Difficult for you · Yiyong

Chapter 10

"Bring a pen and paper..." When Zhang Fengchun was tossing about himself, Yinzhen was actually still conscious, but he couldn't catch his breath for a while.After resting for a while, it was considered slowing down.He said with hatred: "Li Mo! Bring a pen and paper, I want to pass the brochure to Huang Ama!"

Seeing that he no longer insisted on getting up, Li Mo didn't dare to refuse to follow his orders, and really found a pen and paper and a small table and set it up for him.Xu Zhen sat up propped up, picked up and read the official documents that had been distorted when he was angry just now.Seeing that he had to change his posture after writing a few words, Li Mo knew that he was uncomfortable after sitting for a while, so he lowered his head and said, "Master, why don't you dictate, and the servant will write it for you."

"No need, it's just a matter of time and effort," Yinzhen replied without raising his head, and stretched out his hand to press his waist while speaking, and ordered: "Six hundred li expedited delivery, must be delivered to the emperor. "

"Yes."

After Yinzhen finished these things, his heart relaxed a little, and he felt that his stomach was burning and uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and restrained himself from pressing his hands up. He tried his best to turn sideways and curled up, pulling the quilt to bear the pain. I hate it even more.

Yinhu is in charge of the household department, knowing that the money on the river is a top priority and must not be delayed.However, he halved the amount due from the Ministry of Household Affairs and used it to pay for the Northwest Garrison.

If the money cannot be allocated, the wages of the river workers will not be paid. Even if the river workers do not make trouble, the process of building the embankment will inevitably be delayed.If there are a few more days of heavy rain, I am afraid that all the previous efforts will be in vain.

In order to overwhelm him, he secretly did such a shameful thing that harmed the country and the people.If he doesn't fight for the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, this splendid country for thousands of miles, is it really going to be handed over to someone like Yinhu?

On one side he gritted his teeth and hated, but on the other side Yinhu was also restless.He knew that Yinzhen would definitely not give up, but he didn't expect that he would directly bring this matter to Kangxi.

Kangxi reprimanded him, but he was also helpless when he learned that he had transferred the money to the Northwest.After all, military affairs are the most important thing, and Northwest did hand over a few folds asking for money and food.He was only ordered to raise money and food as soon as possible to make up for the gap in the river work.

"Brother, what are you worried about? You put the money in the northwest, and you didn't swallow it yourself. Even Huang Ama can't say you made a typo. If he has the ability, he can go to the northwest to recover the money by himself. "

Yinhu looked at the person who was talking, and couldn't help but shook his head: "Sit down, old ten, you make me dizzy... What I can't figure out is that Huang Ama has valued his work for the past two years. Ability, why didn't he even ask me about it, and didn't think about other ways, just handed the notebook to Huang Ama..."

"That's right, it's not like his temperament." Brother Jiu also nodded: "Let's not talk about it, let's just say that he and the old thirteen went to Yangzhou for disaster relief that year, didn't they also want money but no money, no one? ? I didn’t see him handing over the booklet and thinking he was incompetent..."

Hearing this, the tenth elder brother made sense after thinking about it. Seeing that the fourteenth elder brother was sitting aside and not talking, he poked him and asked, "Hey, old fourteen, you and his mother are siblings, you said he What's the idea?"

"It's not that Brother Ten doesn't know. I haven't been with him since we were young. When did he treat me as his own brother? If you want to ask me this, you might as well ask Old Thirteen."

"Hey, if you and Thirteen can't make up, is it because he robbed your brother?"

"Stop talking nonsense here, let's think about how to raise money..."

"Brother, he is anxious about this matter, so let's not be in a hurry." Brother Jiu thought for a while, but came up with a way: "You said he was so anxious to ask for money, but we don't know if something happened to the river worker. matter?"

"Perhaps, but you can see what Huang Ama means. Not only can this matter not be delayed, but it must be done as soon as possible." Yinhu shook his head, took a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said, "Hurry up and raise money."

"Huang Ama's eyes are really biased. In the past, when the crown prince was around, he would turn a blind eye and close his eyes, and wiped out all his mistakes. Later, all the civil and military officials in the court recommended you, myna, but he reprimanded us all." Ten The elder brother said dissatisfied: "Later, the fourth brother was favored to handle errands. You said that this time, the fourth brother's affairs were not handled well. He didn't say anything, but he still helped in his heart."

"Old ten, shut up! How can we say such things?" Yinhu scolded, waved his hand to make him stop muttering, and ordered: "Old nine is right, if you are free, you can find A safe person went to investigate secretly, is there really something wrong on the river..."

Only half of the money from the household department was allocated, but the wages on the river embankment were settled every five days according to the rules set by Yinzhen.A few days after the paperwork was handed in, Li Ke, who was in charge of paying wages, couldn't hold on anymore, and went to Xingyuan overnight to ask for an interview.

