Eighth Master cuts leeks in Qing Chuanwen

Yunxu exited from the main hall, and the prince followed behind, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, looking in a good mood, he deliberately took a few steps to block Yunxu.

Yunyu wanted to take a step to the left, Prince Yinreng took a step to the left, and Yunxu wanted to go around to the right, so the prince took a step to the right, just to block Yunxu's way.

Yunyu stood still, looked at Prince Yinreng calmly, and said calmly, "May I ask the Prince if you have anything to tell me?"

The prince raised his lips and sneered, stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of satisfaction, and said, "How?"

"How about what?" Yunxu said, "May I ask what the prince is referring to?"

The prince said: "Don't pretend to be confused. What I said is about 10 taels of disaster relief money! Three days or something, good brother, what do you use as disaster relief money? The moon in the sky?"

Yunxu still had that calm look, as if in his eyes, the 10 taels of disaster relief money was just a small amount of money at the flick of a finger, nothing more than a drizzle.

The prince just didn't like Yunxu's appearance, like a born fairy, and tried to win him over to join his side several times, but the old eight just dismissed it.In recent days, Lao Ba's unmoving posture has become more and more "intense".

In fact, the crown prince doesn’t know that Yunxi didn’t want to stretch him, intentionally not to stand in line, and intentionally take advantage of him, but Yunxi didn’t want to participate in the factional dispute between him and the uncle at all. In the next day, Yunyu didn't want to participate in the slightest, so she hid far away. An knew that she was treated as a fake by the crown prince.

Prince Yinfeng said: "Eighth brother, you and I are brothers. Many people say that brothers are like siblings. If you gather together with me at this time, I can plead for you in front of Huang Ama. You know Yes, I am the crown prince of the East Palace, and I am deeply favored by Huang Ama, although you have spoken big words about the relief money, but if I plead for mercy, Huang Ama might punish you lightly."

"Big talk?" Yunxu smiled faintly, and said, "I've troubled the crown prince, but my younger brother didn't talk big."

"What did you say!?" Prince Yinfeng glared at him: "At this point, are you still stubborn? Let alone three days, even one month, you still can't get enough 10 taels of disaster relief money! Even if you get enough Silver taels, the surrounding disasters and roads are difficult to travel, how do you transport such a huge amount of 10 taels of disaster relief money? Isn’t this a lie?”

Yunxu looked at Prince Yinreng, as if looking at a little workman spoiled to the point of being irrationally minded, and even smiled kindly.

That's right, isn't the crown prince just a little trickster spoiled to the point of making trouble for no reason?Kangxi always loved the prince's benevolence and weakness, and felt that the prince was like himself when he was young. Therefore, whenever the prince committed something, and the prince had not found a reason to excuse him, Kangxi first excused his son.

There is also a whip hanging around the prince's waist. This whip is a reward from Emperor Kangxi, but if the prince doesn't go his way, he will use this whip to whip the palace people, whether it is eunuchs, maids or maids. , there is no one who has not been beaten by the prince. What's more, the prince ordered the court official to kneel on the ground and let himself be whipped.However, these servants didn't dare to say a word after being beaten. It's fine if you don't make trouble in front of the emperor. If you make trouble in front of the emperor, it must be your fault. How could it be his precious son's fault?

Over time, the prince's temper became more and more perverse.In front of Kangxi, he was the benevolent and docile Prince of the East Palace; behind Kangxi, Yinfeng became a "many beautiful women who raised faces", a licentious and violent novel Refined.

Yunyu calmly faced the prince who was looking for faults from heaven and earth, and said calmly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, what you say in the end will definitely be fulfilled."

"Okay! Very good!" The prince smiled angrily, "I'd like to see how you managed to collect 10 taels of disaster relief money in three days! My ugly words are in front of me. If you don't want to Follow Bengong, that's good, then don't blame Bengong for submitting a book to you in front of Huang Ama, deceiving the emperor and ignoring the disaster!"

