The eldest son of the red mansion

After Jia Ke finished writing, she immediately counted her name on the back.Then he said to the other ministers of military affairs: "Sirs, I just read the memorial in Shaanxi. It has not rained in March in Shaanxi. It seems that this year's farmers will not be able to harvest. Therefore, we have to prepare for the autumn harvest. Disaster relief. Otherwise, the millions of disaster victims will go into chaos, and the world will be in turmoil."

Old Hanlin Mengming was a warm-hearted man. Hearing what Jia Ke said, he immediately stood up from his seat, came to Jia Ke's side, and took the memorials from Jia Ke's desk to watch.

It looked like what Jia Ke said, although the old Hanlin Mengming didn't know much about crop work, he also knew that it didn't rain during the spring planting season.It seems that Shaanxi is doomed to a catastrophe this year.

After reading a few memorials, old Hanlin Meng Ming picked up the official document written by Jia Ke and read it carefully.Without saying a word, he took Jia Ke's pen and added his name on the back.

Then he took this official document and walked towards several other military ministers.

"Let's take a look, everyone. After reading it, sign your name at the back. Let's prepare it now, it's better than Ma Claw at that time." Old Hanlin Mengming said while handing the official document to Liu Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Because Meng Ming knew that Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the emperor's confidant and also the emperor's representative in the military aircraft department. As long as it was signed by him, the other two ministers would definitely sign with him.

As a result, Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, read the document carefully, and felt a little hard to make a decision.Although he knew that it was a surefire strategy for Jia Ke to raise food and grass now, but this year, because the imperial court lost 300 million taels of silver, the use of silver everywhere was very tight.

Although most of the 300 million silver was digested by the Governor of Hedao, Xuanfu Town, and Liaodong Town, everything is not all right.

The emperor still cut down some silver as much as possible from various places, and pooled more than 150 million taels for emergencies.But this money must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said helplessly: "Master Jia, even if you have issued the documents, the Ministry of Households probably won't have money to buy you grain. You know the situation this year, where did you get the extra money?"

Jia Ke thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. Although the court only lost 300 million taels of silver, it would affect the whole body.Therefore, various expenses of the imperial court have been greatly reduced this year.

Jia Ke thought about it carefully, then came back to his senses and said to Liu Yu: "No matter what, we must raise money to buy grain from Jiangnan. If something goes wrong, this grain will save lives. If we can tide over the difficulties, these grains will It can also be sold and returned to the Ministry of Finance.”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Zuo Governor Shi Tianye nodded and said, "Master Jia's words are good, after all, he is prepared for any danger. In the event of a drought, if the money cannot be raised, then the place will be in chaos."

After listening to the two of them, Liu Yu was a little embarrassed. What Jia Ke and Tian Ye said was right. The main thing at this time was the stability of the dynasty, but the current silver taels of the court are indeed somewhat insufficient.And the emperor talked with them several times this year, asking all departments to save money to prevent accidents.This makes him how to talk to the emperor.

Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, sat there and listened to them for a long time, and he already understood the cause and effect.He heard that Jia Ke wanted to raise food for disaster relief, and he still agreed with Jia Ke's method this time.

"Master Liu, I think what Master Jia said is right, we have to raise money no matter what."

Seeing Liu Yu's hesitation, Jia Ke was very annoyed. This Liu Yu had always been the emperor's pawn, and he often opposed him when he was at the military plane.This time, no matter what, he wanted to show the authority of the head minister of the military aircraft department.

"What else is Mr. Liu thinking about? If Mr. Liu is undecided, then I, the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department, will make the decision. Whether Mr. Liu signs it or not, I have the right to send a document to the Ministry of Households. If the Ministry of Households implements my It’s all right if the order is not carried out, if it is not carried out, I will want their heads.”

As soon as Liu Yu heard Jia Ke's words, he was startled.Why is Jia Ke so domineering now?Now he no longer has the courtesy of being a minister, and he doesn't say that he will take the head of the person directly by reporting to the emperor.Now Jia Ke is more and more like a powerful official with power over the court, and the emperor is more and more like a puppet supported on the throne.

Liu Yu felt that he had to speak out to mediate at this time, otherwise Jia Ke would really let Jia Ke do this, and the emperor's authority would suffer a huge blow.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Jia. I didn't say that I disagree. If Mr. Jia wants to send a document to the Ministry of Accounting, he can just sign it. I'm just worried that the Ministry of Accounting will not be able to raise so much money."

Jia Ke thought about it for a while, and he knew the virtues of those people in the household department, that is, under normal circumstances, the finances are sufficient, and the silver allocated by them has a batch of 8 achievements, which is not bad.Now it's really embarrassing for them to conjure 80 taels of silver out of nothing.

So, like all the military planes present here, he asked: "How much grain is there in the grain storage roads in various places? These grains should be transported to Shaanxi for emergencies."

Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, thought that this was a good way to transport the grain stored in various places for many years to Shaanxi in case of a rainy day. Shaanxi really has no crops this year. create unstable factors.

As soon as Liu Yu wanted to agree, Tianye, the censor of Zuodu who was next to him, shattered Jia Ke's illusions, "Master Jia, if you are counting on grain from the grain store, Mr. Liu, I think it is more realistic to prepare money first."

Liu Yu immediately stood up in shock and said, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the grain storage road?"

If this is the case, then it is really a shocking case.Especially when food is needed now, if there is no food shipped to Shaanxi by then, the victims of the disaster will rise up.

Zuodu Censor Tianye knocked on the table with his hands, and said with a gloomy face: "Although I don't know the specific situation, the censor under him has already noticed that something is wrong with the grain storage road, but there is no solid evidence to report to the current emperor. Just play."

