Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

Jinyao thought that something serious had happened, she pulled her hair hastily, she didn't care to straighten her crumpled clothes, she put on a thin cloak and hurried out.

"What happened?"

Fourth master's expression is fair:

"It's a matter of the imperial court. The spring floods in the south come early. I heard that Huguang and other places are suffering from floods. The emperor sent me to help the disaster."

"Do you want me to pack your things for you?" Jin Yao hurriedly thought about what to bring to the south, what clothes and medicines.

"I need to pack up, but you also go together, Ningchuge and Hongzhi will work hard on your second sister-in-law for a while." He didn't forget the people in the house, don't wait for him to come back and someone will have an accident.

"It's no problem to take care of the children, but when does the prince plan to go out? Why don't you ask the second master to come back and discuss it?"

They lived in Hunan for so many years before, and they have seen the spring and autumn floods, and the details inside are very complicated.

Fourth Master nodded:

"It's not too late, my master has sent people to the Xishan camp."

Jinyao had no choice but to bring her back to the palace.

This was the first time she returned to the mansion after leaving, and Jin Yao could hardly recognize the appearance of her yard.

There are traces of construction everywhere, here is a pile of soil, there is a pile of stones, this is the first time Jinyao has seen such a scene, people are stunned.

Fourth master was a little embarrassed:

"I forgot that the yard is still being repaired, why don't you ask the people around you to clean it up, and live in the house today or last year?"

Jin Yao smiled:

"Because I've never seen this scene before, I'm a little surprised. It's not that the house can't live in people, and I'm going back and forth. Let's spend the night first." I'm afraid the road will be hard.

What Jinyao said is true. They are going to Hubei, and it would be more comfortable to take the waterway without bumps, but now it is the season of rising water, the waterway is almost blocked, and most boats are afraid to go.

For safety's sake, she could only go by land, and took a horse-drawn carriage to Hubei with a large amount of supplies. Thinking of the road conditions and the refugees on the road, Jinyao was a little scared.

But it was rare to be able to go out with her, and she still cherished this opportunity.

Generally, the princes and ministers who go out of Beijing to do business are usually served by concubines. The fourth master is good, he is not afraid of being laughed at, so he directly brings her out.

Jin Yao nodded in satisfaction, she likes to go out with her, she doesn't care about being criticized, she doesn't care about sour words about her status, she prefers to be affordable compared to the problem of face, there are a few women in the house who can go out a few times in a lifetime!

In a good mood, the discomfort on the road is not unbearable.

Not many people came out this time, the fourth master brought the captain of the guards in the mansion Zuo Ping, the best blood drop leader Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian's twenty or so masters.

Originally, Jin Ling wanted to follow her to protect Jinyao, but she happened to find out that she was pregnant, so how could Jinyao work on her again?

Bringing Feiling and Yuling, Zhuling and Nanny Sun, Gao Wuyong and others were left in Nianfu to take care of the children.

"How long will it take to get to Hubei?"

When I first left the city, I found it fresh, but after seeing the same scenery for a long time, I felt bored, especially the farther away from the capital, the people I met were mostly ragged, yellow and hungry. Now it is the busy season of spring farming, and they are actually hungry Working in the fields on their stomachs.

Jinyao feels a little uncomfortable. The city and the outside are like two worlds. Living in the capital, it’s almost the same if you don’t talk about singing and dancing every day. Who would have thought that there are still people in the countryside outside the city who can’t eat enough? life.

Fourth Master naturally saw it too, and sighed:

"In fact, the emperor should let the ministers and princes in the court come out more often to see what kind of life the people are living, so as to save them from doing all kinds of useless things."

"Pfft..." Jin Yao couldn't help being laughed at by him:

"It's no wonder that I don't have many close friends in the court. Does it mean that the courtiers are not practical in your eyes?" Because he himself is a pragmatic person.

Fourth Master didn't think there was anything wrong with being pragmatic.

"Of course there are ministers who can do practical things for the people, but there are too few!" Most of them are honest officials, and it is difficult to sit in a high position, and the right to speak is not high.

Jinyao swallowed the words again.

"Just say what you want, and I won't blame you if you say something wrong!" Fourth Master said puzzled.

Jin Yao shook her head, she almost said that when you become emperor, will you reuse those upright officials?

"It's nothing, I'm afraid it's not that the emperor doesn't know this truth, but that there are many difficulties and many last resorts."

Fourth master sighed and nodded:

"You're right! Different positions have different perspectives when thinking about problems. Now I just want to do more things to benefit the people, so that the common people can eat enough and wear warm clothes."

Jin Yao looked at him softly:

"So fourth brother is a good official!"

Fourth Master was amused by her simple words:

"I can't be regarded as a Shangguan. It's rare for Huang Ama to be lucky enough to be sent out to do errands, so I will definitely suffer when I come out this time. You have to be prepared."

Jin Yao was silent:

"Is there still danger?"

Fourth master was really surprised:

"What did you guess?"

"If it's just an ordinary escort of disaster relief food, why do you need the fourth brother to go in person? What's more, because of this matter, you can still 'fish out' the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother. Obviously, things are not as simple as they seem."

Fourth Master looked at Jin Yao and smiled:

"It's my luck to have Jin'er!"