Yunxu cupped her hands respectfully, and said, "Prince, please don't worry, if my younger brother fails to collect enough relief money, I will receive the punishment in front of the Holy Spirit, and I dare not bother His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Humph!"

The more Prince Yinfeng listened, the more angry he became, he flicked his sleeve robe, gave a cold snort, and simply turned around and left. He was afraid that he would continue talking to Yunxu, and he was afraid that his anger would become a swollen toad, and then he would explode with anger.

The prince left angrily, shaking his sleeves all the way, really angry at Yunxuan.

Not long after he left, Yunxu smiled slightly, and said to the empty air, "Eavesdropping on a corner is not something a gentleman would do."

stomping on...

It was Xu Yin. Sure enough, someone turned out from the back of the big house. The wall at the corner blocked his figure. That person was standing nearby all the time, but Prince Yinfeng was too excited, so he didn't pay much attention at all.

The visitor came out and stood upright in front of Yunxu, with a meticulous face and a cold and serious expression, isn't he the most difficult Sibeiler Yinzhen in the capital?

Yinzhen said: "You know why you said those two words to the prince. The prince is used to being spoiled. Naturally, he will not be angry if you talk to him like this."

Although the prince is old and ranked second, but he is proud and not as stable as his younger brothers.

That's right, Yunxi did it on purpose just now, and the "calm cloud and light wind" that the prince dislikes is all Yunxi's intention.Yunhu knew that he couldn't understand her appearance, so she just wanted to show him her appearance.

There was a trace of slyness in Yunxu's smile, and she said, "There is an old saying that my younger brother likes very much--I will not offend if I am not attacked. My younger brother is a person who does not like to fight with others, and is too lazy to fight with others. But The crown prince bullied me to the door of the house, and made me trip up, if I didn't say anything, wouldn't I be too cowardly?"

Yinzhen stared at Yunxi, as if re-examining him, and then said after a while: "So you also have a temper."

"Zishi." Yunhu naturally has a temper, but he is usually too lazy to compete with others, so he will always be misunderstood as a temperless, or even a saint.

But on the contrary, Yunhu is not the Holy Mother, and even has a little narrow-minded and grudge.

Yinzhen said: "You issue a military order in front of the emperor, 10 taels of disaster relief money, what do you plan to do?"

Yunyu didn't take it seriously at all, and her attitude was very peaceful. It seemed that what they were discussing was not the 10 taels of disaster relief money, but what to eat tonight.Yun Hu smiled and said, "Please don't worry, Fourth Brother, I have my own plan in mind."

"Eighth brother..." Yinzhen wanted to say something, but before he could say it, Yunxi had already interrupted him: "Fourth brother, mother-in-law and mother will grow old."

Yinzhen:"……"

After talking a few words with Brother Cheap, Shi Shi ran to his house, and when he got to the door, he saw someone turning the mill in front of his door, round and round, Almost turned into a donkey.

"Ninth brother?" Yunxu called out to the other party.

"Brother!" It really was the old nine, and the old nine Yinzhen immediately ran over and said, "Mynah! You are so anxious to death! Why did you come back! Disaster relief money! How can the disaster relief be good?"

Yinzhen didn't give Yunxu a chance to speak, and said in a series of words: "Yes! My brother still has some savings, 10 taels! You can still take out 10 taels, so I'll hurry up and get 10 taels! It doesn't take much time to rush from here to the capital, and then rush to deliver the relief money, and then..."

Yunhu interface: "Then it was too late."

Old Nine: "..."

Yunxuan said: "You can hurry up, but not the disaster relief money, so why don't you let the disaster relief money roll?"

Lao Jiu: "..." Get out, get out?

Yunyu said again: "You have the heart, and you don't hesitate to lend me 10 taels. I am very touched, and I appreciate it."

The old nine muttered: "Brother, you just mocked that the relief money was rolled out, how could you be moved at all?"

Yunxu smiled and said, "I'm joking with you, why do you take it seriously?"

The old nine said anxiously: "What time is it? Mynah, you are still joking! I am almost dying of anxiety!" Yunyu comforted: "Don't worry, there is no need to panic, your mynah knows it well."

