The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 765: Thoughts

The third prince, Zhang Jingxi, sneered inwardly. This fake fifth child was getting more and more sophisticated, and he stood up with a cold face, "If the protagonist doesn't go home, I will withdraw too. Second brother, younger brother will go first."

Fourth Prince Zhang Jingshi curled his lips, "Fifth and Shen Yang, interesting."

The current fifth child is interesting!

Zhang Jinghong took the tea from Shen Yang and sneezed twice.

Shen Yang asked worriedly, "Why is the fifth prince uncomfortable?"

Zhang Jinghong said quietly: "My prince is fine, it's just that too many people talk about me."

Zhang Jingjing squinted his eyes in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, it was more than interesting, the fifth child was fake, Shen Yang didn't know if it was true, too stupid, now the fifth child went to find Shen Yang, they dared to squat in the Fifth Prince's Mansion People, but they dare not go to Shen Yang's home. They are not sure about the attitude of the father towards Shen Yang.

The next day, at the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian had just entered the room, and it was very lively today, Lu Shuji pursed his lips, "Look at him."

Chang Lian was a little confused, he didn't know what happened when he just arrived, "What's wrong?"

Young Master Lu lowered his voice, "Yesterday, the Fifth Prince stayed at Shen Yang's house, so he made a mistake when he came here this morning, showing off how good he is to the Fifth Prince."

Chang Lian was surprised, the prince treated Shen Yang differently, the fifth prince of this mother compatriot also had a good relationship with Shen Yang, he frowned, he couldn't figure it out, in his eyes, apart from Shen Yang's knowledge was really good, his emotional intelligence was really good It's not particularly high, what the Hanlin Academy lacks most is people with good knowledge, he really didn't see any other advantages of Shen Yang.

Seeing Zhou Changlian pondering, Mr. Lu lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know something?"

Chang Lian came back to his senses, "What can I know, well, leave him alone, go back and get busy."

Mr. Lu is not reconciled, he is not as good as Zhou Changlian who has a father with a good official career, and he is not as good as someone with a strong background. Shen Yang has a similar background as him, why is he not as good as Shen Yang?

In the imperial palace, Zhou Shuren stayed behind in the early court with the monk Master Shu. Today's early court is about the resettlement after the flood in the south. Together with him, there are officials from the Ministry of Officials and bachelors from the cabinet.

The emperor said: "The rain in the south has stopped, and the water level is also dropping. Now many people have been displaced. Do you have a good plan for resettlement in the later stage?"

Zhou Shuren sighed,

When the flood receded, the mud houses of farmers were almost uninhabitable. The house had to be rebuilt, the land had to be organized, and the dead bodies of people and animals had to be disposed of to prevent a plague from breaking out.

There are too many things to do in the later stage, yes, there is still food for the people, and now the people have no food in their hands, and the last thing is the repair of the embankment.

Xiao Qing frowned, every time he listened to a suggestion, he frowned, which required a lot of money.

Zhou Shuren couldn't help sighing when he heard the opening of the granary to release grain. Not much food was rescued from the fast granary brought by the flood. The disaster relief people have transferred some food these days. There are many granaries in the north, but there was not much at that time. As far as the granary in Jinzhou is concerned, two-thirds of Jinzhou's grain was transferred to support the fighting army after the year.

The situation in the northern states is similar. Even the granaries in the capital don’t have much food.

The emperor frowned, looked at the Minister of the Household Department, "Lord Xiao, do you have something to say?"

Xiao Qing pursed her lips, "Your Majesty, this time it's not that I'm crying for poverty, I really have no food."

Senior Bachelor Ding frowned, "Master Xiao, it's impossible for the granary to have no food at all, and it will be the autumn harvest in a few days. Master Xiao, don't let go of the grain."

Xiao Qing rolled his eyes in his heart, "Master Ding, you don't know if you are not in charge, the granaries in the capital really don't have any extra food."

The emperor also knew it, and signaled Lord Ding to stop, "Xiao Aiqing, calculate the approximate amount of money Jiangnan needs, and send it to me tomorrow."

Then he explained a few more words, and the emperor signaled the ministers to step down.

Zhou Shuren thought silently, it was another day to be the background board, and he found that after being promoted, there were fewer opportunities to open his mouth, but it was good, if he didn't open his mouth, he would not offend others.

It's a pity that he was not happy for a while, the emperor said: "Zhou Shuren, you stay first."

Master Xiao from Zhou Shuren's family looked at him, and he was also confused, not knowing why he was called.

Xiao Qing was also stunned, it was the first time he saw Zhou Shuren bewildered, with a smile in his eyes, "I'll go back to the household department first."

"yes."

Several Grand Scholars also looked over, and several Grand Scholars frowned, and then went out one after another.

Xiao Qing squinted his eyes and walked slowly with his hands behind his back. The Six Departments and the cabinet restrained each other. Among the several Grand Scholars, he hated Ding Grand Scholars the most.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials also walked slowly, and when he distanced himself from the few in front, he said in a low voice: "The emperor really values ​​Zhou Shuren, I think you will not be able to sit in the position of Minister for two years."

Xiao Qing, "At least there are successors in the household department, unlike the official department, which is a mess, I'm not talking about you, you still have the intention to provoke, why don't you take care of your official department."

The Ministry of Officials is in a mess, and the Ministry of Households is the place where the intrigue is the most intense among the six ministries.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials choked, snorted and walked quickly.

In the government hall, the emperor signaled Zhou Shuren to sit down, "Just now I saw you and I had an idea, but now I am the only one, tell me what you have in mind."

Zhou Shuren did have an idea, but he didn't say a word, because he was the servant of the household department, and Master Xiao was on top, so it was not suitable for him to speak, but when he thought that the people had no food to eat, he panicked, "I'm talking too much, what I said is wrong, please let me know." Your Majesty forgives you."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, really thoughtful, "You said, there are only you and my ministers here, and today's words will not be spread."

This is to protect Zhou Shuren, and he also knows that it is better for Zhou Shuren to keep a low profile.

Zhou Shuren thought it over and said: "The household department currently has a total of 2.78 million taels of silver in deposit."

There are a lot of expenditures recently, the silver rewards for the soldiers, and some expenditures for the ministries, otherwise, the silver will be more than three million taels.

The emperor knew clearly, "So?"

"I feel that there is no food in this dynasty, but the neighboring countries have it. I used to be the prefect of Jinzhou. The port of Ping is in Jinzhou. Some merchant ships come and go. I also know the goods bought and sold by neighboring countries. Some neighboring countries have enough food. So I wonder if I can go abroad to buy grain."

He is the magistrate of Jinzhou, but he knows everything. Foreign merchant ships bring grain to sell, and if he buys it himself, the price must be lower. He can also train the navy, killing two birds with one stone.

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren, this man knew the whole Jinzhou by heart, he had seen many magistrates, there really was no one like Zhou Shuren, the emperor stroked his beard, Zhou Shuren was a great talent.

Zhou Shuren lowered his head and said silently in his heart, don't look at him anymore, if he is not for the people, I really don't want to say more, I just hope that he can be let off smoothly when he retires in the future!
