The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Wang Xijue was only 25 years old, and he became the commissioner of the city's shipbuilding department, and he became very popular and became very popular.

Deputy lifter, Shen Lian.

For a moment, Yan Song's power in the court made everyone kneel down.

There is even a saying "It is better to be a dog in a strict mansion than to be a prince of a remote hundred households".

It is said that if you want to become an official and make a fortune, you must mix with Yan Song's sect. Being a dog is more promising than being a county magistrate in a remote place.

When Yan Song met Wang Jiaping, he was braving the wind and snow. He brought hundreds of masters, tipsters, police officers, and yamen servants to help the 0.8 people in the capital whose roofs were collapsed by the heavy snow to rebuild their houses and accommodate refugees.

Yan Song walked behind Wang Jiaping, patted and said, "Not bad, you worked hard."

Fortunately, he has already discovered the North American continent, so he is not too desperate.

Wang Jiaping was taken aback, turned around and saw that it was Yan Song, and said bitterly, "Mr. Yan Ge, I was going to find you. It's very kind of you to come."

The future Chief Assistant of Ming Dynasty had a bitter expression on his face.

Yan Song wondered: "What's wrong?"

"I, the Governor of Shuntian, just a few days after I took office, I encountered this once-in-a-century natural disaster, and I am about to be impeached and stepped down." Wang Jiaping almost knelt down and hugged Yan Song's thigh, and said with a bitter face: "Old Yan Ge You can't just ignore death."

Yan Song understood it, and chuckled: "Is Yushi following you?"

Chapter 1769 The Opportunity Brought by the Little Ice River [8]

The position of Governor of Shuntian Prefecture is right to say that it is not easy to do, and there is nothing wrong with saying that it is easy to do.

Good job, fast promotion, promotion in two years.

But if something goes wrong, you will be unable to turn over for the rest of your life.

This Wang Jiaping's luck is good or bad.Luckily, he followed the right person, followed Yan Song, and in just a few years, he climbed from a Hanlin to the high position of the third rank of Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, which can be said to be proud of his youth.

But as soon as he took office, he encountered a snowstorm that had never happened in a century.

Maybe, for example, too many people died of freezing and starvation, and Wang Jiaping, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, would be in great trouble, and a wave of "ineffective disaster relief" by the censors would be enough to knock him to the ground.

Yan Song looked at Wang Jiaping who was about to cry, and said calmly: "No rush, take your time."

Following Wang Jiaping, he walked all the way south from Andingmen and Dongzhimen to Deshengmen and You'anmen.

Along the way, Yan Song frowned more and more.

Sure enough, the disaster was worse than imagined.

Beijing City, after a month of abnormal snowfall, has accumulated a lot of snow, and many houses have been crushed and collapsed.

In such a bitter cold weather, if there is no place to live, it is easy to freeze to death.

But the problem of accommodation is still easy to solve.

Wang Jiaping tried his best to persuade the rich households around, as well as academies and monasteries, to open up to the affected people to live temporarily, so that they would not freeze to death.

More urgent than this is the problem of food.

The Tonghui River has been frozen, and it is three feet frozen, and the grain transport ships from Tianjin by water and sea are impassable.

And the surrounding land transportation channels are also greatly affected.

In particular, food prices have skyrocketed.

Yan Song walked to a grain store in Nancheng, and saw a long queue at the gate of the grain store.

But the grain price above has already marked a tael of silver, a stone of rice!

Yan Song frowned.

The price of rice in Daming has always been very cheap.

Suhu is familiar, and the world is full.With the development of agriculture in the south of the Ming Dynasty, the grain output of the Ming Dynasty continued to increase. At the cheapest time, the price of grain in the grain-producing areas was one tael to eighty-nine shimi.

Even in the north, one tael of silver can buy four stones of rice.

Today, the price of grain has risen to one tael of silver and one stone of rice?

This price is outrageous, right?

This has caught up with the most food-deficient Northwest Frontline. Hey.

He watched calmly, but Wang Jiaping's face turned red.

As the commissioner of the Municipal Shipbuilding Department, he is very economically minded.

He also knew that the food price was too expensive.

Wang Jiaping's expression became increasingly ugly.

Yan Song walked into the long queue and chatted with a commoner.

"Master, do you think the food price is expensive?"

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head: "It's not expensive! It's not expensive at all."

The old man sneered and said, "Nancheng was severely affected by the disaster. This grain store is very conscientious for willing to pay one tael a stone of rice. The price of grain next to it has risen to one tael or three dollars a stone rice!"