Hearing what he said, Lao Jiu was inexplicably relieved, yes, the starling knows it well!Then I am relieved.

Yinzhen didn't even realize that he hadn't heard what the starling said about the number and the method, but he already believed it.

Yunyu said: "Actually... I still need your help, Lao Jiu, on this matter."

"Tell me! Starling, how much money do you want!" Lao Jiu patted his chest generously, and said: "To tell you the truth, my brother still has some savings, although it is not much, but it is right to leave the money to me!

Yunxu hurriedly interrupted his impassioned speech, and said, "Brothers talk about money, it hurts feelings. Let's not talk about money. I need you to help me with something, to run errands."

Lao Jiu became even more curious, and said, "Doing errands? Running errands?"

Yunxu nodded, and said: "The crown prince is targeting me, but anyone who has made a move can see it. If I go to run this matter myself, I am afraid that the crown prince will see the clue and will trip me secretly. By then three The sky may not be able to collect the disaster relief money, so I want to ask the ninth brother who is steady, mature, righteous, and well-rounded to help my brother run errands."

"That's it!" Lao Jiu listened to his praise, and when Yunhu said something, his waist straightened up, and he looked very proud, and said: "What's the matter, myna, tell me! It's heaven!" The moon, my brother will pick it off for you!"

Yunxu beckoned to Lao Jiu and said, "Come here with your ears."

Lao Jiu Yinzhen immediately leaned over and approached Yunxuan. Yunxuan shook his sleeves and put his hands together and said a few words in Lao Jiu's ear. Lao Jiu nodded while listening, and showed a suddenly realized expression: "That's right, that's right... oh—that's what happened..."

Lao Jiu smiled and said: "Brother, you said it earlier, it was such a good idea? It made my brother worry for nothing! Don't worry, brother will go now!"

"Wait, Brother Jiu!" Yunyu stopped Lao Jiu who was about to leave in a hurry, took out a thing from his sleeve and handed it to Lao Jiu, saying: "This is my seal, and it will be easier to do things with the seal. "

"That's right, look at my brain, I almost forgot about it!" Lao Jiu took Yunxu's seal and said, "Brother, don't worry, just wait and treat me well!"

The old nine left in a hurry, Yunxi went back to the house slowly and sat for a while, drank a bowl of tea, then Shi Shiran stood up, left the house unhurriedly, swayed leisurely, and sat in the courtyard He walked to the porridge field in front of the mansion of the governor of Hedao.

Yunhu issued a military order in front of the king, and everyone thought that Yunhu should be the busiest at this time, but who knew that he was the most leisurely, and kept wandering around.

When Yunxu came to the porridge market, the long queue for porridge delivery continued unbroken, and she was still delivering porridge. Because of her experience, the refugees queuing up were organized and the porridge place was not in a mess.

As soon as Yunxu walked over, a refugee recognized Yunxu, knelt down immediately, and shouted: "Guan Ye, it is Guan Ye who is here!"

"Grandpa!"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"

The refugees were very enthusiastic. Seeing Yunxuan was very excited. When one person knelt down, two people knelt down, four people knelt down, and even hundreds of people knelt down. .

Yunxu quickly walked a few steps, helped up the old man and the child at hand, and said, "You don't need to be polite, please get up! Everyone, please get up."

The refugees didn't want to get up, and the old man said tremblingly, "My lord, let us kneel down! Before you came, we were all determined to die, and we would die of hunger and thirst at some point, but now , you came, we suddenly had hope, and we survived again, how should we repay such a great kindness? Even if we die, we cannot repay him!"

Yun Hu hesitated and said, "Actually..."

He seemed to have some unspeakable secret: "I really have one thing that I need you to return."

The refugees looked at each other, not knowing what Yunhu was talking about.

The old man shouted: "This... I don't know what the old man is talking about? It's not that we don't want to help, but we... have no fields to plow, no work to do, we are a bunch of useless people, what else can we do?" usefulness?"

