The reborn bastard is respected

Mo Ran thought that the disaster relief team sent by the emperor would arrive in two days, but unexpectedly arrived the next morning.Mo Ran woke up the next day, and rushed to the post house with the county magistrate.

"The next official sees the imperial envoy."

"Teacher, father." Mo Ran saluted, and as expected, it was Duan Lei, Li Xiu, and Zhang Jing who came.

Li Xiu took a few steps forward, grabbed his son a little excitedly, looked him up and down, and said sternly: "You are so courageous, do you know that you have frightened the whole family by leaving?" ?” The entire An Guogong Mansion was really worried, and the anti-disaster team arrived so quickly, they were also worried about the child’s safety.

"It's my boy's fault. My father and mother are worried about my son's playfulness." Li Moran obediently admitted his mistake.

"Is it just your parents who are worried?" Duan Lei raised his airs, "Come here and let the old man take a look." Li Xiu was right, this kid is too courageous.Even he, who is over half a hundred years old and has experienced three dynasties, can't help worrying about this child's behavior.In addition to being worried, I was surprised and shocked.

I have already seen the thatched huts outside the city, and I went to inquire about it. I thought the city would be in chaos, but when I entered the city in the morning, I found that the city was safe.

After careful questioning, I found out that the emperor sent people to relieve the disaster.

Their team arrived early in the morning, so who was the person sent to relieve the disaster before?At this moment, seeing only the magistrate and Li Moran, even if they didn't want to believe that it was a five-year-old child's work, they still couldn't help but doubt it.

Li Moran would write such a letter. His courage and wisdom may not even be comparable to a grown man.

Li Xiu was both proud and regretful.

Duan Lei is worried about gains and losses, and is even more proud that this person is his student.

"Students make the teacher worry, and they are even more unfilial." Li Moran approached Duan Lei's arms, half coquettishly said.Although Duan Lei has a high position, he has only one grandson under his knees, but Duan Li is wild and not the master who can act like a baby. Li Moran is well-behaved, and the occasional rebellion also satisfies his little thoughts of being a grandfather.

"You... You did the grass shed, medicine, porridge and other things outside?" Duan Lei asked, holding Li Moran's hand.

"No, it was done by the imperial envoy sent by the emperor." Li Moran smiled slightly.

After reminiscing about the past, several people began to discuss disaster relief.

Li Moran already had a plan for disaster relief last night. He took out his painting: "Teacher, father, Mr. Zhang, Moran's idea is this. The flood is so severe and the water flows continuously. If we want to stop the water flow, I'm afraid It is difficult, and in this case, we can break it down into smaller ones. Look at my picture, over here..." Li Moran pointed to the dots on the picture, "Wait to dig a well to divert water, then the water flow of the flood will become smaller, What do the three of you think about building the dam after the water flow becomes smaller?"

"Is Moran drawing a picture of the flood scene?" Duan Lei asked.

Li Moran dared to express himself in front of the three of them, and also had the idea of ​​bringing them together.An Guogong, Hubu, and the future right minister, if the three stand on the prince's side in the future, the court after the prince succeeds to the throne will be more stable.

"Yes."

Zhang Jing and Li Moran had no direct contact.Although I have heard about this child for a long time, but listening to his words today, I have a lot of feelings.A mere five-year-old child has the ability to control floods, and he is a student of Duan Lei after the general family. Of course, there is no need to think about the future of this child.The Li family and the Zhang family were related again, Zhang Jing thought of this, and he also had a plan in mind.

Two months later, in the capital, Chongzheng Hall.

"Yesterday, I received a letter from Tuan Tuan. The flood in Yinzhou has been resolved, and the new dam will be built soon. It will be two months, two full months." Emperor Wen Xiao was in a good mood, "The Ministry of Rites can start the matter of spring hunting. , Taifu wrote a letter, and will return in a few days."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

In the past two months, the court has been very depressed. The frontiers of Dazhao Kingdom have been stable in recent years, and the collapse of the Yinzhou dam is the top priority this year.Moreover, after the dam burst, the flood flooded three villages, causing a large number of deaths, and Emperor Wen Xiao could not sleep or eat.

"Master Zuo, I still can't figure out why the dam matter is handed over to Grand Tuan Tuan?" The Tuan Tuan didn't enter the court, so it's unreasonable to entrust him with responsibility, Lu Hua couldn't figure it out.

"The Right Prime Minister is getting old, and there must be someone to take his place. Looking at the court, who else has such qualifications? After the dam, it is justified for Duan Taifu to take over as the Right Prime Minister." Yu Wenting understood it.

"What about Zhang Jing and Li Xiu?" Xie Junhao asked, "Although Li Xiu has the title of Lord An and also works in the Ministry of War, he has no actual official position. He thought that the emperor suppressed the Li family. So why did he send him this time?" He went to disaster relief?"

