wuzhen's Huo Shengsheng, who was about to explode, was suppressed.

Seeing that Huang Wuzhen stopped talking, Han Shangmu smiled slightly, and then stepped forward and said slowly: "The way the eldest prince collects money is really wonderful, and I admire it."

Huang Fufeng looked at her humble smiling face, so he said in a calm tone, "Don't be ashamed to do it!"

Huang Wuzhen had just seen Han Shangmu stop him, thinking that she had a way to step forward to vent her anger on her, but when she saw that this woman even praised Huang Fufeng, she wanted to explode again.

But before she got angry, Han Shangmu said again: "However, just now the eldest prince also said that to resettle the victims, money and food are indispensable, and the plan just now solved the problem of money and silver. Dare I ask the eldest prince, where is the food? As far as I know, due to the flood, the supply of food has been in short supply recently, and many merchants have driven up prices. If you use the money you just raised from the adults to buy food, it will only last for a month, and the flood in a month will definitely not be cured. Well, after that month, these refugees will only have a dead end."

Seeing Han Shangmu's embarrassment without trace, Huang Fufeng was not annoyed, and smiled confidently, "Of course there is a solution, but it's just not finished yet."

Han Shangmu bowed slightly and said, "I am willing to listen carefully."

Only then did Huang Fufeng express his strategy leisurely, "In disaster years, it is normal for merchants to drive up prices. In the final analysis, it is only for their own interests. Wouldn't it be a pity not to beat such profiteers? As far as I know, there are many Some refugees came in, and robbery of grain shops often happened, but the number of people was small, and they were arrested soon, and it was not easy. But there are still many refugees who were blocked from the city. In this way, first open the city gates and Now all the refugees are put into the city..."

Before he finished speaking, an angry female voice sounded, it was Yan Ran, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it could be seen that she was really angry, and she shouted loudly: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! If you put it in the city, the world will be in chaos! Where will the people in the city be placed like this?"

Huang Fufeng frowned and retorted: "I haven't finished talking yet! If the refugees are not allowed to enter the city now, more and more refugees will gather outside the city. It will be a matter of time before the city gate is breached, but I still want to solve the problem at that time." I'm afraid it's impossible. My plan doesn't work, so does this lord have other better plans? You might as well speak up to share the queen's worries."

After hearing Huang Fufeng's provocative words, Yan Ran's face turned pale with anger, but she really didn't have any good plan, so she could only stand by and pant with anger.

At this time, the empress came out to mediate the conflict, "Yan Aiqing might as well let Feng'er finish speaking." The empress had already spoken, but no one came out to stop him from speaking.

Huang Fufeng continued: "Before letting the refugees enter the city, we can first release the news in the city. There are too many refugees outside the city, and the army can't resist. There will be a large number of refugees flooding into the city. Minimize losses as much as possible. Everyone can rest assured that the ability of the people to hide money and food cannot be underestimated. The refugees will definitely not gain much after entering the city, and they will definitely cause chaos in the city and panic.”

Seeing the people staring at him with unbelievable eyes, Huang Fufeng knew that they must be angry and puzzled, but he ignored it directly, and said to himself: "At this time, the imperial court can release the news again, and the imperial court will distribute food outside the city." To help the victims, food must be released outside the city. At this time, the refugees who did not grab much in the city will pour out of the city in large numbers. At the same time, the imperial court will send a large number of soldiers to carefully screen the refugees in the city. If they refused to leave the city, they would be forced to drive them out of the city. If they did not listen to their persuasion, they would be thrown into dungeons as an example. At that time, refugees will flood into the city again, and the only solution is for the whole city to donate money and silver for the refugees. The refugees overwhelm the city, and people are panic-stricken. The people in the city are forced to be like this, so how dare they not do their best."

At this time, Huang Fufeng looked distressed, but he immediately thought of a solution, and said slowly: "Furthermore, the imperial court should uniformly control the price of grain. If the shopkeeper of the grain shop still sells grain at a high price, the imperial court will condemn him as ignoring the law of the country." Ordinary merchants must not dare to drive up prices anymore. It’s just that the imperial court should also collect large-scale grain store storage areas and grain storage, so as to prevent profiteers from selling grain at high prices privately, and it can also ensure that the imperial court buys grain at a normal price The amount of food, the capital is already a place where wealthy people live together, and the money and food in the city is enough to support everyone for at least four months, and the flood problem is enough to be dealt with at this time."

At this time, the ministers showed a look of sudden realization, but when they thought that there might be refugees breaking into their homes, they all lowered their faces and glared at Huang Fufeng viciously.

It's not that Huang Fufeng didn't see it, but he continued: "Although this method will threaten the small interests of the people in the city, it will not cause people to starve to death. Therefore, although this method is dangerous, it can make the people in the city unite with the court and do their best. Solve the disturbance outside the city together. If the number of refugees is really large enough to break through the city gate, the people in the city will be defenseless, and it is impossible for the soldiers of the imperial court to kill the huge number of refugees. The people are truly doomed, and the imperial court will definitely be threatened."

After hearing Huang Fufeng finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, at this time Huang Fufeng solemnly knelt down, and said loudly: "Please Your Majesty the Empress, please follow the advice of my sons and ministers to save the people from fire and water."

The queen looked at his serious expression with complicated complexion, she was silent for a moment, but she nodded heavily and agreed to his proposal.

Everyone knew that this was the most perfect way to save the people, but when they thought that their own interests would be affected, they all had serious faces and hated Huang Fufeng very much.

It can be seen that although the empress looked serious, she also agreed to Huang Fufeng's proposal, and the officials could only curse helplessly in their hearts.It was at this time that Yiping and the female voice sounded again, and it was Han Shangmu.

"The eldest prince has forgotten that all the schemes just now can only solve the riots of the victims. It's just that the flood victims will not be able to return home for a day. It is not difficult to provide food and grass supplies for the victims in the city for three to four months. But after a long time, there will always be food and chaos, and it is not a long-term solution."

Huang Fufeng replied: "Naturally, I will send people to deal with the flood."

"Then dare to ask the eldest prince, who to send?" Han Shangmu asked again.

At this time, the eyes of the ministers brightened instantly, and it seemed that there was still a chance to protect their own interests.

Yes, who should I send?Look at these greedy eyes, will anyone risk their lives to control the raging flood?The answer is of course no. If no one controls the water, no matter how good the previous strategy is, it will be empty talk.

Huang Fufeng sighed heavily, knelt down solemnly, and said loudly: "I am willing to go to Xunzhou to control the water. If I don't succeed, I will never return to the capital. I hope Your Majesty the Empress will do it!"

The queen looked at his solemn face, and was slightly stunned: "It's really similar, even for that person, I have to protect him."Just about to open his mouth to refuse.

All the ministers in the court knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please grant the eldest prince's request, and save the people from fire and water. Please, Your Majesty, please, please, Your Majesty, please..."

Huang Fufeng laughed at himself: I am really popular, everyone is helping me.

You can't help, you can't let go of the opportunity to push him to the end, natural disasters can be avoided, but man-made disasters can't be avoided so easily.Even though the turbulent flood didn't kill Huang Fufeng, it's not easy to kill someone so far away from the capital!What's more, there is such a high-sounding excuse as saving the people, so don't cherish it.

People in high positions will always see only flattery and obedience. Unless you are willing to bow your head and be with those people, you will never see the ugliness of those who bow their heads.

The empress who hesitated at this time would never realize that in the eyes of the "loyal ministers" kneeling at her feet, instead of the awe-inspiring righteousness that was full of worries for the people just now, there was already a hint of cruelty in its place.And these were all seen by Huang Fufeng, but he had no way out.