"As long as there is something that can help the Elder Master, the Elder Master can just ask!"

"That's right, we have a cheap life at our side, no more and no less, and we should repay all of them to the Elder Master!"

Yunyu smiled: "Human life is at stake, how precious it is, no matter whether you are high or low. I will not take your life. This matter... It is said to help me, but it is actually good for you. Harmful, with food and shelter."

"How is it?" Prince Yinreng was sitting in the room. He had no official business, but he was restless at this moment, when he suddenly heard someone walk into the room, he immediately asked a question.

Chang Sui replied: "Return to the crown prince's words, the servant went to inquire, this... this eighth master has nothing to do, he is giving porridge now!"

"She porridge?"

It turned out that the prince was worried about Yunxu. Seeing that Yunxu was so calm and confident, he was afraid that he would really change the 10 taels of disaster relief money from the sky, so people followed Yunxu and observed secretly. If there is really any movement on the ground, it is better to destroy it in advance, and we must not let him succeed in front of the emperor!

The crown prince was dumbfounded, rubbing the gold-plated finger on his thumb, and said slowly: "Does he still have this spare time to give up porridge?"

"Who says it's not?" Chang Sui responded with a dozen of them, carefully flattering the prince: "From my slave's point of view, this eighth master is just like that. He must think that there is no way out for 10 taels, so he simply Broken cans, broken, waited for three days, and begged for mercy in front of the emperor, that’s all! Prince, think about it, it’s good to put it in a nearby place for these three days, but this is a disaster area, and the roads are broken. Even if you have collected enough 10 taels of silver, how can you deliver it in three days?"

Prince Yinfeng sneered, and said: "It seems that it is true, the old man is broken, this time he must make a fool of himself in front of the emperor, I will see how he can do it!"

The long follower said flatteringly: "Prince, what you said is very true! Very true! How can the eighth master compete with our East Palace? It is purely an egg hitting a rock, vulnerable! It is simply asking for humiliation!"

The crown prince was flattered and flattered by the chief follower, and said: "However... you still have to keep an eye on this palace at all times. If there is any change in the old man, you will report it immediately without delay, understand?"

"Your servant knows! This servant knows!" Chang Sui said, "This servant is going to keep a close eye on Master Ba. He doesn't even take a single glance."

"Go."

Seeing that the three days are about to pass, Yunxuan's small life is very leisurely. Every day, he goes to the dining room to cook porridge, then goes to the porridge market to sell porridge, chats with refugees, and nothing else. I don't see him raising money at all. Or ship silver taels.

As soon as the three-day deadline came, Prince Yinreng couldn't sit still, and immediately went to see Kangxi with great interest, preparing to wear small shoes for Yunxuan.

Once the crown prince changed his arrogant and indulgent appearance, he came to pay respects in front of Kangxi in a very obedient and cowardly manner, and said solemnly, "My son pays respects to Huang Ama."

When Kangxi saw the prince, how smart he was. After all, he was also a talented and generous monarch when he was young. Isn’t it necessary to talk about three days and three nights of great achievements in flattening San Francisco and expelling Tsarist Russia?

As soon as Kangxi saw the prince coming, he knew what the prince was going to say. He deliberately didn't ask the prince, but instead smiled and said something, just to leave a way out for Yunxuan.

However, Prince Yinfeng is not very good at reading facial expressions, so he just wanted to talk about the military order, so he cupped his hands and said, "Huang Ama, the three-day deadline has come, and the eighth younger brother issued a military order a few days ago to raise 10 taels within three days." Relief money, I swear on it, I must... now the eighth brother has prepared the relief money, this disaster waits for no one, if we can raise money for disaster relief as soon as possible, it will be a good thing for the people."

The crown prince had already said this, and Kangxi couldn't pretend to be confused, so he said, "Call all your younger brothers."

"It's Huang Ama!" The prince was very excited, and immediately went to send a message.

Yunxi, Yinzhen, Thirteenth and Fourteenth were all summoned to the main hall of Governor Hedao's mansion, but Lao Jiu was not in the mansion, he didn't know what to do, Kangxi and the prince were already waiting.

