After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Because Jia Min discovered it in time, fished it out early, and invited the doctor in time, Jia Hu was just frightened and drank a few sips of water, but his life was not in danger, he just needed to take care of it for a while.

On the contrary, Mrs. Song, lying on the couch, didn't know clearly, and couldn't help thinking wildly, his heart was up and down, and the bottom was cracked again.

Fortunately, Mother Liu has experience and handled it for her in time.

Although the Song family will not be able to conceive again in the future, her life is safe after all.

Besides, she already has two sons now, and in a few years, the eldest son Jia Hu will also be able to negotiate a marriage, and it won't be a bad thing for her if she can no longer conceive.

After the Song family also stabilized, Lin Ruhai's family and Mrs. Song left one after another.

Even though Mrs. Song is 1 worried about her daughter, she is married after all and belongs to the Jia family. If she dictates too much, it will only make it more difficult for her daughter to do well in the future.

Today, Mrs. Song regretted it again. When her daughter was not out of the cabinet, she was raised too delicately.

But no matter how much you regret it now, it won't help. You can only learn a lesson and be more careful when teaching your granddaughter.

Lin Ruhai and his wife didn't know exactly how to deal with Jia Hu's falling into the water. Jia Min only knew that several concubines in elder brother Jia She's yard were sold together with their family members.

As for the second sister-in-law Wang, she suddenly became a faithful believer of the Buddha. She recited Buddha's name for at least one hour a day, and the regular dishes on weekdays were much less meaty.

As for the truth behind it, Jia Min had some guesses in his heart.For her own mother, she inevitably felt chilled.

But she also knew that as long as the second brother was involved, the mother would stubbornly follow like a demon, and no one would persuade her.

Moreover, the more you persuade, the more counterproductive it will be.

Lin Ruhai knew his wife very well. Seeing that she was depressed these days, after thinking about it for a while, she understood what was going on.

But it was about his mother-in-law, so he didn't want to say much, so he just accepted a few more greetings from his classmates to keep her busy and think less about what she didn't have.

Just when the life of the Lin family was going smoothly and the court was getting more and more turbulent, the Yongding River burst again.

The courtiers immediately fell silent, and no one dared to touch the saint at this time.

To be honest, the saint was actually relieved.

If it wasn't for the sudden natural disaster, those people in the Renchao Hall would be more and more implicated, and he would have to use ruthless hands to clean them up.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the sage does not want to ruin his reputation as a benevolent monarch.

But if he is pushed into a hurry, he doesn't mind being a tyrant.

After all, if the country is not stable, what's the use of the Renjun's name?

The Wuding River is one of the major water systems in the north, flowing through several state capitals such as Tianjin, Hebei, Yanjun, and Shanxi.

Because of its long-term depth and the deposition of sediment on the bottom of the river, although the imperial court allocates funds to repair the embankment every year, the Wuding River is still as its name suggests, unstable and bursting from time to time.

This flood, like every previous one, involved a lot.

Not only a large area of ​​fertile land was washed away, but also many people suffered.What's more, it was the eve of the autumn harvest at this time, and the crops in the field would be fully mature in half a month, but they were destroyed at this time.

This also means that in the disaster-stricken provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, there is only old grain left over from previous years in the treasury, and this autumn's tax revenue has not been collected at all.

That is to say, if the imperial court wanted disaster relief, the bulk would have to be paid from the state treasury.

Not only that, after the flood receded and the relocated people returned to their former residences, the imperial court would distribute good seeds to them.

Otherwise, the people in these two provinces would definitely not be able to survive.

People from the prince's factions dare not argue with the court again at this juncture, but another dispute broke out over the candidates for disaster relief.

——With so many dynasties handed down, there is already a fixed and effective process for disaster relief.Generally speaking, as long as there are no major mistakes, it is ready-made credit to be able to suppress local officials and go out to provide disaster relief.

Regardless of whether it is the crown prince, the third prince or the ninth prince, they all have confidence in the people under them, and they also believe that with their own name, those local officials will not dare to go too far even if they don't kneel down.

But with the chaos of the previous period, how could the saints feel at ease to let the people under them go?

He was afraid that when the time came, he would send one of his sons' disciples, and the rest would secretly get in the way and ruin a good job.

At that time, if public anger is aroused, things will end even worse.

Therefore, this time the saint's attitude was unprecedentedly tough. He suppressed all kinds of voices in the court, and sent Guan Yuan, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, as the imperial envoy, He Miao, the minister of Shanxi Qing officials of the household department, and Lin Hai, the priest of the ancestral hall of the Ministry of rites, as the imperial envoy. His deputy led five hundred imperial troops to escort the disaster relief food to the disaster relief.

Before leaving, the sage specially gave Guan Yuan a gold medal, with a special license: to act cheaply.

This "easy thing to do" has great power.

