Chapter 67

What can 300 taels of silver do?

If it is for an ordinary family, 300 taels of silver is enough for them to live comfortably and comfortably for more than ten years.Even for an ordinary squire's family, 300 taels of silver are enough to pay for servants for several years.

But if you want to use 300 taels of silver to buy disaster relief food and medicinal materials, it is really a bit...

Gu Xichao also quickly realized this problem, the man in blue frowned tightly, and pondered for a long time before saying, "You go first, I'm going to sell the things in this mansion now, and send the money over in two days."

Lu Tage was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said lightly, "I have the money."

Then, he took out a silver note of 20 taels.

The 20 taels given to him by the original Dongyuan had been cashed out by Lu Tage and deposited into the system. Now it only cost 20 points to ask the system to convert the [-] taels into silver tickets of this world.

In all honesty, Lu Tage wanted to take the 20 taels back to Ding Jun. 20 taels could buy a lot of things for food and play.

But 20 taels cannot buy so many lives.

Lu Tage thought about it, but he also knew how many people the 20 taels could save in such a period. If these people's lives were used to exchange the 20 taels, even Lu Tage would never spend the 20 taels Two to Ding Jun.

Will die.

Glancing at Gu Xichao who was standing still because of the twists and turns, Lu Tage, who didn't want to hear those words of gratitude but did give them a helping hand, put on his hood, turned around and rushed into the depths of the rain curtain, using lightness skills, and went straight to the capital.

It is too weak for him to do such things as buying disaster relief food and medicinal materials by himself, but it is much easier for Yang Yu, who is the censor, to come forward.

The people from the Western Regions galloped through the rain, and sighed slowly.

For some reason, he always had the illusion that he was a believer in cats, because of that poor fish, and because of these two literati who had twisted intestines and couldn't speak well.

When Lu Tage rushed to Yang Yu's side again, it was already night, and Changge's disciple happened to be having dinner.He originally thought it was Gu Xichao's uneasy gossip when he took office as a new official, so he sipped his soup before slowly wiping his hands to do his work, but he didn't expect Zhan Xin to see that it was a flood in Qingzhou.

Yang Yu really almost choked on the tofu soup this time, so he hurriedly glanced at the general situation.

In short, the dams are unstable, resources are scarce, food is not enough, medicinal materials are scarce, superior officials ignore them, and subordinates do not move.

It can be said that other people are the three fires when new officials take office, while Gu Xichao is about to be flooded as soon as he takes office.

"20 taels is basically enough to buy food and medicinal materials." Yu Shi Zhongcheng took the thick bank note from Lu Tage, and frowned. "It's just that this matter...is difficult."

There are three problems. One is that when everything goes well, 20 taels successfully bought enough food and medicinal materials to keep Qingzhou through the catastrophe.But Yang Yu knew that this 20 taels was by no means a small amount, not to mention a representative figure like him who was the poorest of all officials in the Manchu Dynasty, 20 taels... was enough to cover half a year's tax revenue of a small state.

With Gu Xichao's background, it is almost impossible to get 20 taels, so when the time comes, the two parties of Cai and Fu in the imperial court will probably accuse Gu Xichao of embezzling taxes.

Regardless of the reason, it is a capital offense to move taxes.

The second is that although 20 taels can barely buy some food and medicinal materials, it is a bit whimsical to build a river embankment. The tens of hundreds of miles of long embankments are definitely not enough to live with just 20 taels... let alone repairing embankments You need to use sand and stones, if you accidentally bump into His Majesty's Hua Shi Gang, you are afraid that there will be another bloody wind in the hall in the blink of an eye.

The third is the attitude of the court.

According to Gu Xichao's letter, the torrential rain in Qingzhou was really not small, far exceeding previous years.Usually under this kind of flood, no matter how good the Zhizhou prefect is, he can only save one or two lives.