When everyone walked in, the prince immediately raised an alarm, saying: "Eighth brother, 10 taels of disaster relief money, are you ready?"

QUR

Yunxuan immediately became the focus of everyone, and everyone focused on Yunxuan.But seeing that Ba Ye was not in a hurry, calm and relaxed, he had a fairy-like appearance. Looking at his appearance, he looked like a banished fairy in the sky, which is rare in the world!

Yunxu said politely: "The prince doesn't know something, the three-day period has not yet expired."

The prince sneered and said, "Eighth brother, are you trying to shirk responsibility? If you can't get the disaster relief money together, you can't get it together. Why do you find some excuses?"

Yunyu said: "Prince, look, it's still early, there is still half an hour in the three-day period."

The prince stared, yes, it is true that there is still half an hour, but do you have to worry about half an hour?He didn't believe it anymore. After half an hour, Yunhu could conjure flowers?

Yunyu cupped her hands and said: "Ama Huang, the three-day period has not yet expired, and I implore Huang Ama to wait another half an hour."

Kangxi nodded, and said: "I promise you everything, it's only half an hour, just wait."

So everyone sat down quietly, and began to sit and demonstrate with big eyes and small eyes. Before a stick of incense*, everyone was very calm at first, and no one said anything, so they sat quietly.

After a stick of incense...

Little Thirteen was the first one who couldn't sit still, he moved on the chair, turned his head and whispered to Fourteen next to him: "Shishi, you've always been smart, tell me what kind of medicine is sold in the starling's gourd? "

Shisi is indeed smart, he is the smartest among many younger brothers, he is stable and polite at a young age, he is the prince whom Kangxi placed high hopes on.

Of course, no matter how smart Shisi is, he didn't understand what Yunxi meant. At the moment, Shishi's mind is also a mess, but he can't say that he can't. After all, Shisan Yinxiang looked at him His eyes were full of trust, Shisi didn't want to lose face.

So Shisi deliberately said: "Brother Thirteen, be more cautious, and wait a little longer."

"It's really worrying!" Thirteen scratched the back of his head.

Half an hour, whether it is long or not, is not short, watching the time go by, half an hour will arrive soon.

The prince took out his western pocket watch, and counted the seconds without blinking, and he was just short of the last moment, but at this moment...

Tread, step, step!

It was the sound of hurried footsteps. Someone rushed into the lobby quickly. Before everyone could see the appearance of the visitor, they had already heard the other party's loud voice, shouting carelessly: "Mynah! I'm back!"

It was the voice of the ninth younger brother Yinzhen.

Yunxu smiled slightly, and said firmly: "The time is just right, no more, no less, exactly three days... the relief money is here."

Prince Yinfeng was taken aback, and stared at Yunxu in disbelief, disaster relief money?Isn't Lao Jiu here? What does it have to do with the disaster relief bank?

Lao Jiu walked in from the outside, saluted Kangxi first, then waved his hands and said, "Hurry up! Bring them all in!"

Followed by a few attendants, carrying heavy and large boxes, "bang bang bang" a few times, they lined up the boxes and placed them in the lobby.

The main room is spacious, and it is full of boxes.

Yunxu walked up to the box with a smile, bent slightly, and hooked her slender index finger, "Click!" With a soft sound, the buckle of the box was pulled open, and the box opened the lid in response.

"Ho..."

Everyone gasped, especially Prince Yinreng, staring at the box with the lid open in disbelief, it was...

A chest full of silver!

These boxes are full of silver!

"This...how is this possible?" The prince immediately stepped forward and opened the other boxes by himself. Sure enough, they were all filled with silver, and every box was full. The silver, below is also silver taels, there is absolutely no one who is imitating it, and all of them are pure silver, and the color is very beautiful. One can tell at a glance that these silvers are rarely circulated, and they are not like the dirty silver on the market.