After hearing what he said, Liu Yu immediately sat down on the chair, not knowing what to do?He was now beginning to feel fortunate that Jia Ke had paid attention to these memorials just now, which gave the court some room for buffering, otherwise in August and September, droughts would suddenly be reported from all over the country and the grain would not be harvested.At that time, the court will have neither money nor food, and there will be a big mess.

Jia Ke is also a little bit at a loss now, he never thought that it has only been less than a hundred years since the founding of the country, and the government of the world can be corrupted to such an extent.If it is true what Tian Ye said, then this year will be the year when the conflicts in the court will explode.

And the source of all this is because of the lack of the 300 million taels of silver.Jia Ke thought that the emperor might not have thought that his move would be the gravedigger of his own dynasty.

So the five ministers of the Military Aircraft Department were silent in the Military Aircraft Department at this time, and they each had their own thoughts.Except for Jia Ke, the others were a little frightened by the current situation.

They have seen in the history books that once a famine occurs in a local area, the imperial court does not rescue them in time.Those disaster victims will definitely rise up, and in the end the court will have to spend a lot of effort to clean up the mess.Even in many cases, a prosperous dynasty will be overthrown.

Now that Jia Ke has taken the initiative, she only wants to get through the transition of the dynasty smoothly, and she doesn't want local turmoil.Therefore, Jia Ke must come up with a way to solve the current predicament.

Jia Ke stood up from her seat and walked back and forth in the room of the Military Aircraft Department.Consider how the various dynasties on Earth resolved these dilemmas.

But Jia Ke is really not a genius, and has he ever gone to college?Where can I know the rules and regulations of each dynasty?All he knew was what he had learned online.And most of the information on the Internet is vague, even if there are detailed methods, it is impossible for him to remember all of them.

Jia Ke thought about it, but only one person came to mind, and that was Emperor Yongzheng.When Emperor Yongzheng first came to the throne, the treasury was already empty enough to run.

But when he died, he left countless wealth to Emperor Qianlong.And the most famous title of this Emperor Yongzheng is-the emperor who copied the family.

As soon as Jia Ke thought of ransacking the house, he found a solution. Aren't these grain storage people buying and selling the grain in the grain depot?I think these people's families are very rich.As long as all the homes of these people are confiscated, it is only a drop in the bucket to raise enough money for disaster relief.

After Jia Ke thought of a way, she immediately felt relieved.Then he once again restored the majesty of the head minister of the military aircraft department.He sat down slowly in his center seat again.

The other ministers of military affairs were also fine people. Looking at Jakete's attitude, he knew that he already had a solution.

Tian Ye couldn't wait to ask: "I see that Mr. Jia has a plan in mind now, isn't it possible that he has a plan?"

"How can I be so lucky, but I just thought of an emergency solution, and it can only help us temporarily overcome this year's difficulties." Jia Ke picked up the tea by the table and began to drink tea slowly.

When Liu Yu heard that Jia Ke had a solution, he immediately stood up, came to Jia Ke's side and cupped his hands, and said, "Master Jia, please enlighten me as soon as possible."

Jia Ke lightly put down the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "The solution should still be on the grain storage road. This time, no matter what, let the grain storage road take out the grain."

Tian Ye was very disappointed when he heard this, "Master Jia, didn't you say that just now? I'm afraid this grain storage road won't be able to produce much grain."

"They can't provide food, but their families have money, so we will use the military plane to send an official document to the grain storage road, and then they will return the food. If they can't provide food, we will raid their homes. Use their furniture to buy food for disaster relief." Jia Ke had a smile on his face, but there was a cold look in his eyes.

After hearing Jia Ke's idea, several ministers from the Military Aircraft Department shuddered.If Jia Ke did it this way, I'm afraid that many people would be killed.

Chapter 375

Although Zuodu Censor Tianye was shocked by Jia Ke's cruelty, he thought that these people were simply rats in the imperial granary, eating up all the grain and grass stored by the imperial court.It's almost time for them to do something for the imperial court.

So Tian Ye immediately stood up and said to Jia Ke: "I am optimistic about Mr. Jia's method. This time, no matter what, let the grain storage road be transported to the capital for us."

The old Hanlin Mengming also stood up and said: "I also support this method. The people in the grain storage and Taoism these years have gone too far. They almost regard the grain in the imperial granary as their own. This time it is time to give them a lesson."

Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, has no objection to this. If the grain storage roads cannot deliver grain and grass on time, once a civil uprising occurs in Shaanxi and the army is mobilized to suppress it, it will not be possible to do it with this little grain, grass and money.

Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, finally stated, "I agree with this matter in principle, but after all, it is related to the lives of many people. Let's report to the emperor first and let His Majesty make the final decision."

Jia Ke didn't have any opinion on this time. If the emperor could stand up and take the blame once, wouldn't it be better for him?No matter how the emperor handles this time, Jia Ke will not be harmful to him.

If the emperor agreed to this method, he would probably lose the reputation of a confiscated emperor just like Emperor Yongzheng back then.If the emperor disagreed with this method, he would either have to withdraw money from the internal treasury, or he could only ignore the matter, which in the end made the situation worse and worse, and finally could not be dealt with.

No matter which of these two situations is, it will be a huge blow to the emperor's reputation.

After Jia Ke thought of this, she immediately took out a blank document, brushed it up, and wrote a new memorial.

The general idea is that they are afraid of a drought in Shaanxi and a civil uprising, so they mobilize grain and grass from various grain storage roads to the capital, and are ready for disaster relief at any time in case of accidents.