This statement is a combination of many powerless reasons, such as the capital getting the news too late, the delivery of food and medicinal materials is too slow, coupled with layers of exploitation... All in all, it is almost impossible to greatly reduce the loss of such a big disaster .

But Lu Tage can.

Young people with a system can exchange a little points with the system, open up some space to put most of the things in it, and go back and forth with ease. Apart from being tiring, at least the loss can be minimized.

That is to say, with the help of Lu Tage, the flood in Qingzhou can be passed safely and smoothly.

But after such a comfortable disaster relief, it was not easy to write a note for the emperor.

Flood disasters have always hurt countless people, if Gu Xichao actually handed over his nearly perfect record of disaster relief, the court's views on Gu Xichao would immediately be divided into two distinct factions.

One faction said that Gu Xichao lied about the flood, and said that the palm-sized matter was so miserable, maybe it wasn't because he wanted the imperial court to allocate money to enrich his own pockets.The other faction will say that Gu Xichao is greedy for fame and fortune, and draws up false news in order to get promoted step by step.

In other words, no matter what to do now, the situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable to Gu Xichao.

Your Majesty's heart is not in the mountains and rivers. The diligent heart that was just captured by Yang Yu and Lu Tage's "Lanling King Entering the Battle" a few days ago was taken away by the beauty in a blink of an eye. It was nearly half an hour early and late these two days. It's also quite black right now.

Although it was Yang Yu's plan to make Zhao Ji dote on Hua Xiangrong, but if such an emperor were to decide the future fate of the world and Gu Xi's official career, to be honest, Yang Yu really... couldn't rest assured.

But in the whole world, is it the king's land, the king's kindness is mighty, regardless of thunder, rain and dew, the courtiers can only accept it happily.

"You go and give this letter to Gu Xichao, and let him weigh it before acting." Changge disciple hesitated for a long time, and simply wrote all his thoughts into the letter and handed it to Lu Tage, and sent Xinmiao to go again "As for Food and medicinal materials, give me five days."

Lu Tage hummed, folded the tissue paper and stuffed it into his bosom, looking at Yang Yu with his blue eyes, showing a rare concern.

Companion to a monarch is like companion to a tiger. Although the people of the Western Regions live in the rivers and lakes, they have heard of the treacherous clouds above the temple many times.He couldn't quite understand what a good official Yang Yu was, who was poor enough to eat tofu soup and green vegetables. On the other hand, he knew that he and Gu Xichao were completely hiding under the wings of this sick and weak young man, so they could be in the officialdom. Can't breathe.

"Don't worry." After understanding the worry in the eyes of the people from the Western Regions, Yang Yu smiled gently, "This world is no different than Datang, and there are not many people who can do anything to win me."

Lu Tage paused for a while.

To be honest, that wasn't what he was afraid of.

What really worries the young people is that Yang Yu, a solid-minded person, is suffering from overwork.

Although the disciples of the Changge Sect always warned him not to kill indiscriminately, but to be honest, Lu Tage still doesn't think that group, especially after walking around Qingzhou, he found that the dog officials who really don't care about other people's life have any reason to live.

If something happened to Yang Yu, he would let the entire Cai Fu party go to be buried with him.

"I just ask you one thing." Yang Yu coughed lightly, and brought Lu Tage's mind back.

"Worry." The man from the Western Regions nodded and signaled him to keep talking.

"Gu Xichao is a new official. He is young and angry, so he must be impulsive during disaster relief." The young man frowned slightly, and said carefully, "If he does something out of proportion, I hope you will dissuade him."

Lu Tage "..."

Seeing that he was silent, Yang Yu looked over suspiciously, and let out a "huh?" from his throat.

"... Howling." The young man from the Western Regions immediately hesitated and said obediently.

In fact, this matter was really his fault, Lu Tage opened the door and broke into the rain again.

When he is really bullied or someone interferes with disaster relief, he should be the one who needs to be dissuaded from killing people first.