There was also a little surprise in Yinzhen's eyes, he got up to check the silver taels, he picked up the silver taels and turned them over, looked at the engravings on the bottom of the silver taels, then showed a clear expression, and even chuckled lightly, Said: "That's how it is."

Kangxi was also taken aback when he saw Yin Zi, he wanted to have sex with Si Ni, but he didn't know that he didn't need to be with Si Ni, the old eight really did it?

Yunyu cupped her hands and said, "Please take a look at Huang Ama, here is the disaster relief money."

The prince came back to his senses, and said in a stumbling manner, "You... where did you get your disaster relief money from? Don't let it be some shady dirty money?"

"Dirty money?" Yunyu smiled slightly, picked up a silver coin and looked it up in his hand, and said, "Please look into it, the crown prince, how can this be dirty money?"

Only then did the prince notice the engraving on the bottom of the silver, and he blurted out in shock: "Interest-bearing silver from Guangshanku?!"

"Exactly." Yun Hu nodded calmly.

A few days ago, Yunxu "brilliantly shined" at Kangxi's birthday banquet and won Kangxi's favor. Kangxi liked it and gave Yunhu the job of Guangshanku.

As I said before, Guangshan Treasury is the place to manage interest-bearing silver.Interest-bearing silver in the Qing Dynasty was one of the important revenues and expenditures of the treasury, and the annual turnover should not be underestimated.

The Guangshan treasury managed by Yunhu is to borrow money that is temporarily unused in the treasury. On the one hand, it can alleviate the livelihood problems of officials. The interest fills the treasury.

The Guangshan Library managed by Yunxuan is mainly for salt merchants. It lends money to salt merchants and charges interest every year.We must know that the salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty were representatives of wealth and honor, and the interest collected from them was definitely a lot.

Kangxi laughed and said, "Old Ba, tell me, what's going on here?"

Yun Hu replied: "Yes. It's actually very simple to return to Huang Ama. As the prince said, these silver coins are all interest-bearing silver collected from salt merchants."

Yunxu took over Guangshanku and found that the interest on the money loaned to salt merchants this year has not been collected. He originally wanted to collect it after returning to Beijing, but he caught up with the problem of disaster relief money.

The interest-bearing silver loaned by Guangshan Library to salt merchants is 60 taels a year, and the interest is 5 taels, which can be used to control the floods of the Hunhe River.Moreover, the salt merchants were nearby, so there was no need to hurry to the capital, nor to transport silver taels from the capital all the way, which was very cheap.

In addition, the interest-bearing silver of the salt merchants was in arrears, so Yunhu asked Lao Jiu for help, and went to urge the payment with his own Guangshan library seal letter. Repay the loan immediately, and don't even think about borrowing Guangshanku's interest-bearing silver next year, so the salt merchants moved very quickly, and they immediately repaid the loan as soon as Master Jiu urged them.

Not only was he quick, but he also had a very good attitude, so he sent a carriage to help Jiu Ye bring back all the interest-bearing silver.

Yunxu shook the horseshoe sleeve, pointed to the rows of boxes on the ground, and said with a smile: "The allocation of disaster relief money from the capital needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry. The process is very complicated, and the capital is far away from the Hun River. Far away, the disaster-stricken area is muddy and broken. It is more difficult to transport the relief money from the capital than to the sky. The interest-bearing silver borrowed by these salt merchants is different. Please forgive the sin of Huang Ama, and the minister has the courage to temporarily embezzle 5 taels of interest-bearing silver. For disaster relief."

Kangxi was very surprised, he didn't expect to let Lao Ba manage the Guangshan Library on a whim, and there is such a thing?It can be said to be quite flexible.

Kangxi said with a smile: "It seems that my sons have grown up, and they really have made a lot of achievements. It is an eye-opener! How can I blame you? The interest-bearing silver is used for these things and can be used as a The disaster relief money is well spent.”

The crown prince wanted to rectify Yunxu, but in the end Yunxu was praised vigorously by Kangxi. How could the prince bear this breath, and immediately had an idea, and said: "Huang Ama, although the eighth brother used the interest-bearing silver skillfully, but... The interest-bearing silver is only 5 taels, far from 10 taels!"