Jin Yao raised her chin triumphantly:

"Then needless to say, you only know now!"

Fourth master held her in his arms:

"You know it the first time you see it!"

"Don't change the subject. You should talk to me carefully. I can guard against any danger."

Fourth Master nodded:

"I didn't tell you originally, not because I was afraid that you would know, but because I was afraid that you would be afraid."

"Is there the danger that happened years ago? I wasn't afraid that time, how could I be afraid this time?"

"It's different. That time the danger was clear, but this time it was dark."

After thinking about it, fourth master decided to explain it to her more clearly.

"Do you know what Grandpa's main task is this time?"

"Could it be to inspect the embankment?"

It is not surprising that the fourth master has already learned Jinyao's intelligence and transparency.

"This is only one aspect, and there is also the need to supervise embankment construction and thoroughly investigate officials who have embezzled embankment funds in previous years."

Jinyao understands that the emperor finally doesn't want to put up with these moths.

"You know the formula of the cement has been uploaded by the Lord. Last year, the emperor sent people to send hundreds of truckloads of cement to Changping Dam in Jiangcheng, Hubei. This year, there was another flood in Changping!"

Fourth master's face was not very good-looking.

He entered the cement formula for the benefit of the people, how could he think that those corrupt officials would dare to go for it!If he finds out, he will never spare anyone!

Jinyao understood, and sighed helplessly:

"When my father was in office before, he would hear that there were floods every year, but the protection was timely and the damage would not be too serious. Since the emperor sent four brothers to supervise this time, the disaster should be serious, right?"

"Whether it is light or heavy, you can only know when you go to the place. The memorial reported by the local officials cannot be trusted at all."

Jin Yao nodded:

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I will pay attention to my own safety, and you too, you can't go out alone, Zhao Qian and Zuo Ping easily left the side, don't make me worry!"

Fourth master caressed her face:

"Don't worry, I don't want to die at the hands of these corrupt officials, everything is prepared."

Jinyao didn't know what he meant by being prepared, but he definitely wouldn't be able to use it on the road. As soon as he entered Jingzhou, Jinyao and his party were surrounded by refugees.

The accompanying officials tried desperately to explain that these supplies were meant to be distributed to them, but not all of them, and asked them to go to the city to wait for a unified distribution. How could the refugees listen?

A crowd of people gathered around to snatch it.

Grab relief supplies from the imperial court?That would be a violation of the law of the country, and the soldiers would not soften their hearts. If they dared to step forward, they would be ruthless. Even so, they did not stop many.

Fourth Master sighed:

"□□Get ready!"

The soldiers of the firearms battalion who were escorted brought out their guns.

One of them shot the leader of the refugees from a distance, and the leader fell down in response, and then the refugees were restrained, and they dared not go forward again.

"I am the fourth son of the current emperor, and I came to Hubei for disaster relief at the emperor's order! The emperor knows your situation and has not given up on you. Don't rush to grab it. Tell each other familiar folks and form a team to prepare Take the food with your pocket, go to the city to find the government office, and distribute it there!

If you don't listen and dare to step forward to snatch it, you have violated the law of the country and will be executed immediately! "

Refugees look at me, I look at you, the leader is dead, they don't know who to listen to.

At this time, an old man from behind stepped forward:

"Your Majesty is really a prince?"

Fourth Master nodded:

"No one dares to impersonate the royal family!"

"The emperor hasn't given up on us pariahs?"

"You are not untouchables, you are the emperor's subjects. Now you just lost your fields in a disaster in your hometown. When the water subsides, you can still rebuild your village and start farming again. The emperor will not abandon his subjects!"

"Okay, okay, as long as the emperor still cares about us! Folks, let's hurry up and inform the people who escaped from other villages. We'll know if it's true or not if we go to the government office!"

"But we can't even enter the city. The magistrate ordered people to close the city gate to prevent refugees from entering."

Fourth master took a deep breath:

"Don't worry, you can follow us into the city!"

As soon as this was said, the refugees believed eight percent, and rushed to find acquaintances to tell the good news.

Jin Yao couldn't believe her eyes:

"Do the people in Jingzhou live like this? Seriously, during the six years in Hunan, I haven't seen many refugees. There are beggars and refugees, but there are not many of them. The government will solve them soon. .”

Fourth Master sighed:

"Your father is considered a capable minister. Not only can he lead soldiers to fight, but he can also be a good official. In addition, your mother is capable. He doesn't need to collude with others for money. He can naturally be an upright and good official. The common people are much more secure!" In comparison, the current governor of Huguang is far behind.

My father is still happy to be praised by the fourth master Jinyao, but seeing these refugees, I really feel uncomfortable. The men are fine, and the women are one by one... It really should be the courtiers who like to moan without illness. Look, how should the women they talk about pay attention to their appearance, how should they stay out of the house, and now these women can't eat, and they can't even dress properly. How can they pay attention to etiquette?It's time for them to be fully equipped!

There are also children, crying from hunger or cold, she really can't take a look at them. Ever since she had a child, she has never hardened her heart towards the child.

urged:

"Hurry up and go to the city. After the handover is completed, the relief supplies will be distributed earlier, so that they can eat something earlier."

Fourth Master naturally meant the same thing. The coachman accelerated his horse and reached the gate of the city in less than half an hour.
