Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The peaceful days are like white horses passing through the gap, and like the warm spring breeze stroking the hair, it will be April before you know it.

Enke's concubine finished his studies ahead of schedule, so Zhang Xu went to the Ministry of Officials and worked with Cheng Yin.Zhang Yu passed the exam, and the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law of the Zhang family began to discuss the marriage between Zhang Zhen and Yingchun.Because Mrs. Wang was too sick to get up, Mrs. Ji went to accompany Mrs. Xing to complete those etiquettes when she and Zhang's family walked the six ceremonies in Rongguo Mansion.

When Chen Guan'er celebrated his second birthday, Jia She and Lin Hai received a letter from Jia Lian, who had an eldest son in mid-June.

It's been a good year.It went so smoothly that Lin Hai thought he was in a dream.And such a smooth day was so fast that he hadn't tasted the sweetness of the smooth years. Just when the winter month just entered, a large area of ​​Gyeonggi and the north fell suddenly with heavy snow.

The sudden drop in temperature has brought a series of problems.The imperial court wanted to raise funds to relieve the people who were hit by the snowstorm, and the border gates were also in urgent need at this time.Whenever the weather is good and political affairs are going well, the Taishang will come out to show off his existence and emphasize the authority of the Taishang. At this time, he hides in the Palace of Mercy, and there is no sound or shadow.

Today, thinking about the small amount of wealth that he had saved so easily, and the headroom that would be spent in an instant, the corners of his mouth were bubbling with fire.Looking at the silent cabinet elders, thinking about the shortfall of at least one million taels of disaster relief money, he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Master Lin, what can you do?" asked Lin Hai by name today.

Lin Hai couldn't help it. He was a junior in the cabinet, just like a rookie who just entered the workplace.In this sequence, Lin Hai wanted to raise his fingers to the sky several times.

"Saint, I want to have enough silver for disaster relief." Hearing Lin Hai's words, everyone would have rolled their eyes at Lin Hai if they were not limited to self-cultivation. "I think that after Rongguo Hou paid back the money owed to the court, other officials who owed money should also be prepared. Not to mention paying back the full amount of the money owed, but being able to pay part of it, or even a tenth of it." One, I estimate that the imperial court can also help the people of the Li people."

Look, look, look, the subtext of what this said is, if you don't pay it back, you just don't want to save the people of Li.However, it can be regarded as not forcing those who are in debt or who cannot repay to a dead end. Listen, it is not the full amount, but a part, or a tenth.

"Lin Aiqing, who do you think will handle this matter?"

"This..." Lin Hai was about to scold his mother, and he suggested that someone should collect the debt, not to offend anyone. "See what the saint wants."

He didn't say any more today, and he also felt that he was asking too much.

"Then let's discuss with the cabinet. Today, we will decide on the regulations and candidates for disaster relief, and recover those who owe money. Tomorrow, after the Xiaochao meeting, we will send people to do it immediately. Tomorrow, we will get the money."

The saint finished speaking and left...

The cabinet ministers composed of six ministers were left behind, looking at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Hu Shangshu from the Ministry of War spoke first.

"Li Shangshu, this old man owes a lot of money. If you want to pay it all at once, it's not enough. I'll go home and have a look. At least I can pay back ten or two."

Li Shangshu from the household department nodded, a little bit. "Thank you, old Hu Zhengyi, for your help. Why don't you go back to the Ministry of War to blow the wind. Most of the people who owe money are from the Ministry of War."

Hu Shangshu nodded and left the cabinet first.Alas, I owe money, why did my ancestors believe in Tai/zu, borrowed money to house disabled veterans, and didn't get cash for the rewards I deserved for building houses.If it hadn't been for the fact that our ancestors had earned a little more during the Southern and Northern Wars, I'm afraid that if he had to sleep on the streets, he wouldn't be worth the hundreds of thousands.

Hu Shangshu brought the news back to the Ministry of War that the imperial court was short of money for disaster relief and wanted to recover part, or one-tenth, of the money owed.

"The old man told you that the money owed will have to be repaid sooner or later. This time, it will be a tenth. You go back to prepare and send the money to the household department before sunset tomorrow."

The prince of Shan Guogong was almost ready to leave, so he got into Jia Amnesty's public house.

"Enhou, tell me, how much should I pay back?"

"As much as you have, it's too early." Jia She said to Niu Shizi in a low voice, "I can still buy it from the sage."

"Okay, listen to you."

In the past two years, Niu Shizi, because of Chengjiu, a partnership with Jia She and Lin Hai, has led his restaurant business to become the first in the capital.Especially in winter, the diners in his restaurant are also limited to supplying Chengjiu, and there is only so much per table every day.Otherwise, how could he be willing to make his concubine sister a concubine for Jia She and Lin Hai, just because he wanted to cooperate for a long time.It's a pity that neither of them dared to accept his sister.Who dares to be the same as Taishang!This reason made him return, and it also made him lose his temper at all.

After Hu Shangshu left the cabinet, the remaining few people, compared with previous years, made a slight modification of the disaster relief strategy and specific implementation methods.The candidate is still from the household department.

Lin Hai thought about it and suggested: "Send a few more censors to supervise, and people from the Ministry of Punishment should follow along."

Lin Hai's proposal was immediately approved.This is good, so that after the disaster relief comes back, Yu Shitai will impeach the disaster relief officials on the basis of speculation.Originally, disaster relief is hard work, and no one can guarantee that they are not greedy at all.