5 taels can actually provide disaster relief, but 10 taels is relatively conservative.

The crown prince was holding on to the wrong amount of silver, he held on, and said aggressively: "The disaster relief is a big matter, we must not be sloppy, the eighth brother is usually prudent and shrewd, why is he so confused today, half of the disaster relief money is missing, this disaster relief manpower Which item of material resources does not cost money, it is really not for my brother to say you, without the 5 taels, how can I do disaster relief?"

The prince assumed the tone of an elder brother, Yinzhen squinted his eyes, and planned to stand up and say something, but who knew that there was no need to speak by himself, Yunyu said calmly: "What the prince said is exactly."

The first person to answer the prince was Yunxu himself, and the prince was a little dazed for a while, staring at Yunxu in confusion.

Yunyu said unhurriedly: "The disaster relief is a big matter, and you must not act carelessly or prevaricate. The prince's words are perfect, and the younger brother will be taught. It is because the younger brother always has the prince's teachings in his heart, so he dare not It's a little bit of slack... But Huang Ama and the crown prince told me that three days ago, I only said that I had enough money for the disaster relief, but I didn't agree that the money for the disaster relief would be 10 taels."

"You!" The prince taunted: "Eighth brother, you don't want to argue with Huang Ama in front of you!"

These words sounded a little unreasonable, but just like what Yunxi said, he did not promise the disaster relief fund of 10 taels.

Yunxu said unhurriedly: "Dare to ask the prince, what is the purpose of the disaster relief funds?"

The prince said dismissively: "The money for disaster relief is naturally disaster relief!"

Yunxu nodded, and continued: "Since it is for disaster relief, 5 taels can be used for disaster relief, so why spend 10 taels in vain? Although my Qing treasury has sufficient silver, in the end, the silver is not blown by strong winds. If you can save it, you can save it." .”

The prince sneered and said: "Then what are you talking about, how to reduce the 10 taels of disaster relief silver to 5 taels? Clearing the river silt, although this method is the simplest in water conservancy, it is also the most time-consuming and labor-intensive. Please Labor, transporting materials, making food and setting up a shed, which one does not need disaster relief money? How can it be done in one shot?"

Yunxu took out a policy document from her sleeve robe, and said with a smile: "The crown prince is very true. Labor expenses are a large amount of expenses. Every year to deal with floods, in addition to the imperial court dispatching troops to come to rescue the disaster, it is to invite labor to come here." Disaster relief, but floods are dangerous, so the hired labor costs more money than ordinary labor... What if there is no need to hire labor?"

"No need?" the crown prince said: "Will the eighth brother go to battle in person?"

Yunxu shook the document in his hand, raised it above his head respectfully, and said: "Here is the list of laborers of Yiji, all of whom have eaten the relief food and are grateful to the emperor and the court. They don't need labor to reward them. Voluntary To contribute to the governance of the Hun River, I just ask the Holy Majesty to reward me with three meals a day, and a rough hut for rest."

After Yunhu finished speaking, she turned to the prince and asked, "I don't know if these labor expenses can be worth 5 taels?"

The prince's face was ashen, and he was speechless immediately. He never expected that Yunxu would be "playing clever".

It turned out that Yunhu went to give away the porridge at that time, in fact, to ask the refugees to help.Refugees need food on both sides. They have no fixed place to live, and all their farmland and property have been washed away by the flood. Apart from queuing up to eat porridge every day, there is nothing else to do. It is better to organize to repair the mud at the bottom of the river.

In this way, labor costs are saved, and the refugees can live a normal life as soon as possible. Therefore, Yunxi said that this is helping herself and them, and it is of no harm to the refugees.

The refugees were already grateful to Dade and admired Yunxu so much, so why not?Immediately, many refugees stamped on the documents, just waiting for the water conservancy to start and come to work.