Although Yinzhen had already rested, his body was getting heavy day by day, and he hadn't slept soundly for many days. When he heard the movement outside, he raised his voice to call someone to come in and light the lamp.Li Mo had no choice but to help him up and changed his clothes.

"When did Li Ke arrive?"

"Just arrived, the concierge just asked him to wait in the study."

"Well, take him to the side hall," Yinzhen waited for him to put on his shoes, stood up and walked a few steps, feeling refreshed, then slowly turned to the side hall and sat down behind the desk.

As soon as Li Ke entered the room, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying again and again: "My lord, it's not that I don't know the rules, it's really... really..."

"Okay, I know you don't have enough food and money, get up," Fang Yinzhen woke up for a while, with a bit of sleepiness in his voice, turned to Li Mo and said, "Show Master Li a seat."

Li Kelian didn't dare to say anything, and sat carefully aside, before he said: "My lord, you also know that those recruited to repair the embankment are all from families with little land and no income. If they don't pay wages for a few days, they I'm afraid I'm going to starve. Not to mention the delay in the construction period, if there is a commotion, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"I know that although the money from the household department is a few days late, it will never be deducted," Yinzhen frowned, and promised in a deep voice: "Go and tell them that the dam has been repaired in one go. I promise you the wages." Not a penny is too much for them."

"My lord, I can certainly trust your words, but those migrant workers are recruited temporarily, so there's no guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to make trouble..." Li Ke was still in a dilemma, and said with a bitter face: "This official is really... ..”

Yinzhen also knew that he didn't have any money or food, and he was afraid that he would not have the confidence to speak, and he couldn't control those thousands of people.After thinking about it, he said to Li Mo: "Get ready, let's go to the embankment to have a look tomorrow."

"Master? You..."

Li Mo exclaimed, if it wasn't for Li Ke who was still on the side, he might have jumped up to object immediately.I just waited patiently for Li Ke to leave, and then said: "Master, you can't go this time without saying anything."

"Do I want to go?" Yinzhen was already tired after being woken up from his sleep and talked for so long, and he was worried about the money in the household department, and he was even more unhappy, and said angrily: "Do you really have to wait until the troubles come?" Get up, shall I go and apologize again?"

Li Mo usually did not dare to refute him, but this time he insisted, poking his neck and saying: "Dr. Born on the embankment?"

"Presumptuous! I think you have been out of the house for so long that you have forgotten all the rules!"

"I don't dare, but I promised the Thirteenth Lord that I will..."

"Don't talk about it, Li Mo..." Yinzhen was still a little angry at first, he lowered his head and stroked his belly, but his voice softened, and he closed his eyes and whispered: "Don't mention your thirteenth master, if you He's here, and I really want to just lie down and forget about everything..."

Li Mo has seen him angry, seen him indifferent and silent, but rarely sees him like this.I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I had to help him onto the bed.However, Yinzhen seemed to have lost all strength, most of his weight rested on him, and his feet were also very weak.

Seeing him panting for a while even lying down and turning his side, his eyes turned red: "Master, it's a slave who deserves to die...You, don't get angry..."

Yinzhen lay down for a while, thought of something, and asked softly, "Is there any news from Beijing?"

"Yes, the emperor ordered eighth elder brother and ninth elder brother to raise funds as soon as possible without delay," Li Mo was afraid that he would worry again, so he only picked the good ones and said, after thinking about it, he added: "Thirteen Lords have everything good......"

Yinzhen forced a smile, nodded and said: "His temperament, I'm afraid he can't sit still every day... he should be worried, I just want to stay one more night, and he dares to drive me away in a different way." Walk."

Hearing that he spoke lightly, Li Mo forced himself to smile, and replied: "Isn't Thirteenth Master feeling sorry for Master, afraid that you will have a hard time traveling? Thirteenth Master also said, when you go back, what will you do with him? He took the punishment."

"Admit the punishment? He is sure that I will not be cruel to him," Yinzhen seemed to have regained some energy, opened his eyes and said: "Since I was a child, I have never really punished him... "

Seeing him like this, Li Mo felt something was wrong in his heart.After taking care of him, he didn't dare to go far, so he stood guard at the door, and let Zhang Fengchun come to have a look at him at dawn, and said that his pulse was still stable, so he dared to wake him up.

The continuous sunny days made the weather a little drier, and the weather of golden autumn gradually came out.The shore was no longer as muddy as it was in the previous two months, which brought them a lot of convenience.

As soon as Yinzhen got out of the car, someone recognized him as the imperial envoy of the prince, and when they heard him speak, they unconsciously surrounded him.Li Mo was afraid that they would hurt Yinzhen with their hands, so he naturally wanted to stop them, but Yinzhen waved his hand to signal that there was no need.
