Chapter 91 The Imperial Gate

The imperial capital, Fengtian Palace, and the imperial gate are in charge of politics.

The atmosphere in Fengtian Hall seemed a bit depressed, and the military officials looked at each other and dared not make a sound.

They all know what's going on now, because of the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, the court is still very noisy.

There is no money in the national treasury, but various departments have to spend again. No matter who's money is shortened, no one is happy.

But even under such circumstances, it cannot be said that they will not go to disaster relief, and the money will always be taken out.

Jiang Anxiao looked at the minister below, his expression was a little ugly.

About the disaster relief, how many days have passed!

Look at these ministers, none of them have come up with a charter until now, and they are still arguing about the cost of money.

What Liu Qing said before was to provide disaster relief as soon as possible, and there is still no movement now!

Jiang Anxiao originally thought that if the disaster relief could be done as soon as possible, the losses could still be reduced a lot.

But looking at it now, it seems that even these ministers can't count on it.

"Isn't there a charter for Zhu Qing on how to relieve the flood in the south of the Yangtze River?"

With a cold face, Jiang Huang glanced at the military officials below.

When all the officials heard the words, they all bowed their heads and remained silent. Everyone could tell that the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, and they didn't have a charter at the moment.

I'm afraid that after he comes out, he will inevitably be criticized for a while.

Moreover, everyone doesn't want their share to be cut when the gun hits the top bird, so it's better to be obedient and not speak at the moment.

Seeing that these ministers did not speak, Jiang Huang felt even more angry.

Just drag it on like this, and wait until the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are flooded, and all kinds of reports are submitted, are these people happy?

The more he thought about it, the colder Jiang Huang's face became.

"Shangshu of the Household Department, come out and tell me how to relieve the disaster!"

The matter was kicked around, and finally it was on the head of the Minister of the Household Department. Anyway, he was in charge of this matter originally.

Hubu Shangshu's face was slightly bitter when he heard this.

Although this matter originally belonged to him, but now the treasury has no money, he is also very embarrassed.

It's just that since this matter has come to him, it is absolutely impossible for him to postpone it.

"Returning to Your Majesty, since we need disaster relief, we must do it as soon as possible. However, the treasury is empty right now, and we really can't afford any money. Didn't we just have a batch of food and silver taels from the imperial capital, which can be used for disaster relief?"

As soon as Hubu Shangshu's words fell, the general beside him became anxious when he heard the words.

"How can this be done! This is the food sent to the frontier, and it cannot be moved no matter what!"

A burly general stood out of the line and shouted angrily.

"Then take back the silver that was allocated to make armor and weapons just now, and use it for disaster relief. Since the frontier soldiers have food and silver, it is not impossible to delay the replacement of weapons for a while."

A minister heard the words and said immediately.

Hearing this, the burly general's face darkened with anger, and he didn't seem to have slapped the opponent directly with his big palm.

"Blades and armor are related to the lives of soldiers on the frontier and the weapons to protect the security of the border. How can this silver be used!"

"It's not that I won't give it, it's just a delay. Why is the general so angry?"

Hearing this, the minister continued with a sneer, "What's more, the Tartars have not offended our border for a long time, they just came to beat the autumn wind, so why is there such a hurry to replace the armor?"

Hearing this, the generals yelled angrily, pointing at the minister and wishing he could do it directly.

Is this what people say!

The border is related to the safety of the Jiang country, how can it be taken lightly!This is to feel that what happened in Jiangan that year has gone far away!

"It's about the border. How can you be so hasty? I heard that the Ministry of Industry allocated a lot of money. Why didn't the money from the Ministry of Industry be taken back? The Ministry of Industry repairs this and that every year, but it is happy to take this money. Very, why didn’t this patch stop before!”

Seeing that these people were trying to turn their minds on him, the military commander immediately turned his attention in another direction.

"What do you mean? Our Ministry of Industry calculates the annual expenditure clearly. How can there be greed? Doesn't the palace mausoleum need money for repairs for a long time? Did the backyard of the palace collapsed in the heavy rain last year and many houses should not be built?

There are also you generals who practice and practice in the mansion, smash this one and then another, come to my Ministry of Industry every day to repair that and this, don't you need money?

This time Governor Lin went to deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, who gave the money allocated?Didn't they dial some from our Ministry of Industry, and now they call our Ministry of Industry, why don't we just ban our Ministry of Industry? "

Hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry became impatient.

Where is it so easy for their Ministry of Industry?

All kinds of houses in the palace, or the mansions of the emperor's relatives, are all arranged by their Ministry of Industry, and they all cost money!

What kind of materials are used in the palace? They are all wood that will last for hundreds of years, and they can't be used right away. They still need to go through countless procedures to process them.

Apart from these things, water conservancy roads are also under their management.

As far as the money allocated to Jiangnan's water control is allocated every year, I don't know how much it has been allocated. Now, how can their Ministry of Industry receive it.

"So what? Anyway, sooner or later you practice it, so what if it's a few days late?"

Hearing the words, the burly general responded indifferently.

He doesn't care about these, anyway, he can't touch his armor silver taels!

As for the rest, he doesn't care!

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately blew his beard and stared angrily, "The imperial palace is related to the emperor's face, how can we postpone the repair!"

After hearing this, everyone on the side stopped talking, what should I say now?

It is related to the emperor's face, if they say something, don't care, isn't this disrespecting the emperor and disrespecting the imperial power?

For a while, the hall fell silent again, and Jiang Huang glanced down, with an indescribably gloomy expression on his face.

A group of ministers talked about it, and no one could come up with a charter, and it was extremely difficult to come up with a little money.

He wanted to reprimand these people, but he couldn't open his mouth. After all, these people did not embezzle the money for themselves.