The prince has nothing to say at this moment, all he can think of is on Yunxu's face, but Yunxu has no fear at all, and all the two or two thousand pieces of gold are returned as they are, but instead It's the prince's dull face.

Kangxi first appreciated Yunxu's management of Guangshan Library, and now he saw the documents of the refugees pleading for life, and he was full of praise for Yunxu: "Okay, that's great! Eighth, how many surprises can you give me? This You saved [-] relief money at once, indeed, we still have the money, but we can’t spend it recklessly, you did a good job!”

Yun Hu cupped her hands and said: "This is all a son's job, and Huang Ama praised it."

Kangxi nodded and said appreciatively, "Never be arrogant or impetuous, not take credit, and not be arrogant, well, it's really the best."

Every time Kangxi said something, the prince's face became ugly. He was here to trip Lao Ba, but he made a wedding dress for Lao Ba without realizing it, and let Lao Ba show himself vigorously in front of Kangxi. talent.

The prince had broken his teeth and swallowed in his stomach, he didn't vent his anger, but he couldn't express his bitterness. If he was mean and didn't let go at this time, he would appear to be too small-minded and too shallow-sighted.

So the prince was clearly very angry, but he wanted to put on an appearance of a kind brother on his face, and said kindly: "What Huang Ama said is exactly, the eighth brother is growing faster, it really makes my brother look at me with admiration. I don’t admire it. I was just thinking about the refugees for my brother, so I was outspoken for a while, if there is anything that offends you, don’t take it to your heart.”

Listening to his hypocritical and contrived words, Yunyu said flatly: "The prince is serious."

Kangxi said: "Forget it, since the disaster relief money is enough, let's start to deal with the river disaster immediately!"

With Kangxi's order, everyone started to get busy. Yang Hetai's failure to report it would be a serious crime. These days, Kangxi didn't kill Yang Hetai immediately because he needed someone else to do things. If Yang Hetai was removed immediately Ding Dai, no one takes over immediately, so there is no hands and feet to do things.

So Kangxi kept Yang Hetai at his mercy for the time being. Yang Hetai also understood this truth and wanted to make up for his mistakes.

Refugees were organized, had three meals a day, and had special huts for rest. During the day, they helped clear the silt of the Hun River, and they rested in the huts at night, which was better than sleeping in the open and living in no fixed place.

Therefore, more and more refugees heard about the labor, and a steady stream of refugees came to work, and the speed of clearing the mud became faster.

Yunhu perfectly solved the problem of disaster relief money, and also saved half of the money for the treasury, which is not a small expense.After solving the serious problem in his heart, Yunxu took a leisurely break and went to the dining room to cook porridge every day. When he had time to go to the porridge, he saw that the disaster area became more and more orderly day by day.

Yunxu just came back from the porridge shop where he was selling porridge. He had been there all day, his tired arms were sore, and he hadn't had time to eat by himself in the future. Now he was too hungry, and he was going to come back to have a meal, so he quickly rested Next, get a good night's sleep, and continue to give up porridge tomorrow.

When Yunxu returned to the house, Lan Ying had already prepared the food, and said, "Young master, why did you come back! The food is cold, Lan'er should heat it up for you!"

Yunxu stopped her, and said: "No, I don't have much appetite, just deal with a couple of casualties."

Yunxu ate in a hurry, took a few mouthfuls, and there was nothing too delicious in the disaster area, just trying not to feel hungry.

Yunhu was pawing at the rice, and then heard Lao Jiu shouting loudly: "Mynah! Mynah! Let's fight!"

Yunxi: "..."

Yunxu almost choked, coughed twice, pushed the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "Who is fighting again?"

Lao Jiu ran in and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ji!"

"Mr. Ji again?" Yun Hu rubbed his forehead. Is it Ji Zengyun again?Don't look at Ji Zengyun's gentle manner, but he seems to be very good at "fighting", as if if he doesn't fight, his tall and straight figure like a general will be blinded in vain.

Yunxu said: "What's the matter? Mr. Ji and Master Qi are fighting again?"

"No, no," Lao Jiu said, "This will