If the local officials dared not cooperate, Guan Yuan could completely kill him first and act later.Of course, the premise is that he can control the next situation after beheading.

Lin Ruhai was really surprised that the saint could think of him and put him in the relief team.

But thinking about the recent turmoil in various ministries, he felt that he was in the hands of a few princes.

If Lin Ruhai was not mistaken, when they came back from disaster relief, the sage would start to take care of the unstable factors in various ministries.

At that time, he, the saint's direct descendant who has made great contributions to disaster relief, can be promoted logically and better stabilize the ritual department for the saint.

It is a good thing that the saint is willing to use him, and Lin Ruhai will naturally not refuse.

Starting from this disaster relief, he has to learn to do practical things diligently.

This can be regarded as a small pavement for his future official career, lest he really let it out when the time comes, but he is in a hurry and doesn't know how to manage one party.

"Okay, ma'am, you packed so much, I can't take them all!"

Seeing that Jia Min wanted to pack all the things he might need, Lin Ruhai couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly stopped him.

Jia Min disagreed: "The place you are going to is a disaster. Don't feel troublesome about these things. When you need them, you have nowhere to buy them."

"But, isn't this too exaggerated?" Lin Ruhai pointed to the incense burner, spittoon, Yaoqin, etc., "I'm here for disaster relief, not for fun. Besides, there are imperial envoys above me, if I bring I have more things than Shangguan, so what do people think of me?"

"Okay, even if you don't bring these, you have to bring the rest, right?"

Lin Ruhai looked at the luggage that could not fit in the two carriages, and shook his head repeatedly: "It's still too much."

Since Lin Ruhai said that it was his first time traveling abroad, the husband and wife had no experience, so naturally no one could convince the other.

In the end, it was Lin Ruhai's suggestion to visit the old mansion of his teacher, Wangge, and ask his teacher's mother, Mrs. Cui.

When Wang Ge was old and young, he was also a man of action, and his son was just like his father.Cui Shi is already familiar with preparing these things, so she must be right to ask her.

Jia Min also thought this proposal was very good, so he posted a greeting on the same day.

Cui has always loved Jia Min, so she quickly replied.When the two met, when Cui heard that Jia Min wanted to ask this question, she was not stingy at all, and imparted all her years of experience.

"Others are secondary, but ready-made pills and durable dry food are a must. If you have dried meat at home, bring it to him, and you can guarantee your strength on the road. By the way , do you have dried ginger at home? If you go to a place where there is a flood, drink more ginger water, but it will be of great help. As for clothes and so on, you don't need to prepare those flashy good materials, strong cocoon and Songjiang cloth are the best. It is the best choice. Try to choose dark colors as much as possible. Sometimes they are busy, and they may not be able to change clothes every two or three days..."

Cui Shizai gave a lot of instructions carefully, and Jia Min was afraid that he might forget to remember them, so he simply took a pen and paper to write them down.

Before leaving, Mrs. Cui also gave her some homemade dried meat, dried fruit and vegetables.

Jia Min didn't say much, but she kept all the feelings in her heart. From then on, Jia Min prepared gifts with more care for the old couple's three festivals and two birthdays.

On weekdays, the fruits, game and so on sent by Zhuangzi can never forget a portion of Wangge's hometown.

Slowly, the two families actually got closer and closer, almost becoming serious relatives.

After Lin Ruhai tidied up here, it took another four or five days before the official document issued by the Ministry of Officials was issued.

As for this, the sage is still pressing hard, and the issuance will be issued soon.Otherwise, there will be a delay of half a month.

Jia Min didn't know much about the operation of the imperial court, so he was anxious at home: "Didn't you say that there was a disaster? It's been delayed for a while. What if civil unrest breaks out when you arrive?"

When she was a child, she often heard her father Jia Daishan say that if there is a catastrophe, there will be someone with a heart to confuse the people and make chaos everywhere for personal gain.

Regarding this, Lin Ruhai could only sigh: "Since ancient times, the court has handled things like this. It will be many days before the things decided at the court meeting are actually implemented. That is to say, it will be better when the country was first established. In the future, it will take longer."

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say anything else.

——Because today's sages seek the name of a benevolent king wholeheartedly, they treat many things lightly, which makes the officials below feel more confident.

This is the second generation of the founding of the country, and the efficiency of the court is like a lame old man, and he can't run fast even if he is urged.For this reason, I don't know how many things were delayed.

Suddenly, his heart moved: If he could advocate improving the efficiency of the court's office, wouldn't he be able to indirectly save many people?Isn't this a great merit?

But in an instant, he was discouraged: there are still many years in the saint's reign, and when the saint is in power, don't even think about it.

In the future, the new king will come to the throne... He is not the new king's confidant, so if he proposes rashly, he may not be taken seriously.After all, this is challenging the entire bureaucracy.

It's just that this incident has left traces in his heart. If there is an opportunity in the future, how can he not seize it?