Just thinking of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River and the displacement of countless people, Jiang Anxiao felt extremely heartbroken.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Anxiao said, "Let's take the money from the Ministry of Industry for disaster relief, and postpone the repair of the palace for a while."

"Your Majesty, how can this be postponed? It's about Tianwei!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter must never happen. Although many people in the south of the Yangtze River have been sent to report that there is a flood, there is still no news about the Yunmeng City. Maybe there is no flood?"

The ministers were also in a hurry, and hurriedly tried to persuade him, hoping that Emperor Jiang would take back his order.

Chapter 92 Safe and sound

"It's a joke, the water in the other cities has overflowed to one foot! You still say that Yunmeng City is fine!!!"

When Jiang Anxiao heard this, his whole body trembled with anger.

Listen to what these ministers are saying!

The water in the surrounding city was so full that they didn't know how far it was, and when it came to their mouths, they still said maybe it's okay?

Can this be okay!

When the ministers heard the words, they looked at each other and fell silent.

To be honest, they really didn't want to allocate funds before Yunmeng City came to ask for disaster relief.

After all, isn't this the news that hasn't been heard yet?Waiting for the news to confirm that this is the case, wouldn't it be good to carry out disaster relief?

Jiang Huang became angry, and the ministers dared not speak anymore.

Jiang Anxiao snorted coldly, seeing this scene, she was not ready to speak anymore, and got up to leave with a flick of her sleeves.

But at this moment, a guard hurried in through the door, "Report, Jiangnan Governor Lin Gu is asking to see you!"

"Lin Gu?"

Hearing the name, all the ministers were stunned for a moment and then rioted, even Jiang Anxiao who had already got up was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed.

Lin Gu is returning to the court at this moment, could it be that Yunmeng City has reached an extremely dangerous situation?

Otherwise, how could the other party come back so easily as a governor?

At this moment, not only Jiang Huang was thinking so in his heart, but also the ministers below were panicked.

"Governor Lin is coming back now. I'm afraid the situation in Yunmeng City is already extremely bad? So you are afraid that we will not be able to provide disaster relief in time, so you ran back to urge him personally?"

"It's possible. Otherwise, as a governor, he will personally manage the flood. How can he leave now that there is a flood?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other solemnly.

Just now I was talking with Jiang Huang, whether it is possible to postpone the disaster relief for some time, if it is confirmed that there is a flood at this moment, wouldn't this be a slap in the face for myself.

I'm afraid there will be a harsh reprimand.

Jiang Anxiao also heard the discussions of the ministers, and his face became more and more gloomy at this moment.

After glaring at these ministers fiercely, he waved his hands and said, "Quick, please come in Lin Aiqing!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the guard turned around and went out quickly. After a while, Lin Gu walked in. Although his face was a little tired, it was still difficult to hide the red light in his expression.

Jiang Huang was impatient in his heart, so he couldn't care less to take a closer look, and hurriedly asked, "Lin Aiqing, did Yunmeng City suffer from floods? How are the people in the city now, and how much did they lose? Did any people die?"

"Returning to the emperor, Yunmeng City has been raining heavily for more than ten days, but the surrounding area of ​​Yunmeng City has not encountered any floods."

Lin Gu felt joy in his heart, and although he was tired at the moment, he still replied loudly.

Jiang Huang was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about it carefully, he found it inconceivable, did he hear correctly?

"Ai Qing said that Yunmeng City was not flooded? Did I hear you right?"

"How can the emperor hear it wrong? There is indeed no flood in Yunmeng City, and everything is in good order. The previous method to deal with the flood has worked!"

Lin Gu couldn't hide his joy, and said loudly.

After the words fell, the ministers who were still whispering at the side suddenly fell silent, and looked at Lin Gu in disbelief.

"Nonsense! There has been heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten days, and the water in Anyou City, which is close to Yunmeng City, has risen to a height of one foot. The Yunjiang River in Yunmeng City is already summer, and the water volume has increased. How can you control it? Well, this is Yunjiangshui!"

"Governor Lin knows how big a crime it is to lie! Once the people of Yunmeng City delay the treatment time, I'm afraid you, Lin Gu, will lose his head!"

All the ministers stared at Lin Gu without any trust.

How many people have been sent to manage Yunjiang?Where is governance successful?

How long has it been since Lin Gu passed away? Can the dams built be able to hold back so much water?

What's more, it has been raining for so long this year, no dam can stop it!

Hearing this, Jiang Huang's eyes also flashed suspiciousness. Judging from the information, it is really impossible. How can it be possible to build such a high and strong dam in such a short time.

Could it be that Lin Gu was really lying?

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Lin Gu looked at these colleagues with a flash of contempt in his eyes.

This is real contempt. Although he still doesn't quite understand what Lu Chensheng said before, after understanding a little bit, he is looking at these people.

Lin Gu really felt that these colleagues were like country bumpkins.

"Your Majesty, you have been an official in the court for decades, so don't you trust what you say now?"

Lin Gu ignored his colleagues beside him, but asked Jiang Huang respectfully.

Jiang Huang was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

That's right, Lin Gu has been an official in the court for decades, and he knows all about his character and talent. Now it is impossible to say that he came back from all the way just to make a false report!

Nowadays, there are too few capable ministers in the court, and Lin Gu is one of the few people he can trust.

Thinking of this, Jiang Huang hurriedly helped, "Aiqing was joking, why can't I trust you? It's just that the water in the Yunjiang River is different from the past, but I don't know how Aiqing manages it, how can I calm down this flood in a short period of time? "

Knowing in his heart that Lin Gu should not be deceiving, Jiang Huang became more and more curious.

In the past few months, how did the other party manage to calm down the flood in the Yunjiang River?

Such a heavy rainstorm is safe and sound, and the flood in the Yunjiang River can be regarded as completely eliminated.