Duan Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials went on to say: "The Ministry of Officials will send people from the examination department to go with them."

Now, the cabinet ministers couldn't help but sweat for the officials who went to provide disaster relief.There is the supervisor of the Yushitai, and the colleagues of the Kaogongsi. These two groups of people are the most stern and selfless.And accompanied by the Ministry of punishment.If he dared to do what he did in the past, only half of the money could be used for disaster relief, and he might end up spending his wealth and life in it.

Li Shangshu laughed a few times, and greeted Song Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "Why don't you also send a few people to see how much tools the Ministry of Industry will give to rebuild next spring."

"Li Shangshu, you, you. Send, and the Ministry of Industry will also send people."

After the written regulations were clearly written and handed in, I was overjoyed and immediately came to see the cabinet ministers, "We will follow this for disaster relief in the future." I thanked all the cabinet ministers one by one.

When Li Shangshu returned to the household department, Niu Shizi had already brought the bank note and was waiting in his office.

"Li Shangshu, I'm no better than Rong Guohou. You know about my family's affairs. I don't dare to bring money to the household department in a big way." Niu Shizi took out a box from his arms. "This is all bank notes, will you accept it?"

"Accept, just to see what bank number it is. I'm afraid that some bank numbers are too small to be exchanged, and I have to trouble the prince to change to a larger bank number."

Lin Shangshu called the two servants and a principal from the household department to come in and count the banknotes brought by Niu Shizi.Fortunately, the smallest denomination is also 50 taels, and the total is 16 taels.

"Niu Shizi, what are you doing, you wiped out the house?" Zhou Shilang asked while looking at the 50 taels of banknotes.

"Yes, yes. It's nearly one-third of the time, and I will have to buy vegetables on credit tomorrow."

"Okay, don't pretend, who doesn't know that your restaurant is making a lot of money every day."

"Haha, relying on you to support me more in the future, my old cow will also pay off the debt as soon as possible."

With the beginning of 16, Li Shangshu's frown was slightly relaxed.Just wait and see how much you can raise at sunset tomorrow.

Following in was the Shijia brothers, who paid back 10 taels, and then Beijing Wangfu, who paid back 10 taels.

Today, while drinking tea and chatting with Cheng Yin, he said, "Fansen, it's a good thing you recommended Lin Hai to Beijing. This disaster relief alone is worth fighting for him."

"It's all the blessings of the saints. The salt tax in the two Huaihe Rivers, Lin Hai explained clearly, and it has not been less than before in the past few years."

"That's right. The Empress finally left me a useful one."

There are those who can afford it, and those who cannot afford it.There are those who rush to return it, and those who hesitate to return it.

Jia Amnesty went back to Rongguo Mansion, after dinner, he decided to go to Ningguo Mansion next door.No matter how it is divided into sects, when encountering such a major event, it is better to be notified immediately.

When Jia Zhen heard that Jia Amnesty was coming, she hurried over from the backyard.

"Uncle She, rare guest, sit down quickly."

Jia Amnesty sat down and didn't serve any tea, so he said to Jia Zhen: "Zhen'er, how much are you going to repay the debt this time? King Beijing has already repaid [-] cash."

Let alone Jia Zhen, he is not short of money, and his Dongfu is richer than Rongfu, so he just doesn't want to pay it back.He even thought, if you give me the Marquis, I will pay it back, nothing, hmph...

"Uncle She, this, this, my nephew will ask my father tomorrow."

"Sooner or later, I have to pay it back. It's not too late today. If you offend him and earn the reputation of raiding the house, he will be able to collect all the money owed."

Jia Amnesty was angry. Seeing Jia Zhen's prevarication, he didn't even drink tea and went back straight away.

"Hey, Uncle She, let's do it for a while when we come here, so we haven't had a good chat."

"No, there will be a small court meeting tomorrow. You should also go to bed early."

There is a group of people who worry about owed money, and another group of people who are anxious about repaying the money, except for Jia Zhen, who just can’t afford it.But even if you can’t afford it, you have to pay back even one tenth.That night, I don't know how many people couldn't sleep because of their distress.

Also unable to sleep, still unable to sleep, and Lin Hai.He is not for money, but for his sick son, Min Guan'er.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the snow hit his eyebrows. Lin Hai was arrested by the emperor in the court, and he spoke first in the cabinet.As for the mansion, when he found that the temperature had dropped, he repeatedly reminded the Ji family to take good care of the two children in the main courtyard.Because Brother Mu is in Guiying's yard, don't worry about him, Guiying sees his son as more precious than his eyeballs.In Daiyu's courtyard, not only is the rich nanny taking care of her, but Yingchun is acting like an adult now because she is going to get married next year.The two cousins ​​took care of the little girl Manman very meticulously.

The only thing to worry about is Chen Guan'er and Min Guan'er in Ji's courtyard.

Chen Guan'er was so lively that Ji couldn't control her, and she couldn't bear to be tough.The four servant girls chased after him, but they couldn't chase him away.As soon as the inner and outer rooms were turned upside down, Min Guan'er caught a cold.

When Ji discovered that Min Guan'er had caught a cold, she hurriedly covered her youngest son on the kang and refused to go out to play in the snow.But she couldn't control Chen Guan'er tossing about, one of them didn't stop, and the big snow ball was handed to Min Guan'er.When Lin Hai returned home at night, Min Guan'er had already started to have a fever and vomit. The old doctor Zhao gave the child a second dose of medicine, but the fever still did not go away.