"The truth is that I sent someone to inquire about it. It was Li Xiu's son, Li Moran, who first arrived in Yinzhou, not Grand Tuan Duan. The day before the disaster relief team arrived, Li Xiu's son began to apply medicine in the county town. Congee, a mere five-year-old child... I think there must be a reason for this. Moreover, the Yinzhou flood was not reported by the officials below. The day before the relief team set off, Li Xiu, Zhang Jing, Duan Taifu, and the three They entered the palace together, and afterward the emperor issued an order to relieve the disaster." Yu Wenting knew that there was a connection, but he couldn't find it.

"Zhang Jing is the Secretary of the Household Department, and Li Xiu's father-in-law, if the Li family and Taifu Duan both stand on the side of the prince..." Lu Hua stopped.

"I'm afraid they won't succeed?" Yu Wenting disagreed. "The emperor is suspicious. The bigger their momentum, the less pleasing they are. Let's wait and see."

In mid-March, the disaster relief team finally returned to Beijing.

Duan Lei, Li Xiu, and Zhang Jing advanced to the palace face saint, and Li Moran went straight back to Anguo Gong's mansion.

"Master is back...Master is back..."

Yang and her three daughters had been waiting at the door for a long time, watching the arrival of the carriage, and watching Li Moran get off from the carriage.It's only been two months since we last saw each other. Looking left and right, Yang felt that Mo Ran had grown taller.

"The child is unfilial, and the mother is worried."

"Worried... How can you not be worried, you child..." Yang Shi said, rubbing Li Moran tightly, her voice choked with concern that could not be faked.

"It's the child who is not filial. The child brought a lot of Yinzhou specialties back to honor his mother, and please ask the mother not to be angry with the child."

"Brother, did you bring something for sister?" the elder sister asked.

"And us." The second sister and the third sister also rubbed Li Moran and asked.

"All."

The palace, the imperial study.

"Chen Duanlei (Li Xiu) (Zhang Jing), I greet the emperor." After rushing back from the journey, the three of them felt really relieved to see the emperor.

"Come on, give me your seat, the teacher mentioned in the letter about the Yinzhou dam that you will go back to Beijing for an interview, but do you have other questions?"

"Returning to the emperor, the rice shop in Yinzhou flooded this time took the opportunity to control the price of rice, forcing us to go far away and travel a few days to other states to buy rice. The new dam was all proposed by Mo Ran, and the people affected by the flood were exchanged for labor M. When we arrived in Yinzhou that day, Mo Ran, who arrived earlier than us, had already settled the refugees. He gave medicine and porridge in the honor of the emperor, but he was afraid that the emperor would blame him for passing the imperial decree, so he dared not enter the palace to face the holy .” Duan Lei reported the truth.

"Hahaha..." Emperor Wen Xiao laughed loudly, "Xiao Moran is so courageous, but now I am less courageous?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Li Xiu quickly knelt down.

"Li Aiqing, get up, your son is born well, I like it, you are brave enough to have a future, and the next generation we call depends on them." Emperor Wen Xiao didn't think so. "According to Taifu's intention, what should I reward Mo Ran?"

"Your Majesty, it won't be too late to reward you after your Majesty has seen the minister's paintings and excerpts."

"Oh? Tell me quickly, I can't wait."

"First of all, Your Majesty, please take a look at the painting. It is the picture after the flood at that time. It shows the distribution measures for disaster relief. There is also an excerpt here, which is about the price of rice."

Emperor Wen Xiao opened the flood map mentioned by Duan Lei. Yes, it contained a clear picture of the distribution of disaster relief. Then he opened Duan Lei's booklet. The price has indeed caused more difficulties for the victims, and also caused losses for the court. If granaries were set up in every state, among the rice taxed by the common people, a layer of rice would be kept in the granary every year to prepare for emergencies. It is indeed appropriate. In the coming year, the old rice will be sent to the border as military rations, and the newly collected tax rice will be stored again, and the old rice will not be afraid of mold. Good plan, really good plan. Taifu... Teacher, I am so excited." If the country can Grasp a certain granary, and the military rations at the border will not be a problem in the future.

In times of war, silver is worthless, and only food can save lives.

"It's just this painting and the plan of the granary. What does it have to do with Mo Ran?" After Emperor Wen Xiao calmed down, recalling Duan Lei's words, he was a little curious.

"The distribution map of disaster relief was drawn by Moran. Regarding the plan of the granary, Moran complained to Weichen that day that those traders who raised the price of rice and used the flood to make money had no business way, saying that it would be great if the country could have its own rice shop This minister came up with this plan." In fact, the plan for the granary was proposed by Li Moran, and it took the master and apprentice two months to revise it before drawing up the plan.Li Moran's credit is better than Duan Lei's.

But Duan Lei didn't take the credit for stealing the students, Li Moran was only five years old, and if he was too sharp, he would cause trouble, so Duan Lei only mentioned him a little bit, which was discussed between the master and the apprentice.
